Did you know Gym Leaders are intentionally holding back against you?
• In Pokémon Origins, Brock asks Red how many badges he has. When Red says “zero,” Brock picks only TWO Pokémon.
• The Levels: The first Gym Leader’s Pokémon are around Lv 12-15. The eighth is only Lv 45-50. You’re telling me one of the region’s strongest trainers only has mid-40s Pokémon… when the Elite Four is sitting at Lv 60+?
• Larry: In Scarlet/Violet, Larry is BOTH a Gym Leader and an Elite Four member. As a Gym Leader he uses a pathetically weak Normal-type team. At the Elite Four he switches to a high-level Flying-type team. Same man. Two completely different power levels depending on his shift for the day. The game literally shows you he’s holding back.
• The Confession: In Black 2 & White 2, Cheren (the first Gym Leader) straight-up says the Gym Leader job is tough because “If I had my usual partners…” - admitting he can’t use his real competitive team against new trainers.
• The System: They stand in a building waiting for kids to walk in, use mono-type teams that are easy to counter.
• The Real Challenge: Notice the Champion is the only fight with a full balanced multi-type team. Everything before that was staged.
Every badge you earned was handed to you. The system was designed so you’d pass. You weren’t being tested - you were being trained.
Does this change how you see every Gym battle?

@dodgerfowler @BatVibes I would understand if it were a military training exercise, but why is it clandestine? If it’s clearly approved by the government
English

@BatVibes the pkmn league is a clandestine military training exercise. the entire pkmn world not only went through a war, but the war may not be over. the entire pkmn world is at war
regions can only travel with their military partners, and an open world pkmn game is a world at war

@kiel95427829 @AcervoCapitano That tea party was probably when they talked the most trash about him lol
English

@WarshakC @AcervoCapitano Even though Signora and Tartaglia really didn't get along....
English

@AcervoCapitano And they would just agree if he brings Tartaglia with him..

@SharkDSilly @encore142002 @flinslover Venti's hair is dark purple and turns blue at the ends of his braids
English

@tertene @encore142002 @flinslover his hair fades into blue. it's not entirely black/ "pure" black 💔

@rabbitbunnny It's funny that I'm seeing this image today because yesterday I finished watching murdererofbirds' playthrough of this part of the Aranaras quests
English

@SharkDSilly @encore142002 @flinslover Eh???Hmm, now that I'm taking a closer look, maybe I've been replying to the wrong person this whole time

English

@tertene @encore142002 @flinslover we're talking about black in general. show me a genshin character with fully black hair. When I said pure black I meant coverage. no white on top, or it actually being a dark purple. that's what the og poster was talking about

@kei10091996 @lyn49556 Probably locked up in her house eating macaroni

@SharkDSilly @encore142002 @flinslover I'm saying that pure black hair isn't used in digital media because it doesn't look good and causes graphical glitches, and that characters who are supposed to have black hair will always be some other color—extremely dark, close to black, but not pure black.
English

@tertene @encore142002 @flinslover huh? a dark shade can be the same as #000000 in the way that they're black. Black is a spectrum isntead of an absolute. Is that what you're talking about? I'm kinda confused on what you mean...lol...

@mokyodai @silverrstagg So you're financing hunters to hunt down the claws for you?
English

@silverrstagg it’s just me, but i use the starglitter shop to buy the fangs 😭 i can’t bring myself to kii the saurians, i hate hoyo for this. 😭
English

@tertene @encore142002 @flinslover it's black bro idk what to tell you? 😭 also its the lighting. here's a gif and that one wuwa girl. no colors in games will realistically be pure black for the same reason nothing will be purely white. Everything would have to match it's shade and everything else would look crazy

@SharkDSilly @encore142002 @flinslover None of these characters are pure black; the girl has two different shades of black, and both on the left are literally dark shades of gray.
English

@flinslover Pure black doesn't look good on video game characters
English

@flinslover Digitally, pure black causes graphical issues, so no character has 100% black hair
English

@encore142002 @flinslover that's greyish blue. they're talking about deep dagk black hair just like blonde haired characters and white haired characters

@ravenf4ng it is her weapon they just started putting lore in whatever weapon they felt like tbh
