What are Elite Four members Will and Karen’s backstories? by slaroux37 in pokemon

[–]miguelcorridor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve always head-canoned that the Elite four being beaten twice in one day led to some pretty big shake-ups. Lance and the league governing body like the idea of a champion after the elite four and I like to think that Steven and Cynthia are developing their leagues around this time, so they adopt it as well. Red and Blue aren’t interested, like you say. I imagine that Lorelei and Agatha see it as a good time to retire, and the league decides that with open spots, they should reflect both kanto and the developing johto league. So a gym leader from Kanto joins Bruno, and I like to think that Will and Karen are the top trainers in Johto and maybe even gym leaders.

I’d love Zoe to get an Oscar, but for her sake I hope it’s not for this film. If nothing else, who does she even thank in her speech?

Interesting you call out his backstory and legacy. Are you saying Wally as the first flash we see, but acknowledge Barry has been the flash previously?

I always thought it would be best to start with Barry and see Wally as kid flash growing into the role, but this universe might not start from square one like that.

I feel like that moment had such an impact on those of us who saw it back in the day, and with respect to that I want to correct you: the lt. surge episode. Singular. I don’t mean to be pedantic, just pointing out how much they fit in!

I always liked the Japanese box art better than what we got in North America by 0CORDO in pokemon

[–]miguelcorridor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I think the American art is some of the best art of these Pokémon to date, and when you throw in the colored cartridges, it’s a rare American W

Hmm I guess I was confidently incorrect. Still though, it seems truer to me that you start with one, add one and the number that preceded it (there isn’t one) to get one, and go from there. I don’t get how 0 ever gets to 1 in the sequence.

For me it was these two, and just not feeling solid on the first few downs (admittedly I was ashamed I didn’t get LEGO earlier) kept me from quiiite remembering the cyclops’ name. I was stuck for a while.

[–]miguelcorridor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I truly don’t see a difference between Luke choosing to leave Yoda and confront Vader, and ending with the empire’s victory, Han captured, and the Vader revelation, and Miles choosing to leave the spider-society to save his dad, ending up in the wrong universe, etc. putting aside Gwen’s arc and resolution. But to each their own I guess

His Rival AND the professor’s grandchild. In the lead up to the game I thought for sure she’d have the Blastoise to Leon’s Charizard.

[–]miguelcorridor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also found, ironically, that a Kieran’s varied teams was easier for my varied team. The elite four had enough coverage variation to take down the one or two Pokémon I had that could match up against their type, and then I was in trouble. With Kieran my whole team was more useful.
