MORE POKEMON
SO ANYWAY GYM LEADERS FIRST
Chuck (again): I didn't really talk much about him last time but I remembered what I wanted to say! So. I'm sort of disappointed that throwing a boulder for no reason before the "What? That has nothing to do with Pokemon battles?" was completely replaced by the waterfall. Why couldn't we have both, damnit.
Jasmine: Her sprite totally looks like she's going to punch you in the face. I approve of her being totally fierce as well as moe. Anyway, I think I soloed her with Skippy.
Pryce: Godddd this gym was really unsettling after reading Special. I know gamesPryce is completely well-adjusted, but then you get to that one snowboarder who's all I KNOW PRYCE'S SECRET and I'm just like "...do you, now." Also his little in-fight dialogue where he talks about his middle name reminded me of the one boss fight song from No More Heroes 2 (which I haven't played, but the song is fabulous). MARGARET IS GREEK YOU GEEK IT MEANS PEARL, I'M A PURE GIRL

Silver: Silver saying "Why so serious?" is the most hilarious thing ever. Also, the stripping alshfkshf
Professor Elm: I wish Peachi did Pokemon comics, because the mental image of Gold's reaction to Elm's little "Hey Gold, there's a weird radio broadcast about Team Rocket! I wonder if they're back? ...naaaaaaah" automatically translated into Peachivision for me.
Lance: TWO ON ONE IS DISHONORABLE even though perfectly normal non-Rocket trainers have doubleteamed Gold before...
Gold: ...okay yeah this is Player Character Experiences that I'm sure are just as fun with Lyra, but oh my god, running around trolling people while dressed in the Team Rocket uniform is the funniest thing ever. I love it so much and I wish you got to do it longer and that you got to do it more than just once.
SPEAKING OF TEAM ROCKEEEEEET~
OH MY GOD THEY'RE WONDERFUL, EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM
Grunts: They're so adorably incompetent, oh my god. So cuuuuute. Also, I love the Proton fangirl and the one who implies that TR is Chaotic Whatever They Want To Be.
Proton: DAT ASS. I am still incredibly baffled as to why Japan makes him moemoe when he's very clearly THIS TONE OF SCREAMS COMING FROM YOUR SHRIVELING THROAT, THE MELODY BECOMES A RAINBOW OF VERMILION or something like that (I could not resist linking that song, it is amazingly addictive even though it is serious high octane nightmare fuel). Actually... he reminds me of a very ragey post-MGS3 Ocelot, after Ocelot decided that he loev torture. Except his ass is more like Snake's.
Petrel: PETREL IS MY FAAAAAVORITE, HE'S SO ADORABLE AND I WANT TO TAKE HIM HOOOOME. Seriously, when I first saw his character design I didn't think I'd like him that much, but he's turned out to be absolutely wonderful. I'd actually kind of like to play him somewhere, but considering you only battle him twice and there are two scenes where he speaks... er... yeaaaah. HE HAS PRETTY DECENT CHARACTERIZATION IN THOSE SCENES FOR A POKEMON GAME THOUGH ;_; Maybe I can find a jamjar or something...
Ariana: THE FIERCEST BITCH. She's like Bellatrix Lestrange except better. Every conversation leaves me wondering if she's planning to ravish the adorable PC if they lose, my god. Especially the last one. "I respect your battling prowess" is totally a come-on in the Pokemonverse. Anyway, I ship her and Giovanni even harder now because I like the juxtaposition of "gets shit done even if it is messy" and "classy mastermind."
Archer: Not GAR like the one from F/SN. He was kind of disappointing, really; I wish he had more screentime, because he was potentially pretty interesting but he's easily overshadowed by all of the above.
A-anyway I've sort of been throwing around the idea of setting up a general Team Rocket community, but I am running into the snags of a) do I have time for this and b) will it be overtaken by the Jessie, James, and Meowth fans even though I would rather have it be about Special!Team Rocket and games!Team Rocket. Ah well, I'll think about it some more.
