History Awesome / PokemonRanger

* Every time you get on a Pokémon in the third game. Especially when you're actually using it for something besides a way to get around quicker.

* During the Ranger Net mission Liberate the Tower in the second game, you have to make use of Darkrai's field move, Dark Power, which sucks up about a dozen Team [[strike:Dim Sun]] Debonairs grunts and deposits them in the shores of the beach at Vientown. Awesome enough on its own, but then you realize that clearing out a large number of grunts is the situation which, earlier in the game, calls for a ''Skuntank''. The reek of a Skuntank is so disgusting that it ''serves the same purpose as a Legendary Pokémon's signature move''. That manages to be indescribably awesome and [[{{Squick}} horrifyingly disgusting]] at the same time.

** Later when you're infiltrating Altru Tower, Barlow fails to bust down a door that Melody and Issac are behind, so he asks Keith and the player for help. Right before the three of you charge at the door, you all strike your ranger poses, and Barlow calls out "[+Target! Growaaah!+]"
* Near the end of the first game Gordor gloats about his machine can control any Pokemon in the region, and how he has even taken control of the legendary beasts. He makes a comment about "useless" Pokemon, directed at Lunick and Solana's partner Pokemon, Plusle and Minun. Plusle and Minun are clearly offended by this comment, and proceed to sneak past him while he's not looking, and then break the machine. Never underestimate the little guy.
