@Yamii Denryuu I think you hit the nail on the forehead as that exactly sounds like Pecharunt controlling the townsfolk to discredit Ogerpon.

[up] the main reason why Kieran's grandpa said to keep the secret from him was that he was a sensitive child, which makes his idolization Ogerpon more like a kid knowing something was off with what's he was told.

Pecharunt couldn't have controlled anyone. It got put in stasis after Ogerpon beat it and the trio up, didn't it?

[up][up]yes it was but there are scenes with Kieran that looks like he has a heat haze filter surrounding him, a purple aura around his fist when he punched the loyal three monument and how he convince the town so quickly, just feels like the writers wanted to do a story arc but couldn't, and there was a change with the directors between the parts so that's probably why it never came to be.

Or maybe they decided later on how Pecharunt's powers worked and changed things up for DLC 2.

[up]Nah it's easy to see that it became an abandoned arc in between parts plus how weak and rushed the finale was with Terapagos.

Edit: heck even the original plotline to the games got abandoned by the end of it, as the games were building up a grand finale at area zero but it came out as a wet fart by the end of it.

Got to check out the Taipei Pokemon Center today! It was pretty exciting albeit a bit... commercialized. (You guys would NOT believe the amount of plushies in that store)

How much Hydreigon merch is there? Asking the important question.

Also any Nidoking?

I'll still stand on the hill that Carmine's "mistreatment of Kieran" is VASTLY overstated. Yeah, she picks on him. Older siblings do that, its a very common thing. When things do get more serious, she shows that she does care about him. I see Carmine as a pretty realistically written character.

As an older brother myself my ass would be grass if I acted like Carmine, also I hate how she got away with being an jackass to Kieran and in general being an unpleasant person.

Going to agree on it feeling like typical sibling behavior (not even necessarily the older-younger dynamic), and at some point Carmine’s behavior balanced out for me. It’s disappointing we didn’t get more from her during Indigo Disk and Mochi Mayhem.

@Cross can't say I agree with that as Carmine gets dangerously close of being an abuser.

Not to derail the Carmine debate, but anyone wondering what Megas they might add to the new Legends game? There was that logo at the very end of the trailer.

I'm personally hoping for Megas of the Kalos starters (as they didn't have them in Gen 6 unless you count Ash-Greninja).

I'd definitely like to see mega forms for the Kalos starters, though it's also possible that whatever starters they pick for Z-A might get mega forms.

If the latter is the case, I really hope Snivy is one of the starters because I would love to see what a Mega Serperior looks like.

Not sure which part of my post you’re disagreeing with.
