plot twist: 8bit Bad End Sonic becomes the main villain when he kidnaps the first Classic Tails he can find #& refuses to give him up for anything #including the Classic Sonic who would rly like his lil bro back thanks

I know that's not primarily what the post was about but man that's what I fixated on

___

It was weird and kinda easy to forget. He was just as fast and had the same cockiness, but something in his eyes was different. But it was still Sonic.

Though he was older and that helped more than Tails wanted to admit. This new world was confusing and he was glad he wasn't completely on his own.

"Watcha thinkin' about lil' bro?" Sonic ran a hand through Tails' fur and ruffled his bangs.

He was really touchy too and truthfully, Tails didn't mind. His Sonic was his brother and a hero, well this one was too technically, but the most he normally got was a high five.

"Uhh, nothing big, but am I keeping you here?"

"I dunno, that sounds pretty big."  Sonic countered. He found a spot behind his ears and Tails leaned forward, just a bit.

"I mean it. I know I haven't been here for too long, but you haven't gone anywhere and even your runs are short.

Sonic humed in agreement and Tails pulled away. This was serious and he needed all his brain for it.

"I know you don't like staying in one place and we've been here for days! Is your Eggman not planning anything new or something?"

Sonic froze, something in his eyes shifted, and it was the same unknown meaness that Tails knew from Westside Island. But Tails didn't look away because this was Sonic, or a version of him, and Tails had promised himself to always be by his side.

His thoughts scattered as Sonic pulled him into a side hug, a hand fiddling with a tail.

"You're safe Tails, don't even think about it. Especially not on him."

"Yea but..."  Tails started, not sure where to go. That didn't make sense, Eggman wouldn't retire or something just like that.

"Drop it, Tails." Sonic snapped and the kit flinched, even though Sonic's hug was as nice as before.

Sonic sighed and crouched down to meet his eyes.

"Didn't mean to snap, lil' bro." He apologized. "But you don't have to worry about him anymore."

Sonic pulled him into a full hug, even wrapping his arms around his tails.

"And for me, I'm right where I'm meant to be."

Pokemon Games would be N, because boy howdy am I a predictable sad sack who loves a well-written rival. I just have a soft spot for Unova and the Gen 5 era in general, so a lot of my favourites are from that time.

In the Pokemon Anime that would naturally be Ash, of course, because baby's first crush and now he's baby's son boy. Although admittedly I haven't really been paying attention to how Journeys has been writing him since the change to the episodic format has kind of shafted him somewhat, but I actually do love the new-ish takes on him in the recent AU movies (not including the ho-oh one, because i hated that one). Making him a catalyst to help tell other people's stories and using him as a vehicle to explore the Pokemon world without, like, diminishing him as a character or letting him feel stale is really, really fun honestly, so I could absolutely go for more of these types of movies.

favourite children's card gamer is Yuma, although Vector is a close second. he was a very controversial protag when he first started out given that he was our first protag who wasn't IMMEDIATELY good at card games from the get-go, and zexal's art style was much more tecchnicolor and bright compared to othe others and people found him annoying? but oh my god he is such a good ball of sunshine aggressively dropkicking the plot and demanding to be let in . he emphasizes so deeply and so genuinely with his rivals and enemies that the standard friendship speech that is mandatory in ygo genuinely tears at me heart if it comes from baby boy yuma. that is my son child.

exactly  that!  my  personal  interpretation  of  his  actions  in  NEO  were  that  the  higher  plane  had  him  on  house  arrest  rather  than  dragging  his  ass  back  up  stairs.  he  made  too  many  too  close  and  personal  observations  about  the  wicked  twisters  and  his  kids.  he  was  just  prohibited  from  contacting  his  composer  during  the  game,  so  i’m  leaning  down  the  route  that  he  was  elevated  in  frequency  so  that  no  one  in  the  RG  and  UG  could  reach  him.  he  couldn’t  respond  to  them  either  because  the  higher  up  were  breathing  down  both  his  and  the  composers  neck  very  close.  any  wrong  moves  and  he’d  have  been  yanked  back  up  stairs  like  a  kitten  being  scruffed.  

wildkat  was  just  glamoured  in  the  RG/UG  so  that  it  seemed  like  an  ordinary  cafe  and  not  a  place  that  was  sought  out  by  knowing  parties.  kubo  likely  was  antagonizing  him  from  the  moment  he  stepped  into  the  city  knowing  hanekoma  was  at  a  disadvantage  so  hanekoma  did  what  he  thought  was  best.  

mystery  circle  is  still  wildkat.  its  just  the  glamour.  (  irl  mystery  circle  is  mystery  ranch  and  is  a  backpack  place  so  clever  glamour  square  enix  ww).  the  moment  that  the  NEO  events  were  up,  hes  like  ‘ok  back  to  business’.  he’ll  reimplement  CAT  gradually  thoughout  a  new  medium  and  things  are  back  to  how  they  should  be.  

just  personally,  i  think  he’s  holed  up  upstairs  in  the  cafe  and  i  like  the  idea  that  he  gave  coco  a  key  to  get  tsugumi  in  since  they  likely  fought  it  out  and  realized  they  were  on  the  same  side....  even  if  it  wasn’t  fucking  explained.

ok, physically, yes, Yor can wipe the floor w/ his ass. but emotionally? imagine the toll. that is her husband, the father of her child. we are in for some ANGST (& then for power couple teamup bc I will not tolerate this family being ripped apart I will NOT I will fight Endo MYSELF)

Why would his OWN ARMY steal his pokémon? Were they shiny hunters??? God this raises more questions than answers. XY really had the worst story of any games in the series.

AZ’s Floette actually isn’t even shiny; shiny Floette have purple bodies, while AZ’s has a blue body (there is also a sprite included in XY’s data for a shiny version of AZ’s Floette, which is pink?? and really solidifies the fact that his Floette is not shiny)...

what i’ve always assumed is that AZ’s Floette only looks so weird because it’s from another era; it is a subspecies of Floette that died out because the kind of flower it bonds with also died out at some point in the previous 3000 years (that the flower it holds is an extinct species of flower is actually stated in datamined Pokedex entries for AZ’s Floette, which was clearly supposed to be an obtainable event Pokemon at some point)
