My Fanboy corner

This is Team Rocket:

They are a supposedly evil crime organization founded by this guy named Giovanni:

But what are their real motivations? To steal Pokemon, right? Wrong! That’s what these guys do in the anime:

In the games, they don’t steal Pokemon. They run a reputable casino. Their boss is a respected Gym Leader. They do steal two items from The Silph Corporation: The Silph Scope and the Master Ball. Why do they need these things? This guy:

Mewtwo, a lab experiment gone horribly awry, is a Psychic type so he’s resistant to ghosts. Giovanni knew he needed the Silph Scope so he can see the ghosts and capture one to defeat Mewtwo. He also needed the Master Ball to catch Mewtwo if all else fails. The greedy Silph Co. wouldn’t part with these things when he asked so he had to steal them. However, that isn’t the end of the story. New information has come to light. 

The Team Rocket motto reads thusly:

To protect the world from devastation

To unite all peoples within our nation

To denounce the evils of truth and love

To extend our reach to the stars above

Hmmm. Sounds familiar?

Let’s look at the other villainous teams of the Pokemon world:

How about these guys:

And these guys:

Team Magma and/or Team Aqua, depending on your version, want to destroy the world by using two legendary Pokemon to suit their needs. Magma want to cover the world with land using Groudon. Aqua want to cover the world with water using Kyogre.

To protect the world from devastation

What about the newest team from the far away Kalos region:

Team Flare are a group of elitist individuals who are all about style. Their leader, Lysandre, is obsessed with beauty and will destroy the world using an ancient weapon harnessing the power of Xerneas or Yveltal to preserve its beauty at all costs. The members of Team Flare look down on others who aren’t rich or stylish like they are. 

To unite all peoples within our nation

Getting it yet? Or should we take a look at these guys:

Team Plasma, who also dress like medieval knights, are a PETA-esque group founded by Ghetsis and N that want to separate the bond between human and Pokemon. They believe that Pokemon shouldn’t be owned by humans and will go to villainous, exploitative ends to free Pokemon from their trainers, even releasing legendary Pokemon such as Zekrom, Reshiram, or Kyurem. This team has sort of a point about the flawed nature of Pokemon training even through their hypocrisy.

To denounce the evils of truth and love 

And finally we come to this team:

Team Galactic is an evil scientific organization searching for the space Pokemon Palkia and/or the time Pokemon Dialga, depending on your version, in order to recreate the universe by their own means.

To extend our reach to the stars above

So, Giovanni was aware of the plans of these other teams. And he made it his life’s work to stop them! He is the real HERO of the Pokemon franchise! He is the protector of the Pokemon world and tries to prevent the use of powerful, legendary Pokemon from destroying humanity.

This also translates into:

“Why am I so motivated when it’s really late?”

“The best time to make ideas is through sleep deprivation!”

“I want to do so much more right before bed and I don’t understand why!”

etc.

So basically when you stay up way too late it effects your problem solving ability and your ability to make decisions. [1]

Do you want to know a possible reason as to why that “I stayed up really late and now I feel so creative and willing to draw!” feeling happens?  Because your self-critique center is shutting down because you’ve been awake for too long.

You are always as creative and able to do things as you were when you were awake.  That potential doesn’t just disappear.

Difference is– when you’re wide awake you have a stronger problem-solving and decision-making center, which is obviously related to self-critique.  Being tired doesn’t necessarily make you more creative and motivated, being tired forces you to quiet that part of yourself that holds you back.

Something to think about.

so like, i was watching a youtube video, and I caught something interesting in the Mirror Gem episode where Lapis is on her water tower and is looking to the “Homeworld”. I noted something interesting about what’s noted to be “Homeworld”

It’s not just one star that is distinctively Homeworld. It’s those four stars that the show deliberetly makes you focus on when she looks to Home. What I found interesting was that those Stars…they’re colors seem to be (from left to right) Blue, Whitish-yellow, Pink, and White. I could be wrong but perhaps this is similar to…

Perhaps “Homeworld” is never mentioned with the actual name of it because the three Homeworld Gems we’ve seen so far (Lapis, Jasper, and Peridot) don’t have a single “Homeworld” but perhaps four different gem planets. And it could explain why Pearl and Garnet don’t say the specific name of it, either. They all just refer it as “Homeworld” because there is no one place. 

On top of that, it would explain why there were four leaders (the Diamonds) who ruled over “Homeworld” and I never really see things going well when there is more than one ruler (i.e. three popes back in the 1300′s). The Diamonds each ruled one planet all to themselves. It also would explain the temple where you see the statues of the diamonds. 

They are not together as perhaps a council over one planet. They are seperated from each other as if they had to come together and not already together.
