@Chad Did you? If you actually talked to the grunts in N's Castle, you see that a lot of them truly believed in what they were fighting for.

Sorry meant Death Cloud.

Everything's been done. Everything has a meaning. However your life at best is to serve as a building block for others.

yeh the leader beleives at all, however he's being used by someone that pretty much raised him to beleive as he does just to use him for his own goal the thugs vary, some really beleive him, some are just thugs that like beating kids up to take there pokemon

Build a fool proof system, and the world will create a better fool. My random thoughts

@Psi I don't even think that humans are needed in animated shows.

And about Pokemons, capturing monsters and using them in fight is cool concept even if many of them are adorable critters. But when you develop and flesh out setting more (like turning gameboy game into animated series) and keep that thing this concept become sick and wrong.

Because he know I'm going to go out in this plane and I'm going to remove one of His creations from His universe.

I thought their big plan was to make everyone else release their pokemon so they could take over the world?

Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

@Psi, Maybe in an alternate universe.

I analyze "Geek Culture" here.

When All Else Fails, worry, that's the 14 way.

@Death Cloud They want to fight. And the final gym leader says that Pokemon don't have to be with their trainers if they don't desire to.

@Storyyeller Ghetsis goal was to have everyone release control of their Pokemon, then control Legendary Pokemon to rule the world.

@Story That was the Man Behind the Man. He more or less created, then duped the whole organization into furthering his own goals.

#229835 Psi 001 Wed, 20th Jun '12 5:29:42 PM

@Death Cloud: Sometimes it not even a point about humans and critters division. Sometimes writers just tend to make a more realistic character in the cast for an Audience Surrogate. eg. Inspector Gadget has Penny, who really stands out amist the other more cartoony humans and has the least comedic quirks.

A while back I noticed that Jynx and Derpy have a few things in common: they're both blonde females who got edited in response to controversy.

The problem with audience surrogates is that they usually aren't.

Alright, that made lol.

#229839 Psi 001 Wed, 20th Jun '12 5:32:12 PM

I suppose I get it from a writer's point of view, but I never saw the appeal in them, why would a character with no flaws or quirks be more relatable than the others?

Again, a good point about FIM, it makes characters that are vivid and wacky, but still in a rather relatable sense. Maybe it's a reason I got so worked up over AJ getting even slightly near the "normal pony" territory. I hate "normal" characters.

Have Audience Surrogates (as entire characters) ever been effective?

Kyon from Haruhi is an Audience Surrogate, and he's pretty much the most popular character. It can be done well.

#229842 Death Cloud Wed, 20th Jun '12 5:34:06 PM from Horsehead Nebula

@Chad That's not impression what I got when watching anime, where pokemons are mercilessly beat by trainers before capture and sometimes forced to fight what can kill them.

Why only terrorist are bothered by that in this world?

And I haven't play any game of series.

@Blue Hence why I was asking.
