Funny thing - I was actually the one to show you that But yeah, I love those guys
If you've only seen the fanart, you're missing the best parts of the Archie + Maxie stuff... The Machinima.
It's heavy-handed, with all the subtlety of a brick to the face. I mean, not that I'm expecting sophisticated writing from Pokemon but what made Wally pretty cool in the original was that he was this weak kid that you really didn't interact too much with, and the suddenly he shows up before the Elite Four with a really badass team. It's great because it all happens in the background and you get to fill the hasp with your imagination. Now Wally is like this moe blob that everyone is sure is destined for greatness and you are directly told that formerly surprise battle on Victory Road is going to happen, which really kills all the suspense. His battle theme is pretty rad, but really, I think this was not necessary. Also, Steven talks way too much now, killing all the cool and mysterious qualities that he had in the original, but I digress. I did like, however, how Team Aqua was developed, because that actually fit, and with all the fanart Archie and Maxie and their Admins get, I actually started feeling really attached to those guys so it was really nice to see them upgraded from outright evil to misguided but ultimately good-hearted.
In what way? Personally, I never really liked Wally's story to begin with. I don't think we see him enough to get the growth he needs in order to really have a solid story.
Call me weird, but now that I beat the main story, I think they kinda botched Wally's subplot in ORAS.
Congratulations! Shiny Relicanth even looks pretty cool, IIRC. 1 down, 719 to go! (Not actually, since some legends are still shiny locked).
Holycrapholycrapholycrap!!! I just caught a shiny Relicanth! MY FIRST ACTUAL SHINY EVER!!!!!
It's fine, Sky, don't worry
Sorry about the earlier Moogle Hug, Fynn. I've been a bit of a wreck lately.
It's okay. Jinx is gone from the tournament, so Rez wins by default, which means we can start the finals once everyone's ready. I'll upload the updates brackets this weekend.
