Do you think the Treasures of Ruin get upset about not being allowed to destroy things after they're caught. like you're just trying to keep your Chien-Pao from causing Another Avalanche and they're like
"you STOP Chien-Pao? you keep them from playing in the snow? oh! oh! imprisonment for trainer! imprisonment for trainer for One Thousand Years!!!!"
I do hope the Treasures of Ruin come into play in Horizons eventually, because it feels like some of the Explorers' designs just gel really well with them, particularly Spinel/Chien-Pao, Sidian/Ting-Lu, and Chalce/Wo-Chien, and it would give them a good counter to the Six Heroes (three of which are Legendaries, so as powerful as the Explorers' Pokemon are shown to be, they might not be able to keep up) and Terapagos.
Plus, with them originally going after the mysterious treasure that ended up being Terapagos, giving them some cursed treasure just feels really fitting, y'know? 😁
On that day, we became friends. We became rivals. We became legends.
Happy 1st anniversary Scarlet and Violet! This gen holds a special place in my heart; thanks to the co-op mode, I was able to play this game with my brother, which we have not played together for ages since BW. We battled a lot and he helped me find the remaining two stakes (which I can proudly say that I found the rest on my own without relying on the guide) during Christmas. It was so fun and I genuinely felt like I was thrusted back to that time.
Yes, the issues are unfortunately undeniable to forget, but gosh darn it I love this game too much especially the cast. I felt strongly sympathetic towards Nemona, who didn’t have anyone to share her joys and passion with at full extent; Penny, with her struggles with isolation and bullying; then we have Arven, who took care himself basically for most of his life without parental care, and sought whatever means to help his good ol doggo. And then we have the Kitakami siblings, which I hope we can make amendments cause oh boy, Kieran's personality and frustration losses resonated with me a lot. A lot. Then we have our korai/mirai. I love, love, love how we end up creating a name, a legacy for ourselves and our riding lizards. Plus, the lore for the ruinous four is just absolutely awesome.
