i do love the newer more fleshed out pokemon rivals but there really was somethign so funny about watching another 11 year old deliver a “strong shall conquer the weak friendship is worthless” villain speech in gen 2 because… i mean yeah 11 year olds really are like that
silver: friendship is for WEAKLINGS i want to punish every idiot who thinks stickign with others will save them. i also hate team rocket FOR NO REASON IN PARTICULAR especially their boss WHO MY RELATION TO IS NOT OF YOUR CONCERN
silver like one year later with a pokemon that evolves through friendship and a whole team that loves him: hey uh sorry about that do you wanna like. hang out
Silver: *evily sips a juicebox*
