@ABHibbs21@_greywithin I’d just like to point out that he’s 1 of 2 because he killed the third one for petty reasons, and he worked quite hard to be 1 of 1 lol
one of the most difficult challenges in pokemon
back in 1999, pokemon yellow launched in north america and it became one of the best gameboy games ever. but there was a secret mini game inside that only a small fraction of players ever got to play.
on route 19, there was a small beach house with an npc called the surfin’ dude. if you talked to him with a pikachu that knew surf, he’d let you play the surfing mini game called “pikachu’s beach.” pikachu rides the waves on a surfboard, does flips, and collect points.
the only way to get a pikachu with surf back then was through pokemon stadium on the n64. you had to transfer your pikachu there and beat the entire game once to unlock round 2, then win the prime cup master ball division, by having this pikachu in your team in every single battle. one loss and you had to start the whole cup over.
once you won the master ball division, you get to teach surf to your pikachu. then you transferred back to pokemon yellow and you go to the surfin’dude.
@ErisW0o That’s how I, as a kid, felt playing KH2. It was by many points of view the first “real” video game I’d ever played, and seeing the title after multiple hours of playing with Roxas blew my mind
@neronamonet That’s really because the Five Elders (and the World Government as a whole) weren’t the same type of characters/institution as they are now
