Nuclear Take: Berdly is my litmus test on whether or not I believe someone does or doesn’t fall into the “I can’t read. I’m an Undertale fan.” meme.
Toby literally spelled his goddamn backstory out in Chapter 2, and we basically have Berdly’s design document on how he acts as a character.
Let me be clear though, if you don’t like Berdly cause he’s annoying or his trope (incompetent at intellectual) isn’t your cup of humorous tea, you’re 100% valid.
If I see someone who still says stuff like Berdly’s an incel or something as far out as that, I’m just going to assume they’ve planted themselves securely under the meme of UTDR fans can’t read.
Berdly:
- is a Gifted Child™️ (spelled out in his backstory)
- clings onto people who show him the slightest bit of kindness (He developed a crush on Susie after she gave him that pep talk about him not needing to be pressured to act smart. Can you imagine if she was the first person to ever actually say that to him?)
- projects an outward facade of bravado and EXTREME confidence to mask his EXTREME insecurity (again, explained in his backstory)
AGAIN, if that facade makes you dislike him, FAIR! We have no further context and he hasn’t been present enough to endear the audience any further! That’s FAIR! I also understand if you dislike him because of him assuming Noelle had a crush on him, but also, please don’t make that out to also be incel evidence. He’s a teenager with really shitty social skills.
But if your reading of his character doesn’t include at least SOME of what I listed above, please just replay Chapter 2 again.

General Deltarune Spoilers: We’re talking about the public demonization of the Soul/Player and whatever it’s called when you say ‘oh it’s a baby can do no wrong I feel so sorry for them’-ization of Kris.
I think it’s pretty ridiculous how everyone’s doubled down on the Soul/Player being an evil entity in this story ever since Chapter 3 and 4 came out. This is of course, not considering the Weird Route.
It’s like we didn’t get a single additional drop of nuance to that conversation handfed to us by Toby himself.
Now, to be clear, I’m not trying to be those people who say “Kris is evil and I’m actually the good guy here!” As I said, Toby airdropped us some quality nuance in both of the new chapters.
The nuance lies in how our relationship as the Player with Kris is a transactional one. One where we have apparently been gotten ahold of due to our ‘necessity’ according to the phone call.
Yes, Kris dislikes us and takes measures to incapacitate and contain us when they need us to not see whatever they’re doing, or just because they want a break from us. Or both, as seen with Noelle’s house.
But consider, Kris is not a bad person. They’re a bit of a problem child, but they’re not malicious. I don’t believe that they would actually be going along with a fundamentally malicious plan, even if they were coerced. This means that they must have some sort of personal stake in the plan that Team Knight is trying to pull off, whether it’s helping to find/purify Dess, or supporting Rudy or Carol (in the event either of them are the knight).
Kris has shown that whatever plan they’re a part of, it’s worth acting as double agent against Susie and Ralsei, AND taking on the Soul within themselves. Which, let’s get back to.
I highly highly doubt that Kris legitimately hates the Soul. I personally believe that they dislike us, sure, but in the way that one would dislike a grueling responsibility that saps someone of their time and energy. You don’t like that this is something you have to do, but you know that you HAVE to do it, for the sake of something down the road.
I think that the sentiment that Kris is a pure victim who’s being abused by the antics of the soul and that they don’t get to eat or whatever and we’re so shitty, I feel like shit, BLAH BLAH BLAH, it’s all a load of BS.
We were summoned from whoever we came from in the void, and taken into Kris willingly to achieve whatever it is Team Knight wishes to achieve (which I have a theory for if you check out my previous post). The process is strenuous and exhausting, but in exchange, allows Kris to do things such as sealing dark fountains and banishing darkness, something no one else can do.
I firmly believe that in the coming chapters, our relationship with Kris will finally evolve, especially once Susie realizes that she befriended two different people (Kris as a person, the Soul’s actions) and was betrayed by Kris working with the Knight. We will break up with Susie (not in that way) and leave us alone with Kris, who we will have to make peace with so that we could understand them and fight together for the same good, after which we will have to confront Susie and try to get her back on Kris’ side.
Toby believes in media, and especially games, as vessels for hope and empowerment, and that people can always do the right thing.
I highly doubt that he’d write a story where a player who had done nothing wrong gets demonized purely for following along and anyone who believes otherwise needs to lighten up.

Random Deltarune Sentiment I Have
I don’t know about anyone else, but no matter who is the knight; Dess, Rudy, Carol, etc, whatever, I only want one thing.
I don’t want an ounce of heroic nuance thrown their way.
I genuinely don’t want The Knight to end up like every other villain who turned out to be attempting to achieve a good goal despite their villainous and harmful actions; where they’re “saved” in some way by the end and have to essentially sacrifice themselves to redeem all their past actions.
I do NOT want that, not again. I’ve had enough of stories who grant free passes to characters who commit evil to achieve some kind of good by turning them into martyrs that everyone has to owe their lives/everything to at the end. I want justice, goddamnit.
Martyrdom isn’t justice. It’s the coward’s way out, the easy way into the halls of heaven.
Whoever The Knight is, they’ve already caused some harm, and has shown to be willing to stoop even further. And whenever they do get revealed, they have to pay for their actions. Not run away from them. There have to be consequences.
I feel the same way for Kris to a lesser extent, mostly because I’m pretty sure they’ll get forgiven more easily especially by Susie, assuming the crash out from her doesn’t happen like I mentioned in my previous posts.

BATSHIT INSANE DELTARUNE THEORY I’M JUST FIRING FROM THE HIP HERE
GENERAL SPOILERS FOR THE WHOLE GAME SO FAR
WHAT IF TEAM KNIGHT’S PLAN IS TO TRAIN THE SOUL TO BE STRONG ENOUGH TO BANISH THE KNIGHT’S (AKA DESS) DARKNESS?
Okay, okay, okay, so Chapter 4 revealed that the Soul is considered necessary in some way by Team Knight.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Side note: I will not be calling Kris a victim in any way, shape, or form. Even before I thought of this theory, the circumstances pointed to Kris willingly taking on the Soul for the purposes of their plan. The phone call at the end reveals that they are being coerced in some way, but I believe that there’s a lot more willingness on Kris’ end than most people believe.
Now, the biggest question in the air after that is what exactly is the Soul needed for. The phone call itself doesn’t imply all too much, other than the fact that the Soul is needed for something Kris can do within the dark world.
So, we turn to what exactly the Soul is capable of thus far.
The most notable thing that we’ve seen the Soul do is banish darkness, whether it’s sealing a dark fountain, or banishing the darkness, Titan spawn, or the Titan through brilliant light.
So what’s the theory?
This theory is based on another assumption/theory that the Knight itself is at least, partly feral at this point. In its intro, you can see it’s drooling, which probably means that whoever the knight is, they’re at the very least, not all there upstairs.
Tumblr media
This is in spite of its seeming intelligence and consciousness, as seen in how the Knight laughs at Susie’s face when she tries to threaten her, and even shows off during its attacks and moves. The most obvious one is most certainly when it posed while floating all the way up the stairs during the final confrontation of the first dark world in Chapter 4.
What can we determine from this?
Well, my proposal, is that Dess (she’s the knight for this theory) is corrupted somehow. Corrupted by the darkness in some way, which is somewhat supported by the fact that she’s the Shadow Crystal boss of Chapter 3. The fact that her weapon drops both the Black Shard and the Shadow Crystal seems to imply that they themselves are made out of the material, at the very least equipment-wise. If the Shadow Crystal on its own is capable of corrupting others’ minds like Spamton and Jevil, imagine if you were encased in armor made up of the same material.
Back to the original theory, there’s a clear progression in the Fun Gang’s strength due to the sealing of Dark Fountains. This includes the Soul, which I don’t personally believe would have been able to purify the Titan if it were back in Chapter 1.
I believe Team Knight’s plan is to cultivate the Soul within Kris, to strengthen it enough to be able to banish a specific kind of darkness. The darkness of the mind that the Shadow Crystal inflicted on Dess. This ties back to the supposed promise that Kris is being coerced with.
I don’t actually believe Kris to be a wholly unwilling participant of Team Knight. They may have grown to be less willing due to their growing friendship with Susie and her newfound resolve to oppose the Knight, and the fact that this meant that they were on opposite sides, but I believe they still have that determination towards Team Knight’s goal that Kris promised. A promise that I believe goes something like,
“I promise, we WILL cure Dess. No matter what.”

DELTARUNE CHAPTER 4 ENDING SPOILERS
The more I think about Chapter 4’s ending, the more it just baffles me that a bunch of things happened all at once:
- Soriel was made canon, and guess what? It’s starting out toxic. No hate to Soriel shippers, but I can only imagine how it feels to have a ship get canonized, only for it to make one of the characters a worse person. Toriel, because she fell in with Sans, forgot about Kris and Susie in the rain. For the entire day. (By the way, no, I never held Toriel on any pedestal, now or ever. One of my past posts is talking about how UT Toriel didn’t have a problem with Asgore specifically killing children.) Truly, Toby Fox holds a monkey’s paw in his own paws, that rat bastard.
- Despite the tonal whiplash, it really contributed to the theme of the two chapters revealing more of Susie’s feelings, particularly concerning those that she wrong her. I mentioned this in one of my recent posts how Susie went through numerous instances of this; disliking how Tenna was hiding something from them, yelling at Ralsei for keeping secrets, etc. And with Chapter 4’s ending, Susie is presumably still reeling from a prophecy that made her smash it and cut her hand enough to make it bleed. She’s probably tired, afraid, and in need of comfort, which she’s revealed that she finds in Toriel, one of the only adults she legitimately respects because of how she comforted her when she first moved to Hometown. And what does she find? She finds Toriel at home, safe and sound, and drunk after an entire journey of trying to save her. I can only imagine the heartbreak she felt, if we’re running with the assumption that Susie herself has a bad home life with parents that may or may not be similarly drunk and/or neglectful.
- Kris was probably wrestling with the realization that Susie and Ralsei are only getting more and more determined. Despite their true friendship, they are on opposite sides; Kris with the knight, Susie and Ralsei against them. I think they may have thought that they would be able to keep their secret, but after Chapter 4, it became all too clear that it’s only a matter of time until Susie and Ralsei find out about Kris’ true allegiances. Which explained why they may or may not have jumped up to the windowsill to contemplate ending it so that they wouldn’t have to live through that heartbreak. They heard Susie’s voice and after hearing her continue to speak her resolve, they might’ve thought about it. Until it gets revealed that Kris might be getting coerced in some way, by Carol (most likely).
Chapter 5 actually cannot come fast enough.

So like, serious question about Deltarune.
If you got Miss Mizzle or Tasque Manager pregnant in the Dark World, what happens to the water or the computer in the Light World?

DELTARUNE CHAPTER 3/4 SPOILERS
I’m so ready for when Susie finds out that her first true and closest friend was actually in kahoots with the knight all along.
Chapters 3 and 4 have been prepping us up for Susie’s reaction to betrayal, from her disliking that Tenna was being so secretive, to her blowing up at Ralsei for not telling her the whole deal, and finally, the disappointment in her face and words after finding Toriel at home, drunk and having forgotten about the two of them in the rain after a long, exhausting journey trying to “rescue” her.
I will be inconsolable when she sheds her first on-screen tears of rage and sadness and we’re forced to fight her, and I’m going to force Kris to face tank all that damage.
I’m going to be similarly devastated if, in desperation to keep their friendship with Susie, Kris blames the soul for their involvement with the knight. And I will have dreams of Susie’s response that it was the soul that purified the Titan and gave them light when all was said and done.
Whatever their reasons for working with the knight, I’m a ride or die for best girl Susie.

Why I Hate Teddie and How I’d Fix This Idiot (Yes, spoilers)
Yes, I know the image is low quality. In all honesty, he deserves it.
Teddie is honestly one of the worst characters I’ve ever experienced. I genuinely have no clue how people prefer this walking garbage bin to Morgana. I might be a bit biased to Morgana because I genuinely love him, but I can understand what turns people off of him.
Morgana has a nice story and relationship to Joker, but his relationship with Ryuji is painfully unchanging and grating to experience, especially during the break-up arc. Speaking of that arc, Morgana DOES steal away the spotlight from Haru in both the introduction AND the ending where he was the one to get the last word against Okumura before the battle instead of, I dunno, his actual daughter.
BUT NONE OF THAT IS WORSE THAN TEDDIE’S FLAWS.
When first playing P4G (great game btw, loved it all the way through except when I realized that I accidentally locked myself out of the true ending and got so mad I had to take a break from the game), I was fine with Teddie. In fact, he was pretty neat, being so innocently supportive of the protag after the first awakening. I was perfectly fine with having him around as an innocent otherworldly being who gets eased into the ‘real’ world and grows attached to it and wants to be a part of it.
The big fuckin’ issue is that he STOPS being that at Yukiko’s palace. At first, when he got introduced to the ‘hot stud’ thing, it was a fine joke. Innocent character gets introduced to saucy talk and doesn’t know what exactly it means. But then suddenly????
Suddenly, Teddie starts acting exactly like some suave pick-up artist??? Why??? Wasn’t the point that he had no idea what any of it was, so why was he suddenly acting like yet another pervert added to the team? We already had Yosuke and he’s enough pervert for the whole game. I love that guy, wish he was gay, but I only had enough patience for ONE pervert.
And the worst part is, Teddie continues to play the role of “I don’t know anything and I want someone to help guide me through it all so I can be useful”, while still clinging onto the “charismatic” (in HEAVY quotation marks) perv who tries to sweet talk any girl within his range.
INCLUDING THE MOTHERFUCKING 6-7 YEAR OLD NANAKO. AND THE WRITERS STILL HAD THE AUDACITY TO CREATE A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO. YOU HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO WATCH THE LITTLE GIRL YOU’VE CREATE A BROTHER-SISTER TYPE RELATIONSHIP OVER THE COURSE OF THE GAME START LIKING THE PERVERT WHO HIT ON HER.
Tumblr media
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.
THIS ISN’T A MAIKO “Let’s get married when I grow up! :D” SITUATION. THE OLDER PERSON IS THE ONE WHO INITIATED IT AND IN THE SAME PERVERTED TONE HE USED ON EVERY OTHER GIRL HE HIT ON.
TLDR: Teddie is presented as an otherworldly being who wants your help to navigate through the new world he’s found himself in, just as you needed his help in the Midnight Channel at first. In reality, he’s another fucking pedophilic pervert who’s somehow worse than the hormone addled Yosuke AND allowed to have a deeper connection to the fucking CHILD he hit on.
If I were to fix him, I’d want Teddie to actually be that innocent and naive person who’s completely clueless to social situations.
First off, his SL is fucking trash. Why is every single rank up dependent mostly on what the investigation team’s doing? You can just call his link “Investigation Team 2” or hell, fucking 1.5, because it’s literally just spaced BETWEEN the ranks of the actual investigation team SL. His SL needed to be quiet one on one moments with the protagonist, updating him on all the new things he’s learned ever since coming to the real world and adapting to it. You could BE the sensei he keeps calling you. He’d come to you on advice on how things really are, admiring you for your leadership and guidance. He’d open up about how out of place he’s felt since becoming a part of the team and how his lack of memories frustrates him.
And you know what that’d make him?
Childlike.
Teddie should’ve been legitimately more childlike. In wonder, in discovery, and in social situations. And THAT would honestly make his relationship with Nanako much more warranted, AND much sweeter too! They’d both essentially the same; with Teddie being the one that Nanako could lead with her own experiences. Nanako would have a friend who thinks just as childishly and innocently as she does, with Teddie having a genuine friendship with her. Not that his relationship with you isn’t, but you’re more his mentor and superior that he respects. Nanako would be the friend at an equal level.
But alas, instead we have Persona’s own Pedobear. What a joke.

P4 has the worst cast, at least between 4 and 5 (not played 3 yet) hands down. It’s not even close. Half the cast is annoying as hell, two of them have weirdly contradicting characterization, Teddie literally hit on Nanako which makes the connection the story tried to give them feel really awkward and uncomfortable as hell, and bad tropes stacking up noticeably feels way worse (particularly the ‘girl atrocious at cooking’ at 3 girls, and ‘horny pervert’ trope at 2 of the guys, Teddie being the worse between him and Yosuke). And it’s only made worse with the shitty slapstick humor. I HATE mean spirited slapstick. That takes all the fun away out of the slapstick in the first place.
The only pure good characters are Kanji and Naoto. They’re fun, lovable, and have flaws that do not irritate and actually endear. Everyone else, varying degrees of enjoyment. I’d explain in detail but I’d need time.
If I had to rank it real quick,
S - Naoto, Kanji
A - Yosuke
B - Chie
C - Rise
F - Yukiko, Teddie

Nahyuta Sahdmadhi is the worst prosecutor of the AA series, bar none. (Spoiler warning for like, all of Spirit of Justice)
I’ll die on the hill that Nahyuta is the worst written prosecutor in the history of the series.
He’s such a sanctimonious twat with none of the humor or intrigue that every other prosecutor had that made them good characters. All of his gimmicks are just reminiscent of a stick-up-the-ass cunt who thinks he’s holier-than-thou 24/7/365.
During the rare moment he’s being genuinely funny is whenever he takes his stoic monk thing to the extreme. It’s just a damn shame that there are only 2 major instances of that happening; when he admits to waiting for hours for a burger, and when he acts out an entire rakugo bit and offered to act even more. Had he been less of a sanctimonious dickhead and a second reason, he would’ve been serviceable as a prosecutor. Not even his slapstick is funny, because again, it’s all framed as serious sanctimoniousness. It’s not actually goofy or over the top as shit. The closest thing to over the top we get is him describing the ridiculous as shit “hells” that their religion has. And even then, it’s done with so much spite and seriousness that it just ends up feeling like you’re dealing with a goddamn puritan.
But the biggest contributing factor to why he’s genuinely the worst thing about Spirit of Justice (which is an achievement considering what else is in it, not to say it’s a bad game though) is that he was given the WORST attempt at redemption I’ve ever seen.
I would’ve said that even the attempt at redemption would’ve soured my feelings about him even further, but there actually WAS a way to properly redeem the idiot.
But he was just FLOPPED. The ONLY indication that he was a redeemable character was that Durke quite LITERALLY spelled it out that apparently Nahyuta was “huwting own da inside uwu”.
GEE, THANKS, GAME. WAY TO HAVE SO LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN YOUR AUDIENCE OVER A REDEMPTION ARC THAT IN LIEU OF ACTUAL HINTS OF REDEEMING BEHAVIOR, YOU HAVE A CHARACTER JUST SAY THAT HE’S ACTUALLY A GOOD GUY DEEP DOWN DESPITE HIM BEING A TURBO CUNT.
Throughout the ENTIRE game, there was literally zero indication of Nayhuta being a decent person whatsoever, even tiny hints.
He:
- swore that Apollo and Trucy would go to hell at the point in the second trial when she was OBVIOUSLY innocent
- seemed to be GENUINELY confused at Tahrust’s nudging at his motivations for his crime (being that he did all of the third trial’s crimes purely because of how the DC act would have screwed over him and his wife)
- held a PERSONAL grudge on Phoenix and took it out on Athena because of Phoenix’s win in trial 3
- never dropped his sanctimonious BS throughout the entirety of the game until the end
And there is no explaining this shit away with “Oh, he was kept under watch by Garan to make sure he’s not a rebel!”
WELL THEN MAYBE THE WRITERS SHOULD ACTUALLY SHOW PROOF OF THAT HAPPENING INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING “OH YEAH IT’S TOTALLY HAPPENING”.
So what was that way you properly redeem the stupid twink?
VISUALIZE THE REGIME’S CHOKEHOLD ON HIM THAT MAKES HIM ACT LIKE HE’S GOT A GIGANTIC STICK UP HIM.
Fucking replace Ema as the detective. She’s cool and all, but she actually just had no place in the game except to be Nahyuta’s punching bag (dickhead). Make the detective a fucking Khura’inese detective who acts as a mediator between the uptight Nahyuta. Let’s name him, I dunno, Dih’ku Tectiv. Fuck it.
And he’s friendly and tries to reign him in, reminding him to respect foreign customs. But whenever the detective’s not around, Nahyuta’s less of a dick and actually acts normal and peaceable.
Maybe he’s glad to see Apollo again, maybe he respects Phoenix’s skill as a lawyer, maybe he tries to mentor Athena a bit?
But as soon as detective comes back, Nahyuta’s back to swearing hells and shit.
And the twist can be that the detective was actually Ga’ran’s way of monitoring Nahyuta, even abroad, which can explain why he’s still a fucking uptight cunt outside of his country; a country that, may I remind you, had no idea that his foreign trials did not have Dances of Devotion. If such a glaring detail never made it back to those backwater hicks, they wouldn’t have noticed Nahyuta being less of a cunt in a foreign court room.
I hate Nahyuta so goddamn much. He’s so shit, and the entire Kingdom of Khura’in is filled with bloodthirsty psychopathic genocide supporters, and no one in-universe gives a flying fuck.

This is your sign to please experience the webcomic Prequel, or Making a Cat Cry: The Adventure.
Mae Borowski and Katia Managan are literally the same character
both cats
both primarily incompetent despite having some skills
both troubled by mental illnesses
not a similarity, but a mirroring: they begin their stories in opposite places; Mae begins by coming back home after having left the outside world, Katia begins after moving away from home to the outside world
both are seemingly haunted by eldritch beings related to the trauma they experienced that caused the beginning of their stories (Mae coming back home due to not being able to cope with outside society/Katia fleeing from home due to her fear of royalty)
Tumblr media
AND I FUCKING LOVE BOTH OF THEM.

WARNING: REALLY STUPID IDEAS ABOUT POKÉMON
Random Pokémon lore game idea rant (ignore ZA for the sake of it, I’m just ranting to get the idea out of my head)
Spoilers for Legends Arceus
The Legends game series is where the protagonist is sent to different pasts in Pokémon history by Arceus to protect against some temporal/worldly threat (Volo being the threat of Legends: Arceus). The protagonist is chosen to be the protagonist of the Diamond and Pearl games, Dawn/Lucas.
Two potential additional incidents:
Legends: The Original/First Dragon - The Unova region is beset by the rise of a cult led by a one eyed leader with 8 advisors based on the future gym leaders (ancestors). Anti-Pokémon sentiment is much worse than in Hisui, actively believing them to be demonic or a plague. The protagonist is sent to break up the cult to prevent an apocalyptic event that they’re attempting to start.
Legends: AZ - The protagonist is sent to the Kalos region during the war that took AZ’s Floette. Initially, it is believed that the war was the threat to be stopped, but it gets revealed that the true threat was the fact that AZ initially didn’t want to activate the ultimate weapon. The weapon is then inadvertently activated by the protagonist (through unintentionally convincing AZ of going through with his original plan of revenge by other means) and they are completely prevented from attempting to stop it by Arceus. The flow of history requires the tragedy of the ultimate weapon coming to life, and the protagonist is forced to watch it happen before them.
Present day game:
A present day Pokémon game where the Arceus is the centerpiece of the plot.
The villain team is a team led by Volo, given immortality from his devotion to Arceus, and is essentially leading a fanatic cult over the fact. He is practically delusional after centuries of life and seeks to guide everyone down the path of Arceus’ will and crush those who oppose.
The champion is the Legends protagonist, also given immortality as a “gift” by Arceus for helping with so many temporal threats, in addition to the gift of foresight, which essentially lets them see the flow of Arceus’ will. They know what’s meant to happen to every person and Pokémon, and cannot change it.
After defeating Volo and his cult, the true endgame plot is revealed to be the Legends protagonist, who had been trying to create a machine in the same vein as the ultimate weapon, except instead of being a weapon against others, it’s a weapon against Arceus specifically. Drawing on the life force of Legendary Pokémon instead of normal ones, it’s sole purpose is to destroy Arceus and free humanity and Pokémonkind from his will and set-in-stone fates.
The protagonist is additionally joined by another Legendary Pokémon that was meant to be a steward of Arceus’ will, the same way other legendaries are stewards for different cosmic things like life, death, time, space, etc. Essentially, if it were in the Pokédex, it’d be the Fate Pokemon. As someone who essentially watched over life, humans and Pokémon in particular more closely than every other Legendary, they’ve grown to love them like children and disagrees with how they’re forced to live cruel fates. That’s not even mentioning those lives that were never meant to be, essentially removed from reality itself (think beta designs).
Whatever the sentiment, the champion has to be defeated and their plan foiled, saving Arceus in the process. This would be the last straw, as the champion, having the gift of foresight, already knew that they were always meant to lose (to the player), but still tried to fight their fate to the last. Being defeated, they accept the fate they knew they had in store for them, and ends up dead.
From here however, there’s one true choice. Trust Arceus, or the champion’s vision.
Trusting Arceus means hunting down the champion’s partner legendary, who is attempting to shepherd those lost to history into a world where Arceus cannot erase them, and forms a last stand against you. Winning erases the legendary from history as they’re replaced with the same legendary, but with none of the dissenting feelings, like they were replaced with a perfect obedient clone.
Trusting in the champion means challenging Arceus to show that mortals deserve a chance at fates they carve themselves. Winning essentially forces the completely neutral Arceus to understand that perhaps he had been too much of a passive observer to his creation and allows them the freedom of fate that they want. However, his will can always be reinforced, should enough people wish for it.
Idk, this is probably super edgy and stupid but I’ve had this idea since I was a kid so whatever.

(CW: Talks of abuse) Pokémon do NOT experience animal abuse.
Animal abuse is a crime predicated on the idea that you are abusing a being lower than humans.
In just about every piece of Pokémon media, Pokémon are shown to at the very least, be on the level of consciousness and intelligence as any other human being. You can see them having emotions and rational thought, completely understanding human speech even if they can’t recreate it (though I’m of the mind that if someone just took the time to teach them, there’d be a heck of a lot more talking Pokémon about). Plus, Pokémon more than likely getting into battles to the death in the wild cause, surprise, they exist in a system of predators and prey, with many Pokémon being said to be the prey/predator of another. There are Pokémon that even are noted as liking and wanting to battle. With the powers they have, they absolutely would not willingly allow themselves to be abused.
No, actually abusing Pokémon is more akin to domestic violence. Think of Pokémon hatched from an egg to an abusive trainer; they don’t have a frame of reference of their power against their trainer and would absolutely stay under their grip, the same way a child would be born to abusive parents and are conditioned think that the abuse they experience is normal.
It is NOT abuse for Pokémon to accept a person as a trainer and to participate in battles that mimic the kind of fights they’re naturally inclined to have in the wild, without the threat of death or starvation to worry about. If you’re going to be mad at Pokémon abuse, get mad at the jackasses who steal Pokémon. That’s KIDNAPPING. And yes, that includes the PETA substitute themselves, Team Plasma. Imagine, in the real world, stealing people’s pets because them being domesticated is “animal abuse”, WHILE USING THOSE SAME PETS TO ATTACK OTHER PEOPLE.
