Bonafide and Certified.
Part of the dynamic of Poke’m One was the “statist” Belle and the “voluntarist” Misty and their VERY differing views on the Poke’m critters. Misty is trying to find one to voluntarily become her monster while Belle… believes everyone should do what SHE wants them regardless of their own motivations. But, it also illustrates some of the gnawing issues I had with the whole Pokemon game and story. One, all the players seemed to be “I’m going to be the GREATEST Pokemon trainer EVER!” Really? And if not are you going to commit suicide? What’s wrong with just being your best, or enjoying the path? And two, it REALLY seems like slavery. “NO, no, the Pokemon WANT to be told and forced to fight by their trainers.” Yep, I’m sure Calvin Candie said that a lot. 😛
Comic Dialogue
(If you have Wii Gloves for you wee little fingers it’s also electronic Braille.)
Misty Mayhem: “We’re looking for a Poke’m monster fucker.”
Belle Flower: “And I will be the greatest monster fucker ever!!”
Lobo the Frog: “Good for you, little psycho girl…”
Gaga Godiva: “I’ve never heard of this before.”
Misty Mayhem: “They find little Poke’m critters, enslave them with one of these balls and force them to fuck for their amusement…”
Belle Flower: “That’s… That’s not the way it works at all!!”
Libby Belle: “None of us have ever messed with these poke’m monsters.”
Misty Mayhem: “Oh really? And how is this system different?”
Belle Flower: “LOOK! We found this poke’m ball and someone has already claimed it! If it isn’t one of you, then who else around here could it have belonged to?”
Gaga Godiva: “Is THAT the ball you were talking about earlier?”
Lobo the Frog: “It’s A ball, I didn’t do anything with it though.”
Foxling pwoofs out of the ball: “!?!”
Belle Flower: “Here. See if you can release it, only the owner can do that.”
Lobo the Frog: “How the Hael do I do that?”
Belle Flower: “Press the button, moron!”
Lobo the Frog: “Hey! It’s the foxling!”
Gaga Godiva: “It’s official. He’s a monster fucker.”
Helga: “Bonafide and certified…”
Lobo the Frog: “How ya doing, girl? Did you miss us?”
