my favorite /FAVORITE/ thing abt pokemon blogs is that some people just get specifically attached to one pokemon and rave about them in their tags and like even though ive never been particularly impressed by that pokemon i love seeing other people so passionate about them like okay i see it now yes yes onix is now my rock son as well
reblog this and tag the one pokemon you are specifically attached to
It occurred to me a while ago that the whole reason the ARK is shaped like Gerald’s face isn’t necessarily because of any level of inflated ego, it’s so that when Shadow used it against the Black Arms fifty years later, they would know EXACTLY who sent them to their deaths from beyond the grave.
If everything had gone according to plan (before Maria’s death fucked everything up), the Black Arms would have returned fifty years later expecting Shadow to deliver the Chaos Emeralds so they could take over the planet, only for the ARK to split apart, reveal Gerald’s GIGANTIC face pasted over a fuckup cannon, and immediately blast their entire race into bits.
And also consider what a great big “fuck you” Shadow was from Gerald to GUN fifty years ago. GUN was pressuring him to develop them a being that could be used as a weapon of war, right? Well, come Sonic Battle, we find out that not only did he resist this at every turn, determined for Shadow to only be a medical cure as well as a symbol of hope, but he deliberately designed Shadow to have a personality similar to Maria (meaning nonviolent and caring and kind) so that even if GUN did get their hands on him, he wouldn’t fight for them. Again, his bout of insanity after Maria’s death fucked that up and resulted in him permanently altering Shadow’s personality for purposes of revenge, but the principle still stands.
Like, considering both of those along with his later plan to smash the ARK into Earth as revenge for Maria’s death, I conclude that when you fuck with Gerald, he will fuck you back a thousand times harder without a second goddamn thought.
