I think my favourite part of the fuckery that was the TA/TM finale was the fact that they got the orbs around the wrong way
Red Orb = Groudon
Blue Orb = KyogreLIKE
HOW DO YOU EVEN MAKE THAT MISTAKE
That’s how it is in the games though?? except in the games the Orbs don’t work at all
so maybe it IS supposed to be red for Groudon and blue for Kyogre and GAME ARCHIE AND MAXIE ARE JUST THAT FUCKING STUPID AND COULDN’T FIGURE OUT HOW TO MATCH THE COLORS???
DAMMIT NOW I’M LAUGHING
do work (how I’ve said it) in Sapphire and Ruby, and in Emerald the (painfully stupid) Team Leaders have them around the wrong way like in the (PAINFULLY…STUPID…) anime, hence why Groudon and Kyogre start fighting rather than listening to Maxie and Archie in all their hippie glory.
CAN YOU NOW
WRONG ORB DUMBASS
so tl;dr Team Aqua and Magma are the smartest most best teams and I will not hear one word against them
Also, in Pokespe they get the orbs around the right way and can actually control the legendaries, like so:
oh my god i can’t believe i just wrote all that shit about these terrible villains
this is why gen 3 is the very best
all the other teams are genuinely evil AND/OR have really interesting philosophical roots to what they’re trying to do
and then hoenn is like
