Poké Wars: Difference between revisions

{{quote|"''I think back on those peaceful days we took for granted. When our genocide wasn't even conceivable, when killing a Pokémon was crazy, when a simple Ember didn't end in 3rd degree burns, and when I didn't worry about whether I would live to see morning.''"|Intro blurb for ''The Subsistence''}}

* [[Dying as Yourself]] - {{spoiler|Harley's Ariados}} gets consumed by bloodlust but when he does a [[Heroic Sacrifice]], he reverts to {{spoiler|Ariados that Harley}} loved.

* [[Earth Is a Battlefield]] - [[Pokémon Red and Blue|Kanto]], [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Johto]], [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Hoenn]], [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Sinnoh]], [[Pokémon Colosseum|Orre]], [[Pokémon Ranger|Fiore, Oblivia, Almia]], and [[Pokémon Black and White|Unova]] have all become war torn [[Crapsack World|hell holes]].

* [[Emotions vs. Stoicism]]: On Lugia's side, we have Mesprit, the living incarnation of emotions that is clearly shown suffering after seeing the atrocities of the war-torn world. On Ho-oh's side, we have Uxie, who sees emotions as a distraction in the way of his experiments.

* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Subverted. Ho-oh is at first horrified at the concept of {{spoiler|wiping out the entire species of Grimer and Muk}}. He only goes along with it after hearing Uxie's reasoning, justifying it to himself with the rationale of {{spoiler|those Pokémon being by-products of humanity and therefore an extension of humans}}.

* [[Razor Floss]] - Ariados silk can take this form.

* [[Razor Wind]] - Aside from the standard Razor Wind and Air Cutter attacks from the Pokémon canon, Samurai eventually gains the ability to swing his katana with such force that he can generate a blade of air.

* [[The Resenter]]: Shadow Lugia is very much this towards the original, and Ho-oh goads Kyogre into being this towards Manaphy.

* [[Resurrective Immortality]]: Ho-oh has been thrown into a mountain and had his limbs and head torn apart, and come back none the worse for wear. According to Uxie, only a legendary is able to have this ability - if a normal Pokémon had it, they'd fall under [[Born-Again Immortality]].

** [[The Hyena|Banette's]] [[The Dark Knight|"Awww, why so serious?"]] taunt to the Golem.

* [[Shown Their Work]] - Cornova ''really'' knows the ins and outs of nearly every detail about the Pokémon anime universe.

* [[Smug Snake]] - Ho-oh can be this at times.

* [[Start of Darkness]] - ''Lugia's Wish'' explains why Lugia's brother is so pissed with him.

* [[You Shall Not Pass]]: Cacturne accepts that this could be his way to go when he faces off against the pack of Ursaring. {{spoiler|Fortunately, he survives.}}
