>Team Plasma was able to construct a massive fuckoff castle underground right next to the fucking Pokemon league headquarters without anyone noticing
Is this the fabled amazing writing of Gen V?
>>
It's every fucking day with you. Get a job.
>>
>>59232916
That's the one thing I find really stupid. I believe in the manga the castle could move around underground. But that still has problems, wouldn't people be reporting earthquakes or something?
>>
>>59232923
>someone criticized my favorite game
>therefore they must be a particular person I hate
>I’ll tell them to get a job

>>59232916
Team Plasma was a decades old organization. The castle had already been there for years.
>>
>>59232939
That's exactly what anyone with a brain will do.

Now go back to twitter, faggot.
>>
>>59232939
I'm not going to entertain the idea that you made this thread in good faith.
>>
>>59232926
>I believe in the manga the castle could move around underground.
I just assumed that because I'm not fucking stupid.

Manga really doesn't need to show that for me to assume something like that.
>>
>>59232916
Never saw the point in it. Seemed all show no substance. I remember seeing the cutscene in high school and thinking "alright, but why?".
>>
>>59233008
Can’t have a fanfic tier pokemans game without something like that.
>and the super deep antagonists built the worlds biggest castle right next to the most secure place in the region, all in secret!
>>
>>59232926
They'll just blame Dugtrios.

That's BW for you.

Rule of cool.

I think Sword/Shield's story is more your level then

Yawn. Yeah we know.

Please be less obvious.

But that's even worse lmao...

>>59233149
Drilburs and Excadrills, actually.
>>
>>59232916
My headcanon is that it's the refurbished ruins of an old castle that Ghetsis discovered and turned into a base. Then he and the earliest members of Team Plasma did work on it in secret until it was ready. Though how the fuck do they get it to burst out of the ground.
>>
>>59233166
That's Pokémon in general outside of some spinoffs
>>
>>59232916
From Bulbapedia: “According to a Team Plasma Grunt found here, the castle was being secretly built for several years by overworking Pokémon that were taken away from other Trainers”.
>>
>>59232916
Ok but the music slaps
>>
>>59233829
So Pokopia: Plasma Edition? Based.
>>
>>59233829
Impressive. Very nice. Let's see XY's explanation for two different secret labs underneath two different population centers.
>>
>>59233829
>we just built it there for years and no one noticed
>>
>>59233842
What’s the issue with basement hideouts like Lysandre Labs or Rocket Hideout? Sure you could argue the basements are exaggerated in their size but to pretend they’re comparable to Plasma Castle popping out of the ground and dwarfing the league is dishonest.
>>
>>59232916
Ghetsis played too much Paper Mario.
>>
>>59232916
>a massive fuckoff castle
shut up, Nigel.
>>
>>59234043
Its like pokemon with mind altering powers dont exist.
>>
>>59232916
it's called hype moments and aura. you wouldn't get it.
>>
>>59234439
>BW is zoomercore
Explains a lot
>>
>>59232916
I am critical of GenV and I don't have a problem with this. It's obviously just done to be flashy. I find the scene overrated though in part because it just happens for no reason and makes no sense and isn't cool enough to make up for it.

I always assumed it was an existing castle that they resurrected but I guess I was wrong.
>>
>>59232916
Saint Seiya moment
Anyway that's a shitty and ugly deserted mountain place to build a royal palace on considering it's not even a castle and has no defensive purposes. As for the symbolism I guess you can easily drop a few clichè concepts about it, it's fine, the way it pops up from below the ground for no reason at all is a little pointless.

Sounds like a problem to me.

This is the same series that has Team Plasma's Headquaters just in Veilstone city. Off to the side but still.
>>
>>59234964
I assume you mean Team Galactic, but yeah, Team Galactic's role as both an terrorist organization and a respectable renewable energy company is poorly done, which leaves players to question how it can operate as both in broad daylight.
That doesn't make the castle any less insulting though.
>>
>>59232916
Look how skinny it is. That thing is 90% plywood
>>
>>59235008
Yeah I meant Galactic.

>respectable renewable energy company
I have explored those games pretty thoroughly for years and even i didnt know this. Where is this ever elucidated?
>>
>>59232916
I thought the castle was like magic and this happened because a prophecy was fulfilled or something.
>>
>>59234043
It's just like how Oak spent his entire lifetime researching Pokemon but not once EVER thought to conduct research at night time or show love and care to his Pokemon, so species like Houndour, Murkrow, Crobat, Umbreon and Espeon went completely unknown to people until Red becoming champion magically sparked a revolutionary change in how people treat their Pokemon.
>>
>>59235241
In the Veilstone HQ, one of the grunts says that around the entrance.
>>
>>59235378
Thanks Anon!
>>
>>59232916
it's actually an Oopart that has been present in that place for millennia
>>
>>59232916
No that structure always existed and it rose by supernatural means not technology. Plasma is a clan that dates back to centuries ago in Unova not just some evil team.
