Playing thru Pokemon FireRed, and I gotta say, Lavender Town is...pretty god damned dark. The whole fucking game is a hell of a lot darker and weirder than I'd expected. I have a new found hatred for Team Rocket, and pull out my Charizard, Burne, whenever I find one of the fuckers and beat their asses like helpless children. I just wish it had a Lost Silver-like option that'd let me feed certain bastards to my Pokemon. Giovanni would be Charizard shit by now.
Also, I named my rival DOUCHE. Yes, in all caps. "This is my grandson, DOUCHE!"
