I get the feeling I'll regret saying this... Oh well!

yes cordon bleu is a hot food

I'll take your word for it!

I have a feeling that was the main idea behind his character. I hate him and I need to constantly mention why, so here's a warning for the negativity below. He's perfectly engineered to be popular and it worked, with special thanks to how the story tries to make you like him even though he stinks, but it makes him annoying because he barely feels like an actual character because of that (also, I think him being so important in the DLC is because they made him to be liked. A DLC that prominently features a popular character will sell better, even if it's ridiculously overpriced for something that would normally barely count as post-game, and him being so important even though the DLC was finished before the game released hints at something, something not good given it's a generic slightly small post-game bloated with grind to seem longer being sold seperately for half the (post-gameless) game that was marketed and priced as a full game's price. I'm normally not this big of a pessimist but there's no explanation that isn't greedy). I think my least favourite moment is probably him making fun of the rival for having loaned money from him. The rival, who couldn't read the part about interest because it was so comically small and has a variety of issues that led taking the loan to happening. He also called us and Lida before calling the rival about the interest because why not involve unrelated people into this and horribly embarass the rival for essentially no reason. Nothing is stopping him from actually talking to the person who fell for it. The fault is all on him for being a bad person exploiting innocent people unaware of the possibility, him letting people pay it off with volunteer work doesn't make it better, and every time I see someone joking about the rival going into debt I lose faith in humanity. It may be a joke but it feels malicious considering it shifts the blame from the bad person to the affected person without a hint of irony, and I hate the game joining in on the joke in the DLC. Also, the whole "secretly a good person" thing isn't only ruined by the debt thing, it's also ruined by the sheer amount of unneccessarily super-expensive things in the base. He does not need all of that and it contradicts his whole "forcing people to do volunteer work for Lumiose's sake" thing. I have no problem with hypocritical characters but it's handled pretty poorly if that's the case. Anyways, sorry for turning this into a rant about Corbeau. He's the worst character in all of Pokémon and I'd go back in time and make Legends Z-A not happen, making everyone go through four years of nothing, just to make sure he doesn't exist. I blame all of this on him being made for popularity by the writers (and the horribly awkward writing of the Floette scene making people search for reasons to insult the rival over "stealing" Floette, but mostly Corbeau being poorly written. The way he's written feels horribly, horribly off, forced, and money-grabby, especially since TPC/GF are corporations and Z-A is a complete mess, especially if we mention the paid grinding simulator post-game DLC).

Again, sorry for making a random Corbeau rant, sorry for the amount of negativity in it, and sorry for making it this long on an activity page. Also I haven't played Z-A since I got annoyed by the DLC's grind and the only thing I went to check was the presence of the debt joke in the DLC, so I'll gladly accept and admit I made a mistake and might be overhating him for being just a normal amount of bad if I misremembered something.

Maybe I regret making that as an activity comment. That's a lot of text and I don't know how I wrote it so easily. I completely understand if you delete the comment so you can scroll normally and I apologise for making it. I don't regret hating Corbeau, though.

No, you said that all perfectly. I don't like Corbeau as a character. Like, I hate him. Now, though, I do have to say that I enjoyed the jokes about Urbain accepting the loan. You're right, it's not his fault, but it humors me. I never did think about the fact that it takes the blame off Corbeau, the one that tricked Urbain with nearly impossible to read print. I still haven't finished the DLC, but I was dying when I got to the joke. The last thing I did was put in my Z-A post. I've actually been considering making a new review now that it's been a few months. My opinion has changed a lot since when I first played it. You know, there was something you once said that made me really realized just how much they try to popularize Corbeau. He's the one doing all the computer work even though there is no reason that he would do the computer stuff. Paraphrasing your words, Canari makes more sense to have been doing that than he does, but they want us to love him soooo much that it had to be him. But that's what I was saying about him being a failed character. You cannot tell me that they had completely different plans for him but a few months from release someone said "No, make him a random plot twist good guy" like there wasn't already enough pointless plot twists! Anyways, I'm leaving everything you said there because you spoke pure truth.

It's not even just them wanting us to like him. They tried and it worked well. They put him in the DLC because they knew it would work, because they knew people would get attached to him, because they specifically designed and wrote him to be the most forced fan-favourite from the start and did it so those fans would have more reason to buy and play the 30$ post-game DLC. There's a reason he was the only non-MZ/Quasartico character announced before the game released, and it was because it'd make him more popular. Honestly, I'd be fine with it all if he was less obviously made with nothing but greed and more of a well-written character.

Yes. A well-written character. That's what I feel like Z-A's biggest flaw was. The only character that didn't feel flat was the rival. Everyone else was basic with zero depth.

Genuine question so please take it seriously

Not at all. You're cool, which I think is the opposite of annoying.

That just made me smile

I read expecting simple yes or nos, so thank you

No!
Heck no!
You are not annoying why would you ask that?!
I always thought at first I was annoying!
UZ, you said it better than anyone couldve!

Well, I don't really know. My head was just saying I was and I wanted to make sure if it was right or not

your not annoying in the slightest

Okay, good.

did you know that ditto is ubiquitous 🤯 (i definitaly didnt sugjest that word so i could say it)

Lol

Hmmmmmm...
Hmmmmmm...
Hmmmmmm...
Yep guys I learned something again!
Nice suggest Fineas!
Hades you make it make sense to everyone!

I'm glad! I try hard to make sure it makes sense but I'm not always sure I succeed.

Cool word and very good explanation. (I have heard this word before, I just don't use it on my common everyday language/speak... Hmmm would that mean that for me, ubiquitous is not part of my ubiquitous speech? (I totally didn't use that right lol).

Eh. I'm not 100% sure how to use it in a sentence. It's a weird word to use…

have you ever thought of creating your own word

@clasingla that is a brilliant idea!

OMG!!! You now have over 700 disagrees!!!

Daaang

The mass disagreeer is hitting you hard!
Me looking at my disssagres to see if they have gone up

The insanity! It humors me!

Does any else find it funny that 'Ubiquitous' means common but is, like, the least common word ever…?

Yes. Kind of ironic, I think

I miss “insert something here”

mochi mochi mochi

Ah that's a good one too!

ooooo the mochi post!!! i should revive it 😏

🥺

why

I've got a few minutes. Sister field trip to a museum

Have fun!!!! (I like museums)

Sad music begins for like the a millionth time this week

Lol, @PokeMom244

I'm back!

Did you have a good time?

Indeed I did!

Yay!

what type of museum art, dinosaurs, ancient mythology, ect

Science

I love science museums!

Just a bit more review. The sentences were definitely too choppy and emotions could have been delivered better. Plus, my word choices needed a lot of work. I think my word choice has definitely improved over the years!

Could you rewrite and publish it?

That's what I'm thinking of doing! I do need to change the description of two characters for legal reasons, though. I described the Captain as "Waluigi from Super Mario and Dr. Doofenshmirtz from Phineas and Ferb combined but toothless" and the male banker as having "a Scrooge McDuck accent" I don't want to go through the legal system for three character names when I can easily change it. It humored me, though!

Oh yeah do what Dragonfly102024 said!

I plan to!

😃👍

It sound very cool ya know

Why thank you!

I read my old writing and laugh for two reasons- one, I used to funnier, and two, my comedy is… really ridiculous.

I bet it was fun, though!

I recently looked back at my writing from two years ago and I definitely improved

Did you enjoy reading it, though?

a bit tho I kind of cringe at my old writing it was interesting to see how I improved

YES!!! That's exactly how I felt! Ot was a mix of awful humor and painful cringe

cringe?

I would make that the next word of the week, but I don't know how to explain it. It's just a word that you have to know through context.

when something want to make you go like

:( C
