Yeah, I see no reason why you couldn't take Lavaridge.

However, if we are going by the Akira-verse, here are some gyms I see available...

Kanto
Pewter
Saffron
Viridian
??Cinnabar?? (Have to ask Wily)

Johto
??Goldenrod?? (Have to ask Sky)

Hoenn
I'd say pretty much all of Hoenn is questionable or possibly up for grabs, with certain gyms depending on certain people

Sinnoh
Same as above

-Inconsistent names everywhere. They can't even stick to their own stuff.
-The existence of Monsteropolis; that multi faceted land of robot-like humanoids.
-Roll going completely unmentioned and unnamed until MM3/MM4, and even then there are those sources considering her either a new character, or not a robot at all.
-Exclusion of a LOT of facts that were originally written in the manuals.
-Plasma Cannon versus a Rock Buster with Solar Bullets, in fact, MM4 made it sound like the Mega Buster was introduced in 4; it was only upgraded in 4.
-Time Skimmer, Chronos Institute, 37 something years into the future.

-Altered the game instead of properly translating them (X2, X3, X5, MM7, PU, ZERO, Legends, EXE4+.). Resulting in Serges' character being butchered, Vile being killed years ago while it wasn't nearly that long and Vile haunting X in his dreams while he should actually be reviving again and again, Wily being a comrade of X's, Rock being more than a robot when he isn't, ProtoMan outright exclaiming Light is his father when he wants nothing to do with Light, Rock being called "Blue Bomber" instead of "Original" by his copy, everybody making too many puns in an already overly cutesy game. A hand held gun being the Z-buster; rectified in Z-collection. Confusing what a Decoy is by naming them Carbons and somehow introducing yet another name; Betas. Confusing the mankind playback plan with what Juno was doing. Changing the origin of Rock Voulnutt's name. "What a fine young man she is.", abbreviating terms like crazy and cutting out a lot of content.

-The Reploid War lasting centuries while we're still in the same century (21XX)
-Zero acting weird to an anti-virus while he only acts weird to the virus itself.
-Exclusion of X's in-depth schematics and Right's deeper warning about worrying.
-Nearly all dates in Cain's Journal being off, two journal dates being unified as one, and there being stuff about Zero in the Sigma rebellion date.

-Lab accident before the unveiling of the first six robots in which one robots goes array and sets the lab on fire. An enraged Wily accusing Light of jealousy and intentionally sabotaging the experiment; which leads to Wily stealing the plans of the industrial robots and disappearing for several months.
-Rock being a courageous male human wearing a robot shell so that Wily cannot reprogram MegaMan.
-Rush transformations having impossible specs. No way Rush Marine can move that fast!
-Zero being X's trusted robocanine that died in X1. Aaarf, he wants one!

And I probably forgot a LOT of things.

Wow, that sure is a lot of details, facts, and other things left out, mistranslated, or otherwise just done differently from the Japanese version.

READ WHILE LISTENING TO THIS!

As the clock struck 1AM in Vermillion City, Lt. PB was busy training both his Pokemon and his underlings in the shocking, dazzling, and egolectrical art of Electric Pokemon usage.  His gym lowlies perhaps resented the fact that he would make them train at this time of night, but Lt. PB has told them time and time again that Electric Pokemon training was all about style, dazzle, and pizazzle which was best viewed at night like the most sexually violent of lightning storm. Lt. PB stroked his prized yellow scarf wearing Jolteon, Pizazzle Bolt, while his mighty green beret wearing Pachirisu, Private Electricia, battled with his student's Luxray.

"UN-AC-CEPTABLE!' Lt. PB said as Private Electricia easily disposed with the Luxray. "TEN HUT! Listen Timmy, your Luxray may have strength, but it doesn't possess the electric magnetism & sheer glory that all Electric Pokemon possess. Take Private Electricia here. When I caught her, she was timid, shy and unsure of her place in this great world of ours.  But now look at her.  LOOK TIMMY!  LOOK!  Dazzling, open, and electrifyingly stern in her belief that not only is she the best Electric Pokemon in the world, but that even the likes of the legendary Zapdos ain't got nothing on her!  This is what I teach here at the Vermillion City Gym, and it is a lesson we will stay up learning till the sun rises in honor of Electric Pokemon GLORY!  IS THAT CLEAR, SOLDIER?"

"SIR, YES SIR!" said the determined young Timmy!

"HAHAHAHAHA. SEXCELLENT!  Now DROP AND GIVE ME FIFTY" proclaimed Lt. PB as he went to check on how his other students were doing.

(This is not the beginning of this story. Just a fun display at how Lt. PB trains his Electric Pokemon.....

.......Bitches!  )

Well first things first I'm gonna have to draw up the character sheet...the team sheet should be pretty self explanitory. I'll get that done sometimes this week when I'm not too busy with work.

Do it while listening to this!

Megaman and crew being robot like "Humanoids"/Cyborgs,

Megaman's early box art,

Wily being Light's assistant just prior to Megaman 1,

Megaman knowing about Protoman being his brother

Almost all of Megaman 7, Including the added "Die wily"

Zero's unification "prophesy" and blueprints

Ah

I think Zan Hyper and or Marshy can illustrate more of the localization blunders better than I can.

I hope one of them does, cause this doesn't seem like anything that major...

But see, this is exactly what Im talking about. *points at PB*

Rather than bothering to preserve a continuity made from bad localization, we have to get the real facts to the fans. Because if we start with there being different continuities, it makes the story much more complicated than it has to be.

Again, I hope one of them does give me more information, cause from what you've described, I see little reason why they can't just Macross/Robotech it.

I just think of him as Necko's replacement.

He's absolutely nothing like Neko.

I never said there aren't.  I said that the difference between them is naming and the unavoidable side effects thereof.  The page of factoids that Gonzo linked is creative liberties, not continuity.  There's a difference.  Continuity is to be respected by future projects.

Haha, from what I've seen of most Japanese writing at times, they don't care much about continuity.

In other words, disregarded.  Why?  Because Japanese continuity demands it so.  My point.

Or X can not see MegaMan as a Maverick. Multiple options in terms of writing, especially for something as insanely simple as a video game storyline.

So no matter what they make, it cant be considered an alternate continuity if it does not change ANYTHING other than making the story more convoluted with inconsistencies.

Actually, stuff like that can be fixed with a simple re-write or retcon.  Or, X simply wouldn't find MegaMan to be a Maverick in MM7.  That's simple enough to write.

A rather nondescript response; that can be said of both our mentalities.

.....so then why can't their be two continuities?

Irrelevant.  The purpose of a character does not directly relate to their originality.

LoL. I'm not trying to make some sort of deep profound statement here.  All I'm saying is that his character is useless and serves no purpose in the two Godzilla movies he's in.  If his character is cut out or missing in either movie, it would not be a loss in any way.

His impact is minimal because he is being added to the existing story rather than writing a fully original story.  But my point is, it is still new content, as opposed to translated content.

And my point is that he serves no purpose in either movie.

He provides a unique perspective if nothing else, and in 1985, aptly states in words what the entire Heisei and the better half of Millennium series continually dance around: Godzilla is a force of nature; you do not defeat him, you learn to coexist with him.

1985 also changes the circumstances of the Soviet missile launch.  In the 1984 "Gojira", the launch is accidental.

That's all his character is there for, to tell us a perspective that pretty much ALL fans of Godzilla already know, therefore making his character useless.

Haha, and I know about the changes.  Trust me, the only thing I know more of than Godzilla is Thundercats.
