But I'm half black & half white. WHICH ONE WILL I CHOOSE? I MIGHT HAVE TO GET BOTH ON SHEER PRINCIPAL ALONE!
No, Blues. THE TIME HAS COME! "One drop" principle states that the choice is CLEAR for you, my brutha!
Any way, interesting that they went straight monochrome this time. I wonder if that was for an actual reason, and not just cuz they didn't have any better picks for colors/basic elements. Could this going back to such basic colors mean some thing more...?
For example, one thing I've always thought was interesting was how there's been a thing of how the games told snippets of what the world was like back in the olden days of man and mon. In HG/SS, they even went forth to tell you that Apricots used to be the way they got [parasitic bomb] done when they wanted to catch some Mons. So, I'm wondering...maybe instead of just going to a new region, this time, maybe they could throw us for a loop and into the context of an older era, itself. One where we have to use the Apricots, and get access to a slew of Pokemon that would otherwise be possibly extinct in the "modern" era.
If nothing else, it could be an opportunity for a nice change, storyline and aesthetic-wise, even as a number of things still remain the same. (Re: instead of "gyms", it could be "dojos" dedicated to a certain type of Pokemon instead.
)
Not to mention Celebi being at least ONE Pokemon that can time travel would always leave the opportunity for these types of shenanigans to take place in the first place...
