notice how there are a lot of badass old men around in fiction, but not nearly as many badass old ladies?
Well, Agatha's here to change that. This old biddy runs Ghost types as if there were more than 3 ghosts in all of Kanto, and wears a look of supreme smugness on her face that could curdle milk.
Bitch has been kicking ass with Pokemon since before your were born, and she's not going to humor your sorry behind one single bit. That cane probably has the thigh bones of her former husband in it, too. She looks like a widow who took over a vast fortune to me.
I really like the idea of Agatha, as well as the small niche she inhabits. And I see nothing wrong with her simple pioneer-style elegance. Keep on keeping on, Granny! just don't rap my knuckles with a wooden spoon again.
Overall: 8/10
Umm... Bruno?
ReplyDeleteShouldn't her theme be poison types? Her arbok doesn't even have a ghost type move.
ReplyDeleteShe was more poison type seeing that Gengar and Haunter were poison type. Good thing you can rebattle her in FRLG where she got show off her ghostly ways.
ReplyDeleteAgatha is pretty cool as in she was one of the few people who knew Prof. Oak when he was a young and powerful trainer.
She still didn't have a ghost move for arbok. She could have at least used breeding to give arbok spite. It would have made her even more badass as it means that she raised it from level 1
Deletedude check out these abominations

i really want a comment about them from you
I'm actually not as opposed to these as you might think. I'm more in the camp of "this is pointless why are we doing this" rather than "screw this bullshit"
Deletebut all in good time. I wonder how they'll figure into the pokedex, because that'll determine when I get around to reviewing them...
Agahte, Agatha same thingg honestly
ReplyDelete...she is actually Oaks rival.

Its vaguelly implied in the games, but I am sure its canon that Oak was always better than her.
