Correct. Like Geodude, the moon landings are fake.

Rumors that the moon-landing was fake is a rumor spread by the government to distract from the real truth that the first creature to land on the moon was Lassie, the dog.

And the Russian word for Lassie... is "Laika." My god. Step aside, Deus Ex thread, because we're unraveling the conspiracies.

In Pokemon Red you are offered many dialogue choices, and can either pick Paragon (good) or Renegade (bad) options. Don't worry, even though I'm Paragon I'll still let everyone vote for the ending.

Like it even matters, the only difference is the color of the explosion.

Only if you don't have high enough Paragon or Renegade to get him to shoot himself in the head body sphere-torso. Speaking of which, Renegade is clearly a Red-typed word and playing through Pokemon Red as a Blue-typed Paragon is ruining my immersion and headcanon at the same time.

e: Oh, and if the naming is still open: Greg Page for the Jigglypuff and Winning is Everything for the rock.

(Hopefully nobody suggests naming it Rock Knight.)

Update 7 - Operator, Connect Me To Murder!



There’s a million stories in Cerulean City. This is just one of them. My name’s Luigi. I’m a private eye. It doesn’t pay the bills, but it keeps me in booze and my partner Weed Goku in Pokesnacks.



I’d been tracking down the mysterious organization known as the Elite Four, hoping to get to them before Digimon could buy his way to the top… or worse. Now I was dead broke in the big city and even Team Rocket couldn’t help me out of this one.



I knew the dame was trouble as soon as she walked in. She had gams for miles and a shorts-and-suspenders combo designed to show them off. Shorts. I knew about shorts. They were comfy and easy to wear. It was clear that she knew how to use them.



“The name’s Misty,” she said. “Misty LaRue.” The head of the Cerulean Gym. But what did she want with a flatfoot like me? “I’ve got caught up in something big. Bigger than both of us. And I need your help. This goes all the way to the top.”



“I need you to track down my late husband’s will. Without it, Cerulean City could be taken over… by Team Rocket!” “Woah, slow down lady, you’re talking crazy,” I said. “Weeeeeeeed,” said Weed Goku. “Team Rocket are the good guys. They defend us!” “Their leader, Giovanni… he’s not who you think! Please! You’ve gotta help me!” Well, how could I say know to a dame like that? I told her I’d poke around a little, see what I could find out.



The first stop was the Poke Mart. The owner, Mr. Chen, knew me. I always bought my cigarettes there. “Hey Chen,” I asked, “You seen anything?” “No.” He hadn’t seen anything. That’s when I got jumped by a coupla toughs.



I knew the Jr. Trainer from the Boulder Gym. Bastard had tried to hit me in the head with a loving rock, but Weed Goku knocked it aside just in time. Brock was too dumb to have organized a caper like this, I knew that much. This must have been personal. The Jr. Trainer had always had it in for me.



He pulled a Goldeen, and the drat thing just started screaming. I couldn’t see straight. Couldn’t think. Good thing Weed Goku was there. He took one look at that fish and had it dead on the ground. Too bad for Jr. Trainer.



The Swimmer was new, must have been a hired goon fresh out of the water. I could still see the seaweed on him. Tried to gang up on us with a seahorse and a shellfish, but Weed Goku wasn’t about to let that happen.



I knew it had been an ambush. Somebody must have known I’d be there. But who? Only one answer. Misty LaRue. She must have set the whole thing up. Knew I was after her Cascade Badge so she decided to get me out of the way. I took a drink for courage and headed out to confront her.



But I was too late. Somebody must have been afraid that she’d talk, so they’d shut her up but good. They hadn’t been after the badge, so I grabbed it and slipped it into my pocket. Now it was time to—



--Wait. I had the Cascade Badge. I was done here. Thank god. Time to never see this stupid city again. Let’s go, Weed Goku.

: Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed.

Wait, so if you actually solved the crime she just ends up dead? I continued the team rocket trail and ended up with a dead end and the entire back alley cornered off by the cerulean police force.

I then had to break into the police department, sneak through the air-ducts and steal the evidence which was the badge back. And the CPD is loving bullshit.

This is an early-2000s Nintendo game, so technically she's just KO'd. You don't get anything for reviving her though.

If you select 'Lie' rather than 'Doubt' in the Misty interview she actually confesses the scheme to you. It doesn't change anything though, you still have to walk into the ambush to progress the game, and she dies anyway.

Through use of the fairly common "perma-battle" glitch, it is possible to attack Misty the first time you see her. This allows you to grab the badge and skip most of the Cerulean stuff.
It does kinda mess up some plot points later in the game, though.

If you download the DLC, you can see that there might be an offshoot of Rocket that is up to no good but most people didn't due to the Game Boy having literally no way to connect to the internet.

What time of the day did you go there? The advanced AI system in Pokemon means that he may have been shopping, or perhaps standing around his home doing nothing.
