No your mom is not loving the delivery guy, lol.

then why say it? really hosed up to do that... you know lying sucks right? do better.

In Gen 2 your MOM stops buying stuff after the Snorlax plush, not that you need money for a huge amount of stuff in game anyway. In the remakes she infinitely buys you type reducing berries, which are a complete pittance, while buying some really nice items like a Choice Scarf or pre-Kanto Moon Stone once.

Feel free to post more insane screeds as you find them, Stux, this series has been on its high horse for too long I say.

alright well... i dont think thats ok to say to me honestly. you realise the historical baggage behind you throwing around terms like "insane" so nonchalantly right? i REALLY thought sa and the internet as a whole had gotten past this sort of casual bigotry because someone DARED to disagree with you by now. guess that teaches me for expecting better.

You’re begging the question, so I might as well ask it.

What the hell happened to you as a kid?
Or
From what corner of the internet did you steal this?

Wasn’t this a plot point of one of the more popular ROM hacks? Your mom turns out to be the regional champion, and she just never tells you.

uh, dont think its ANY of your business what happened in my childhood to be quite honest. we all have our own struggles with our parents and how they oppressed us as kids, so it should be pretty universal. if you dont, well, youre one of the lucky ones i guess. but that doesnt give you the right to lord it over the rest of us and rub it in our faces, so i would kindly ask you to step the gently caress off actually.

Or the FRLG Rocket Edition hack story that you’re a human/Pokémon hybrid created by Oak to be the perfect Pokémon trainer in a bid to regain his position after losing the great Kanto-Johto War. :v:

The one where the protagonist stays at home instead of going off on their own for a long-rear end time.

Maybe Gen 9 since I guess you're technically in school?

Archie's the cool uncle who takes you to the aquarium where he works and lets you tickle the sharks (Shelly only offers a token resistance and Matt's in there with you)

Maxie always has some zany new experiment to try out and this one won't set the ceiling on fire, he promises (Courtney and Tabitha cover for him)

Yeah she talks like that in ORAS
In the original games her thing was laughing maniacally at the beginning of every sentence, kinda funny that they changed her to basically the complete opposite

Nope, closest you get is Lillie and Lusamine for that kind of dynamic. The player character's families are complete non-entities outside of Norman. Hell the only other ones we know anything about beyond 'moved recently' is the X/Y mother being a famous Rhyhorn racer which gets mentioned by a few NPCs and the D/P/P mother showing up in Master Rank contests with her Kangaskhan.

I kind of doubt they'll ever expand upon the player character's family since they're supposed to be a blank slate for the player to inhabit.
