Most of my like for Gloria comes from the internet portraying her as an angry Scottish person

Its been god knows how many years since Below Zero, and Marguerit (as far as we know) never got the vaccine thing from the baby Emperors

Seriously though, its one of my favorite fighting games, and im not a fan of fighting games in general lol

Let's look at it dex wise. A lot of the dexes state how it becomes a Banette from negative emotions that are "transferred" into the doll. As well as a lot of other dexes state how it it being tossed away as a doll makes it come back with a vengeance against its owner. Typically making this mon "evil" to some degree (let's look over Nurse joys banette that 1 episode)

Now let's look at it battle wise (the main reason for this post), Banette...sucks mostly, poor speed, decent atk, bad defenses and HP, kinda stuck with the Hoenn special tbh, mid abilities minus Prankster on its Mega, but it learns a lot of good, useful dark moves that would 100% benefit from them being stab.

(This is going off of SV moveset on Pkm db)

Banette learns, Sucker punch, Knock off, Thief, Foul Play, Dark Pulse, Lash out, and Throat Chop for dark type dmging moves. Thats a decently extensive list of moves for a mon that isn't dark type. Just give Banette a couple of them for its LVL up moveset and good to go imo

Ik this is 6 gens late for a request/hmo but a man can dream for one of his favorite ghost types

- Black 2 is my favorite. Favorite mix of fun and hard, one of the best overall stories, one of the best consistent dexes in terms of who's in it, best 2D look.

- Emerald would be 1st if not for old physical special split. Also 7/10 too much water.

- I genuinely think SV has the best story and thats without including the DLCs. 3 different story lines, a boy with his dog, a girl who wants someone to be equal to her in strength, and a group of kids who rebelled against their bullies because the school wouldn't do anything, all coming together for a final showdown against the AI version of the boys parent

- Not a fan of gen 4 minus the mons that are introduced. Cynthia glazing is insane in DP/Plat, the story follows similar too Magma/Aqua on wanting to summon the legendary for their own benefit (and it backfiring), and I hate gen 4s map. The game does give me some of my all time favorite Legendaries though.

- I hate the constant hate for Bdsp since while the hate its mostly deserved. The fact its not Platinum should be telling on its own its already a downgrade. That said, favorite iteration of gen 4s elite 4 and champ with how difficult they are.

- ORAS is the best remakes no contest. Shouldn't even be an argument

- Gen 5 is next in line for remakes so naturally they should be next

- Say what you want about SVs release and how it looks, I think as a region its the best. Zero grass encounters, zero cave encounters, really solid dexes in both base game and dlcs, incredibly diverse locations that are immediately accessible. In other words, the games held up by the fact its open world.

- Nemonas my favorite I *think*. There's some contenders tbh, but her dream coming from the MC I really liked

- Iris was my first memorable champion since she was the one that gave me the most trouble. To the point I was revive swapping to PP stall a couple of her mons the first time I ever vsed her

- Hoenn has the best trio of any starters. Though Blaziken is a personal favorite, amazing designs, amazing movesets (especially in the modern games), all 3 are useful in their region, and there's heavy bias since i started with a hoenn game

Bewear Story time: I had to restart SWSH a couple years back, and I **hate** the story of it. I don't like Leon and cant stand the Charizard glaze, I find Hop kinda annoying, and I found it frustratingly easy. So I transfered a shiny Stufful/Bewear from Pogo (Stufful had its community day recently back then), and defeated the entire E4 and Leon with solely it, and while Charizard gave me a little trouble, Bewear still won by itself
