    FYI Oak was charged with voluntary manslaughter because he didn't plan to kill Agatha beforehand but just decided to do in the moment. That's the difference between manslaughter and murder.

    • @felynia_
      @felynia_ 9 місяців тому +24

      Nope. Manslaughter is no intention to kill in that moment, but still a voluntary violent act. He should have be punished for 2nd degree murder, which is intended murder (unplanned but still intentional). I'm pretty sure when he said "no holding back", he meant to kill her.

    • @jamesdinius7769
      @jamesdinius7769 3 місяці тому +5

      Yeah tbh given the 'recent war we lost' backstory this could probably be seen as a very vague parallel, plus I'm pretty sure that the whole 'being more lenient towards the right wing' thing was something that actually happened in post-ww1 germany. Pretty sure they had a saying along the lines of 'the justice system works with the right eye closed' or something like that, and this Oak seems very much like he's part of the right wing in Rocket edition!Kanto. He probably has a lot of supporters, and not just the relatively harmless 'quick, support him while he's powerful to get into his good graces' kind like Agatha.

Plus with the witnesses being Red, who was deemed to have significant physical and mental issues and therefore probably unreliable for witness testimony, and Grunty Boi, who was himself a criminal trying to take the title of champ, it wouldn't be surprising if Oak convinced the law to deem the former unfit for testimony and the latter 'not to be trusted'. Plus he probably has the money for good lawyers, too, so it really isn't much of a surprise that he got out of that one. I'd say he needed minimal bribery to be declared guilty for Agatha's death.

    There’s supposed to be some heavy implications that the Rocket Grunt you play as was also genetically engineered to win battles so, if this story becomes cannon to Grunty Boi, that means he’s going to have an identity crisis if he figures out he’s not a real human either.

    Easily my favorite Pokemon Hack. It manages to tell a fun story that uses theories and other ideas while making up some creative ones in the process. It does well to make you feel like a rocket member and yet also gives you freedom to choose. My only gripe is that I wish the pokemon options were a bit better. Not to say it's awful but the majority of mons are Kanto and not from others. Which makes sense with the story but I wish more options were available to have more useful mons from other regions for a bit of diversity team wise. Regardless these are fine games I am glad to have scene you enjoy!
