    That finale was more intense than any fights in the actual pokemon anime
    Which is funny, since "I came to the final battle without a full team of 6 and won" and "We're both down to our final pokemon and mine is at the disadvantage" have both definately happened in the anime

      I'd saaaay... Ash VS Paul in the anime's gen 4 - which featured an Infernape's grudge match against one hell of an Electivire, which was Motor Drive speed-boosted from a previous bout in which it took down Pikachu - was _pretty_ goated. And what happened to Alpha here is absolutely of that level, in terms of stakes and drama.
      Now, this isn't me going "wElL, aCtUaLlY", right, because I played Pokémon Emerald Rogue myself and had one hell of a first run, so, I agree with your statement on principle. I'm only mentioning this fight because to me, whenever a personal adventure reaches that fight's level of awesome, then the game that allowed it is doing something right.

    I'm just gonna point out the bangers selected for the background music and sound effects.

Good job, whoever is picking the music.

    He forgot to mention the gameshow and curse encounters. Also the strong trainer ones too. The gameshow encounter gives you a few guesses at left or right, and you can get something good or bad from it. This could include getting 5000 money, or getting a mon traded for a random one.
    The curse encounter is when you enter a graveyard and get to pick 1 of 3 perks, but also get a random curse as well. You could get something like improved crit rate but lowered catch rate.
    And the strong trainer is essentially a normal trainer that is slightly stronger than you. Also, sometimes it IS YOU!, with your exact same team. When you beat the trainer, you get to pick one to their mons to put onto your team.
