Bad places/times in the pokemon universe for there to be a power outage.
Ya know all those little pads in team rocket's base that shoot you around the room to make a puzzle. What if Red just used pikachu to blow the circuits and shorted them all out. Also if it blew the elevator too, he could still totally get to Giovanni because they'd have to have emergency stairs someplace. Just saying it'd save a ton of time. Sabrina's gym uses teleporters right? What would happen if the power went out while someone was mid-teleport? Continuing this what if, again, the protag shorted out the electricity before Maxie/Archie left their office in Lilycove? Considering they need teleporters to get there that wouldn't be working the leader would be trapped. Then the protag would just have to beat the grunts, call Jenny over, and boom they can arrest them. So any of the electric gyms would be having a very bad day if the power went out, but Elsa's stands out to me. Idk if her roller coaster's are soley electric or inertia based but can you imagine getting stuck in one of those little carts? Imagine it was at the top of the loop? Not a good day. Brawley's gym with no working tread mills would be friggin breeze! Much to the annoyance of Brawley who I imagine scrambling to make it work till things get fixed. Gardenia's gym but her little flower clock is broken meaning trainers have to ruin all the flowers she planted. ;_; Power goes out during the battle subway, hopefully your opponet is someone you can get along with for the next couple of hours. Drasna's giant dragon statue doesn't work, and accidentally traps her. Thus leaving the protag and her to casually chat through the stone dragon wings while waiting for help. If while working on Type: Null the power went out, and lead to them escaping prematurely. Just friggin try to cover up a Type: Null rampage, I bet that would go over real well. Or ride pokemon services are down and someone ends up trapped someplace cause the puzzle reset while they were deep in the middle of it. Hall of fame, but epic moment gets ruined since the registering machine isn't working leaving a moment that was supposed to be awesome rather flat.
