UM THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A MEME POST BUT IT TURNED INTO A LONG RANT ABOUT THE RIVAL'S POSTGAME SO,,,, SORRY ABOUT THAT
Post game spoilers (after the 15th ranked ZA♾️ battle to be specific) under the cut (and in tags maybe)
So I actually did this a little while ago but it keeps bothering me lmao
My opinion, of course anyone is free to think what they want and all, but to me the grandmother reveal pretty much sucked ass right??
First we see Jett like, three-four times in game and we have one ONE moment where she says Urbain/Taunie's jacket seemed familiar. And that's just it??
Unless I forget stuff, (which is likely tbh💀), we are never shown she suffers some kind of loss, that she misses or is looking for someone as well. Also Team MZ has been working with Quasartico Company since even before meeting MC so why didn't the president noticed the rival's jacket way sooner?? 😭 And it also makes Emma look like a bad detective, maybe you can blame it on overworking but she probably was on Jett's case since for a while before getting the exact same type of case from the rival themselves ?? And her eureka moment was that darn jacket?? That has been there since the begining?? I???😭😭
Im probably overthinking this....
It just seem bizarre and like a rushed up conclusion for Urbain/Taunie. There's nothing emotionnal or even sweet about that reunion because we barely saw Jett, the rival doesn't know their grandmother, besides some stories told by their mother, they only ever known the CEO they work for. Outside of speaking about their mom/daughter the exchange feels formal and distant. (the fact the characters faces have a sad expression for only a few moment before returning to the default smile doesn't help but that's another thing)
Speaking of CEO......
WHAT IN THE GODDAMN FUCK WAS THAT FINALLITY????!!!!!!!
I can't
I can't BEGIN to believe this has actually happened and is canon. This bitch, this fucking bitch realize her long lost grandson/daughter she probably didn't even know existed to begin with was RIGHT there, looking for her, to find some connections with their deceased mom, her DEAD DAUGHTER, learn more about their and what does she do?? WHAT DOES SHE DO???
SHE FUCKING QUITS AND HAND OUT HER JOB TO THE RIVAL ???
Like bitch if ur daughter cut contact with you, ran away it's clear that you didn't know her!!😭😭 You two might have the same goals but cleary couldn't agree on the methods. In what world would the mom be happy her YOUNG child (they're not small kids but still, they already have a job at Hotel Z, they lead team mz, they're a trainer yada yada) takes over the very company she ran away from?🤨
And,,,, don't get me wrong I love our rival, wether it's Urbain or Taunie, but they are in NO way capable of being CEOs 😭😭
You just don't get such a job just because ur family— Right,,,, nepotism,,, cough cough
WHAT I MEAN is they're already struggling with hotel promotion material, while im sure they can take good care of the place itself, they haven't been attracting customers. They're really good trainers and are dedicated to protect Lumoise City ! But they also did get themselves and Team MZ in a really crappy situation by BORROWING MONEY TO THE LOCAL GANG. (Okay Corvault isn't all that bad and cruel, he isn't evil evil just uh not the guy with the most honest buissness).
I just don't see the rival being in that position and "leaving" Team MZ or well, Hotel Z. ESPECIALLY after A.Z's death,,, (still not over that btw) Like the man welcomed them in for basically free, only help to maintain the Hotel. It's said at the very beging that the rival owe alot to AZ so why would they leave the Hotel behind ??? For their mom who already ran away from Quasartico ??? Really? Really?? 😭😭😭
I could maybe, maybe see it in like a ten year timeskip or smth, when this mf bitch Jett passes away or something crazy happens in Lumiose ?? And they take over the company, but even that it feels like a "bad end" of some kind.
Anyway, maybe the dlc will have more explanation and insight on the rival as CEO idk,,,,, sighs,,,, To me this is just a bunch of bullshit ahh😭
My rant is over, thanks for coming to my ted talk,,,,
I know there's plenty of ppl that don't do the post game but if you got thoughts too, feel free to share bc i haven't really seen any?? Not alot at least so im curious to know if im not the only one feeling like this🥲
(Ah and here is the said meme lol) all four versions
+ Bonus bc thinking about this made me angry again
