Talk:Gary's Raticate/@comment-26480939-20171212205651

Hoo boy. I clicked this thinking that it'd be a retread of the "Player killed Gary's Raticate!" theory, and I found something much worse than that.

This is like a clusterfuck of Poképasta clichés, almost every one of them overused, to boot. To wit, I saw:

Getting a messed-up Pokémon game cartridge

Purchasing the game at a yard sale

Starting up at Lavender Town (HUGE CLICHÉ ALERT!!!)

Mentioning GHOST and BURYMAN

Dsrawkcab txet (backwards text)

Altered Pokémon sprites (HUGE CLICHÉ ALERT!!!)

Traumatic sounds being heard

Player continues playing despite weird shit happening

Starting up at Lavender Town AGAIN (HUGE CLICHÉ ALERT!!!)

Unnecessary mention of extreme violence (eating human flesh)

Murdering off a character

Player character commits suicide (BIG CLICHÉ ALERT!!)

No explanation for any of the above

This is very bad for a Poképasta. You get a 2.5/10 Needs significant improvements.

This is mostly for such overusage of clichés from Poképastas and gamingpastas alike.

How to improve this: Cut back on usage of clichés and give more explanation of the events in the game.
