my favorite college memory was when one of my profs, right before graduation, sat all of us seniors in her class down and said, “do NOT drink a lot the night before graduation” and we were all like “yeah yeah no being late to the ceremony, no stupid behavior” and she goes, “NO not for any of THOSE reasons. there’s a bagpipe choir. do NOT be hungover for the bagpipe choir. you won’t like it.”
I like how in ORAS you can ride Latios/Latias bareback with literally no safety precautions (you even mega evolve it while on its back in midair for chrissake), but in Sun/Moon you have: a helmet, a special riding outfit, a saddle, and a harness when all you’re doing is riding a Tarous around
Alola cares about your safety. Hoenn will gladly watch a kid die.
