Lord Chespin Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) Hey! So, not sure if you guys knew this or not, but I've made a page for Pokemon Rejuvenation on TVTropes. It could use a little love, however, and since I'm just one guy I don't feel qualified to do the YMMV-section tropes without some community feedback. Therefore, I'd like your feedback on two tropes:Ensemble Darkhorse: An unexpectedly popular minor character. The Scrappy: The fans hate this character for some reason. As you can see, these are some pretty controversial tropes, so I figure I'd ask you guys for feedback. Try to keep it civil, 'kay? Thanks!

Hect Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) Ren starring as "The Scrappy", perhaps? I don't know anybody who has been too fond of him, including me. Hoping that he'll get some more character development other than "Melia, you're alive? Yeah, sorry for joining Team Xen." But that's just my humble opinion.

We, as fans, have a reason to hate him, and the troupe of "The Scrappy" makes it sound like it has no justification for the hate. My vote for Darkhorse might need to be everyone's favorite Professor, though he was made to be likable/memeific, so that might not count. Plus he might not b considered minor, as he could play a bigger role in the future. I mean, she is a freaking member of the Eleite Eight, so who knows what can happen.

Well, there could be some justification, just not in-story. For example, the Lady in Snowpoint City who trades you a Haunter holding an everstone. I guess "lack of character development" and "turns evil for an incredibly petty reason" are pretty good reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Mods Ice Cream Sand Witch Posted August 1, 2016 Global Mods Share Posted August 1, 2016 Agreed with Piano Girl for Ensemble Darkhorse. I looked up The Scrappy and I'd think Amaria would be closest? I haven't really seen anything positive said about her (so I'll be the first: I like her hair and the "If you're indecisive like 80% of America" comment), but I've seen a few negative things.

I never really dealt with anything regarding TVTropes, nor did I ever really care about it. I never really understood what it was about, but I enjoyed reading some entries. I just tried finding a character that would fit the description of "The Scrappy". And yeah, opinions may differ. Though, I think that the game gives us enough reasons to hate Ren. :-P "There are popular characters that have fandoms. But sometimes, there is a character who instead has a hatedom. We'll call this guy 'The Scrappy'." I am hereby founding the "Hatedom of Ren". Feel free to join, or not. I don't really care.
