So I did the math for Ghetsis's sentence.

Hey guys. I was bored once and I was wondering... If Ghetsis, arguably Pokémon's worst villain, were to be charged for all of his crimes throughout BW, BW2, USUM, and the manga, what would his theoretical sentence be? So, I did a lot of math.

In the last volume of the BW Adventures manga, Ghetsis abducts six gym leaders plus Hawes. This is considered Kidnapping in the First Degree, since it lasted for more than 12 hours and an intent to terrorize, which breaks NY Penal Code 135.25, a Class A1 Felony. It has 25 years life imprisonment and fines of 100,000$ per count. Since he unlawfully imprisoned them, it breaks NYPC 135.10, a Class E Felony with 4 years in prison and 5,000 in fines per count. Also it's considered Reckless Endangerment in the 1st Degree when he left them there during his battles with Hilbert and N. 7 year sentence and 5,000$ fine. Then he coerced Lenora to give up the Dark Stone using Hawes, a ruling of Coercion 1st. That's another 7 years. (25 + 4) x 7 + (7 + 7) = 217 years in prison. (100,000 + 5,000)x7+5,000 = 740,000$ in fines.

Then, in the manga and in the games, Ghetsis committed murder in the 2nd degree (attempted) against the protagonist and against N 3 times combined. 25 years per count. He also coerced countless people into giving up their Pokémon. I'd say about 60 ish people based on the NPC counts from the cutscenes got forced to give up their Pokémon cuz of him. So that's again 7 years and $5,000 per count since that's the gain made from it. So it's hybrid, for each city he visited (Accumula, Castelia, Opelucid, and Driftveil), but fines are applied per person. Then he literally neglected three children (N, Concordia, and Anthea) 1 year per case and 1,000$ in fines. 25x3 + 7x4 +1 + 217 = 322 years in prison. 5,000x60+1,000x3 + 740,000 = 1,143,000$.

Then he also committed the freezing of Opelucid. This constitutes life imprisonment with no parole. He also did science experiments for the cause of mass harm, also life sentence. Also, freezing buildings counts as arson since it was a rapid catastrophic release of thermal energy. This 25 year sentence would count per building damaged (42 buildings yes I counted). He also committed reckless endangerment against 46 citizens plus Drayton. Then there's the animal abuse part. He maximised Hydreigon Frustration, experimented on Kyurem and more. Then he coerced the player and threatened to destroy Lillie in USUM. He also attacked the player in the manga with Eelektross, which is aggravatted assault. He even committed freaking treason against the literal Unovian government. For the fines... It must have cost a lot to build Opelucid. He must have received hundreds of millions if not billions in restitution and fines. So 25x42 + 7x47 + 322 + 25 +4 + 25 + 25 = 1770

He receives 1,770 years in prison and hundreds of billions of PokéDollars in restitution and fines with the possibility of capital punishment

Can we TALK about Blueberry Academy's OSHA violations?

Ok. So I recently played the Indigo Disk, and I realized something really weird in the canon. The Blueberry Academy off the coast of Unova is super unsafe. Here's why.

They are underwater. Let's be real. The oceanic pressure from the literal Unovian Sea pressing against the glass dome must be a lot. If the pressure stabilizers or the structural support beams go out, the literal ocean floods the whole school. By the way, I never mentioned there were no emergency escape pods by any students, so they would have to ride on I don't know, a Lapras.

Second of all... the biomes. If the magical barrier somehow loses power, the biomes will bleed into each other and can cause a lot of enviornmental disruption.

Then there's the Pokémon. They're really aggressive and could probably end someone who is unprepared. They might also try to mess up the tech (looking at you Magneton and Probopass) and cause things to go unstable.

The Terastal energy. If some random Terapagos drains the energy, which probably would have happened if Mr. Gary Stu Florian hadn't come there and stopped angsty teenage boi Kieran from making Terapagos go berserk.

Finally, Cyrano probably doesn't know a thing about engineering. He just sits around daydreaming all day and hands all the work to Lacey, Amarys, and Mad Scientist Who Almost Made Terapagos Go Berserk And Wiped Out The School Lady™️ (Briar).

So please spare the lives the future national security of Unova and next time build the school on dry land.

Most annoying Expanded Beta deck you've ever faced?

One time I was playing Expanded Beta casually and then I finally had an opponent. I thought they were gonna play something nice and friendly but then I found out they were playing some turn 1 hand shred deck using Adaptive Evolution paired with that Grand Wing Vivillion from Perfect Order. Then they used Grabber and Energy Swatter to cut my hand down to 1-3 cards and bottom-decking my Pokémon and Energy cards. Then they played Path to the Peak in case I dropped a Dedenne-GX or a Crobat V. They also ran Crushing Hammer just in case I had any energy on my board. Finally, guess what? they item locked me. Post your most annoying Expanded Beta experience in the comments

If you had to errata any one card and bring it back to either or both formats, what would it be?

I want to bring Scoop Up Net back, but errata it to say “Pokémon that doesn't have a Rule Box”. Please post in the comment section what card you would errata and how you would errata it!
