    Just a notice, we recently discovered that someone got into a moderator account and started hard deleting a load of key and legacy threads...around 150 threads have been lost dating back to 2007 and some weeks ago so we can't roll the forums back.
    Luckily no personal data could be accessed by this moderator, and we've altered the permissions so hard deleting isn't possible in the future

Ridiculous NPC's in Pokemon

Oh yeah these youngsters who keep talking about their shorts are weird. Even for kids.

I mean seriously they're just shorts. What's so awesome about them?

The dialogs with these youngsters talking about their shorts really weirds me out good.

Ha, whenever Blue in FireRed is like "You'll be an easy battle" or " Im going to beat you so badly" or something along those lines and then he leads with a Pidgeot. then Im like" I got a Charizard b#tch" and sweep him with only using flamethrower, even on the blastoise

Not to mention Pidgeot is a bad Pokémon. Why would a guy who is supposed to be the world's strongest trainer have one on his team?

The rest of his Pokémon are awesome though.

Or you go into game designer's office in gen 1, and the guy says "Im the game designer, I drew you!" And I'm like...4th wall...broken.

The 4th wall..breaking it is usually reserved for once a game, but they do it too much with the GF cameos...

Its better to be Atop The Fourth Wall than to break it.

Also find many of the collectors quite silly. "Let me see your Pokemon!" or "I always lose, I just want to see your Pokemon!" is what they say. And their team only has like two types of Pokemon. Seriously? Shouldn't you have like 6 different Pokemon if you are a collector?
This is in D/P/Pt I believe xD

It's kinda funny, in one of my SS playthrough, my party consisted of a female (1/8 chance) Feraligatr, a female (1/8 chance) Togetic, a shiny Umbreon (from another game), and a Giratina. And yet there was this one collector near the Lake of Rage that was saying I have no rare Pokemon. .3.

Now you're getting on some deep stuff...
What about those both guys from R/S/E that liked big barboach and shroomish?

Why do you have to bring this up? Not gonna reveal it as well, but I don't think this was a coincidence as well. .3.

How about the Pokemon Center Nurse that is watching battles at the Battle Maison? She sure was angry, but I just wanted to have a nice chat with her. D':

So i just found my two new favorite Pokemon NPCs. This is a chat between boy and a girl.
Boy: "Y'know… My Emolga really wants to schlock your Dedenne."
Girl: "…What?"
I don't think this conversation needs any explanation. You can find these two people on Vernal Avenue in Lumiose City, next to Vert Plaza.

That's especially bad in HG/SS where he has Machamp, Arcanine, Exeggutor, Rhyperior, Tyranitar and ......Pidgeot.
Not to mention Pidgeot's supposed to be his ace Pokemon.

The girl in the Battle Chateau that asks you if you picked your outfit out if the trash or put it on in the dark. No, my outfit is worh more than your soul.
Many other characters that never give you any respect even though you are the champion. Like, what the heck?

The pants kid is just great though.
 
Two more in X/Y from Hotel Richissme(sp?):

1.)
Top floor, same area as the silly pillar lady.
some girl: "Wait... This smell is.... Arggghhh, Furfrou! Marking your territory in a place like this!"

TMI, gamefreak! TMI!

2.)
Fourth floor, the guy standing by the vase:
"Gulp! I-I-I wasn't trying to drink out of the vase or anything! You saw nothing!"

I saw everything! I was right behind you, you liar!

Well, let's see... I like that one Hex Maniac in X/Y, who upon being defeated breaks character and admits that she isn't sure how a Hex Maniac is supposed to act. The Hex Maniacs in general in those games say some really strange things, including one who I believe says something along the lines of having known since her past life that she would someday battle the player character.

I also like how the NPCs seem to be getting more self-aware as the games go on, with that line of people in B2/W2 who basically admit that they're there for no reason and will someday vanish without a trace, or that one guy in Terminus Cave in X/Y who comments on how one of the Hikers in the cave has been walking back and forth across a bridge for days. Maybe in a future game, the main villain will be an NPC attempting to defeat the player character so they can steal their position as the protagonist? :p

I'll also mention Maid Julia, AKA that one maid in the Battle Chateau who talks like a robot. I wonder just what the deal with her is.

There's also an NPC in X and Y you run into late in the game who apparently got lost on the way to the Trainer's School, and somehow ended up on Route 18. One has to wonder how that happened. Similarly, there's an NPC who went on a walk with her Furfrou, and said Furfrou ended up leading her all the way from Couriway Town to Courmarine City.
 
I find the jugglers a weird concept in general. Like, these are a group of people who have wrapped most of their identity in the fact that they can juggle. That also kind of goes for fire breathers.

Yeah, there are many weird trainers in the games.

Speaking of weird class, there are picnickers you find in caves.

Who the heck starts a picnic in a cave?

Funny story, I have had multiple picnics in a cave. However, this was only because when you get to the back of this cave, you tend to be really hungry at the end. So what better way to do this then to have a cave picnic?

However, I highly doubt that this is what the creators intended. I don't think they were considering my weird friends at the time of programming.

Another group I find odd: Everyone in the Pokemon tower in Platinum/Diamond/Pearl (Yes, I forgot the specific name). They are mourning the deaths of their Pokemon, so they challenge you to a battle? That's like going to your Grandma's funeral then deciding to play baseball. It just doesn't fit the tone of the moment.
