Lack of Monuments


In the Pokemon games, there are many statues of Rhydon appearing all over whichever region the Pokemon series takes place in. This is because Rhydon was the first Pokemon that Game Freak designed for the game. However, aside from a structure known as "the ultimate weapon" that was built by AZ to bring the Kalos War to an end, no monuments dedicated to any part of the Pokemon World's history exists. One theory claims that the leftists won the Pokemon War that Vermillion City Gym Leader Lieutenant Surge spoke of, which could explain the lack of statues of other people, including an ancestor of Professor Oak, who was a hero from a few centuries ago, who was mentioned by the official Pokemon books written by Takeshi Shudo. The leftists' victory in the Pokemon War could also explain why there is no competition within the Pokeconomy. Currently, in the United States, there is a campaign by the leftists to destroy America's history. Statues had been destroyed or vandalized as a result. To make matters worse, capitalist corporations are donating to these leftist movements.

With all that said, the wars that happened in the Pokemon World are all but forgotten. No wonder the Pokemon series is a very dangerous series. Forgetting your history leads to a dangerous slide to chaos, which is exactly what is happening in America right now. There is a saying that "History is written by the winners." There is one huge problem with this saying though. What if the winners were more evil than even the obvious villains? Another theory claims that a far greater evil than even the most sinister criminal gang known to exist in the Pokemon World won the Pokemon War. This can explain why Xatu is paralyzed with fear over the future that he saw with his own eyes. For all we know, somebody even more vile than the obvious villains did win the Pokemon War. Yet, Game Freak is hiding that truth from all of us since 1996. Even worse still, Pokemon series creator Satoshi Tajiri considers the darkest version of the Pokemon World known to exist in any official Pokemon continuity to be the closest and most faithful to his original vision for the Pokemon series. With that said, this would make The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild's post-apocalyptic Hyrule look less dangerous.

The Sheep and the Goat


Author's Note: This comic was based on the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats from Matthew 25:31-46.

The story goes like this: When the Son of Man asked the sheep and the goats several questions regarding helping others in need, the sheep said yes to all the questions, while the goats said no to all of them. Both the sheep and the goats then replied "Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison?" The King will then tell the sheep to claim their inheritance, the kingdom prepared for them since the creation of the Earth, because whatever the sheep did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of the King, they did it for him. As for the goats, the King told them to depart from him and leave for the fire pit prepared for the Evil One and his henchmen, because whatever the goats did not do for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of the King, they did not do it for him.

Time Announcer


Swiss watch manufacturer Raymond Weil was known for being the official time announcer for the News programs of Mediacorp's predecessors, most notably the Singapore Broadcasting Corporation (SBC). In fact, Raymond Weil was still the time announcer for Channel 8's news programs as far back as 1995, when Mediacorp was then known as Television Corporation of Singapore (TCS). Nowadays, Mediacorp has different time announcers for their news programs outside Channel News Asia (CNA), but Raymond Weil is not one of them. Raymond Weil's watches, however, are still available in Singapore's watch market.

Legitimate Reasons


Masahiro Sakurai said that Super Smash Bros should remain a celebration of Nintendo's video game history, which also happens to include third-party video games that appeared on Nintendo platforms before, meaning that non-video game characters are not allowed at all. However, there is another reason non-video game characters are not allowed in Nintendo's crossover dueling tournament series, and it has something to do with universal scale destruction of all life, and possibly worse than what Galeem or Dharkon is capable of.

While Pokemon's Team Galactic was considered as the most sinister criminal syndicate in the history of the Pokemon series, due to their evil plan to destroy the universe and recreating it in their image, their level of success would, however, be nowhere near that of Sailor Moon's Sailor Galaxia, who could have brought all life in the universe to an end, and actually came way closer to accomplishing that than not only Team Galactic, but also just about any Dragon Ball Z villain you can think of. Even if Team Galactic acquired Giratina, who was supposed to be based on the fallen angels from the Bible, Team Galactic would still be nowhere near Sailor Galaxia's level. Compared to Tabuu, Galeem or Dharkon, many of Sailor Moon's enemies are incorporeal, and would be way harder to defeat than these three bosses.

For those who wonder where the stabbing incident that "killed" Princess Sakura at the end of Tsubasa Shunraiki came from, it was actually extracted from chapter 178 of the Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle manga. The manga's level of violence is so terrible it would actually make the Pokemon Adventures manga, which contains the darkest version of the Pokemon World known to exist in any official Pokemon canon, not as dark as you think. And that is excluding chapter 200 of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, where Princess Sakura was devoured by a death seal placed on her by Fei Wong Reed. The most tragic part of it was that Princess Sakura had no idea that Fei Wong Reed placed a death seal on her, and she was nowhere near as dumb as Red or Ash Ketchum, both of whom are notoriously dumb protagonists, and yet, Red is in Smash.

When there are anime characters who have the ability to destroy entire planets, or even the entire universe, it's better that Super Smash Bros should remain a video game characters only tournament. Therefore, we should respect Masahiro Sakurai's policies, if it means not having anybody far more destructive than Galeem or Dharkon, both of whom could have possibly killed billions of characters, become a playable character. Otherwise, the game would become almost unplayable...

Philips CD-i Nintendo Games


When Nintendo dumped Sony in favour of a partnership with Philips, which eventually turned sour, resulting in the demise of a proposed CD add-on for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, what Nintendo left behind was an unpleasant legacy that they would rather forget to the point they were all but lost in the historical records of video game history.

The internet, however, had different plans for the Mario and Zelda games that were launched for the Philips CD-i. In 2006, YouTube users started uploading video footage of Philips CD-i Mario and Zelda games, creating a new genre of internet content that internet historians call "YouTube Poop." Back then, copyright law was not as strict as compared to now. Even then, Nintendo wants to forget about Hotel Mario and the Philips CD-i Legend of Zelda games, which means content creators who create YouTube Poop videos using content from the Philips CD-i Nintendo games are classified as compliant with the Fair Use Act.

Even as times change, and not for the better, the legacy of the Philips CD-i Nintendo games will continue to live on, as long as there are people who are willing to acknowledge their existence, and the memes that were created from them.

Volleyball Shorts


Female volleyball shorts are known to be skin tight and sometimes skimpy. Sometimes they even look like panties. But they have to be that way for freedom of movement. This resulted in female volleyball shorts being subjected to internet fanservice. Here are five different variations of female volleyball shorts.

1. These shorts that look like panties are common in Japanese pop culture, with various anime and the NES Volleyball game being the most notable examples.

2. A common variation of female volleyball shorts. Offers freedom of movement as they resemble hipster panties. Commonly seen in several volleyball video games originating from Japan.

3. The most common variation of female volleyball shorts, and the type worn in many real life volleyball competitions. While it offers better modesty than shorts that look like panties, there were complaints that this type of shorts was still too skimpy. That's because the shorts look like boyshorts panties.

4. A pair of female volleyball shorts that offers better modesty than most female volleyball shorts. This pair of shorts should be the type that should be worn in volleyball competitions.

5. The female volleyball shorts that offers the best modesty. This type is the very definition of modesty shorts, and could potentially be the type that should be worn in volleyball competitions.

Female Clothing Obsession


Pop culture has a bizarre way of making various clothing popular. In fact, males being obsessed with certain types of female clothing would not be possible if not for comics, TV shows and video games.

Of course, the attractiveness of female school uniforms cannot be generalised. In fact, it depends on which school happens to have an attractive female school uniform.

It just so happens that the tight-fitting leotard looks like a female one-piece swimsuit. But leotards are not meant to be worn for swimming, let alone getting wet. Yet, for looking like a one-piece swimsuit, leotards get the same fanservice treatment as female swimwear, and in recent years, swimwear designers created female swimsuits with long sleeves that made people wonder if they are really wearing an actual swimming costume.
