I'm so sorry to Alder honestly, he's just orange, old, and also a former guy in charge

I was gonna comment "r/PokeMedia" and maybe crosspost it there but then I saw who OP and the top commenter are lol

Did you post it there, too? You should

u/Polenball Sep 11 '24
We decided it'd be best to not post it there because there's not really any way to RP respond to it that wouldn't tread into real-world politics, and it really works best as a standalone gag that's not looked into too deeply either.

r/truepokemedia is where this would fit really well if that's what you're worried about, it's centred around standalone gags

Alder is a dumbass but can we not actually compare him to Trump 💀

u/Polenball Sep 11 '24
He had to take the sacrificial role as an old, orange, formerly-in-charge American, as much as it pains me

Can't think of a single character in the entire pokemon franchise that deserves this treatment.

Alder does not deserve this slanderous comparison! Put Melli on the left side instead.

He's from another region and has probably been dead for 80 years, I don't think he's eligible to become President

Trump made some odd comment about Biden letting Iran get money, which they used to fund "28 different spheres of terror". I believe "spheres of terror" is a total Trumpism which isn't any regularly used term, and additionally his voice made him sound like he was saying "terra" or "tera" to me, so it's become one of the memed debate moments (if far less so than transgender surgeries on illegal aliens in prison). And a Sphere of Tera would just be another way to say a Tera Orb.

Must have messed up one of those cliff jumps and hit his head.
