Favorite quotes from the games.

[Treecko]

This was an old thread that was revived and then closed so I thought I revived it.

What are some of your favorite quotes from the Pokemon games?

One of my favorites is from Karen in GSC/HGSS

Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorites. I like your style. You understand what's important. Go on — — the Champion is waiting.

or in HGSS it's

"Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled Trainers should try to win with the Pokémon they love best. I like your style. You understand what's important. Go on — — the Champion is waiting."

It just relates to how I pick my team in games. I just pick my favorites most of the time.

And most recently , I've love this quote from Diantha in X and Y for whatever reason.

"What a strange question... Why would I want to play the same old roles forever? Youth may be beautiful, but it's not all there is to life. Everything changes. I want to live and change like that, too. So I look forward to playing different roles as I get older."

"BASABASABASABASABASABASABASABASA!!!" - Bird Keeper, Route 12. (HGSS)

It was the biggest, most surprising "what the ****?" moment for me in the games.

I remember that and could help but think the same. It's like GF thought "Hey let's make a trainer say just a bunch of random letters."

Here's a classic one from a Pokemon tradition

Spoiler:

 

[Zorogami]

I really like the Karen quote myself, pretty deep for a Pokemon game.
One of my favorites would have to be "I tell you kid, electric Pokémon saved me during the war!" - Lt Surge
Not only does it show what a huge b*da*s Lt Surge is, but it raises questions about a possible War that happened in the PokeWorld

Lysandre actually offers a great deal of philosophical insight into the nature of humanity. It's that emotional depth that actually makes him a fairly compelling villain.

I want to be the kind of person who gives... But in this world, some foolish humans exist who would show their strength by taking what isn't theirs.
They're filth!

Even though resources, space, and energy on this planet are limited, the number of people and Pokémon has increased to an unsustainable level. Whether it's money or energy, the ones who steal are the ones who win in this world.

When there is only one of something, it can't be shared. When something can't be shared, it will be fought over. And when something is fought over, some must survive without it. The only way to create a world where people live in beauty, a world without conflict or theft, is to reduce the number of living things.

It's over... Fools with no vision will continue to befoul this beautiful world. They will go on until the only thing left to do is squabble over the remaining scraps of hope...

If that were possible, all wars would have ended long ago! I can only see one future! One where selfish, foolish humans think about nothing other than themselves and steal more and more from one another... It's a tragic future!

Not sure if anyone remembers this. Golden.

 

[Blastin'Tyruntz]

"The air is tasty here!" - Little kid on route 117,Ru\Sa\E
"What're you lookin' at?!"- Silver,outside of Elm lab, 2nd gen\HGSS

 

[Pendraflare]

Aside from what's been said already, there is one quote from the Unova games that is pure classic:

"Hey, hey! A bad one teamed up with another bad one! Do you know what it means? That means we are very bad!" - Hooligans Jim and Cas on Route 9.

That one never gets old to me. xP

 

[Hiatus]

"Oh, I'm so hot and sweaty now!"

Don't remember who said it, exactly, but I found it to be pretty amusing. xD;; Also, here's a classic one:

"I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear!"

 

[Judge Mandolore Shepard]

I would have to say for favorite quotes, this classic one is one of my favorites.

"This is my grandson. He's been your rival since you were both babies. Err... what was his name again...?" - Professor Oak

This quote is also one of my favorites.

"Oh, no! I dropped the Lift Key." - a Rocket Grunt in the Rocket Hideout under the Rocket Game Corner.

 

[RemixinROMulus]

Some of the funny ones

"I like shorts! They're comfortable and easy to wear!"

-youngster in every portable game in the series.

Changing the Dewford slogan produces interesting results:

Isn't "HEROINE HABIT" the coolest, or what?
I can't imagine what life would be like without "HEROINE HABIT"!

-people in Dewford Town

You don't say!

Did you know that POKEMON evolve?

-guy in Viridian Forest

Heheh! This GYM is great! It's full of women!

-old man outside of Erika's gym

I wish my boyfriend was as good as you.

-Picknicker Kelsey, FRLG Route 25

Don't remember the exact dialogue, but there's a hiker in Rock Tunnel (FRLG) who says "Hit me with your best shot" before battle and "Fired away" after battle.

I've always really liked the Karen quote in the OP. It definitely relates to how I build my teams: I go for the Pokemon I like, not for whether or not they're necessarily good in battle.
