So moral of the story: If you are a politician or someone in a line of work that needs to be taken seriously, try to look as ugly as you can.

[Darvi]

Maybe not ugly. Nobody likes ugly. Plain is what you should be aiming for.

[Neonivek]

No it isn't plain either.

You want to be beautiful but you cannot be flat out beautiful, you must be beautiful like the Queen of England is beautiful or Mother Theresa is Beautiful or Bill Clinton is Beautiful.

So...just a little bit photogenic?

Spoiler: Belgium, you so cray-cray (click to show/hide)

[10ebbor10]

Meh, worse things happened.

[Dutchling]

Picture was taken in 1958.

Why is/was this kid so special?

[Dutchling]

Oh it's not the kid who's special. It's a white people zoo.

[Pnx]

They really shouldn't be cramming white people into those cages like that.

[10ebbor10]

I know. Expo 58. Anyway, it was closed after people tried to feed the exhibit.

Anyway, not the craziest things that happened at the Expo. Certainly beat the Dutch pavilion as well, with it's most petted goat in the world.

Oh it's not the kid who's special. It's a white people zoo.

More specifically, at the Brussels World’s Fair, there was a ethnic village, including ethnic Congolese imported from the colonies.

Edit: Also, it was kind of tradition. All of Brussels world fairs had ethnic villages.

They really shouldn't be cramming white people into those cages like that.

The situation in the British pavilion was worse. According to certain sources, the entire exhibit was one long queue.

I just noticed this...

You know how you can't forget HM moves in the Pokemon games on command?

Why the heck does FLY count? You don't need to specifically FLY anywhere, you can just walk.

Think about it.

[Vorthon]

Because it's a damn useful move. Believe me, I've been doing a 'no-flying' run of Y, and it's kind of annoying to have to trudge from one end of the map to the other.

[Frumple]

Though... wasn't there actually one place you did have to fly to, to reach? I want to say in Emerald. Could be confusing it with a hack, I'unno.

Regardless, you couldn't forget flash, either, and it was just as unnecessary -- and even for the exact same reason (It was a massive time saver, and not much else).

My point was that, moves like Cut and Surf are like that so you don't get stuck. But Fly and Flash (or flash at least in the first few gens) aren't necessary, they're just handy-dandy notebooks auxiliary moves.

Nonetheless, I see why the Battle Box is handy-- most of the HM moves are horrific to try to use in battle, or at least competitively.
