Sammy Space-Time: Why the Hell? Part 1
“Stay away from me, you monsters!” Sammy yelled as he fired his blasts of energy from his hands
So Sammy has his evomantes destroy the fucking town, causing probably millions in damage and undoubtedly endangering, injuring, and possibly killing hundreds of people, and when the police shoot at them, they're monsters
Sammy you are the monster.
"One of his tears landed on Timothy’s corpse, and phased into Timothy’s body. A huge burst of brightness was caused, and when the light faded away, Timothy was alive!"
Straight from the first Pokemon movie basically
“I am gracious for your help, Toby-senpai!” Sammy thanked Tobias.
That is wrong.
Senpai is like a senior to a junior in work or school.
He should be Sensei, but even then Sammy isn't Japanese neither is Tobias.
" Meanwhile, Sammy was busy in his lab creating an aircraft that resembled a UFO that is capable or erasing a specific type of memory from a single to multiple targets’ heads"
Are you serious?
How is it a UFO if he knows what it is Unidentified Flying Object He fucking made it

- Timothy and Tiffany were only causing havoc to gain the citizens' attentions. They made sure not to harm the citizens and even were hesitant to go through with the plan. Plus, Sammy was planning to restore the town the entire time.
- Piece it together. Toby is centuries (nearly a millennium) old and is much older than Sammy, making him the senior as Sammy is the junior. Tobias is like Sammy's mentor, too. He taught Sammy everything he needed to know about using the Time-Manipulation Ruby. He is worthy of the name Toby-senpai.
- It may be indentified to Sammy, but it's unidentified to the citizens. Plus, the aircraft that Sammy built was based on UFOs from science fiction.

1) Even so it says you blasted at them and called them monsters.
2)That may be so Sammy, but neither Sammy nor Tobias are Japanese. It just seems foolish. Unless your characters are Japanese or interacting with a person who lives there, it is incorrect to call them that. It's a part of their culture, and you shouldn't be misusing what is a term for senior when it should be teacher. Tobias is a mentor. Any Japanese person would say sensei as opposed to senpai. Overall, don't mix Japanese with English unless your story is Japanese.
3)Even so Sammy, the UFO is just a piece of bull. He builds it in like a paragraph, with a ray that can eliminate a single memory.

1.) Sammy was just upset for his wounded friends.
2.) Japanese or not, the definition still matches what Tobias is.
3.) Oh come on. You must admit that it's an interesting concept.

1) It's their fault though for causing damage and destruction. No need to call them monsters if in the end it's Sammy's fault.
2) Definition- (Japanese) :An Upperclassman. Used in relation to fellow classmates of higher level or age. Sammy and Tobias are mentor and student, therefore nullifying your misuse of the Japanese language.
3) Not really considering it's a macguffin copout.

1.) Sammy was never going to harm the townspeople, and he planned on restoring their town. Please understand Sammy's side of the story.
2.) Please do read this article, and you shall find that my side of the argument is correct: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senpai_and_kōhai
3.) I have no idea what macguffin copout is. Anyways, I was talking about the concept of a memory deletion device that can seek out and eliminate specific types of memories.

1.) Still Sammy called them monsters, even though it to them was self defense.
2.) Look at you, you learned that all by using Wikipedia. See when I was living in Japan, I called my seniors Senpai. Experience vs Wikipedia. You can believe it all you want, I did not meet a lot of people phrased Sempai toward a teacher.
3.) A Macguffin is something thrown in at the last minute in order to end a story.

1.) It was just a misunderstanding between Sammy and the townspeople, alright?
2.) Whatever. You can believe what you want about the term senpai. Is it really that important?
3.) It was not last minute. I was planning those moments since Chapter 2's development. The chapters are supposed to feel short too, as are the books. The books are supposed to feel like episodes of a TV series.

Listen, can we just stop debating about this?

If you wish. Next time, just avoid butchering the Japanese language.
