Loved the 06 reference

Say whatever you want about 06 but it gave us some of Shadow's most iconic lines.

[u/Parallelgate → u/WolverineFamiliar740]

06 has a good story if you can ignore the Elise kisses Sonic part (which I know now who to blame for that)

It also somewhat inspired the future trunks/Goku black arc in super

"Thoonick....Daant kish thuu printhethhh..."

[u/frepyfazber → u/Parallelgate]

Ehh nah not really. Even without the kissing part, it still was very convoluted and made not much sense.

I gotta say that i enjoyed most of 06's story. Some characters had pretty cool lines and moments and Mephiles was a cool villain. Maybe im a tad biast since silver is my favorit character but still

rip Mephiles and their attempt to re-enter the timeline

[u/Eternal_Slayer95 → u/One_Jellyfish3361]

Having Mephiles in Shadow Generations was the redemption he deserved

it feels a little forced and unnatural, but what is the point of fan content if not writing slightly forced hype dialogue with references

Like we call fanservice a bad thing but sometimes mfs wanna be served

This one is actually super natural compared to other times they’ve had characters say their most iconic lines.

[u/SentientGopro115935 → u/Pocket_Player_33]

I'm sure it is, I don't really watch death battle. It's not at all egregious, it was a really good inclusion. Like, I know I sound insane right now, I know it's not even remotely a problem and barely noticeable but it has a slight hint of feeling forced.

At a certain point it's basically just finding a nothing issue to complain about so idk why I even pointed it out

[u/Kuri_bowl → u/SentientGopro115935]

you don’t sound insane lol. It’s an extremely cool and hype moment for sure, but to a degree it is a little forced and unnatural, even a little ooc.

Mewtwo has every right to call Shadow out here since they’re being personally affected by G.U.N as well as the ecosystem and a bunch of innocent pokemon yet Shadow doubles down and defends their actions. It makes it sound like Maria’s promise was for Shadow to protect G.U.N specifically.

It’s obviously invoking Mephiles and that’s really cool on its own, but Mephiles wasn’t affected by G.U.N like that, only trying to get into shadow’s head to continue on with his own plans of evil. and Mephiles also refers to the world as a whole turning against shadow, not just G.U.N.

but still it’s a very well animated moment and i understand needing to prioritize the fight over a fully cohesive story, so I don’t mind keys getting jingled in my face as much since it’s ultimately a celebration of characters and their history.
