Brock was shirtless the whole time.

Because the top of the structure is really this part:

The Black Omen is a Star Destroyer and not some sort of weird-ass flying tower.
WHAT
 
You're not "supposed to" hold it like that, you can hold it like that if you have tiny hands, but neither one is wrong.
No, the left one is literally wrong. If you're playing a game that uses control stick, the entire intent of the design is that you place your hand on the prong with the control stick. Going across the controller doesn't even make sense.
 
Huh... like this?


I mean there is a huge handle in the middle guys, and it's the bigger one too!
Wow....I....have played 100s of hours of N64 and have always held it from the left and right handles.... This just blew my brain. Granted I have large hands, but still, how did I not know this!

Screw your tiny baby T-Rex claws. I maintain that the controller was designed like that to accomodate both people with large and small hands, holding the two handles right next to each other just feels uncomfortable to me. Both ways are correct, but you only accept one, which does make you worse as a person.

Well this is a shock. Guess that's what happens with you have to deal with 2D sprites.
 
Threads around reactions like this, the N64 controller...always makes me think of those people that complain about "not getting" Wii motion controlls, Wii U gamepad and other things. Maybe they've been doing or playing things wrong all the time, hated them, then never realized their mistake.

Now I know why the Black Omen never looked right to me.

After seeing this so many times I don't remember which way I originally saw him as a kid. Now all I see is two heads stacked ontop of each other.
 
This and the Brock one, how did people not know this? It was pretty obvious misty was in swimwear, I mean water gym.....

I want to know what the hell ppl actually thought she was wearing 😕
Did you miss it? People (here) were surprised that she wasn't holding a Pokeball, not that she's in swimwear

because she is very clearly wearing a bikini
 
I think it was pretty obvious he was shirtless, seeing him like that a little shocking, maybe a more menacing brock than the series in that time for me
 
Even Pokémon got CENSORED, smh. I'm not buying a Pokémon game again if it doesn't feature bikini Misty and shirtless Brock.

No but really, I always knew this. It wasn't until Yellow that Pokémon started imitating the (hugely popular) animated series. I like those early designs better.

Exactly, even though my hands were smaller when the N64 came out (I was 12 or 13), to me it just didn't feel comfortable at all to hold the controller from the middle. I've tried many times but couldn't bring myself to play like this.

Wait what?

Is there official art that confirms this? I thought it looked dumb but I accepted it. I don't want to accept this, though.
 
Also, this is pandering. Misty like other girls shouldn't wear a bikini.

It's pandering to have a girl in a water-themed gym surrounded by water... in swimwear?

Aren't most gym leaders adults? except the milktank girl and the twins that use physic types.

Doesn't Misty swim with her Pokemon? Isn't it a big deal to her to be in the water with them?

If only there was a piece of clothing that's sole purpose was to swim in.

She's the water type Gym leader, why not? I assume it's because she spends time in the water/pool training with her Pokemon. Wouldn't you wear swimwear for that?

It's not the attire its the pose.

What's wrong with the pose?

He was specifically talking about the attire... but even then, it's not an particularly sexy pose. If anything she looks annoyed/angry.

I can't believe this discussion is actually happening

etc.....


The amount of people who just did NOT get the joke is physically causing me pain.

No official art, but what me realize it, is the location where you fight Queen Zeal. It looks exactly like the middle part of the overworld sprite, so it made realize where the "summit" of the Black Omen was and what the whole thing really was. When I found out, I searched on Google and I found that fanart above, and also this Minecraft model:

Furthermore, the actual Black Omen dungeon consists of loooooooong corridors mostly going north. There's only like two elevators I think and no stairs at all (unlike the Ocean Palace), so it would be weird for a tower.
