The Elitist's Least Favorite Video Game Moments: Pokemon Black/White

I love this Pokemon Game. Probably my favorite since Red/Blue back in the day. The game is so new and creative. The towns are gorgeous, the sprites are animated, the move animations are pretty (if sometimes a little too long), but these are all things I already mentioned in a previous article. There was a part that made me say mean things, to cute looking creatures.

Specifically, this one. Look at that. Pure. Evil.
You can see the hate in its baby killing stare. That is the face a true monster. Only a monster from the lowest depth of hell could cause such a stir of loathing in my soul. Contemptible, hateful, nefarious, obscene, pernicious, repugnant, repulsive, revolting, vicious, vile, villainous, wicked, wrathful and wrong; Thy name is Emolga. 

Think I'm being to harsh? Then please stick your head somewhere devoid of sunlight. I care not.

Let's take a look at Emolga. A small, quick, flying, Electric Type Pokemon. What would we need to beat an electric type Pokemon? A Ground Type Pokemon. What type of Pokemon is almost entirely immune to Ground Type attacks? A Flying Type Pokemon. See the stupid? Well, that's only step one. Emolga is reminiscent of a Pikachu, a quick little mousey type Pokemon. Having a high Speed, gives them the opportunity to attack first a majority of the time. Which wouldn't really be a problem, just have a strong  Pokemon (who is weak to niether Electric nor Flying: another Electric Type, a Ground Type, or some random type like Fire.) who can whittle Emolga down right? Well, the Nimbasa City Gym Leader, Elesa,  has three Pokemon. Two Emolga's and a Zebstrika. 
Here, enters the primary problem. All three Pokemon have an ability known as Volt Switch. What it does, is

A) A Fuck Ton of Damage (technical terms, you know)
B) Switches out the Pokemon that used Volt Switch for the next Pokemon in line.

So, the fight goes a little something like this...
VOLT SWITCH VOLT SWITCH VOLT SWITCH VOLT SWITCH VOLT SWITCH VOLT SWITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or if you have freaking, nearly level 30 Pokemon because you grinded until your damned fingers bleed and your eyes turn into jelly, then the fight looks like this if you bought the "Super Japanese Deluxe" version. I made that up. I doubt it exists. It should.
