This piece was done by dragga - all credit for it goes to him.

The scenario: Mewtwo, who was killed in the nuzlocke run of (insert douchebag artist here), was brought back to life by Ozy, in a special Masterevive ball. Mewtwo is now a permanent resident of The Laugh Track - a world Ozy created and controls, in which permanent death simply does not happen. Ozy often brings characters from other worlds who meet unfair deaths into his own realm to live happier lives in a much less cruel continuum, and upon hearing what had happened to him in these nuzlocke runs, decided to do something about Mewtwo's predicament.

Mewtwo is still stunned by his sudden return to consciousness, but once he realizes no true harm can come to him in the Laugh Track, at any point in his now-eternal existence, he'll quickly warm up to just how wild and crazy things get there.

This piece is a sort of "fuck you, I reject your reality and substitute my own" in response to what is an unfortunately popular fad within the Pokemon fandom. Many people are doing an alternative gameplay run called the nuzlocke challenge, in which Pokemon on your team that faint are considered dead and have to be released or permanently boxed. This in and of itself is bad enough, for reasons I'll get into later - those who do take up this challenge generally consider all legendaries evil for one reason or another, and decide to slaughter them. This leads to artwork of such slaughterings, and the potential for new Pokemon fans to have their minds warped into thinking that nuzlocke is the way the games should be played, and legendaries should be killed instead of bonded with.

After talking with about a number of things, we came to the realization that he hates the idea of nuzlocke as much as I do. "Anyone who takes part in the Nuzlocke challenge has no right to view themselves as true fans of the series, and that if you need the risk of losing your Pokemon every time you battle to forge a bond, you're a bit messed up in the head." - his statement, and one I wholly agree with.

There were so many nice little details here - the modified Master Ball, example, has an additional color - the color of a Revive in the series...something Ozy does on a regular basis, and something often discarded in nuzlocke runs. The lemniscat (infinity symbol) on the ball was also a nice touch...as was having it be a Master Ball, if for no other reason than between Mewtwo's color scheme and the normal difficulty of a Mewtwo cpature, it's just fitting.

I've commissioned many things over the years I've been here. A good number of them have been fap fodder; others celebrating an accomplishment or milestone, others as gifts or nods to things that have happened or will happen in real life. This...this is as important, if not moreso, than most of those.

For those looking for additional challenge in their Pokemon gameplay, there are so many other ways to do so without going against the spirit of the series.

I'm just glad that now I got to speak my mind on this in a meaningful way.

Here's hoping that Mewtwo's return to the spotlight and a hopeful return to the world of Smash means that those of us worried about what comes from the fan realm no longer have to do so.
