“CMC: The Next Generation” is a fanfic that needs more attention. The amount of effort put into writing a story like this deserves praise, even if I personally disagree with some of the choices it makes.

Talk about a stressful situation. There's a way to be on a teams call and a way not to be.

Weren't Discord, Trixie, Starlight, and Sunset given multiple chances when they turned evil? Every villain deserves redemption and those videos show that Cozy, Tirek, and Chrissy could change!

I would like to believe that they can, the problem is they've shown a pattern that tells us otherwise. Sunset, Starlight and Discord have made a genuine effort to make amends, but Tirek and Chrysalis did not, and that's why they ended up getting turned to stone, a severe punishment even for a show as whimsical as My Little Pony, yes, which is why people got angry about Cozy Glow sharing the same fate despite her being a juvenile pony, why couldn't they just remove her magic then send her to a rehab center? turning a child to stone as punishment, even in a circumstance where they became a threat, is a bit extreme.

 But I also see the other side of this, having statues of offenders in Equestria sends out a clear message that they do not tolerate aggression. which I think is fair. What would you do, if you were in that fantasy world? at least being turned to stone they have the possibility of reform at a later time, which is preferable to say, execution, which would be too dark MLP FIM. When all other attempts of de-escalating a situation have been exhausted or are not practical, a difficult choice needs to be made, actions have consequences and not everything can be fixed without violence.

Wowza that's a....well....that's a shocker. On one hand I won't miss her because she used to trash talk me behind my back around the office when I was new but on the other she was very very knowledgeable.

I know very little about Pokemon, why do people love Gengar so much?

Not sure, Gengar is difficult to get without trades in Pokemon games, at least in earlier generations I remember this to be the case. Without a trade, the only alternative in gen 1 and 2 is to cheat. But I am doing a 100% legit playthrough of Pokemon Crystal since my new save file got made a few weeks ago after replacing the battery in the cartridge.

Gengar is powerful, and can learn a variety of powerful moves like Gigadrain, Shadow Ball and Toxic.

But the aforementioned limitation means without cheat codes, if you don't have a friend to trade with or if you don't have a second game console with a system link. Back then this made sense as it gave Game Freak a means of encouraging purchasing other versions of those games, but now, it's a dated concept that makes some Pokemon nearly impossible to get for some people.
