Haven't played this game in a while, and yet still had such a detailed, bizarre dream about it last night.
It was a ranger quest. Basically they were complaining about a giant pokemon terrorizing the area (or something? it was a dream, pretty hazy details) and asked us to put an end to it.
Eventually I (still playing the game in my dream mind you) stumbled upon a weak ratata. I somehow realized it was injured from the giant pokemon and wanted to tag along with us for the mission and wanted revenge.
Eventually I found the giant 'pokemon' (it looked kind of like a golem, but amorphous and cloudy, idk dreams are weird) and the game forced me to send out the ratata against this thing that was level 100. A level 100 Golem looking amorphous cloud.
That's when I realized the ratata was only level 1, was nicknamed David, equipped with a focus sash, and only knew the moves endeavor and quick attack. I of course immediately knew what to do, and anyone actually reading this is probably aware of where my brain was going with this in this dream lol.
Upon defeating the 'goliath' pokemon, I turned in the quest and got the focus sash item as a reward.
The dream turned weird and unrelated after that; I think it involved an old friend from middle school and something about a thumbtack.
Pretty sure this dream occurred because I watched a video recently that mentioned this infamous strategy about a lvl 1 ratata beating a lvl 100 mewtwo on smogon, and I guess this game left enough of an impression on me that I dreamed about it months after finishing current content.
Anyway, I woke up and decided I'd share this because I found it hilarious. Idk, maybe it'll give the dev an idea for a future quest or something.
