I think the Beatles are a little too old to be considered contemporary.
The myth of Gandhi being nuke-happy in the original Civilization game was proven by Sid Meier himself last year to have never happened. Kinda niche myth, but that's all I could think of at the top of my head.
I only played about halfway through Platinum. The rest onward was a new experience for me.
Some of the designs of the Pokemon in the game are quite awful, like Graveler.
fuggs supposedly has a boyfriend now, unfortunately. She used to say you make her so wet, which is quite an accomplishment considering she's been complaining about it being so dry down there lately.
I've since diversified my lineup. Got myself a Garchomp and Lucario of my own. Now I'm just grinding in the great underground.
I wanted to get a Spiritomb, but oh my God is the process the most tedious thing ever.
Cynthia, no question. Whitney is a one-trick pony, but Cynthia is very well-rounded. Cynthia would butcher her Miltank into a filet mignon and have her eat it, then wash it down with the Miltank's own Moomoo milk.
I've been playing Brilliant Diamond lately, the first Pokemon game I've played in a long time, and have been coasting throughout the game . . . that is until I made it to Cynthia. Bitch.
