I said that The dynamic doesn't change much. The same general idea is there in the things you quoted right there. I'm not backpedaling. The general idea is the same, and I stand by that. You can pull out your notes from your Pokemon plot dissertation and break every rivalry down and show how different they are but I'm um, still disagreeing with you that the general idea is very different.
The general idea being the same is same enough to cause them to get franchise voted in the contest where Cloud/Seph won't, even if they're not exactly the same.
Does that make sense?
