A Time Before by Mewsea

Look, I'm a pretty forgiving person, but there are a few things I can't forgive, and Pokemon/animal abuse is one of them... And unfortunately, Spinel does just that.

Still, I want to believe there's some good in Spinel, even though it's hard.

I don't know what he can do to redeem himself, but understanding where he went wrong is probably a good start.

It's such a shame, too, because I really like his design, and his partner Umbreon is one of my faves.

@PineappleChan_ Yeah, he's a villain. Probably the most evil one I've seen because he doesn't care if his poor Umbreon gets hurt. :(

He created a product that makes Pokemon more powerful, but it also puts the Pokemon in pain. And he used it on Umbreon. :'(

He has no redeeming qualities, honestly. Other than his looks and his Pokemon.

I don't think he'll get a redemption arc, but it's fun to think about.

Oh my gosh that sounds so AWEFUL ToT No redeeming qualities other than his looks , I honestly love that lolololl He is so fine though let me b real here but tis ashame that looks can be also so deceiving *sighhh* :pensive:
That would b so cool to see him grow to be a better person in the show though . And if there was a trainer to teach him and show him the ways of the power of friendship w his pokemon or something like that . Or even learn it from his umbreon :pleading_face: :rainbow: :sparkles:

@lemonpoundcake Oh, I watch it, alright. I watch it because I can't wait for the English dub, haha!

I actually knew Umbreon was called Blacky in Japanese. I can't remember where I learned that from.

But hearing the Japanese names for the first time in the anime is so confusing. 'Cause I gotta remember everyone's names so I don't get lost later. XD
