Line 226:
* ''[[Pokémon Platinum]]'': Cyrus captures the [[Olympus Mons|Legendary Pokemon of Time and Space]], and prepares to use them to destroy the universe to end human suffering. Unbeknownst to him, they were [[Rule of Three|two-thirds of a trio]], and the [[Eldritch Abomination|Legendary Pokemon of Matter/Antimatter]], long ago banned from reality and stricken from mythology out of fear, isn't too pleased with him for this...
** In ''[[Pokémon Black and White]]'', {{spoiler|[[The Man Behind the Man|Ghetsis]]}} was not expecting the protagonist to be able to summon the other Legendary Dragon of Unova, nor that the player's relationship to their Pokemon really was [[The Power of Friendship|friendship]], rather than using Pokemon as tools, ''nor'' that this second revelation would cause N to doubt his own cause and [[Worthy Opponent|challenge the player character]] over the validity of their beliefs. As a result, the player ultimately [[Defeat Means Friendship|befriends N]], and {{spoiler|Ghetsis's plan to conquer Unova through [[Fantasy Gun Control]] falls to pieces. And [[Villainous Breakdown|so does he]].}}
* ''[[Red Dead Redemption 2]]'' pulls a nasty one on the player with the side quest, "He's British, Of Course". The protagonist meets Margaret - a male circus performer who dresses like a woman - who needs your help because three of his circus animals - a zebra, tiger, and lion - are loose. {{spoiler|The zebra and tiger are pretty easy to subdue, seeing as they're only a donkey and cougar with dyed fur; it seems Margaret is a charlatan side show owner who uses puckery to attract customers. Thus, when he emphases that he wants the lion alive, you're likely to assume it's another fake, especially since he claims it's from "Tanganyiki" [[As Long Asas It Sounds Foreign|(there is no such place)]]. This time, however, not only is this a ''real'' African lion, it's ''angry''. And sadly, there's no way to safely capture the poor beast alive, the only way to survive this encounter is to shoot it.}}
