Saturn/Quotes

These are Saturn's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl

Valor Cavern

• Before battle

"The mission is proceeding without a hitch. The boss should be pleased. Everything is for everyone, and for the good of Team Galactic!"

"I recognize your face! You're the child who raided the Team Galactic Building in Eterna! Humph! Jupiter should be ashamed of herself, being beaten by a child. But anything that opposes Team Galactic must be crushed! Even the very thought of opposition will not be tolerated!"

• When defeated

"You, my friend, are tough! I can see why you defy us so..."

• After being defeated

"Gah! Even I, a Commander, only managed to buy us time? But that's fine. A child like you will never be able to stem the flow of time! Team Galactic will get the three legendary Pokémon of the lakes! With their power, we will create an entirely new universe! By now, Mars should have captured the Pokémon of Lake Verity..."

Team Galactic HQ

• Before battle

"You... You came all the way here just to save some Pokémon? ...Though its nothing new, I can't say I understand our boss... Why would he let a kid like you come and go freely...? We, Team Galactic, take all that we need, and eliminate what we do not. But anyway. You've taken the trouble to come. Let me welcome you! Consider it payback for insulting me at the lake."

• When defeated

"You're tough, kid! But, I still pity the likes of you."

• After being defeated

"...Gah! What makes you so tough? Fine... Do whatever you want with those three Pokémon. Press the button on that machine to set them free."

"Press the button and set them free. Isn't that why you came?"

"Our boss crafted a Red Chain from crystals he took from the three Pokémon. That Red Chain is what he needed to shackle something on Mt. Coronet. It's also apparently needed for creating something. But that's all I know. Who knows what he's planning to do up there."

• After the Spear Pillar events

"So, it's you...
I've heard about you and what took place at the Spear Pillar.
What our boss really wanted... Even I don't know that.
His confident manner of speaking... His logical words...
I think people just became so enthralled by him.
I allowed myself to believe his words because I wanted to see the world he intended to make.
I've been left in charge of this HQ building and the remnants of the membership...
The decision on what Team Galactic should do rests with me...
But I've learned that extremism is never the solution..."

Pokémon Platinum

Valor Cavern

• Before battle

"The mission is proceeding without a hitch. The boss should be pleased. Everything is for everyone, and for the good of Team Galactic!"

"I recognize your face! You're the child who raided the Team Galactic Building in Eterna! Humph! Jupiter should be ashamed of herself, being beaten by a child. But anything that opposes Team Galactic must be crushed! Even the very thought of opposition will not be tolerated!"

Team Galactic HQ

(to Charon)

"What are you trying to say?"

(to Charon)

"Gramps. Our boss can do without your kind of moral support."

• Before battle

"You... You came all the way here just to save some Pokémon? ...Though it's nothing new, I can't say I understand our boss... Why would he let a kid like you come and go freely...? We, Team Galactic, take all that we need, and eliminate what we do not. But anyway. You've taken the trouble to come. Let me welcome you! Consider it payback for your insulting me at the lake."

• When defeated

"You're tough, kid! But, I still pity the likes of you."

"Our boss crafted a Red Chain from crystals he took from the three Pokémon. That Red Chain is what he needed to shackle something on Mt. Coronet. It's also apparently needed for creating something. But that's all I know. Who knows what he's planning to do up there."

• After the Spear Pillar events

"So, it's you... I've heard about you and what took place at the Spear Pillar. Our leader, Master Cyrus, hated the very idea of spirit. He hated spirit for being incomplete. And yet, using fiery exhortations, he rallied the spirit of others. What he hated most, he used to control others. Isn't that ironic? That fascinated me. I wanted to see what he would do. And I did. At his side. But it's over. A world without spirit... Who would want such a thing?! So, what now...? What to do with Team Galactic? But I've learned that extremism is never the solution... Perhaps we should really be searching for new sources of energy. Instead of lying about it through our commercials."

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

• Before battle

"Oh, it's you. I suppose I'll set aside our history. For now I am simply your opponent."

"Because when we fought back in Sinnoh, I couldn't defeat you."

"In terms of skill, you may be on par with our boss."

"Perhaps it's my curiosity as a Trainer that makes me wonder what the secret to your power is."

"But what was I thinking, when our boss is facing a crisis?"

"then we won't be able to stay by your side and help you do that!"

"Yes, sir!"
