History Lesson Time
Aug. 1st, 2010 01:19 amOkay, something else I got annoyed at Pokecommunity. Recently Team Plasma has been introduced, but many people were complaining about how ugly the hoods were and why they were wearing them in the first place. Well, time for Bay to do a little history lesson. Jacob would have done that, but he's at jail now. >.>
The knights would pretty much cover themselves top to bottom for protection, including their heads. Before the knights wore armor, they would wear chainmail. However, underneath the chain mail they wore their clothing and also pads called gambersons that eases the weight of the chain mail. Incidentally, there's a pad to cover your head, which is the hood pretty much. This link here gives a short but nice info on knights and their armor (plus other things): http://library.thinkquest.org/10949/fief/medknight.html
Pretty much yeah, I know a thing or two about knight armor so it annoys me when people say the hoods look ugly and such. Team Plasma's costume maybe not exactly have chain mail or armor, but it's the best representation we got for how a knight would wear in the Pokemon world.
*wonders if people are interested in this little history lesson D:*
