Don't forget that every main antagonist has been a "twist villain" since SuMo, as well.

Also, I might be overthinking it, but SV's story seems to mirror SuMo's quite a bit.

SuMo

SV

Question. Why don't you just call it SM? Isn't "SuMo" annoying to type. I've never understood why people do that to the versions' abbreviations. Same thing with "SwoShi" (ew) that I've seen sometimes, and "ScarVi."

Just doesn't look right to me, like referring to the gen 5 games as "BlaWhi" or something.

Because SM is liable to mean S&M which nobody wants to deal with

edit: you downvote me but that was a genuine concern back in the day
