Mars/Quotes

These are Mars's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl

Valley Windworks

• Before battle

"I'm one of Team Galactic's three Commanders. We've been trying to create a new world that's better than this one... But people have shown little understanding about what we do. You don't understand either, do you? It's a little saddening... So, let's have a battle to decide what we should do next. If I win, you leave. If you win, we, Team Galactic, will leave!"

• During battle (the first non-KO hit)

"What do you think you're doing to my Pokémon?!"

• When defeated

"This can't be?! I lost?! You... you uppity brat!"

• After being defeated

"Oops! I messed that one up! That's all right, though. I quite enjoyed our battle. I guess it's time to say good-bye and leave for the time being!"

Lake Verity

• Before battle

"That face...! It brings back bad memories! I'm talking about the windworks! I caught a whole lot of trouble for that little incident. What's with that look on your face? You do remember me, don't you? Fine, whatever. I'll tell you who I am again! I'm Mars, one of Team Galactic's Commanders. So, what is it? Are you some lovey-dovey couple to the rescue? Not a chance! Not even a teeny one! You're all going down!"

• When defeated

"...! Again and again..."

• After being defeated

"I lost again... So, first the windworks, and now Lake Verity that I owe you for! This shouldn't be happening to Team Galactic's Commander..."

"...Calm down, Mars... I've done my part in all of this... My mission was to transport the lake's Pokémon to our HQ... ...That's right! I accomplished my mission without a problem! Team! We're pulling out! The boss is waiting at the HQ!"

"The Pokémon of the three lakes are connected somehow. Thanks to Saturn's grandstanding at Lake Valor, a cavern appeared here. It was the cavern where the Pokémon Mesprit slept. Mesprit appeared, too, probably to go help its friends. That worked out well for us. It was super easy to catch."

"So, now we've got them all: Mesprit, "the Being of Emotion." Azelf, "the Being of Willpower." Uxie, "the Being of Intelligence." Now that we have them all... You can look forward to what plans Team Galactic has for them!"

Spear Pillar

• If the player tries to leave after Cyrus summoned Dialga/Palkia

"You don't think that you can just run off now, do you?"

• If talked to

"Well, hotshot? Now what?"

• Before battle

"There's no need to rush. I can understand you want to battle our boss real bad, but you'll have to go through me first. After all, you've made me look bad more times than I care to remember!"

• When defeated

"Sheesh... I should have done the fighting myself."

Pokémon Platinum

Valley Windworks

• Before battle

"I'm one of Team Galactic's three Commanders. ...No, wait. That's one of four Commanders. My name is Mars! We've been trying to create a new world that's better than this one... But people have shown little understanding about what we do. You don't understand either, do you? It's a little saddening... So, let's have a battle to decide what we should do next. If I win, you leave. If you win, we, Team Galactic, will leave!"

• During battle (first non-KO hit)

"What do you think you're doing to my Pokémon?!"

• When defeated

"This can't be?! I lost?! You...you uppity brat!"

• After being defeated

"Oops! I messed that one up! That's all right, though. I quite enjoyed our battle."

"Will you shut it! The boss is the only person in the world who's allowed to order me around! You can keep quiet around me! You only joined us recently. Don't think you're important! I guess it's time to say good-bye and leave for the time being!"

Lake Verity

• Before battle

"That face...! It brings back bad memories! I'm talking about the windworks! I caught a whole lot of trouble for that little incident. What's with that look on your face? You do remember me, don't you? Fine, whatever. I'll tell you who I am again! I'm Mars, one of Team Galactic's Commanders. So, what is it? Are you some lovey-dovey couple to the rescue? Not a chance!

Spear Pillar

• If talked to

"I'm surprised you actually made it here. You can stay if you promise not to meddle."

• Before battle

"Where do you think you're going? I won't let you disturb our boss. If you're not going to listen, you'll have to go through me first. After all, you've made me look bad more times than I care to remember!"

• When defeated

"Sheesh... I should have done the fighting myself."

"M-Master Cyrus?! Where did he go?!"

Stark Mountain

• Before battle

"Hey! You! Tell us where Master Cyrus went. Where were you after you disappeared at the Spear Pillar?"

"Huh? The Distortion World!? Where Giratina was? You're not making any sense! Don't play that card with me!"

"Fine! You don't want to talk? I'll bash you and make you talk!"

• When defeated

"What's with you?! Do you have a vendetta against me?!"

• After being defeated

"My Pokémon let me down again! How am I supposed to get information about our missing Master Cyrus?"

"OK! That's it for me! I'm going to look for Master Cyrus. The Distortion World, was it called? I should go there, right? I'm quits with Team Galactic. Jupiter, you can deal with it!"

"There you have it. We're going back to being ordinary girls. You can mop up whichever way you want."

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

Battle Tower

• Before battle

"<player>, it's payback time! We've got quite the backlog of scores to settle— and I'm not about to let you off the hook!"

• Being defeated

"That can't be! I lost?!"

• After being defeated

"Calm down, Mars... This is all a dream... Just a bad dream!"

"Once we're done with this, I'd be happy to take you down a few notches like before."
