(The bad girls aren’t alone in this regard; see Mel Gibson, Isaiah Washington.) What we’ve forgotten is that rehab is supposed to result in rehabilitation. Hence the name. Rehabilitating one’s life, when it’s broken and damaged, is not just a weekend stay. I never went to rehab....

Weather has been a key feature in the Pokemon franchise going all the way back since Pokemon Gold and Silver. Weather plays a key role in combat, with certain weather modifying or unlocking moves.
