The lack of popularity of pebbles as a subgenre of rocks is demonstrated by the 1992 AD Capcom video game, Mega Man 5. This entry contained the robot masters Stone Man and Crystal Man, clever references to stones and crystals, the more popular subgenres of rocks, as well as referencing rocks themselves through Rock, Mega Man's non-robot master name; however, there is a palpable absence of references to pebbles, for instance in the shape of a robot master called Pebble Man. Many pebble enthusiasts have attempted to hack the game, and the timeline, to insert Pebble Man into Mega Man 5, but all have failed due to a lack of crowdfunding. I mean, the boss weapons in Mega Man 5 are beyond worthless as-is; a weapon based on small, smooth pebbles in that game would risk breaching the [[Milward-Maguire limit]], which, as we all know, could trigger an omnishambles-level space-time rupture. So, unfortunate as it is for pebblerebels (the term for pebble enthusiasts) across the world, the fact that these efforts have been unsuccessful is probably for the best. | The lack of popularity of pebbles as a subgenre of rocks is demonstrated by the 1992 AD Capcom video game, Mega Man 5.
