Personally, I'm thinking that there will be a sequel/sequels to Apollo Justice and that we'll find out then.

Poor Polly didn't get much characterization in AJ, and the way the game's story played out led me to think there'll be a sequel.

At least, I'm hoping there'll be a sequel. xD

A sequel is what the series needs. Otherwise, Capcom are idiots.

Okay, okay. Here's my idea;

Spoiler: Apollo Justice

Actually, now that I've written it out, it seems kinda lame...

This might explain why Apollo looks up to Phoenix at the start of 4-1.

Yeah, it seems like a pretty good idea.

I have a theory as well, but that's going into my sprite comic, and I don't want to spoil it.

No, cause Apollo seemed pretty clueless about the '7 years ago' thing, and never really expressed any opinion of whether Phoenix was innocent of the forgery. [except in 4-4 of course].

That part makes less sense, it's just the "inspired by Phoenix's trial" part I was referring to.

I didn't really think of that. Maybe the only reason he asked Nick about it was because he wanted to hear it out of his own mouth? ... wait, that's wrong. Okay, you got me. :yogi:

I always thought it was weird that Apollo was working with Kristoph, the best defense attorney, when he was (is) a rookie with basically no clue (but don't get me wrong, I love him! He just needs to... "pollysh" his skills a bit, by the time of 4-3 he's starting to become something). One would think he'd need a lot of experience first or anything before working with someone with such a reputation. There has to be an explanation for that, perhaps why he even became a defense attorney in the first place.

I agree with your theory.... And I also beleive that there MUST be sequals.... At least one!! Oh please oh please....

I'm a huge Apollo fan, I really would like it if they had some front facing sprites of him too... they only have one... T.T
But with a new game of his he could possibly have those... Hmmm, but I really did have some questions left unanswered at the end of the game... Some I don't beleive would get answered... D:

Spoiler: 4-2

Spoiler: 4-4

Anyways... yeah, those questions and others need answering....
But I'm pretty sure Apollo idolized Phoenix for whatever reason and became an Attourney because of that... :odoroki:

I have always thought that he became an attorney because of Phoenix. I hope that we get a good reason in AJ 2 why Polly looks up to him that much.

awwwwww yeaaaaaaa~ defense attorneys get all the girls~

My theory involves going into his past~

So he was affiliated with something not-to-legal [gang, mafia, drugs, murder, etc] and he goes to court one day and maybe feels like he needs to turn his life around for the better. Like he's in debt to the law for helping him or for the attorney who helped him. Or he's trying to make amends. Becoming an attorney seems to be a good way to go!

That's my abridged version anyway. The full thing might be a little long and or complicated. xD

Or simply, he was propelled to make his last name seem ironic to his trade.... :/

My theory is very similar. Well, one of them, anyway. I have a few that are far too out there to make any sense at all. XP

I'm sure Apollo has a reason in his childhood of earlier years of why he would want to become a defense attorney, and follow the definition of his name. Apollo has a good heart, honest intentions, and perseverance; the making of a great defense attorney.

Maybe Apollo was accused of a crime when he was a kid (a minor one, like shoplifting or something) and while he wanted his attorney to tell the truth, he instead lied to try and get him off the hook. Furthermore, the prosecutor pulled some dirty tricks. Of course, Apollo got arrested for the crime.

So he became a defense attorney to discern the truth. Lamiroir did say she could feel his gaze "unwavering, always staring straight at the truth".
