Here's an honest question to as many regulars in this thread as possible interested enough to answer.

How would you feel about an "Adventures" adaptation?

It would be really great to get an Adventures adaptation, but I don't see it happening, unfortunately.

But it still has a better shot at happening than a Colosseum anime adaptation. *sigh*

I like Adventures, but man does it get weird. Like, real weird, even for Pokemon. An adaptation would be neat, but I don't think they'd be able to start with Red, Green & Blue. Either viewers that didn't grow up with Pokemon would probably be confused as to why there are only 1st gen Pokemon, or at least weirded out, or they'd have to adapt the series to include some of the later gens. I guess Let's Go only had 1st gen, but still, it seems weird to me.

It would work with a few minor changes in order to better update it with today. Like, how Pika made Brock's Onix fall to pieces with a Thunderbolt being one of the main issues addressed.

Some recommended alterations would be:
  1. Pika uses Iron Tail instead, which he learned on his own, denoting him as a special kind of Pikachu.
  2. Misty isn't filthy rich and doesn't have a gaggle of maids at her beck and call. Instead, she has gym staff that help her. She still gives Red her Gyarados, but only after they do some training to help raise his team's levels.
That's only from the top of my head. There are others, of course, but certain parts can be skipped.
 
There’s a neat BDSP switch lite coming out. I may just get it since I dont own a switch but really liked Pokemon Diamond.

Also for some autistic reason the UK exclusively has remakes of the original pre order stylus toppers and they dont ship overseas.

Good thing i dont pre order games anymore since bdsp is twice the cost of the original.

So, did they actually add an alphabet soup character to the franchise? Because someone is asking for one...And a nonbinary Pokemon, despite the fact that genderless Pokemon already exists.

Yeah, we do have an alphabet soup character.

But on a slightly more serious note, let's go over what the article is asking for.

Nonbinary.png


Sorry, non-binary Pokemon? As in, not male, and not female? ... Are you serious? Hey, remember that joke answer, unown? It's non-binary! It's literally genderless, how can you get any more non than the absence of? You're right article, that is a child's plea, because that child can't comprehend what they're asking about.

There are actually not one, but two trainers that are ambiguously gendered, and have popular theories about them being trans. Lorelei and Will are debatable, even though it's a popular theory, but you can't not mention Bugsy.

HeartGold_SoulSilver_Bugsy.png


His in-game data "mistakenly" refers to him as a girl, and it's kind of his only personality trait that he looks like a girl, to the point of Gold in Adventures asking him out on a date. Now maybe that's not extremely blatant, but why would it be? Do they want a character to spot you on the road and go "Hey there, I'm a Pokemon trainer! By the way, I'm ftm transgender."? I would think the best way to introduce a transgender or non-binary character in Pokemon is to just... not mention it? I thought the point of being trans is that people don't know you're trans, that they automatically assume that you're the gender you identify as. Probably not the thread for this talk.

...Still! Non-binary Pokemon? They can literally be genderless! What more do you want?! A Tauros to cut his dick off? A Jynx to be able to be found as genderless and unbreedable?

There is also Ilima, the Normal Trial Captain in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon.

Ilima - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia

I would also add Wallace, bu that is just me.

There is also the unofficial non-binary protagonist in Pokémon Uranium.

To be fair, the non-binary option in Uranium isn't really made out to be a big deal at all in-game because it's literally never brought up (I think all it does is just switch the player's pronouns to "they" the very few amount of times their not called by their name), and the sprite they use for it is just some kid with a ponytail in gender neutral clothing.

WTF, I still have my OG Palkia stylus after all these years and now only the tea drinkers get the new ones? I'd actually just order one on it's own if I could, but I'm not paying $300 for one from some scalper on ebay.

Yeah its stupid. I still have my old Dialga stylus and the paintjobs on the original ones were not the best with that comically huge stylus but still the shit and far better than most of the "pre order bonuses" that have came out ever since.

Customer service telling some brat that they'll add non-binary Pokémon and gay NPCs is literally empty words. Also, what child is asking for "non-binary Pokémon" and not a Pokémon based off of Fortnite or something?

A child seeking approval from a narcissistic parent aggressively pushing a selfish, fantasy-world agenda.
 
I'm almost positive the Mystic leader in Pokemon Go is some flavor of nonbinary canonically. Either that or there's been so much sperging about it on Twitter I have accepted it as fact.
