... I just remembered that one book from the Canalave library that more or less said pokephilia used to be normalized in the canon universe in the original Japanese version. 1) awful. thought i repressed that trivia. 2) i wonder if they're going to scrap that line in the remakes...? Hopefully so.

Undoubtedly yes, if they already scrapped it from the English release back in the day then they won't revive it today. It was a weird line about people and Pokémon being indistinguishable in the past from each other and even being married. Whoever wrote it was probably Japanese so no surprise there.

I'm hoping it stays scrapped in the Japanese remake release too. While I always personally thought the line was more about people evolving from some kind of proto-human pokemon, which meant they could interbreed because they haven't actually evolved into humans yet (dumbed down to be explained as marriage since they might have been monogamous lifelong pairs), the common online reading of it is well, common, and frankly disturbing. I don't want to see a resurgence of it again. :(

Oi mate, just because I think justinrpg is a mega retard and funny to clown about doesn't mean I'm gonna cuck him for his RESHIRAYUM waifu.

Obliviously not, justin has already said that Zekrom is his bull because "Reshiram's vagina was designed for zekrom" or something like that. Fucking NTR man...

I think it's an interesting piece of folklore that's unique to Sinnoh (no mention of it being a worldwide thing FWIW), but its vagueness allowed for interpretation, most of which were unfortunate. Pokémon origins are still a mystery, I think the series is still undecided on if Pokémon are actually aliens (or only some species are) or if there was a mutation that allowed for magical creatures to spawn from normal animals. The PokéGods being there from Earth's (or even the universe's) infancy gives a hint they've always been there, but they might not have looked the same back then. Mew being the oldest species and being relatively unchanged evolutionary-wise makes it a missing link of sorts.

It'll have to be something to keep in mind upon reaching Canalave in the remakes. Game Freak went out of their way to erase mentions of real world places and animals in the remakes/reimaginings(?), wouldn't put it past them to make changes to previously-established lore just because the Internet couldn't be a nicer place for once.

...One theory, here.

Maybe they were planning to make DP more open world, but decided to go for a safer option halfway through (in response to SwSh backlash?) and turned to ILCA? Then the open world project was allowed to be more free and experimental, resulting in Legends.

That'd help explain why this is the first spinoff game explicitly set in an existing region. It was meant to be a mainline, and they built sinnoh itself, but they pivoted midway through.

I'm of a similar mind. Interestingly the trailer doesn't bring up a Wild Area or Gigantamax which are the core mechanics of gen 8, and were both critically panned by casual and competitive players alike. Very strange, for GF. Meanwhile, we have a spinoff game set in the same region, announced at the same time, and wholly themed around gameplay featuring open world mechanics. Frankly, I'm optimistic, thought I hope the remakes aren't TOO faithful to diamond and pearl, as they have quite a few problems on their own.

I played some of the earliest games when I was young. I don't play them anymore. (Though I did play a Pokemon-inspired game Nexomon: Extinction fairly recently).

My opinion is that the games were overrated and too much of a childish marketing fad - basically the "catch/trade/battle 100s of Pokemon" was the main gimmick and one-trick pony. Other than that there were just pretty generic and mediocre JRPGs - with little to no plot or character development, and simple "rock/paper/scissors" battles.

In the 2020s, there are many infinitely better RPG games in almost every era beyond the "collect 100s of Pokemon" gimmick - and even in that area, I think that games like Nexomon and Gundam G Generation Cross Rays are better, along with having better plot, characters, combat, etc.

On the topic of Lets Go, I want to voice some thoughts on Pokemon Go. I recently got back into it a couple weeks ago and I use a spoofer client, because I live in a suburban area with very few Pokestops and I don't want to walk a trillion miles to catch a zigzagoon. A day or two ago Niantic announced that they're going to start cracking down hard on cheaters in an upcoming patch and inplying they have a means to detect altered clients, but theres still so much in that game thats fucking broken they could be focusing on instead. Raids are P2W because you only get one raid pass per day, the PVP mode is pretty wildly unbalanced, and no Pokemon spawn outside of cities (outside of using incenses and lures, which are more paid items.)

Besides maybe the PvP mode and certain raids (which lets be honest, you can still win in those if you catch a decent 80IV+ mon and know what moves you need to spam), Pokemon Go is pretty much still a single player game, and I don't get the whiny faggots who complain about spoofers not living in San Francisco or who don't want to (or physically cannot) walk as much as the game demands they do., or the company taking these people's opinions and going on a crusade against people who aren't ruining the game for anybody else while the actual game is in a shitty state.

Is it just that I go to school in a field with a lot of walking or that I drive with it active bc I don’t have those kinds of issues?
Also have a shiny rattata today that I didn’t hunt for
 
Ah shit, here we go again. I swear if this Legends or the remakes suck. I guess I'm done. I'm still salty my beloved Britian got the a crappy region with retarded starters based on it. I didn't even bother trying to get a copy. My mate got it and threw that shit out a week afterwards

I guess I can look forward to throwing end less ultraballs at the Pokemon devil yet again.
