Making real animals "nonexistant" after gen1 was THE dumbest shit they did with their worldbuilding. If anything, they could've "character-ise" or "humanise" pokemon way more easily without resorting to furries with actual, dumber and blander-looking animals around.

I mean, to be fair, this was gen 1. Y'know, back when a good bit of the animals that showed up there didn't have a pokemon equivalent yet. I guarantee you that if all the pokemon that we have now somehow existed back then, the realistic animals wouldn't be there. Besides, I perfer the toony look of the pokemon.

Lobsters.
Just imagine, now-a-days it'd be something like a Corphish, or Crawdaunt.

Maybe not them. Corphish and Crawdaunt are based on crawfish. We don't have a lobster pokemon... yet.

So, to have some fun and spice it up a little... Shall we talk about the Joe Merrick and Distant Kingdom pissing contest that's going on?

Apparently, some dink name Shyguymask99 (if you don't know who he is, he's the joker who's a massive DK shill, and someone who promoted that fake information about Gamefreak being overworked with 100 hour work weeks) is making an 'expose' video on Joe Merrick.

Merrick gets wind of it, and makes this interesting take:

Joe Merrick on Twitter

“Been made aware that one of the people who was continually on at me towards the end of last year is to do an "expose video" on me. That'll be fun to see, and against YouTube ToS. 2020...new year, same crap. Let's Be Better than this for the rest of this year, everyone :)”

Then our good old friend from the dog pound, Verlisify made a video:

Pokemon Community Update

Hopefully one day people wake up and realize there are massive problems with the Pokemon community. Looks like major influencers in Pokemon don't want to mak...

And then you've got DK praising verlisify...

“I can't believe I'm about to say this but... Verlisify... made sense 🤯😵 Everything he said about Joe is actually 100% accurate, to my surprise. He should definitely try and tell the truth more instead of relying on 'graphic maps' for arguments 😂 https://t.co/J9UgITtuFl”

So, thoughts on this trashfire of dicks, weebs and furries?

Honestly good, E-Celebs are the only fags who benefit from annualization of the franchise to make constant trash content. them eating each other is a positive.
if you are going to make vids, don't pump them out daily or any of that gay shit, take your time for production. or in Joe's case actually learn HTML and update your 90's era web design you Boomer
also Joe is a bitch for evoking that shitty new YT policy no one likes to protect his image, such a pussy.

But there were a dog and worms, both of which had clear gen1 pokemon counterparts, and birds, too. And fish.

If you think about it, the "Indian elephant" that a number of early dex entries mentioned could easily be retconned to mean Copperajah. While it debuted in Galar, the lore mentions it came from another region long ago, and its design is already based on Indian elephants.

Alright, then my original point still stands, we are yet to have a lobster pokemon.

Between Corphish, Clauncher, and Crabominable, a lot of the space that lobsters could fill has been covered.

Unrelated, but TemTems is apparently open for a stress test Right Now, so if any kiwis want to try it out, now is a good time.

I probably said this before, but SwSh is like, the first draft of a potentially great game. Chairman Rose’s plan isn’t inherently stupid, it just doesn’t really work with the Galar that we see.

In order for his plan to make sense, the whole environmentalism theme needs to be turned up to 11. The mine shouldn’t be this nice clean cave filled with glittering jewels, it should be dark, burnt-out, and absolutely crawling with poison types. Instead of being a literal fucking hallway, Spikemuth should have been an industrial city full of massive smoking factories just pumping pollution into the air. There should have been at least one heavily polluted body of water where using the fishing rod will just give you Grimers instead of your typical water types. They could have also done more Galarian forms in line with Corsola, where it’s an existing Pokémon that’s been negatively affected by urbanization/industrialization - be it an old grass type turning into a grass/ghost with wilted yellow leaves, or a water type turned into a poison type with the suitable design changes. Hell, they could even reference the Pepper moth by adding a grey/black Galarian Butterfree that you can obtain by evolving it inside Spikemuth. Galarian Corsola is literally a fucking dead Corsola, so it’s not like these ideas are too edgy for a Pokémon game.

If it were shown that the industrialization of Galar was unsustainable and having a clearly visible negative effect on the environment and Pokémon, then Rose’s willingness to go THAT far for a clean energy source would make sense. As it is now, it’s like... oh yeah, everything’s going great, but the environment MIGHT be fucked a thousand years from now, so let’s summon a literal eldritch abomination that may very well destroy our entire country.

If we’re gonna delve into more fan fiction territory, I would’ve based that aspect of Rose on Elon Musk. He’s completely confident in his own abilities and literally doesn’t even consider that things going wrong with his plan is actually a possibility, which leads to reckless actions with severe consequences. This could involve making him a bit younger and more douchey, to the point that he can sort of serve as a direct counter to Leon’s “actually just a nice guy”. “Arrogant genius with good intentions who fucks shit up due to his own hubris” is a lot more interesting of a villain archetype than “guy who seems nice but actually has a nefarious plan”.

Maybe Rose can sense something that everyone else thinks is BS until 20 years later when everyone starts thinking "Hmmmm....maybe he was onto something after all"

In other words, he'd be the Pokemon world equivalent of Al Gore.

I don't see how Temtem will work in the long run, you can pick your player's gender but the monsters are still only male and female. Someone is just bound to get upset by the difference.

People were upset for all of 5 seconds when it was revealed that G-max Eevee's move only attracts Pokemon of the opposite gender still. If some troon screeches about no monsters having a special snowflake gender nobody's going to give a shit.

Had a chance to try it out during their Friday stress test.
The battle system is similar to Pokemon's but different enough that it doesn't feel like a direct ripoff. It's a double battle / stamina based system where you can command your Tem to wait a turn if you're trying to capture or need more stamina. Using a move that would send your stamina into the negatives will cause your Tem to hurt itself. Also, certain moves can only be used after a set amount of turns, usually moves that hit multiple targets.
Overall it was enjoyable for a monster collector.
