Pokemon were supposed to feel like strange monsters that researchers were racing to find the origins of. In the earlier gens, they were shown to be existing alongside mundane real-world animals, and some pokedex entries even point out how odd pokemon were compared to animals. From the very beginning you had pokemon like magnemite and voltorb which were obviously not animal-like.
thanks Chatgpt but I didn't ask
>they were shown to be existing alongside mundane real-world animalsprove it
early-gen weirdness
>>750635231Retconned, sorry grampa you gotta get with the times.
>>750635231>In the earlier gens, they were shown to be existing alongside mundane real-world animals,When?And remember, you said games. So no spin-off media or concept art.
>>750635231Magical furries in a saccharine world were simply more marketable.
>>750635231>In the earlier gens, they were shown to be existing alongside mundane real-world animals, and some pokedex entries even point out how odd pokemon were compared to animals.Ancient pokeverse humans slept with pokemon
>>750635627gen 1 pokedex entries reference real life animals
>>750635627this kills the OP
>>750635231rgb and gs are the only canon games if you really care about the original direction of the seriestheres a real split in aesthetics basically like pre and post mario mandatemillennials just cant stand to learn that rse set everything on a differentunova is the perfect blend of early and modern vibes and so its my favorite
>>750635231>mundane real-world animalsFUCK YOU TOO, NIGGA!
>>750635231True, I kinda like that more too now that I think about it. Finding pokemon back then, especially legendaries, felt like you were venturing the unexplored.>>750635512>>750635627>Raichu's earlier pokedex entry mentioning an "Indian Elephant">Several appearances of real world animals in the anime like real fish, worms, and mongooses.>Tons of food in the first season were just real animals like lobsters and other fish.Just watch the first season of the anime. It's clear they didn't have enough pokemon to fill the gap at the time. Later on they retconned all of that shit.

>>750635680When police asks to see your license do you also just reference it?
>>750635782>>Raichu's earlier pokedex entry mentioning an "Indian Elephant"is that also in the Japanese version? because the examples in >>750635863 are not in the original game, it's all localized
>>750635231Isnt god a pokemon now?
>>750635728How is RS's direction any different. DP was when the retardation started.
>>750635231After gen 3 sadly nobody cared about that shit sans the legendaries.
>>750635863>linking bulbapedo
>>750636021No the avatar of god is a Pokemon, not God itself
>tfw you want to buy physical USA brand new in box copies of these gamesI don't really want to spend 5k, though.
>>750636197Why would need brand new boxes copies?
>>750635606Fuck you!!!!
>>750635782>>Tons of food in the first season were just real animals like lobsters and other fish.That makes me wonder, how is food portrayed in later seasons? Is there still meat or is it all vegetarian foods?
>>750636650Sandwiches that you make in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have numerous meat options.
