If there were no trainers, then the next one to lose their soul to a hungry wild Lampet could be you...
Y'know, a Tonberry would fit right in with that crowd.
Awesome reading, thanks for the link.
My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.
He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.
I saw this on Facebook already.
Amusing. But it actually redeems pokemon in my eyes a little
This just reinforces my strong belief that they should have never ventured past the original 151. I don't care about the creepy background some of them have, I'm just disgusted in the lack of creativity with some of these Pokemon. A smurfing candle that evolves into a lamp!? Yeesh.
This twenty-year-old boy was distinguished from childhood by strange qualities, a dreamer and an eccentric. A girl fell in love with him, and he went and sold her to a brothel...
I don't know what you people are talking about; the last pokemon is Mew.
I died.And finally, we have our champion, the brand new title-holder for Most Disturbing Pokemon of All Time. Sure, he doesn't look like much -- a little like Phanto from Super Mario Bros. 2 who's had a few drinks and wants to get in a fistfight -- but wait. Just. Wait.
These Pokémon arose from the spirits of people interred in graves in past ages. Each retains memories of its former life. Each of them carries a mask that used to be its face when it was human. Sometimes they look at it and cry.
All right, let's do this by the numbers.
First, the idea that Pokemon used to be people. This puts a whole new spin on the very idea of this game, in that you're running around bottling up the souls of the dead and releasing them to battle your enemies. Ye cats, those televangelists back in the '90s were right all along!
Second, they retain the memories of their lives. "I used to have a wife. Kids. I spend a lot of time thinking about them, wondering if they miss me. But sure, kid, I'll go punch that lightning squirrel for you. Not like I got much of a choice." This is basically Dante's conception of Hell.
Third, each of them carries a mask that used to be its face. Straight up creepy.
Fourth and final, sometimes they look at it and cry. That. Is. Amazing.
Cubone cries because it misses its mother. That's just understandable. Yamask, however, cries from the sheer existential horror of what it has become while looking at the face it once wore as a human being before it was reduced to its current state, just breaking down under the sheer weight and indignity of all. Oh, and then it evolves into a sentient sarcophagus that kills grave robbers.
I haven't beaten the game yet so I haven't seen the credits, but I am pretty sure these characters were designed by Franz Kafka.
Yeah, I always felt that Gold and Silver had the best balance of number and quality. That said, I don't think the future ones are terrible.
That was very funny. Cubone's always broke my heart.
But when you think about it, your job in Pokemon is to basically go around the wild enslaving small animals to do your bidding by making them fight one another. Just sayin'
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
I've been watching my significant other play Black Version over his shoulder for the past couple of days...... it's a pretty big joke. Pokemon is a face palm fest now.
but I don't see what's so creepy about Duskull's entry..... I too, enjoy the crying of children.
there's no I in team, but there is in pie, as in meat pie, and meat is an anogram of team
