You should be a game programmer, maybe.

isn’t that the fun in Pokemon ? To level up your team and make them the best through effort, at least for me it is

It’s because the ‘meta’ strategies jump so far ahead of the average player experience that cheats feel almost necessary if you want to be hyper-efficient and/or competitive.

It happens with the Dark Souls community too, when they get banned from online for using save-editors it’s usually “how the heck am I supposed to…

On other boards the cheaters are, as always, lamenting that they can’t use their cheat tools and acting like the game isn’t worth playing now. I never understand that mindset.

I always enjoy seeing a thread of people complaining about a specific issue in a recently-released game only for a dev to pop in and let them know that bug specifically only affects people who don’t have legitimate copies of the game.

That doesn’t make any sense. Why in the world would they have to have identical architecture?

Forgetting the old organic Pokéballs, aren’t you?

The problem with this theory is having to take the Pokémon to the hospital considering that the poke ball would be so advanced that it can alter the Pokemon’s state of being without the need of a hospital.

So when you recall a severely damaged pokemon, the pokeball replicates it back damage and all?

It’s like an apartment? So extradimensional travel instead of bits and bytes? Pocket dimensions??? You know, that actually might have merit considering all the dimensional stuff that’s happened/been referenced in the Delta Episode, as well as Sun and Moon.

Yeah, this definitely seems like the only logical explanation of what’s taking place in this completely fictional world of fire-breathing dragons, electric rats, and sentient ice cream cones.

Those words make a seizure inducing Porygon cry.

How do some Pokemon break out of the ball then?

Then why does Pikachu hate being in a pokeball. If there’s no consciousness in the ball, how could it differentiate or experience anything to develop a preference?

If that’s the case then wouldn’t it be pointless to capture Pokemon at all? You could essentially replicate the data. So anyone could just download a copy of a pokemon of their choice and transfer it to a pokeball.

That only happens if you only have one pokémon on your team. You will also get visitors through StreetPass and SpotPass.

WE GET IT. Pokemon is a sanctuary of uncanny valley theories.

Didn’t the Pokémon-Amie screen give us an idea what it is like inside before you decorated it?

Madoka was such a punch in the gut. Had a friend recommend it to me, and after the first two episodes, I asked him “Why am I watching this? It’s just fluffy magical girl stuff.”
