The plot of Pokemon is the kid bounding down the stairs the morning he turns 10 and announcing that he’s going to do all of those things and the mom is just like, “Fine. Please call sometimes.”

Then his single mom starts spends an inordinate amount of time hanging out with the Pokémon professor...

Don’t forget Mr. Mime…

If Red/Ash's mom married Professor Oak, would he call Blue/Gary (Oak's grandson) his stepson? Stepdad? And would Giovanni (Blue's father) be his stepfather? Stepson?

And why does Game Freak refuse to answer my emails?

It would be extremely Star Wars/Everyone Important Is Related of them but I believe that it is a step sibling rivalry

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Bow chica wow wow...

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

The show, yes. The game is more like the comic.

[-] suite403@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Stole the plot of Earthbound I see.

[-] Phoenix3875@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago

Or if you link up with your mom's PhD boyfriend, you have a choice between a lizard someone set on fire, a different lizard with a fungal infection, or a regular ass turtle.

[-] lowered_lifted 7 points 1 day ago

that ass turtle is a powerful turtle, water starters are slept on

[-] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Uh, it's not a lizard with a fungal infection, it's clearly a frog/plant symbiote. Gosh

Which is why the plot is bad ass. Its like being a viking without killing folks.

And that's why Pokemon ZA setting sucks ass...

Seriously? We're going to be in an urban city environment the entire game?....

[-] Rampsquatch@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 days ago

My favorite thing about the internet right here. Games not even out yet and it sucks ass/is the second coming of Christ. There is no in-between.

[-] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

With how badly TPC has been handling the franchise the past few years, expecting the next games to be bad is pretty reasonable

[-] Rampsquatch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

You're probably right, however I reserve judgement on things untill I have actually experienced them. I fully expect it to be a disappointment somehow, but I don't know that it will be.

SETTING

I didn't say the game itself sucks but the SETTING does based on everything they have shown us (100% urban environments)

Before you talk about in-between maybe read everything in it's entirety first.

[-] Rampsquatch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

I did read your comment in it's entirety. My opinion is the same, and also not as about you as you seem to think.

[-] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

games not even out yet and it sucks ass.

This you?

Also when you say "right here" you are directing at me and what I said.

[-] Rampsquatch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

I see you've taken part of what I said out of context. Good for you.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

there's a Pokemon game with South Africa as the setting?

[-] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

hahahahaha good one

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 2 days ago

... Also your Mom is banging the guy who gave her the rat.

7th gen:

mom can i go do this island's ritual of growing up right after i moved into this place?

Sure hon, have fun!

and then they went into alternate dimension to stop their friend's crazy mom

[-] devfuuu@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Isn't the plot that he is in a coma and dreaming all of it? 😌

No, that's just a fringe fan theory

[-] errer@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

That’s why Pikachu is electricity based, he represents all the stuff plugged into the unconscious boy in the hospital

[-] lowered_lifted 6 points 1 day ago

I mean ashs mom is a single mom and he's a latchkey kid so he probably drank hose water and grew up to vote republican (I think Shinzo Abe's party is that in Japan)

[-] drathvedro@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

Forgot this comic, thought it was about ratshaker

[-] greenskye@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago

This would be funnier without the last panel
