Team rocket is saying hello to my little friend again!

Pokémon Go to the polls and vote for Octillary

Political power comes from the barrel of a pokemon

The remoraid octillary evolution finally makes sense now

Water cannons are not guns

yeah okay however "pokemon but you can murder not-pikachu with an assault rifle" just doesn't roll off the tongue the same way

Palworld would be a thousand times cooler if they used this and things like Mantine's under-wing Remoraid Remington turrets to have a proper interpretation of Pokemon organized militarily rather than for sport combat. Like, little monkeys using pistols and big monsters carrying guns larger than a human can wield is valid, but by itself that doesn't use the material a tenth as well as it could be. Are there even psychic types using telekinesis for their weapons or anything? What about Pokemon physically being weapons like Dragapult uses? Some little Fairy Pokemon handling reloading for you? So much wasted potential.

Digimon has deputymon, Yu-Gi-Oh has barrel dragon, Yokai Watch has cupistol, etc. I wonder which creature collector franchise doesn't have guns
