We're really just never going to see Typhlosian again because of some leaked document?
I'm going to be honest, I liked those stories from the documents. They felt like real myths and legends in the pokèmon world. So what if they were weird and fucked up? So is real mythology.
This is obviously fake tweet lol
I'm stupid
Aren't we all
Yeah the one with the Slakoth baby is a pretty formulaic swan wife/fox wife/selkie story with a few variations.
iirc, Pokémon and Human relations were actually canon in some of the DS games, but only in the original japanese version. For the US version they changed some words to be more like: "Back in the day Pokémon were more closer to humans, they ate in the same table, did the same things and were good friends". But in the japanese version they basically said that humans would date and marry pokémons.
I still think it's fucked up what they wrote in the leaked doc, but I don't think they should remove Typhlosian for something that is not even canon or appeared in any game or media. But knowing Nintendo, I guess Typhlosian is going to get the Porygon treatment, and never show up again in any bigger role other than some random pokémon.
That more or less just makes Pokemon equivalent to Kitsune or some Kami.
Basically yokai from what I can tell, just more ~~physical~~ corporeal; did NOT think about that phrasing til I hit post
Sappho and her Pokémon
Just read the documents and- agreed. I actually really like the stories, they bring a immense degree of life (historical life, cultures, the development and beliefs of civilization in the series and how their ancients saw the world around them).
They might not be the best fit for as mainstream/""family friendly""/etc of a franchise as Pokemon (more financially/possibly decreasing the target audience a little bit) but if they were obscure lore/etc ingame it would honestly be really cool.
I agree with you that the little tales in the leaks do actually fit the style of real mythology, which is full of stories about freaky sex from incest to bestiality to tree-sired pregnancies and self-cest.
Imo this is just an example of why these attempts at story-driven immortal franchises will inevitably collapse under their own weight. Pokemon initially worked fine as a sort of amusement park reality where there isn't really any focus on the wider world or its history, but as these weird amalgamated corporate franchises get bigger than their original scope, they run out of material to grow up with, and they start to just grow in every other direction instead. It's why your favorite Netflix series starts to fill its runtime with episodes devoted to giving every side character, no matter how irrelevant, a full developmental arc--the "universification" of settings
Word. For my archaic Millenial ass Star Wars is this. EVERY SINGLE EXTRA IN EVERY SCENE is a secret hero of the republic jedi who escaped the purge and is involved in secret rebellion business, as revealed in Tales of the Jedi issue 42069 originally published in 1993 and elevated to C canon by Disney in 2017.
Woke ruined pokemon years ago anyway. I don't remember any of them having genitals since the original 151. Pikachu doesn't even have a penis in the new games.
Penachu
Pikachu used to have the best penis. I remember writing to the anime studio and telling them that I hate political correctness and it'd piss off the libs if they made Pikachu's penis large enough for me to see it in every scene. I wouldn't have to draw it on paper and put it on the tv screen it'd always be there if it was bigger. Liberals would hate that and also bulbasaur's. I wrote lots of letters about bulbasaur.
Whenever Pikachu's penis is not on screen, all the other characters should be asking, "where's Pikachu's penis?"
They should stop the show until it's visible again. Everyone should stand there until the camera zooms in or the artist makes it bigger.
You would like the design on a lot of Gen 5 mons, then. For example, Beartic.
Beartic is where woke won. All pubes, no penis. Compare that to charmander.
apologize
I have faith my boy Typhlosion will beat the alegations
