I’ve just watched the first ever episode of pokemon (again) and am rewatching the 2nd. And it just occured to me - why have I never questioned any of the shit that goes on
Like how is Team Rocket never caught in a comically large hot air balloon. Why even is their mode of travel a fucking hot air balloon? Why is their mode of defeat being blasted off (I suppose like a rocket, but still)? Why are they able to continuously survive being catapulted into the air hundreds of times?
Why the fuck has Officer Jenny only now just realised that she’s done some sort of elite motorcycle stunt riding maneuver WITH A TEN YEAR OLD CHILD IN THE PASSENGER SEAT and parked at the front desk of a hospital??
This can’t possibly be legal…
And Nurse Joy’s reaction is literally “Next time use the driveway 
”
daeron i regret to inform you that animals that can only say their name and attack each-other in contests used to settle debates between humans also isn’t realistic
unfortunately animals being forced to fight in order to settle debates between humans is possibly one of the most realistic parts of pokemon
anyway
I also just realised that Ash’s mum has literally sent a ten year old child out with nothing but his disobedient pikachu to go to an entirely different city - this has to be neglect
The harmless portrayal of electricity in Pokemon is also probably a massive concern for child safety lmao
real
did you forget the part where they can only say their names though
TRUE…
Don’t you love it when the engineering professor gives you 4 points out of ten points for a written question and then he crosses that out and writes “reasonable”
bro it was definitely after you were born by at least 5 years unless I’m really really wrong about how old it is
Orannnnnngeeee
sup
yeah it’s from 2012 lmfao
Like real animals have a more broad language…
It’s not impossible that people named each species based on what sound it makes the most.
(like it’s pretty possible, there is a place where people are calling cats as Nya/meaw or dogs as woofs… or something like that)
it would be cool
hey I’m petting my … right now *shows hand with snail*
Chomppop
What are you petting
Pet me!!!
