why expose children to dark stuff like this
Game?
The Bible is full of R rated content, I don't see what the big deal is.

Tell me this /vp/, if Kanto is being supposedly overshilled, why are kids learning about Paras/ect only now, hmmm?

Needs a third evolution where they are in perfect symbiosis, and the games where they speak can have them speak in plural.
back in my day the balloon pokemon kidnapped u and if u looked at the back of the one pokemone it stole ur soul u kids and ur damn beyblades and wheely shoes
>>735609353>cunny balloon
paras... no...
Parasect should have an evolution after Parasect where he become Ghost Grass. Could be cool to see the last stage of those parasite fungi

>>735610061Paras is slowly forgetting Bulbasaur due to the mushroom taking over his mind and body. Those Parasite Fungi dont just eat your body, they actually change your behavior so you WANT to be close to other insects when you die so that it can infect others. It's literally the Last of Us style zombie where those insects will actively try to die in the nest or actively try to die in a high point so the spores reach the highest amount of population.
>>735610061Read the threadWhen paras evolves, it dies and becomes a zombie controlled by the mushroom parasite growing on its back
>>735610148>>735610207I don't get why people are so "oh no" about this. I always thought this was rad as hell, and Paras/ect has been my favourite since I was a kid.I'm also oddly drawn to low tier jank so when it became the only (by now I guess that has turned to "first") evo line in the series to have a potential 5x type weakness, that also made me like it more.
>>735610456Those parasites exist for every insect and can also affect some mammals. Rats can be affect with a similar parasite. It's spoopy and cool to see, but sad for Paras because he's a Sentient Pokemon who will slowly rot away to a Parasect who will have eaten all his memories.
Fungi are the most misunderstood things on this planet. They're the biggest organisms, the cap is just a by-product, they shape our entire world by decomposing lignin and they are fucking evil. They are 100% evil. Their only intent is to do harm to anyone stupid enough to fuck with them.
>>735610704Well they are closer to animals than to plants also, which is weird. They are a weird thing.
>>735610148what does the shattered clock symbolise?
>>735610456>I don't get why people are so "oh no" about this.Because the Paras can speak in this game and it's depressing to hear about it's joy for the future when you know it's gonna die and turn into a zombie.It's like listening to a kid with cancer talk about how he wants to be an astronaut when they're all grown up.
>>735610838
>>735610704I think it is wrong to characterize mushrooms as evil, they have as much right to the soil as any plant-life would and we have all sorts of helpful niches in nature, such as breaking up all those dead trees and animals so there aren't corpses everywhere and returning those nutrients to the soil. Next time you see a mushroom or fairy circle in the woods instead of thinking about how evil they are you should thank the mushrooms for forming the groundwork of the beautiful nature that surrounds you.Also Parasect is one of my favorite background shitmons
>>735610456There's been speculative fiction involving this kind of parasite evolving and affecting humans for ages, X files had an episode long before TLoU. It's scary. I don't want to be nothing but a vehicle for the propagation of some microorganism>looks at cock nervously
>>735610896circadian activity? ants sleep?
>>735610929We almost certainly already are. I recently rewrote my gut bacteria and it totally worked.
>>735610928Deirdre fuck off back to the punishment sphere please.
>>735610964Well the Circadian regulate how you behave around the day too, but yes, ants sleep. "Worker ants take about 250 one-minute naps per day, totaling around 4 hours and 48 minutes of sleep."Them power naps brah. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g54sxJ-qD_k
>>735610928Wait a minute
When a fungus and an ant fight, I as a primate can only hope that they kill each other!
He's already dead. The fungi have already spread throughout his brains. That's also why you can't "cut around" the moldy parts of bread. It's already fucking everywhere. It's fucked. You're fucked.
>>735610872If it makes you feel better, the mushroom is just as sentient as the bug. Also several dex entries specify that parasect feeds off of tree roots, so it's not like it's eating the bug alive despite that it becomes a mindless slave.
aww he's smiling!
>parasect doesn’t eat mushrooms in pokopia it’s even spookier
>>735611101Only true once it evolves to Parasect, Paras has been depicted being able to remove the mushrooms without issue, but the problem is the mushrooms are the only way it can get stronger, so it has no incentive to remove them in its long term.
>>735611125No one ever posts parasect dialog, what does the mushroom talk about
>>735606602Anon, people literally buy gerbils and other short-lived animals as pets so they can be used to explain in a practical sense that death is both permanent and inevitable. Hell, Sesame Street dedicated a sketch to Will Lee who played Mr. Hooper back in the 80s after his death, and decided to have the character die too and use it as a teaching moment about death, and that show is aimed at preschoolers.https://youtu.be/-GoEqVKjDHs?t=2768>>735609305I can see it already.Average /v/irgin loser: "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS NONBINARY SHIT IN MY POKEMON GAME REEEEEEEEEEEEE-">Screenshot of third evo Paraceps being called a they"Anon Paraceps calls itself "we"">Screenshot of Paraceps referring to itself as "we"/v/irgin "REEEEEEE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE REEEEEEEEEEEEE">Paraceps
>>735611152he has unique dialogue with venusaur
>>735611152Parasect in general is incredibly stilted and off in its mannerisms, and has to directly state what its gestures are supposed to convey because it's unable to come off as natural.I dunno about the unique dialogues if it has any though, there's too damn many of them in the game and they're between some of the most random Pokemon combos possible.
>>735611152parasect in pokopia talks things just like other pokemon but in a very weird way like “I. like. living. life.”
>>735606602If I had kids I would prevent them from consuming any goyslop that promotes homosexuality, transexuality, racemixing, the global warming myth, Atheism, free love, or the THEORY of evolution.
>>735606602>causes the apocalypse
Mainline Pokémon: Nooo we can't have any more folklore about people marrying Pokémon that's morally wrongSpinoff Pokémon: You will die someday
>>735606602Children's stuff can have bleak things in them
He deserves a new evolution named Parasocial, he can be based on orbiting simps and the parasitic content streamers
>>735611262That's one thing most people fail to remember about evolution, it is ultimately just a theory and never claims to be fact. Darwin himself was a Christian who disregarded the theory in his later years.
>>735608292Kek what the fuck
>>735611291Better to teach kids that they're mortal than teaching them that it's okay to fuck your dog.
>>735610929>I don't want to be nothing but a vehicle for the propagation of some microorganism>looks at cock nervouslyImagine if things you cum onto grew cock and balls and gave them an urge to also go cum on things.
>>735608292Finally, morbid humor is back
>>735611262>>735611326>>735611362Ever notice how easy it is to pinpoint the exact moment a sub-50 IQ shitposter enters a thread?
>>735611414They don't often just come clean and announce it but thanks I guess
>>735611414Where's the lie? Evolution has never been proven.
>>735610928>>735611031hmm real non fungi guys in this room.
>>735611123That's a double chin anon
>>735611268Nah, Guzzlord isn't the cause, it's nature's final solution in a dimension that likely met a similar fate to Pokopia's world (a clusterfuck of natural disasters that were too far out of anyone's scope except for Arceus to deal with, but since they were natural, Arceus had no reason to intervene), but the player Ditto didn't exist to start fixing things, requiring another solution to save earth.Specifically, I'm of the belief Guzzlord is a forced adaptation or mutation that 100% Zygarde had to undergo in order to be suited for the job, as the task was no longer fighting an overwhelming opponent who threatened the balance, but to consume as much unneeded matter as possible to eventually rid of pollution and decay.
>>735611617I'm a fun guy.
>>735611031>>735611617Don't be stupid and irrational anons, a mushroom couldn't type on a keyboard. They'd have to overtake the brain of some creature with digits to do so. I'm obviously no fungus.
FYI Parasect hardcounters Kyogre.
>>735610929Kek I hope you don't have any cats then.
what was it before it got infected with the mushroomslike cubone is the child of kangaskhan
>>735611708What do you do if the Kyogre clicks ice beam?
>>735611785I don't buy it anon, I can make my Marowak give birth as much as I want and its kid will always find a new skull. They're probably collecting those bones from that graveyard they have.
interesting that pokemon used the cordycep concept well before the last of us.
>>735611847That's ludonarrative dissonance anon, if the game had to factor in every single little Pokedex quirk it would instantly overcomplicate multiple mechanics and one's ability to even functionally use some mons (have fun trying to use Shedinja when your player character is now at risk of having their soul taken away because they accidentally looked at the hole in its back, lol).It's the same reason you can breed a Kangaskhan and, despite the fact the parents tuck it into an egg the moment it's created so it can develop safely until it's old enough to fend for itself, Kangaskhan specifically instead hatches in its fully matured state with a child of its own already cozied up in its pouch.They simply don't care to add that much complexity so every facet of gameplay is 100% faithful to the worldbuilding and lore because it's excessive effort that no one's really going to be upset about except for an extreme minority of turbo autists.
>>735610005funny how you didnt say anything about being a lazy faggot and learn how to draw (something an actual child is capable of)
>>735612035Nah, I cant draw, I cant see the apple when I imagine it. I wont take art lessons to post shitposts on 4chan dude.
>>735611797He doesn't because I am in trick room and have already queued up sporeYour move
>>735611997Okay well disregarding the ludonarrative dissonance of breeding it still doesn't make sense for every Cubone to have a dead mother: you can find those out in the wild, skull included. You can't have every single mother die in child birth you don't reach replacement levels with that, and the already included explanation of a Marowak graveyard works just fine. Even if the "Cubone is just Kangaskhan with a dead mom" thing was true back in gen 1 it certainly hasn't been for decades at this point.>>735612070I click the little x in the corner of the battle window, I still get the moral victory
>>735612058>I cant see the apple when I imagine it.Grim
>>735611262good thing you are never having kids chuddie!
>>735611268>>735611659guzzlord is implied to be some sort of pollution creature, it's related to garbodor because it looks like a trash compactor and both it and garbodor are based on the cryptid known as a gumberoo
>>735611123I, the mushroom, have the full controll now
>>735611826He cute
>>735612058>I cant see the applethank you for adding to my ever expanding evidence of ai being used exclusively by drooling retards .
>>735611826fat fuck
>>735612370We get it, you dont want AI to remove the only thing you are not bad at. It's okay, your art will always be a part of the AI database, so you have that.
>>735612536KILL YOURSELF OR A PENCIL WILL MATERIALIZE IN YOUR THROAT WHEN YOU SLEEP TONIGHT
>>735612689
>>735612536you will never experience the thrill of creation and imagination. i almost feel sorry for you, but you are an arrogant retard so you deserve the misery you bestow upon yourself.
>>735606602>>735608292>>735611123this pokemon was ruined for me when i found out it had a muppet mouth and not a cool blank facelots early cards, merch and sprites made it look like it didnt have a mouth
>>735612058I kinda sympathize with this, Even a quick MSpaint shitpost takes a lot more time than a AI genned image.>>735612689Relax, it's just a picture of a dead bug, man.
>>735613484I don't even like AI but people need to differentiate between using it for personal use for fun and as commercial use to replace people's jobs.Who the fuck cares if you use it for a random shitpost.
>>735613675I think it's especially funny in this case because when you caught flak for it you went and found an existing fan one anyways here >>735610065The hatchet could have been buried already
>>735613160He's just having a swell day anon
>>735608687
>>735613675>>735613809you niggers need to understand nobody, and i mean NO BODY wants to see this shit that is getting spewed on every corner of the internet for the past 4 fucking years. not even in a fucking shitpost do we want to see slop. it is all so tiresome.
>>735613484time is irrelevant when the image being generated is rancid dog shit. is 5 minutes in paint really that painful for you? consider not shitposting then, no one wants to see it but yourself.
>>7356143464chan isn't your safespace hugbox. Reddit is that way ---->
>>735614416He got you crying with his slop post. I'd argue it was quite effective.
>>735612035>Just casually train a skill you don't have actual interest in, lol, lmaoYou people are retarded. I think sailboats are cool, doesn't mean I want to actually fucking purchase a galleon and train a crew on it.
>>735615234then post something someone else drew or something people actually want to see. why are you niggers pretending your only option is to shit all over the place? it would be better if you just didnt post an image at all.
>>735615438Fuck off back to preddit you smoothbrained buffoon. Some anon posting a single fucking picture of a hypothetical evolution to Parasect is not the end of the world.
It is morally ethical to give your paras an everstone. And you're a monster to evolve it.
>>735615475holy shit nigger please kill yourself and make the world a better place.
>>735615671But Spore...
Gen 10 should unironically have an evolution-item that you can give Paras to allow it a mushroom free, branching evolution.
>>735611123I never really realized until now that its eyes are blank because it's fuckin dead and basically a zombie.
>>735615736I'm sorry you're so upset. Who hurt you?
>>735615924Crossgen evos are largely cancerous tumors so please do not
>>735611123>>735613160what the fuck I never realized it was a mouth. Just like you for like 25 years I thought parasect had a blank facewhat the fuck
>>735606602Read a book
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Parasect still in there?I remember one of the spinoff game where you also play as a pokemon have the thing arguing with itself over who gets to control the body that day.
>>735609413>"MMM... CHILDREN">>>Takes you to one of his **ISLANDS**
>>735610456The pokemon concept in itself is as you said, fucking rad. But seeing the Paras dialogue in the game is kinda sad because he is humanized there. Feels like a kid with a terminal illness dreaming about a future he'll never get to enjoy. I'm really surprised by the small useless and soulful fanservice details they added in Pokopia. Still not a good game but it shows the devs cared and it speaks volumes today
>>735610148>Paras is slowly forgetting Bulbasaur due to the mushroom taking over his mind and bodyWriting stuff like that in a kids game is jewish

>>735616101Crossgen evos are awesome though. What needs to stop are megas.
>>735606602Parasect is fucking cool. Most bug types are. Yeah its based on that mushroom that causes ants to climb to the top of trees and release the spores growing out of it. Cordyceps or whatever. Pokemon was always better as creepy monsters. That's why Bug, Ghost, and Fairy are the coolest types (even though Gyarados is my #1).

>>735614346>>735615107He’s right. This shit always looks disgusting, and it’s (thankfully) very obvious.
>>735611673Mushroom says what!
>>735617250What?
>>735617179We all know that Mycelium and Cephalopods are the result of panspermia, but we call them plants and fauna for general ease of use not because we actually think they're terrestrial.
>>735617318What the fuck are you talking about JesseFungi are unikonts alongside Animals. They're not plantae
What if you took the shrooms off right when one hatches from an egg?
>>735617508This is why we need a biotic type that encompasses biology outside of plants/animals (Fungus and Bacteria and stuff)
>>735617608The mushroom is just a small part of the fungus. Paras is already compromised
>>735617672We literally have supergroups and domains
>>735608687Could have been just a typo, you know.
>>735617762It's parasect
>>735608292For extra "fun", Parasect speaks in a very dull and monotone way to make it seem like he's just mimicking small talk or speaking a second language. "It appears there are clouds. I will take it easy. Yes" or "An item. Yay." etcStuff like this and this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWrNkZFvI2E are only to go increase demand for a regional version of Paras and Parasect where they get to live free from the mushroom.
>>735617151>just remove any depth to the world building and make it all a shiny sparkly fairy tale please!
Reminder that mushrooms are the biggest living thing on this planet and they have full control over all plants in their gardens and all minor insects like ants they use like dolls and tools.Mushrooms aided our evolution for millions of years to make us dance and free will only exists inside of the mushroom brain beneath the earth.

Honestly I wonder, are the mushrooms the actual Pokémon and insects are just koala brained idiots?I'm not saying they're sentient mushrooms, I'm saying that the mushrooms gain the intelligence to accept and understand trainer commands once they gain access to the grey matter that the bug was just wasting.

>>735618030>Brainless bug Where's the worldbuilding, faggot? My idea is better. Go ahead and argue, I'm waiting.
>>735617151This is going to be shocking to hear, but Pokemon was written for adults in a way that retarded children wouldn't really decipher the true meaning of.Hence why original lore had humans marrying pokemon because humans canonically ARE pokemon. It's literally not immoral to fuck a pokemon.
>>735618401>Anything to drag pokemon into his furry fetish fantasy
>>735618049Humans are bacteria claim. Fuck off fungger
I really like the beta silver/gold baby Paras.It implied that a Paras larvae emerges from the young spore of a mushroom, meaning the relationship is more symbiotic for both species combined procreation.It makes the relationship much less parasitic, but alas it never officially happened
