>>56571293Anyone have a cap of the leak story
leave it to reddit tourists to run an unfunny meme into the ground in less than an hour

>>56571293It's not Manaphy, the son is human and he turns into a psycho that abuses pokemon for fun and kills 30 (THIRTY) Ursaring.
>>56571520Thanks, Fucking hilarious but this was never gonna make it in to the final game, the success of the first game alone allowed them to go any direction they wanted and they choose family friendly.
>>56571689>the success of the first game alone allowed them to go any direction they wantednot when said success was entirely owed to childrenNOW they can go in any direction they wanted because children today don't even know what pokemon is, and they're playing violent gun games like Fortnite (at least more violent than pokemon even though there's no blood)
>>56571720Pokemon is still immensely popular with kids anon.
>>5657172090% of game sales are parents buying it for their kids what the fuck are you talking about?
>>56571988>>56572081I have many little cousins who play fortnite together at family gatherings, not one of them knows what a Pikachu is but you bet your ass they can name every character in roblox, stumble guys or fortniteI will concede that it might be different for japanese children, but western children don't give a fuck about pokemon. even yokai watch and inazuma eleven were more popular with children than pokemon
>>56572109Here in yurop 1 in 3 schoolchildren has a pokemon backpack. Stationery stores are fucking flooded with Pikachu and Cinderace (for some reason), they even have pokemon themed chips for kids.
>>56572158I'm in yurop too and I cannot relate to your experience
>>56572179I mean here in Italy pokemon is fucking massive. The anime is even broadcast on satellite TV instead of cable.
>>56572158>>56572109I've seen plenty of both, anime still airs on kids tv and heaps of kids wear pokemon merch as much as minecraft.
>>56571520What the shit, man.
>>56571520lmfao what the fuck
>>56571293Cut content isn't canon. Learn what that would actually means.

>>56572109Southern burgerland here - I got some of the Pokemon trick or treat cards for Halloween last year to give out and kids flipped. Planning to get more this year, one kid said I had the best house ever and that's a high I'll be chasing until the end of time
