Shut up illiterate scum Godbless this employee for actually having talent and bring a good writer the mythology and creation myth are some of the best I’ve read. The legends actually have morals to them like isops fabels and old fairy tails. Btw Megas are one of the best things that ever happened to this series so please tourist be gone!

Those folklore stories are literally some of the coolest things to come out of Pokemon leaks in a long time. As is the Arceus origin story which he created. People keep failing to understand that the "pokesex" stories are in fact just folklore stories that did not happen that are made to exist in the Pokemon world as they do in ours. The creation myth as it is is likely not TRUE it is just what the people of Sinnoh and or the rest of the world think.
>>
>>56629026
You didn't play the games.

There is no creation myth with an egg in the Pokemon world. Arseus literally shows you a vision of the creation of the universe and when you tell people about it they have lines saying that they've never heard of anything like it.
>>
>>56628249
What the fuck is this
>>
>>56629071
You. Didn't listen to what I said. I don't view this leaked creation myth as canon since it is not what made it into the games. What I SAID was that what the people of Sinnoh believe to be true in DPPt at least is likely not exactly what happened because it is a CREATION STORY mimicking a real god's one and no likely what happened lol.
>>
>>56629118
>was that what the people of Sinnoh believe to be true
AGAIN, when the player is shown a vision of this and tells it to people nobody has ever fucking heard of it you illiterate retard

Sex is literally one of the most important pillars of life, you fucking retard. If people didn't fuck to reproduce and ensure their genes lived on and strengthened, they wouldn't have incentive to hunt and survive. We'd all just fall over and die from complacency because there's nothing driving us, and sure as fuck nothing resembling a legacy.
That's why almost all mythology created hundreds or thousands of years ago centers around sex, or a male proving himself worthy to a female.

Where is the outrage from the Japs? He needs to be lynched.
>>
>>56629536
It's folktales that take place in an era where the distinction between Man and Pokemon didn't yet exist. I.E, both were primal, tribal creatures who functioned similarly to each other.
>>
>>56629545
Most japs are respectfully ignoring the leaks because acknowledging or viewing leaks is considered extremely shameful unless it's to admonish their existence. The only real reactions are going to be on underbellies like 2ch, where all the dregs of Japanese society who don't care about cultural standards lurk.

Have you ever read folklore stories before? Many Pokemon are based off yokai as it is, so having them stand in for Yokai and other monsters in folklore makes a lot of sense, especially in the generation with stories about how Pokemon and Humans USED TO MARRY. It literally fits in that Sinnoh especially would have folklore stories like this.

Like. This is like the people who play Hades and then scream when they find out that in the original myths a bunch of these fuckers are fucking animals, their siblings and nieces and nephews. It's mythology, man.

up until today, I thought "media literacy" was just a low-spectrum gen z/alpha buzzword based in real-world application and paid no mind to apparent overuse of the term, but now seeing it in full effect over the last few days in a subject I'm passionate about, I think I finally understand

which is to say, we (western society) are cooked
>>
>>56629802
If you demerit new words because they are just "low-spectrum gen z/alpha buzzword" you were pretty dumb to begin with.
Language evolves, and as it evolves linguistics change. There is merit to even the most "brain-rotted" word. It's part of the social memes we pass on and imprint society with.
>>
>>56629802
This is less about "media literacy" and more the fact that because culture has evolved to where the media you consume IS your personality because there's barely any forms of self-expression anymore that garner attention due to the way the internet and opportunist companies have completely reshaped socialization. So if you enjoy something that has negative elements in it, then people will assume you approve of those negative elements and agree with them.
Like a character? Pray they haven't done any morally questionable things, or that means you support and defend their wrongdoings. And god HELP YOU if that character is under 18.

>>
>>56629802
Yep lmao. People who lack media literacy do not analyze what they intake whatsoever, and apply no critical thinking to anything they engage with. That's why people are seriously coming away from this stuff like, thinking that Gamefreak are genuinely gross for writing this. It's fucking crazy. ESPECIALLY because they were never meant to be real stories that happened, they are MYTHS, stories passed down through generations as cautionary tales in culture. Folklore is often meant to scare people from repeating the same mistakes... for example the Typhlosion one could be told to child to scare it from ever going off on its own/teach a lesson of stranger danger quite literally lol. Real-life folklore is very often made to keep people in line with superstitions
>>
>>56629864
Yeah but the thing is that these people take everything at face value and do not analyze their media and think about WHY things exist and what purpose they have for existing beyond their moral outrage at problematic concepts. You are right about why it's come to be this way, but it is still definitely media illiteracy lol
>>
>>56629802
The term media literacy is often tossed by them to discredit your interpretation of media if it doesn't align with them. Weird how it suddenly popped up in this social climate.

I thought lacking media literacy meant someone missing a reference to older media like "oh is it a Shakespeare reference?" no, it meant to them that you are wrong in your opinion "this [media] is actually a critique on capitalism", etc.,

I'm aware that language evolves over time, I actually consider myself an amateur etymologist because I get pissy when people cry about words' meanings changing over time when they've meant the same thing for hundreds of years, just that they evolve to get used in different contexts.

The problem is that irony is so baked into youth culture, my culture that I grew up with in the course of the last 8-10 years (I'm 24), that it's starting to get really difficult to discern "serious" from "satire" when "satire" vs "irony" in and of itself is a conflict present in the same discussion.

Maybe I don't like thinking too much in one direction but at the same time, I don't want to perform the mental gymnastics of determining if "skibidi" as a descriptor in the same connotation as "fucking" as a descriptor is supposed to be taken seriously or not. There's no functional difference between the two aside from "skibidi" being derived from a soon-to-be-outdated meme. It's very tiring, imo.
>>
>>56627168
I like Pokestar, I think it's a damn shame we didn't get F-00 or Humanoid as actual Pokemon
>>
>>56629999
That is not what it means.

Media literacy refers to the ability to interpret and understand how various forms of media operate, and the impact those media can have on one's perspective. Which is exactly why people freaking out about how the pokesex folklore is so awful and disgusting when why it exists is very clear and is not a fetish thing at all lol

But this isn't the bible.

This is a children's media franchise about monster collecting and battling.

It gains nothing from sex. It has literally zero reason to talk about sex.

That's why the versions in the Canalave Library don't mention it. The most detailed of any of them reduces the entire Octillery part of the story to "A young man, callow and foolish in innocence, came to own a sword," in the first line alone.

The Typhlosion story in-game is a 3-line-long poem about a non-descript Pokemon that masqueraded as a human, and humans masquerading as that Pokemon with its hide.

Obviously the sex stuff doesn't need to be in the games because it's designed for children, but the fact that any of those stories were considered for the final product, the same product that has the story of Pokemon and humans marrying at one point in time (in the JP version, because localization) has to speak to some degree about what other kinds of cautionary tales would be told in this fictional universe.

It's an interesting conversation to be had. Kids aren't gonna need to know or care, but by the time D/P was out, the people who played RBY were growing up or growing out of Pokemon. Someone (or multiple people) probably thought of that and said something along the lines of "why don't we include loosely mature themes while catering to the age rating and tuck them away in an in-game library for the people who want to find it?" I'm sure they didn't want the uncensored drafts of them to come out, but what we've seen over the last few days, is the pure essence of worldbuilding, present in the Pokemon games.

If he wrote the mega dex entries then no his writing is not. Those were all non-canon bad faith edge written with no respect for the existing writing. Mega evolution was and always will be power of friendship and it would be fucking retarded if the power of friendship mangled your friend's bodies into bloodlust pain agony or other such edgy bullshit.

I thought the whole point of XY/SM was that it was an alternate timeline to the rest of the series alongside ORAS, and the convergence happened during ancient Kalos where Mega stones were either created from the ultimate weapon being made, or where it wasn't made, where the other side (a parallel world based on card art) ended up being that TCG set that added BREAK Evolution, and that was the friendship/trainer's bond stuff Colress was always on about.
Picrel is a scuffed timeline I made back in Gen 7. Didn't think about the TCG stuff until later and didn't update it. Now that I think about it, it's probably fanfic, but we were starved for lore at the time.
