>he still nicknames his pokemon
>>58863039>He calls his dog "Dog"
>>58863043>pokemon are animals
>>58863039>>58863065I just know she's a massive fucking slut
>>58863065They generally show more sapience than most animals, and that only further validates the idea of them deserving individual identity.
>>58863135>Red team is better in every way, so that is why you should join blue teamAre you retarded?
>>58863039People who don't nickname their Pokémon have no soul.
>>58863153>People who don't nickname their Pokémon have no [meaningless buzzword]And I nickname my pokemon btw, stop using buzzwords and say what you fucking mean. You're the reason kids try to scroll books like an ipad.
>>58863172Soul isn't a buzzword when applied to living beings you fucking retard. But since you're such a dense faggot I'll paraphrase it for you: "People" who don't nickname their Pokémon aren't human.
>>58863319Then what are we?
>>58863039Yes, and?
I named my squirtle on blue Asskicker and have given that name to every starter since, other pokemon I catch stay unamed.
>>58863151are you? that logic doesn't work the way you think it does
>>58863039>StillWhen did I ever?
>>58863065>He calls his brother Human. And he calls his father also Human. He calls himself Human>he calls the city where he lives City. The neighboring cities are City, City and City. The capital is City
>>58863533>She nicknames cities
who's this bitch anyway?
>>58863039I give my Pokemon ID numbers. The starter is 1, the regional bird is 2, the bug is 3 and so on.
>>58863039I don’t nickname, I name them.My Charizard is called Gustaf
>>58863533So? Ash calls his Pikachu Pikachu. Even though they were more than friends.There's also the thing you must give a name to your child at birth by law. How else will it have an ID? This law does not apply to pokemon, see the games that voluntarily ask you to nickname your pokemon.
>>58863571You realized that anime and other media do it only for commercial purposes? They want you to recognize Pikachu as Pikachu and not Mr.Thundercock... but you still can name your Pokemon just as Ritchie did.Ritchie was cool.
>>58863351Flesh automatons
>>58864064That's what we all are. Meat automatons with our brains running the show. Well, more our subconscious - you don't make decisions, your subconscious makes them before you consciously make them so you only think you have free will.There is no god, there are no souls, there is no free will, we're all slaves to our subconscious minds.
>>58863039For it's the opposite, nicknaming and catching shit in anything other than regular pokeballs WAS NOT allowed, thankfully at some point I cut the bullshit and turned a little bit more normal, now if I like the little feller I'll name it.
>>58863571>Even though they were more than friends.What?
>>58864113yeah but the difference is your brain is not running the show
>>58864127I used to have a compulsion to never nickname pokemon but I've grown out of that. Now I have a compulsion to nickname every pokemon I catch even if I don't plan on using it. For some reason my retarded brain has to go to one extreme or the other, I can't nickname some and not nickname others. It has to be all or nothing.
>>58864328It literally is. Your subconscious decides everything you do. Remove the brain and the body ceases to function.
>>58864185Show ends with them fucking in the bathtub.
>>58863546based
>>58864113In a way you could say that GOD is the subconsciousness!
>>58863039>he still nicknames his pokemonThis is the way, my child.
>>58863039Well excuse me for not being an NPC you whore.
>>58864113>"You WILL eat ze bugs and own NOTHING in the future" nihilistic doomer mindset and beliefsPraying for you bro.
>>58864113>you don't make decisions, your subconscious makes them before you consciously make them so you only think you have free willThis fact makes believing this>There is no god, there are no souls, there is no free willdemonstrably bad for your mental health.
>>58863039Meghan supports nicknaming which makes me inclined to agree with her. I do miss her, hope she comes back to the board soon as she was quite helpful and things are a bit of a mess here without her
>>58865890You're delusional and coping with fantasies of control. The only options are:>There is a god, and he is indifferent to our suffering and thus is evil.>There is a god, and he is impotent to stop our suffering, and thus is not a god at all>There is no god, and we only have what exists in this worldThe fact of the matter is, to the best of our scientific understanding, we have no free will due to our subconscious making all our choices for us before we make them consciously, there are no souls, there is no afterlife, and there is no higher power. To deny this makes you a retard at best and a madman at worst.Of course, you're projecting your own mental health issues onto me; I'm just stating facts while you're taking those as me being mentally ill. The truth of the matter is these thoughts don't cross my mind in normal, daily activity. They have no input on how I act. But the mere idea that you aren't some special snowflake hand-crafted by some ethereal sky daddy sends you into a panic, because your morality and entire life relies on this being true. Not so for me.>>58865796I didn't say any of that, so quit projecting your faggotry onto me. I am a nihilist, but I'm an Existential Nihilism. Nothing - not even human life - has any inherent meaning. Everything only has the meaning we ascribe to it, and only to us. This is not the same as Cosmic Nihilism (the idea that the universe is a cold, uncaring place so just give up). To someone who believes that their sky daddy gave them a speshul snowflake purpose in life, this is terrifying. To a sane person who doesn't believe in made up bullshit, this is liberating because now you can concern yourself with what matters to you, not what matters to some old book made by humans to control people and grab at power.
Who the hell is this woman? I keep seeing her hot face around here, yet everyone refuses to name her. Not even google helps, it just goes back to site with other boards.
>>58865766No. In fact, studies have shown that in death your brain stretches your last moment out into a longform delusion, which explains why some people who die swear they saw heaven or whatever other afterlife they believe in. We have a scientific explanation for it.There is zero evidence that any sort of higher power - Yahweh, Allah, Buddha, Zeus, whatever - exists. In fact, if one was to exist, it would be far more likely to be a mortal who created us as part of a simulation, not some omnipotent all-seeing creature. At best, we're able to pretend we're choosing our own destiny, even if we realistically aren't, in a universe where the only meaning that exists is that which we impart as individuals. At worst, we're all part of a simulation and someday we'll have the plug pulled. Either way, we don't have some mystical savior watching over us - we're on our own. And you and the other delusional cultists in this thread can either keep projecting your own insecurities onto me, or you can go make something of yourselves. But either way, your subconscious has already chosen the outcome - and I can safely predict you're just going to keep malding that you have no real argument or evidence for any faith being more than made-up bullshit for humans to control other humans.
>>58865991>>58865996I think you're trying a bit too hard to sound like a pseudo-intellectual.
>>58863039I used to never nickname my mons until recently, now I put names on all of them
>>58865991>My mental health is totally fine>writes this wall of text and the nextMy dude...>>58865996>simulationistSee? Believe in that if you want it'll make you happier overall. Upgrade your nihilist teenage angst already.Also seriously? We're still doing the "le suffering of da worl" shtick like the possibility the worst pain we experience now is a baby farting for the first time on the cosmic scale hasn't been posited for actual centuries?
>>58866049>Being able to string together coherent thoughts is mental illnessSpoken like a true retard. Just because you're illiterate doesn't meake me insane.>simulationistI'm very much not. I'm simply stating a theory. Again, projecting your beliefs onto me.>See? Believe in that if you want it'll make you happier overall.There's a difference between blind faith in something with zero supporting evidence behind it (religion) and a scientific theory with actual evidence supporting it.>le suffering of da worlYou're projecting again.>the worst pain we experience now is a baby farting for the first time on the cosmic scale hasn't been posited for actual centuriesAgain, you're projecting.TLDR, you're very upset because your worldview is being challenged, and you're projecting all of your insecurities onto me.
>>58866072>projecting aka "professional No U" as a response to everythingAmazing. This is going to be a very worthwhile discussion.>There's a difference between blind faith in something with zero supporting evidence behind it (religion) and a scientific theory with actual evidence supporting it.Wait, are you a simmy or not?>you're very upsetThis is hilarious all things considered.
Also the fact this discussion started because someone lets the SOVL meme live rent free in their head is the cherry on top
>>58866092>Amazing. This is going to be a very worthwhile discussion.At best, projection. At worst, ad hominem. Take your pick which.>Wait, are you a simmy or not?As I said I'm not. I brought it up because it's a more realistic possibility than a creator deity who's some magical omnipotent force existing given the current information we have.>This is hilarious all things considered.I'm literally not? I have other things to do with my time than worry about you, but it is funny watching you cope and seethe that your entire worldview has been destroyed in one internet conversation to the point you have to insult me. >>58866117It's a meaningless buzzword that does nothing to describe your opinion on something beyond "I like this thing no I won't defend my point of view even if objectively speaking this thing I like is steaming hot dogshit".
>>58863396>>58865776Verification is not required.
>>58863533none of these are nicknames or pokemon
>>58863039Hmm, I wonder how you figured that one out
>>58865991>>58865996Seek help dude, being a cynical reddit nihilist doesn't make you look smart or based, just a weird friendless loser that probably nobody hung out with during your school years. Mashallah.
>>58863494You need to be killed
>>58864113Maybe YOU, NPC.
Move to /Bant/
>>58864113The lack of self awareness you have is legitimately too tragic to be funny. To be so bold and proud of being a dimwitted golem, completely unaware that millions of people think on not just a completely different level from you but on an entirely new dimension you cannot even comprehend. You see things like "picture an apple in your head", smirk, and move on with your day believing it to be impossible, or some kind of trick you have outsmarted by not even being able to participate in. I can only imagine if you woke up one day in chains, lashed to the oar of a ship and were commanded to row, you would, and if a hundred years passed, the idea of escaping would have never even occured to you as a possibility.
>>58866851Why bother, he will just smugly proclaim that he is more enlightened because he has embraced the fact that nothing matters not even your own choices.And that you cling to any notion that anything matters at all.
>>58863065Laby Khame
>>58866173>I have other things to do with my time than worry about youMy nigga look at how much you've typed
>>58863039I don't know who that might be but damn she looks like her
>it would be far more likely to be a mortal who created us as part of a simulation, not some omnipotent all-seeing creature>suggest that it is in fact a mortal creature not an omnipotent sky monster>... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT'S NOT THAT EITHER AAAAAIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE THERE CANT BE A BEING SMARTER THAN ME THE ENLIGHTENED ONE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BLACK SCIENCE MAN SAVE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>58863494>Need a big, glistening, pulsating, throbbing BBC pressed on her face rnNo, would never happen
Is there even a point? I can't even see my own nicknames in Ranked ZA.
>>58863319>But since you're such a dense faggot I'll paraphrase it for you: "People" who don't nickname their Pokémon aren't human.Wrong, the only ones who aren't human are subhumans like you who write such nonsense, do the world a favor and kill yourself you waste of oxygen
>>58863319delusional incel faggot
>>58866916It was less for his benefit and more so for any lurker/passer-bys
>>58867090Okay.>>58867080Are you sure they're not the same person anon because holy fuck.
>>58866754Nah
>Autists that actually get upset when people nickname their pokemon>Unironic reddit nihilist deciding to dump his word salad out of nowhere Why is /vp/iss such a miserable place?
>>58863043Yeah, simple and effective
What names do you put on your Pokémon?
>>58867986Last time I named my Staravia Cunt.
she looks virgin and ready to settle down with the right man!
