None of us are smart enough to become actual ecologist so no
Biology autism is on the upper echelons of this fandomWe're mainly stuck on the waifu and stat autism
>>59034867Sure I'll pretend to have a PhD
>>59034867Me in the first image, sitting fourth from bottom-left.
>>59034867>>59036187I thought there was supposed to be a girl at the far end
>>59034867are you a boy or girl?
>>59034867Yeah, no. I'm an ecoterrorist rejected by Greta Thunberg and the way I see socialism is a taboo in Japan.
>>59034867>manage to create plausible ecosystems up to gen 3 (4 to a lesser degree)>somehow can't recreate them without a PhD undergrade to help them out nowMoney truly is the killer of creativity.
>>59036865Would be awesome if that was my job. I'd make a beeline to some troon and ask him that
>>59034867imagine you spend years of your life getting a phd, and in ecology of all things, then this opportunity comes around
Shouldn't they be recruiting SPECULATIVE ecologists and biologists?
>>59034867I don't have the privilege of having a tree or flower related surname
>>59034867Didn't they hire actual ecologist to make this book?Only for the book to end up being a glorified retelling of Pokedex trivias? Things that we already know, nothing new, no interesting deep ecology whatsoever.Why did they even bother with actual ecologist?
>>59038481Derivative works that only rephrase existing information are the fuckin worst. So afraid to change anything. Harry Potter games are like this too.
>>59037043They definitely can, they just choose not to because for some reason they feel it's necessary to include every kind of biome in each region now.
>>59038493>Waaaaah, where are all the Fire-type Pokemon in Sinnoh, Gamefreak? I'm forced to use Rapidash if I want a Fire-type, or choose the fuckin monkey at the start of the game! All Sinnoh teams are cookie-cutter, there's no variety!That is why every region has all biomes.
>>59038481You can tell from the illustrations that whoever made the book respects Pokémon, but GameFreak was probably extremely strict in what information they could put. No one hates Pokemon more than game freak
>>59038524Or, you could just add in more Fire type Pokemon to already existing areas, especially considering Sinnoh is a mountainous region. You're telling me that adding Magby to the main campaign is unreasonable?
>>59038564No, which is why Magmar was made available in Platinum at the Fuego Ironworks. But almost nobody actually went there because it's so well-hidden.
they should just hire one of the diamond dozen deviantart POKEMON BUT REAL autists instead of some fucking dolphin ejaculation expert nerd
>>59038568True but I was talking about DP. Nobody complains about a lack of fire types in Platinum.
>>59037727transphobic Pokémon fan?
>>59038353>All tomorrowsKek
>>59038568>almost nobody actually went theresays who?your lot of goofy niggas can't claim everyone got a gible and then try to say magmar was obscure
>>59038490SMT does that by reusing the same Kaneko renders from 20-30 years ago too, pokemon at least gets new official art regularly
>>59038706Self-hatred is a terrible thing.
>>59038546>No one hates fanon!Pokemon more than game freakFTFY, they respect the shit out of their series. They don't give a fuck for spergs' interpretation of their series however, which is why you think that.
>>59039691Idk, making terrible games and refusing assistance doesn’t exactly scream “respect” to me
>>59039837It does to me. Instead of caring about the wishes of spastic adults, they instead chose to focus on their series and its focus on children. Plus "give a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach him to fish and he can sell his catch to buy beef".
I'm a professor and I like pokemon and JapanWhich means I'll never get the job
>>59039837A better way to put it is probably that GF has too much prideThey have refused help from Nintendo and stick to their own ways
>>59038524Typical piplup fan. No such problems with 齊天大聖.
>>59036187Jesus Christ you are everywhere
>>59036187Hello, Umbreanon
>>59040519I can use Double Team.
>>59040140It's a lot easier to trust a small community than a big one. It's just that this small community just doesn't have any actual experts. Or anyone who knows what they're doing, really.
>>59036187Are you sure? Was it a boy? Or was it a girl?
>>59034867Based thread already, looks like it made the marketing department scramble
>>59040095>they respect the shit out of their seriesFunny joke>its focus on children.yeah letting a pedophille ruin pokemon by using them for his rape fics instead firing his faggot ass, real family friendly stuff!
>>59038582You know they did that for the Pokémon movie already
>>59038582yeah like that james turner guy
>>59037043I dunno, Alola was probably the best ecosystem they did to date, and that was pretty recent (10 years ago)
>>59038524I don’t think dp Sinnoh is the best example considering it has less ice types than fire types in spite of all of the snow and new ice type pokemon.
>>59043868Probably because he's the one who made 'em
>>59034867this is probably the best thing pokemon can do. Making an actual ecology for every pokemon species so that certain species behave in certain manners. There have been bits and pieces of this over the year, but nothing significant.
>>59045262I highly doubt that leech designed a single pokemon
>>59034867Are they really replacing all the animals then?
>>59038706Nobody likes trannies, not even themselves
>>59045370would be interesting to see if they need actual animals or if they'll make it work with just pokemon
>>59041579Also a based moveset
>>59037727that really got discord to start samefagging and crying alright
>>59044530>recent (10 years ago)that's sad as fuck
>>59046304i'm willing to bet they'll just base certain pokemon habits based off of the respective animal. Maybe they'll start having actual flocks of bird pokemon flying around that you can interact with.
>>59034867some of them are incomplete anyway
>>59048079do you really need a phd to tell you that?
>>59036187Based
>>59034867hey, it's better than spending the budget on some faggot singer
>>59034867are they working on the games or just deciding where to put statues in that pokepark?
>>59048992Shh, let some ecology nerd get a free paycheck.
>>59043868>yeah letting a pedophille ruin pokemon by using them for his rape fics instead firing his faggot ass, real family friendly stuff!Who are you talking about?
>>59050968Probably books and stuff. They released an ecology book and two science books recently and all three were written by actual scientists. The reports I saw regarding this news all used the cover of the ecology book with the news story.
>>59034867>go to school for 10 years to get your PhD in ecology>end up writing and retconning pokedex entries for minimum wage in a japanese 14 hour work day
>>59051668It's better than getting cockblocked by the government for trying to do anything good for the Earth.
>>59045990uh sure
>>59051702sucks to need government grants then
>>59040140That never happened you schizo.
>>59034867they're probably the most based in the entire series
>>59040140I'm guessing that's the surest sign that it did
>>59051196I thought those went through a lot of editing, probably aren't even recognizable anymore kek
>>59037026they have a political party for that
>>59038428Legally changing your name to match is just part of the hiring process so its ok.
>>59038490kek why use a phd for shit like that
>>59034867It's amazing how much thought gets put into Pokémon only to be buried in a filing cabinet to never see the light of day out of fear of alienating the core audience.
>>59034867>tfw phd candidate, but in fucking mathI knew I picked the wrong field>>59038170Would absolutely beat working in academia
>>59038720>kekKeyed* All Tomorrows author has more design reach and creativity that modern pokemon designers could never have, or could if stoped being autistic fags.>>59038706Not the whole fanbase needs to be retarded + OG pokemon fans, now in their 40s or 50s are probably mostly oberweight chuds with little being overweight trannies. Btw ywnbaw.>>59046304You mean if they will create a somewhat original eco-dynamic between certain different species or they will just copy-paste it from real life animals to pokemon? Either way it will be a good thing and also will probably lower the possibility of ridiculous mons like Cinderace or Trubish, wich you could never logically think of being creatures that would appear in the wild or naturally, to ever be in pokemon games again or atleast in rarer habitats...
>>59045990I like them! You, however, I despise.
>>59056211>also will probably lower the possibility of ridiculous mons like Cinderace or Trubish, wich you could never logically think of being creatures that would appear in the wild or naturally, to ever be in pokemon games again or atleast in rarer habitats...That'd be nice but this probably isn't for the games themselves
>>59051188She's projecting because she spent SO many years trying to discredit poképhilia, only to find out Game Freak in fact saw poképhilia as a natural part of their world.
>>59056863Of course it's not. Otherwise it would be Game Freak looking ecology grads to join their workforce and not the marketing company who's recently opened up a real-life amusement park where they've built a "habitat" for pokémon to live in.
>>590570101 guy haphazardly copy-pasting expendable foddermons game freak doesn’t care about into butchered fake stories isn’t a natural part of their world.
>>59038353Yes, actually. Pokemon's ecology is a bizzaro world for a ton of reasons. Traditional ecology runs on the principle that the producer level of a food chain is feeding on the sun (or a few cases of chemicals in the ocean). Pokemon has lithivores. Not like worms, that "eat" dirt (they are actually eating nutrients in the dirt, that makes them essentially decomposers). Pokemon has shit that feeds on electricity, rocks, emotions, sometimes literally nothing, that still somehow gains energy, that can in turn be consumed by something else. Caves on earth tend to be pretty scarce in life, because there is only so much nutrition that makes it down there. Not so in pokemon, there is absolutely no reason for a cave in an asspit of the world with zero traditional energy input to be filled with rock and ghost type pokemon, and the things that feed on them. Pokemon also has a ludicrously cataclysmic state of geological development. Tyranitar can knock down entire mountains in a short enough time span that electronic maps get outdated, Aggron can build those same mountains back in a generation. Pokemon can generate seemingly endless amounts of stone and water to completely terraform an area in under a human generation, under a decade if they really wanted to. A family of Swampert or something show up, decide "hey, this looks like a nice place for a swamp" and shit out a swamp into this desert. Then a family of Torterra show up for the water, genocide the Swampert, and now your swamp is a mid-desert jungle.And then you have the shit you just need to shrug about.Why is Garchomp rare?Garchomp flies at mach 2, can dig through rock, and is nearly unparalleled in combat. You cannot keep Garchomp out if you wanted to. Why are there any shitmons, if Garchomp can fly in at Mach 2, eat them all, then fly away?Magikarp is the only good example of this. Magikarp is everywhere, because when a... herd? School? of Gyarados come to fuck in your park, you cannot evict them
>>59057022Also probably thisIt's the pokemon parks. They're hiring a bunch of weird positions to make a fake nature preserve, that can probably be twisted to claim public money by being "educational" if they can get an ecologist to sign off on saying this plaque on Krabby is close enough to real river crabs to be educational
>>59057135No, but them carefully selecting pokémon due to being inspired by a particular yokai, with particular tales (and versions of tales) and using them to re-tell one of those specific stories, set and established in the pokémon universe does. Which is why they used the Yuki-Onna pokémon to tell a ersion of the Yuki-Onna myth where she spares the life of her husband out of respect for the children he fathered with her, but leaves him alone and desolate to lament his foolish tongue.You lost this fucking culture war before you even started. That's why Ninetales' anime debut was based around the kitsune bride myth and why Latias' inspiration was "Tsuru no Ongaeshi" (and its movie debut showed it falling in love with a human, one of the VERY few movie moments to ALSO be portrayed in the animated weekly series AND recognised by Game Freak to the point they distro'ed a special Latias which knew the move Angel's/Sweet Kiss).
>>59044530>every biome gets an islandwowsuch creativity
>>59057274>Why is Garchomp rare?They're like the only dragon types that act like classical dragonsThey live in caves, gathering and defending large collections of gems and precious stones
>>59034867Better than hiring a furry to reply to that thing's own posts just to whine about a thread
>>59034867As long as they don't hire a singer again
>>59058728*ever again
>>59057417based
>>59038353do they actually hand out phds for shit like that
>>59041205*Umbraneon>Verification is not required.
>>59060804Hey, if you can get one for gender studies
>>59057417>imageI get it.
>>59038706>>59052309>>59056342YWNBAW>Verfication is not required.
>>59043868>gamefreak was making a pokemon game centered around folk mythology >creates some copypasta folk mythology for in-house thematic purposes to help get the dev team in the right mindset>anon seethes about this
>>59036169You can't pretend to have a PhD in this era.>Verification is not required.Ironic.
>>59062278>not requiredonly in wokemonotherwise you get asked if you're a boy or a girl
>>59063069>being this new
>>59034867Based Oak, really made the troon cry with that question
>>59057458but can't fly
>>59064361>It flies through the sky as fast as a jet airplane, hunting down as much prey as it can.>Soars across the heavens at blinding speed—a magnificent sight!
The Common Descent paleontology podcast just finished a 5 episode series on speculative Pokemon. They decided to go with all legendaries.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wd6oWBHyd3U
>>59064957>>>/trash/81750693Semi-unrelated but I wanted to share it.
>>59064957>all legendariesnevermind
>>59054758they also have a pill for that
>>59034867In Ecology? How many of those are they even gonna find?
>>59067217especially ones that can look at pokemon not having animals without going nuts
>>59048992i think the need for phds would be to predict how certain pokemon species would interact with each other. Because sometimes you're working with pokemon that aren't really based on an animal like magnemite, voltorb, trubbish, etc. you'll need someone to say, well it's this kind of pokemon, so this would be its habitat and this is how it would interact with other species. A phd probably isn't wholly necessary, but maybe could help with more realism
>>59068326Would they even decide any of that or just work on the park of maybe a book and have all their recommendations ignored? It's their curse to give out advice while the morons just ignore them and do whatever
>>59038706>>59052309>>59056342High-quality bait. Very believable. You've earned the (You).
What possible ecological niche could Pikachu Luigi fill?
>>59069059keeps the turtle populations in check
>>59069043A heavily edited or rather neutered book
>>59034867If only it was for pokedex entries but it's probably not for the games at all
>>59034867Why aren't Oak's eyebrows turning gray?
>>59072143It's a thing that happens IRL.
>>59068100Maybe someone's gonna add them back at last
>>59048535just like ecology majors lol
>>59057283That'd be funny if it actually works
>>59036169>>59062510Depends on the field
>>59076155could've sworn that was supposed to start with math
>>59073598or at least someone will say they're necessary
>>59057283That's a lot of trouble for a maybe
>>59034867Surprised it took this long
>>59079394A lot of people probably gave them advice over the years. They didn't take it then, they won't take it now
>>59048992they don't look down on education there
>>59060804I feel so blessed every opportunity I get to share this video. NYU Gallatin school where people can make up their own majors.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6GAb4Oa6tw
>>59081189That explains the 'berg
>>59081996never graduated, never will
>>59081189Does a place like that even have postgrad programs?
>>59081161Yeah, they see their schoolboy days as the highlight of their soul-crushing sararyman lives
>>59078917a really unlikely one
>>59034867>don't go into ecology or any other animal-related field, you won't get a jobt-thanks mom
>>59084667Probably won't be much of a job, just a quick contract where they don't listen to you and kick you out as soon as they can
>>59084667probably one of the few jobs outside of academia
>>59084667I feel like a job like that would make you depressed as fuck anyway given how shit humans are treating the planet
>>59086005or genocidaljust wipe out commie china and india and be amazed at how clean the world just got
>>59086655And africa
>>59087524and the entire middle east
>>59088184And all the wetback countries
>>59087524>>59088184>>59089259austronesia first
>>59034876Speak for yourself, anon. The majority of the board is college educated
>>59090092I said I went to college, I didn't say I learned anything there
>>59087524>>59088184>>59089259>>59090083No need to push, there's plenty of nukes for all of them at once
>>59048992>phdwho needs 'em
>>59092208academics
>>59093112And no one else
>>59093112only because the others had to get that shit too
>>59085933That's how PhDs are
>>59094959better than getting expelled in your first year of a piss-easy bachelor's program
>>59095942For a very funny reason too
Should've happened earlier if the signs were already there
>>59034867Does that mean the park's really gonna be a long-term thing?
>>59098717they're going through an awful lot of trouble if it wasn't
>>59097864those with a persecution complex may pretend people are being kicked out of universities or jobs for having certain interests, but this is one of many examples of things that never happened but should have
>>59034867sounds like another job that wasn't worth the trouble of getting a phd
>>59101369Nothing is really
>>59090092Are you sure, a lot of the people in /vp/ talk like the kind of people that think college is "woke indoctrination".
>>59100310Plus it's good to kick the ones who scream the most
>>59100310Discrimination is always a good idea, whether it's based on interests or something else
>>59100310The 'berg probably isn't an actual vorefag, just a beggar who wants help against a girl who overpowered him. Most likely he didn't even fap to that shit until the 'cord groomed him.
>>59083931they deserve it for that alone
>>59083931That shouldn't be surprising when their schools are based enough to have those short skirts
>>59102286especially not in the current anti-intellectual era
>>59090092Let's assume that (you) are college educated, anon. I would think that someone who is college educated would know better than to state as if fact that the majority of a group of anonymous people on a pokemon board are college educated without having any survey data to back that statement up. Even I know that you can't just say something like that accurately.>t. someone who is not college educated or do you could the 3 days I went to community college and learned nothing while there
>>59106863>do you countcount*I'm too tired for typing anymore.
>>59034876I might not have a fancy degree or understand the how Latin names are given to new animals, but I'm creative enough and have a firm enough grasp of the general concept of ecology and the animal world to come up with Pokemon concepts and the kind of environment they are meant to live within/around and the type of prey Pokemon they could go for.I for one would love to see a Bug Dragon Legendary Pokemon that Evolves, similarly to how they did it in Sun&Moon.I could see this also being the pokemon game that brings into the franchise officially the concept of Delta Species along with a parallel Mega Evolution with Delta-Variant Megastones.
>>59106914Yeah, ah don't need no fancy schmancy edumacation to be full of all these great idears. Don't need to learn Latin, just consoom a lot of media so you can be a brilliant "ideas man"
>>59106863>Behold! I am a counterexample>Therefore, this generalization cannot hold!>I am very smart
>>59106863>3 days I went to community college and learned nothing while theretbf it's not like we learned anything either in 4 years, or at least not related to our fields
>>59034867What, like environmentalists?
>>59038546Because they need to shit out that slop just to keep themselves afloat, even though they'd rather be making other games like that beast of whateverthefuck
>>59060804You still have something like writing a book or making a show in your resume. Also they hired that realistic Pokemon guy for the Detective Pikachu movie so this isn't out of the question.
>>59110388And did they dump him if they're just hiring a new one now?
>>59110388or this is probably for the park unless there was something else
>>59048992It takes a professor to ask if you're a boy or a girl
>>59048992Yes because autistic nerds will point out every single possible inconsistency.>Erm, actually this particular species was observed to act differently in this condition.
>>59034867Only if i get to breed lovanders
>>59113604that's pretty much what a phd is
>>59038353They were asking if anyone knew any scientists. I said look no further. They asked me if I knew anything about animal behavior and ecosystems. I said I knew as muc has anyone I'd ever met. They asked me if I had a degree in speculative ecology. I said I had a speculative degree in ecology. They said welcome aboard.
>>59113604those are all things that should be pointed out, so it's stupid that they're only hiring for some random shit instead of the actual games
>>59036169>>59076155Fake it 'til you make it
>>59113611
>>59116511or break it
>>59034867More likely to be a tumblrtroon than a redditroon
>>59034867To nuke Japan again?
>>59106850There's been a lot of those over the centuries, hasn't stopped advancement
>>59119094Why would I enlist in the PLA
>>59120321so you can eat government-issued bat rations
>>59120321Because you want to each potato mochi with Cyllene
>>59119642it is one we have performed for centuries
>>59121572Or cats and dogs
>>59121572fried in gutter oil
>>59121572I'm sure it's supposed to cure noodledick or ricedick or something
>>59125492doubt there is one unless that penis pump works
>>59126128Even better if it tortures them for no benefit at all
>>59126928their dying screams are always a benefit to the world, look how popular those liveleak videos are
>>59127575IDK about popular but it makes me really happy when people just watch and take videos
>>59128558Even Hong Kong has people who'd still step in, deapite a generation of commie sabotage
>>59126928or goes horribly wrong and mutilates them even worse than circumcision
