You may not like him, but he undoubtedly had the most kino interpretations and ideas for Pokemon out of anyone else that wrote any official Pokemon media.
Did you care about this before or after the video essays? Honest question
>It's another "Pokemon would be good if it was edgy" threadYawn. Going to bed. Goodnight
>>59056346Can you honestly answer why it wouldn't be better if it retained the Red/Green type of world?
I have not watched this YouTube video, qrd on him?
I honestly like the games' interpretation (especially post-leak) more where the Pokémon World 'used' to be just like our own but through the progress made with Pokémon we've manged to reign in our worst instincts for the most part. It's a high-maintenance, carefully-cultivated garden that is liable to stall and show bits of its ugly side with sufficient stress, but it's still generally in a better shape than the world you're escaping from.Special to me feels like it's aping Dragon Ball's tone of writing where one chapter will have things be as zanny as the anime with Lt. Surge riding a surfboard made of Magnemites while the next you're seeing an Arbok cut in two with graphic detail.
>>59056407I like it more when it was a phenomenon. Where Pokemon was more often than not just unordinary animals, mutated/artificial beings or just in general mythological/folklore beings. It made sense in the context of Pokeballs (Kurt and then the modern iteration made in 1925) and Team Rocket; hell, even Kanto/Johto as a whole.After RSE, the whole thing with Kanto just feels like a sore thumb.
