Should pokemon go back to being more violent?
Violence is never the answer…
Violence is always the answer...
Violence is sometimes the answer...
Retards call Adventures edgy for showing dismembered Pokemon twice, I don't think this faggot fanbase could handle it.
>>59091634Ditto got violated
Bring back that pikachu comic where fearow killed pikachu in vol 2
>>59091774Being violated is what Ditto was born for.
Pokemon aren't meant to fight.....not like this.....
>>59091642Well duh the games are about pokemon BATTLES
>>59091634I think the real question is, COULD pokemon go back to being more violent?..and the answer is uh, no. it definitely couldn't.
>>59091634I don’t like seeing pokemon eat each other

They're supposed to be Pocket Monsters, I don't know why everyone wants them to be soft, precious cute uwu baby animals.
>>59091850Half of them are literally cute baby animals though
>>59091850most of them (even in gen 1) are cute uwu baby animals
>>59091856>>59091864Yeah.
>>59091652>showing dismembered PokemonThose were illusions induced by Confuse Ray or something IIRC, they couldn't even commit to it back then.
>>59091965Giovanni shattered some frozen Magmar into chunks.
>>59091634Is Dratini trying to eat Charmander?
>>59092174It's using bind, these cards were meant to depict pokemon using various moves of theirs. Not sure of Krabby or Kingler, vice grip and crab hammer?, but Paras is obviously using leech life.
>>59092296Krabby is using guillotine. The old style of pokemon art was so nice and these cards are all mostly unique examples of it
>>59091652They also clutch their pearls at an Ultraman reference(crucifixion) Pokemon is the most infantalized fanbase it's almost disgusting
>>59093337Likely because Game Freak pushed for infantalization far back in the day and it stuck.
>>59093945It's most likely TPC's fault itself and wanting to avoid any controversy possible to keep the money train going The Porygon Shock drama really sent the fear of god into nintendoKinda like how Magic the Gathering cleaned up a lot of its edges and grittier aesthetic after being afraid of getting called satanic
There are so many other franchises that are violent, let us have have our utopian fantasy
>>59093342>card ass
>>59094209Edgyfags usually take it up the ass.
>>59094209>card dassperma all ESLs
>>59094206Pokemon has settings that are too utopian, arguably only Kanto was the closest to being a grounded uglier side of Japan but even that was relatively sanded off.
>>59094221What is a "dass"?
>>59094233>Carddass (カードダス, Kādodasu) is a name given to Bandai's card vending machines and, thus, a generic term given to the cards sold by these machines.gee that was difficult
>>59093945>>59094184The "Disney-fication" of Pokemon was entirely the doing of Ishihara. That's why he's still today credited as one of the series' creators, even though he only served as a supervising producer on Red and Green.He was in charge at Creatures, which handled all the licensing for Pokemon before the founding of The Pokemon Company, because Creatures was handling most of Nintendo's licensing. He was the one who, with the unnamed brains at MediaFactory, helped create the TCG. He was the one who got the anime off the ground. He was the one who oversaw making the 1996 fad into a cultural phenomenon for a generation of Japanese kids. That's why he was put in charge of TPC at the beginning, and why he's been there ever since. He was also the one who sat back and recalculated the franchise after Porygon. He made the tough calls, like delaying Pocket Monsters 2, and he made the decisions that lead to Pokemon's grand reintroduction campaign in late 1998-- Pokemon Yellow, an ad campaign centered entirely on people's love of Pikachu, a return to the air with a New Year's special and a special episode also focusing on the unbreakable bond between Pikachu (Pokemon) and Ash (Jap kids). That entire episode is propaganda to tell you that Pokemon can never be left behind, and it will always be here for you!Ishihara did what he thought was right, which would go on to include but not be limited to, convincing Tajiri to step down on Gold and Silver, and convincing Masuda to semi-retire, and reshaped the franchise in a bulletproof way, to ensure it could not be toppled, that it would be evergreen, and that it would keep everyone employed. Masuda summed up best with the quote from Confucius in BW:"Superior men understand what is right, inferior men understand what will sell."
Do you support this being canon then?
