yeah but lets be real here if it meant I could live in a world with completely free healthcare and take tours across entire countries on foot with superpowered animal/else companions I would fight a hundred fucking beedrill at once naked with only a butter knife
as i say every time i see this post,
you can catch beedrill and earn the purest fucking love from its little bee heart with a muffin you earn playing a minute of yarn toss
beedrill is not your enemy
Let’s think about life in the Pokemon world for a minute…
First of all, there’s universal free healthcare across the planet. That’s more that a lot of places in our world can say. Moreover, fresh water on this world is apparently so nutrient-rich that it can cure moderate injuries, to say nothing of what berries can do. Therefore, the inhabitants of this world are probably very physically healthy, and those with disabilities (who by default cannot be “healthy”) don’t have to worry about losing their healthcare due to lack of money.
Politics-wise, there isn’t much of a government. Despite this, the world seems relatively peaceful. Private individuals, some as young as eleven, can be expected to deal with crime themselves. War has occurred in the past, but the general political sentiment appears to be very anti-war – cruelty is strongly frowned upon.
Economically, it’s true that there are some people with economic issues – like that one dude in Mauville Hills in ORAS – but generally there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of homelessness or poverty. Some people are more well-off than others – vastly so in some cases – but largely poverty doesn’t seem to exist.
Then there’s the wildlife.
Strange, supernatural creatures of unknown origin and great power populate this planet. An unarmed adult human is no match for even one of these creatures. But the vast majority of the wildlife is extremely friendly to the point where it’s almost all domesticated. Small children are given these creatures as companions and allowed to go out into the open world with them, as they will be safe and able to survive.
Even the scariest of these monsters can be tamed with love and care. Beedrill will love you if you toss yarn at it, sure. So will things like Gyarados, Hydreigon, and the Pokemon equivalent of Lucifer. No Pokemon is untameable so long as you are kind to it.
This in turn has fostered a culture of kindness. It is infinitely more rewarding to be kind to the living creatures around you. Those who are cruel are quickly steamrollered by those who build up close, loving bonds. Even then, a lot of people are concerned that this society of love and kindness is somehow too cruel (to the point where it was the entire plot of gen V).
That love and kindness is extended to all humans. People trust random strangers who walk into their homes. Items are randomly just given out on the street, often for no reward beyond a warm fuzzy feeling. Almost comical levels of generosity and acceptance are expected on this planet. And if you decide to betray that and take advantage of people…
Well, I hope you like having your ass kicked by an adorable eleven-year-old with a nice hat and a yarn-loving Beedrill.
THIS IS SO NICE
I LOVE THIS POST
Drifloon will literally steal your children.
Drifloon will TRY to steal your children. It is far too light to be able to carry a child.
Tell that to my neighbor who has last 37 children to Drifloon, reblog to end its tyranny
This is single handedly the best sentence I have ever read in my entire life, I’m so pleased with and proud of myself right now. My favourite part is that the fact that they picked just one picture means they sat down and discussed which picture of a banana peel they liked best.
I ended up submitting these five haikus:
And this is Banana Peel #6 (out of ten):
They were apparently very enjoyable because the haikus were vindictive and the banana peel has personality. I can’t wait for the issue to come out.
O list! I tell thee of a youthful boy Most aptly named, for “Fenton” he was called. He had not yet seen fifteen years of joy When his parents (by unseen world enthralled) Designed a strange machine of many parts In hopes of viewing ghostly worlds beyond. Alas! it failed, and just so did their hearts, But Danny, being curious and fond Did venture in – only to take a look When a big flash young Danny did surprise! His molecules transformed from man to spook: His hair was white, and emerald were his eyes! Nor was his painted face all that was changed: Nor walls, nor sight, nor even gravity Could bind the boy since he was “rearranged.” He was far more unique than you or me! At once, by light and inspiration struck, Our hero Danny knew what he must do. With all his heart, his powers, and his pluck, He had to stop the ghosts from coming through! He fights them all for us, they are no match He’s Danny Phantom – all ghosts shall he catch!
i'm very gay. i'd like a few dollars.
