Imagine living in a world where squirrel you startled would jump out of a bush and electrocute people. Or that flower you tried to pick was actually a pokemon and just sprayed you with sarin gas?
In that world I would empathize with gun nuts. How else will you deal with the 30-50 feral Lechonk that run into my yard within 3-5 mins while my small kids play?
Imagine a world where someone can destroy a building by summoning a near 30ft rock snake inside it.
Don't forget the psychic ones. Any world with abundant telepathy and mind control is pretty much guaranteed to be a dystopia.
Imagine you are just going for a walk on the path near the creek. Then all of a sudden a Hitmonlee jumps out and just kicks you straight in the nuts. Or a 5ft scyther appears and slashes you in half. Or every year a gyarados appears in a random port city and just destroys everything. Lagos last year, Chicago this year, Singapore a decade ago, Rotterdam before that. Pidgeots fly at super sonic speeds and are large enough to prey on a golden retriever.
We would all be absolutely fucked if pokemon were real.
Endbringer Gyrados checks out.
I feel like if that world were the existence, that our daily lives and technology would have advanced with it where we would have Pokemon detecting radar, anti Pokemon shields, etc to protect our cities and such. Now if a shit ton of Pokemon just dumped randomly into this world then yes, that would be a big fuckin problem. Animal Control would become a seven digit job lmfao. Oh god PETA would be insufferable...
Humans have a tendency to make other animals go extinct, so much so that we've already killed hundred thousand of years of evolution. I wouldn't be too worried about the short-term effects on humans.
Why sarin specifically
So...Australia.
The beedrills are 12 feet tall in Australia and breathe fire
Good luck training your red back spider to fight paralysis ticks
In a world where Beedrill exists, I'm bringing fire pokemon absolutely everywhere. Hell, if they make a three foot cockroach pokemon, I'm never leaving the house again.
Snorlax randomly diverts traffic by napping in the worst place possible.
Just play the poké flute to wake it up. ♫♫♫
Sure, just wake it up. Its that easy.
Then you have to battle the cranky thing
I named my Snorlax, Israel.
"I'm just going to take a nap here"
"Israel, this is arguably the WORST place you could settle down, you're surrounded by danger!"
Imagine getting My Girl'd by a swarm of beedrill. McKauley Culkin would've had a closed casket funeral
"Why do guns exist in Pokémon?"
Pokémon:
Literally Palworld
Exactly. Why do you think people like it so much?
Digimon cannon parity
Dat beedrillussy doe
I am afraid it looks more like an extruding pointy appendage.
Don’t threaten me with a good time!
"BATMAN THERE IS NO LAWS AGAINST THE POKEMON BATMAN"
I used to wish I lived in a world like Pokemon, with endless interesting creatures with crazy abilities
Then, I realized that Earth is that world, except we've just killed off most of the animal life. Even the fireflies... They used to be everywhere in summer, I recently met kids who had never seen one. I found two in the middle of the woods during summer - literally surrounded by miles of forest
We live on a dying paradise, and it's depressing
The coolest thing about Pokemon, to me, was how all those creatures are also completely safe and easy to take care of as pets, and very easily domesticated by a 10 year old.
Like, fuck earth. I want a pet bear that fights for me.
Beedrill is the only real pokemon in this picture. You ever see a Japanese hornet? Those fuckers are huge!
Giant bee with drills on sticks? How lazy.
Most Pokemon are thing/animal + weird attribute. Also this was gen 1 most of them are very simple.
Some of the late gen pokemon are just 'weird attribute'
There's a pokemon which is literal garbage.
