Pokémon (Not-So) Griefing Thread - Scarlet and Violet Released with 10 Million Copies in First 3 Days in Buggy States

[Kari Kamiya]

I don't know the origin behind it, places just keep bringing it up like it's fact. Bug-catching is a thing Japanese children do, but they don't continue doing that into adulthood, although Tajiri was real obsessed with video games as a teenager which to the American mind means he's autistic because "obsession". People forget childhood experiences can and often are used by creators because everyone has unique experiences, so Tajiri's fond memories of bug-catching is what inspired Pokémon, and probably also led to catch-rates.

Tajiri might not be "neurotypical" for all we know, but he's never gotten a diagnosis especially as a private person so it's mostly just Americans inserting their Western views into Japanese views, as usual. Pokémon being an extremely common interest among autists doesn't help, but given that one study about how a lot of Millennials have an actual Pokémon database in the visual cortex of their brains, there's a possible link, even though Sonic has slightly closer ties to autism than Pokémon does.

Nice, I just caught a second shiny Magikarp. Now I have a red Gyarados and a golden Magikarp.

Going into a tangeant there, but anything "cartoon-looking", "simple-looking" or "cute-looking" will attract autists. The Mario fanbase is ripe full of autists. Atleast 4% of furries are autistic or 1 in every 20 furries is autistic. Bronies are autistic. Usually adults who still watch cartoons on TV are autistic.
Autists also usually use unorthodox methods to get ahead of the curve.

So who knows, I always thought the guy who made Pokemon was autistic because the shoe just fit.

Alright, so since a few people are asking, here are the spare shinies I have available. All I’m really looking for is an alpha shiny Petil and Teddiursa line, so unless you’re feeling really generous, don’t worry about offering anything.

I would like that Basculin if you want to trade, Just PM me and we can figure out the details.

Would you prefer a shiny Stunky in exchange for one of the Goomy?

I like the red skunk, so sure.

 

[Ido]

I know they fixed shiny Gengar's mega and shit, but finding a shiny haunter was just so disappointing. I know they only change it for gimmick forms, but hot damn it's time to retcon some of these. The shiny Garchomp still makes me angry

Do you guys think we're going to be seeing two concurrent Pokemon games? One in the vein of the games we've been getting for years and another in the vein of Arceus?

I'm pretty sure that Scarlet and Violet will be in the same vein as Arceus, which feels somewhere along the lines of an tech demo. But I wonder if how the next pair will actually stop you from taking on the strongest gym leader ASAP.

Arceus, which feels somewhere along the lines of an tech demo.

Brave of you saying that. I've seen people get the shit beat out of them for claiming that Arceus is anything less than perfection.

This thread isn't exactly the super Pokemon fan club, so he's good. I wouldn't call Arceus the perfect pokemon game either, just a step in the right direction.

I'm pretty sure that I can hold my own against the average soy-faced consoomer.

Besides, it's looks halfway decent. It just needs something more than just playing "catch & release."

I wonder what other words you could spell with Unown.

Here's to hoping we can get some Pokemon added to Arceus as DLC. The game's dex as is is good, but some extra mons would be great.

Too autistic to play Arceus.

Best case scenario, they'll do it Liquid Crystal style where all the gyms are subject to flexible level scaling, but that would more than likely come at the cost of having an actual plot.

 

[The handsome tard]

Yes.

Maybe if they had kept Palkia's arms it might've looked more "complete". Like a centaur or something.

The whole "origin" thing is just basically discount Primal Evolution from the Gen 3 remakes.

Its literally the same gimmick with a different name
