    It’s the companys fault for looking at the 151 and saying, what if we replaced all this with random bullshit? I miss the og pokemon. I tried playing newer games but damn, it’s pure chaos.

      ah yes
      the original 151
      with such treasures of creative genius as purple rat
      another rat
      and my personal favorite
      some eggs

          I’ve heard it argued that Jynx was a parody of Harajuku fashion, which really only kicks the racism down one more step

            No… The original is not debatable if you know how racist Japanese artists depict black people.

            That’s just some weeb cope and as you mention even then it isn’t even good at it.

        that in terms of human companionship, Flareon is objectively the most huggable Pokemon? While their maximum temperature is likely too much for most, they are capable of controlling it, so they can set themselves to the perfect temperature for you. Along with that, they have a lot of fluff, making them undeniably incredibly soft to touch. But that’s not all, they have a very respectable special defense stat of 110, which means that they are likely very calm and resistant to emotional damage. Because of this, if you have a bad day, you can vent to it while hugging it, and it won’t mind. It can make itself even more endearing with moves like Charm and Baby Doll Eyes, ensuring that you never have a prolonged bout of depression ever again.
