This is so sad
On the plus side, Mr. Mime will be able to spend more time with Ash's mom.
I used to be able to name them all back when there was only 150 of the lil fuckers.
I miss those simpler times. Just the whisper of the possibility of 151 was so powerful. Nowadays every five minutes they're finding random inanimate objects, drawing faces on them, and adding them to the list.
I kinda stopped caring pretty early on when they introduced 26 of 'em that were literally just letters.
In fairness they aren't 26 separate pokemon, Unown can just be in one of the 26 shapes.
I feel the same way. There's just too many and there's too much work to swap around pokemon for counters and strengths/weaknesses etc. I liked the old days where you were able to select like six or so pokemon to be your buddies and rock through the entire adventure together.
The ever expanding list of Pokemans is going to be the millennial boomer humor, isn't it?
I mean, one of the legendaries is basically a starter that you ride like a motorcycle. It's too easy to make fun of.
Don't forget the pinnacle of Pokemon: a sentient pair of keys
Also literally a sword
The key ring and the trash bag were the final straw for me
The Pokemon rap helped make it easier though.
Where's the current PokeRap with all checks notes 1,025 Pokemon?
It probably lasts 10 hours.
Brian David Gilbert did 812, albeit with audience participation.
You're doing Mew dirty...
Dear Game Freak,
There are too many Pokemon. Please eliminate 800. I am not a crackpot.
I'm sure with some re-training they'll be able to acquire new skills in emerging markets that'll offer a competitive salary and opportunities for advancement.
Palworld may have some openings
Just roll back to 2nd gen. Keep a few of the cute ones and you're good.
3rd gen. Nobody is doing Mudkip dirty like that!
3rd gen + new eeveelutions. That's it.
just gen 5 /s
Rowlett fans in shambles.
It's me. I'm Rowlett fans.
Rowlett's cute. They can stay
I mean, you're fairly close. "The Pokémon Company" publishes most pokémon stuff in Japan (though the mainline games are developed by GameFreak and are distributed worldwide by Nintendo).
Well, if they're laying off 300 pokemon, I hope that doesn't hurt our changes of having a Let's Go Jynx and Let's Go Porygon game release in the next decade.
What's Senior Mimic doing in the Palworld zone!
