I know it's unrealistic but i've been hoping they go even further and eventually just let you play as Pokémon by default. Cut out the middlehuman and all
1996: "are you a boy or a girl?"
2024: "are you a human or... oh who am i kidding, you're a pokemon, aren't you"
In 1996 they also created Bill and i'm sure that immediately made people jealous lmao
there's a new feature added in the latest pokemon dlc that lets you play as your own pokemon! in the image here, joe is playing as his own shiny delibird, to trick his wife into thinking she found a shiny in the wild! :3
i'm not really sure what Joe is doing to warrant getting a divorce?
best guess is that's Joe's shiny and he was fuckin with her at length pretending to be a catchable wild shiny pokémon
I can see why everybody's excited both from the gameplay standpoint and it exists in settings so canonical embodying Pokemon mode is possible
very true!! in the moment i thought it'd be funnier without context, but thinking about it more it's infinitely funnier imagining that the guy who's done unfathomable amounts of pokemon documentation in the past 24 years is the guy who doesn't "get" it
