This leads to another controversial question where are all the grown up males from Pokemon universe? And I don't mean old people but the middle aged guys you know

There are plenty of NPC's in the Pokemon world that are middle aged (or assumed so ) guys. You have the hiker, the sailormen, and the fishermen.

Then you have general NPCs in various hotels, and houses that for the most part we can assume are middle aged or close to it.

The plot of X and Y... Well I don't want to spoil anything, but... coffin. Tiny tiny coffin.

You just made me feel heart broken again...T_T... and yeah read that in Doofenshmirtz's voice. lol

EDit: Pokemon getting Kiddier? ***** Please > Darkrai.

I would find this funnier, if Zero Punctuation hadn't made this joke already. Personally, I think there are far more worrying things about Pokemon, including the fact that you're basically making animals fight for your pleasure and dressing them up (again, for your pleasure).

I've been wondering. What program do you use to draw? Photoshop?

Though thinking about, trying to teach kids in the Pokemon world might a bit tricky. Science in particular might be a bit of a problem.

Teacher: "... which turns the turbine, thus generating electricity."

*Student raises hand*

Teacher: "Yes Jimmy"

Student: "But why not just use a Pikachu instead?"

Teacher: "BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT! WE NEED TO LEARN THE THEORY BEHIND IT ALL, I KEEP TELLING YOU THIS!"

Student: "But why when using an electric Pokemon is easier?"

*Teacher begins to sob on the floor*

The world of Pokémon always reminded me of the world of Harry Potter: everyone is an uneducated idiot who compensates for that with magic/Pokémon.

What did you forget all the Power Plants, Sea Vessels, Aircraft and other pretty much non-Pokemon relevant locations and technology the game presents you with all the time? A good section of the trainers you fight are other professionals like Engineers, sailors, scientists (of various disciplines), Chefs, waiters etc.

Pokemon Training in the Pokemon universe is like something you can do, but it doesn't define your life unless you want it to. And considering all the bitching people do around here about how we coddle children, you'd think they'd be a-okay with sending them out to walk the Earth with nothing but their wits and a loyal companion to keep them alive.

I don't even want to think what their erotic novels are like.
i'm, so, so sorry.

50 Shades of Pokemon is the new best seller!

"But you have pokemon" "These were forced upon me."

Now you got me picturing Adam Jensen as a trainer "But you have pokemon..." "...I never asked for this..."

Pokemon romance novels, a tale of star crossed lovers amies...

It's true, everyone does seem to have Pokemon knicknacks in their cupboards... I can't stop checking them for loot though.

I can't help but be reminded of this article... [http://www.cracked.com/blog/3-books-from-dinosaur-eroticas-most-prolific-author/] Only with Pokemon, naturally...

Because you might kill it? I mean think about what type your using the amount of power needed to power said home. The teacher in question could easily spin this into a question. How much power do you need to keep your electricity going? What kind of Electric Poke'mon are you using? What is it's limit? Questions like that.

Even if it would not kill the Pokemon, it would need to eat to produce energy, so it might not be practical.
There are also other possible problems, like how the output of an organic creature might have power-spikes or something.

I remember in the anime the Pokecenter used Pikachus as an emergency power supply, though. It was clear it was a short-term thing.

That's something I always remembered wondering about with my brief (gen 1-3) experience with Pokémon....

"Why the fuck is EVERYTHING in this world based around these little buggers?!"

That's actually not a bad question. I mean, I get that it's a big deal in that world,and as such, different companies using these amazing creatures for different reasons and products. That is understandable. What isn't however, is what if somebody just wants a good mystery story or fantasy/adventure story in this world? Would they look at him like he was crazy? I like Poke'mon, sure, but there's a limit.

And not just books and movies, but everything in the world.

You walk into a town and say

"Where's the grocery store?"
"What are you talking about? The PokeMart? Well it's right over there."
"No, I don't have a Pokémon, I just want to pick up some groceries...you know...for myself."
"Kid, you're talkin' crazy talk."

I understood the pokemon craze.... WHEN I WAS 14 AND RED AND BLUE HAD JUST COME OUT! I was a serious pokemaniac then, I could recite the poke-rap and all that, but when they added 100 more I called it quits because I already had all 151, I won pokemon and they can't take that from me if I don't play their new shit

It was a fun RPG but they kept taking it kiddier and kiddier, that may sound weird considering its a kids series, but the originals had a lot of violence and angry pokemon. There was also alot of "mature content"(no, not sex you perv), I remember the original description for parasec having to do with the fungus eating into its hosts brain and hijacking its body.... that's pretty creepy for a kids game.

I was reminded of this.

I hope I'm pretty far off base but that's what it reminded me of.
