This is less true for me than others because I spent 80% of my time in Pokemon X in Pokemon Aimie playing games with, petting, and feeding my Pokemon rather than battling with them
But yeah.
And this is why Digimon was always the proletarian choice!
…
I’m sorry, I’ll see myself out …
Never really tried the games but the Digimon anime was objectively better than the Pokémon anime and I will fight anyone who says otherwise
Digimon slaps so fucking hard
Pokemon is cockfighting, Mario massacres Goombas and turns by the hundreds in any given game and we know from Paper Mario they’re fully sentient and about equal to human intelligence, the star fox team are a PMC, Samus has blown up 3 planets, maybe more ans wiped out 2 species, sorta 3 if you count Evil Beak or whatever from Dread, he was likely the last Chozo. None of this shit really makes any sense and it’s pretty senseless to go thst deep into it. Especially if you’re being serious.
Diegetic essentialism 101, it leads people to ask deeply unserious and frankly stupid questions like: “is superman actually a socialist?”. Like, no , unless superman is written as such, he’s not. These fantasy worlds you escape into? Theyre written a certain way by its authors, and no amount of nerd slapfighting online will change that, please stop wasting your time.
SMT negotiations are by far my favorite monster-collecting methods. Just equal parts philosophy, flirtation, and gibberish as they vibe check you.
I IMPLORE you all to read this https://hexbear.net/post/763625, diegetic essentialism is a waste of time and infantilizes you. Please, stop it.
