Random Thoughts II

In the popular franchise of Pokemon, why did Pokemon automatically like you after you imprisoned them? If that happened to me I'd try to escape or injure my captor.

They have no choice. Either that or they are brainwashed. Pikachu didn't like Ash. Pokemon is wierd and stupid.

Met said...

In the video games for pokemon they don't like you at first. You eventually work you're way up to building their trust. Pokemon our week willed creatures otherwise they'd break out all the time.

Regardless of their weak will, what about how they seem as intelligent as humans. Why haven't there been wars against them? That's the real question.

Met said...

PokeWars, lol. Maybe there have and we've never heard about it. Maybe it's like asking why we've never had wars against chickens, pokemon don't have to be smart they have to be obedient.

Reogan said...

But that's the problem. Pokemon are smart. They understand humans, and Pikachu was Ash's best friend. They are as smnat so why aren't we dead?

Met said...

because the lack sufficient will to start a war (not all pokemon like each other too).

Reogan said...

I'm surprised the humans haven't started one against them, though. We are really quite cruel creatures when we want to be. Or even when we don't.

Met said...

Yeah, Pokemon seems like a semi-Utopia.

Reogan said...

But is it really? Or is there a secret dark underworld waiting to eradicate the planet of all Pokemon? Or has it already happened!

Met said...

The thought had occurred to me...

Reogan said...

In a way, it's simaler to what Douglas Adams said in the hitchikers guide to the galaxy series: 'There is a theory that states that if anyone discovers how, and for what reason, the Universe exists, it will instantly be replaced with something even more bizarre. Another theory states that this has already happened.'

Met said...

I'm inclined to think the same result would occur if time travel were ever to happen.

Reogan said...

Actually, according to Adams, time travel has simply made the past as modernized as the present, and has really muddled history. For example, an ion factory stretched so far back in time, that a certain cathedral was never created. Postcards of that cathedral suddenly became immensly valuble.



And, no. I don't see what this has to do with the original post.

Met said...

You're the one who dragged us hitch hiking. Pokemon are too much like animals.

Reogan said...

Except more violent. WHy do they all like to fight?

Met said...

They don't, we force them to. When they battle in the wild they are defending those who intruded on their territory.

Everybody knows that there were real pokemon wars, with humans. Slowly, the villians were replaced by idiot team rocket people. You would know there were really wars if you had to watch a Pokemon movie about Lucario with a 5th grader friend who is usually normal. It was not my idea to watch it. Anyway, they had armor and generals, and all that cool stuff, they should make shows of it when they did that stuff. It might actually boost it's way up from off the stupid scale.

Met said...

Pokemon actually appeals to a lot of people.
