Though I'm sure criminal organizations like Team Rocket would be enticed by the destructive power of nuclear weapons.
Imagine how the citizens of the Pokemon world would react to events like the Holocaust, 9/11, and pretty much everything ISIS does. Not to mention how Gym Leaders and the Elite Four would converse with politicians.
Really? Interesting. Do you have a link?Interestingly, I wrote a Pokémon fanwork which mentioned the atomic bombing of Hoenn region, that is the Pokémon World equivalent of atomic bombing of Nagasaki.
Since Nagasaki is in Kyushu region which Hoenn is based on, I tried to write the similar analogues as possible.
(... also, it was really funny rping a Pokemon character in a game with some ordinary animals, he thought of a puppy as the pre-evolutionary form of a Dog).
Could I see that?
Also, that makes sense, non-Pokémon animals seen in the anime, are actually fictional characters like Pokémon (or hello kitti, gudetama, etc) are in our world.
For example there is a bg character that in BW wears a bear head backpack. And a similiar bear is a mascotte for one of the foodstands in SM, could be the same bear and a mascotte of a food company.
It’s a little odd without context and I don’t know how well it’d go over sharing the overall thread (it... is a horror game where the characters are slowly turning into monsters that prey on humans to survive...... and this bit took place during an event with a lot of strife with trying to dispatch dangerous traitors among the monsters, my considerably sheltered trainer (Shootie/Trip, became an Unfezant-looking harpy, hence the bird comment) playing at war (as he does, pragmatic “ends justifies the means” type he is) before getting talked down from it by someone who actually dealt seen war in his world], buuuut also, there was a cute puppy. Yip!), here’s the relevant bit attached!
All my icons are gone since I deleted that journal, alas, so no faces to look at, make do with descriptions.
I guess, in a funny sort of way, that the overall thread is about how even a particularly cynical (child) Pokemon trainer would still be ill-prepared for the true horror and costs of war because they lived wholly removed from it and their world’s a good decade or so removed from it and is now, particularly in the anime, practically a utopia compared to other worlds, is oddly appropriate to the discussion, huh...
Not prepared one bit.
I’d imagine regions where war is an even more distant memory would have it worse, war would sound like a fairy tale to them.
It reminds me of this quote from one of Osamu Tezuka’s experimental animations, Memories, he lived through WWII, but mused that even the memories of war would change (I won’t include caps of the first half, because they’re images of dead soldiers, before they’re replaced with wooden kokeshi dolls):
“Memories of war, even this will change. After ten years, you would think of it as a toy war.”

Ten years is too small for some, but certainly a few decades, especially when the last survivors die, it won’t frighten people as much...

This particular event was definitely edgybut it's how I roll~I just think it's fun to explore canon traits or other things outside of the ordinary boundaries of canon in a less restricted setting,although, in less chaotic times, we had plenty of cute threads too. I won't say anything about Noa since I wouldn't know what parts of it constitute major spoilers or not, yeah, we have a bunch of Yugiou characters! These kinds of games have characters from many different media, so you can get some really fun interactions you wouldn't see anywhere else.
Part of the fun was putting Pokemon trainers in that game like Touya [who is living with Noa, hence why Shootie knows 'em!] in such a game because Touya was Hero of Ideals and he tried his hardest to stick to his nature despite being stuck in dystopia. He still tried to be a good moral chain and good influence as much possible. ^o^;;;
XY had the Ash and Serena date episode where Ash was laughing at the funny face of something in a stand that didn't look like any Pokemon, right? But too detailed to just be a placeholder! (It's kind of Meowth and acorn-like...).

I like the idea of other creatures being mythical or fictional ones, too, that could work! It helps the world feel more real. ;3;
Jigglypuff with Meowth's face!This particular event was definitely edgybut it's how I roll~I just think it's fun to explore canon traits or other things outside of the ordinary boundaries of canon,although, in less chaotic times, we had plenty of cute threads too. I won't say anything about Noa since I wouldn't know what parts of it constitute major spoilers or not, but definitely strongly tied to a weapon of mass destruction kind of plotline.

Meanwhile, Shootie's shtick in canon was trying to prove how grown-up he was, devalued bonding with others as interfering with pursuit of strength (well, before season 2), and commanded a little makeshift army of random trainers [BW 22: Hiun CIty! Fushide Panic!!/A Venipede Stampede] to try take down the swarming Venipede (called Ash's peaceful methodsnaive, stalked and stole intel so he could sabotage Ash and friends' peace effort, basically did everything wrong with good intentionsand one partly selfish motivebecause he was just too cynical to believe peaceful methods could work instead of just. BURN THE VENIPEDE).
About the thing from before, the only images I could find are images where it seems like a cartoon animal is used to replace a not-yet-revealed Pokémon, like a placeholder.
Regarding non-Pokemon mascot characters, [XY 59: Satoshi and Serena's First Date!? The Tree of Promises and the Presents!!/Under the Pledging Tree!] the Ash and Serena date episode where Ash was laughing at the funny face of something in a stand that didn't look like any Pokemon, right? But too detailed and yet not fulfilling a special function that can't be fulfilled by a Pokemon to just be a placeholder!

I like the idea of other creatures being mythical or fictional ones, too, that could work! It helps the world feel more real. ;3; Since even with all of our animals, we still come with our own fantasy creatures, usually by mixing traits! (So, this critter is like Meowth, Jigglypuff, and Cherrim!)
