What happened?

Evolution.

I unironically think that 99% of all designs from gen IV and onwards are completely awful.

Realworld animals exist in pokemon

the indian elephant ate it.

>>26685545
Okay.

>>26685545
Cool. Why are you here then?

>>26685545

I feel sorry for the kids of today.

The left is the personification of the concept of an apex predator which an Ekans would have innate terror of. The right is just a Zangoose.

Alright you wise guys.. try to explain THIS one!

>>26685519
>1996-2000
Pokemon taking itself for what it was: just a weird anime about elemental monsters in the real world.

Real world problems existed (the mafia) and Pokemon are simply for hobbiest or professionals. Regular people watch it like a sport, but like in real life, probably don't play sports all day, because they have real jobs and lives.

The strongest Pokemon are still basic.

>2001-present
Pokemon taking itself too seriously.

Pokemon are suddenly a huge part of the world; there are no more real animals, nor real jobs. Everyone is a trainer.


Trying to shoehorn moral lessons into everything. The villains are suddenly Dragonball Z tier lame and crazy.

The strongest Pokemon are demigods, who created humans

There's your problem.

are you talking about the anime or the games

Inaccurate info. Animals do exist in Pokémon Earth.

>>26685833

>>26685875

A Real World Butterfly can be seen flying around in Pokémon X and Y during Pokémon battles in the background.

So this is two fishermen tangling hooks?

>>26685875

Actually, A Real World Butterfly can be seen flying around in Pokémon X and Y during Pokémon battles in the background.

>>26685875
In actualiaty, A Real World Butterfly flies around in Pokémon Xand Y during battles. It's in the background.

>>26685985
this isnt even proof pokemon are still animals
theres dozens of better dex entries you could pick

>>26686055
Well, I guess it's just a doggie dog world then. Lol.

>>26685875
Contrary to popular belief, A Real World Butterfly can be seen flying around in Pokémon X and Y during Pokémon battles - in the background

>>26685875
Why halfway through Johto specifically?

>>26685875
True.

>>26686009
>>26686027
>>26686041
>>26686097
Prove it

Hoenn

>>26686282
Well, there is A Real World Butterfly in the background scenes of battles, in Pokémon X and Y.

>>26686311
Prove that it is specifically a real world Butterfly and not a Pokémon that displays characters similar to a butterfly.

>>26685545
>>26685705
kill yourself

>>26685875
There's an actual butterfly who appears in XY in some battle's background.

>>26685865
Christ he's beautiful.

>>26685545
And you, sir, are the cancer that's killing this franchise.

>>26685985
Fuck off Richard

>>26685545

That has nothing to do with the OP since Zangoose is gen 3

>Implying Gen 1 Mongoose is better

>>26685545
>gen 1
>the "IT JUST GETS BIGGER" gen
>good

>gen 2
>a gen so unmemorable people relate Skarmory, Lanturn, Chinchou, slugma, marcargo, natu, xatu to 3rd gen more than 2nd gen
