This is now a Nanu thread

>>30483901
This, he's a policeman. It's what he lives for.

As a kahuna has an obligation to his island. Even disregarding that and the shitfit the Tapu would probably throw, it could be that he values his life (however shitty it may be) too much after witnessing what he did, inability to abandon his catmons, or the fact that Acerola would have nobody else if he went and pulled the trigger.

Who else will feed his kitties?

Sometimes you realize that the world is a big place for one man to make a difference. It doesn't mean that you want to give it all up, but there's only so much you can achieve by struggling against the tides of the universe.

Who else will feed the grunts in Po Town?

I always wonder if he let his real fighting team out of their pokeball and let them roam around the house full of meowths.

>>30483857
His Meowths. He loves them all very much despite not outwardly showing it.

>>30483857
Being apathetic isn't really enough to commit suicide, you have to be in a profoundly selfish state of mind to work yourself up to it. You have to minimise and disregard the thoughts, opinions, needs and feelings of everybody else in your life and completely prioritise your own self-centred want to die over the top of it. As checked out as Nanu is, I don't think he would consider his friends, Pokemon, community, and police/kahuna duties to be worth nothing in order to abandon them forever.

>>30484466
>You have to minimise and disregard the thoughts, opinions, needs and feelings of everybody else in your life and completely prioritise your own self-centred want to die over the top of it.
This thought process can be flipped right around.

>>30483857
Who would feed his Meowth?

>>30483857
There exists an afterlife in Pokemon. And that mostly seems to consist of your grudges being reincarnated as ghost pokemon who go on to suck the life out of people who are still alive.

Not exactly nice.

>>30483857
That can also be aimed at all who come to 4chan.

People talk about how there isn't really any memorable gym leader in the past couple of gen and he comes out of nowhere. It not really hard to figure out why he is so popular in /vp/ at the moment

/VP/ wants his dussy

>>30483857
He's more of an annihilist then depressed. Plus suicide weeds out the weak and selfish. He has cats to take care of.

>>30486242
>an annihilist
"a nihilist" you moron.

So is he basically Poke76?

>>30484536
Then we have the same answer: cats

>if he killed himself he might come back as a pokemon and make acerola even sadder

>>30486825
Why would that maker Acerola sadder?

>>30486825
>you will never be Acerola's pokemon

He's old and tired but he seems pretty happy overall.

>>30486900
Maybe some form of survivor's guilt? The life-leeching tendencies of ghost Pokémon aside, she would likely feel awful that she didn't/was unable to do anything to keep him alive; in spite of her (attempts at) support she was just an inconsequential, annoying noise.

this is how i imagined it at least, but it only works in the context of the thread where the assertion is that he'd kill himself.

>>30483857
Because his existence is now buying me sushi sets and giving me heart scales.

>>30484466
fuck you idiot

he failed to protect po town
and Looker let his partner die

>>30488830
Maybe is about some partner than was killed by UB or something?

>>30488830

Not sure if >>30488866 is being sarcastic, but in case he isn't... in the post-game plotline, it's revealed that Nanu's partner got eaten by an ultra beast a few years ago. That might have something to do with it.

>>30483857
The Tapu won't let him.

>>30488830
Could just be his personality.

>>30484576
>Implying some if not most of us aren't already like that

>>30489270
Not him, but I forgot about that detail. They got eaten by Guzzlord, right? What a fucking way to go, eaten alive by the shittiest UB.

>>30483857
they took his badge and his gun

Guns don't exist in the Pokemon world and police don't carry them.

>>30484466
The same could be said about being forced to live a hellish life with constant unamenable suffering for the sake of other people.

Guzma's manpucci

>>30491162
NO HE'S MY MANPUCCI

>>30483857
He's in no way depressed. He's just the classic apathetic character trope. Sorta like an old Batman.

>>30491162
Did anyone else think Nanu was related to Guzma when he first showed up?

kind of, maybe not as much gruff as soldiers and more sigh-ey

>>30488487
Lost

>>30484257
A picture of Nanu feeding Skull Grunts like an old lady feeds birds popped into my head.

threadly reminder that he's not related to acerola in any way

everyone in this fuckin game calls each other "uncle" and "auntie" and "cousin"

He may be depressed, but I think he stays because he sees kids that are excited about their trials, and he doesn't want to doom anyone else to this bullshit

What did he do

A character like him wouldn't even see the point in killing themselves, so the thought doesn't cross his mind.

His apathetic as fuck.

>>30483857

He's apathetic, not depressed. Suicide is not even an option for the likes of him.

>>30484576
to be honest the only reason I haven't killed myself yet is because the only people who love me are my parents, and they're not dead yet

once they're dead I can kill myself but until then I can't do it in good conscience.

>>30492049

It's an easy mistake to make considering he has tons of a Pokemon bred by the royal family.

>>30483857
1, He's a Police officer
2, he has no real reason to kill himself
I am apathetic just like him and have no plans to kill myself, as it accomplishes nothing

>>30493080
It's not like alolan meowth's origins hold any weight anymore

They're so common now that schoolchildren can find those shits on the playground during recess

Did you even play the game? He obviously has things to live for, and isn't sick of living, or is he apathetic of everything.
