>Who the fuck wrote the Pokedex this gen?
Maybe the fucking rotom who posseses it? It's a fucking ghost pokémon if you forgot.

>>31391667
This is a blue board anon.

>>31391667
Awful headcanon.

>>31391628
Who wrote the dex entries period? They were always garbage.

>raichu's pokedex entry still talks about elephants

i'm mad. i'm fucking mad

>>31391688
I wanna see this

>>31391688
So deviantart wrote it.

>>31391628
>He didn't read the one about the turtle that literally SHITS BOMBS.
I mean, they can't all be winners.

>>31391695
Seriously, what was Gamefreak thinking?

The ORAS writer. Not kidding.

>>31391678
But it is Rotom

>>31391628
>pokedex entries are written by the player upon catching a pokemon
>sm pokedex is so dark because MC is a sociopath, which explains why they always smile

>>31391682
Maybe some of them were written by the protagonists who were explicitly tasked with going out and writing dex entries.

nice digits btw

>>31391628
Or maybe science march on and pokemon biology is more accurate, rather than full with urban legend bullshit like prior gen?

>Charizard's flames can reach up to 10,000,0000,000 degrees C
Sure sounds like something a 10 year old would write, but how the fuck do they know what an elephant is? Come to think of it a vast number of Pokemon seem to be identified as [name of real animal] Pokemon

>>31391628
Oh shit, it's almost like animals eat each other out in the wild!

>>31391688
ha ha

>>31391628

The Pokédex automatically make data records information on a Pokémon.

>>31392483
so mew cannot learn crabhammer?

>>31392556
Can Mew learn Me First?

>>31391628
My guess is that GF is planning on more world-building, hence the more explicit predator-prey relationship between Pokemon.
This is in contrast to the earlier gen, where most of the entries is something like
>It can punch a thousand times in a second
>It is as hot as the sun
>It can cut a boat in half

>>31392570
Is "Me First" "Crabhammer"?

>>31392661
It can be.

>>31392621
Well, it is pretty important to finding Mareanie which I thought was neat.

>>31392736
This. The dex should have more indications like that, at least it would be useful.

>>31391948
>that long, vacant stare after Battle Buffet
I believe it.

>>31392110
Early installment weirdness.

>>31391667
You can collect entries before rotom enters the dex.

>>31391628
>Pokedex treats pokémon like actual animals
HOW DARE HE

>>31393217
but pokemon aren't animals

>Look it up
>It's true
What the hell? They couldn't even be bothered to change it to, I don't know, the elephant pokemon?

>>31393303
Well, to be fair, it can't do shit to the Elephant Pokemon. They left it as it probably to give the impression that there are still more types of Elephant Pokemon.

>>31393248
Yes they are.

>>31393248
Retard

>>31393303
This all to set us up for the India region. Which will somehow not have any elephants

>>31391667

A professor asks you to go collect data on Pokemon that already have data preloaded into the system and a lot of which is just hearsay that have existed about said Pokemon for ages.

This has been going on since Gen 1 and its still retarded.

>>31391628
>>This Pokemon fucking murders shit and devours their chunks


You mean like pokemon entries since red/green?

>>31393248
Owls are not birds?

You only notice it because a few hundred pokemon have been written new entries, something GF hasnt done since gen 3.

But keep forgetting how Ekans is descriibed as a pokemon who eats pidgey eggs or farfatch d's only noteable characteristic is being stewed

>>31393566
no they aren't, animals exist too as shown through dialogue and dex entries in the games.

For example, why would hau use the expresion "chicken-skin" and not torchic skin or something like that?

>>31393615
not an argument, fuckface.

>>31393670
of couse they aren't

>>31393744
>Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms of the kingdom Animalia (also called Metazoa).
They're multicellular, animate creatures, they're fucking animals. With the exceptions of the ghosts I suppose.

>>31391682
Nobody writes them. The dex writes itself upon catching a Pokémon.
>Oh, right! I have a request for you two. On the desk there is my invention, the Pokédex! It automatically records data on Pokémon you've seen or caught.
>automatically
>AUTOMATICALLY

>>31393792
>With the exceptions of the ghosts I suppose
here's when the problem surfaces. There's too many exceptions and no clear definition of what makes something a pokemon. Not just ghosts, but several poison types (like grimmer and garbodor), electric types (magnemite and voltorb), rock types (onix, rogenrola) and graass types in general. You cant tell me dhelmise is an animal, or that geodude is, or that victrebell is. But they are all pokemon. They seem more like part of their own kingdom.

>>31393303
We need more elephant pokemon.

>>31393850
Ok, so because there's surreal and supernatural apparitions, that means Ekans isn't a snake and Pidgey isn't a bird.

>>31393997
They're the snake pokemon and the bird pokemon. Not a snake and a bird. Birds can't summon hurricanes, snakes cant summon giant explosive seeds.

oh no, super powered animals are savage!

That's not huggable!

>>31394024
So because it can do magic it's not an animal?

>>31391628
Normalfags love that kinda shit because it makes them all wish for a "serious and dark pokemon that portrays how dangerous these creatures really are." with mature elements for mature gamers such as themselves.

>>31394024
>birds can't summon hurricanes
Must be a nice place where you live in

>>31394063
well, yeah. Animals can't do magic. They're also supposed to be biologically indistinguishable from metalic birds and wyverns in pidgey's case, and literal fucking dragons in ekans'.

>>31394082
not on purpose I assume

>>31394105
>Real world biology
>children's video game

Nice. Never seen it used that way.

Has anyone pointed out how painful mega evolution is yet?

Like are they hating mega evolution and want us to think it's bad subconsciously?

>>31394125
not real world biology, I meant it in the case of the egg groups. In order to breed they must have the same reproductive organs and such.

And if we don't apply any effort then we can just leave it at they aren't animals because they're implied to be so.

>>31394176
Doesn't Garchomps hands melt and Glalies jaw break?

>>31394207

That seems to be the case. Make us think it's bad so they have a reason to phase it out.

>>31394204
>not real world biology
>but they must have the same parts because of real world biology

Nice work, made me reply again.

>>31394207
Yep. And apparently metagross became a machine that only focuses on how to win, salamance's wings can slice people's head clean, and kangaskhan is worried that her children is growing up to be a turbo jock. I wish we got a national dex or some sort so I can know what the other megas feel like, such as mawile and altaria.

>>31394226
then apply point two. Its obvious there are other animals in the pokemon universe and pokemon are not implied to be animals either.

>>31394105
People can't do magic either, yet they don't really cease being people just because they can do magic in a piece of fiction.

>>31393792

Your problem is already in there. There's nothing stating they're eukaryotic, or that they're in the kingdom of Animalia. They're creatures, but not animals. Just like a plant isn't an animal.
