#atmosphere. ''your pokemon don't look dead'' is such a funny quote to me im sorry

[moonscape]

watching a video on the best and worst parts of every main series pokemon game and it's so funny that this guy is like "red and blue wasn't afraid to be dark unlike the modern games are seemingly allergic to" and then cites the raticate fan theory as proof of that (heavy emphasis on it being a fan theory. a very likely untrue one at that). i guess the canon reveal that the professors in scarlet and violet were actually dead during the entire game because they were violently slaughtered by a rampaging monster and their neglected son was none the wiser to their fate or lusamine freezing pokemon alive in a cryonic state while she abuses her children or the entirety of jubilife village exiling a teenager and leaving them to die in the wilderness is weaksauce for babies.
