Captainsnoop I Was Playing Pokemon Blue on Stream Earlier at 350% Speed and I Got to Thinking What if the Reason Nobody in the Pokemon World Has Any Good Teams Is Because Its Considered a Dick Move to Have a Proper Team Comp Like Culturally Everyone Is Like Haha Pick the Pokemon You Want! If You're Happy With Three Geodudes Thats You and Your Life! And Then You're Supposed to Just Have a Friendly Battle With Any Other Pokemon Trainers and Whatever Pokemon They Just Happen to Have Like the Average Trainer Is Probably Just Walking Around With a Growlithe Because That's Their Pet or a Hiker Has Three Geodudes Because the Geodudes Help Him With Hiking and if This Pet Owner and Geodude Hiker Meet You're Supposed to Have a Friendly Battle but Nothing Too Serious Now Imagine the 10 Year Old Kid That Has Six Pokeballs on Their Belt Comes Up You're Like Haha We'll Have a Friendly Battle! And You Throw Out Your Geodude and They Throw Out a Fucking Gyarados and It One-Shots Your Geodude and Then You Throw Out Your Pidgey You Have Because the Pidgey Helps You Navigate Mountains Because You're a Hiker and Then Electricity Crackles Around the Gyarados and a Thunderbolt Flies Off of This Giant Dragon and Evaporates Your Pidgey So You're Down to Your Last Pokemon You Tell Them You're Gonna Send Out Your Bulbasaur the Ten Year Old Is Like Oh Okay in That Case I'm Gonna Pull Out My Vulpix Like Not Only Is This Kid Walking Around With an Amped-Up Super Dragon but Theyve Also Got Multiple Pokemon Specifically for Making Type Advantage Counter-Picks? This Kid's a Fucking Asshole! Really Kid? What Are You Trying to Prove Here? This Is a Friendly Match Between Strangers for Fun! Why Are You Composing Real-Ass Competitive Teams? What a Fucker! Jumpingjacktrash I Mean if You Look at How Npc's Talk About Their Pokemon They're Service Animals Mostly Some of Them Are Just Pets Apparently They Really Enjoy Sparring So You Let Them Battle Other People's Pokemon for Socialization It's Like Going to the Dog Park Hell Yes I'd Be Mad if I Took My Chronic Pain Support Chow-Chow to the Dog Park and Some Asshole With Four Rottweilers and a Husky Was Like SIC EM THUNDERNUTS Even if My Dog Enjoyed the Tussle at First Look Kid the Paras Helps Me Weed the Garden It's Not a Special Forces Attack Paras It's Just a Bug That Eats Dandelions Please Calm Down Maxiesatanofficial This Is Precisely Why Cooltrainers Are Exiled to the Mountains Source Captainsnoop a Very Long Post About Pokémon
