We already knew humans and pokemon 'got married' in the franchise.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Did we?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago

Yeah, I thought that even made it to the English translation in Diamond/Pearl?

I know they changed it for BD/SP

[-] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Yes, and I'm pretty sure it was even more explicit outside of the English translation.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago

oh god damnit they canonized the Vaporeon copy pasta

[-] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

That's about the only thing keeping the franchise going since Nintendo stopped trying.

Some call it the Overwatch effect.

I'm guessing the hackers are releasing both actual and fake leaks, just to get attention. Do some damage until GF gives in to their demands, wich I presume they made.

Just don't believe anything that could easily be made up.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

I mean there's already several references in several of the games to Pokemon being married with humans and other little "jokes" this isn't that big a leap of logic

[-] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

Nothing disturbing about them. They just copy pasted Japanese lore and replaced the yokai with Pokemon. It's laziness, not perversion

[-] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

I have a real hard time believing these are real. Those stories are nuts, but in a completely nonsensical way. They seem like AI generated spooky stories to me, someone just trying to jump in on the leak drama.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Even if they're "real" the decision was made to not release them. They're stories that were specifically chosen to not be canon.

Not yet*

Some of the leaks are 100% real, like the source code for BW and HGSS and the personal info of various employees.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah, definitely, I'm not questioning the leaks as a whole, just this story. Big leaks like this are a great opportunity for trolls to throw made up stuff in the mix to try to get it to go viral.

These couple stories just seem really disjointed and without any real structure or meaning. It could certainly be just a mediocre writer playing around at writing fairy tales, or maybe I'm missing context due to translation or something, but I don't know, just kinda reads like AI written stuff to me.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

I see what your saying, but none of it that I've read so far hits my AI button. Like it doesn't sound like AI, it's just sounds like something you'd write in a notebook and forget about.

I could see some of it being fake just to stir up attention, yeah.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Hey guys, did you know that...

NGL is actually get interested in Pokemon again if they came with more ~~mature~~ complex storylines.
