Still On My Pokemon Thoughts - I Definitely Think That, Besides The Fact That It's A Video Game And They

Still on my Pokemon thoughts - I definitely think that, besides the fact that it's a video game and they needed to choose an appropriate number of moves for Pokemon to have, the "4-move" rule could be explained away in universe by the "Pokemon Trainer fights are a sport, with actual rules in place to make things as fair as possible considering we're dealing with magically overpowered creatures".

So, like, in the wild, Pokemon *might* know more than four moves. Hell, I think the gods legendaries probably have a lot more abilities than just The Four Moves they have in-game - the fact that they only use 4 before you catch them is only incidental to the fact that you're playing a video game, in real life they'd probably throw a bigger more destructive fuss - and I do wholeheartedly imagine a 10 to 14 year old protagonist just, sitting down with a legendary after catching them, explaining the rules of Pokemon Trainer Fights and if they want to join in on the fun, and also that they can only use Four Moves in actual Pokemon Trainer Fights.

Imagine being the 13 year old with the balls to tell, idk, Kyogre, a god who could flood the entire planet, that since Kyogre is caught now they're going to be besties and also can it please choose four moves to battle with ? Just the four. And as it gets stronger they can forget one to use a better move. And like. This is just hilarious to me okay, a very serious young teen explaining their hobby to a very powerful ancient being, and said being going 'this sounds like fun, sure'.

Guess That Rec: Round 1, Poll 17

Rec #33

Do you want a story about two queer-coded soulmates going on an adventure together to solve a mystery? Do you like found family dynamics? Grumpy tsundere x sunshine pairing? Domestic fluff? What about overcoming trauma and moving on from grief? Not to mention, in fantasy ancient China! Then this is the show for you! Cute sibling dynamics, found family, and queer-coding galore! Plus both of the protagonists are neurodivergent!

Rec #34

Do you like feminism? Do you like dinosaurs? Imagine the perfect fusion. A sex worker, revenge, ✨spice✨, religious crises, sexy priests having religious crises, ninjas, and a sexy priest having a crisis and contemplating murder while wearing a dress.
