i remember when my mom revealed this to me and i was like thats funny because pokemon is japanese and she was like yeah.........

my personal trivia about pokemon is that when i was just a wee babby it released and became a huge fad in america and my immigrant mom wanted me to grow up understanding american culture so she bought the pokemon movie VHS tapes and that was my first exposure to pokemon

been saying this with my oomfs but the next pokemon game i need the huge insane moment at the end to be like pokemon the first movie where ash bodyblocks for pikachu and fucking dies

it is definitely bc X is blue and Y is red but also they definitely picked those colors because France. to that end i propose that we add monster green to the french flag for zygarde representation

been mentally damaging my friends by telling them that the colors on zygarde 100%'s chest are France

me n my girl

It's kind of funny how the legends za gang are definitely still kids like everyone calls you a kid and one of your teammates offhandedly mentions dealing with his parents at home but at the same time they're like running a hotel and taking loans from the mob

?

I thought it was cool how they actually took your photo for this lol i was like if this were 14 you would just be a blank picture

c'est moi (said while pronouncing every letter)

I can post my boy who i love and who looks really good in uncanned cutscenes (of which there are like 2 in the game)

Story can be completely nothing but in a sufficiently stylish and well directed sequence i can forget all of that and simply enjoy how well done it all is

rly wish i could post screenshots from the ending sequence but a lot of my friends are playing through rn and i dont want to spoil. but it was such a cool and stylish sequence. living my 5 year old self's pokemon movie dreams

.

ok legends za dump incoming bc i have been taking a lot of screenies and video and its kind of annoying to transfer from my switch so i do it all at once

he is french

VIVE LE FRANCE

obviously it isn't everyone and i also am a strong believer in not demonizing people based on internalized beliefs that they should be given the opportunity to inspect and reflect upon but like. This makes being in those spaces highly unpleasant for me lol

I have felt this in spaces where everyone is referring to dnd races as "kinds" or whatever because they're uncomfortable using the word race but are completely fine with implying that all asian people carry some sort of problematic taint

While i'm reminiscing about this i also want to mention it's offputting to me how white dnd nerds often feel more concerned about fantasy racism or whatever as opposed to actual racism

thinking fondly back on when i was 12 and my friend group was all older white nerds i dont think i even need to describe how bad that was for my self image in retrospect

I have made my own space that i enjoy and i'm quite happy not interacting with anyone who would disrespect me but idk. I am someone who would have liked all that nerd stuff but the association with bad experiences is too strong sometimes

a certain amount of white nerds enjoy insanely shitting on anything that isn't their flavor of nerd so like anime stuff earns their disrespect but also broadly just like... asian people? The things i have seen and dealt with man i truly feel sometimes there is no place for me in that space

A part of me dislikes engaging with what i can only crudely describe as white nerd hobbies because of how many times white nerds have been racist to me in my life lol like now i've just formed a fucking association or something and can't enjoy it as much as i could have. That sucks ass
