Seriously, Pokemon being real would be way cooler than god being real.

[–]spongypants3 98 points99 points ago*

personally, if i saw 6ft anthropomorphic mantids with 1 meter long blades for arms flying around id be terrified. going fishing and shit and 12 lochness monster like things come out and shoot off gigantic lasers. walking around the woods and fucking bears shooting off....laser beams and just being awful creatures in general. hell even fucking swimming leads to CONSCIOUS jellyfish to swarm to you...and fire off lasers

i humbly object, you can cure malaria, but not sure about a hyperbeam to the face

[–]schmambuman 33 points34 points ago

So what if you get a few blades and lasers to the face? You'll just faint and wake up in the last Pokemon center you visited.

Blastoise could solve the water supply problems of some countries.

[–]BoneyKing123 1 point2 points ago

obviously you would have your own pokemon to protect you.. i dont see a problem.

[–]BeenJamminMon 1 point2 points ago

What about non-trainers? Is it acceptable to shoot pokemon? What if there was extreme over population and nuisance populations? We already have a problem with feral hogs and cats.

[–]InsanityWolf7 33 points34 points ago

Pokemon would make this world a better place because fuck you.

[–]BoneyKing123 2 points3 points ago

obviously you cannot go to forrest if you are not trainer.. there's a guy that stops you. and overpopulation..? the invention of pokeballs stores them in a very small space + they cant breed inside.. i think we could mannage

[–]stabbitystyle 1 point2 points ago

Just get more trainers! Shit, if anything there'd be a shortage of pokemon because so many people would want to do that.

      [–]RullyisJRM 3 points4 points ago

      Personally, I'd be too terrified of some of the later ones. There's a garbage Pokemon in this generation that will surely give me a nasty infection.

      Terrible memories of getting raped by Jynx and her stupid fucking kiss in Pokémon Stadium begin to resurface

      [–]meanalllowercaseguy 2 points3 points ago

      Well, muk and grimer would live in sewers or toxic plants ( if they were real) so it somewhat makes sense, but trabbish just kind of chills in the tall grass, he's basically a trainer's litter, the muks at least aren't something you see every day in normal society, and has a backstory that kind of works. Trabbish is just garbage.

      [–]ViralDisease 1 point2 points ago

      Actually Trubbish prefer living in garbage dumps. Should be out of the way unless a group of Kindergardeners find one and bring it back to their school and make a garbage fort that almost crushes them.

      [–]BeenJamminMon 1 point2 points ago

      Large portions of the world live in the third world and some of hem live in the dump. I have seen large communities living in the landfill in the Dominican Repuiblic because the make a better living scavaging than working in the city. They provide a crucial recycling network to small third world nations. These sort of people would encounter Trubbish on a regular basis. Would all of these people become pokemon trainers? Would trubbishes be hunted and eaten? How common is Trubbish? Could there be large nuisance populations similar to feral hogs? What are the consequences of Trubbish on the third-world recycling force? Would it e acceptable to hunt and eat them? What about just killed for sport and population control if inedible?

      [–]meanalllowercaseguy 0 points1 point ago

      When i say they're chilling in the grass I mean where you find them in black and white, unless I'm mistaken I believe you find them normally on route, 11. But thank you, I didn't know that.

      [–]ViralDisease 0 points1 point ago

      I was just going off of the anime. I haven't had the chance to play the Black/White generation yet.

      [–]Bandit1379 2 points3 points ago

      If you haven't tried the newer games. Do it. I used to just be a fan of the original 151, but I recently tried out some of the newer games, and they are just as fun as the first ones, if not better, and more in depth.

      [–]James_Arkham 1 point2 points ago

      When I played them, it seemed like I was only fighting sentient garbage bags and ice cream cones.

      [–]James_Arkham 0 points1 point ago

      Exactly. More and more pokemon are just animated everyday objects.

        [–]nomnomgardettos 8 points9 points ago

        Who the fuck is Team Plasma...?

        [–]Flamefury 9 points10 points ago

        Black/White's main enemy gang. Think Team Rocket.

        Team Plasma's goal however was a much more gray area than the Rockets, in that they wanted Pokemon to be free from human control so they could no longer be used for trainer battles against each other.

        [–]LesterDukeEsq 1 point2 points ago

        I really liked how the latest generation didn't go for the all-too-easy "us-good-them-bad" dynamic that nearly every video game ever made has gone for. It was a pleasantly strange experience to find myself actually agreeing with some of the things that the "bad guys" were saying.

          I actually sometimes like to look at RL animals in this light - like, how cool would they be if someone "thought them up" but they didn't exist? I would be supa jelly and want a REAL dog of my very own. Well guess what? I have one, and he's fucking awesome. RL pokemon, bro.

          [–]WrethZ 4 points5 points ago

          ''like, how cool would they be if someone "thought them up" but they didn't exist?''

          Dinosaurs. Imagine if you had never heard of dinosaurs, and then someone showed you a pic of a t-rex, a triceratops and stegosaurus. You'd think they were some sci-fi/fantasy monster. Then when someone told you these things really existed once, your mind would be blown.

          We don't appreciate just how incredible these animals are/were, because we take them for granted due to kids cartoons and stuff.

          Elephants too, giant beasts with a limb for a nose and two giant spikes on their faces.

          [–][deleted] 167 points168 points ago

          This is a repost, but I'm upvoting it anyway. Here's why.

          About four months ago, on my first reddit account, I saw this image. I was an atheist in denial. I told myself I didn't want to go to hell. I needed to believe in God or else I'd go to hell. I had nothing to show for it though. No proof or reason. I just was extremely scared. Then I saw this. And it hit home.

          I even play Pokemon to this day occasionally. All the fun I've had with my pals and adventures I've had. And none of it is real. I can't make it real. I'm stuck here.

          It was that day I told myself to screw God. He couldn't exist. It wasn't the only reason I became an atheist, but this image finally threw me over the fence. I officially began calling myself an atheist and freed myself from religious chains.

          TL;DR - This repost changed my life because I love Pokemon too much.

          Christians who are only Christians so that they get a comfy afterlife are upsetting.

          [–]SethBling 15 points16 points ago

          If I believed Christianity to be true, I'd do everything I could, too, to ensure that I was comfortable for eternity. It'd be a pretty overwhelming concern.

          [–]Wolf_Protagonist 5 points6 points ago

          If I believed Christianity to be true, I think my main concern would be not being tortured for all eternity.

          That would be much more important than having a 'comfy afterlife'.

          [–]SethBling 2 points3 points ago

          Aren't those the same concern?

          [–]Wolf_Protagonist 1 point2 points ago

          Are you pulling an Obi-Wan on me?

          Yes, from a certain point of view living in heaven and doing nothing but praising God for eternity would be torture.

          On the other hand one is simply boring and the other is extreme amounts of pain.

          [–]SethBling 0 points1 point ago

          I'm saying I'd want to ensure that I was comfortable for eternity. You're saying you'd want to ensure that you were not being tortured for eternity. These are the exact same thing. The only two options are going to heaven or going to hell. It's either be tortured or be comfortable.

          [–]Wolf_Protagonist 0 points1 point ago*

          Were We're talking about motivation here, not the outcome.

          You stated it would be a "Primary Concern" for you to ensure you would be comfortable for all eternity.

          My primary concern would be "not being tortured". I could give a fuck less about going to 'heaven'. In fact I would greatly prefer not to go to heaven. I just wouldn't want to go to hell.

          I suppose you could define comfort as 'not being tortured', that is just not how I usually think of the word. If say that a chair I am sitting in is comfortable, I don't mean "Well, it's not burning me or poking me in the balls with spikes."

          On the other hand, I would definitely describe a chair that did burn me and poked me in the balls with spikes as uncomfortable.

          I would say the two things are similar, but not exactly the same.

          [–]SethBling 0 points1 point ago

          There was context to my use of the word "comfortable." It was in contrast to torture. The avoidance of torture was implied.

          This type of semantic discussion is completely useless. You should have understood my intentions and motivation two posts ago when I called comfort-seeking and torture-avoidance identical concerns.

          [–]cyberaltair 2 points3 points ago

          Not only Christians but people of any religion who blindly follow their religion not because they believe it's right, but because it's the means to an end.

            Pokemon: freeing people from a tyrannical 2000 year old religion since 1996

            [–]IggySmiles 6 points7 points ago*

            Honestly, I'm agnostic, and I don't get this logic. Perhaps you can explain it to me better.

            The reason: isn't this world supposed to be basically nothing, in the grand scheme of things? This is just the world that decides if you get into heaven, and lasts for like 60 years, which is no time at all.. Then, after, which is for an infinite period of time, you're in some magical kingdom world, where wonderful shit like pokemon happen and malaria doesn't. So when, say, a tsunami kills thousands of kids, or a kid dies from malaria... in the context of christianity, so what? They just go to heaven, and don't have to live on this relatively shitty world for as long as the rest of us.

            [–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

            Because according to theists, this world was created for us, not just as a purgatory.

            [–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

            It wasn't particularly logic. More emotion. I had already become an atheist logically from all the arguments I heard, but I was in emotional denial. I saw this post and had a sudden anger for god. He couldn't give me what would make me so happy? Instead I have to struggle to survive on this planet alone? And for what?

            And that anger suddenly became nothing. Suddenly there was no more god for me. Suddenly I didn't mind being an atheist.

            Actually Pokemon existed around the same time as dinosaurs. In fact they're the reason dinosaurs became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous period. God was experimenting with new species of animals and decided he wanted to have a different balance of predators vs. prey. As a result he wiped away all evidence of Pokemon and created man, a species that now dominates all others.

            If pokemon were real, wouldn't that be horrible? I mean it's basically cock fighting with sentient beings. In some episodes I think I saw them eat meat, and the only animals are pokemon.....

            [–]WrethZ 2 points3 points ago

            Nitpick here, but chickens are sentient. Blame sci-fi for using sentient to mean sapient.

            Sentient is the intelligence level all conscious animals have, sapient is human level intelligence and self awareness.

            [–]Naberius0 2 points3 points ago

            Not only that, children have almost no adult supervision. In the games they give animals drugs to make them fight better. Then you get into the idea that there are pokemon that created the world, or control time...Yea. I'd be terrified

            [–]big_black_penis 10 points11 points ago

            but look at how happy everybody ends up! they face challenges together, learn valuable lessons, and in the end become better pokemon trainers and better people. i don't know about you, but i'd have rather traveled the length and breadth of north america, with my pokemon and a few pals and their pokemon, camping at night under the stars, exploring new places, meeting new friends, identifying unfamiliar pokemon, and challenging gym leaders. man, this is the best reason to believe in reincarnation. maybe there is a parallel universe of pokemon and my consciousness will reawaken in it when i die in this life.

            [–]Naberius0 7 points8 points ago

            Don't get me wrong, I love the adventure aspect (and I went way over the top with glee when you could make a tree into a house in one version) but there is a bit of horror and terror in having children, barely out of elementary school, given the capability to capture something that can control time, or move mountains. Scary! Fun, but scary!

            My Pokemon team IRL: Magikarp TYRANITAR Magikarp Wobbufett Feebas Magikarp

            Be afraid.

            [–]nomnomgardettos 1 point2 points ago

            3 Magikarps I'M FUCKED GUYS MY METAPOD STANDS NO CHANCE.

            Metapod used harden!

            Defense rose!

            Magikarp used splash!

            Nothing happened!

            Metapod used harden!

            Etc...

            [–]ImmobileLizard 0 points1 point ago

            magikarp would win it has less PP then Harden if i remember and then don't forget about string shot

            [–]nomnomgardettos -1 points0 points ago

            1) Wtf are you talking about? If a pokémon runs out of PP for all moves it doesn't die, it just can't do shit.

            2) String shot doesn't do any damage.

            [–]ExplainsPokemon 1 point2 points ago

            Magikarp having less pp means that it can use struggle first to begin inflicting damage onto the metapod.

            [–]ImmobileLizard 0 points1 point ago

            Your obviously retarded... i didn't say they would die i said they would start using struggle

            Then I'd switch my Magikarp with my Tyranitar and have it use Earthquake. :3 Edit: Or I could get my Magikarp to use Flail... it is Lvl. 100. >=D

            [–]Sandbox47 0 points1 point ago

            To be fair, cats always look at you either like you're retarded or like you're acting dumber than usual. Pokemon would be way cooler. =/

            [–]triffid_boy 1 point2 points ago

            We have a greater variety of more wonderful animals than the Pokemon universe does, I'm very much an atheist, but I find it disappointing when people love Pokemon more than our own amazing collection of animals.

            [–]MrAntiHero 0 points1 point ago

            Dogs are cool, cats as well are awesome. Who wouldn't want a dog who could shoot flamethrowers from it's mouth or a cat who could slice entire trees in half with one claw though?

            And the majority of stuff in our wilds just tries to maul us and eat us so... Yeah.

            [–]Hansarn 0 points1 point ago

            .. Eh. We don't have animals who can shoot beams of ice, or breathe fire.

            [–]Tabf2010 1 point2 points ago

            this should probably be posted in r/trees, but here's what this post made me think of: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150719591436885&set=a.10150126909401885.325544.311478426884&type=1

            Reddit: posting more and more shit I've seen on Facebook and Twitter 3 years ago at an alarmingly increasing rate since 2005.

            [–]digitalscale 1 point2 points ago

            um... it is real its called cock fighting, bear bating etc. but making animals fight for our amusement or profit is unethical aparently

            [–]Hansarn 0 points1 point ago

            Not the same. They fight to their deaths. They don't seem to enjoy it. It's actually legitimately cruel. Also, no flamethrower, solar beam or aurora beam.

            [–]rufus001 1 point2 points ago

            Fuck off Pokemon.

            [–]nativeofspace 1 point2 points ago

            There are roughly 9 million species on earth, is that not good enough for you? Or do you really want Charizards flying around and setting fire to your lawn every other week, just think of the shit that would be going through your garbage can. And what if real animals did evolve? Maybe you'd be sitting there trying to get your cat to do something cool so you can whore karma then BAM it evolves into a cougar and hyperbeams you in the balls.

            [–]That_Guy25363 1 point2 points ago

            Come on, dude. I've seen this like 3 times

            [–]Tulsakaleb 5 points6 points ago

            I think that the tears of the Pokemon that bring ash back to life is really just God just popping up and saying "Nigga, Ash ain't nevva gon die", and making a beautiful scene in which ash gets back up to defeat Mew Two. And is it not safe to assume that MewTwo is the Antichrist? I always pictured the Antichrist that way anyway... So anywho, mew just beats the shit out of MewTwo and gets on with his life and all. Couldn't life be more like that?

            [–]MegaZambam 1 point2 points ago

            At the ending MewTwo is a good guy leading all the clone pokemon away. I don't think the Anti-Christ will do that.

            [–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

            Didn't Pearl and Diamond introduce pokemon that literally created the world?

            [–]jahagafaga 3 points4 points ago

            If pokemon was real I'm sure they would use humans for their entertainment.

            [–]h0witzer 8 points9 points ago

            MewTwo did that once.

            [–]TheMemeGirl 5 points6 points ago

            I don't think I want MewTwo's to be real.

            [–]nomnomgardettos 12 points13 points ago

            There's only one and his name is Mewtwo dammit, not MewTwo.

            [–]brainfart98 4 points5 points ago

            He wouldn't be if we hadn't created him.

            [–]MegaZambam 3 points4 points ago

            Well clearly if MewTwo is real then Mew is out there to offset him. Besides, Ash made MewTwo a good guy. You know, after he turned into a rock and 7 year old me was balling like crazy in the movie theater.

            [–]Naberius0 1 point2 points ago

            I've been on for over a year, and /r/atheism was one of my first subreddits. I've never seen it before. Every time is a first for somebody.

            [–]athmi100 2 points3 points ago

            really? thats explains a lot actually. I keep wondering why all these reposts keep making the front page.

            [–]Naberius0 0 points1 point ago

            Things aggregate weirdly. Some days I won't see one post from /r/atheism in my feed, another I'll have a ton. It's strange.

            But think about it, if god made Pokemon real they'd be commonplace and we'd be saying this about something else.

            [–]singul4r1ty 0 points1 point ago

            Maybe, Pokemon were those animals God created as Adam's companions, but weren't good enough. I think the primary reason Adam didn't like Pokemon was probably that he couldn't reproduce with them.

            Pokemon was invented by some asian dude. The whole point of creating a domino effect Universe is so you don't have to make cool shit, the cool shit makes itself.

            [–]MarcusVWario 0 points1 point ago

            You couldn't repost something a little older? This was on the front page like 2-3 months ago.

            [–]recoil669 0 points1 point ago

            The unfortunate truth is that when humanity started learning how to use tools, we killed off pretty much everything that was a real threat to us on a macro scale. Whichis totallt, probably what happened to all the pokemanz

            God wouldn't make pokemon real because it proves evolution.

            [–]Joeygforce 0 points1 point ago

            No because individuals don't evolve generations of individuals do.

            [–]Zaxdrique 0 points1 point ago

            The joke there was that the misconception is that individuals evolve, and pokemon would prove that. With pokemon, people would stop saying "have you seen a monkey turns into human?"

            [–]Ive_made_a_mistake 0 points1 point ago

            Pokemon is real in a way. Cockfighting, dogfighting etc. it's seen as cruel but i always felt bad for the pokemon as well. Fuck Ash and his friends, if i had a pikachu i'd play fetch with him and let him live in my house instead of in a goddamn ball.

            [–]kamada 0 points1 point ago

            Seriously, this guy needs to set his priorities straight.

            [–]yibgib 0 points1 point ago

            No offense, but Pokemon are basically pets that people enslave in little fist sized balls and force to fight until one faints. For money. It is sort of like dog fighting except instead of biting they call upon these super powerful powers that shouldn't even exist. I mean seriously. How does a Pokemon change the weather. Or have a machine gun on its head that hoots water. Or use psychic powers. Or cause earthquakes.

            [–]JasonWeb54 1 point2 points ago

            ..cause it's fictional.

            [–]yibgib 5 points6 points ago

            the bible is also fictional. Yet billions of people believe it.

            [–]downvote4areason -2 points-1 points ago

            Since my username explains what I do, here's why I downvoted: 1. It's a repost, I've seen it SO many time on my other account. 2. Judging by the memebase footer at the bottom of the image, it was probably originally uploaded to reddit, stolen from reddit and then put onto memebase then stolen from memebase then uploaded to reddit, I could be wrong but, it's stolen either way.

            [–]GobbledyCrook -1 points0 points ago
