>>27131734>why would you make a pokemon based on [anything]Do you not understand the premise of Pokemon?
Pokemon is a game where you play as a child who adventures through the world where he/she encounters people and ideas and Pokemon. To complete the adventure the player must adventure into the world in real life and encounter real people to trade and learn about the Pokemon thanks to other people's insights.
There should eventually be a Pokemon to represent every single thing a person might encounter in their lives.
Why wouldn't a mascot be represented?
Even without the premise, why is a pile of sludge or a tree with human face fruits more applicable than a mascot? A mascot is at least something with a real life analogue.
>>27131769>pointing out what it is obviously based on is a memeWhy do you think a the term for a unit of culture somehow discredits posts? And why are you so stupid? Summer and Pokemon Go at the same time managed to make this shithole even worse than before.
>>27131839It's not, it's based off of a mascot suit. Like, you know, mascots... Americans have them in school, I hear. England has them at football games. Disney has them everywhere. Japan has them for everything.
