>Catch a common Pokémon (a Rattata, for example) and train it in that same area against others of its kind. Chances are, you're PITTING YOUR POKEMON AGAINST ITS FAMILY AS THEY TRY TO STOP YOU FROM CATCHING THEIR LOVED ONE!!!!
>According to the Pokédex, Yamask's gold mask is its face from its time as a human before turning into a mummy. Cofagrigus is a coffin ghost that swallows humans whole and turns them into mummies. Now you get to know how they reproduce....
>And remember, you can breed them.
>With other species of Pokemon. G-rated necrozoophillia anyone?!
>Why does Giratina's "Origin Form" looks like a cross between a snake and a spider? Because arachnophobia and ophidiophobia (a fear of spiders and snakes, respectably) are the two most common phobias among animals. Same can be said about Giratina's "Altered Form," which looks like both a bat (chiroptophobia) and a centipede (myriopodophobia).
>The first movie struck this troper as poignant, artistically and emotionally, when I was thirteen but I couldn't understand now. Even then it seemed like Mewtwo's use of Pokémon was commenting on something. Many years later, after many viewings of the movie, I finally realized that Mewtwo was consciously deconstructing competitive Pokémon training while also subconsciously seeking to become human, all because of his feelings of a lack of power in his life. I also connected my identification with this struggle to my own issues, but that goes somewhere else. Extending that, the first three movies were all deconstructions of the entire premise of Pokémon from different viewpoints. The first deconstructed Pokémon as battlers. The second deconstructed Pokémon as collectibles. And the third deconstructed Pokémon as companions and enablers, meaning not even Ash's perspective was safe from deconstruction.
