>>18406576I know there isn't, but I've seen plenty of people take the game way too literally. It's the very reason this place is like some giant idiots' club. They even think some slogan is an irrefutable mandate. (even though I could argue that the JP version of that same phrase doesn't mean that at all) I don't mean anything I say to be directed to you specifically, it's just the way that most of the people here think. That's what I was getting at, though. By their own logic, if you're supposed to be a child (or acting like one, which makes no difference to me), then this board in it's entirety violates global rule 2 since it's inherently for kids. The other boards won't put up with us either? Like I said, against the rules anyway. This place should be /mon/ and be nuked and everyone in it be banned.
I also don't believe pokemon should be just for kids, but I also believe that means that interpretations that are not kiddy are also valid. If I want to defy any canon, I can. I can have whatever opinion I want. I know it's not official, but I pretty much don't care. True, that means they can have their interpretation, too, but their interpretation creates a reasoning that should be their own undoing.
