>>22040408Yeah, but Ash has REAL Pokemon, though. If I still had a Magikarp heading into a new adventure or a new league, I'll still be dragging my team unless the league has something like a "registration cooldown" with derby horses (Which I call dope on, anyway) and synergizing them.
Let's say I qualified for the Indigo League in that Verse with a team of...
Starting Battlers (6): Ivysaur, Electabuzz, Graveler, Pidgeot, Nidoking, Starmie
Benchers (8): Magikarp, Oddish, Magmar, Vulpix, Poliwhirl, Hitmonlee, Scyther, Charmander
You don't move on with an incomplete project. You manage it - I'd probably bring my whole team with me an add to it while bringing my new team up to speed. Games are just data - RL Pokemon battling, like in the anime, is a different ball game.
That argument of yours is the same as comparing in-universe character actions in say, Hurt Locker, with Call of Duty as a game.
