>>32465021So your basic argument is that because it hasn't been officially confirmed, we shouldn't assume the population was part of the design. Okay. See my "strawman" from last post. All of also hasn't been confirmed. You can't say for sure that people in Hoenn were meant to be the humans we know. They might just be those robot described, who will endless stand in a single place and repeat the same thing to the same person.
I mean, not officially confirmed amirite?! :^)
And you agreeing or not doesn't mean shit. This is part left to imagination and common fucking sense. No one is expecting anyone to believe that there are 3 small villages, all with 2 houses each and about 20 people in total, and no shops or any source of food, cut off from the only town nearby by a forest, and the people live there just fine. That's being retarded. Far more ridiculous than basing the population all on Kyushu, as that at least makes sense. It's that way because it's a game.
But they haven't confirmed that the humans in Pokemon world need food, or life, so assuming they do is just ludicrous. We don't know if basic human functions were something the designers borrowed from our world. We can only confirm that they don't need basic human functions, so that MUST be the case. Fuck common sense.
