This is Pokémon's new audience. No longer do Pokémon give two shits about nerds or true Pokémon fans, now they try to appeal more to Chad's and Taquishas who only "like" Pokémon because they had some vague nostalgia watching their older siblings play it when they were four, but had no problem bullying kids who openly enjoyed it in High School.
Was the psychological torture you inflicted worth it, Chad? Pokémon is cool now, you can play it on your phone and is being endorsed by Katy Pery and Post Malone. In fact, you're not cool if you're not involved with this 90's classic that recently made a comeback after years of absence. It's cool to like Pokémon, remember Ash? Remember Squirtle? Remember CHARIZARD! We even made a dimly lit, grimy Pokémon movie with no kid characters (but it's a family movie so we make poopie jokes) and DEADPOOL (from the big boy's capeshit movie). Pokémon is cool again everyone, so consume, consoom, CONSOOOOOOOM! POKÉMON! KANTOOOOOO! CHARIZARD! FUNKO! POST MALONE! PHONESHIT! POKÉMON GO TO THE POLLS! KAAAAANNNNNTOOOOOOOOOOOO!
WE WILL NEVER GET ANOTHER GOOD POKÉMON GAME AGAIN! SWORD AND SHIELD ARE THE FASTEST SELLING POKÉMON GAMES EVER! IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE IT'S FOR KIDS BUT IT'S ALSO COOL WITH ADULTS WHO REMEMBER KANTOOOOOOOOOO! CHARIZAAAAAAAAARD! DEADPOOOOOOOOL! PHOOOOOOOOONES! FUCK AMERICA! FUCK THIS GAY EARTH AND FUCK POKÉMON! OH GOD I'M GOING TO
CONSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
