>>48509043>following the rules set in place over 25 years ago is autisticYou complained about a) Gym Leaders having a specific number of Pokemon at each badge level and b) NPCs using starters, neither of which are rules that Game Freak has ever held hard and fast to.

>>48509077Barbaracle provides both figurative and literal flavor, since Siebold is a French chef and the French are known to cook and serve goose barnacles with garlic and butter.
