In the grand scheme of things, did GF make the right decision when guns were removed from the pokemon universe?

No, but the franchise is intended for toddlers now so who cares

Yeah. Guns just seem off in the setting. A lot of military stuff feels out of place for Pokemon.

It always was though, ESPECIALLY as it was being made with home market in mind and wasn't meant for exportation.

No one ever thought that Remoraid was based on a gun, it was just some fish evolving into a octopus. It was confirmed with the Spaceworld prototype but before then it was mostly a fan theory, they heavily reworked the original design in order to delete all the guns elements on its design, making him just another boring fish that no one wants to train because it has nothing special.

It lost it's grimy post-war Japan 90s aesthetic and made the Pokemon world an idealized setting.

remoraid's design is clearly evocative of a revolver, but subtle in a way that people with no imagination are unable to notice it without it being blatantly in your face obvious

>pick up gun and shoot someone, they're dead
>pick up pokeball, wait for pokemon to leave pokeball, yell at pokemon to use move, have pokemon use move, hope said pokemon is fast enough, hope said pokemon is strong enough to significantly hurt who you're attacking (given a random thug survived the strongest attack from the most powerful trainer in the region in one game, it's doubtful pokemon are even that strong compared to humans), they're dead
Pokemon are more varied overall than guns, but guns are more efficient at killing.

thing is, if you look at its stripes it's obviously a revolver, but the overall design is so fucking boring that most people don't even bother, i used to just quickly scan it's appearance and thought "oh, another fish"

They weren't even in anon. Nor RG or the Zukan suggested their existence.
They weren't removed.
Heck, there's literally the mention of a cannon in Genesect's entry so weapons do exist in some form.

Speak for yourself. Most of my friends and I noticed it when we were kids but weren't sure it was real. We thought it was like some tyot schoolyard rumor type of thing.

Guns make almost every fictional setting worse. They’re just no fun. Too lethal, too fast, too easy to use, too impersonal.

Wow, I actually agree with this. I never thought about it before, but there are very few times I've seen guns done well (in anime). And whenever they're added, they have to turn up the fantasy settings super high and make shit like "gunkatta" or magic bullets or something to make it work. Regular guns are just boring.

Made-up guns(gunkatta) and magical guns(magic bullets) aren't different than magical swords that return to you, or talk, or made up fantasy weapons, like Gut's or Cloud's giant swords. I do not see the difference.

Name one person Pikachu has ever killed or significantly injured with shocks.
>b-but Pikachu is le nice!
Pikachu has gone through mood swings, mind control, blind rage dozens of times and has never done shit. Its always treated as a gag people easily walk off in a few seconds.
Lance's Dragonite is literally the most powerful Pokemon in all of Johto and using its most powerful move it only knocked out some random guy. Pokemon in general killing people is extremely rare, the few instances of it happening are mostly ghost types allegedly dragging people to hell or legendaries
