>>59043205Absolutely not.
I was 10 during pokemania when it came out.
Everyone thought it was dumb and made no sense. not only do we make Pokemon fight all the time, but they themselves fight in the wild all the time.
The song was stupid, trying to get everyone to stop fighting was stupid
Pikachu getting slapped the fuck about was stupid.
We were promised war. And got the most pussy shit “don’t fight fighting is bad” message in a series where everyone fights with Pokemon.
Fuck, the fact that it was left purely physical so no one is shitting out flamethrowers or lighting out their ass actually makes Mewtwo’s fight more safe and more honorable than actual league matches.
An unbelievable amount of cheese went into that scene
