Arceus is the real God Pokemon.

Rayquaza is just protector of the earth, living in the Ozone

It fights alien Pokemon Deoxys and calms down Kyogre (creator and protector of the sea) and Groudon (protector and creator of the Land) when they got to fight each other (mainly because of humans)

🤓

One could say that Rayquaza is the Avenger Pokemon 🤭

[–] s@piefed.world 32 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Arceus is a capital G god. Any “one-of-a-kind” Pokémon representing an in-universe element or force could pass as a lowercase g god.

[–] Petter1@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 10 months ago

Yess, thank you! I corrected it in my comment! 🫶🏻🤘🏻

[–] Natanael@infosec.pub 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Mew and Ditto are both demigods then

[–] mitch@piefed.mitch.science 2 points 10 months ago

in that case, mewtwo is basically just a ripoff of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein.” what other public domain classics did Pokémon manage to repackage and resell to us?!

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 25 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Rayquaza is the Kirby of Pokemon

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 5 points 10 months ago

Does Rayquaza have the slap of death of Kirbo?

Bobby: "Dad, everybody knows they can't catch Rayquazza... it entices ."

One of them is a lawnmower.

[–] mitch@piefed.mitch.science 14 points 10 months ago

Hank, suddenly intrigued: "Wait, there's a 'grass type' Pokemon?"

“Sort of” because it isn’t a lawnmower, it’s possessing a lawnmower.

“But yeah” because that’s splitting hairs. 🤣

We have pokemon for a keyring, stonehenge, soccer players, and garbage!

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Meanwhile, Bobby's outside playing in the tall grass pretending to be a Rattata.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 9 points 10 months ago

I can absolutely see Bobby as the comfy shorts kid.

POV: you are the first Zubat that a player using gameshark sees

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Maybe it's just nostalgia (even though I was already playing videogames when Pokémon R/B came out on GB), but 3rd generation Pokémon was really the best one. Creative and fun without being too wacky. Also, Gardevoir. 🤷😅

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Also, Gardevoir. 🤷😅

That "new" Pokemon debuted 24 years ago

[–] mitch@piefed.mitch.science 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hank Hill recognizes 152 Pokémon total. The first 151, and then Stunfisk.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

STUNFISK BWAAAAA

Torkoal burns clean and hot and you taste the heat not the meat

[–] capuccino@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

you right, kids can afford catch new gods

[–] FreeAZ@sopuli.xyz 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hank: “Bobby, when I was little, we had 151 Pokémon, and that was plenty! We didn’t even have confirmation that Mew existed until maybe a decade later, and we were all so happy that we threw a party! Remember, Boomhauer?”

Boomhauer: “Well I tell ya what man igottagetyaonthepokemonromhacksbecausebackthentheydidntknowgaddumnallaboutjapaneseso (chuckling) theyjustchangedthejapanesecharacterstoenglishones man andnobodycaredtheydjustsitthereonno$gbandmakeuppokemonnameslike ‘turt’ or ‘hors’ andwe’dalljustlikestumblethroughthebarelytranslatedgames tryingtofigureoutwhattodoman it was a joy to be included”
