    "Mr. mime mr. mime mr. mime,” Mr. Mime said with tears in his eyes. “Mr. mime. Mr. mime mr. mime mr. mime.”

    This is so sad

      Unfortunately Pokéunions haven’t taken off, this never would’ve happened if the ‘mons had representation.

      Pokémon is in a weird spot in my eyes.

      They have like 1000 Pokémon that I do not care about at all.

      But some people feel that way about a different set of 1000.

      They have too many Pokémon and I think there are some that we can all agree are just garbage. Looking at you, garbador.

      I love the original 151 as it’s what I grew up with, but I honestly think they should consider doing a hard reset and relaunching the series with significant changes to mechanics and wipe the slate.

    I’m sure with some re-training they’ll be able to acquire new skills in emerging markets that’ll offer a competitive salary and opportunities for advancement.

    I always thought the makers of Pokemon was a company called…. Pokemon. Like how Nintendo makes nintendo products. So… TIL!

      I mean, you’re fairly close. “The Pokémon Company” publishes most pokémon stuff in Japan (though the mainline games are developed by GameFreak and are distributed worldwide by Nintendo).

    Well, if they’re laying off 300 pokemon, I hope that doesn’t hurt our changes of having a Let’s Go Jynx and Let’s Go Porygon game release in the next decade.
