Original comic, since the posted copy is infested with jpeg

Also, it was extremely easy to find the original one on their site. Would be nice if people who shared this stuff on Lemmy spent just a little time to get a higher quality copy.

I don’t see a monetary incentive for this, my bet is they sell the experienced ones as a perverted snack for the ultra rich who enjoy eating the children’s pets.

They'd have to store one for each level and possible ability combinations.

I don't know enough about Pokémon to even try and guesstimate that number.

You realise that this game is fiction, right?

It's even more than that since you can improve attacks with more AP, two Pokémon of the same level can also have wildly different stats depending on different factors, there are also genders, passive abilities, etc.

Also what about legendary Pokémon? Are they having hundreds of different versions of literal gods in each of those?

nothing gets past the council of pedants!

Probably those are generically engineered blueprint Pokemon, which they can quickly adjust to lvl and settings

[–] Bongles@lemm.ee 8 points 17 hours ago

Could be, but once you start involving genetic engineering, you probably can also just heal the Pokémon.

Not to mention name?

...this implies they have a cardboard box full of Arceus, the Pokemon God

[–] Kernal64@sh.itjust.works 78 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

What's wrong with that? This is the same world where a 10 year old can force a legalized cockfight with exotic animals they've trained in order to capture said god themselves, at which point the god will do their bidding and fight other exotic animals on the kid's behalf. And all without parental supervision! This comic seems just as plausible as anything else that happens in this world.

That puts it fully into perspective. My partner and I like to discuss how messed up that world is, but we tend to focus on the darker side of cannibalism.

[–] Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 12 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

As opposed to the light-hearted, fun side of cannibalism?

What's a little nibble among friends.

[–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 86 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

So you're telling me to fill my pokedex, I just had to rob a pokecenter?

[–] sag@lemm.ee 44 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Team Rocket don't know this secret.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 31 points 21 hours ago

Team Rocket tried to hold up a PokeCenter in episode 2!

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 25 points 21 hours ago

Found Team Rocket

That's just what Katie Tiedrich's face looks like.

[–] fushuan@lemm.ee 27 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

This implies they have multiple legendary Pokemons and multiple magikarps in multiple masterballs because that's how I roll.

[–] technomad@slrpnk.net 6 points 20 hours ago

Blain's island missingno. glitch for the win. Gotta get Lapras too.

[–] lowleveldata@lemmy.world 19 points 21 hours ago

I always heal my pokemons twice to be sure
