Pokémon development history fascinates me like. Pokemon red and green were genuinely passion projects based off of very personal themes and which were kinda just assumed to end up as late game boy shelf filler but now they’re The biggest media franchise straight up.

and honestly knowing that makes stuff like the insistence on version differences and mythical pokemon make more sense. i mean yeah it’s capitalism obviously. they are like that simply to steal cash from you. but also like, the trading mechanic between red and green and the rumours of mew literally turned pokemon into a phenomenon and prevented it from being a forgotten rpg on a dead system. i’d be reluctant to remove what made my game go from an idea barely able to be pitched to the biggest sensation ever. like pokemon very nearly did not get made and no one expected it to be anything but another random game boy title no one would remember. and it seemed that way until those things meant people kept buying the games well after they came out!

like genuinely if you’re interested in pokemon or like. video games at all. look up the development of the first and second generation of pokemon bc we know an absurd amount about them and have a ridiculous amount of beta assets- we have an entire, mostly complete, early version of gold and silver that you can play. it’s an old demo so you can only play a little of it but you can literally play an incomplete build of gold and silver that just. is vastly different to the game we got. it’s insane. it’s fascinating seeing what changed.

This lack of notes is probably a big part of why TikTok seems to think they invented the meme.

In the Pokémon universe there are people who refuse to believe Clefairy is a fairy type. You can show them all the evidence in the world and all the research papers proving it was incorrectly labeled a normal type prior to the discovery of the fairy type, but they won’t believe you. They will send out their clefairy into an incoming poison type move, watch it deal double damage, and still say it’s not super effective because when they were in pokéschool they learned that Clefairy is a normal type pokemon

but chansey is not fairy for some reason
