You didn't go nuts this time! You didn't even get a full page done! Are you all right, guys...? :paranoid:
Oh yeah, serious questions! Now I can come up with weird theories again!
1) Do you think of the regions described in canon (Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Orre, etc.) as the continents of a Pokémon world entirely separate (in a different solar system, galaxy, or even universe or dimension) from our Earth? Or do you think that they make up a small section of some alternate version of our planet, like a chain of islands where evolution produced strange and unique creatures Galapagos-style? Basically, how do you think our reality and its geography relates to the Pokémon reality?
I think the Japanese just don't tell us everything. Satoshi Taijiri can't just have made up the whole thing. The first region was named Kanto by accident - they remembered to change the names of cities but forgot to rename the region. This was later corrected, so Kansai is Johto, Kyushu is Hoenn and Hokkaido is Sinnoh. Why, I ask you, did they make regions so similar to the ones actually excisting in Japan? Also, why are there so many demons and other unearthly creatures in Japanese folklore that resemble Pokémon?
This is because there actually are Pokémon in Japan.
The fact you don't see them in the wild nor hear about trainer or competitions is because Pokémon and Pokéballs are extremely expensive. Because people of the past eras were afraid of Pokémon, they were almost extinct by the time Pokéballs were invented. That is why they are so insanely expensive. To prevent theft, everyone who owns Pokémon keep the fact secret. This would include Japanese millionaires, high government officials, the princes and princesses of Japan and many other filthy rich people. They have their secret contests and tournaments. Pokémon rangers catch wild Pokémon for secret Pokémon shops.
This is the reality of Pokémon.
Satoshi Taijiri just modified the idea so that it's impossible to tell Pokémon actually excist in Japan. But I know... because I have my army of Sentret.
I bought them from e-Bay.
Of course, I am also a member of the "separate universe"-club (that's because they had cookies). That nice little conspiracy just popped into my mind. I just can't resist conspiracies, except if they are about 9/11 or man on the Moon (I'm completely fed up with those). I'm sorry for annoying you with this kind of stuff again :laugh: I just can't help it!
On another note, I just got a serious urge to draw the physical appearance of our lounge. The only problem is I'm not completely sure how I see this place. I know there would be huge, comfy sofas and a carpet covering the whole floor... Also, I think this place might be situated in some basement. There'd be a massive bulletin board with tons of tiny notes, some of which are serious and appropriate and then some "BEWARE MY ARMY" and "CALL ME IF YOU WANT HOT COMPANY" and "PLZ RED MY FIC OR ILL TAKE OVER THIS PALCE AND MAKE U MY LSAVES".
And in the middle of the room, there'd be a table with cookies that pop out of thin air.
If you tell me what your opinions are, I might even draw this. I really feel like doing so.
