Isn't Going Into Someone's House in the Pokemon Games a Little......Weird?

[+Poochyena+]

Really.
In real life, I couldn't just waltz into someones house that I don't even know and NOT get kicked out.
I find it very awkward. Don't you?

While we're at it...

It's weird that a ten year old child is allowed out on his/her own in the first place.
AND
It's weird that said ten year old child doesn't have to eat, sleep or use the bathroom at any point.

The world of Pokemon is a very weird place...

There's a very easy explanation to this. It's a game.

If you had to eat, sleep and poop in real time in the games, they just wouldn't be as interesting to play.

Scratch that by the way. They sure would be interesting... but the patience needed for it, oh the patience.

Now that you mention it,it does seem a little awkward. But that's the virtual-ness of the Poke'mon World. :D

Well I think pokemon games and the anime takes place in a time where everyone is pretty friendly to each other kind of like the whole world is just a huge friendly community. I still think it would be nice to knock though.

I remember my sister's friend wouldn't play the game because she found that weird. o.O

I like the whole idea that these Pokemon regioins are friendly idealistic communities, where people don't need to lock their doors, and everybody is friendly to one another. Of course it is unrealistic, but it is a game. Games can be what the real world can't. That is why we play them!

Another thing, you're carrying pretend 'animals' around on your belt in tiny balls. Yet you find walking into houses without knocking the weird part? lol

 

[OokamiShipper]

Yeah, when I started out, I thought it was wierd too just barge itno some strangers house...xP I got used to it. xD

Team Rocket killed alot of pokemon, so isn't it dangerous to keep your frontdoor unlocked?

 

[BHwolfgang]

It'll only be dangerous if you lived in wild parts of the region?

I see no probablem with lettin' a ten-year old boy or girl to come in here then leave.

In the games, wasn't there houses without doors?! So, in a way, aren't these 'locked' houses?

 

[deliriouspurple]

Yes it's quite weird, you'll just barge in to that house without permission.:D

 

[thedestinedblade]

Weird? Nah. You're able to do that in just about any RPG.

 

[Ninja Tree]

I'd love to see the day where people could actually get a warm welcome after just walking in to their house.

 

[Haza]

Well, now on Platinum ur villa is not safe from wanderers either but yeah it is weird, and some let u sleep in their beds! Eew.

 

[Taemin]

I think it's interesting to walk into complete stranger's houses. 8D

Buuuut I will admit, if anyone tried doing that in real life, with no bad intentions.. just.. waltzing it, I'd still be a bit freaked out. I hardly ever think about it anymore when playing the games, though.

 

[Cid]

Well having a perspective in real life, this custom in Pokémon games IS weird.
(the thought of letting complete strangers go in your house, and most houses don't even have decent rooms or beds)

But as some people said above me, it IS a game. RPG's are almost always like that.
And it's again not that thought about in RPG's. You're not busy going into people's houses, you're busy training your Pokémon.
