    "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

      I miss those simpler times. Just the whisper of the possibility of 151 was so powerful. Nowadays every five minutes they’re finding random inanimate objects, drawing faces on them, and adding them to the list.

          In fairness they aren’t 26 separate pokemon, Unown can just be in one of the 26 shapes.

        I feel the same way. There’s just too many and there’s too much work to swap around pokemon for counters and strengths/weaknesses etc. I liked the old days where you were able to select like six or so pokemon to be your buddies and rock through the entire adventure together.

        The ever expanding list of Pokemans is going to be the millennial boomer humor, isn’t it?

          I mean, one of the legendaries is basically a starter that you ride like a motorcycle. It’s too easy to make fun of.

        The key ring and the trash bag were the final straw for me

    Dear Game Freak,

    There are too many Pokemon. Please eliminate 800. I am not a crackpot.

    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.

    Just roll back to 2nd gen. Keep a few of the cute ones and you’re good.

      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.
