Hey, don't dis the otter, that things fucking awesome.

[Acanthus117]

Nah, it looks like a retarded animal baby thing.


Well, so do most pokemon.

[cowofdoom78963]

Hey man the capitalization of names was symbolic! People just dont seem to understand anymore...

[Grakelin]

First time I played Pokemon Blue when I was about 8, I used lowercase letters for my name, and I got so pissed off at how out of convention I was that I reset my game halfway through just to fix it.

[Jackrabbit]

Symbolic of what? Man's tendency to exaggeration?

[Rashilul]

Nah, it looks like a retarded animal baby thing.


Well, so do most pokemon.

Dude. That's the point.

Plus it looks like it'll take its life any second.

[Acanthus117]

I sort of imagined that people in the Pokemon world shouted whenever they said stuff like that.

"Welcome to PALLET TOWN! I am PROFESSOR OAK!"

[Grakelin]

Bold font didn't exist on the Gameboy Colour, so they had to use capitalization.

[Jackrabbit]

I've got it! Every single person in a Pokemon game used to be a town crier!

[Acanthus117]

What about the children?

[Jackrabbit]

Apprentices.

[Acanthus117]

Hehe.

[Grakelin]

Children are allowed to be in charge of massive beasts capable of slaughtering large numbers of people all at once, but they can't be town criers?

[cowofdoom78963]

Symbolic of what? Man's tendency to exaggeration?

It was like it was telling you that it was real. Like that tree over there? It's just a tree. It's not part of the game. But that TREE over there... You can use cut on it to chop it down. Things not in caps represent things we cannot prove.

It really made me think about things... about life.

[Jackrabbit]

Yeah, life would be so much easier if people screamed at you the names of important things.

And the funny thing is, I'm serious.
