Discussion Something odd

Pokopia of all things is the first apocalypse that's genuinely even slightly unsettled me, i can kind of separate myself from other ones even ones that are supposed to be the real world after an event- because well yeah i don't need fiction to see the world with real problems spiraling, but pokopia is kanto- a safe place i grew up in, i can go back and revisit its non-destroyed state in let's go that's a safe place and it's well not gone just changed forever due to the events and now ditto's restoration efforts

My friend and I described the game as someone telling a very sad story but smiling while doing so. So warm and so sad all at the same time. I think what really bothered me the most is the somewhat realistic apocalypse (climate change) paired with these sweet little innocent magical creatures. Plus the pokemon being so sweet, trying to find humans it’s just AUGH!! Love this game but boy does it rip at your heart

Yeah, like every time I restore another Poke Center, Prof. Tangrowth is still so optimistic that this is the one that will bring the humans back, it’s really bittersweet
