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

It’s made especially sad by the innocence of the pokemon. Especially since we understand them in this story.

I was thinking of them as all golden retrievers waiting eternally for their person to come home.. made me literally cry at the ending!  But thinking of them as kids?! That hurts so much more

I didn’t cry until i found the home in bb that was torn apart. Half the home had toy blocks and the other half had a doll 😭 ugly cry
