Every day is a reminder of how much nicer the world would be if I actually liked Pokemon instead of finding them boring and kinda ugly.

Do you want Kaiju Kids rampaging through your city? Because Pokemen Pogs is how you get Kaiju Kids rampaging through your city.

These would be sidewalk-accessible manhole covers I’d hope?
Certainly wouldn’t want these efforts to
boost local tourism throughout its lesser-frequented locales.
to result in high risk selfies being taken in the middle of traffic.

" just debuted in Tokyo’s Serigaya Park, an off-the-beaten path destination in Matsuya."

It’s Machida, not Matsuya. It’s wrong in the original article. Casey Baseel got it right when she mentions the mayor. I don’t know how SoraNews let that slip.

Yep. I definitely do not recommend googling “pokemon futa”…

(unless you have lots of eyebleach just sitting around)

Pokémon glorifies the capture and enslavement of sentient creatures for the purposes of entertaining humans by putting their lives at risk in arena battles.
