Which of these is not a real Pokemon:

1) a ring of keys
2) a pile of garbage
3) a snowflake
4) a sandcastle

Answer: all of them are Pokemon, of course

What is Pokemon??
https://carm.org/what-is-pokemon

CARM posted:

Is Pokemon dangerous?  Potentially, yes it is.  It conditions the child who plays the game into accepting occult and evolutionary principles.  Haunter can hypnotize, eat a person's dreams, and drain their energy.  Abra reads minds.  Kadabra emits negative energy that harms others.  Gastly induces sleep. Gengar laughs at peoples' fright.  Nidoran uses poison.  The Psychic type of Pokemon is among the strongest in the game.  Charmander, Haunter, Ivysaur, Kadabra, and many more evolve.  The children are taught to use these creatures to do their will by invoking colored energy cards, fights, and commands. Much of it is reminiscent of the occult and eastern mysticism

Update 7/16/2016: The original CARM article on Pokémon was written in 2007. Recently, Pokémon has experienced a resurgence. In fact, it is now the number one viewed article on CARM. My daughter who, I just found out, plays Pokemon Go, told me it's fun and that there are no occultic overtones associated with it. So, downloaded the mobile phone app version of Pokémon and my daughter and I played it for 1/2 hour. So far, nothing occultic has surfaced in the new version. I'm going to continue my research.

no one is safe!!!! :gonk:

according to google, that would mean the equivalent pokemon is a "shellos" or it's evolution, "gastrodon"

I just remembered that there is a part in the game where you have to trap a Gengar. Despite it being a silly 3DS game with a talking Pikachu it was pretty drat creepy. I wasn't even aware that Gengar is really huge, but finding him him and his creepy rape smile legit freaked me out.

Yeah that would be better than what they went with. It's not that I hate Ryan Reynolds or anything, it's just that his voice REALLY doesn't work coming out of a fuzzy lil critter. Danny Diveto would've worked perfectly but maybe he turned the down :shrug:

Gonna be some innocent fun. ...and I know it's dumb, but come on: the concept of interrogating someone that will not talk is fundamentally funny.

Nerd question is this, though: what pokey has the potential power to shift the landscape like in the trailer? Could be a psychic attack, perhaps.

Literally any of the legendaries. But that's if and only if this movie stays consistent with any of the other shows/games.

They had trilobite and horseshoe crab Pokemon in the first games and they still don't have a dolphin

This may be a surprise but these video games are made by huge goddamn nerds

As I said, DeVito and Deluise would be too old and grizzled for the role. Detective Pikachu is just a wannabee great detective. He's too young for the job and really just wants to talk about great coffee.
Oh and poo poo candy.
