starspangledavenger[There's a steady quality to Steve's voice, though with enough stress that if you listen for it, you can hear that he's forcing this quality, to hide his discomfort. Every so often, there's the sound of an Espeon making pathetic little noises and a strong purring noise that follows each time, but otherwise there's very little noise for whatelse is happening around the man.]
I've been thinking about what it would be like to have Pokemon in my world, back where and when I came from. How it would change every day life, how it would change sports and movies, how it would change the function of machines, how it would change war. I'm finding that I don't think it would have changed as much as people would suppose. Maybe the future, but my time would have been similar in the turn of events.
It's made me wonder if anyone else has thought about such things. So, I pose the question to all of you, how do you feel having Pokemon in your world and time would, or would have, changed things?
((OOC: If his peeps(or other people in Goldenrod) want to come action at him, feel free. He's found a nice place outside, alone but for Pokemon, just drawing and seeming withdrawn))

We would have had a pet though, that's for sure.

Date: 2013-10-19 08:39 am (UTC)Pokémon would have been very popular though, for both the civilians and the military. [But he wonders-- if Pokémon had been present in his world, would that have made the bioweapons facilities pointless? Or would the Pokémon have been turned into bioweapons?]
I also wonder if Pulsian and Cocoon Pokémon would have been different from each other.

Date: 2013-10-19 08:53 am (UTC)I would say there would be. There are animals in my world that the rich or people of certain areas were much more likely to have. I would think that anywhere that people divide themselves from other people, there would be a similar divide in creatures like Pokemon, since they seem almost as individual as humans.

Date: 2013-10-19 09:05 am (UTC)And the differences between those places and Academia.
[Because heck, five hundred years.]
I would have definitely had pets though. That much I'm sure of. Maybe a Taillow or Starly, but a Mareep would have been a constant presence around me.

Date: 2013-10-19 09:12 am (UTC)I'm not surprised to hear about the Mareep. No dark types though?

Date: 2013-10-19 09:50 am (UTC)You usually have a dark type near you at most times, figured you favored the type. [That and he knows some about that ghost phobia lol]

Date: 2013-10-19 11:32 am (UTC)Well, I do like dark types, but not as much as steels or electrics.
But I don't have a dark type on me all the time. Just only when I know there's a ghost around, or someone with a ghost Pokémon. [Like, say, Tony. And sometimes Steve if he has the Lampent in the party.]

Date: 2013-10-24 07:08 am (UTC)My first encounter with a ghost Pokémon had been out at night, on Route 31. It was just a Gastly but it managed to paralyze Lightning. [And to a fourteen-year-old boy who'd hardly ever seen ghosts up close, that had been downright frightening.] She caught the Gastly. It's a Haunter now.
My first Halloween in Johto, my soul had been stolen by a ghost Pokémon as well. It had been restored of course, otherwise I wouldn't have woken up, but I still remember some parts of it.
That dark energy I told you about from Valhalla looks much like the mist Gastlies trail behind them.
Last year during Halloween again, Yamask all over the two regions began possessing people. I managed to avoid it, but I still saw people get used by them in some way.
It's a largely simplified narration, but it spans years.

Date: 2013-10-24 07:33 am (UTC)I have a Cubchoo, but I can keep him away from you whenever you're around. It's the least I can do for you, when you kept your Lampent away even while not knowing that I don't like ghosts.
