shit that actually happens in pokemon:
- a giant castle rises from the ground around the main government building. this is basically peta’s fault.
- you ride a dragon-god into space to fight a meteor alien. this is plan b. plan a was to send the meteor alien to another dimension.
- one guy tries to get rid of the oceans. one tries to get rid of dry land. What Happens Next Will Shock You.
- a dude jumps straight out of the water onto an evil pirate ship, lowers the gangplank, then swims off to let a teenager deal with it.
- there is a 1/3 chance that a runaway 11-year-old yakuza/mafia prince broke into a laboratory to steal an adorable plant creature.
- you can buy a useless fish for several thousand yen from a shady salesman. this is actually a very good investment.
- the devil, the god of death and the bringer of eternal nightmares all really really really like cake.
- the space cultists would have won if dragon lucifer hadn’t showed up.
- god is a goat, and if you take it to the right place, it will make you a baby god.
- the most powerful trainer in the world (a 14-year-old with a pet rat) went up a frozen mountain for no apparent reason. he only comes down after you beat up his rat. this is absurdly difficult.
- the effective ruler of the unova region is a magical catgirl space princess with a bunch of pet dragons.
- there’s a nine foot tall guy wandering around. his height is the least interesting thing about him. and his best friend is a flower fairy.

- a 10 year old destroys the yakuza (and then another 10 year old destroys its remnants a few years later)
- there’s multiple professors who study subjects they have no fucking clue about. they’re still considered experts for some reason.
- bikes cost a gajillion dollars but you actually WERE the 1 millionth customer and get one for free anyways.
- a woc orphan gets a suit that basically makes her a super hero. This is never followed up ojn
- a random guy with a bad accent in a brown trenchcoat is the sole police officer seen in the series. no i mean literally, there ARE NO OTHER POLICE its just him, he keeps showing up. All the others you might think were police are just security guards.
- same police officer fights a pokemon with his fists at one point
- in a previous game a dragon hits a person with a laser and this is a good thing
- Psychic powers are totally real and common as dirt
- ghosts are real too but they’re mostly goobers
- fossils are resurrected ala jurassic park all the time
- people can read dreams
- teleportation and matter to energy conversion is so common place it’s used for minor conveniences
- an ancient civilization 10000 years old used braille as their alphabet

There is now another police officer. He lives next to a town overrun by a gang, with his fifteen cats.
