Arceus is the real God Pokemon.

Rayquaza is just protector of the earth, living in the Ozone

It fights alien Pokemon Deoxys and calms down Kyogre (creator and protector of the sea) and Groudon (protector and creator of the Land) when they got to fight each other (mainly because of humans)

🤓

One could say that Rayquaza is the Avenger Pokemon 🤭

[–] s@piefed.world 32 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Arceus is a capital G god. Any “one-of-a-kind” Pokémon representing an in-universe element or force could pass as a lowercase g god.

[–] Petter1@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 week ago

Yess, thank you! I corrected it in my comment! 🫶🏻🤘🏻

[–] Natanael@infosec.pub 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Mew and Ditto are both demigods then

[–] mitch@piefed.mitch.science 2 points 1 week ago

in that case, mewtwo is basically just a ripoff of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein.” what other public domain classics did Pokémon manage to repackage and resell to us?!

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Rayquaza is the Kirby of Pokemon

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 4 points 1 week ago

Does Rayquaza have the slap of death of Kirbo?

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

They're all deities, Arceus is just on a higher level

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 week ago (4 children)

One of them is a lawnmower.

[–] mitch@piefed.mitch.science 14 points 1 week ago

Hank, suddenly intrigued: "Wait, there's a 'grass type' Pokemon?"

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't mind the lawnmower cause it's a poltergeist possessing various electronics. That's a pretty cool concept, even though I don't care for the designs themselves.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

wait, could that poltergeist possess.. a propane grill?

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wait... Could it possess a propane accessory as well?

“Sort of” because it isn’t a lawnmower, it’s possessing a lawnmower.

“But yeah” because that’s splitting hairs. 🤣

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

We have pokemon for a keyring, stonehenge, soccer players, and garbage!

Bobby: "Dad, everybody knows they can't catch Rayquazza... it entices ."

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe it's just nostalgia (even though I was already playing videogames when Pokémon R/B came out on GB), but 3rd generation Pokémon was really the best one. Creative and fun without being too wacky. Also, Gardevoir. 🤷😅

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Also, Gardevoir. 🤷😅

Meanwhile, Bobby's outside playing in the tall grass pretending to be a Rattata.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 10 points 1 week ago

I can absolutely see Bobby as the comfy shorts kid.

POV: you are the first Zubat that a player using gameshark sees

"It's pronounced Arcanine, dad."

Hank: “Bobby, when I was little, we had 151 Pokémon, and that was plenty! We didn’t even have confirmation that Mew existed until maybe a decade later, and we were all so happy that we threw a party! Remember, Boomhauer?”

Boomhauer: “Well I tell ya what man igottagetyaonthepokemonromhacksbecausebackthentheydidntknowgaddumnallaboutjapaneseso (chuckling) theyjustchangedthejapanesecharacterstoenglishones man andnobodycaredtheydjustsitthereonno$gbandmakeuppokemonnameslike ‘turt’ or ‘hors’ andwe’dalljustlikestumblethroughthebarelytranslatedgames tryingtofigureoutwhattodoman it was a joy to be included”

Hank: “Yeah.”

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That "new" Pokemon debuted 24 years ago

[–] mitch@piefed.mitch.science 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hank Hill recognizes 152 Pokémon total. The first 151, and then Stunfisk.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

STUNFISK BWAAAAA

Torkoal burns clean and hot and you taste the heat not the meat

[–] capuccino@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

you right, kids can afford catch new gods
