"Mr. mime mr. mime mr. mime,” Mr. Mime said with tears in his eyes. “Mr. mime. Mr. mime mr. mime mr. mime.”
This is so sad

On the plus side, Mr. Mime will be able to spend more time with Ash's mom.
Professor Oak in shambles
I used to be able to name them all back when there was only 150 of the lil fuckers.
I miss those simpler times. Just the whisper of the possibility of 151 was so powerful. Nowadays every five minutes they're finding random inanimate objects, drawing faces on them, and adding them to the list.
I kinda stopped caring pretty early on when they introduced 26 of 'em that were literally just letters.
In fairness they aren't 26 separate pokemon, Unown can just be in one of the 26 shapes.
The ever expanding list of Pokemans is going to be the millennial boomer humor, isn't it?
I mean, one of the legendaries is basically a starter that you ride like a motorcycle. It's too easy to make fun of.
Don't forget the pinnacle of Pokemon: a sentient pair of keys
Also literally a sword
I feel the same way. There's just too many and there's too much work to swap around pokemon for counters and strengths/weaknesses etc. I liked the old days where you were able to select like six or so pokemon to be your buddies and rock through the entire adventure together.
The key ring and the trash bag were the final straw for me
The Pokemon rap helped make it easier though.
Where's the current PokeRap with all checks notes 1,025 Pokemon?
It probably lasts 10 hours.
You're doing Mew dirty...
Dear Game Freak,
There are too many Pokemon. Please eliminate 800. I am not a crackpot.
You joke, but this is exactly what they did with pokemon sword and shield
Unfortunately Pokéunions haven’t taken off, this never would’ve happened if the ‘mons had representation.
Pokémon is in a weird spot in my eyes.
They have like 1000 Pokémon that I do not care about at all.
But some people feel that way about a different set of 1000.
They have too many Pokémon and I think there are some that we can all agree are just garbage. Looking at you, garbador.
I love the original 151 as it’s what I grew up with, but I honestly think they should consider doing a hard reset and relaunching the series with significant changes to mechanics and wipe the slate.
Garbador has fans. Check Bogleech and the comments on his article for Trubbish and Garbador
Burmy, the original rubbish Pokémon.
Every pokemon is someone's favorite. Even the one that's literal garbage.
I'm sure with some re-training they'll be able to acquire new skills in emerging markets that'll offer a competitive salary and opportunities for advancement.
Palworld may have some openings
Just roll back to 2nd gen. Keep a few of the cute ones and you're good.
3rd gen. Nobody is doing Mudkip dirty like that!
3rd gen + new eeveelutions. That's it.
just gen 5 /s
Rowlett fans in shambles.
It's me. I'm Rowlett fans.
Rowlett's cute. They can stay
mr mime no!
I always thought the makers of Pokemon was a company called…. Pokemon. Like how Nintendo makes nintendo products. So… TIL!
I mean, you're fairly close. "The Pokémon Company" publishes most pokémon stuff in Japan (though the mainline games are developed by GameFreak and are distributed worldwide by Nintendo).
What's Senior Mimic doing in the Palworld zone!
Aww, poor little things. :(
Well, if they're laying off 300 pokemon, I hope that doesn't hurt our changes of having a Let's Go Jynx and Let's Go Porygon game release in the next decade.
