It's not even that (though the anon you replied to is baiting), escapist works of fiction can have evil characters as long the work itself doesn't become a nihilist mess trying its best to be "mature".
All good characters all the time gets a bit saccharine.
yes kirby is a lighthearted franchise where you >make friends with waddle dees and other furry friends >eat cake >have naptimes >fight demon eyeballs that burst out blood >kill a person’s lover who had gone mad with power after staring into a demon mirror >kill a grieving father whose mind and soul was fused with a god wishing machine while you can hear echoes of him screaming in agony as you delete him from existence >battle against an evil god destroyer of worlds after a cultist sacrifices himself and his disciples to summon it >fight an evil eldritch blob alien that assimilates lifeforms into it like its chaos from sonic
>pokemon can’t be evil
where did this meme come from?
The anime.
>Trashanime created this meme
of fricking course
pokemon are only bad if you treat them bad
as a trainer, it's your responsibility that your pokemon are well-loved
i'm sure shrek doggo would be perfectly nice to you if you'd just succa his dicc
nanny mons w/ flower crowns
Please no. There's enough depressing stuff in the world as it is can't pokemon just be happy fun escapism
Pussies like you who only play games for “escapism” annoy me. You’re so weak-willed.

I bet human is related to the chain
Wasn't it that peach pokemon?
>Dude what if this lighthearted children's franchise had SEX and VIOLENCE!
Calling it now, someone is going to say damn in the next gen.

That's cringe. Cutesy thing but actually le dark and morbid is cringe.
too much of any one thing is cringe
you have to balance your media diet so the dark and edgy doesn't lose its zest
if you played the games you’d see it never goes into cringe territory
cope
I hope Guzma's allowed to say ass in the eventual Alola remakes.
you mean more dark types?
only if they're willing to bite me
we need more ontologically evil Pokémon
hey are not evil, they are clrealy forced to do so, and even their pokedex description tells you that
They had a jail for Pokemon in the new Detective Pikachu game so maybe they're slowly opening up to the idea.
Why does Munkidori have a Norwood 3 hairline
What I want is one of those psychics like Avery, Caitlin, or Sabrina as a main antagonist.
Kek, the idea tjat these frickers are complete buttholes is so cool. We really need more evil pokemon like the ruinous 4 and the loyal 3
>actually evil Pokémon
weren't they just brainwashed by dokutaro?
>POKEMON CAN'T BE THE HECKING EVIL!
Then explain this one
>To protect itself, it afflicts those around it with nightmares. However, it means no harm.
There isn't a single instance, in any kind of Pokemon media, where this was proven true.
Pokedex exists for a reason.
