It's a constant "why do I even try to watch this show if I'm always gonna end up disappointed?" Situation
And let's not even talk about the constant mistreatment of afab queens...

We need to permanently retire "get that bag" and bring back the shame of selling out!! Sorry!!

I'm not going to spoil it of course, but do know that we should be getting some of my favorite pokemon (used by my favorite characters too) so my expectations are VERY high

It's like someone felt his popularity was decreasing, panicked and googled what other popular thing they could mix it with to make it stand out again

Now you might think: but mega starmie is clearly inspired by that SpongeBob meme of Patrick in high boots, isn't that the same? No, because unlike Lucario, mega starmie is not overly designed

Great choice, when I played it a few years ago (after like a decade of not interacting with the franchise) at a certain point it made me think "oh I really, really love digimon"
Hope you enjoy it ~

I don't like telling people how they should express themselves (hell trust me I'm the last person to say that) but it's so rare to see a short man in media that's not instantly either infantilized or be all about their height that I think you can excuse or understand my frustration
