tbh im kinda glad that a lot of the realistic pokemon in the detective pikachu trailer are high key teetering on the edge of uncanny valley because like.. these are fantasy creatures that sort of talk and shoot fucking electricity and vines and fire and psychic energy out their eyeballs, they SHOULD look weird and alien. psyduck is a pokemon defined by the fact that it is experiencing an unending headache that motherfucker better look like he has seen the rise and fall of civilization itself. mr mime is literally like three brain cells away from being straight up human the sight of one should make me uncomfortable.
basically what im saying is we have been spoon-fed woobified anime pokemon for too long. put the monster back in pocket monsters.
“My son,” he said, “this is your punishment. Come home glorious, or die forgotten!” He picked up Crota by the legs and threw him into the Vex gate network.
(Books of Sorrow, XL – An Emperor For All Outcomes)
what’s particularly great about that line, imo, is that oryx tells crota he’ll “die forgotten” if he fucks up, all hardass and shit. then crota actually dies (to six idiots no less) and oryx immediately finds out and just legs it to Sol as fast as he can to get his revenge, entirely ignoring his own ultimatum.
which is, like so many things hive, kinda sweet in a bad way
