    I used to wish I lived in a world like Pokemon, with endless interesting creatures with crazy abilities

    Then, I realized that Earth is that world, except we’ve just killed off most of the animal life. Even the fireflies… They used to be everywhere in summer, I recently met kids who had never seen one. I found two in the middle of the woods during summer - literally surrounded by miles of forest

    We live on a dying paradise, and it’s depressing

      The coolest thing about Pokemon, to me, was how all those creatures are also completely safe and easy to take care of as pets, and very easily domesticated by a 10 year old.

      Like, fuck earth. I want a pet bear that fights for me.
