It’s like a classic magical girl team. Bellossom the chipper happy-go-lucky leader and newbie, Roserade the Bifauxnen charmer, Lilligant the ditzy powerhouse, Florges the elegant lady, Lurantis the quirky nerd, and Tsareena the tsundere rival-turned-ally. I’d watch the hell out of that show.
gen 1 is wild for a lot of reasons but the one that always stands out to me is the fact that, even 20 years later, aerodactyl’s backstory is just jurassic park. aerodactyl is not based on ancient mythology or anything. aerodactyl is explicitly based off a book that was later adapted into an american blockbuster movie about clone dinosaurs, and this movie only came out like 3 years before pokemon. the closest to anything like that we’ve got since then is mimikyu who is directly inspired by pikachu being a pop culture phenomenon but. like imagine if gen 6 had introduced a snowpiercer pokemon that was a train powered by racism. shit
