Oh cool there are Waluigi outfit items you can buy (in game, with in game coins only, and they're like 200 max a pop, you have by this point at least 7k invaraiably) in Super Mario Odyssey!!...

*reads the descriptions of them*... oh come on Ninty that's just fuckin' mean :< don't disrespect Waluigi like this

@monorail I think I actually wanna re-watch it. hm.

@monorail Yes and I kinda liked it actually.

((yes i did just slip two meme references in there and i cannot and will not be stopped))

(the driver is a Raticate of course and he's the giant rat that makes all the rules)

imagining like 30 to 50 absolutely feral ratattas stealing a truck, driving up to the human they like while she's in trouble, leaping out of the pickup truck with sticks and whatnot and just going ham on the bad guys outta nowhere like some kind of biker gang of justice.

...except little rats.

@monorail @BatElite oh yeah like, this is kjinda why i liked the pokemon rangers games? But... even then the battle system was really, REALLY tiresome :| and there just... wasn't enough puzzling for my taste. it was just "YEAH LET'S DO A FIGHT NOW aNd hope you like drawing a lotta circles really quickly lol"

@monorail @BatElite oh I'm also thinking this would strip away like... 90% of the extraneous mechanics from this whole series, like, it would legit just be about befriending any pokemon you wanted and just... havin' a fun journey and not having to do any of the battling or anything if you didn't want.

@BatElite @monorail (side note I had an idea for a pokemon oc who never used pokeballs or artificial means of healing her pokemon, nor did pokemon fights and tournaments. She just made friends with/rescued/adopted pokemon who were lost/abandoned/abused/needed help and only if they wanted to come with her.

...she uh...

she also had what was affectionally called "The Rat Pack"... a literal truck-load of Ratatta who adored her and were rowdy as heck.

@BatElite @monorail also what if we did away with pokeballs altogether and had you interact with and BUILD AN ACTUAL RELATIONSHIP with the pokemon not just beat them up, toss a ball on them and WHOOPS now you own them for other fights.

like, what if the pokemon could actually be BEFRIENDED and their trust and loyalty EARNED

@BatElite @monorail what if like... you could bring a pokemon around with you, like in HG/SS or Yellow, BUT... it wouldn't just follow BEHIND you?

Like... depending on the pokemon, you'd either have it running circles around you if it was like a Yamper or something small and energetic, or following just beside you if a Lucario or Gardevoir or something, or above because it's a bird/flying type, or like, resting on your head/shoulder if it's tiny and smol.
