the absolute funniest thing in madoka magica to me is that all of the girls have magical weapons that they summon from their soul gems, right? so madoka has her bow, sayaka has a sword, mami has musket rifles, and kyouko has a chain spear thing.
but homura doesn’t have a “weapon” persay, she has a shield, so she just fucking. steals military grade weaponry from the yakuza and cooks her own pipe bombs. you see her obtain these things on camera. this anime magical girl is running around with realistic military weapons and she’s the ONLY character to do so and that’s fucking hysterical to me
What makes this better is that Mami’s main weapon isn’t the rifles, it’s her ribbons. She had to study how rifles work to learn how to conjure them out of ribbons, which meant she studied rifles for countless hours.
The machinery doesn’t just switch the Pokémon, it also manages the complicated anti-theft devices and registration involved with the Pokéballs and Pokémon’s ID number. That way, someone can’t trade a Pokémon then claim it was stolen (which happened a LOT in the mid-70′s).
As for people’s view on trading, it’s a bit like crate training, vegetarianism, or breeding instead of adopting. Both sides have strong arguments for and against it. As you mentioned, it can be traumatic for a Pokémon to be traded. Trading also limits the need to capture wild Pokémon and has proven invaluable in the conservation of several rare Pokémon. Assuming the new trainer is willing and capable, most Pokémon make the adjustment with no long-term problems. It’s a bit like a kid moving to a new city. It takes time and care, but it can be done and can even be beneficial.
I wonder what Pokemon would think about being thrown off into the void of Wonder Trade?
They could get a supportive trainer (like when I WT’d for the first time before a gym battle and proceeded to fight the gym with the recieved Bisharp before WT-ing him off when I realized he took hits bad during actual training) or someone that would immediately release them into the wild, even if they were a rejected hatchling.
Though I doubt that would be allowed/encouraged in the Pokemon World anyway…
Earthworm Jim is 100% a furry more then any thing in the world
he is a worm piloting a mech it is completely different. he is practically the opposite of a furry – an animal who dons a human suit.
If a dog had a humansona and cosplayed as a man I would consider the dog a furry. Likewise a worm who dresses up in a mechanized man-body is likewise just wearing a fursuit in the eyes of a non human
does shinji have an evangelion-sona just because he gets in one to save the world?

Fun fact: My cat does this too and I was curious as to why so I asked the vet. Apparently your cat is hearing the stutter in your heart beat caused by the sneeze and is making sure you’re okay.
