i posit that there are 2 classes of crime in pokemon world:
- Pokemon crimes
- Financial crimes

you can get haircuts that aren't pokemon-themed or administered by pokemon so there ARE some non-pokemon-related activities

I mean, any violent crime is almost certainly going to involve Pokemon by default, so, yeah, it's basically either Pokemon or white collar shit.

or did we just never invent them because we had pokemon

Guns I believe exist per the Anime

the phrase "water gun" is canonically used in remoraid's ultra moon dex entry

remoraid famously known for its ability to use bullet seed
bitchin camaro
@sanduophon
Wed, Feb 23, 2022 6:22 PM
ok i just checked and it literally does learn bullet seed
bitchin camaro
@sanduophon
Wed, Feb 23, 2022 6:22 PM
which a. makes this way funnier and b. makes the idea that guns are based on remoraid extremely plausible
Quinnfernal
@quinn2win
Wed, Feb 23, 2022 6:23 PM
I said remoraid because you said 'water gun' is used in its dex entry

I'm imagining someone holding it by the lower fin and then pulling on the upper fin like a lever action rifle

I've invented a new very large type of gun

@yurisoldier
Wed, Feb 23, 2022 6:40 PM
because the barrel resembles the claw of a Clawitzer, I've decided to call it a howitzer
Quinnfernal
@quinn2win
Wed, Feb 23, 2022 6:40 PM
it can select a target to fire at automatically, to 'lock-on' if you will, just like a remoraid

Many but not all financial/white collar crimes are aided by Pokemon too, even ignoring using supercomputer psychics as hackers

If you have to posit that it only works in battle, then it creates money literally out of the anguish of others, which is basically the definition of exploitation

Of course Payday creates like what, $0.50 equivalent?

@yurisoldier

it'd still be an economic crisis if somebody made like a factory farm of hundreds of Meowths firing it off around the clock
