Checks out, the Pokémon universe was actually just Japan all that time.

Google Game Boy Light.

He's very clearly using a DMG. Ash just put an aftermarket screen in it. I've got one just like it.

They could digitize creatures and encapsulate them in pocket sized containers. Their tech is a bit more advanced

Same. It was highly uncomfortable.

I have been thinking, with how closely inspired lots of Pokémon are from real animals, that you could probably come up with a collectible card game or such, using real animals.

I mean, maybe I'm just being an old person and kids wouldn't find that cool, but I certainly felt at some point, that I would've spent my time better, if I had learned about biology rather than made-up Pokémon stats...

That sounds like a lot of fun dad, now let's get you back to the home. The Wheel is about to be on and you can tell me more about Nana.

There was a card game where the elements of the periodic table were monsters and you had to ionic bond them to win. It had a tie in book series.

I, too, am a very big fan, of, commas,.

Well I,m, glad because, I, do, put a, lot of, them,.

One time, I had to hand in English homework, 1½ pages, and later got it back from the teacher with the feedback that I had only written two sentences. The first sentence spanned the whole first page, which wasn't intentional.

I hear that watching the evolution from eohippus to horse needs a lot of batteries.

A Gameboy color gets at most 30 hours and takes 2 AA batteries. So across 30 million years, you'd need about 16 billion batteries lol

A GBC only takes 2 AA batteries

Ah shit you right, I was thinking the DMG. Well half that then.
