    …this implies they have a cardboard box full of Arceus, the Pokemon God

      What’s wrong with that? This is the same world where a 10 year old can force a legalized cockfight with exotic animals they’ve trained in order to capture said god themselves, at which point the god will do their bidding and fight other exotic animals on the kid’s behalf. And all without parental supervision! This comic seems just as plausible as anything else that happens in this world.

        That puts it fully into perspective. My partner and I like to discuss how messed up that world is, but we tend to focus on the darker side of cannibalism.

          As opposed to the light-hearted, fun side of cannibalism?

    Original comic, since the posted copy is infested with jpeg

    https://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic/hotspital

    Also, it was extremely easy to find the original one on their site. Would be nice if people who shared this stuff on Lemmy spent just a little time to get a higher quality copy.

    They’d have to store one for each level and possible ability combinations.

    I don’t know enough about Pokémon to even try and guesstimate that number.

      It’s even more than that since you can improve attacks with more AP, two Pokémon of the same level can also have wildly different stats depending on different factors, there are also genders, passive abilities, etc.

      Also what about legendary Pokémon? Are they having hundreds of different versions of literal gods in each of those?

        Probably those are generically engineered blueprint Pokemon, which they can quickly adjust to lvl and settings

          Could be, but once you start involving genetic engineering, you probably can also just heal the Pokémon.

            It probably just boiles down to costs. Our economy mostly favors reproducing over repairing.

            Functionally, what’s the difference between “healing” a Pokemon vs. using their genetic makeup and organic matter to biologically 3d print a fully healthy clone?

      There is a giant factory breeding operation going behind the scenes.

      Why else do you think they can afford to serve Slowpoke tail in restaurants?

    This implies they have multiple legendary Pokemons and multiple magikarps in multiple masterballs because that’s how I roll.

    I don’t see a monetary incentive for this, my bet is they sell the experienced ones as a perverted snack for the ultra rich who enjoy eating the children’s pets.
