It was done SO well. Such a shock and yet suddenly a bunch of little things all made sense in retrospect.

Growing up with your starters

Bulbasaur: Somehow, nomming on my clothes… has become a weird habit of theirs.

Venusaur: That hasn’t changed now that they’ve grown, but they’re very gentle.

Charmander: It’s my first attempt, but I made a plushie so that he wouldn’t get lonely.

Charizard: That plushie seems to be his favorite even now.

Squirtle: Squirtle’s a bit timid and hides behind me at the smallest things.

The Duke’s wife is the third from time to time, and I feel like he’s not gonna be happy about that

If you get the king in on this, the duke can do nothing without risking insulting his monarch.

This could not possibly backfire!

Also, more often than you might think, they’re not actually promoting bigotry so much as “didn’t consider all the implications of something” or just used words that were polite then but considered offensive now.
