(mii voice) i had the same idea
Iām starting a collection
In 2007, legendary Hall of Fame baseball player and broadcaster, Bob Uecker, stayed in a Pittsburgh hotel that was home to Anthrocon, the largest furry convention in the world. While broadcasting, the octogenarian sports legend said that "they call themselves furriers, I believe," and "the furrier society were checking themselves in just as the team arrived. A little strange, but....that's their thing."
As Anthrocon is historically held minutes from PNC Park where the Pittsburgh Pirates play, many baseball players have an association with furry. For example, former Major League MVP for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Andrew "Cutch" McCutchen (average: .419) always tweeted about furries when Anthrocon was in town for Pittsburgh home games. On a podcast hosted by the former quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cutch was asked point blank if he was a furry, and he said he "had no fursona." McCutchen's fascination with furries is so well known that there is a t-shirt design with Cutch in Pittsburgh with the word "FURRIES" on it.
The strangest part of all is this: McCutchen has notably improved performance during home games held at the same time as Anthrocon, and it was observed that if he continued his performance at the same level he does when Anthrocon is in town, Cutch would be the greatest baseball player in history.
me explaining to the other trainers that apricorns are unknown outside of Johto because of deliberate suppression by the Silph and Devon corporations to present artificial pokeballs as the only means of capturing pokemon and establish regional monopolies after they eliminate renewable sources
(via @itsbenedict)
eternalfarnhamĀ replied to yourĀ post
youāre in the pocket of Big Ball, I see
thereās no pocket for me to BE in, thereās no LOBBYING involved, thereās no SUPPRESSION campaign because you donāt need one! traditional methods suppress themselves when you make modern pokĆ©balls available. you might as well start accusing AT&T of deliberately suppressing the noble traditional art form of the goddamn semaphore.
not to mention OP demonstrates a total lack of understanding of the market realities of the pokĆ©ball industry- Silph and Devon are not monopolies, if they werenāt in constant competition their magic monster domination spheres wouldnāt cost two bucks a pop. the ball spec is a public standard, and Bill Masakiās storage system based on that standard is an open-source project. theyāre only the two largest players because theyāre able to leverage economies of scale. you still get smaller operations like the Laverre City PokĆ© Ball Factory, with better regional supply chains and local brand recognition, making room for themselves in the market.Ā
sm FUCKING h at yāall granola-crunching conspiracy theorists. you probably also believe Super Potions cause autism.
Ok, but it is a shame that artisanal balls are basically off the market now. Like, you have to ride the monorail and hike through a half dozen routes just to find someone willing to sell you a Fast Ball. Believe me, when your boss at the power plant needs five Electrodes by Tuesday you are not going to want to make the trip to Alola; youāre going to head on down to the Mart and get some Ultra Balls, which will do the trick but arenāt well tailored to the job.
Iām with you that modern catching techniques are better, not to mention more humane, but there genuinely is a loss from more niche balls becoming harder to find. Maybe someday the long slowpoketail of consumer demand will be met, but I wouldnāt hold my breath for that Shellder.
look yāall are missing the point. mass production of silph balls crowding out traditional apricorn craftsmanship is, if anything, more a side effect of the real problem: that capture artifacts are too easy to get your hands on these days. $2 basic balls are a problem. before modern ball tech you had to go to an artisan, yes, but part of their job was to care about who had the power to recruit pokĆ©mon from the wild, as a backstop against another Knight of Veilstone coming along. there was a time when youād never lay a hand on a ball yourself until it was clear you respected pokĆ©mon, whether tame or in the wild. but now, a āpokĆ©mon journeyā is open to practically every teenager, even if theyāve got not interest in treating their team with trust and love.
the worldwide rise in the last century of organized crime and apocalyptic cults who use pokĆ©mon as their muscle is a direct result of capture artifacts becoming a mass produced market commodity rather than a mechanism for preserving the sacred trust between humans and the wilderness. itās a miracle that the powder keg hasnāt already gone off by now.
Oh that is rank historical revisionism - what, do you think artisansā definitions ofĀ ārespectā were constructed in a vacuum?Ā We already had rhetoric as far back as the warring states period in Ransei about how only theĀ soldierly classes, overwhelmingly descendants of nobility and taught from birth,Ā had the intangible qualities necessary toĀ ābondā with PokĆ©mon. And when we start seeing apricorn balls develop in Johto, which borders Kanto - Kanto, where we know thereās been extensive cultural cross-contamination with Auroran and Dragnoran expeditions - surprise, suddenly only a small population has the intangible qualities necessary to use them, too.
That notion was, and remains, a tool to limit general access to PokĆ©mon in the interest of maintaining class disparities. I mean, have we already forgotten the Aether Foundationās pseudo-conservationist nonsense? Their attempt to manipulate natural resources and establish a power base in Alola, while they were modernizing and taking their place on the world stage, was founded on this exact rhetoric of ārescuingā PokĆ©mon from local disenfranchised populations, as if taking PokĆ©mon away from places like Po Town would improve things instead of increasing competition between trainers and decreasing safety.
Do you want more disillusioned kids joining gangs? Because thatās how you get Teams!
Artisanal balls and anyone who supports them are tools of the aristocracy to suppress the common folk. In the days when a ball could only be made by hand by an expert, only the wealthiest could afford pokemon, and as a result anyone not born into theĀ āelitesā was forced to be subservient to theirĀ ābettersā for protection.
The release of the $2 pokeball meant that the balance of power shifted to the common citizens. If any child can wield the power of a god, the military and the government and the wealthiest businessmen have no power over them.
More than that, instead of power being determined by the wealth to acquireĀ pokemon, power comes exclusively from the dedication, effort, and empathy required to trainĀ them to high levels and to maintain their loyalty. If a person simply buysĀ their pokemon, then those pokemon will either stay at low levels forever, or refuse to obey the human because there is no respect between them; the most powerful people in the world are those who caught a critter at level 2-5 and then devoted their life to raising it into a world power.
And as a beautiful side benefit of this, standard of living has increased across the board. Since every household has at least one minor pokemon in the family and there are increasing numbers of professional, working pokemon joining cities and other civilized areas and working to improve them, every aspect of economy and industry has been enhanced by their supernatural capabilities. Electricity is generated cleanly and in abundance for everybody. Pollution is cleaned up almost completely and instantly. The production of farms, mines, and workshops is multiplied, even as safety standards improve. Yes, every few years another potential apocalypse comes about and needs to be prevented by a couple of brave teenagers, but outside of those incidents the world is damn close to utopia.
