Oh dear, Gamefreak...

So... Apparently there's this HUGE fuss around some Gamefreak data leak. Honestly, I stopped really caring about Pokémon after Scarlet and Violet. (which are not canon in this house. We despise crunch culture and unfinished products here) So apparently there's this one story or something about a Typhlosion being effectively a pedophile or something. It's obviously not canon and I'm pretty sure Gamefreak were hoping it stayed under the rug too.
I swear humans latch on to everything negative for a good bit of drama. I have no qualms with Typhlosions and they still remain as my preferred starter. But I guess while the pitchforks and torches are out, let's pretend that Typhlosion-Hex doesn't exist. It isn't an image I want to be associated with on here. And while it's nothing to be super concerned about. There are people in this community that are just looking for a reason to be as toxic as possible.
But hey, let's have a little discussion. What do you think about all this? Do you even care!? lol~
I'd love to hear any other tales of game devs leaving behind dubious lore!
And give your starter Pokémon some love. All of them included. When was the last time you checked up on them?
I'm pissed at TPC for other reasons.
