    banette reminds me of a story i loved as a kid, the velvetene rabbit. a young boy contracts scarlet fever and has to throw out all his old toys, including his favorite stuffed rabbit. a fairy comes along and makes him a real rabbit as a reward for having “become real” to his boy. the next spring he returns to watch over the boy, and the boy recognizes him.
    i can see having your toys come to life being frightening, especially when theres ghostly energy involved. but maybe its like you said-banette just wanted to return to its old friend, just like the velveteen rabbit, but because of our fear we misinterpreted its intentions

      You just brought back a childhood memory. I think I watched a movie based on the story as a kid. I loved stuffed animals as a kid, and seeing the pokedex entries about it scared it, but I like this take on it.

    Banette has always been a personal favorite of mine, even before Mega Evolution was a thing. I've always loved the idea of Pokemon that's a doll possessed by a ghost, and it pulls it off so we'll. Plus, with good stars and moves, this little doll can be one powerful nightmare of a Pokemon in my opinion! 👻

    Banette has been my favorite Pokemon for a long time. Its honestly a bit sad to see it seemingly be "forgotten" by being so over looked, even by recent games. It's also ironic, as yeah, abandonment was the catalyst for Banette's sentience. I actually hadn't seen that last Pokedex entry as I haven't played Ultra Sun/Moon, but thats a neat and honestly cute way for Banette to be interpreted, as simply lonely and looking for acceptance. Very nice to see a discussion on this Pokemon.

    During my countless (and I do mean countless) playthroughs of Emerald, I've always raised either this guy or Dusclops for the Mossdeep City gym. So I've grown to appreciate this guy quite a bit. Sucks that it's Mega didn't get more Special Attack. Tons of special moves to use, but an okay at best 93 base to fuel them.
    Also, some pokedex entries point out how it sticks pins into itself to place curses on others, so we got some light Voodoo powers as well.

    My first play through of Emerald last year was a Nuzlocke and I had a Banette. That thing was monstrous, being able to shred nearly everything with it’s, in that gen, physical shadow ball. Sadly it died during the Phoebe battle, it tore through all of her other Pokémon but Sableye took the hit and KOed it in return. I later lost the Wallace battle (when I got to it I had also lost my Flygon to Drake), so I now sometimes think back and wonder how differently that fight could have gone if my Banette had lived.

I’ve already played through Hoenn twice before with ORAS, so the nuzlocke helped make the experience more unique and memorable than a vanilla run.

      @@CaptainObliviousV I mean it's weird how most other fandoms wouldn't dream of mistreating characters in a game but y'all treat Pokémon the same way as the villains do. Doesn't help the games don't punish those sorts of play styles like they should. Plus I'm not a fan of challenge runs that involve you severely gimping yourself and am just annoyed how literally every PokéTuber does Nuzlockes. Overexposure is annoying.
      Maybe play actually hard games for adults then?

    • @CaptainObliviousV
      @CaptainObliviousV Год назад +1

      @@ChangedMyNameFinally69 only the hardcore nuzlockers see Pokémon as tools (and even then, it’s fictional monsters made up of code. It’s not that big of a deal). Personally, I see it more as adding personal stakes to a game that usually only punishes failure by making you drop a few bucks. Also, have you seen the fascination and intrigue around Undertale’s genocide route and Deltarune’s snowgrave route? Why should the game punish you for playing how you see fit; that’s especially contradictory to series that allows for varying personal experiences every time you start a new save file. If you don’t like challenge runs then you’re not obligated to try them, but don’t harp on others for enjoying them. Also, if you find overexposure annoying, what do you think of other popular aspects of Pokémon, like shiny hunting? And I do play harder games with more mature themes; in terms of RPGs I greatly enjoy the Shin Megami Tensei, Persona, and Undertale series, but I still love playing Pokémon along side them and there’s nothing wrong with that.

    When you mentioned Shuppet possessing a a vengeful toy the first thing I thought was: how can a toy be vengeful? And then I started thinking don't argue Pokémon logic and then even worst I thought back on that scene in Toy Story where the toys that Sid made horrible creations of started banding together to scare the living crap of him and I remember I got a little scarred as a kid thinking my toys will kill me back in the day. 😅

    There is a theory that the more negative feelings shuppet get, he starts forming a body and grows up, then he evolves and turn into a banette toy. when its abanded by its owner, the old remaining negative feelings from shuppet are transfered to banette's body giving him life

    I think you have misread your source for the Tsukumogami claim.
    1. Tsukumogami can be VERY dangerous, just like any old yokai, it’s rare for any yokai to be flat out safe. Ittan Momen for example flies around and smothers people to death and are known for being very dangerous, even in your source on screen it says that some are dangerous to humans and to not confuse them with the more playful umbrella tsukumogami
    2. You could argue that Banette is loosely based on the Hinnagami. I say loosely because Hinnagami are more known for their wish granting ability, but the similarities come in when you look at how they treat their owners. Hinnagami are obsessive and refuse to leave their owners side, even haunting them in death still tormenting them with their powers. You can argue Banettes obsession with hunting down their previous owners are more closely related to Hinnagami rather than using Karakasa Kozo as an example
