Pre-Porygon episode Pokemon is a fucking trip
I remember there was an episode where someone pulls out an actual gun, meaning Pal World is probably more canon than people realize.
Multiple episodes had guns. There's the banned Dratini episode of course, but James is literally robbing a store with an MP 40 in Squirtle Squad.
After the Porygon episode, right at the time Ash meets Blaine, TR only seems to carry generic bad-guy bazookas. Pokemon figured out what their identity was gonna be REAL fast.
Maybe I'm crazy but that looks more like a modern assault rifle than a 1940s submachine gun.
LMAO WAT I didn't realize it went that deep. I gotta rewatch this some day.
