how the pokémon is depicted on all media: friendly little guy that does some cool flashy moves

the pokédex entry: this pokémon is known for conjuring nuclear bombs, there are reports of it throwing those at people it finds ugly

@sirlan i feel like this is a big mismatch between (here) the anime and the games– pokedex comes from the games primarily

so anime is like mega exolution is super duper frenship
but then
the games pokedex for mega sharpedo is

The yellow patterns it bears are old scars. The energy from Mega Evolution runs through them, causing it sharp pain and suffering.
so its not really all media i think

@sirlan Drifloon moment

@sirlan cf. mass effect's items and ships having all sorts of neat hard-ish sci-fi lore written out when you inspect them

but everything in the game looks like fuckin firefly or some shit
