fight for a future where
academics cite pokédex entries the way they currently do ovid’s metamorphoses
fight for a future where
@Lady first step is making pokedex entries significantly longer and more narrative
fight for a future where
@Satsuma they have a whole anime for that
fight for a future where
@Lady ok then fight for a future where the anime is cited
fight for a future where
@Satsuma i don't expect the anime to survive
it will be referenced, but not cited
i expect the pokédex entries, however, to survive
fight for a future where
@Lady their likelihood of survival does not turn them into substantial pieces of literature
they are more akin to reference texts useful for interpreting mythological fragments which survive from other texts than narrative works
re: fight for a future where
@Satsuma i dispute your ontology
re: fight for a future where
@Lady i’m not talking about quality i’m talking about function
you use narrative texts differently from short descriptions
