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 think you hold ovid in much higher regard than i do

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

re: fight for a future where 

@Satsuma i dispute your ontology
