Pokémon Centers are a staple part of both Nintendo's JRPGs and the anime franchise. In most towns, the Pokémon Center Nurse (Nurse Joy in the anime) can be found waiting to heal a trainer's battered and potentially knocked out team. It is a service that one cannot imagine a mainline 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokémon game with🌃out, but that does not mean this feature makes a💟ll that much sense.
As tends to be the case, a plethora of memes exist specifically to point out some 🍷of the more absurd aspects of Pokémon Centers. Considering the games seldom change all t🧔hat significantly, this means that most Pokémon-related memes are timeless.
10 The Truth
Regardless of how badly defeated a Pokémon is in battle, they can always be healed at the local Center. While the anime does throw out the occasional curveball, the games never hint that🐲 there is any injury that a Pokémon💜 Center cannot heal.
Apparently, these free ho꧂spitals have access to medication that puts to shame anything that is available for humans in the Pokémon universe. One cannot help but wonder what exactly is going on behind the scenes. This comic taps into the darkest timeline.
9 No
Nurse Joy, or the Pokémon Center Nurse, has a tough job. While the process of healing Pokémon seems simple enough, she has to constantly deal with trainers who might not take care of their party all that well. How often has Nurse Joy had to bite her tongue as Bug Catcher Benny or Battle Girl Aisha brought in their team for an💎other free treatment after thoughtlessly letting their Pokémon faint in another battle?
Nurse Joy presumably loves Pokémon and wants to protect them, but the very existence of Pokémon Centers enables 🐓trainers to accept risks on behave of their 🦹team that they might otherwise avoid.
8 🐟 Words Not Chosen Carefully
This single line has spawned enough memes to fill hundreds ofﷺ articles. Even after eight generations, the Pokémon Center has yet to realize that maybe wishing for repeat customers is not in good form.
If the Pokémon Cent🙈ers charged their clients, then this line would actually make more sense. It would also be far more despicable, but there would꧃ at least be more to it than just a poorly thought out farewell.
7 Nurse Joy𝓰 Is Super Effective 🍸
Blending the anime and games, this meme pokes fun at the Pokémon Center Nurse's fixed dialogue. Putting aside a couple of g🐲enerational and situational changes, she will always essentially say the same things. Nurse Joy has a touch more agency in the anime, but she is also seemingly stuck in an endless loop as each year repeats itself with little to no variation.
Now, it does not take a lot to throw 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Team Rocket off꧂ their game,𝄹 and Nurse Joy's unflinching dedication to repeating the company line would surely work.
6 💝 The Passerby 🐠
Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire and X & Y included a trading system that allowed players to connect to others via a local or online connectio𝄹n. Those wh🧸o were not on a player's Friends list would appear as Passersby, with an icon representing them.
After a while, people started seeing𓃲 the occa▨sional user with a for an icon. It was bizarre, to say the least. This meme reflects that splendidly.
5 Bro🎀ck Is Quite Observant
While this meme mocks the anime specifically, the running gag about 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny appearing 🍒in all of the towns across every region is a refere༺nce to the games' infinite parade of Pokémon Center Nurses.
If an NPC works fine, Game Freak sees no reason to change things up. Pokémon is a franchise that finds com෴fort in the familiar, and it would feel a bit strange if someone else appeared behind the d🔯esk of a Center.
4 Onix
While not an option in every entry, a number of games allow a single Pokémon to walk alongside their trainer. This meme specifically references 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:HeartGold & SoulSilver, which was the fi♏rst game to allow every Pokémon to accompany the playable character throughout the majority of the campaign.
However, a couple of the bigger cr✱eatures were prohibited from entering most buildings as they would naturally cause a tiny bit of damage. Apparently, Onix did not qualify for that ✤list.
3 𓃲 Ask A Stupid Question... ﷽
Reading the same lines of dialogue over and over again eventual🤪ly starts to grow annoying. After a certain point, it is only natural that one might begin to reply with a hint of sarcasm to t🃏he NPC's seemingly innocent questions. Still, there is basically no other reason to talk to the main Pokémon Center Nurse, so this line of inquiry is a touch nonsensical.
Perhaps the reason Game Freak keeps on making the games easier is🀅 so players have less reaso♒n to visit a Pokémon Center.
2 Some Things Never 🌳Change
Pokémon changes, but only begrudgingly. In the grand scheme of things, there are not all that many ways a Pokémon Center can be improved. It is one of those areas that Pokémon got right in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Generation I. Be that as it may, this com༒ponent's complete lack of development highlights an issue that has played the franchise for years: This universe feels static.
Why are the Pokémon Centers always the s🅘ame? Surely, there must be some regional differences. Is everything so centralized in this world that there is no room for individuality?
1 🦩 A Break For Everyone 💯
Considering Game Freak has been mostly working with handheld consoles, the studio has done an admirable job of crafting lengthy adventures that make the most of their respective hardware. Even 🗹if there are times when the games crawl to a halt to repeat a conversation line.
Anyone who has ever played a Pokémon handheld game will recognize this meme's scene; in fact, they might find themselves unwittingly reaching for a Game Boy to mash the A button. Ti🤪me to get back to the scrolling🧸.
