I'm sorry is that true are people really out there collecting bugs and making them fight each other as a hobby o.o It was a thing in Japan a long time ago, yeah. No clue if it's a real thing nowadays. Piplup_Sniper posted... No. Bug fighting may have been popular but Tajiri in interviews has stated that he was aware of it but never participated in it. Capsule Monsters already had fighting as part of the concept and originally Pokmon was more like a traditional RPG. It wasn't until further in development that Pokmon started to be shaped up by Tajiri childhood of exploring nature and catching animals in which the concept of Pokmon as we know it today emerged from. But bug fighting was never part of that inspiration, when we turn to Tajiri's biography he started viewing Pokmon as these friendly creatures that are more like cats and dogs. Indeed in his biography he pretty much admits that he started to conceptualize Pokmon battles as two pet owners allowing their pets, in this case two dogs, to duke it out, not two bugs fighting one another. I know. I'm saying that trading was the reason that they did GB, and that battling became a secondary aspect as to why they really pushed the connection. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?
