The My Little Pony world seems idyllic if you are not a protagonist or subordinate of the designated evildoers. Pokémon residents, on the other hand, experience crime, disease, capitalism, and forced cockfights whenever you happen to walk in front of someone.
Yeah, no offense to Pokemon, loved the games, but definitely one of those situations where the vibes are STARK contrast to what would be the lived experience.
Disease is still a thing in the MLP universe. And so are crime and capitalism, though to a much lesser extent, usually.
The forced cockfights are a wild thing, sure, but they’re never (or at least very rarely) permanently injured from it, and (at least supposedly) a lot of them seem to enjoy doing it. And going by the anime style, battles don’t happen every time you walk in front of someone – it’s usually more of an arranged challenge that you’re free to decline if you’re busy or just don’t feel like it.
Plus, on the disease front, in the Pokemon universe, you could get injured or diseased, sure, but there are a lot of things in that universe with mysterious healing powers that might be able to fix you up – not just pokemon with healing moves (which sometimes seem to also work on humans?), but also just a lot of random semi-mystical places and objects that have healing properties. Then again, MLP probably has some pretty good medicine too, with all the magic and potions and whatnot.
I’m starting to think the biggest differentiator here is the danger factor. In the Pokemon world, even young children can freely explore pretty much wherever they want, without needing to worry too much about their safety. But in the MLP universe, the edges of the map are full of very dangerous places that only the most hardened adventurers would ever dare to visit, with very dangerous and hostile creatures in them. Once you get outside the boundaries of Equestria proper, that world is a very dangerous place.
Oh, and Pokemon has much more prolific and advanced technology… If I’d like to continue watching movies and chatting on the internet, Pokemon is the way to go.
Wait a minute… I’ve been going about this all wrong!
I’m an author! I could make a fictional universe, perfectly tailored to exactly what I want! Pokemon/MLP/furry crossover with immortality, no significant danger or disease, transformation at will, rampant horniness, and Fully Automated Luxury Communism! Let’s fucking go!
