had a job interview today, so that consumed a lot of my thoughts today (uggh, those are fun)

anyway, i had to go and update the history and technology of the world.
at first, i had the idea that it was set up similarly to the way it is in this game called Heartbeat where humans were like aliens to this planet inhabited by Pokemon. I scrapped that idea since it didn't really feel...right to me?

I changed things up and started this world from scratch (all this happening like two weeks before november, lolol). The native people in this world lived with Pokemon since the beginning.

it's slowly coming together in a neat way. i always complain about world-building to my girlfriend but its definitely rewarding once you get a hold of what's going on. in the history of this Pokemon world, people used to think of Pokemon as magical creatures or gods. I use a lot of information from the Pokemon wiki, bulbapedia and answers that the creators and developers of Pokemon have given in interviews in regards to how they believe the Pokemon world functions.

idk, i'm a history nerd so thinking about how a society developed with pokemon is interesting to me.

i also did some research on native american cultures since i think that will be a big influence on the style of the region. you know, with it being the Pokemon version of the American west
