Talk:Absol/@comment-4849011-20161215002646

Before my review, let me get something out of the way. I think the people saying, "Absol doesn't kill!" are missing the point. Like other people have pointed out, Absol are drawn to the sites of impending disasters and try to warn people, but people mistakenly think they cause the disasters. I believe that Reaper isn't causing the disasters, but the narrator, Mickey, mistakenly thinks it is. He's an unreliable narrator falsely blaming Reaper for the disasters, which lines up with the Pokedex entries. I know I'm not the first to say that, but I felt compelled to say something.

As for the story, it was sad but moving. I prefer Poke-pastas that are set in the Pokemon world as opposed to "I played a strange cartridge, and something really creepy happened!!!" This showed a dark side of Pokemon, with a human family dealing with tragedy and horror that might be encountered if that world really existed. The descriptions were good, describing graphic situations without going overboard or relying on gore. In my opinion this was depressing, but well-done.
