Talk:The Hand on My Shoulder/@comment-26480939-20151201005100

When I saw the title of this and read the last line of the pasta, I knew it. This is a Poképasta, isn't it?

POKéMON NERD MODE ACTIVATE!

Okay, if this was written from an in-game viewpoint, then why is this story set in 1991? Pokémon Red/Green (original JPN versions) didn't come out until February of 1996. The American release was in September/October of 1998. If you wanted to make this more believable for a Pokémaniac reader, you shouldn't have set the story five (JPN)/seven (USA) years before the release of the first games.

That being said, this is very interesting from a Poképasta standpoint. The 'mysterious hand' almost never gets brought up in Gen I era Poképasta set in Lavender Town. Usually, it gets set in Pokémon Tower or brings up stuff about it, like theories and whatnot. For trying something other than the usual clichés, you deserve some commendation.
