They feed an army of Grimer and Muk with all the junk. Then, thanks to a Silph co. invention, they use the increased and processed biomass as fuel.

thankfully it seems like a lot of pokemon are conscious of this and will recycle things. Because of this, all the pokemon who recycle are slightly more morally upstanding than those who do not. Hopefully they do not get hit with the move Knock off which will undo their attempts to keep things clean. However the pokemon muk has the ability sticky hold, which means he can’t be thwarted with such underhanded tactics by pokemon like weavile, who is a very morally bankrupt pokemon.

Again clicking on this question thinking it should be about artists recycling ideas for new Pokemon etc. :laughing:

I distinctly remember in Destiny Deoxys, we see a trainer scan a bottle to be recycled


It feels pretty fitting since Hoenn focuses on nature and our relationship with it. In an ideal world, they’d want to keep the environments that Pokémon live in clean since they strongly coexist with one another

Be the answer you want to see. What comments do you have about artists recycling?

The entire setting of the advanced generation is peak 2000’s futurism.

We were so, so robbed.

Given how Pokéballs are disposable, I’d imagine the routes being clattered with empty Pokéballs. Almost like a ball pit.
