    Don’t forget the psychic ones. Any world with abundant telepathy and mind control is pretty much guaranteed to be a dystopia.

      Hypno was definitely one of the scariest Gen 1 pokemon.

      While it awaits its prey, it polishes its pendulum. If anyone comes by, Hypno will hypnotize them and eat their dreams. It carries away people having good dreams and is even known to have stolen a child at one point.

        at one point

        Weak sauce.

        Drifloon:

        Stories go that it grabs the hands of small children and drags them away to the afterlife. It dislikes heavy children.

            I mean if it feeds on them psychically (eating dreams or fear or w/e) then lighter children would mean it could carry more prey at once, making it less about fatphobia and more about efficiency.
