Pokemon Umbral Theatre 19: Important notice!

There's pokemon and there's card games. The two are not equivalent. I'm not saying everything has to make sense, ever. We have a premise. It may be a ridiculous premise, like that of pokemon is, but it is one we can accept and work within.

But there's stuff that's just so inherently silly, it takes it to a whole new level.
Card Games do that.

Look, put another way.
The premise of homestuck is pretty silly. And so is the story. But goddamn, it's epic. But hussie can't just throw in any plot element he likes and expect it to remain epic. If we clean up the story a little, we can get epic. But card games would stand in the way of this.

Just as we can't add card games and expect anyone, including ourselves, to take the story seriously.
