There was an autistic kid in my grade all throughout high school who loved Riolu because, in his words, it was the only pokemon that could look like it knew how to hold a gun. He hung himself last year. I’m not even kidding, blew my mind when I found out.

Any idea why he hanged himself? Also why Riolu of all pokemon, you asked him?

Probably depressed or something. He used to wear a WWII helmet everyday to school that he said was his grandpas. And yeah he had an instagram where he would upload pictures of Riolu and nazi memorabilia, I asked him why Riolu was his favorite and that’s what he told me.
>autistic >apparent depression >obsessed with nazism >seemingly obsessed with firearms Seems like he would've fit the profile of a would-be mass shooter.
I just spent like 10 minutes trying to find an old screenshot of it but his instagram name was something like “mein haupt riolu.” Anyway, if I could see any pokemon with a gun it’d prob be an Abomasnow. Imagine it with a minigun or missile launcher.
