Gen 2: Team Rocket mutilates animals to sell their parts on black market

I could have sworn it was established that the tails do grow back as early as Gen 2. Maybe it's in the anime or something?
Christopher Howard
The rockets in the game have always been based, unlike the the shit anime
Jordan Fisher
Gen 2 says that it grows back, though it specifies that it’s very slowly
Aiden Hill
We have always known that the tails grow back.
Justin Sanders
Damn, the 90s sure were needlessly edgy
Nolan Cox
They've always grown back. Play the games
Adrian Gomez
Someone should make a hack replacing team rocket with team discord. Their goal should be, as it is now, to shit on johto. The ecelebs could be the presidents.
Isaac Long
>needlessly
nope, it's a criminal organization so it's not "needless"
Jackson Campbell
They grow back in gen 2
Isaiah Cook
I'd argue it's even more horrific if they grow back, you're literally keeping this creature alive in unending pain since it takes so fucking long for it to notice the pain. By the time it realizes it's lost its tail a new one has grown back and you chop it off again.
Jaxon Foster
Wtf kind of logic is that? If I knew my dog's tail would grow back, I still wouldn't cut it off because it would possibly be extremely painful for him. Cutting off Slowpoke tails is still abusive and evil.
Jayden Powell
Proton xisters where we at?
Zachary Miller
I wanted say they do that in gen 2 but the event is over. I found something interesting instead.
Charles Adams
Huh, this board usually isn't so fast
Jeremiah Jenkins
>special device
Oh no no no, what do we do, fellow shrink-fags?

*ahem*
Apologize.
Kayden Gomez
Gen 8 you can make slowpoke tail curry.
Blake Hill
>Hollow it out
The special device is a lock
Elijah Harris
shut the fuck up stupid gen alpha
Joshua Young
Translation fuckup. In JP Misty asks Giraldan/Lawrence III to just use a pokeball like a normal person.
Christopher Johnson
It's evil because it's team rocket doing it and they literally kidnapped all the slowpokes from azalea town.
Otherwise it's just a delicacy
Anthony Lee
He didn't collect suicune, he enslaved them, and just to catch luggage btw
Ian Reyes
>Before POKé BALLS were invented, everyone used APRICORNS.
Learn to read. Pokémon having the innate ability to shrink was established in Gens 1/2.
Liam Turner
To all the "But its painful!" Fags in the thread.
Pokemon Sun: Its long tail often breaks off. It doesn’t really feel any pain, though, and the tail grows back, so Slowpoke isn’t particularly bothered.
Ultra Moon: Although their tails, which fall off naturally, can easily be found lying around, they’re a precious ingredient for cooking.

>they're too dumb to realise it therefore animal abuse is ok
I bet you were one of the psycho kids who used to stomp on snails whenever you saw one.
