I legitimately believe Pokemon Sun and Moon was used to influence the U.S. Election.

If this psycho doesn't get a new tag for one of the dumbest premises I've read on this forum I'm going to be very disappointed.
 
I think most young voters if they bothered to vote probably would've gone for Hillary, even those who joked about liking Trump and were on 4chan and such and weren't mindless bots I'd like to believe would've probably voted Hillary had they cared enough to actually go to the poll. I think Russia realized this and any method to decrease young voters from turning up would probably work in their favor

You realize the most popular method of voting for young voters was mailing it in ahead of time, right?

Russia is not only meddling in US Affairs, they are also targetting Europe.
The 23rd June 2016 was the day when the UK voted to leave the European Union,
guess what also happened that same day? The goddamn Steam Summer Sale.
If you think of Steam, what comes to mind first? Dota and Counter Strike. Which is the most commonly used language in BOTH games? Russian. That can't be a coincidence.

well, each candidate got like what 3-4 million votes, right? How many copies did Pokemon Sun/Moon sell in the US?
The truth might be chilling

Normally I would make a dismissive joke but I’m reading The Men Who Stare at Goats right not and I am open to anything and I believe you with my whole heart

This is the worst thread I’ve ever seen on this forum.

Oh man. You must of missed the thread of someone trying to pick up chicks using that weird language in FFX. THAT was a great thread. Or bad. What ever. Oh there was anther that someone went to the hospital for a puppy bite. That was a good one too.

OP, did you even fucking read the article about the Russian connection to Pokemon Go?

This is how paranoia and conspiracy theory unfolds. Read the facts, make rational inferences. Don't just read a fucking headline and assumed some group affected every aspect of your fucking life.

12 months ago I would have laughed at this.

Today, I am not so sure. We are literally in an espionage war with Russia and they inundated our social media to influence our election. After Pokemon Go became a global phenomenon, it wouldn't be far-fectched (heh) to think that all the eyes on Pokemon could be used against us.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
You know what? This actually isnt that crazy, people are probably just mad at politics in gaming side or whatever. I wouldnt be surprised if this was the case. Im not giving it much more thought than that though.

I hope this is actually a joke thread so you people who see Russian agents in rose bushes and toilets look more fucking ridiculous than you already do for even giving this the time of day in your brain.
