Absurdist version

The conversations that occur when the player playing Pokémon is challenged, are always banal. Yet once the opponent is defeated, they remain there standing in the landscape, motionless.

I can not think these people do not experience the existential weight that is waiting. Hence I reapproached the text-lines, changed them with absurdist quotes like some of Camus and Oswald Wiener, even some existential questions from Twitter. This creates the eerie vibe where the player is pondering the existence of the NPC and their environment, but also the real life environment with a comedic approach.
