No one here shows up with the weapons they had at home.

None of the shops here will sell weapons, either.

Is that right? [Or has he missed something?]

[bufudyned]

That's correct.

[usedmeanlook]

Then why give us these pets?

[video]

[bufudyned]

I believe whoever brought us here wanted us to defend ourselves with the Pokemon, not with our own abilities.

[usedmeanlook]

So-- what? It's okay to maim each other as long as we don't do it ourselves? [That's stupid.]

[video]

[bufudyned]

Not at all; I believe you're missing the point. This world discourages others from fighting each other completely.

[usedmeanlook]

These things are supposed to be pretty powerful, right?

[video]

[bufudyned]

They are, yes. Their biology is most peculiar, considering most of them accomplish feats that should be impossible.

[usedmeanlook]

Then it doesn't make sense to take away mundane weapons and then give away animals that can do plenty of damage on their own.

[video]

[bufudyned]

The animal you're given when you first arrive will not attack you. The ones in the wild will, but that's when you employ you first Pokemon to fend them off.

[usedmeanlook]

And what's stopping people from training them to attack people?

[video]

[bufudyned]

To be honest, I'm not quite sure myself. There has only been one recorded case of a trainer using their Pokemon to injure another human, and that was for the purposes of... [hesitation] -- either way, even if a trainer does order their Pokemon to attack another human, the one being attacked as the option to use their own Pokemon to defend themselves.
