Any thoughts about this messy Pokemon block of subexamples?

  • At least that generation has a grocery department selling normal food (but not to you) in the department store town. The closest mention to people food in the earlier generations was the vending machine drinks you gave to the thirsty guard.
    • There was a restaurant in Celadon, but they were eternally in the middle of an eating contest and couldn't serve you.
    • For all we know, every place sells other stuff, but the PC only cares about things related to Pokemon training.
    • The Pokemart shelves are completely stocked with merchandise you can't even look at. So that could be "normal" items like food and clothes.

I assume "that generation" refers to X/Y. I don't recall being a restaurant in Celadon city or even which game that was...R/B/G/S? I could merge part of the last two bullets in somewhere but it feels like Natter.

Castlevania games provide numerous examples of this trope. The merchant in Wygol village, for instance. Hammer in Aria of sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow. The Librarian in Symphony of the night.

Fridge Logic! :D the Pokemon marts are like grogery stores, but the Pokemon items are only for trainers by asking the clerk.

There we go. Makes much more sense! TANK YOU, GOD!
