one of the funniest things about Pokemon and knowing it was made by an autistic man is that in the Pokemon universe, making eye contact with someone is literally canonically saying “you wanna fight” 

this is just one of many examples of trainers saying similar things like this 

#ok to rb if you want to #I just find this hkdfjghdfg rly funny because in the Neurotypical World not making eye contact w someone is ‘rude’ #and it stands to reason #that in the Pokemon world #making excessive eye contact with someone would read as ‘you wanna fight buddy? you wanna go? you wanna fuckign duke it out right now??’

And yet, even if you walk past a trainer without looking at them, the game makes you stop and look at them.
