- Pokémon are animals
- alchemy is chemistry
- magic is electricity
A. With a stretch, sure
B. Well yes. Alchemy was just chemistry before people knew what chemicals were
C. For sure. You tell a medieval person “hey, here’s this special rectangular rock mirror that I shoved lightning into through a fancy metal rope, and now it can think and make pictures that move”, you’re not making it out of your witchcraft trial alive
Dog is the best starter Pokémon, btw.
Better for the early game, sure. But have you seen the stats on some of those late game cat evolutions? The dog line starts having serious type disadvantages when you’re getting ready to challenge the gym at Waco.
I mean I’m sorry what?
The goal of alchemy was to change one element to another. Specifically, most of them wanted to turn lead into gold for obvious reasons. Chemistry evolved out of those attempts but never succeeded so I would say, no, chemistry is not alchemy.
On the other hand, we have now successfully turned lead into gold, so alchemy has been achieved via high-energy physics and quantum mechanics. But the cost to do so is so high, and the quantities involved are so low, it will never be a profitable venture. Plus the gold atoms only lasted a fraction of a second before they shattered into other particles.
No, yes, no.
