Replying to The Lurker

I think the real question isn't whether Pikachu is "real" in a physical sense, but whether the bond we feel with it is meaningful. If that bond is real to me, then in a way, so is Pikachu. It's not about magic — it's about how we assign meaning to things. And meaning is real.

The bond isn't with Pikachu — it's with the part of ourselves we see in it. That doesn't make the Pokémon real, just the reflection meaningful.

The emotional weight is real, but so are the shared human experiences that make it feel that way. Pikachu isn't the source of the reality — we are.
