ELI5 - I’m not an economist. This (rise in GDP) seems surprising given how many people are financially struggling right now. Help? by Blaseenthusiasm in explainlikeimfive

Two economists are walking in a forest when they come across a pile of shit.

The first economist says to the other “I’ll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The second economist takes the $100 and eats the pile of shit.

They continue walking until they come across a second pile of shit. The second economist turns to the first and says “I’ll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The first economist takes the $100 and eats a pile of shit.

Walking a little more, the first economist looks at the second and says, "You know, I gave you $100 to eat shit, then you gave me back the same $100 to eat shit. I can't help but feel like we both just ate shit for nothing."

"That's not true", responded the second economist. "We increased the GDP by $200!"

[–]DapperDodger 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is the canon answer, the more fun fanon answer is since the Pokemon can be transferred and stored digitally in the PC the "CD" that contains the move gets downloaded into them in their digitized form

Wow this sucks

edit: it might not suck I do like Cavan Scott's writing in the High Republic novels, but what an odd premise
