A question: If you know something is a hyperbole, and thus a literary device, why would you take it to its literal interpretation? It has happened in a few instances with me as well, to the point that I usually clarify that it’s a hyperbole to prevent having to argue on what's basically a literally device. I prong use hyperboles any more because I thought that maybe I wasn’t being clear enough on it NOT being literal but here a clear awareness of it being a literary device has been shown so I was curious.

If you have any issues with people using hyperboles, it’s fine but I find it weird to call them out for using a literary device, trying to get them to prove its literal validity (when it’s a literary device) and then telling them it’s a hyperbole. I’d just like to understand how to handle hyperboles here. I guess it’s not the correct thread but I’m not sure what’s the exact thread to ask about literary devices on these forums.
Because not every user is going to understand that it’s hyperbolic. Some would just think that the hyperbolic ad hominem he was using was genuinely accurate. Hyperbole is also an argumentative fallacy. It doesn’t do anything to actually justify one’s position. I like that you clarify this when needed, but that was not done here.

I don’t have a problem with people using hyperbole in general, I especially do have an issue when people use it as part of an accusation or attack about myself or others and I’m not fond of it being used to justify one’s position.

One day Go recieves an email from "Project Mew" asking him to come to the laboratory at the foot of Mt. Tengan in the Sinnoh region. He immediately heads there together with Satoshi, and when he arrives he's finally given his first mission; Getting an Alola Kyukon in the glacial aarea north of Mr. Tengan. Will Go be able to complete this mission?!

Yonemura wrote the first Project Mew episode, so I guess it would only be natural to write the second one, lol. That being said, I wonder why Goh's first Project Mew mission is to get...an Alolan Vulpix...in Sinnoh. :confused:
 
Ok, I do like that Project Mew isn't throwing a new recruit out to the wolves with whatever the Regice situation will be.

Yonemura's the head writer isn't he so makes sense

Alolan Ninetales actually and yeah, that makes no sense seeing one in Sinnoh
 
So, no Regice?

How did an Alolan Kyuukon end up in Tengan-zan?
Still, it seems easier than dealing with a Legendary.

These writers though.....
 
So much for a Lillie cameo (for the time being)...

Since its on the poster, I'll bet even money Goh catches A-Ninetales (for all the good it does)..
 
Then, why is it Alolan?

If more specimens can be found in other places, then the variant needs a renaming.
