Have Gary Oak legitimately lose his Raticate, and I'll be there.

In the few episodes of the original anime Team Rocket is actually threatening, they're really threatening.

And no, I don't mean the three idiots trying to steal some kid's Pikachu.

Well. Maybe the second and third episode. Then they put on kakuna suits and get caught by beedrills. You can literally pinpoint the time they became captain planet villains.

Giovanni was such a let down too btw. No character arc because they wanted to use a bit of it in the movie, and then have team rocket survive. I would genuinely look forward to seeing him as the villain in this new one.

A main character other than Ash will be nice. I don't know why Ash has to be the main character of every journey. It just makes the series so sad. I watched 30 or so episodes of Black and White and it wasn't that bad. It's just so sad that even after 17 years of journeying, Pikachu still loses to a L5 Snivy. If he's gonna hit the reset button every generation, why not just have a new main character? That way there's a slim chance of character development. Ash basically isn't allowed to undergo any meaningful development. It's just killing the series for me.

It'll be nice having characters detached from the anime that are allowed to grow and develop. I wonder if they'll change Green's clothing to a blue colour if they release this in the west.

well considering how ash is in a coma and all these adventures are a product of his comatose mind, some irregularities are to be expected

I hope this time the protag will actually kick ass properly. No bullshit friendship letting the pokemon go crap. That pidgeot could have been such a keeper.

Charmader best starter poke ever. Totodile after it. Bulba only good cuz finding a legit good grass is hard.

Yes please, Ash actually sucks as a trainer. Always running around with non fully evolved Pokemon...frustrated me to no end.

I picked squirtle. I named him Bob. I taught him headbutt, surf, earthquake and something else. I used no other pokemon except that duck with the stick to cut through shrubs. I literally beat the whole game with a single pokemon. He was some insanely high level when I got to the final four.
Bob, brute force Bob ;_; too much nostalgia.

Me and my brother shared one copy of blue version, and we ended up picking Bulbasaur. I think we both eventually wanted to pick him, but it started from one of us wanting Squirtle and the other Charmander.

Pokemon was our only "new" game at the time, and the only game we ever had for our Gameboy for many years. We just didn't understand the concept of buying new games really lol. That game was seriously the best though.

Too bad it's only a special. Anything that doesn't have Ash as the main character is welcomed.

When will they make the best series ever - with Gary mother fucking Oak as the lead?

bulbasaur is the best choice. there are a ton of strong water types and aranine/flareon are good fire types. Not enough strong grass types, bulbasaur is the way to go

Not sure what is with the hate of current gen design pokemon. It's the same guy doing it and they look like something that would come out earlier. There were some dumbass looking pokemon in red/blue and gold/silver, and there are plenty of good ones aswell...so it's basically the same as the current gen right now.

The biggest disappointment was Ash battling Giovanni for the first time ever during the Meloetta arc.

What?


I never played Pokémon Blue or Red, I had Pokemon Yellow. In Yellow, you cant choose between pokemons in the beginning, you just get a Pikachu. But if I had played Blue/Red, I would have chosen Squirtle as my Pokémon, because Turtles are awesome.

That was a fantastic read. Of course, it isn't what the writers were actually thinking, but it's a really well-designed theory nonetheless.

The new anime looks cool, but I'm not expecting it to be geared towards an older audience. I mean, what can they really add? Romance? Death? That's not going to happen, it's still a Nintendo product. The best thing they can do is add some more diversity to the antagonists, which I think Yu-Gi-Oh! did a better job of (although I admit I haven't watched a lot of either one).
