Re: I wanna be the very best! (Pokémon theme week, 10-17 May)
I miss the days of having to explain to people that the cartoon was based on the games and not vice versa.
...wait, no I don't. :smallwink:

I am imagining an adorable kid version of your regular avatar wearing a pikachu t-shirt and looking miserable. This is... Well, I think life is all downhill from here.

I was Red for Halloween.
You have nothing on that.
"Oh my gosh, you're Ash!"
":smallannoyed: No."
"Huh?"
"I'm Red. From the games. Not Ash, from the anime."

Technically Ash was one of the default names from the first game. :smalltongue:

I haven't made an avatar since Gender Bender week. Hm... Probably should get back on that. I don't want to lose my touch.
Slayer Draco = Sneasel? That would be awesome. Sneasel = win (though you can't catch them as early as you used to in Soul Silver, which is disappointing).

Yes, but you can't fight Ash in Mount Silver. You can, on the other hand, fight Red. Who has pretty much the same design as the player character from the first game.
So, y'know.

The third one is great to turn into a drinking movie.

Re: I wanna be the very best! (Pokémon theme week, 10-17 May)
I missed a region but is it just me, or Ash keeps forgetting and re-learning most of the stuff he already knew in Sinnoh, just for the plot?
IIRC Brock actually told Ash "Didn't you already know that?" Which got the answer "Yeah, but not like that!" or something similar..
Sinnoh is stupid.

Fix'd. Sinnoh is decent. Ash? Not so much.

C'mon, give the guy some credit. I mean, he set squirtle free, he never notices the girl traveling with his is head over heels for him, he misses the most obvious of hints...
...yeah, I can see where we're going with this :smalltongue:

Don't forget his continual ignorance of physics.

And he can't remember what types are super effective to what,his rival has a blastoise,he has a pikachu,and gary annihalates him.

To be fair, the Blastoise was probably faster than Pikachu (unless Quick Attack or Agility was used), and with enough firepower to punch through Pikachu's meagre defences and massacre the yellow rodent. Besides, it was more dramatic to beat Blastoise with Charizard. Ash may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but much of that is due to "rule of cool" trumping proper intelligent battling.

Well this is the same series that claimed water pokemon were weak against fire. :smallamused:

It is. The anime just ignores little things like that sometimes.

Fire is weak against water, but also strong against water. It's simple!

We're talking about the Pikachu that KO'd a RHYDON with THUNDER, right?
I don't think "punching through it's defenses" really matters when it can use Electric attacks to take out Ground Pokemon. Seriously.
The anime makes no sense. It has very, very little basis in the canon. Thus, I generally ignore it.
Except for... actually, I can't think of a single thing the anime has that I don't like better in the games. Even the battles (which are work in a slightly more logical manner in the anime) are better in the games, since they follow physics (sorta) and are consistent.

Can someone explain to me how it is that any attack aimed at another attack or team rocket has a high chance of resulting in an explosion?

All three of them...
I like the Sinnoh seasons, especially now:
In the episodes released to America, Ash has Gliscor, Staraptor, Monferno, and Grotle. In Japan, he's evolved Monferno and Grotle into Infernape and Torterra, and has started training a Gible. That wants to perfect Draco Meteor. He got his rear handed to him by the first real rival since Gary. And Cynthia, the other awesome Champion, has appeared multiple times.

Rule of Cool Explosions. If there was to be a live-action Team Rocket movie, I'd hire Michael Baysplosion.

You misunderstood me. I was under impression that the anime specifically claimed that it is actually fire pokemons that are weak against the water pokemons, not vice versa. At least that's how I remember it. But then, it has been some time since I last watched it.

And I don't even know the third one, since we never got so far over here.

Hoenn. The somewhat more boring one.
As for shipping? I'll let Bulbapedia handle that one.
Pick your ship.
