I wanna be the very best! (Pokémon theme week, 10-17 May)

[lord pringle]

ruki could you make me a pringle-rookmon or any other machine digimon?

[Reinholdt]

And whose fault is that? Just exercise some self-control and don't put your special avatar up until the week starts. Then, keep it on for the month or so following the week.

Everyone else who was using a pokemon avatar and confusing my easily pliable self into using one too. Clearly they were taking advantage of my weak willpower.

I BLAME THE MASSES FOR DOING THINGS EN MASSE!

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

*twitch*

No......just no.

No, I refuse. When I was a kid I watched the english version, with the english song. The english song is a part of my chemical and emotional make-up, just as much as the english Pokemon theme, or, like, 90's X-Men or Gargoyles.

Also:

MEN! We have a weapon!

*puts together squad of Loudred to weaponize it*

[Blue Ghost]

Do we have to have a war in the middle of this wonderful week? You know that by spending so much effort on the Digimon, we are only legitimizing them.

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

Hey, HE doesn't even like his own english theme song! It's not my fault I'm obligated to threaten to use that against him. It's my nature as a conflict-seeker!

'Course, for this to be a REAL week war it'd have to be them fighting US. Stands to tradition, it does. The real fighters have always been the RESISTORS.

His own? *cough* I'm Mexican. The Latin American Dub included a dubbed version of that song with the same music and same opening. It just chanegd the lyrics.

And we're not having a war, we're just chit-chatting. There's a difference.

ruki could you make me a pringle-rookmon or any other machine digimon?

Sure, but it'd have to wait until tomorrow... send me a PM so I'll remember, 'k?

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

Well, okay then. I'm Canadian, and like stereotypical North Americaners I instantly and moronically assume others, when presented with evidence I'd have to spend even the least effort to find, assume others to be English as well. Please punch me. It'll make us both feel better.

Anyway, I like the English dub theme. It's nostalgic for me. Mmm. I had a toy of one of the Ultimate modes. The walrus-turtle-Thor one. Forget what to call it, he wasn't exactly a major player amongst the main characters. Digimon week would stick me with either him or Evil-Robo-Dino-Dude. I dunno.

Not starting with Kabuto for this week would have stuck me with Feraligator, because it's that or Blastoise, and I haven't had much exposure to Blastoise lately.

On to more pleasant, on-topic discussion, could hold that sharpening rock for me? I'm getting a little dull.

What makes a person choose to be a pokemon, I ask? Why would he choose that one? A philospohical question.

[MCerberus]

I keep telling you, I'm not a whetstone.

and for the choosing question, it mainly color-matched my other avatar and is easier to draw than a Ryhorn. My favorite is Articuno though, has been since I owned Red. It turned out pretty decent actually. This avatar ended up looking almost like a plushie.

[Blue Ghost]

What makes a person choose to be a pokemon, I ask? Why would he choose that one? A philospohical question.

I choose to be Manaphy because Manaphy is a happy Pokemon. I have to be a Water-type, and Manaphy is the best one. So happy and bubbly. The ability to Heart Swap. And the ability to hydrogen bond with my friends. That's always a plus.
It's hard to frolic with all the Digimon around though.

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

I found some nifty candies that I thought I would give to my pokefriends in the spirit of friendly competition. Although, you probably shouldn't eat too many, unless you're a munchlax or a magikarp.

Give back all the shuckles you kidnapped.

[Sliver]

I return from battle, Scyther fought well.

Er...No, wait, that episode doesn't exist! Don't look for it! <.<; Ah...uh...Flaaafffy? *cute face*

It's too late! I SAW IT!

[Dogmantra]

I think I have it the best. I stay the same and get to play with a Pokemon. By the way I asked the Butterfree and he was absolutely fine with it.

[Elder Tsofu]

Pokémon probably suffer from an increased rate of the stockholm syndrome.
But as long as they're happy...

[Sliver]

We've got them, Jessy!

That's right!

Prepare for trouble!

So, if this isn't a true war against the week, that must mean we have a 'pacification action' on our hands- pacification by bombardment for example...

[Serpentine]

Someone suggested draciwhatsit for me, and in a search I came across an alternative version of its ultimate evolution that I like much more. Thusly.

[Coplantor]

The LAtin American dub of Digimon is the only dub of Digimon!






OK, there are others, but thats's the one I saw and loved as a teen... KID =P

[John Cribati]

Walrus-turtle-Thor one.

Zudomon. Yes, I remembered that off the top of my head.

[Coplantor]

Zudomon. Yes, I remembered that off the top of my head.

IIRC, It was also the one who killed Metaletemon... the bastard!

[John Cribati]

Technically, Saberleomon killed him. Zudomon just broke through his outer shell.

[Coplantor]

Yeah! Now I remember the whole episode! Wow, memry sure is a weird thing!

[Serpentine]

Soooo... Digimon actually has death? As opposed to "fainting"?

...

I... I think I'm on their side now

(but the monsters themselves are better in Pokemon )

[Coplantor]

Digimons died all the time, a few of them resurrected/reincarnated though.

And what can be cooler than a Wargreymon?
(A freaking cyborg dinosaur that flies and his special power is to kill dragons)

[Kobold-Bard]

Pokemon have a tower (and in fact an entire town built around it) dedicated to dead pokemon. Don't you remember the ghost of the Marrowak from the first games who was killed by Team Rocket?

Digimon are pretty much sentient programs. Their death is basically them breaking apart into code. In the 4th season, they became Digi-eggs when they died.

Oh. Boring.

I'm back on Team Pokemon!

[Mercenary Pen]

Gotta say, having seen pokemon first, digimon seemed a little off by comparison so, whilst I occasionally watch pokemon, I avoid digimon...

[Coplantor]

I saw pokemon first, played almost every game, but I prefered digimon becasue it had an end, sort of.
