Rant Series #3
Disclaimer: For entertainment purposes only. My opinion not yours, no flames plz. Feedback always welcome.
let'z start....:2thumb:
Ok so when i was a kid i used to watch Pokemon all day everyday (who didn't?) then I slowly moved on to other shows. I come back every once in a while glancing at episodes if i'm REALLY bored. Here's my main problem with Pokemon....
1. It's been 14 years!!! if ash hasn't become the whole world leader by now then somethings wrong.
2. Why does ash always get the sweetest pokemon and trains them to the fullest, to just let them go?!
3. I'm tried of brock. Period. He's the only org character from the beginning that still survives the show. How does he get to last that long? :what:
4. I bet any amount of money that when the FINAL EPISODE comes out (whenever that is) pikachu is going to evolve at the end. bet.
5. shouldn't ash be like a adult by now? i mean seriously he started out when he was like what 10? n its been 14 years.....when is ash going to evolve!!! lol
6. How many regions does one have to win before someone claims this boy as the best?!
7. If they come out with one more pokemon movie i think im going to scream. :mad2:
8. Is there even really a concept anymore to this anime? i think not.
9. pokemon don't look like pokemon to me no more. what happen to the cute and cuddly? like eve, pikachu, jiggly puff etc.??? now they look like man-made machines! so you mean too tell me pokemon has went high-tech?!
In summary, i could probably go on and on about flaws with pokemon but i chose not to bore anyone with that lol. I just wanted to see if anyone was just as fed up as i was. Maybe i'm wrong :what: hmmmm just a thought.
:bye:

1. Brock is awesome
2. A show about a 50 year old who everyone thinks is the best and never has anything go wrong and wins all the time is lame, and little kids still want to watch new pokemon episodes, we did why not them?

The Pokemon anime is a waste of time.

1. Brock might be awesome but he's been around forever. He play's ashs personal therapist and he's nothing but a perv when it comes to women.
2. Ash wins all the time too and he's not even 16 yet, he might lose once or twice but still some how he comes back and wins. And little kids are watching the show from the starting point of now. The kids haven't seen 14 years worth. so they wouldn't know how the show is so redundant.

I laughed because most of these are outdated, and have been fixed or don't really apply.
Brock? He isn't in the group in the B/W series, Best Wishes.
Ash goes in entertainment time, where five minutes can equal hours in real life.
There is a new Pokemon movie coming out, the one about Victini, and it has like, two slightly versions, one for Black and another for White.
Did... Ash even ever 'win' a reigon?
And, Rankursuru.

Anyway, BACK TO MINECRAFT!

I think he won at the first region. After that he kept loosing and getting somewhere around 2nd.
I always found it weird how they never remember the legendaries in the movies, and act surprised when they meet another one.

Ash is a crappy trainer
seriously
never made it to elite four
and it's obvious that that he can't win Sinnoh league
hell people using uber pokemons
but Cynthia is just awesome

The problem is that he doesn't win every region per say. He gets his butt handed to him everytime he goes to the Pokemon League. In fact...Sinnoh was the first time he actually made it to the semifinals.

He won the Orange League and every other League, he keeps getting closer and closer.
Top 16, Top 8, Top 4.
Also the B/W anime is def better. In a dozen episodes, he already has a full party of new Pokemon. And Team Rocket are actually smart now.

Im convinced that Team Rocket doesnt even care about Pikachu anymore. They just need something to do so James doesnt have to go back to his rich hoity-toity family and marry Jesse's southern Doppleganger xD

I wish they would just scrap the current anime and replace it with an adaptation of Pokemon Adventures.

I bet it'd be totally ruined though.
Then again, even if the Pokemon Adventures anime sucked, I'd still watch it. Especially if I get to see Yellow and Red animated. Oh my god, especially Yellow.

I just wish they'd make the series about someone who really was the best! Someone who outsmarts the other trainers not always out "loves" them.
It woulda been so cool if ash had a kept a pokemon from the very beginning that was now in it's final form and way stronger. It'd be a lot funner to look back at the "little" stages. Instead of changing his team every region I wish he'd kept his original team for the most part. Ash is just a love 'em and leave 'em kinda guy :(. You know that song with the line, "some say love is holding on and some say letting go". Ash doesn't seem to grasp the holding on part as much as the letting go.

But love and friendship rule all~! Didnt you watch YuGiOh? Believe in the heart of the cards, man!! xDD

Just because you love with all your heart doesn't mean you have to be a wimp with not much else going for you :(. Even my nephews laugh at him. I kinda feel bad for Ash.
I think it would be that much more poignant if he won by heart only once in a while instead of most of the time. Like, if he was always really strong and his pokes were awesome. Then he meets a trainer that just totally takes him down. It would be more emotional for sure.
