Manga gold>Every other pokemon protagonist. Knew there was a reason i liked you
Rejoice! Gold is by far the greatest protagonist in any Pokemon media. Such a shame there was never an anime for Pokemon Special.
Is it also a reference to John 3:16 or do you just like the number
I wanted the handle Gold originally but it was taken so I settled with Gold316. 316 is a random number I thought of...

..but now that you mentioned it...

"The first thing I want to be done is to get that piece of crap Ash out of my show!

Don't just get him out of the show get him out of Pokemon because I proved son without a shadow of a doubt you ain't got what it takes anymore!

You sit there and you thump your Pokeball and you say your catchphrases and it didn't get you anywhere!

Talk about your sobs, talk about Arceus 3:16, Gold 3:16 says I just whipped your ass!"

Only wrestling fans are going to know where that came from.

I personally thought he was the weakest of the Special protagonists.

The dude is kind of obnoxious.

But really I like Gold because he's arrogant while not being too over the top cocky and his personality is a departure from the typical goody goody Pokemon protagonist like Red. He's almost like if Ash and Gary had a lovechild.

And to be fair he gets a lot stronger when he trains with Red at the end of the GSC chapter.

Personally when it comes to the special protagonists i think Diamond the weakest(i know go figure) but really i didnt enjoy the whole comedy duo thing or the fact that he only becomes a good trainer under stress.He seems to hold down pearl and platinum

I think Red is the only decent protagonist in the SpecialVerse.

Gold is an obnoxious asshole
Ruby is a diva who complains so much
Diamond is pretty meh
Black has no personality what so ever and that actually pisses me off

I wonder how Special XY is.

I only really know that X is supposedly a loner/shut-in and Y is a model.

I haven't read past the Yellow saga. :lol:

That said, it was the first manga that seriously gripped me, especially as I don't read manga all that much.

I have only read R/B/G saga and half of the Yellow saga, because they stopped releasing them here after that... :(

If only there was a site where I could read the rest...

The girls actually comes out much better except that Blue is a pathological liar and thief and Platinum is kinda bland (although almost a lot of characters are kinda on that side of bland in DPP chapters)


You can probably tell I never been positive or a fan of PokeSpec.

Especially when people always say it's better than the anime when that actually got better but Ash just gets screwed 8 ways to Sunday when ever he is the Pokemon League because we can't let him win

Plus Ash would beat Manga Red because his team is actually diverse compared to Red's "Fire Types don't exist in my world" team

Fire moves are good, but Fire types aren't that great

Weakness to both ground and rock, not to mention water

As a mod, I don't get a chance to post this very much so for fun:

X is kind of boring IMO. His poker face never really changes throughout the saga. Y is actually a Sky Trainer, not a model (though she changes her hair throughout the story). She's the more interesting of the two IMO.

XY so far is pretty good IMO despite being potentially rushed (will probably be fixed slightly when official volumes are released), at least from what I've been able to read. There's a lot more suspense, Green & Spoon Mewtwo make a welcome return, the "Friends" are not useless/annoying unlike in the games/anime, and Team Flare might take the crown for best villains.

I have only read R/B/G saga and half of the Yellow saga, because they stopped releasing them here after that... :(

PM me and I can provide you with recommendations/links if you'd like.

So I've been on a binge for the post reboot Archie Sonic (reading both the main story and Universe) and damn this is good stuff.

Can we have everything that source stated ever?

I REALLY don't want that to be true.

If all rumors about the NX are true it'd be "portable" in the sense you'd need a backpack with all the tech and batteries needed for it. And it would also be somehow better than the WiiU while having last gen graphics?

What is article trying to say?

"It won't appeal to PS4 fans" seems to imply that it won't have games like CoD and all, but Activison is on-board.

I wonder what this novelty is. I'm a late buyer, so I'll just wait and see, I suppose.

Also relevant:

The only thing I want to be true from the this whole MCV thing is the NX's launch being good.

Joe Merrick (Serebii) doesn't believe it as Game Freak's already going to have released SM for about 6 months by then

Whatever the case, it's best to not take anything as fact.

Nintendo really should break the silence soon. My guess would be doing an announcement sometime between September and December of this year, considering it's launching in March of the next year.

I'd say it's best to announce it this month or next month, though it might be at Game Awards or something

My problem with Nintendo holding off on the announcement this long, is that I can't tell if it's confidence, or insecurity, on their part.

Also I can only see a new Pokémon being on the NX in the first six months if it's a port of Sun & Moon, or a third version exclusive to NX to help boost sales (Pokémon Eclipse?).

And a new Mario could mean anything. It's most likely NSMB or a new kind of 2D Mario. But I don't see it being a 3D game. IIRC, Miyamoto said it'd be a stretch to think the new 3D Mario would be complete enough to present at E3 2017. He's also hinted that the next 3D Mario could be Galaxy 3, and if that is the case, then yeah I could see why it's taking them so long.

Seems like the Team Flare thing's gonna be a little short then which is a shame but oh well.

Win the Pokémon League, or the Love League, tho? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
