Parappa the Rapper is getting an anime.
:| ...I don't know much about this...rapper dog, but, it was weird enough seeing him in the PlayStation Smash rip-off, and Peanut Butter Gamer showing that his game is rather strange...so...this really surprises me.

:/ Ya no saben que hacer.

Honestly it's not too surprising they went with this. After all, Parappa The Rapper as a whole is considered a beloved franchise of the Playstation. I could argue it has as much popularity as something like Uncharted or Spyro.

And hell, this isn't even the first Parappa Anime.

hello guys just wanted to ask what nickname you'd give to a latios I cant think of anything.
I don't normally name legendaries in Pokemon, but I think Indigo and Scarlet would be decent names for the Eon duo...

New Straw Poll. This time it's Zelda-themed.
So far I never disliked any Zelda game...
But as of now Twilight Princess is hands down my favourite, as it is probably my second favourite game period...Just something about it just sets it apart from other Zelda games (besides characters and story I mean)

Although Breath of the Wild may give it a run for it's money......we shall see...

midna4life though...

...and 4 smash :p

Just watched part 1 of the Kalos League finals featuring Ash vs Alain.

What a fantastic fight thus far! Fast-paced, good strategies, and pretty entertaining to watch. This is another episode I definitely recommend giving a watch. I'm going to leave my thoughts in the spoilers tag below.

Pikachu vs Tyranitar was a good start. Pikachu's agility was definitely key here in winning against Johto's pseudo-legendary, even with the Sand Stream taking effect. Ash withdrew Pikachu and summoned Noivern, while Alain sent out Weavile. After some first fighting, there came a moment where Noivern knocked Weavile into the mountains. Weavile then used Double Team, and Ash ordered Noivern to use Supersonic to find the real one. After finding the right Weavile, Noivern tried to attack, but Weavile dodged it. Alain then ordered Weavile to use Ice Beam, and it ended up hitting Noivern in the wings to slow it down. This allows Weavile to easily attack with Night Slash and finish it off. Noivern might've not had a victory here, but at least it had a victory last round.

Hawlucha immediately jumps out of its Pokeball, concerned about Noivern's state. Ash returns Noivern to its Pokeball and decides that Hawlucha should go up next. After some Karate Chops from the luchador hawk with Weavile's quick dodging, Hawlucha and Weavile end up on the river, and Weavile freezes it. This seems to be disadvantageous for Hawlucha because it isn't an Ice-type and thus can't handle the ice properly, but it starts jumping one foot after another. Weavile hits it with Ice Beam, but Hawlucha barely takes any damage. Hawlucnha's body starts to glow red.

This allows Hawlucha "to become stronger the more it is hit" according to Ash. This strategy proves useful, as it allows Hawlucha to move gracefully through the ice while taking minimal damage from Weavile's Night Slash attack. There came a point where Hawlucha manages to grab Weavile in a wrestler fashion, then followed up with a Flying Press to KO Weavile. This moment really made up for Hawlucha's early KO in the last round. Overall, this was definitely my favorite part of the battle.

Alain summons Bisharp, and it uses Thunder Wave on Hawlucha. Hawlucha then goes for the Karate Chop, while Alain orders Bisharp to use Guillotine. Both attacks collide, causing both Pokemon to receive some damage. Ash orders Hawlucha to use Hi Jump Kick, but Bisharp dodges it, causing Hawlucha to crash to the ground and receive some damage for missing. Bisharp then goes for another Guillotine. Hawlucha tries to dodge it, but it fails to do so due to the paralysis; thus, the Guillotine lands and one hit KOs Hawlucha.

Alain withdraws Bisharp and summons Unfezant, while Ash summons Talonflame. That follows is an all-out aerial battle where the two Pokemon fly next to each other and try to land Flame Charge and Sky Attacks on each other, with some Air Slashes from Unfezant here and there. If I could describe this phase of the battle, it would be like watching a military jet show. That's how exciting this part was. It ultimately ends with a draw after Talonflame and Unfezant collide with a Flame Charge and Sky Attack respectively.

Ash brings back Pikachu, while Alain summons his Metagross. Metagross has the upper hand at first, overwhelming Pikachu with its fast speed and ultimately cornering it using Rock Slide. Once Pikachu escapes, Pikachu manages to latch onto Metagross's head so that it can't be seen. Alain orders Metagross to shrug it off, but it is now use as Pikachu lands a Thunderbolt attack. There was also a point where Pikachu even stopped Metagross's attack using Electro Ball in order to stun it. Pikachu ultimately KOd Metagross with an Iron Tail once it was weakened.

Alain then summons Charizard. Pikachu lands a Quick Attack and a Thunderbolt on it, and the episode ends.

Alain only has Charizard and Bisharp left, while Ash still has his Pikachu, Goodra, and Greninja in his arsenal. Who will prevail?

This episode did leave something to worry about though...

Halfway through the episode, we see Mairin and Lysandre watching the battle. Lysandre then says these words to some sort of device on his ear.

"Execute the plan. All of Kalos... no, the world should be watching this right now."

The second sentence was paraphrased, but that was the main idea.

Oh my! Looks like the possibility flags for Team Flare interrupting the League have been raised even higher than before.

In terms of animation, it was pretty good. The last two Kalos League matches are set up in a way where the part 1 has great animation, but then part 2 blows it right out of the water. It was like that with Sawyer's battle, and it seems like Alain's battle is going to take it one giant step further for its part 2. Don't believe me? Check out the preview for next week's episode.


I'm hoping Goodra gets another awesome moment during the battle. I'm hoping it will take out the Bisharp.

I refuse to accept this and I don't see how this is logically possible.

But Crobat still has a shot.
Hopefully he'll get one. He is my favorite Gen 2 Pokemon.

A rumor to potentially consider

and the Evil team takes over the Attack on Titan Town:
"Wimpod evolves into a chimera of Scolipede and Kabutops"

Wimpod will so be on my team if this is true.

And the thing about Rockruff and the starters makes sense, imo.
