Pokemon and Sonic X are/were both horrible shows.

I get your point, but saying they're ALL good is totally wrong. There's some stinkers in there.



It wasn't sarcasm, either.

Just google the exact phrase I said. Look up "Anime was a mistake", too, while you're at it.
I'm well aware of the meme (also haha funny memes). And apologies, sarcasm wasn't the right word. But when you put that single sentence without anything backing it up like italics or emotes or whatever, as silly as it is, and expect us to take it as purely humor, yeah, we're gonna take it the wrong way.
And don't think I'm saying I'm not gullible. Because I am. But I also wasn't the only one who "misinterpreted" your statement.
Either way, if there's one thing I've learned it's that debating with you is like screaming at tree bark to stop being brown, so I'll just back out of this now.

Oh trust me, anime sucks at game adaptations just as much as we do. Though the fighting game adaptations tend to be just as cheesy, of which I enjoy.
There are zero good movies based off games
The anime adaptations for the most part are pretty good
And saying the Pokemon anime isn't good is just wrong
It may not be true to thevgame but there's a reason why it made Pokemon popular
Yeah, and promptly get the show cancelled. You seem to have forgotten that Pokemon battles in the canon of the games are simply sports, so no brutal battles are something that shouldn't really exist in Pokemon. Also if you mean by more dangerous villains, you mean that Jessie, James and Meowth should be dangerous, you kind of missed the point of them, since their supposed to be the comic relief villains, and there are more threatening villains in the show then them.
Reminds me of what they did to Team Rocket in the BW saga
One of tje reasons I stopped watching it
Thank gods they went back tobtheir old selfs

Guys. I know Pokemon is targeted at kids. I know my dream will never happen. I was just saying.

It'd be badass though. And The Pokemon Company is pretty good at catering to older fans as well as younger ones seeing as how they still put a huge emphasis on First Generation Pokemon.

.....Yeah, when I mention a meme that's often used in a self-deprecating manner by fans of anime, I would expect it to not be taken seriously by someone who's aware that it's a joke. :facepalm:

If we're using success as a way to determine what's good and what's not, plenty of video game movie adaptations were successful. As crappy as they may be, how many Resident Evil movies are there now? And how many of them performed well? There was also Mortal Kombat, the theme song of which is more widely known than any piece of music from the actual games.

The Pokemon anime is formulaic rubbish that should've ended at least a decade ago.

Pretty much every visual novel ever
The F-Zero anime
Animal Crossing had a movie or two
Kid Icarus had some shorts
There's also Kirby Right Back at ya
And of course, Persona 4

And how can we forget the DK animated series :troll:

I loved that Kirby show.

We didn't get 4Kids when I was younger so the only time I ever got to watch the show as when we went to "Rooms to Go Kids" because they had 4Kids on. They showed Kirby all the time. I loved that.

I like anime as much as the next guy, but lets face it:

Anime like Boku no Pico and Oreimo do not need to exist, and the latter does not need to get full-voice acted video games.

Boki no Pico is just a bad hentai
It's like comparing movies to pornographic movies
Same look, totally diferent things

So, anime based off of seven franchises (and to be honest I don't know if I'd consider Kid Icarus a full blown anime). Yep, sure is "most" game adaptations.

Also, all visual novels? There has never been a bad visual novel adaption in the history of ever?

But hentai is still anime, and a porn movie is still a movie. It's like saying manga isn't a comic book, or anime isn't a cartoon.

Gee, so much Anime today in here. :troll: Surprised no one mentioned Cory in the House...

In some related new to the talk about cartoons, how would people react to some of your favorite childhood shows getting a remake?

Or better yet, what shows would you like remade? Seeing this video gave me the idea.


>First thing mention is Magic School Bus.

Loved the show to death as I child, next to PBS's Arthur, and would love more of MSB to happen.

> *at 0:52 of video* mention's DuckTales Reboot is happening in 2017.


YES. TAKE ALL MY MONEY. MAKE IT HAPPEN.

I guess it'd all depends on how the reboot would turn out, but I do think the Codename KND reboot is a great idea. Hopefully it gets through.

The worst part about this is that Galactic KND was deconfirmed. CKND was one of my favorite shows as a kid and learning of a reboot made me ecstatic. and then learning it wasn't happening was less than fantastic news. . . stupid cartoon network.

Well, that's sad to hear. It sounded like a cool idea, I loved the show myself.

I never did get that about Cartoon Network. They'll take down a decent series or idea before its feet are off the ground, but are more than happy to keep Johnny Test and the like. I gets it's cheap and is still popular, but really?

Really

Green gave zero ****s at the start of the manga.Also salamence did a number of both ruby and sapphire
Zombie Pokemon.
Green's Charmeleon cut an Arbok in half (twas a flesh wound)
Giovanni used Ice Beam to freeze two Magmar and then breaks the statues.
Blue putting Pokeballs in her bra.
Gold's a pervert. Nuff said.
Ruby taking Sapphire's measurements while she sleeps.
Sapphire's jungle outfit.
Steven dying of exhaustion.
Aftermath of Ruby's fight with Salamence.
Maxie burning Norman alive with Flamethrower.
Archie crushing Courtney to death.
Mewtwo being stabbed by Deoxys.
TR Admin falling out of an airplane.
Archie fighting Maxie to the death.
Emerald peeing on Ruby/Sapphire (such a pretty rainbow).
White going into a shock coma/falling out of the ferris wheel.
Korrina being slashed by a Honedge and falling into a coma.
Emerald being watched by Hoopa while using the bathroom.

Team Plasma/Flare are also both pretty creepy/evil. N himself, the artist absolutely nailed his facial expressions.

I hope something Smash is announced soon. Not even Pokken could keep us off going of the rails.

CN tends to screw over shows that have more of an "action-y" tone for some reason.

Teen Titans, Generator Rex, Symbiotic Titan, Young Justice, the 2011 Thundercats, the list goes on and on.

Action cartoons are meant to sell toys and are for male audience

Young Justice was canceled because it was more popular with girls

Sym Bionic Titan was canceled because it wasn't going to sell toys

Action Cartoons are a dying bread in the western world.


Also I missed out on the anime discussion, damn.

Because Disney would win by a landslide.
All right, we'll pit anime tv shows against Disney tv shows, so what's gonna be the first match?
What could get me into Anime was if they made a more mature Pokemon series without Ash.

Actual dangerous villains, brutal battles, and cool looking action. From what I've seen from anime, the animation is top notch, I'd love to see the same quality from Attack on Titan for example in a mature Pokemon Anime.
Team Rocket has really been getting old, I kind of see them as just annoyances in the XY series most of the time, especially when they replace Team flare at parts, the power plant, the pokeball factory and the ice cave. If they didn't get sent flying ALL THE TIME, and weren't SO EASILY BEAT, they'd be OK.

Young Justice was my replacement for Teen Titans :'^)
Now we hace Teen Titans Go
And I find all thevhate it gets funny considering none of themvare valid
It all boils down to "replace it with regular Teen Titans"
Much like Smash fans say "replace clone X for original character Y" :^)

I just wish Spetacular Spider-Man didn't kicked the bucket.

**** ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN. It ain't even related to the comics by barely.

Atleast Live Action Superhero shows exist.

Arrow and Agents of Shield FTW
