Pokemon Anime & Manga Discussion

[UberMario]

Woah, they're changing Jessie and James' outfits too? I wonder if they will be more powerful this time around then if they really had their "TR status" upgraded (as one of the translations indicates).

EDIT: The Smugleaf in the anime is a female. 0_o

 

[Pluvia]

Don't like the look of Best Wishes so far.

Something looks wrong about Ash and they're even trying to change Team Rocket. Just make them stronger don't change their clothes.

 

[PowerBomb]

Guys, Ash is getting Wotter. Wotter is seen, in the anime, using a sword-like attack.

o_o

 

[UltiMario]

Shell Blade.

>.>

 

[UltiMario]

Mkay the anime is now hopeless.

So a character that has been in the series almost as long as Ash leaves, and Jessie and James lose their white coloring.

 

[Retroend]

well im looking forward to the 5th generation anime. and i agree with a lot of people, that final sinnoh legue match was total bull****!!! they always do this, they have some nobody coming out of nowhere and beat ash. the last one was worse, who the hell said legendaries are legal, least of all capture one in the 1st place?! the writers must be getting more retarted at the end of each generation series. to be honest, i wouldnt be surprised if they did the same stupid crap at the end of this series as well...

 

[Fuelbi]

lolwut team rocket being advanced troops?


But they finally get some black ****ing clothes. I've been waiting for this forever. Now if they were as half as competent as they were back when the series started

 

[Mr. Johan]

TR got black uniforms.

Just like Butch, Cassidy, and allllllll the other Rocket lackeys.

Well that's kind of saddening. Unique like everyone else.

 

[Pluvia]

I hate TR's new clothes.

 

[M.K]

Ash gets

Wotter, it is seen battling with Dento's Yanappu.

Ew. That's depressing. With his lame eyes he gets Wotter. LOL

 

[RuNNing Riot]

Okay, so I haven't seen even the previews of Ash's 'battle' with Takuto yet, but I just read the summary on Bulbapedia. Two legends coming from a completely random trainer that had barely any mention in previous episodes? Complete and utter bull****, I say. There are better ways to have Ash lose in the finals than pulling a Dues Ex Machina out of your ***, you stupid writers. /rage

Also, I'm finding it quite funny that most of you are hyped for Black and White but are panning the new anime series. IMO, I think it's refreshing that they're trying to prevent the show becoming stale and repetitive. Plus I like Ash's eyes.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Team Rocket (Jesse, James, Meowth) become part of an advanced squad? Awesome. Getting the typical black Team Rocket uniforms? Not so much.

The white uniforms were what made them unique.

I'd prefer to think that they got blackmailed into the change of dress. They'll probably spend the rest of the series moping about how boring grunt work is and taking orders from Drill Sergeant Nasty.

I ain't complaining, they don't deserve to be unique to me any more.

 

[flyinfilipino]

Team Rocket was long overdue for a costume change. It's not like we see many other Team Rocket agents regularly anyway. Poor Meowth, though; I bet he feels left out.

The preview for the last D/P episode looks kind of sad.

 

[Mr. Johan]

So this CD came out today.

Gonna buy it online tomorrow, then count every minute from then until I get the CD and put the Gen I Pokemon Gym themes on my Ipod.

Why is Wobbuffet not part of the Rocket team shot?

Muuuuusic for youu.

45 is boss toss.

 

[Wave⁂]

People still buy music?

 

[PowerBomb]

I wonder what kind of Pokemon TRocket will end up using. Will they still have their Seviper/Yanmega/whatever or will they release them due to mating seasons, or something like that?

 

[Charmander]

Its hilarious how the last episode(s) is some random dude going all "LOOK AT ME I GOT THE MEMBERS CARD AND HAS DARKRAI TROLOLOL" And winning. -____-

 

[Retroend]

man the last episode of dp made me want to cry. really bittersweet.

 

[UberMario]

Finally! I've been looking for this theme forever!

 

[Fuelbi]

Man, DP's now over?

Anyone mind pointing me to where I can find that episode to watch? I wanna see Ash lose again

 

[§leepy God]

♪ If they release any Japanese episode online, that would be awesome. Ash's lost was so bad, it made me want to cry. Dx †

 

[Tomo Takino]

Why did Brock never hook up with Pike Queen Lucy?

 

[PowerBomb]

Why did Brock never hook up with Pike Queen Lucy?

Because that's not how Pokemon works.

[Tomo Takino]

Maaan, we all know that's how Brock's story should have ended, with him getting a woman, not a career. He already was able to get himself a career.

At least Misty's ending was relavant to her charecter, which was basically "You are leaving the show because you lack the courage to pursue the man you want bawwwwwwwww"

 

[PowerBomb]

>man
>Ash is still 10

I should really stop speaking in 4chan-speak.

 

[UberMario]

IIRC, part of the reason he chose to be a doctor was so he could be with Nurse Joy, though it's not like I didn't see it coming, he was the "team healer" most of the time so it makes sense.

 

[Tomo Takino]

Oh was it to join Nurse Joy? If so that makes sense.

 

[LASHING_LEAF]

team rocket had white clothing because they were elite and the best but proved to mess up trying to get the pikachu so they allways look stupid but the team rocket origins explains how they are the best... i feel now they are either executives or went down a rank...

 

[Fuelbi]

Don't know to post this here or in the B/W thread, but looks like Ash is getting YET ANOTHER companion (and I mean one that stays for him during the duration of his regional travels, not some guy like Tracey because orange isles don't count) that is either a gym leader or related to a gym leader.


Can't Ash pick anyone up from the street who isn't a gym leader or isn't related to one?

 

[UltiMario]

She's the

last gym leader

Man wtfffffffffffff? Changing Team Rocket's attire was something I could stand for, but now they've gone too far changing up Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny's clothes

 

[Tomo Takino]

Except that's not Nurse Joy or Officer Jenny but their replacements.

Wasn't too psyhced about new Rocket, but its actually pretty awsome.

 

[UberMario]

Where did that gif come from? A commercial?

 

[Tomo Takino]

Yeah some commercial. Don't remember which one though (there's a lot)

 

[Fuelbi]

Guys, it's in my link


And wtf are they calling these knockoffs now?

 

[Tomo Takino]

We don't even have the American names of the pokemon yet. In due time my friend, in due time.

Besides that, I'm happy we are getting new faces, sad we still have Ash and Team Rocket, but glad that SOME of the old faces have been changed.
