Why are there two pokemon threads on the first page when /vp/ exists?

Poke'mon is still on television?
How many episodes are there now?

Ash and Conway are two different people, Ash is a robot made by team rocket to train pikachu and investigate the gym leaders

>>65483006
Pikachu was hax'd to level 1?
Thats hilarious.

Why is there not a Pokemon special adaptation?

>>65483051
because faggots don't know how to sage.

Where is the beach OVA?

I won't watch it without a beach OVA.

>>65483051
They have their own board actually.

>>65483006
Max aged 5 years and Ash has stayed the same?
How is that even possible?

>This pic again.
Not the same character.

Also there's thread going on already >>65476113

Older Misty? Not sure if want...

misty aged?
not sure which pics are fanart on google, so could someone post a pic?

>>65483051
Because /vp/ serves as a dwelling for furfags and autistic gamers, and the anime/manga are completely relevant to this board.

Ash is an immortal, that can be the only explanation

>>65483129

Isn't it obvious?

>>65483237
Perhaps hes talking about this?

>>65483296

>>65483362
What is going on here? Can anyone confirm if this is true or not. I'm too skeptical to believe it, but I kind of want to.

>>65483584
The series was supposed to end after gen 1, Ash was to marry misty.
But then the franchise got Gen 2, the cards and games and anime continued to "print money" so they scrapped the original movie and reworked a bunch of it so it was a "finale".

It was apparently leaked, but its Raw Japanese with no English sub.

>>65483975
I meant to say "wasn't a finale"

>>65483975
False, Gen II was planned at the same time as Gen I.

>>65484061
I think you linked the wrong thing.

>>65483584
The trailer is real. The stuff it shows is essentially just a music video semi-related to the movie (it has some movie scenes and that blue-haired chick is a minor movie character), and does in no way represent any actual content ever intended to be in the movie.

>>65483975
Stop making shit up. Nothing was ever "leaked", and the movie was never significantly "reworked" after the plot had been settled on.

>>65484255
I own a copy of the leaked film though.

>>65484143
>n an interview with Shigeki Morimoto, he confirmed that there were originally going to be 190 Pokémon in Generation I.[1] This means that Missingno. are formatted Pokémon.

If you scroll up the page you'll see that the Missingno and other glitch pokemon are actually Gen II pokemon. Gen II was planned and pretty much created the same time as Gen I. Hence why Ho-oh is seen in the first episode, and how Togepi appears early on as well.

>>65484337
It's ok guys! My dad works for pokemon! It's legit!

>>65484367
>n an interview with Shigeki Morimoto, he confirmed that there were originally going to be 190 Pokémon in Generation I.[1] This means that Missingno. are formatted Pokémon.

Wow, Bulbapedia sure like pretending their uneducated speculations are fact.

creators of the show said ash was 16 now, and as far as his "Pikachu being zapped back to level 1" thats just a dumbass assumption

>>65484367
No. Missingno and other "glitch" pokemon are the result of shoddy programming that doesn't check if something exists before loading it into battle. The put in exactly the amount of pokemon that they intended and the blanks (going up to 255, as would be expected) are just garbage.

>>65484401
Not that poster, but that information, not the movie (I think some clips exist), is on Serebii.net. Somewhere. I ain't fuckin finding it for you, though.

>>65484515
I've seen the clips. It's just a scrapped idea just like the GS ball.

>>65484515

Here you go fuckers, have fun having your mind blown.

>>65484649
>>65483584
>>65483362

The great mystery of our generation. It will never be solved.

>>65484946
First two generations with their glitches, bugs and unfinished content are pretty interesting to speculate.

>>65484649
Looks cute, but I don't get it, did Misty become lesbian? Who is that other woman?

>>65485165
It'd be cool to have one game where the final legendary pokemon is Missingno.

>>65485197

No one knows except for those who crafted it.

>>65485254
People would hate it.
>"Nice try Gamefreak, no ideas for new monsters so you just copied an old, failed, but famous "pokemon" to get people interested. You ruined Missngno."

>>65484649
It was posted earlier, and it was never intended to be an accurate representation of anything that would be in the movie. The only people having their "mind blown" are people reading too much unintended bullshit into it.

>>65485197
The other woman is Voyager, that blue-haired chick who had like 10 lines in the early parts of the movie and did nothing of note. She's mostly important because she was voiced by the woman who sung the movie ending theme and the song used in this trailer.

>>65485540
Okay, thank you. Kinda weird she's hanging out with Misty and her daughter/sister, but oh well we'll never know.

>>65485628
I assume she's mostly in the trailer because she's voiced by a bigshot guest voice actress, and since this is the first trailer, nothing was really known about the movie yet - presumably this character and her famous voice were one of the first aspects advertised.

>>65485746
Hell, for all we know, the little girl is meant to be the little girl from the song they're playing - the animation mostly goes along with it.
Makes far more sense than any fandom theories about "Ash and Misty grew up and got married at the end of the movie but evil Nintendo changed it" that have no root in reality.

>>65483006
>his Pikachu was zapped by Zekrom back to level 1
Source?
This can't be possible, it just can't.
And Ash turned 11 in the 3rd movie, fuck you nintendo

>>65485917
It was just speculation because after he got zapped he lost to a Lv 5 starter.

>>65484649
>no adult Ash as gym leader, looking like a proper Red

>>65485917
Watch the first episode of Best Wishes.
That is the source

There are no levels in pokemon anime, idiots!

>>65483296
Fuck how does pokemon always manage to screw it up?

>>65485917
Ash turned 11 during season 1.
Misty says something to the effect of "it's been one whole year since we left, huh?" when they go back to either Cerulean or Viridian City right before the Indigo League.

Superior childhood thread?

>>65486093
Right and then in the first episode of best wishes the narrator says something along the lines of "Meet Ash he's a 10 year old pokemon trainer hoping to become a pokemon master"

>>65486053
You don't say.

>>65486093
There's also that Pikachu short where they throw a party to celebrate the one year anniversary of when Ash met pikachu. But they screwed themselves over by saying he's still 10 in BW.

>>65486093
He celebrated his actual birthday and the day he met pikachu in the pikachu and pichu movie short.

>>65486147
Misty was my first girlfriendu

And I know for a goddamn fact I'm not the only one.

>>65483006
Older kid is Conway not Max..

I really think they should just cut Ash's journey off after this run and start the next season with all new characters with characters from previous seasons aged slightly, making cameo appearances and whatnot. I understand that Pokemon is just a money printer, but they should at least have the dignity to put Ash down. I mean, how many years has this shit been going on and he's still 10?

>>65486164
>>65486184
>>65486093
>>65485917
So wait.
Ash is Endless Eight?

>>65486184
>>65486164
>>65486093

Best explanation would be that poke'Earth rotates around the earth faster than ours does.
So multiple years can happen within an age of a human being?

>>65486254
No, he's actually a Lich.

>>65486250
At the very least bring Jimmy back, or more Professor Gary adventures.

>>65486254
More like Endless Ten.
While I do understand why they made him 10 in best wishes..

>>65486279
That's a real bullshit explanation though. I'd rather them have them age him 10 years in the course of an episode than that shit.

We all know Ash is in a coma.
That's why everyone else is aging.
But he isn't.

Pokémon needs a new MC.

Someone who is so naturally skilled at being a trainer that he wrecks everybody's shit without even trying, but he couldn't care less about it, all he does is fuck around every town he happens to walk in to, talks with everyone he either finds interesting, or people who look great to hang out with.

In the end he has shitloads of pokemon that either didn't pull off a big fight due to his character, or that he persuaded and messed around with big time that they started to follow him eventually, because he's so GAR and easy going that everyone who happens to get in touch with him can't get enough of him, that or people outright hate him.

The rival is a real experienced try-hard trainer who gets shit done the hard way, and happens to beat him quite often, but in the end he just realizes that the MC is just not trying, always messing around with his pokémon, or climbing trees.

The Pokeprofessor is just some old man who constantly keeps hinting about how much potential the MC had as a kid, defeating skilled trainers who happened to cross his backyard, after they saw him fall of a tree.

The Team Rocket crew are just a bunch of adolescents who trick the naive MC into helping them with crimes, which always ends up failing due to the MC accidentally messing it up afterwards.

>>65486053
I remember them talking about Pikachu being level 25 and that Ash still didn't evolve it into Raichu.

>>65486339

>>65486339
>>65486364
well that was fast

>>65486250
The series is older than him already, shit is hilarious. And I hope they would bring back Team Rocket in the games, with Giovanii making a grand come back. mfw Mewthree

>>65486093
Dub line. No such thing was originally stated.

>>65486184
Neither version specifically said anything about how log it had been, just that "this is the day we first met", and the word used in the original, "kinen", doesn't necessarily mean a certain amount of years must've passed. It could've just as well have been a 6-months "anniversary" or something. (also, it was a Pikachu short of questionable canonicity the writers probably forgot about anyway)

>>65483006
Isn't that Conway?

Also, the only good B&W episode I watched is that Kamen Rider episode

>>65486319
I didn't say I liked it....
It was just the only thing I could come up with.

I supposed they could go the "You met Mew, Celebie and Jirachi. People who have been close proximity to those legendaries get infused with eternal youth"

You guys are all idiots. Humans are actually Pokemon as well. Ash is just like Pikachu - he doesn't want to evolve. Just wait until Professor Oak gives him a puberty stone, you'll all see.

>>65486343
Sounds like shit. We have enough good main characters in Pokemon Special, just use them.

>>65486406
Episode 9 was about two months after he got Pikachu, so either he's trying to speed run all of the other regions, or time has stopped.

>>65486502
It all fucking makes sense now

>>65486502

>>65486502
>yfw pikachu has matured more than Ash has.

>>65486347
Don't any of you faggots remember the Pokemon trainer school from season one? Misty got her Starmie's ass beat by a Graveler before the school's top bitch explained how much higher a level it was compared to her shitty Pokemon. There ARE RPG elements to it. That entire episode is a testament to that.

>>65486481
He has been killed and revived in the 1st movie if I remember correctly. Just enough to fuck up his bodily functions.

But of course movies =/= anime series

>>65486512
The anime has this odd tendency to acknowledge that "months" have passed, but not years, yeah.

So hell, who knows. If you want to be picky I guess you could argue that the Pokemon earth has like 50 months in a year or whatnot (or just be logical and say it's just the kind of cartoon where people don't age).

>>65486639

I miss the old Pikachu design ;_;

when is misty coming back?

>>65486653
see this
>>65486279

>>65486646
Season one, yes, when they weren't sure how to use game mechanics in the anime properly. They included levels and whatnot just to scrap it later because it didn't feel natural in anime format. Same case with manga.

>>65486700
That was just baby fat, hes grown up and trimmed down.

>>65486719
Never

>>65486700
Yeah, he was far better when he was fat and a dick

>>65486653
But people DO age in pokemon.
Just not Ash.

>>65486646
That was from one of those early episodes where real world animals were still roaming around, right?

>>65485254

I've thought this for a while. It's a shame they just refuse to acknowledge all off the cool gen 1 bugs.

And slightly creepy, now I think about it.

>You know how Gamefreak has a weird way of counting National Dex numbers? They refuse to count a couple of them, making the amount of Pokemon inconsistent. The reason for this is a lost Pokemon from generation 1.

>>65486791
>and a dick
In like, what, 2-3 first episodes? And then BFF.

>>65486502
Seriously? Is that your theory?

>>65486646
That's the episode I was mentioning, but didn't want to state it just in case I was wrong. I went and looked around, and she straight up says "A trainer with two months of experience, should have at least one level 25 Pokemon"

>>65486802
Yeah, that's why Brock's siblings look the same age now as they did in episode fucking FIVE and why Max is still not old enough to be a trainer, right?

Oh wait.

>yfw the episode where Ash tried to ditch pikachu was full of "Baby Pikachus" and not pichus

>>65486890
They were happy enough to evolve?

>>65486963
Then explain how pikachu in episode 1 had evolved.
Fucker was pissed all the damn time, doubt he would have evolved due to happiness.

Nintendo will never explore Pikachus "Pichu origins"

>>65487016
He was happy and then catched into pokeball. He hates pokeballs.
Nah, not serious, Pichu was just added later as "baby pokemon", that's all. Not in the mood to discuss it even ironically.

This shit is beyond repair.

>Ho-oh in episode 1
>Fuck up pikachu's origin

Way to go nintendo

>>65486780

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8dWX5eaYQw&feature=related

can someone find the english version of this scene? ive been ooking all over.

>>65487312
Ash: So boring...nothing's biting.

Dawn: I've never seen a lure like that.

Ash: This? Cool, right? Misty gave it to me a long time ago.

Dawn: Who's Misty?

Brock: She's a very dear friend of ours who is now the Cerulean gym leader.

Dawn: Wow...Ash, let me try it!

Ash: ABSOLUTELY NOT!!

>>65486890
No lightball.

>yfw Pokemon breed using modern technology.

DUDE FUCK YOU. AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS YOU DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON ?

POKEMON IS IN REALITY A DYSTOPIA WHERE A MAN HAS BEEN TRAPPED IN THE BODY OF A FOREVER 10 YEARS OLD.

THUS HE WILL BE FORCED TO REPEAT THE SAME YEAR AGIAN AND AGAIN UNTIL HE GETS DRIVEN BY MADNESS.

JUST LIKE PROMETHEUS HE IS LITERALLY BEING EATEN AWAY BY POKEMON AND EACH YEAR PUT BACK RIGHT AT THE BEGINNNING.

Im CRYING NOW

;_;

>>65487312
>still pokeshipping while 26

>what am I doing

>>65487438
Ash will escape the loop once he wins the Pokemon League.

I wish the Sinnoh league wasn't rushed. We could have been to Mt. Battle and have a little Kanto reunion episode, but no Black and White had to rush the writers. Had they not rushed, we could have the Plasma episodes if Sinnoh bumped for more 18 episodes. 34 episodes in one season isn't enough. The league should have lasted two episodes more, Mt. Battle should have featured the Battle Frontier and suddenly, Black and White comes around the corner screwing the anime. In fact, the anime was screwed since 2010. It's like the death of Takeshi Shudo has brought a curse to the anime.

so what the fuck is up with some random faggot coming and beating ash in the pokemon tourney at the end of every season? we never see these people again yet they come out of nowhere and win the title.

in the series with dawn in it some fag with all elite pokemon who had never been mentioned before swept the whole thing like it was nothing.

>>65487519
let me add to yours anon

>>65487438
Creepypasta time? There is no good creepypasta involving 3rd generation and further.

>>65487534
Dude always take One year to get to the league son. It will never ends. Truly a divine punishment.

;_;

>>65487560

>>65487557

Also, BW083 was announced not too long ago and it's been nearly three years since the start of the show began. And Trip is a joke. Ash was better off without a rival this Black and White.

>>65487438
OMG DATS SO SAD X'D
LUV PKM 5EVAR! [DATS ONE MORE DEN 4EVAR]

>>65487438
>>65487799

Ironic shitposting is still shitposting. You piece of shitposting shit.

Ash has that disease that makes him not age in any physical way.

>>65487558
All of those people are exactly like Ash, trapped in their bodies fighting from continent to continent trying to win a league so they can escape the hell of immortality. Ash just doesn't have the same luck as them.

according to the show all seasons have happened in under a year.

>>65487892
Ash has a disease where the telomerase in his body never degrades, thus granting him eternal youth.

>>65487869
Dude, it's one step further than that. It's openly shitposting without the excuse of ironic shitposting. And it's fun.

>>65487939
But that literally makes no sense.

>>65487939
the Japanese or American?

So, would you all be excited if misty showed up in the new episodes and had a boyfriend?

>>65488025
You were also a trainer back when you were ten years ol-

Wait a minuet...

>>65487939
Under a lightyear maybe.

>>65487894
Oh god, I can see it now. A series in which a group of immortals fight each other for the right to die, using the tools that have been given to them (in this case, their Pokemon). Not as a sacrifice, not to reach a higher purpose, but to free themselves of their own mental anguish. GLORIOUS.

>>65488034
What would be a real mind fuck is if she was 25 and her BF was a 25 year old Ash.

>>65488034
if he's faceless

Oh yeah, Tracey was meant to make an appearance in the show, well via the Pokemon Telephone machine, but then TR cut off the electricity in Nimbasa. There's a rumor that a long time old friend will appear in the show.

>>65487939
So he does speedrun?

>>65488034
Yes because we all know it'll be Ash.

>>65488049
LY is not a measure of time

Just think, when it's April 1, 2017, Ash Ketchum should be 30 by now.

Where is teenage May?

>>65488063
It would be like Highlander except even mortals participate and the reward is the sweet embrace of death.

>>65488076
That'd be pretty awesome actually. The timeline is fucked anyways so what would it actually hurt?

>>65488034
Make it so she is dating Gary.

>>65488174
Then Ash cums all over her stuff in an awkward act of revenge?

>>65488227
All over her Pokemon.

>>65488174
By posting OMK you are implying at the end Ash is going to end up with Jesse.

I am totally fine with this.

>>65488153
The Ash we'd been following post misty was a Ditto this whole time.

>>65488227
>>65488257
And the side-character previous antagonistic girl would be...Jessie?

>>65488323
Yup. Good end.

What the fuck happened to the GS ball?

Now that I remembered, it bugs me that I never found out. ALL THOSE EPISODES WAITING FOR ITS SECRETS

>>65488174
>>65488227
>>65488323
>>65488268
>>65488356
Onani Master Ketchum

>>65488388
More like Onani Trainer Ketchum since he will never be a master.

>>65488388
It's not Pokemon master, but after 25 years of chasing his dream he might as well settle for Onani Master.

>>65488388

>>65488377
It's a PEZ dispenser.

SURPRISE!

>>65488377
It was originally intended that Celebi would be contained within it, but then they decided to scrap the idea when they started developing the 4th movie. They were just hoping that everyone would eventually forget about it.

>>65488377
Just watch. It'll contain the last legendary pokemon thought to have been lost to ancient times. Something like Exodia.

Of course it won't be the "last" and there'll be an even more powerful atlantic god pokemon.

>>65488049
Don't you have a gym that you should be in?

>>65488153
>"Have you fullfiled my dream already, Ash?"
>"Or should I say Redtwo?"
>And then Ash was Missingno.

>>65488377
>In an interview with Masamitsu Hidaka in 2008, it was explained that the GS Ball was originally going to contain a Celebi that was to be the star of a large arc of the Johto saga. However, it was decided that Celebi would be the star of the fourth movie, so the story arc was viewed as redundant and shelved. The ball was left with Kurt with the hopes that viewers would eventually forget about it.

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/GS_Ball

>>65488572
Or it could just be a fucked up mind-split like what Sabrina had going.

>>65488590
Really would have never guessed.
>>65488444

So, what is the official stance on Ash's age?

And seriously, why the fuck hasn't he aged? Is it because they want the viewer to feel attached to him or something?

>Mfw I still watch Pokemon

>>65488752
He's either a ditto or humans are actually Pokemon and he just hasn't evolved.

>>65488752
As far as I am aware the official stance is nothing at all, now shut the fuck up and enjoy this new pokething we're throwing at you.

>>65488752
In the first episode of Pokemon best wishes (the black and white generation) the narrator opens up the episode with "This is Ash a 10 year old pokemon training attempting to become a pokemon master"

So canon age of ash is 10

>>65487401
>mfw

Has Brock aged?

It even looks like Gary got a bit older...

My uncle went to Japan for business in 1999 and came back with a bunch of really fucking rare (and useless) Japanese vending machine Pokemon cards and a just released Japanese copy of Myutsuu no Gyakushuu, which for normal people was called Pokemon: The First Movie. I was white, lower middle class average 9 year old who of course didn't know Japanese. Didn't stop me.

Pic related. Mf watching this every day for the next couple months until the movie came out thinking I would learn Japanese by watching over and over again

>>65488846
That seriously has to be a miswrite (if in the original) or the dub writers being stupid.

>>65488857
Wait, wasn't Gary driving a car with a bunch of bitches in it in the first season?

>>65488857
Yeah, but Gary has fucked bitches.

In pokemon you only age after 10 if you have sex.

>>65488921
>implying Gary gives a fuck about legal driving age

>>65488921
If you're living on your own at 10, I don't think they'd have a very high driving age.

>>65488857
>Gary drives a fucking car
>Gary cannot be 10

>>65488921
>>65488957
>>65488998
>>65488975

See file name

>>65488921

My guess is it was automated.

>>65488921
Ash's mom threw him out of the house at age ten. I don't think she'd give a fuck if he got in a car and started running over pokemon.

>>65489089

>>65489053
Damn, Gary was fucking all them hoes.


Gary actually matured a bit. You could tell he had aged at least mentally later in the series.

Ash is stil the same try-hard kid.

>>65489130
Ohboyherewego.jpg

My favorite mindfuck

>>65489177
Ash has a learning disability

>>65489177
Learning to be a professor, fucking his Eevee and not afraid of anything.

>>65488081
That "rumor" only exists because some dumb fuck tossed a Japanese 2ch post into google translate and got some retardedly mistranslated bullshit out of it.
It actually said that Jun Fukuyama would be guesting on the show (which he did, last week in fact).

>>65489177
>Gary is now a doctor
>Ash is still fucking 10 and losing to infants

Some facts here:

you know what I want? a pokemon special anime. shit is so cash

>>65489377

>>65488975

They surely must live in an enlightened, post scarcity society, what with god-like technology, such as teleportation.

>>65489130
I always liked the idea of Pokemon being some kind of post apocalyptic world, even if the idea sounds retarded.

>>65489377
>It's a Clefairy
Holy fuck

>>65489482
Someday.

>>65489377
I don't get the "Golduck - Psyduck" thing

>>65489130
>>65489274
>>65489377
Anymore of these?

I'm actually annoyed that Ash has too many Pokemon this season, while the other character have half a team at best.

>>65489884
Psyduck is yellow (gold) and Golduck has better psychic powers.

>>65489960
We haven't seen that fucking frog of his in like 30 episodes now.
Rage.

>>65490000
Oh, I didn't notice the names were the other way around, because I'm used to the German names.

>>65489274

>implying it's not Mew morphing into a Ditto and pretending to be retarded

>>65490193
Indeed, sorry guys.
Have a delicious gym leader.

>>65489959
this is my last one but I think most of them (if not all) are repeats of the huge one.

Mew in Pokemon Green looked creepy as fuck

I only taunt this show now.
Yes the games are still enjoyable but pokemon will never stop.

>>65490319
Something I never understood.

US changed Green to Blue.
But then when the remakes came out they kept it "leaf green".
would it have been so hard to make it "Tsunami blue" or something?

>>65490418
>Tsunami blue
I chuckled.

>>65490455
he said "or something"

"hydro blue" could work too

>>65490418

They didn't "change" Green to Blue.

When Gamefreaks released the fixed, rif of bugs Pokemon version, they named them Red and Blue.

We never got Green because it waspart of the early, bugged gen.

>>65490418
I never understood why they did it in the first place. Blue was just a copy of Red with some of the available Pokemon changed, while Green had completely different sprites for all the Pokemon.

I heard Green had even more bugs though

>>65490530
Okay forgive me for being misinformed.
I still think it would have been better to have the remake named blue, since we had blue and not green.

here are the green sprites.

>>65490610
I think I will be seeing Wigglytuff in my nightmares tonight.

>>65490610
>dat pentagram on alakazam's head.

>>65490541

They probably did that out of convenience. I guess they just scrapped the alternative sprites, and focused their artists on the new sprites for Yellow.

And yes, Green was even worse then Red, speaking of bugs. It's why we got Blue, and not Green.

>>65490610
>Electabuzz sprite
Wait there was a way to get in First Gen?

>>65490661

>>65490691
Of course, power plant

>>65490663
Looks like it has six points, not five.
Fucking jews in my pokemens

>>65490610

That Primeape face reminded me of the only good thing that ever came out of those "Pokemon fusion" threads.

Butterape.

>>65490691

Yeah, it's from first gen. Electabuzz was Red only, and Magmar was Blue only, along with a few others I can't be bothered to name.

>>65490709
>>65490781
Well fuck, my friends and I only had Blue and Yellow so I didn't even know it existed until 2nd Gen was out.

>>65489377
Some of those are stupid as fuck.

>>65490610
>Aerodactyl skeleton
Was this in the museum or something?

>>65490747
You're forgetting "Farter"
Farfetched Haunter

>>65490610
Look at that Niggaplume, bet it gets all the bitches.

>>65490864
Oh anon, it does exist, you werent trolling

Just read it up, our Red and Blue versions are based on the third Pokemon game that came out in Japan in 1996, for a few selected subscribers of CoroCoro. Our editions use the script and sprites of Pokemon Blue (jp), while distribution of version based Pokemon like >>65490691 was taken from Red and Green (jp). Except for a few selected Pokemons and their evolutions (Ekans, Vulpix, Mankey, Bellsprout, Electabuzz and Magmar) it was possible to catch them all in the Japanese Blue, so Blue is basically to Japan the thrird Pokemon version of it's generation, much like Crystal was to Gold and Silver and so on. Yellow was just a special edition for the anime.

>Implying the Games are worth playing after Crystal
>Implying Nostalgia Goggles

Not only is Ash a faggot for releasing, and forgetting about some of his best Pokemon HE LEFT BEHIND HIS HAT! HE SENT IN A MILLION POSTCARDS FOR IT FOR WHAT? TO ABANDON IT AFTER 3 SEASONS FUCK YOU ASH!

Anyone else here has just been mindlessly preordering both versions of each gen ever since Gold/Silver. I know I am.

New gen coming out in October, by the way. Last one I can enjoy before being forced into buying a 3DS.

since we're on mind fucks

>slowpoke walks on all fours
>slowbro is balanced up on his hind legs because of the weight of shellder.

Wouldn't that mean
>slowking is on all fours and drags his head behind himself because of the weight of shellder.

>>65490610
Look at Koffing

So did the show or the game fuck up?

>>65491091
>new gen

No, black 2 and white 2 aren't a new generation. They're this generations pokemon Grey.

>>65491046

>Yellow was just a special edition for the anime.

The only thing I have against Yellow is that it marked the beginning of Team Rocket turning into goofballs/villains of the week, instead of them being a real organization like they were in Red/Blue.

Otherwise, Yellow was fucking glorious. Completely different starter, you get all of the previous starters at one point or another, brand new sprites completely rid of all that QUALITY, the universe being more interactive and live, etc.

>>65491091
Started with Yellow.
Played shitty machine-translated Gold ROM on the PC
Bought Gold when it was released, later crystal.
Skipped R/S because I had no GBA.
Got Emerald and Diamond when I bought a NDS.
Cba with FR/LG.
Still have to kick Red's ass in HG, but cba to train.
Didn't buy B/W.
Considering BW2 only for that adorable FeMC.

>>65491150

Well, they mostly keep the same Pokemons, aside from a few new ones, and some new sprites too, but the story is completely different, so it 'can' be called a new gen.

Some guy traded me his probably cheated and duped Celebi (lvl 35) back in the days and thus made me the happiest boy in town. It's still my favorite Pokemon up till today, and I already wanted to know everything about it before the German name was even revealed, back then I just called it Selebi from what I read.
Damn, it's such a nice Pokemon.

>>65491352
Some guy tried to give me a Celebi through gameshark.
Erased my savegame instead.
The asshole.
Started over and got an event Mew and Celebi through trading.
Fucking GBC erased savegame years later.
Glad I got them back in HG

Be honest, guys.
Back when you first played any Generation, did you train your Pokemon equally or did you just smash everything with your starter?

>>65491552
My Blastoise and I raped everybody and everything known to man.

>>65491115
The game. Look at the original sprite from the Japanese Red/Green posted above, the Pokemon in the show looks like that. The Japanese Blue redesigned it for god knows what reason, and the English games took its sprites from there.

>>65491552
I kept my starter slightly ahead of all the rest usually, not more than 10 levels though. I thought it would just be too easy to mow things down until I would eventually hit a wall (like the Elite Four in R/B/Y) that I couldn't overcome with just one 'roided Pokemon.

>>65491552
I ditched everything as soon as a I got an Eevee and solo'd as much as I could with it. Playing favorites and not giving a single fuck.

>>65491552
>mfw I abandoned my starter as soon as I got better looking Pokemon with awesome names

>>65491552
Equally, still do.

I used to love the shit out of my Silver version.
Before I got it, I had bought a Red version used, but it was already completed.
You could tell the previous owner hacked it one way or another.
There were about 6 level 5 mews, a level 4 Gengar, and 3 overpowered lv 100 mewtwos.
I took the opportunity and moved these all to my Silver version, and ended up smashing the elite four.

I even had my first pokemon that I levelled up to 100 myself, a Scizor.

However I tried catching Ho-oh and did the usual routine of saving beforehand and resetting if I didn't get him.
No matter what I did I just couldn't get him, and ended up having to reset.
"New Game" and "Continue" are too close to each other.
I erased the game accidentally. Felt fucking terrible.

>>65491552
Charizard only. Oh, you are a water type? FUCKING FIREBLAST ANYWAY

>>65491174
>the beginning of Team Rocket turning into goofballs/villains of the week

Yellow was released at the end of the Kanto arc of the anime, you retarded faggot.

>>65491749
I'm still scared shitless about pressing the wrong button.

>>65491552

I thought being only me and my Charizard was the most awesome thing ever.

Then Pokemon League happened.

I learned from my lessons, and brought an Alakazam to level 100 with me on my second playthrough to the Pokemon League.

To this day, I still don't remember WHY an Alakazam.

Starting the following Gen, I always made up a team of 6, and it's so fucking great playing like that, because of both the variety and the challenge.

>>65491552
Equally, though I don't think I had a full team of 6 trained Pokemon. I know I had a Venusaur, a Kadabra and a Pidgeot, at least. I believe a Gyarados too.

>>65491795
They have a fail-safe option that prevents you from saving over an old file unintentionally now. Some button combination at the Start screen. Nothing to worry about these days unless you let other people play your games.

Ash is 28

>>65491836
Oh, and fucking Snorlax, he was boss. I know I used the shit out of him. Don't think I had a 6th mainstay... maybe Zapdos.
