i just wanna know...
did he ever won any pokemon league yet? and i mean first place
and not that bullshit when he gave his trophy to his mom.

>Professor Oak's new voice actor.

>>27174255
yeah he won the orange league.

>>27174255
Nope.

At least the show doesn't even pretend to be building up to something now.

Unless one of te changes is that Ash no longer acts like a big dumb sack of derp, it hasn't changed enough.

>Got rid of that ugly worthless Charizard of his that was never good for anything

>>27174273
But the Orange League doesn't even count....he only needed 5 badges insted of the usual 8

I liked seeing Ash get better as he went along, but sometime in the third season I noticed pikachu had the same tough time fighting simpler battles and the fact that real battles between any trainers in the show were few and far between.

>>27174273
that's the one i meant
more like phony league
...yeah

Pokemon is fucking gay now and so are you OP for still watching it.

>>27174318
Are you 14 or what?

I personaly HATEthe new character design, and in Black and White Ash acts like he's just started his journey for the first time...it's ridiculously annoying

he managed to win the Battle Frontier.

And was apparently so good that he was invited to stay

>>27174257

>Meowth's new voice actor

>>27174333

>>27174307
It's the status quo of pokemon. Since they refuse to replace Ash and Pikachu, they need some way to not alienate new viewers from watching the backlog of hundreds and hundreds of episodes. So Ash is in a constant loop of relearning shit he already knew and getting called a noob and staring at the world with constant wide eyed wonderment.

Yes.

Japanese Butch Hartman is in charge of Pokemon anime.

>>27174332

>14

No, I'm 22 and you're a fucking idiot.

>>27174228
>Oh boy a hoodie! Is our character "hip" and "with it" yet?
Fuck all of pokemon's new character designs, they all look like little pansy girls.

This show seriously needs a fucking reboot.

The Pokemon games are still huge, but no one gives a shit about the anime anymore, or goddamn Pikachu.

>>27174340

Fucking this

Pikachu can defeat a Latios and 5 days later loses to a fucking level 5 Snivy? And later it loses to the water monkey

And Trip who is a new trainer curbstomps Ash every time they battle, seriously the writing of the anime is horribly shitty

>>27174380
They quietly shushed levels away in the anime when they realized the status quo wouldn't make much sense if Pikachu was a super saiyan compared to the rest of the world.

So, context sensitive power levels.

I never understood why they insist on keeping Ash. He should have bowed out around Ruby/Sapphire's adaptation and definitely should have been replaced by Diamond/Pearl. Having him around now is just ridiculous, especially since they can't do anything to give him any character growth.

Plus the fact Pikachu should be beyond level 500 now and still gets his ass kicked on a regular basis.

So, how long until we get a generation of Pokemon with a Professor Ash?
You know it'll happen eventually.

>Ash is still 10

>>27174410
>insist on keeping Ash

Fuck that, why do they insist on keeping TEAM ROCKET?

YOU FUCKERS HAVEN'T BEEN GAME RELEVANT SINCE I WAS TEN, GO AWAY YOU ARE UNDERMINING ALL THE OTHER TEAMS THAT EXIST

>>27174411
Will never happen. Gary is the only character who was allowed to have character growth, strangely enough.

Guess Gary one-upped Ash again.

>>27174411
Professor Ash my ass. He's gonna become a mother fucking pokemon master and he's going to fucking like it!

>>27174446
GAAAAAAAREEEEEEEEH
once again is DA MAN

>>27174411

I'd hate to have a professor who apparently completely forgets everything about his chosen field at the beginning of every year.

>>27174446

>>27174471
well that could explain why he asks over and over rif you're a girl or a boy...
or what's the name of his grandchild

>>27174437

They atleast used to be somewhat threatening with a good combination of comedic fuck ups...now they're just fuck ups.

>Suddenly realize that Ash is a type of tree
You son of a bitch...

>>27174446
Too bad his parents are dead.

>>27174504

Wait, why?

>>27174530
Don't worry, I'm sure you'll feel better sometime.

Never really liked the show the games are fun

>>27174546
Because I'd rather not discuss pokemon with weaboos.

Yeah, Ash needed to go a loooong time ago. He just plain looks out of place in the new seasons.

Look at say, Digimon. Things got to be a clusterfuck, so they just started over from scratch and are still awesome.

Pokemon keeps trying at a continuity, and it just gets worse, and worse, and worse.

>>27174576
>>27174561


>Sad lonely virgin

Go fuck your'self.

>>27174583
I approve of this.

>>27174583

Did they make James sound less gay now or was it just that part?

YOU HAVE A FUCKING BOARD FOR THIS SHIT

>>27174674

>>27174674
this is a cartoon yo

i miss the old show.

who else totally bought that hat when they were kids, though? i did, first chance i fucking got.

>>27174735
I miss the first two episodes

After that, it turned to shit.

Why did Misty have to follow him?

Better question, why did they make Misty into some ugly trailer trash skank with so much sand in her vagina she might as well be her own coastline?

I don't even know. I watched a recent episode and felt a bit sickened.

The show should've just moved on to new trainers after every five seasons or so. It's ridiculous.

He owns a Charizard capable of taking on Entei ("legendary pokemon"). He never uses the guy. Ever.

He's gone through more Pokemon Leagues than I can count. And yet he still gets his ass whooped by run-of-the-mill Gym leaders.

And he's STILL just a kid? This is worse than Simpsons syndrome.

>>27174756

He broke her bike when they first met. So she followed him around 'till he got enough cash to pay her back.

>>27174674

Shut the hell up. We're drowning in MLP and general bullcrap, and you complain about THIS?

>>27174735
Dude back when this show was still decent and the card game was in it's prime, I use to go to those Toys R' Us events every weekend to do tournaments. They had goals you could make to earn gym badges.

Totally wore those fuckers on the inside of my coat just like 1st season ash. Shit was so cash.

>>27175298
Lenora isn't a normal gym leader

She's a goddess.

>>27175369
DEM HIPS

>>27174627
Digimon did end up with its own share of problems, though. But at least it tried something different.

The worst part about the Pokemon anime is that it's set in one of the most interesting and diverse fantasy worlds modern games have come up with, and if the crazy fan stuff is any indication there's all kinds of awesome stories you could tell in it. But as long as this shitty commercial is shitting out the same recycled scripts season after season, we'll never see anything interesting.

>>27174255

Shuddup beaner, that is all.

Contests ruined Pokemon.

Games are still awesome, anime is a shitty pile of shit, also Ash will never win a league that matters and never keep any of his awesome Pokémon when he goes to a new region.

>>27174454
He'll become a Pokemon Master, then lose that title one hour later when he gets his ass kicked by some three year old with a new born Magicarp

This is closer to a cartoon since Ash is going to be 10 years old until the show ends.

>>27175412

At least there's Pokemon Special.

>>27175400
Guess he was the first person to figure out how to get to Johto.

One of the best things about Pokemon is how buttfuckingly ridiculous the Pokemon are supposed to be. For example,
>Long-lived Magikarp are able to utilize their immense splashing power to leap high enough to jump mountains

Magikarp can jump over mountains.

>>27175627

i think it was either Rapidash or Magmar, there's one that burns as hot as the fucking sun.

>>27175553
>Games are still awesome
I disagree. Even on the DS, the Pokemon games still seem dated, like there's huge room for improvement. I think the only thing holding them back from creating a "next-gen" Pokemon game is the fact that the portable games are still considered the "main series". There's a whole lot more that they could do if they decided to make a real Pokemon game on a console, instead of just Stadium and Coliseum or whatever other console games they have, especially considering the kind of detailed sandbox games that we've been getting on consoles by other companies. With the advent of the WiiU, Nintendo could even give us a Pokemon game that seems truly "modern". As it stands there's just no reason that the portable games should be considered the best.

That and they've still failed to top Pokemon Snap.

I think most of you are wrong. About anime being shit now. Yeah, it's true that it's unbelievebly stupid how Pikachu is getting raped by pretty much everything, but you know what? This season pretty much implies that he will become Pokemon Master. His team consists of 9 Pokemon now. He trains all of them (maybe except Pikachu for obvious reasons) equally, You've got to ignore the exsitance of 500 past episodes and act as if he was really just beggining his journey.

When they're eating meat, are they eating pokemon? or are there also other animals in the world?

>>27175627
>>27175659

>>27175682

>>27175615
lol, I've always found it funny how they acted like they discovered completely new species of Pokemon when they were just living on the other side of some mountain that a whole bunch of OTHER people were already living.

this show and game have always been garbage i'm pretty sure the only thing that changed were VA's and they probably had so much of that shit they left so some other slump could take their part

the fandom of this show is still worse than MLP

>>27175663
I've lost more hours of my life to pokemon snap then I care to admit.
It also makes for a great drinking game if your friends are nerdy enough.

>>27175675
There are other animals, I remember when Ash first went into the Cerulean Gym there was an aquarium-esque room filled with non-pokemon fish

>>27175664
>maybe this time when I stick the fork in the power socket I'll get delicious candy instead of electrocution!

>>27174340
he DID just start his adventure.
if you listen to the first episode he is 10 years old and starting his first adventure.

the cartoon isnt meant to have some huge serious continuing plot, black/white is starting over and 'ash' is basically taking the place of the player character from the game (albeit with a different adventure)

>>27175675
Farfetch'd sounds tasty

Wait. Why are you faggots allowing this here? It already has two boards it could be on. This ain't one of them.

They should explore the world of underground pokemon street fighting, where they pit homeless bums and prostitutes against wild pokemon in a brutal death melee. That's where Misty went.

Ah, I remember the first Pokemon I caught. Fucking Kakuna. Kakuna looks badass when you're a little kid and you don't want to catch any fucking bug or little bird. Especially with the sprite, made Kakuna look like a BAMF.

Decisions like that are why I had to annihilate the Elite Four with a level 80 Charizard and the 5 dwarfs.

I could at least tolerate the new show if they kept the same formula that made it interesting. Same voice actors and writers...

But now its just miserable. Though if you watch the dubbed Japanese episodes they aren't that bad.

>>27175663
Conversely, it's pokemon's stubborn refusal TO advance that holds the appeal.

I mean, the most popular RPG series in Japan is Dragon Quest. Dragon Quest... the series that had eight games before you could even see your characters in battle, and animated monsters.

Pokemon is Nintendo's Dragon Quest.

>>27175860

>>27175412
keep in mind the lead pokemon dude has aspergers.

they like repetition

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8m_xp4r9Wc

i just hate how ash could be a great trainer if he actually thought.
example in DP victors, when paul had electrovire grab infernap with the tails ash should of called it back and sent out pikachu. also same episode when it was thunder punch vs iron tail, ash should have used quick attack to get pikachu out of attack range.

i freakin rage how ash can be such a noob. i get when he first started. but now you think he'd plan this kind of stuff.

also new rocket motto jessie should be wearing white while james wears the black clothes

>>27175659
>>27175682
This reminds me. There's some pokemon said to be from the sun. I'm able to take it and the pokemon that burns hotter then the sun down using a flamethrower from my charizard. Just how hot does my charizard get? With all these firetypes able to burn hotter then the sun wouldn't the atmosphere just combust or something?

>>27174318

>>27175369

>>27175933
the pokedex is written by non-scientists. the inaccuracies in there are due to a lack of proper scientific knowledge

I remember when catching 150 Pokemon was an honorable, challenging, and attainable goal. It would mean becoming a Pokemon Master. And I believe Ash could've done it.

Now?

Fuck it!

When did Pokemon get delishush brown booty?

I'll always be disapointed the Team Rocket ALMOST quit after a smart realization at Giovanis headquaters.
But then for the sake of Status Quo returned at the end of the episode.

>>27175973
>all those boards
>doesn't mention /a/

>>27175975
Don't be fooled

It's a Jynx

>>27175969
Yeah, I remember getting every Pokemon in Gold, I even convinced someone to trade me a mew, then hearing about Ruby and Sapphire. Never before or since have I felt the amount of rage I did when I learned you can't trade Pokemon over to the then new games.

>>27175997
I actually started out with Ruby and Saphire. I played Yellow when I was smaller but I don't think I ever got past Misty. So RnS were my first REAL pokemon.

Never before have I had so much fun in a pokemon game. I mean, holy shit. There was so much to do and I never felt forced to do it. And those pokemon are by far my favorite, every generation afterwards has been such a letdown.

I played the remakes of the first two, and really enjoyed Firered/leafgreen. But Soulsilver/heartgold were meh, and DnP were such a bore. Haven't played BnW yet.

>>27175992
Best pokemon

I am really sad that digimon couldn't into games like pokemon, the digimon anime was IN FIN ATE LY better than pokemon, even season 2.

You never hear about digimon in anything mainstream now. (yes I am a hipster now)

I stopped giving a fuck about Pokemon after Silver and Gold came out. It was a lot better when there was just 151 Pokemen.

>>27175975
Since now.

Pokemon isn't getting worse, you're growing up.

>>27175682
>>27175691

>>27176060
Nah, it's definitely getting worse.

>>27176057
Before playing:
>She's HOT.
After playing:
>She kicked my ass! She's the first gym leader in my entire time playing these games that beat me!...THAT IS SO FUCKING HOT, WHY IS THAT HOT.

>>27175975
Pokémon Black & Pokémon White.

Whatever you do, don't Google "Homura Subaru Pokemon", Team Rocket posted those images.

>>27176032
>You never hear about digimon in anything mainstream now.
That is most likely due to there being a 3 year gap in between Frontier and Savers (dubbed as Data Squad) which killed a very large part of the fanbase.

>you will never experience Digimon popularity like it was between 1999 and 2002 ever again
;_;

/vp/

>>27176100
fuckin loved me some digimon, i stopped watching after they could turn into digimon

>>27176100
Which is a great thing. Stupid kids show that was trying to steal thunder from Pokemon.

>>27176126
that is when I stopped caring myself.

DIGIMON ARE NOT ARMOR

YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A TEAM NOT A 1 MAN PRODUCTION

if like, then endgame had them melding, yes, that would be badass, but it's not what you base the series on.

>>27176094

>>27176057
Damn, I'd study her.
Rule 34 NOW!!

Anyways, why do people complain about the show being crap? I mean it's one, anime. And two, started the whole "ten year old gets something to fight people with" series that for several years television stations were overloading with in the hopes of out doing Pokemon and to please the soon to be weeaboos.

Have you seen stuff like Fighting Foodons and Dinosaur King? Beyblade? Battle Beamon? It's all the fucking same. Dinosaur King was really bad since they used almost the same voice actors as old school Pokemon.

So maybe, if it's anime, and it's not Kirby! Right Back At Ya!, it's suck?

>>27176169

>>27176169
I used to dread watching WB's afternoon lineup. Sonic isn't that bad, but it's one of the only shows they have left.

>>27176187
Those thighs.

Boner so strong.

>>27176169
>Fighting Foodon

Why must people remind me that existed? Why can't people just let me forget?

>>27175694
It's more like it's taken this long to put together a National Pokedex compiling data on everything seeing as each region has a long history of people and Pokemans

So Gary basically became a pokemon master and went on to study pokemon like Oak.
So he beat Ash at his own game and learned years worth of knowledge while Ash basically is having trouble beating low level pokemon in some new region.
Damn Gary.
Damn.

>>27176202
Nah, the WB was decent until they tried too hard to please the unreleasable weeaboos.

Pokemon was good.
Stuff like X. Showdown and Jackie Chan was even better.

Sonic X was meh. But I grew up on AoStH so that's why I dislike it.

>>27176202
You kidding? Sonic X is a travesty. Subbed or dubbed. Half the time the animation looks like this shit and ugh. Just...bad.

>>27176241
*unreasonable weeaboos

>>27176218
Because it's the poster child of shitty Japanese cartoons, and a great series to troll weeaboos with.

>>27176209
She's not very popular since she's 1) milf, and 2) black

>>27176275
God damn it. My little brother and I figured "what the hell, first episode of this show is coming on" — I forget what the time slot was and what show it was coming on before/after — "might as well watch it."

That was, what, ten years ago by now? That's the only one we watched. But the fucking opening theme is still burned into my head, and so are the dub voices. I can't even order fried rice at a Chinese food place without hearing FRIEEEEEED RICERRRR, FRIED RICER! in my head.

best Pokegirl.

>>27176244
>>27176301
It's an opinion at least I share.

It's true that 4kids gave it the typical shitty dub treatment, but it was a mediocre show at best even before the dub, is brought down by the shitty human sidekick cliché that we all learned to hate with Transformers (and G1 My Little Pony) and is based on a franchise in a death spiral that's abandoned any pretence of being anything but cashing in on nostalgia with no drop of creativity or talent left in the developers.

>>27176330
Sure.

But we're talking about a WOMAN.

>>27176342

can't hold a candle to Phoebe.

>>27176228
In the manga it was obvious. Professor Oak stays safe in Ash's hometown while inviting his mother over to talk to her son. Meanwhile, he is collecting DNA and battle data from Ash's encounters

Professor Oak is Gary's uncle. Gary is being spoon fed classified information.

At least the anime series heavily downplayed Gary's ego and backstabbing.

>>27176353
>At least the anime series heavily downplayed Gary's ego and backstabbing.

but those are the best parts, aside from him actually being good.

>>27176297
See, even though I think the show was retarded, there was a bit of charm in it. Battles actually went fast, and not for hours like Yu-gi-oh.

Also, it was just so absurd, that it was actually cool. I mean, Applegator? My apple pie could EAT PEOPLE? FUCKING AWESOME!!

But it was still generic anime, and as such, 4Kids didn't really care about it.

new game gave us Iris, the obvious daughter or Yugo and Amalia.

>>27175369
That fucking gap!!!!!
Those hips!!!
Tell me there some Rule 34 on her.

HA
what changes, there has been almost no character development since season 2

The anime is shit.

Fact

>>27176447
it's just realistic. all of the old characte grew up and discovered how childish that pokémon shit really is, so they got back to school and found real jobs. Only Ash is aspie enough to wander the world for so long and fight other autists.

I love my Eurocock.

Ash has indeed been getting better. Look up his battle with Tobias if you want to see what I mean.

I read something somewhere about Team Rocket having become a "more serious threat" in recent times

this true at all? Only change I'm aware of is they now wear black instead of white

also, Meowth's original (second, anyway) voice actor/actress died.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Are you referencing Iris or are you really that retarded?

>>27176586
I mean when Ash isn't "10 years old" anymore

What I don't get, if they have all these types of pokemon like "dog types" "cat types" and all that, where are all the animals they're based on? seems like only pokemon exist, but if that's the case, where do the classifications come from?

Sexiest Lenora image is also fetish

It is a conundrum

>>27176603
This is what I've wondered my whole life.

Misty - plain
May - boobs
Dawn - ass
Iris - loli

now we just need a teenage girl for some straight shota stuffs

>>27176654
Misty and Iris are boner-killers.
May and Dawn are god tier.

>>27176666
Misty's appeal was her short-shorts and tank top

I don't get May though, how does a 10 year old have boobs like that

>>27176666
Dawn plus May is the bonerest.

I stopped watching pokemon a long time ago, I remember Misty was easy on the eyes but also a real bitch, and May had good size but... she was kinda dumb

don't know anything about Dawn and Iris except Dawn has some kind of fashion fetish

>>27176603
>I mean when Ash isn't "10 years old" anymore
WHAT DO YOU MEAN ASH ISN'T 10 YEARS OLD ANYM

>>27176603
Maybe Pokemon are highly evolved versions of animals. And Pokemon takes place millions of years after our time. And humanity just went in a cycle of super advanced world to primitive caveman days and then back to super advanced world of computers.

This would explain how Japanese or English is still used in their world that doesn't seem to be like ours. Other Nintendo concepts like Zelda are shown to have their own languages that aren't Japanese/English. Also the reason why environmentalism is so rampant because there has to be text that implies we were bad at maintaining peace with nature.

Which would explain why the Pokemon world borders on a utopia for environmentalists. Since they understand what happens when people do treat the environment well. The animals evolved into creatures that could actually protect the planet and themselves, all independently, and that, may be the true origins of Pokemon.

>>27176701
Bovine growth hormone is a helluva drug.
