Episodic waste of time. Only good for saturday mornings.

gets boring where the nostalgia ends.
You wont make it past season 3.

>>>/vp/

I would probably nostalgia hard watching that. Enjoy it man

Unless nostalgia is involved or you're a little kid, you won't last.

The first two seasons aren't terrible. After that it gets unwatchable.

Pure nostalgia, nothing else. I'd love rewatching it with friends and laughing at how little the writers knew about the game.

How the fuck could Pickachu beat Onix with Thundershock?

>>20390873
Think of it as research. Since we're going with them to the ball.

>that feel when you buy a battery cover for your old gameboy under your bed which is missing it, then rebuy pokemon blue version and have epic nostalgia blast

Are you hoping to impress /vp/ with your pokeman knowledge at the dance?

>>20390969

It's decent. After the episode of Ash's final battle in the Indigo League is where you should give up though. seriously this is a big spoiler don't read it if you haven't seen the showthe ep where Charizard fucks him over and he loses the match it doesn't improve in quality and in fact regresses in a lot of ways. It's been running for more than ten fucking years what do you expect?

Ash sucks at training Pokemen

I've been doing this same thing on and off since last summer, at episode 53. Loving the show, so much nostalgia. Also it's brilliant because I completely failed to realise that every episode from the first 30 odd and some still now each tries to end with such a moral message at the end.

Also Gary Motherfucking Oak.

Also started noticing errors a lot more in episodes where I'm up to now, apparently it's all down to that Seizure episode and the show went on hiatus. Everything is out of order and they keep mentioning pokemon that haven't been caught yet or have already evolved and they're back unevolved and all sorts.

But did Ash ever become the pokemans master?

>>20391083
nope. he just leave them with prof oak and collects more useless pokemon like a fucking retard.

I was feeling nostalgic and decided to rematch the episodes and realised they are absolutely shit. I mean, really really bad.

The games are still great but the TV show was bad.

>>20391026

Just to be clear, are you talking about the one where he faces that guy named Richie, whose pikachu 'beat' Charizard?.

>>20391267
What an inspiring television show.
Though I suppose, it teaches you a life lesson.

>>20390913

He didn't, dumbass.

He shocked the fire extinguishing system and Onyx got soaked.

God, don't you know anything?

>the episode where brock leaves the group
>the episode where misty leaves the group
All my babby tears.

stream it bro

>YOU REMEMBER

>>20391352
They're on DVD, was watching on the 360 with my bigger TV than on my laptop.

Guys, if /vp/ offers you a scarf, make sure to refuse it and tell them it's too small for your manly neck.

>>20391357
Remember when you wanted to trade away Butterfree Ash?

>>20391357
That episode annoyed me as a kid and still annoys me now, I hated that pink butterfree, thought it was too good for Ash's one. What a bitch.

>>20391404
You're ranking them from worst to best, right, faggot?

>>20391406

For sure. Ain't no butterfree bitch good enough for his.

>DAT BATTLE
>DAT SEISMIC TOSS

>>20391309
Yes. and when he goes to shake Ritchie's hand it shows that he is a worthwhile competitor and trainer, but the show never followed up on that in any meaningful way.

>>20391487
Richie is Pokémon Blue/Red isn't he?

OK, GUYS WE GOTTA RAP SOME POKEMON.
You just do the singing. I'll take care of the hard part.
LET'S GET IT ON!

>YFW you remember the entire fucking thing.

Eventually Ashs dyke voice will drive you mad

I can't stand the show anymore just because they don't evolve many of the pokemon (I'd be ok with Pikachu not evolving but come on, Ash should have the starting 3 fully evolved and powerful as all fuck at this point). That and the fact that Ash SUCKS at training and battling. I'd rather watch a show about Gary Motherfucking Oak. DAT SWAG

>>20391487

Dammit. I' had that episode recorded years ago on a VCR along with a random assortment of others, and Ive always enjoyed that particular episode and was eager to see how much it would contribut to Ash's maturity regarding future battles. Such a shame it was the peak.

Thanks for the heads up

>>20391506
Ash is supposedly Red's counterpart. Which is ridiculous in contest with the anime. Blue is female, although the Blue/Green counterparts get mixed up so depending on who you ask, Gary is either Blue or Green.

>>20391613
I know, it's just such wasted potential but what can you do.

>mfw I have several VHS tapes filled with Pokemon episodes
>including the Pokemon Christmas special
>plus all three movies

ill never forget the first episode where gary leaves to start his journey at 10 years old in a red convertible and a backseat full of women

>>20391728
>all three movies
Oh no you don't.

THEY'LL BE WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD SOMEDAY

>>20391755
i remember opening a boosterpack on christmas and getting a charizard, best fucking day of my life.

Watching the Kanto stuff now, and it is GLORIOUS. I personally think the older stuff still holds up well, but lets see how I feel when they enter Johto.

>>20391614
Red is Ash, or the main guy of the first Gen. Blue is Gary, or the rival of the second Gen.
Green was a female character who was never in the games but was meant to have a character in the anime although never showed up, she's still in the opening cutscene though, the girl dressed in green that Pikachu runs through the legs of.

>>20391792
My friend had one of those holographic Charizards. Every time he would bring it to Boy Scouts, I would be in awe.

The rarest card I ever got was a holographic Blastoise.

1) Blaine
2) Surge
3) Brock
4) Misty
5) Erika
6) Koga
7) Team rocket

9000!) Sabrina

That's one thing that drove me up the fucking wall as a kid and still to this day. They never evolved hardly any fucking pokemon. God damn Ash is a terrible fucking trainer.

>>20391883

What about when Krabby evolved in it's first fight?

I planned to do this, then I found out there are over 600 episodes or something like that. Made it through about 10 before it got unwatchable (for me, at least).

Protip: Ash never wins any tournaments.

>>20391883
Disagree entirely, anyone who uses Muk and Kingler is AWESOME

>>20391900

What about the orange league?

>>20391324
It was the water valves that killed him lol

>>20391931
>>20391324

Why did Brock have a sprinkler system in his gym that was made entirely of rock?

>>20391921
Orange league is bush league, it's not even a real league.

>>20391958
>Sprinkler

>>20391883
On the game, if you chose not to evolve the Pokemon, they learn the new moves at lower levels.

Did the game or the TV series come out first?

the episode where pikachu wants to stay with the other pikachus... ;_;

>>20391979

Can a Squirtle actually learn Hydro pump?

How many seasons are there? How many leagues? Does he get to win anything at all?

I remember the first one and his loss, than the Orange League, that he won, and then I stopped in the middle of Johto.

Posting /tv/ - /vp/ material

>>20392007
I think there were some moves that could only be learnt after certain stages of evolution, but I remember having a Pokemon magazine that showed all the creatures and the levels at which they learn new skills. There was definitely advantages to postponing evolution though

They are preety lame

>>20392046
Lizzy Caplan needs to be added

>>20391899
>>20391919
Ok so he uses a Kingler. How many years has he keep the same fucking pokemon and them not evolve? Or just throw pokemon way more fitting for battle aside to Prof. Oaks lab? Exactly

>>20391979
I would assume the Manga or TV did. I think

that feel when the FIRST episode of pokemon they showed in America was just a preview for the series. It was the episode on the cruise ship where James buys a magikarp and Ash reaches for his pokeball with Butterfree forgetting that he released him.

I even remember as a kid in 1st grade getting the Nitendo power magazine talking about pokemon before the game came out
