Think back for to the 90s when Pokémon first started airing in the states, remember how epic the opening was, with one shot featuring all three starters fully evolved the camera going between some girls legs that you thought Ash would eventually run into, remember how you though that eventually Ash was going to own at least those three in there fully evolved states?FUCKING GAMESTOP
You now realize that Ash has yet to own an evolved Water Starter
At least he owned a Lapres at one point, and Snorlax.
>>56794352
I never understood why he hated evolutions so much. What a queer. After Pikachu learned Agility & Thunder, what else would he have learned? Everything past that point was just TM skills. He just would've been stronger than he was, look better, and have a better voice. He was already kinda hax as-is, just give him a Thunderstone.
ash is the worst trainer ever.
I don't know why Ash wouldn't evolve a Pokémon, but I do know the reason why they didn't evolve any of the main cast was because the writer thought cute pokemon would be a better selling point then fuck awesome battles.
>>56794440Yup. Ash has Fire - Charizard, Cyndaquil, and InfernapeGrass - Bulbasaur, Bayleef, Sceptile, and TorterraWater - Squirtle, Totodile
>>56794649No wonder all the non-Pokemon players view us as fags.And he said he didn't want Piplup evolving on the show because he thought Prinplup and Empoleon "were ugly"Fuck that queer, Pokemon could've been on par with FotNS and DBZ by now.
>>56795014EMPOLEON WEARS A TUX AND CROWN. FUCK YOU, ASH
>>56795014If Pokemon looked like this, I'd probably have watched all 600 episodes.
Now that i really think about itAsh is just a good casual trainer, he's not a hardcore fatlus with no life that wants all the pokemons of the world
>>56795219Shit, at least the games could've been that good.
>>56795014>And he said he didn't want Piplup evolving on the show because he thought Prinplup and Empoleon "were ugly"I doubt Ash would say that.
You are now aware that Ash never outwardly displayeded any affection for his Pidgeotto, and after he left it in Pallet Town, he promised to come back for it, which he never did.Ash hated his Pidgeotto/Pidgeot, I can't understand why, he just did.
>>56795266Even casuals do a better job than Ash does, though. He doesn't even say "Hey, I like how that one looks! Go Pokeball... Sweet!" He just says "Will you be my friend? I need someone to care about me so I can betray their trust later."
>>56795014Prinplup is hideous, but Empoleon is badass.
>>56795331He didn't the writer did. Ash doesn't even own a piplup.
>>56795219http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H03OnxtH6g4
>>56795014>And he said he didn't want Piplup evolving on the show because he thought Prinplup and Empoleon "were ugly"I don't recall him having a piplup or saying that.
>>56795419Ash is an easy man, just like every generic whore.Anyway, he drops all the good pokemons but still he keeps that shitty non-evolved pikachu, charizard is way better!
>>56795415He didn't even let it out of its Pokeball in the 1st movie.
>>56795331I meant the anime's writer you dipshit.The Pokemon anime is terribely written, even the undubbed version
>>56795219I dunno, it might be getting there. Ash's team lately is at least substantially better than his previous ones.
nevar 4get
>>56795415>Ash hated his Pidgeotto/Pidgeot, I can't understand why, he just did.Because he was an evolved form. And after he evolved, he hated him even more.
>>56795500>my face when Frieza returns 5 episodes later
>>56794206Even Pauk beta the hell outta Ash because all his pokémon are evolved but Ash never thought of that.
>>56795415I think he had a grudge against it for trying to kill his caterpie or something.
so we are all in agreement ash sux cocks?
>>56795611Most anime is terribly written. Hell, the games are pretty terribly written as well. It's a kids show, cut it some slack. All it really tries to do is be a moderately interesting advertisement that throws a little bit out to creepy lolicon.
So who the fuck was that girl?
>>56795515god dammit.
>>56795813Basically, anyone who has ever played even an hour of the games agrees that he's a dumbass retard.
>>56795585He still uses Charizard, just on standby.
Ash is the dumbest trainer ever. His rivals constantly beat him, he never evolves his Pokemon, he uses terrible teams, and he constantly just abandons his Pokemon or lets them stay with strangers.
Ash will never win a real contest league. Orange and Battle Frontier don't count.
>>56795997and constantly gets lucky by getting himself into type disadvantage but has to win because hes the main character
>>56795954Most of his pokemon are, I think he only released Butterfree, Pidgeot, and Primeape and Gliscor are "In Training"
>>56795878Green.
>>56796030Plus he will die a virgin.
Why did Ash never let his Squirtle evolve?Blastoise wearing those black kamina shades would look like sex.
Pokemon anime: An electric type move can hurt a rock type if you HNGGGGGG hard enough
Ash doesn't like evolved Pokemon because he himself never grows up and wants his Pokemon the same wayhe's a Toy R' Us kid
>>56795611I wasn't even aware the pokeman anime had a writer, I just they just had a template they used for every episode.Meet new trainer with pokemon they haven't seen, hang out with them, team rocket tries to steal Pikachu and other trainer's pokemon, team rocket fails and goes blasting off again, walk off into sunset, rinse and repeat.
>>56796121Holy shit, and I just, JUST realize it now DX
>>56796164Rock types aren't actually immune to electric.Ground types are.
So much asspain in this thread. You just wish you all could be the very best like I am!
>>56794352Because if he did he couldn't help but be good.
>>56796182Gym Battles, Contests.There's actually a substantial amount of various types of bad writing that goes into this.
Why discuss the anime when we have the manga available?
He's not doing so bad right now
>>56796255Fuck off ash.
>>56796255Dear GodAsh is like the anime version of Christian Weston Chandler.
>>56796429He'll never fully evolve that Gible or Buizel.
Is that two starter pokemon?
>>56795851>It's a kids show, cut it some slack. All it really tries to do is be a moderately interesting advertisement that throws a little bit out to creepy lolicon.This. It's a show targeted at children, it doesn't aspire to be filled with touneyfaggotry or hardcore and edgy. It was going to end up like this on virtue of it's target audience, and it seems really stupid to criticize shit you aren't even going to watch.Just read Pokemon Special and quit bitching about a kid's show.
>>56796497You quit
>>56796255Don't you have some youngsters you need to go lose to by throwing out pokemon that have a type disadvantage?
>>56796350>implying /v/ can read anyone other than hurrs, durrs and doubles
I've been re-watching the anime trying to get to DP. I'm on Season 4 episode 187. He just beat Morty.Am I close?
>>56796429they are saying that the producers wants to change the whole cast in the new season...maybe with this fuckin team he can beat a championship for once...
>>56796676600 ep show bro.
>>56796676
>>56796743Oh...oh man.That's like a month of Pokemon
>>56796721Ash will never win
I remember Gold had a three part ep, he had Typlosion and was trying to save Raikou. I also remember thinking "I bet he has better Pokemon then ash does."
hated it then, and hate it still. I made some good money selling those burger king pokeballs you morons love to collect.
>>56796575>quit bitching about a show written for kids and read a manga written for kids instead
>>56796429>Gible>maleWasn't it the females that had the little notch in their fin?Also, Ash with a dragon type, stand the fuck back everyone.
Guys, i can understand playing the pokemon games, but watching the cartoon?i only watched the Croagunk episode and shit was awesome, but you seriously follow the series or just see it when your little brothers/cousins/etc etc are watching?
>>56795500Oh look, it's the crappy Bruce Faulconer music.
>>56796535>GibleYeah that thing is staying Gible. Buziel is the "too spunky to evolve" though, nobody cares about that. Ash isn't getting a Garchomp, hell I'd be surprised if he gets Gabite.>>56796721Yeah things seem to be getting a little climatic
Gible and Buziel will evolve during the pokemon league so they can have a cheap winAlthough i dont think gible will ever fully evolve, and if he does ash's current team would rape
>>56796676Ha, not even close.The Johto season is the longest string of fillers.in the entire run of all three series of the show. Enjoy one hundred episodes with one two actual gym battles.By contrast, in the current anime, the Sinnoh Grand Festial begins next week.
>>56796923Gold should have been the main protagonist for all of Jotho.
>>56796947Wat
>>56796971
>>56796951No>>56797053No. The series would be much better off with a completely original character rather than someone based off of game characters
>>56796947wat! he actually killed that Arbok?holy shit Manga Gary is hardcore
Chubby oldschool pikachu was god tier , then he got the sonic treatment , got thin and tall with long years , maybe they should give him green eyes now
>>56797169I disagree, I think the series would be much better if it was actually WRITTEN BETTER.
>>56797214Pretty sure it comes back as ZOMBIE.>>56797169>>56796951I meant to say no, the males have the notches
>>56797214It didn't actually die, as long as he still has a head he can regenerate from anything
>>56796497Go back to getting raped by Golbats
>>56797264That too
>>56797351>implying you're not going to lose to Dawn's plot armor in two episodes
>>56797284Its not a zombie, as long as that Arboks head is intact it can regenerate.
Protip: if you've watched anything past the johto anime you are a fag
>>56794206Remember when /v/ was about Vidya Games
>>56797403The episode titles already pretty much confirm that. Shit sucks.
>>56797414Johto was arguably the worst since he LITERALLY didn't evolve a damn thing other than Chikorita
>>56794450But he was voiced by Chopper's VA from One Piece.
Who is the chick in OP's pic by the way?
>>56797414>implying delicious drills are not a legitimate reason to watch the show
>>56797612Green/Lass.At one point they were the same character.
>>56797251Seriously, now this shit's infecting the games too.I want oldschool Pikachu back
Someone dump the manga.
>>56797612A lass.Just a lass.
>>56797612A random character. Not everyone in the opening appears in the show, it's animu. This always happens.Probably a design based off of a lass or something.
>>56797251>>56797780I hate Pikachu anyway, the rat can burn in hell for all I care. See >>56795690
They need to have a side series or something. They can make it short like 2-3 seasons of someone who actually stands a chance at becoming a pokemon master.They can restart the series every time they reach a new area (a new game if you will)It would be the exact same thing they are doing now except they wouldn't keep the main character. I think that would be way more entertaining to watch then 600+ episodes and like 12 movies of that failure ash and his shitty pikachu
>>56797705I second this. I'm now interested in the D/P episodes but I haven't found the time to look up and download the subbed episodes.
>>56797598Wait, seriously? Pikachu and Chopper have the same VA?... now that I think about it, it makes sense: they are both the cute mascot of the team whose role is to cater to the female demographic and the furfags.
>>56797955They did have a side series.Look up, "Legend of Raikou".Same shit.
