Title: I would watch pokemon again if it was like this
Post by: Neobelmont on June 28, 2012, 05:56:47 AM
★ Pokémon Black 2 and Pokémon White 2 - New B/W 2 Animated Trailer Short HD! (Subbed) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2SA4GyXb2U#ws)

If pokemon was like this or close to pokemon special(from what I hear) I would get into the franchise again.

This blew my mind for a reason I thought it would be lame but I was like dang.  :o

I used to watch the animated series as a kid. At first I really loved it, but after a few seasons I realized Ash has no character development whatsoever, nor does he become any better as a trainer. So the series has no continuity value. Kinda ruined it for me.

That's what I thought at first.
Then I realized that how good a trainer you are depends on the Pokemon you have with you.  Since he's constantly switching pokemon, they're probably not all at higher levels (except for his possibly-Lv100 Pikachu).

Sometimes he'll bring out a Pokemon from a long-ass time ago (which means he must have a laptop somewhere or stopped at a Pokemon Center when the camera wasn't looking).  If you think about it, if that Pokemon has been in a PC it's probably not that high level, so it might kinda suck in a battle against a higher-level opponent.

I think the only evolved pokemon Ash has is charazard that is it. The first season is still very good and I stoped watching around The region with may, but I do want to read pokemon special  :) Plot seems to be a home run compared to the anime which Ash has never aged for like what 10+ years should he not be a pokemon master/ have a kid by now or something?

Haha don't you know?  In animation, characters are ageless.
Just look at the Simpsons.

Yeah I stopped watching around the May episodes (Hoenn Region - Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald), because the Pokemon from that region started being crazy mashups of genres.  A fighting psychic?  A water/lightning?

However, after many years, and finally playing Pokemon Emerald, I've grown fond of Hoenn... I like it more than Sinnoh (which I'm begrudgingly trudging through in Pokemon Platinum now).

Chinchou/lanturn from G/S/C would like to have a word with you.  :P

Oh, and the sexual tension between jessie and james is so f**kin' obvious. Those two should stop chasing pikachu and get a room or something.

I'm aware of that one dude, but in GSC it was the exception, not the rule.
In Hoenn, the majority seem to do this, which I wouldn't mind if some weren't so stupid.
And, like I said, after many years, when I finally revisited Emerald, it was kinda alright.

I'm also not really into contests, so I do not really care for things like 'coat shininess' and beauty stats and whatnot.

What was awesome was when they brought it all back home with Heartgold.

-I enjoy having my #1 Pokemon following me around.  I hope they bring that back.
-I enjoyed the Pokewalker aspect.  I still use mine! :o
-Customizable Safari Zone and a functional Migration Pal Park (the Diamond/Pearl/Platinum one could only be used once a day).
-Calling the gym leaders to schedule rematches.  Calling anybody, really.  And them calling you.
-Outbreaks (brought back in Black), swarms of pokemon migrating from other regions on a particular day of the week.
-The National Park catching contest.

They should've had the Sevii Islands from FireRed/Leafgreen, but overall it's still a great game. :D

Haha I'm sure Jesse & James are very great friends... with benefits.

Yeah, Soul silver was awesome.

I hope in the 6th generation, they have a grass/fire, water/fire and fire/ice type combinations as well as a few others

Oh and Jorge?  What do you think about water/ground or water/grass?

Man, I miss my Luidicolo from my first emerald team.  Quagsire and Swampert were awesome on several of my teams.  8)

It's not as silly as Ground/Flying (Gligar the FlyScorpion Pokemon).
Or as Bug/Grass (Sewaddle, though it IS based on a real insect that does that).
Or Ground/Electric (Stunfisk, that awful looking Shoe/Fish mudshocker pokemon GRAH!  I can imagine running on the mud and randomly stepping on it and getting shocked on my foot!)

On topic, that pokemon special was awesome.

I wish for every new pokemon generation, they would use the main characters in the show instead of Ash.  I mean, the only times he won a chamionship was the orange islands league and the Sinnoh battle frontier.

I have to agree with this. I recall waking up every morning with sparkles in my eyes to watch Pokemon but soon I realized it wasn't for me. I still love the games though.

For Black/White 2 I'm not sure if I'll get them. I wasn't much of a fan of Black/White. However, knowing me I'll cave in and buy them. I get a chubby from still using my team from Leaf Green. I've transferred them from Leaf Green to Pearl to Heart Gold to White to maybe White/Black 2.
