Pokémon anime

But...why? And for whom?

For his wife who we only saw in the prior second in their marriage shot.

In a hypothetic montage of Ash's life, would his spouse get anything besides possibly an unmarked stone?

Oh, wow. That's...deep.

But in all seriousness, too much Pikachu. I mean, there are others as well! When is Tangela gonna show up again?!?

Today's ep is hilarious but dialogue heavy so needs subs.

With that said, it confirms Bunnelby, Chespin and Pancham as male (even though for the latter two we already know of them being male). I wonder how Bulbapedia will spin it.

The people on Bulbapedia won't even say Ash's Charizard is male, despite it being male and it falling in love with a female Charizard named Charla in the valley, who had a pink ribbon on its head.

Bulbapedia has almost become a parody of itself.

It is.

They made a report like it was some sort of episode of Pokemon.

Of course they'd be a parody.

Huh, I thought you were kidding.

So Froakie speaks with "de gozaru" and calls Pikachu "-dono". How fitting he has feudal Japan tics heh.

Also Squishy speaks with an archaic "yo", because it's an ancient Pokemon!

And sounds like a squeakier Olympia...

Reminds me of a certain Baleful Polymorph from Chrono Trigger. I do hope my theory about the Trailers being Superdickery is true, so that Greninja and said polymorph could have something else in common.

I guess he'll be dubbed with Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe.

Found an interesting post about the Mega Evolution specials.

Getting an error from that link.

"I've just watched the four Mega Evolution specials and discovered that, something I'd never have guessed, those are actually...

...a VILLAIN ORIGIN STORY. Alain is working for Sycamore, but is unable to reach the Mega Evolution he wants. Lysandre then lends a secret helping hand and provides him with a Key Stone and a Charizardite (X) in return for Alain helping him with his research. While seeming genuine at first, we are given reasons to believe Lysandre is just turning Alain into an unofficial yet all the more dangerous Team Flare member.

This guy is probably the best I've ever seen in the anime as far as "seeming genuine" and "lying cleverly" goes. Sometimes he doesn't even need to lie to get what he wants, he just says things the right way, stresses the right points, makes the right impression. It's subtle - but very effective. And by the end of the fourth episode Lysandre HIJACKS ALAIN'S CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT to make him 100% Flare. Seriously, the whole miniseries was building up to Alain learning a thing and when it goes hay-wire because of Lysandre's schemes, Lysandre himself steps in and uses it to his advantage brilliantly. We have ourselves our Ghetsis and N of this generation, guys."

Domino is the most beautiful girl in Team Rocket.

I just had a thought as we all know Ash's four most reoccurring types are Flying, Grass, Fire, and Water.

So would that make Noivern the Flying Dragon to Charizard's Fire Dragon and Sceptile's Grass Dragon?

That still leaves us without a Water Dragon so either we're getting Feraligatr or we're getting a new water reptile starter in the future.

I personally would prefer Feraligatr. Maybe he can evolve once at the league then again in a post-league filler?

Except that Feraligatr is neither a Dragon-type nor a member of the Dragon breeding group.^note Surprising that Noivern isn't a member of that group.

If he had captured that Skrelp it could have counted, even though its primary type is Poison.^note It loses the Water-typing upon evolution to Dragalge to make way for Dragon-typing.

So it'd be a new starter... if a future one qualifies... and if he's still in the series at that point. (Though if he's in a movie in the gen after he departs and that gen has such a starter, he could have one as one of his Pokemon.)

EDIT: Or perhaps Goodra qualifies with Rain Dance... probably not, though.

Yeah, she is pretty! Probably the only cute Team Rocket girl. (If Annie and Oakley are not counted.) Too bad I still have yet to see that special.

Yes she is. :) I get the feeling that Jessie would say she's the most beautiful girl in Team Rocket. ;P

I figured out it was Alain's Start of Darkness when I saw the pictures. Pretty clever way to do it, definitely.

Why are most of the Team Rocket duos named after Wild West outlaws?

Mega Ampharos (Electric/Dragon)

You must remedy that. It's even better than the first one.

Amphy's breeding groups were determined 4 generations ago. It's kind of like not being able to give Gyarados Dragon-type in addition to Water and Flying/Dark: you can't add on a third breeding group.

Not like the Japanese version was any more original — Jessie and James were named after samurai in the Japanese version (Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro, respectively). Butch and Cassidy's original names were kind of puns around Musashi and Kojiro. Annie and Oakley being Rocket members was dub-only. :p

When was Attila the Hun a Western outlaw then?
