Pokémon General Thread

I'm more surprised someone actually found that out.

I'm more surprised you didn't know that already, Hob.

I'm surprised that it's not butter!

I don't have my headphones with me, so anyone wanna explain what was so interesting about that clip?

James said "4Kids is the devil or something".

It's "Leo Burnett and 4Kids are the devil."

Is this one of those things where they reversed the audio and there were "hidden messages" in it? Or did he just say that straight up?

The former, and this actually looks legit.

Man, what? I need to listen to this when I get home...

It is legit.

Not like that "I love Satan" bullshit.

-watched it-

What.

The what? o_O

Actual 4Kids dialogue!

That always perplexed me. You'd think that if musicians were putting backwards messages into their songs, it would be something more like "Buy our album."

Yeah, it's practically Card-Carrying Villain evil.

Apparently according to some fundamentalist whackjob if you play "Gotta catch em all!" backwards you get "I love Satan!". I can confirm personally that it's false.

So wait, "N" isn't N's real name? This is news to me.

Um...what? Where did you see that?

First reply here.Also this.

Well, I mean, N isn't exactly much of a name. My guess is we will somehow find out about his backstory and learn what the name his mother gave him was, before Ghetsis became his only parent.

Y'know, there is a lot of potential you could explore with Ghetsis and N's past...

Huh. Now I know what Anom's username here comes from.

The critter that Anorith was based off of.

Yup, I found out that it was a direct take from the actual Anomalocaris when I visited the Chicago field museum. Twas a rather fun and very informative visit.

Heh.

In my bid to get a Chatot to White with Heat Wave, Nasty Plot, AND Encore, I've gone through three Togetics.

The first one to breed a Female one, with the gender ratio the same as that of the Starters, the Female one to ensure a Male one with the Egg moves, and the Male one to finally pass the torch to a Timid Chatot.

Even though I still cannot use a Chatot in Random Wi-Fi, I wanted to do this stint of chain breeding just to prove I can.

We find out N's real name and it's.... N.

Still though, I like having him known as N.

I always thought that Team Plasma was around since before his birth, and his mother was probably a random female Grunt that either 1) had given birth to a child she didn't want or couldn't care for, and thus gave him up to Ghetsis thinking it wasn't going to be as horrible as it was, or 2) was somehow "recruited" specifically for this purpose.

Also, if I'm doing a series with all five of the regions' champions from Gold and Silver up (since Blue's busy with the gym) go off and have adventures, would you say Cynthia or Lance is a better candidate for The Hero in their Five-Man Band?

Other roles are:

• The Big Guy: Alder (tries to be a paternal figure to the other four, and his dialog in Pokemon Black And White certainly gave a Boisterous Bruiser feel to him.)
• The Smart Guy: Steven (both he and Cynthia have pretty nerdy interests and hobbies, but he comes off to me as more mellow than Cynthia, so...)
• The Chick / The Heart: Wallace (most sensitive and dramatic of the five, certainly the most feminine, likes to go on about grace and elegance)

I'd say Cynthia, if just because she's extremely powerful and is actually there most of the time. More so than Lance at least.

Lance should be The Lancer. Obviously.
