lol sorry man! you know...that picture....

So, we're in a nice paradox... XD

hey there lady o/

Yeah... and I'm from Pallet Town... XD

You: Red? Who's that?

Me: I am Red.

XD

I haven't kept track of it either since the Advanced episodes. Battle Frontier was when I stopped watching, and I will admit, it had a lot to do with the voice actor/actress changes. xD May did have very good character development in the show. It wasn't overdone, like Dawn's. To be honest, Ash was one of my favorite characters at first, but I feel that he's gotten too "soft", and some of the things he does/says are just dumb. He irritates me now. And yeah his original outfit was pretty epic. =/ Unfortunately, Dawn won't be replaced by Kotone. Kotone is in the anime at the moment, but her anime lifespan is from 5-10 episodes I believe. They probably just put her in there to promote the new games, because she has no real role. As for her personality, she's alright. A little annoying/stupid at times, but nothing like Dawn. xD I like Kotone better in the games, though.

Ah, I've never gotten to try the Stadium games, but yes, I've heard they're very fun. ^^ I hope you don't mind me asking, but how is Lance in Stadium? Lol.

Omg I know. Some of the fanfics out there are so random and just ridiculous. I've only found a select few that I really like and that are well-written, which is sad because there are SO MANY of them...

Haha even just minor things like that bug me too, especially when it comes to my favorite characters. I liked the addition of the badges on the strap. Very nice. ^^

Sure! I'd be more than happy to answer any questions. I think Red was very much in character, since he doesn't seem to have a very "outgoing" personality anyway. You got him spot on, in my opinion. I thought Gary was good, but I will admit, his perviness levels were over 9,000. xD Then again, that'd pretty much be how almost any boy that age would treat a girl in a mini-skirt. Haha. But I thought all around, you did a good job on him. And yes, Leaf was just perfect. That is exactly how I would expect her character to act. Mature for her age, not willing to put up with any creeps, and a helpful person. The perfect heroine personality. ^^ Nicely interpreted, and very well-written.

Agreed! I wish there could've been more funny scenes with them in the game. Although another scene I found amusing was right before the double battle with Lance and Clair. I think you'll somewhat enjoy this little piece of art pertaining to that scene: http://chaoru.deviantart.com/art/Tag-Battle-asdf-160564167

Then again, I'm a big shipper, so I always find that kind of stuff cute.

That, and her over-developed character in the anime. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, but in the first few episodes she was in, it really felt like they were pushing her character on us. I mean I know it's not really anything, but it took a long time for May to get her own ending, while Dawn had hers as soon as her debut. =/

I've never actually played Battle Revolution, but I've seen videos of the gameplay on YouTube. It honestly didn't interest me at all, and was much different from that awesome trailer. Why must Nintendo tease us like that? T.T

Well, some people enjoy that stuff. Crazy fangirls/fanboys out there. xD As for the icon, I think they both look nice. I can't tell yours is photoshopped at all, so you might as well use it, since her hair has been corrected. ^^

I wish I could read the manga, but I can't find the full thing anywhere. And of course, the only parts I'd be interested in reading are Lance's, just to get a better take on what he's like. I'm still sort of shocked that he's downright evil, though. Totally threw me off when I first heard it.

I left a small review, although I guess it can't really be coinsidered much of a review, can it? xD I'm not the best at critiquing things, so just a heads up: Expect simpleton things like "Wow! That was really cool!", etc.

To be honest, I'm not really sure what's going on in the one I linked either. It's a reference to some sort of video game, but I found it funny anyway. Especially Silver in the first two panels. He looks so devious. xD

Well, it would definately make more sense. But, really Nintendo? 11 years old is just pushing it. That fact, plus her already skimpy DP outfit, PLUS the even shorter skirt in Platinum, makes her entire character just obnoxious.

I REALLY wish they wouldn't have replaced May with Dawn...although that's another matter all together. But yes, I have seen that trailer before, and got excited to know that she would be a playable character. Then later trailers came out, and I was like "Where did she go?" Ugh. To be honest, that trailer looks better than the actual game itself. Haha.

It is incredible. I had no idea Poke-sho was even a fansite when I first went there. I thought it was the real deal, until I saw all of the fanservice pictures, then I realized something was up. xD Oh I know. It's so difficult to navigate my way around there because I have no idea what I'm clicking on 90% of the time. =/

I haven't actually read the manga either, but I have seen a few scans from it, and heard people describe what he's like in the manga. He's psycho. Point blank. Lol. Altough I can't say I dislike it. It's rather...interesting to view Lance from a different perspective. Don't get me wrong, though; I much prefer him in the games. ^^

I surely will. =) Sorry I have to keep putting it off. >.< I'll read it when I get home later. Looking forward to it. And okay, just checking. I browse through Bulbagarden's forums from time to time, but don't actually have an account there.

I got a 404 error for the link that you posted, saying that it's been moved or deleted. For reference though, I have seen quite a few interpretations of that scene, especially over at deviantart.com. I have to say, I found them all funny. Check out this one: http://torappu.deviantart.com/art/Kotone-TR-stripping-scene-140414952

Hahaha another totally OOC Kotone, but great nonetheless.

I do like her outfit, but yeah, her age does kinda ruin it. =/ And the stockings/boots combo does not help at ALL. -.-; Now Platinum, I totally agree. They felt the need to make her skirt even shorter, it looked like. I'm willing to bet they were seriously aiming for fanservice when they designed her like that. Poor Dawn. Haha.

I know! Leaf does not get enough love. Period. I mean, what a waste of a fantastic character! She didn't even get one of the special episodes or anything. T.T

Well, I got two of my Lance avatars from Poke-sho, which is where you got your avatar, correct? If not, my apologies. ^^;

Yeah, he was definately a bit stuck up in Gen I. Haha. And in the manga he is just SCARY. His lines when he lost in GSC/HGSS were perfect, though. He doesn't make you feel like you've done something wrong. xD

Alright, thanks. =) I'll be sure to check it out tomorrow, as I am going to bed soon. I'll be more than happy to leave a review. ^^ Also, if you have a fan-fiction.net account, let me know. I have one, so I'll leave you a review there as well.

You're right. I was thinking of that scene from a girl's POV, hence my OOC Lance moment. Haha. Lance is far too well-composed to do something like that.

True, and even though what Silver did in that scene was without a doubt uncalled for, he was doing it to, dare I say, help you. xD I always found Silver to be an amusing character, so it makes me happy to know that the player eventually gets on his good side. =3

Agreed. I can't exactly pinpoint why, but I'm not all that fond of Dawn. I like her character design, but that's about it. Haha. Come to think of it, yeah! They do match in some ways. It'd be cute to see them interact in a game or the anime someday. ^^ I definately plan to use a Lance avatar, since I have quite a few. I'll be switching to him in a couple of weeks, most likely.

I liked how he acted in the anime. He just seemed like an all-around nice guy. =) We're on the same page though, seeing as how I too prefer his character design in HG/SS. The ONLY thing that bothered me just a slight bit was his eyebrows. Funny that I say that though, because really the only picture of him that I don't like his eyebrows in is his artwork for the games. He looks...old. He looks very nice in the actual game, though. ^^

He does have some cool dialogue, I have to say. And that line definately stands out.

Sure! I'd love to read it. I enjoy reading fanfics. =)

That must've been crazy. xD Although if I was Lance, I would've punched Silver out if he did that. <.< I mean, really...what a little brat. Then again, you have to see it from Silver's POV as well, and how it pains him to see someone whom he thought was a reliable and well-rounded trainer all of a sudden become a Rocket member.

I think it was a good decision indeed. =) I also had a rough time deciding between a Lance or Kotone avatar... >.< I had to choose the Kotone one. It looked like it was begging me. D: Lol. I'll use my Lance one eventually.

Definately! Not bad at all. And he made two awesome appearances in the anime, although his second appearance was a bit random, I have to admit. xD Although I enjoyed every minute of it. ^^

Wow! That is so neat! Haha it must've been funny when you got to that said double battle in the Rocket hideout. Lance teams up with...Lance! The Rockets must've been like "lolwut o.O".

Hello, and welcome to the forums, Champion Leaf! Thanks for dropping by and leaving a message. It's nice to meet you too. =) Ah, Lance is amazing. I wish he'd get a bit more spotlight, but hey, I can't complain. His scenes/moments are always awesome. ^^

I like your avatar! Leaf is a cool character as well. =)
