Well, unless Iris had a Town Map (I mean, why couldn't she?) or a story is written where they overcome this issue. You know, because you don't need a whole character to serve this menial purpose and can have characters solve their own problems.

I'll leave out XY given it's just starting. Anyways, it bugged me how Brock, Tracey and Cilan were brought onto the show only to amount to literally zilch. Little to no character arc, little involvement in any major plots. More often than not, they felt like they were added to the show at the...

Then it should've been in her own episode, not Team Galactic's.

Even now, that scene bugs the heck out of me. Okay, I give the TV show props for show actual on-screen death with little ambiguity and no resurrections of any kind and I'm surprised even the dub left it untouched (then again, it's not done by 4kids who would've said everyone was transported...

Suppose someone writes a story that attracts regular readers and it contains a certain element that he/she like in particular but most of everyone else doesn't like it. Both sides are very passionate in their arguments but when is the author rejecting criticism, blindly defending his/her "bad"...

I think with Shelment and Karrablast, their Dex entries explain their evolution being triggered by an electrical charge. Perhaps that's how Trade evolution work.

Whatever happened to Pierce and during the end of Meteonite mission? I get that the episodes were canceled but that doesn't make the plot-holes any less maddening. Was Pierce a double agent for Team Plasma? Did he die (not likely)? Was the Meteonite retrieved?

But... most English viewers of Pokemon wouldn't know how to read Japanese so those made-up symbols may as well be Japanese characters. No need to edit anything. Those ignorant to the actual language can see it as the Pokemon world's language. What I asking is... what's the actual point?

When I think about the made-up language and symbols, they may as well use Japanese since that'd be no different aside from being an actual language. I don't think international fans are going to mind that much. It just make me scratch me head and ask "why?"

This threads about moments in the Anime that don't make you rant so much as make you got "Huh?" when you think about it. For one: how are Ash, May or Dawn able to be Trainers when they don't seem to have even the bare basis down when they start? You'd think they'd be better educated before...

I'd be lying if I said I completely hated them. They do have some of the coolest battles on the show and Ash doesn't go down without a fight against then. Even Tobias (who had an admittedly cool design) managed to make his battle against Ash fairly memorable and intense. On the other hand, they...

Found this blog and I thought I'd make for an interesting thread. What are your thoughts on these "OOC" moments done right? Do you have any examples?

No, it's Serena going all Sailor Moon (get it?).

I posted one above already, okay?

If I'm allowed to post my own... Serena: MOON PRISM POWER! MAKE UP!
