  • OK, in the 40 episode of Pokemon, Ash wants an Eevee that he sees tied up, later in the B&W anime, when the gang visited the pokemon island 3 Eevees evolve into: Flareon, Jolteon and Vaporeon, however Ash doesn't catch them, so do i miss something here? Why Ash doesn't want to catch them? Or maybe Ash suffers from amnesia?

    This particular event is a nonissue for those of us who pretend that BW never happened.

    What do you expect from "Worst Wishes" ? If Ash isn't allow to keep a Goodra then there noway in hell he can get 3 Eevee.
    As for Amnesia , Ash claimed he will catch every Pokemon But now he wait for a Pokemon fall from a sky to join him.
    Plus, Look how Jessie fawning over Steven's Photo even though She already met Steven in person and didn't felt a thing ! Sometime I wonder if AG Series is canon or not ?

    Off course , One good thing from this would be that Contestshipping will not be a Canon and Ash can end up with the most beautiful traveling companion he ever had.

    I don't see the issue: A lot of time passed in-between the two events, so he might've simply changed his mind.

    That, or he didn't wanted people to ask him "wow where did you get those pokemon?", so he couldn't tell about the pokemon island

  • This series just has bad continuity now.

    She's right. I can tell there's bad continuity going because Ash has been recently Pokedex-scanning a Pokemon that he has obviously seen before. It's like trying to pretend that it has been so long since he last learned info on that Pokemon so he Dex-scans it again.

  • I can see why they are making Ash do this, because of the kids who watched the last generation's saga growing up and moving onto shows meant for their age. Thanks, Jake.

    Actually he is from Kanto where THEY LIVE so all he has to do is say that and the secret island is safe.

    Mewtwo never erased Ash's memory, he erased everyone else's. He let Ash keep his because he respected Ash for showing him there was hope for him in this world. Doesn't explain why he doesn't know what mewtwo is in the B and W movie though. As for those eevees, they were content and evolved in the episode. Those two things are why he didn't go after them. He only will catch something if it approves. And whenever something evolves in the anime, they don't catch it. Ash also has seen eevee twice before then and didn't want one, so he may either want someone else to catch it in those episodes, or he doesn't want to catch them. The consistency is weird though, as Ash first encounters and wants a dunsparce in Black and White, and then in X and Y he finds another one and wants to catch it., and doesn't due to other reasons. I hope he catches one eventually.

    Ash must of hit his head to many times if he does not rember getting killed by Mewtwo. Or shocked by Pikachu to many times. Mabey that's how he had memory loss. But you would think Pikachu would at least rember. Basically, they both forgot their encounter with the clone of Pokemon Jesus(aka Mew)...

    The only time Ash kept his memory was in Mew-Two Returns in that Movie Ash was confused when Mew-Two talked about his past but that movie Mew-Two let Ash keep his Memory.

    Maybe he's not simply forgetting stuff, but rather he wants to forget everything, so that he can experience everything again as if it was new?
