"Written Agatha the same Way" is same as forcing her !
Do you think A trainer like Ash would ever lose to trash name Trip or Cameron ? No , But Writers force him too.
Its an Anime , Agatha said all those thing because Writer wanted her to send Ash in Battle Frontier .
No, it's not "forcing" her at all. Forcing her to do something would be more if she didn't want it yet they ended up making her do it anyways via a proverbial gun to the back. And like I said, that would make her and the Elite 4 look extremely bad and foolish if they did that, and use common sense, do you REALLY think they would disrespect what the Anime made clear was among the strongest trainers of the world and having a very high reputation to them look like idiots by doing that?
Also , Ask that question after Ash win the Kalos league and get beaten by Gary ! Because then , He might be too strong for Gary to beat him.
And if Gary beats him anyways? You can't fall back on "it's not an official league" as an excuse when that happens.
Just because they doesn't like Pokemon training doesn't mean they doesn't keep their pokemon !
They simply keep them as pet.
You know, I had pets, yet other than my moving from Connecticut to Georgia when I was a toddler if even that, not once did I EVER bring my pets along for a vacation, even when we drove there, and most of my neighbors really didn't do that either.
Are you guaranty it ? Have you seen any of Lola's water pokemon in the gym ?
Have you seen any pokemon that doesn't belong to Brock or Foster ?
Also , Didn't you notice that they also took Brock's Ludicolo with them ?
Yeah, I noticed, and Lola's probably the only one who actually DID bring her Pokémon along. However, there's absolutely no guarantee that Flint brought his Pokémon along.
May's mother Caroline never shown any pokemon but she did tried to catch a Tantacool in the flashback! Do you think she just like Ash who throw empty pokeball at pokemon.
Yeah, she had Pokémon there, especially with that Pokeball, but that doesn't mean all people who travel have Pokémon.
We did saw Misty & Jessie competing against many of their competitor.
But they were so weak that they didn't last a second against an experience trainer! Its a shame Misty used Borrowed pokemon when May , Dawn and even Serena could have won it using their own pokemon.
1. We really don't see whether they were strong. And we don't actually SEE them fight against all the characters. Just four of them, and there were a LOT more than just four trainers they had to fight against.
2. Using borrowed Pokémon is NOT a sign of weakness. In fact, if anything, being able to use borrowed Pokémon and command them effectively as if they were your own is a sign of being a very skilled trainer. That Pokémon League Exam episode even made that explicit, where Ash and James LITERALLY had to run on borrowed Pokémon for part of the exam.
It doesn't matter because he not the one arguing about that Beauty Pageant qualifying or eliminating anyone .
And again, if it was NOT what the Japanese version had in mind, he would have stated it, especially when he's a bit biased for the Japanese version over the dub.
Rare candies doesn't turn pokemon into Godzila size monsters.
It was nothing more then a untested experimental candy that Dr.Gordon accidentally invented.
Except in the Japanese version, it was called Rare Candy (or rather,
Puni-chan appeared until September so that's the "End" Month.
No, it appeared on an artwork that could be either for July or August since it is used for BOTH months. The only thing that's clear is that the LATEST it CAN go is September. I find it far more likely that it will last until either Movie 19 or the episode that airs after it, since that's when it will be appearing as its 100% form.
So , Did the Movie was made all by itself ? Obviously , The Movie was made by a studio while the Producer paying for it.
Those who made the movie knew what they are advertizing !
Hidaka didn't, though, and they even had to ask twice just to make sure he wasn't fibbing.
Are you sure it got canceled because of Low Rating ? There are many people for an Anime to get canceled.
For example : Cartoon Network pull the plug on Love-hina because of Lousy Voice acting.
It got cancelled in Japan because of, and I quote, "an unexpected loss of money." That points to very bad ratings (ratings basically translate to how much money a person can earn and are a show's lifeline).
Its a Kids Anime , Not some mature Shoujo !
In here its better for both Ash & The girl to be unaware of their own growing feeling toward one another until they grow older to understand it.
Thats why , Most Kids Anime doesn't have confession or Dating ! They just have a flash forward future to show whom the protagonist married.
Well yeah, except Love at First Sight is a common kids thing as well. Just look at Disney films. Heck, even Pokémon has done that a few times, albeit with COTDs, and it can be argued that Serena DID have love at first sight (though even there, Ash doesn't reciprocate or even notice her feelings, so it still is disqualified).
In that case , Ash would be An Aura-guardian without receiving any training since he won the Rota Tournament.
Dude , Alpha Omega is just a title!
By that logic, Pokémon Master and Top Coordinator's just a title as well, so even Ash winning the league and beating the Elite 4/Champion doesn't mean he becomes one, and in fact, he'll never become one, neither will May or Dawn.
Then she won't leave the Gym to them ! Viola , Fantina & Byron often leave the gym empty So their is no problem if Misty leave to compete in Whirl Cup .
Do you really think Misty would let the gym be shut down. And like I said, the PIA stinks regarding inspections considering how they let Pewter Gym pass when Lola and Flint ran it despite having even more stuff deserving of it being shut down as A Family that Battles Together Stays Together demonstrated.
Why you competing Misty goal with Ash ?
Ash travel around the whole year collecting Gym badge to compete in Pokemon League while Misty just follow Ash around hoping something related to Water Pokemon will pop up .
That's not a quest .
First of all the "whole year" bit was dub added. Second of all, Misty actively did find ways to satiate her Water Pokémon goal, so it IS a quest. And besides, even when Ash did win the Orange Cup and the Battle Frontier, stuff that otherwise matched the Gym Badge quest, he still continued, so by definition, it's not a quest either (after all, a quest ends when you've accomplished the goal, so he has no reason to continue in either case).
Pewter City came more close to be shut down then Cerulean Gym.
Also , If PIA doesn't have problem with a robot running a gym while the Leader running around then they doesn't have the right to judge Misty.
Not to mention Volker giving off Free Badges.
Yeah, actually, they DO, since they're the ones who make or break gyms. And I'm not even sure if Pewter City came closer to being shut down, at least while Flint or Lola were running it (can't say about when Forrest was running it). If anything, it just seemed to pass with flying colors especially when Flint and Lola never even MENTIONED a problem with the PIA in their hoso episode. And we definitely know they had to have inspected Pewter Gym beforehand since they made clear Cerulean Gym was the end of the road for inspections in Kanto.
Then how come Cynthia , Alder and Diantha are the only champion to use all type of Pokemon.
That actually proves my point, as Champions, which since DP are considered Pokémon Masters, generally do have one type of Pokémon. And besides, Dent and his brothers use multiple types for their Gym (Fire, Grass, Water), and in the games where Blue was made Gym Leader, at best only ONE Pokémon on his team actually MATCHED Ground Types. Not to mention even in the Anime, Giovanni despite the gym specifically going for Ground Types, only had Golem (part ground) and Rhydon (again, part Ground) as part of the Gym Lineup, as it included Pokémon that clearly WEREN'T Ground types at all (Two Kinglers, a Machamp, not to mention Mewtwo), and even in the games, Giovanni had at LEAST one Pokémon that wasn't Ground as well (Kangaskhan). And if becoming a Water Pokémon Master truly involved running the Gym, she would NOT have left the gym in the first place.
In that case , Iris winning Don Tournament and battling Dreydan should be a Side-quest as well.
Even though , She couldn't even fulfill one job that Ash able to do .
Seriously , If Ash evolve Noibat then that should make him a Dragon Master.
It is, and her desire to become a Dragon Pokémon Master WAS treated as a quest, and unlike Misty, actually was ALLOWED to continue her goal.
FYI : Clair isn't from Dragon Village but she still a Dragon Master.
1. She never was considered that in the Anime, not even by herself. 2., Even in the games, the one time she was actually called that, she was inferior to her cousin, Lance, who was not only an Elite 4 member, but also the reigning champion, and the only one who actually said she was that was her, which considering how she was a huge narcissist in the game to such an extent that she actually forced the player to get a Dragon fang in the cave out of spite for losing against the player, that's not exactly evidence.
Misty got replaced too !
Also May was not only Ash's equal , She practically overshadowed him.
Ash barely didn't had any competition at all.
Basically , Everything in AG seem to be focus on May & Her Contest!
It felt like the new stuff who took over the show saw May as the Protagonist and Drew as the hero while Ash just a supporting character .
Ash merely got focus in Gym or Movies.
Yeah, I know, which is why I can't consider Misty a co-star either. Unless May actually stayed in DP, she can't be a co-star by definition.
Also , Have you even seen the movie ? Because May never Abandoned Manaphy , She run right behind it when the Sea Temple was collapsing.
Furthermore , It was May's word that awakened Ash and give him the strength to fix the Sea temple.
I did see the movie, and I was referring to when Captain Phantom basically snuck up and abducted Manaphy in a rather obvious manner (for goodness sakes, we actually see his hat inching up to them) just after Ash saved the temple. I was disgusted with how she just let Phantom abduct Manaphy without even putting up a fight (if anything, it required Ash ripping off both Sonic the Hedgehog's Chaos Emeralds/Super States and Dragon Ball Z's Super Saiyans to save Manaphy), not to mention not even aid Ash in any way (she just boarded a sub). Come on! She has a Squirtle, which is stated to catch up to ski jets in terms of swimming speed, she could have at least used that to save Phantom. She's basically his mom, for crying out loud! At least actually HAVE her demonstrate a Mother Bear instinct at that point in the movie. I could have respected her getting Manaphy despite that movie not even fitting her as long as she at LEAST demonstrated being a mother at the most opportune time, but she didn't.
Yet his DP , BW and XY outfit has striking resemblance with the Games main character outfit.
No, it doesn't. Luca's outfit has a white stripe on the coat, Ash has a yellow stripe. Also, Lucas has a scarf. Ash doesn't. Not to mention the shoes were different as well. And for Hilbert, the hat's completely different as well. And Ash has a yellow zipper instead of white and has more white than light blue on the jacket. And for Calem, he doesn't even REMOTELY look like Calem at all, different hat, different outfit, all of that. He doesn't even have shades. There are plenty of stark differences for the outfits.
Which make it more courageous because the strongest guy wasn't around to save her .
Vegeta's pretty strong as well, and in fact, most of the Z-Fighters were no slouches, so that's not exactly enough there.
Ash did it to prove Caterpie's strength specially after Misty insult it and hurt its feeling.
Which basically nearly got it killed and devoured, which was a horrible way to do it, and actually gloated about how he was the greatest despite nearly getting it killed. And anyways, he also used Caterpie after his earlier attempt at just capturing Pidgeotto failed.
She didn't do it out of her love for Caterpie ! She was simply criticizing Ash.
I never said she did it out of love for Caterpie, nor is it what I meant to say either, I just said she stood up for him. It doesn't require love for someone to stand up for someone. Compassion, sure, but not love. Don't forget, Harry Potter spared Peter Pettigrew in Prisoner of Azkaban, even though he utterly hated Peter and had every reason to want him dead for his role in his parents' murder, even stopping Sirius Black and Professor Lupin.
At least , she doesn't insult Bugs pokemon for being gross! Misty & Bulma both had their own flaws.
Again, never denied that Misty had flaws, but she was certainly a better character than Bulma.
There is no love at first slight in Kids Anime!
Just because Mayl and Lan got married doesn't mean Ash & Misty would suffer the same fact.
For example : Tai and Sora didn't end up together despite all the hint pointing toward them.
Instate , The Anime giving more hint toward Tracey and Misty since AG series.
The only hint towards Misty and Tracey they actually had in the AG series was the Luvdisc episode, and considering that was just two Luvdisc using attract, not to mention Daisy's overactive imagination, that's not exactly enough to indicate that they're going to be a couple. And besides which, we can't be so sure that Azurill is much of a hint either. For all we know, he just called Misty to pick it up because, hey, it evolves into a Water type and he knows Misty likes Water Pokémon. Being a friend, in other words.
Also, there is love at first sight in Kids Anime as well. We had two rip-offs of Romeo and Juliet (technically three), and there was Brock's infatuation with the Ghost of Maiden's Peak, not to mention the episode where a boy-crazy/wedding-crazy girl goes all damsel in distress for Brock and James in Johto. Heck, we can even label Serena going love at first sight for Ash as well.
After the stunt Ash pulled in Sea Temple , Any girl would be head over the hill for him.
The Only problem is Drew and Atsuhiro Tomioka's love for this guy.
Off Course , Junichi Masuda use an "Advanceshipping" fanart in his Twitter account.
She still didn't fall for him, and in fact didn't even give a heartfelt goodbye to Ash when she left for Johto, something even Dawn did at the end of DP, and she actually had a possible shipping partner in the form of that childhood friend of hers.
Who the hell is Nickstr ? Don't use some hack game to prove your point !
Nickstr is a user on here, as well as a Misty fan, and he actually DID win with a Water-type team, WITHOUT hacks, I should add.
Pokemon Contest is Side-quest in Anime and by far the Best one since its shown a different type of Battling.
It doesn't, really, not in the games, and besides, they replaced May with Dawn, which won't work here.
Here the thing , Since when Misty is a playable character ?
Don't dare to use Hack games ! It made by another Misty fan who wanted Misty to be same as May & Dawn.
There is no end credit in Anime , Also ORAS has an entire ark on Contest.
Also , The Anime replace May with Dawn to promote Diamond and Pearl while giving new Eye-candies to boys .
That Interview answered the question .
She was an actual Player Character in Pokémon Puzzle League, actually.
And you know what I mean by "end credits." I mean it's actually REQUIRED to beating the game or actually can have the player end the game. Beating evil teams is a requirement to beating the game, beating Gyms is a requirement, heck, beating the Pokémon League or beating Red in the case of Generation II/IV is a requirement. Beating Contests? No, it's not a requirement. And if the Anime truly is just an advertisement for the games, they should stick to how the GAMES treated contests.
The Current style doesn't fit Pokemon ether ! Pokemon is Gag battle anime , not a Japanese version of Dragon tales.
Currently , People can't enjoy the filler because they too focus on Ash's goal So all filler seem unbearable .
And we already seen what happen when Writers screw the League in BW Series.
So , People will enjoy filler if Ash already accomplish his goal to be a Champion Master! Afterward , The Anime could focus on Ash dealing with Bad Guys while also facing similar issue a real 12 year old boy face in real life.
True, but making it as serious as Batman: Under the Red Hood isn't a good decision either. He still needs to age, though, since at least then, his journey becomes more plausible.
