  • I searched for topics similar to this but to no avail. So can you name any godawful mistakes the anime has presented u with in the past?

    I remember on Mew vs Mewtwo where Team Rocket mistook a scyther silouette on the clone machine for alakazam. I was so upset and confused... (Bear in mind I was about 8 then.) XD

  • A newer one, from... the seventh badge in Hoenn. Ash had Pikachu blast lightning into the sky, and reflect it right back at it and Swellow, allowing them to get charged up, gain armor for some reason, and beat Solrock and Lunatone...

    That made no sense, and it is on the same level as 'Pikachu, aim for the horn!'

    Also... Which pokemon evolves from Arbok? Seviper, according to the US dub.

    What's wrong with 'aim for the horn pikachu'? :|

    Your battle strategy would've been...?

  • @Zeta Dimensio: I believe that was the "Thunder armour" incident you described...Very strange indeed.
    @Pokéjungle: Um...Electric doesn't even touch ground types. I'd use a water/grass type pokémon...That's why it made no sense

    Doesn't his Pikachu have Iron Tail? Anyway, don't expect a show to be exactly like the game it's based off of. I heard Ash carried a Larvitar -- A pokemon that weighs hundreds of pounds -- on the back of his neck in once scene. That would have killed anything else.

    Pikachu learned Iron tail near the beginning Hoenn - the horrific 'horn' incident happened a while before this.


    In addition to the Larvitar thing - Max not only carried Munchlax on his back, he also leapt across rivers while carrying it. It weighs 105kg - Max, as a seven year old boy, should weigh around 23kg.

    WTF

    One I remember is a battle in the jotho saga... Scizor vs Ash's Heracross... the scizor's trainer says "scizor, FINISH it with FALSE SWIPE!!"

    epic fail xD

  • I never found any problem with the "Aim for the horn" thing, since in PMD an electric attack can hurt a ground type pokemon just like how a ghost attack can hurt a normal type pokemon.

    As well as in the Pokemon TCG. :]

    Misclick. Happens all the time. XD

    Anyways, that fight was still good though. The Johto Tournament fights were the only good Johto saga episodes.

    Max is really strong. Max was strong enough to pull Brock around by his ear. XD

  • I do like the Seviper one, and one from an episode I watched were Team Rocket are being zapped and James goes "It's times like this I wish I was straight." I know it was meant in the non-evil context, but some might confuse it.

    I just cannot help but wonder how many times Ash has to be reminded about type immunities.

    Ok this one takes the cake

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9Srh6pyyFs

    I think kids can tell the difference between a rice ball and a doughnut. This was hilarious when I saw it on TV for the first time (I was a little kid by then so you know... Im not that stupid (or was))

    I couldnt stop laughing when ash told bulbasaur to use whirlwind. I swear I was like "lulwut just happened? Did bulbasaur use a flying type move when he is obviously a grass/poison type?"

    Also when Ash was fighting Brock's onix shouldnt pikachu's thunderbolt have done nothing? I mean rock is immune to electric right?
