    What are your thoughts on this new video from PRB12?



    I like it when he points out notable flaws in the SM anime, and why it's so different than the other series. He knows what works and what doesn't when it comes to the anime, and that's why I respect his content.

    Just wanted to elaborate on what I said in Capture/Release thread regarding my dream involving Bonnie and Misty. It centers around this idea that the Kalos gang reunites in Pallet Town post Alola and Serena intends to enter the Indigo League to try and impress Ash. Therefore Ash decides to tag along as a semi-coach in a way but gets the bug to re-challenge the Gyms like you can do in later games.

    Anyways, when they reach Cerulean Gym, Bonnie thinks Misty is really cute/beautiful and pulls the wife gag. Misty doesn't know what to do at first because she's not used to the flattery but ultimately realizes what's going on and reacts like she did when the boy asked her out on a date in Pokemon Chronicles. Thankfully Clemont saves the day by pulling her away like always before the scene cuts to Misty saying hello to Ash. Long story short, Serena manages to pull out of Misty that she likes Ash and Serena challenges Misty to a Gym Battle with an extra stipulation that whomever wins gets Ash.

    Kind of a fan-fiction idea but certainly one people would go for.

    PRB12’s review of 69 is just priceless. His video title alone makes it worth watching.

    Here's some interesting coincidence regarding our detestable Sophocles. Due to his fear of the dark, there is a reason he may have sought out Kanto Raichu when visiting Professor Oak's Lab. Raichu's Pokedex description from Yellow Version: "When Electricity builds up inside its body, it becomes feisty. It also glows in the dark." Although Togedemaru essentially fills the same role, its the coincidence that counts.

    It also made PokeAni history for being the first episode where one of the Team Rocket trio appears without the other two. James appeared but not Jessie and Meowth.

    Episode 68 comes and goes with “Ashley” making a reappearance. Interesting how they “pounced” on Ash, although some people might find the Episode crosses a line with regards to Hazing. Complete filler Episode, although it sheds light that Team Skull is not completely rotten.

    I'm only 40 or so Episodes in and already I prefer the Japanese dub over the 4Kids variant. Original Soundtrack is used more along with the "banned" Episodes. The one involving Porygon I can understand(all the bright lights probably did cause seizures), but the one involving Dratini was hardly what I'd call controversial. Was a big plot Episode seeing as Ash catches 30 Tauros and highlights the only Dragon type in the Franchise up to that point(plus it explains TR's obsession with Dratini in the Duplica Episode that occurs a few Episodes later). Another reason I'm liking the Japanese dub is the banter between Kasumi(Misty) and Musashi(Jesse). Kasumi calls Musashi an old lady so Musashi retaliates by calling her flat chested(bringing up the "Beach Episode" and the Beauty Contest that they edited). I mean they allow stuff like that but they won't show a kiss between Satoshi and Serena. Sigh...

    Anyways, I hope to crack through some more Episodes soon and make my way towards Orange Islands and Johto. From what I've been reading about future series is that the soundtrack is used far more and what you hear in certain Episodes is different than the English dub. Completely changes a viewer's perception frankly.

    While it is nice Ash finally got a "legendary" (if you consider UBs as that), the fact it had to go to the buffoon, childish and clumsy SM incarnation of Ash is what makes it sad.

    I started a long term project or goal to watch the entire Pokemon anime in its native dub with subs as opposed to the English Dub. Mostly to see how much influence 4Kids had but also to see the unique intro/endings that we don’t get to see here in the States. I mean outside of Pokemon Sun and Moon(and a few select XY/XYZ Episodes), I’ve been relegated to the English Dub. Going to do this so as to get a different viewpoint on each series so that when I finish I can post a new ranking. Who knows, I may put Diamond and Pearl #1.

    Also pissed Ash got Poipole in a series that disgraces the Franchise. If it were XY or another series I wouldn’t feel so disgusted but the fact it’s Sun and Moon... ugh why did it have to be this one.

    Also PRB12's latest Q&A was hilarious. He kills Whitney as a mini-spoiler.

    Figure I'd wish you congrats on 7 years. Got 100 posts to go though for 50k.

    Yeah Ash is Slowbro incarnate. Ironic how he mocked Misty's Psyduck for being "slow".

    I do have a bad feeling that Ash developed amnesia when he came to Alola hahaha

    Yet in the Summer camp Episodes in Sinnoh(and again in Kalos), Ash wasn't such an imbecile compared to what he is in Sun and Moon. Heck his Black&White incarnation frankly wasn't this bad. It also shows a clear lack of acknowledgement by the writers of previous series/regions when Ash has seen this(Poke Ping-Pong) before back in Sinnoh and has commented about past experiences(such as Dawn's Piplup when they go to an Aquarium in the Kalos region). It also riled me a bit that Ilima had no recollection of Ash in Kalos despite him being there. Now its entirely possible they were there at different times but considering the events of the previous series... I seriously doubt that.

    It's like what happened in the PokeBase episode, it showed that Ash is extremely useless and stupid when it comes to sports.
