Hey, Little Hero? The last few episodes of XYZ have already aired, and probably by tomorrow, the ratings for all of them will probably be posted, yet there hasn't been any activity in the thread. Since I'm likely still barred from the Anime thread, can you post them? Don't want the thread to be shut down from inactivity, that's all.
Little Hero, think you can post the ratings on the Pokémon Ratings Part 3 thread next week up until, I don't know, December, maybe March? I don't think I'll be able to do so for a while thanks to getting six infractions and my for some reason not being able to access the Anime boards, let alone the Pokémon Ratings thread.
Hi there. Well Misty at end of Johto was called by older sisters to go back to gym and take care of it since they left on a cruise trip. Misty didn't wanted to go and almost began ti cry wanting to stay with Ash and pursue her dream of becoming water pokemon mater but had no choice and returned. Because otherwise gym would be shut down. Later in chronicles Misty remained Cerulean gym leader but it was mostly due to careless sisters not wanting to take care of it with Misty being saddened and expressing desire t travel again and advance her dreams. Still she restored Cerulean gym reputation and was proud of her achievements, but writers left her goal of becoming water master, relationship with Ash and many other things unfinished with future being left undefined. And ever since than Misty wasn't seen with writers leaving her story unresolved treating her unfairly sadly.
A friend of mine told me he's heard of this before back in 2008, and they predicted that the Japanese would be extinct by 2014, which didn't came true, so he finds that article you linked complete bull.
The Japanese won't have to worry about the kids anymore, because I hear their population is decreasing due to an aging population and little desire to have children, which could put them on the endangered species list.
Replying to your post about Pokémon not being cool to new kids, here in the U.S., the new kids are only interested in M-rated shooters like Call of Duty and Battlefield, and they ruin the fun of the games' targeted audience.
