It's my favorite song from Pikachu's jukebox. I loved the part where Ash catches his Pigeotto.

I saw the Unova League battles on YouTube when Ash battles against Stephen and Cameron and they seem quite bland compared to Sinnoh, Kanto, and Johto Leagues. I enjoyed the rivalries between Ash and Gary/Paul. I felt Paul handled defeat exceptionally against Ash during the Sinnoh League. The...

An IQ that is more than 300 standard deviations from the US (the tests are usually standardized using a representative population from a developed country) mean... What does that mean. One must have a very very very large sample size to standardize a test that can measure 300 standard deviations...

Perhaps Pokemon can be seen as a rebellion against modernity.

Link to the test: https://www.outofservice.com/bigfive/ The test is based on the Big Five Personality traits: Openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. My results: O - 65 (percentile versus online sample size) C - 3 E - 3 A - 22 N - 90 A note...

How much gas is used in container ships used to ship all the stuff from China to the US? I will acknow;edge that shipping is more energy efficient per mile though, but it is still 8000 miles to go from China to a West Coast port. Great!! Increase the US trade deficit; shop at Wal-Mart...

In the poll, I asked whether the statement of my signature apply to you: "You're awful negative and pessimistic, but highly intelligent and level headed. You like to treat the world rather indifferently, watching with morbid interest as people ruin their lives so that you can say, I told you...

Why don't you worship a god? You might think that: a. God doesn't exist, so it is best not to worship a non-existent entity b. God is not worth worshiping even if he does exist c. agnosticism In the case of Arceus, he does exist in the Pokémon world so that eliminate A. However, let's say...

Yes, Sarkozy is a right-wing nationalist, like Pat Buchanan in the US. But I rather have right-wing nationalist who has some obligation to the welfare of his country ruling rather than the US right. (Hopefully, the right-wing nationalist would not be an incarnation of Hitler, Muossilini, or...

Yes, this an overtly political thread where I will show the superiority of a (relatively) left-wing country. Liberté, égalité, fraternité!!! Liberty, equality, and fraternity. https://www.ginandtacos.com/2009/12/24/because-we-wouldnt-want-to-be-like-france Also, look at the figure four...

There are ways that a inexperience Pokemon can defeat a experienced Pokemon. The best example is when Ash's Krabby/Kingler swept Mandi's team (Exeggutor, Seadra, and Golbat) despite the fact that Krabby had no previous battling experience, nor was Ash even familiar with its abilities.

If Pokémon were real, would you worship Arceus and renounce your religion (or convert if you are already an atheist/agnostic)? I would worship Arceus since he created the world, and he would make a rather cool god. I do not know if Arceus would be worth worshipping because he might be like a...

Well, maybe gym leaders have a quota of badges to give out. If they do not meet that quota, then they will use weaker Pokémon to battle trainers unless, as already pointed out, if the gym leader didn't like a particular trainer for being too arrogant. (Maybe Gary would have earned an Earth Badge...

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX was a successful spin-off? It was more light-hearted than the original, but I disliked most of it (except the Hell Kaiser Ryo and Amon Garam) episodes. 5D's was a better spin off and it is in the tone of the original series. On another note, I think the YGO! dubbed failed because...

What do you want in the anime? Do you want better character development/complex characters? Do you want a better plot? Or a greater emphasis on world-building meaning that the show focuses more on the details of the setting: the Pokémon world.
