    Are we really abusing the term "Mary Sue/Gary Stu" for the Anime characters?

    None of the characters in the anime can be a Mary Sue or a Gary Sue, because it's an improper usage of the term. They're only used for Fanfiction, where someone places their own character into the universe, makes them perfect, makes them have some kind of unique quirk that does not fit in with...

    5th Gen Too many dragons

    Dragon type is somewhat appropriate for a legendary pokemon, but the fact that there are a great deal of mythological creatures that are as powerful, elusive, and "legendary" as a dragon, I feel that the constant addition of them somewhat cheapens their quality. Dragons are wicked, dragon...

    Is it me or New pokemons are getting less creative??

    Perhaps, but you're still entitled to my opinion about not liking them :laugh: (though the majority of them I like. I think the only one I can actually say I hate, because it looks so ugly it's not even funny, is the garbage pokemon).

    Is it me or New pokemons are getting less creative??

    It's not that they're wearing clothes that's the problem (though the clothes are not at all detailed, and do not really stand out significantly), it's the feeling they give in regards to the clothes. Nageki and Dageki seem to look out of place in their gi's while the three you've mentioned...

    Is it me or New pokemons are getting less creative??

    I'll say this from the start, I like some designs from each generation and I dislike some from each generation. There are also designs that I think are absolutely awesome (Gen IV starters) that I've seen lots of people dislike. The opposite is also true, where some designs a lot of people think...

    5th Gen Where is Isshu? Confirmed - New York

    Actually, Long Island is part of New York City. But if you're saying it's not part of NYC, then in Isshu, there should be no landmass on the river to the east of Hiun city. If you're talking about Nassau and Suffolk counties, that is not part of NYC (although it is New York Metropolitan area)...

    5th Gen Where is Isshu? Confirmed - New York

    Shanghai matches up with Isshu near perfectly without having to cut off any significant landmass. In this case, we should use Occam's Razor: "Of two equivalent theories or explanations, all other things being equal, the simplest one with the fewest assumptions is best." Apply this to the...

    5th Gen Where is Isshu? Confirmed - New York

    The American Football player is not evidence for 1 simple reason. You know the Belle & Pa trainer in Sinnoh? Clearly they weren't based off anyone in Japan. They look like Southern U.S. Ranchers. So I guess because there's Southern U.S. Ranchers in Sinnoh, it's actually based on Texas...

    5th Gen Where is Isshu? Confirmed - New York

    Didn't work for me when I tried before, I don't think it would work for him. It's somewhat similar to both, but what breaks the NYC theory is Long Island. The eastern portion of Isshu looks nothing at all like Long Island in terms of shape.

    5th Gen Where is Isshu? Confirmed - New York

    Gridiron is the umbrella term to refer to American Football, because lots of other countries actually play football (soccer) and need another name to refer to American "Football". The field is also called the Gridiron in the U.S. So I'm not sure why you're confused. And Umbrella can't post the...

    5th Gen Where is Isshu? Confirmed - New York

    See that landmass to the east of the east river and downtown NYC? That's Long Island, and it is significantly larger than the eastern portion of Isshu. Hiun city is the furthest point south in Isshu (that we can see, the land to the west of the western bay on Isshu is further, but as far as we...

    5th Gen Where is Isshu? Confirmed - New York

    No, it fits Shanghai more geographically. The biggest issue in the geography department is Long Island. It doesn't match up at all with the eastern portion of Isshu.

    5th Gen Where is Isshu? Confirmed - New York

    There are Gridiron players in Canada who wear the exact same equipment. There are Gridiron players all around the world who wear the exact same equipment. Isshu fits Shanghai more (geographically) than New York, especially when you compare it to Hokkaido and Sinnoh being based on each other...

    5th Gen Where is Isshu? Confirmed - New York

    The shape of it geographically is significantly closer to that of Shanghai than of New York's. And if you're going to say that it's not the right shape, then Sinnoh and Hoenn are not the right shape to match Hokkaido and Kyushu respectively. The fact remains, that they are close enough in shape...

    5th Gen Where is Isshu? Confirmed - New York

    You do realize it's a joke right? Anyways, I have 15 posts now, so here's my write up that I wanted to add a few posts back. If we're going on the basis of Shape, then you should look at this. Here we have an image of Shanghai superimposed over that of Isshu... Apart from the size of...
