I not sure I haven't been in this from the beginning. |
51
I'm 95% sure that's how it goes when we restart. |
50
You restated a couple back and started it at 49 if I remember right? |
51
I started at 49? D: I don't remember :( |

It wasn't you I was thinking of when I saw this post awhile back sorry. |

Haha, I was like whaat!? I gave a point down for Pikachu? :( xP |
50
He needed that point down, lol |
51
That reminds me, he doesn't post here anymore :P |
52.
He comes and goes from the shadows. I suppose it fits his username as it's a name of a dark Pokemon. |
51
Because There's way better pokemanz out there!! What if this were to turn into a full scale battle of the starters, lets say the starters, and every poster can give one up vote per post and 1 down vote per post... Then things would get hectic.... |
50
Good another hater joined us for the fight. |
49
I wouldn't say I'm a hater, just that he's overrated :P |
48
I think the same way when it comes to that rat. |
49
A mouse, RNC! :D xD |
48
No it's a nasty rat lol |
49
It's a cute lovable mouse :( |
48
And what's sad id I am giving berries right now to a pichu to get the nasty rat for some one for a request. |
49
Such an adorable Pokemon line ♥ |
48
I like pichu, just not pikachu. |
49
Come On Pikachu Lover's! Come On!!! |
48
It's getting rather boring, seeing it win every time. Let's put some ground type moves in. |
49
A surfing Pikachu says no. |
48
So Pikachu escapes to the sea, surfing the whole time. Unfortunately the Tangrowth there don't seem to like what it's doing, since Pikachu is disturbing their rest. So they destroy the surfing board and since Pikachu can't swim it's got some serious problems :P |
49
But Pikachu can make another board :C |
48
Not, if it is out in the water :P |
49
What? Ofc, he can ._. |
48
If he's lucky he might find some driftwood before the Sharpedos come, but as far as I can see that's his only hope :P |
49
No not really. Pikachu can make his own surfboard by using substitute. |
XD That's hilarious! You're just determined to see Pikachu win aren't you :P
48 Subchu accidentally surfs on normal pikachu and all fails miserably :P |
49
Whaa.. Clearly someone hasn't read the Pokemon Adventures manga yet :P |
48
Who likes to read these days? |
49
Depends what you're reading :D |
48
Sorry about the delay, Thunder kept connecting to me. |
47
Substitute weakens his user and also its only purpose is to take hits, but you forgot that there are many Tentacool and Tentacruel out there, who will attack it. In the end, Pikachu wouldn't be able to surf on its substitute for long :P |
48
You should see Pikachu surf, Tentacool and Tentacruel are no problem for him at all. |
49. Psh, who reads manga these days is the better question XD
|
50
Manga books produces around 3.6 Billion dollars in Japan Around 60% of books sold in Europe are mangas In Canada, it generates around 175 million dollars in sales Market is worth 250 million dollars in middle East Still need more info? ;) |
51. Nope. Seems like a lot of people enjoy boring things XD
|
52.
Another man's trash is another man's treasure. |
53. That is a very true statement.
|
54.
It's really sad how people think books and mangas and so forth are boring and such and prefer video games over them. :( I want to shock them with a Pikachu. |
55
I love reading books and reading mangas. It's fun to learn stuffs that you're really interested in and also the Pokemon Adventures manga is like 100x better than the anime! :D I still have yet to read Electric Tale of Pikachu. I used to have the first volume from a Pokemon convention we had at my local mall =/ |
56.
Back from '09-'10 I pretty much declared myself the number #1 Red (the Pokemon Special/Adventures version) fangirl. I don't anymore but my personal/ego emblem is kind of like a tribute to that time I guess?? |
57. Oh I love reading books, I despise manga though. Probably because I find manga to be too... How can I put this without offending... Well, just flat out boring and uninteresting XD
|
58
58 Really? What manga did you read? Maybe it's the manga itself that wasn't good or something? I myself prefer anime over manga since I can see the action in play, but if the story is better in the manga compared to the anime, like Pokemon (Both Electric Tale of Pikachu & Pokemon Adventure), I'll take the manga over the anime anyday. |
59.
I tend to go to manga when there is an animation adaption just because it would be easier to go through and thus less time consuming. But depends on how close the two adaptions are and so forth. With Pokemon Special and the anime I've learned that they're both special in their own ways and learned to not hate one because I adore the other. So in the end I like both the manga and the animation. |
60
I love to read but I've never really been that into manga. |
61
They have some manga that I find are better than the anime when they're the same thing. For example, Dragonball Z. It has good fighting scenes in the anime but sometimes they just drag it for way too long, whereas the manga just gets right to the point of the story and doesn't take like 5 episodes to turn into super saiyan. |
62.
Completely agree with you on Dragonball Z. Actually not sure if I ever read Z but I know I read Dragonball which I found the manga to be better than the anime. I tend to go to manga with any anime that tends to have a lot of fillers too, so I don't have to sort through the fillers and also be farther along with the story. But honestly, I haven't done anything anime/manga/etc related. I need to catch up on a lot of things like the Pokemon Anime, maybe read the latest Pokemon Special Arc, Naruto, Detective Conan, etc ... |
63
Naruto's anime got a crap load of fillers, but the anime got better fight scenes, so I watch the anime for the fight scenes =/ |
62.
I think pikachu is cool but there are so many others who would do as a better mascot. Charmander, larvitar, togepi being a few examples. |
63.
I have no problem with Pikachu as the mascot, but its base stats should've been higher. |
64.
Togepi and Larvitar weren't until the second generation. As for Charmander if that happened we likely wouldn't have gotten a Yellow version since there was already Red version. I think they picked a good choice as the mascot but of course people will always be around to disagree. |
63
As far as I have heard, Larvitar existed in gen one but was excluded of the games, because of insufficient free space on the cardridges. So its existence was delayed till second gen. |
64
So are talking about Ash's Pikachu or Pikachu as a species? If we where talking about Ash's Pikachu i'd say something along the lines of: "Pikachu with Ash is sort of the epitome of Pokemon forming bonds with their trainers." |
65
I actually love the bond between Ash & Pikachu. It's probably the strongest friendship in the whole anime, I love it. |
64
The bond between Ash and Pikachu. It's like the bond between that characterless representive of the Pokemon games and that overrated Pokemon which only purpose is to represent the Pokemon. So it's more the bond between two clichees :P |
63, *prods pikachu with stick*. Ash is stupid. Pikachu is stupid. Together, they make... DEAD MAGIKARP!
|
62
I hate coming in here and seeing these #'s this high! |
63. I love these numbers. And you helped us win last time RNC, so you must like the higher numbers ;P
|
64
I am here for the Pikafans! |
63 and I'm not sure I could put it any better than chaoticlapras did. Enjoy his legendary way with words below.

62
I don't think, high numbers are good for Pikachu. So let's do our best, to get the number down :P |
63.
Sigh I really wish people would bring in legitimate reasons rather than 'Ash is stupid, Pikachu is stupid' etc. |
62
Unfortunately that's true. I think, a new mascot would be better, though. Pikachu is one Pokemon of the first gen and since that time, the number of Pokemon drastically increased. Considering this number (which hasn't stoped increasing) and thus the way Nintendo is going it'd be great if they chose to change the mascot in every generation. I mean let's face the truth: all people who grew up with the first gen don't like the new seasons (of the anime) and since Nintendo wants to get new fans among the kids they should change the representing Pokemon depending on every gen. Pikachu is nothing more than a remaining of gen one and the first season of the anime. |
63.
I don't think Nintendo would ever do that though. They like to stick with the same mascot 5ever. |
64
is it safe to say that if nintendo or whoever makes the anime chose to use someone else as Ash's main companion the haters would be hatin on it instead |
63
Well haters gonna hate. At least there would be some variety. Also it would make a little more sense than Pikachu getting weak again in every new season. |
62, yawn. *enjoys my legndary way with words* *sings david bowie - rubber band*
|

64
With me on Pikachu team, this race will always favor in the Pikachu lover's side :) |
63
Then why not you just leave LilJ? |
64
Because I always support Pikachu :) |
63
It wouldn't be any fun on this if you weren't in here any ways. |
64
You actually make it more fun too! Anyways it would be too easy for Pikachu to win =/ |
65
But he will anyways :) |
64
Seeing Pikachu win is like watching the anime. It looks fun at first but the more it happens, the boringer it gets. Repetition is never fun. :P |
65
Pikachu is great, every time I see Pikachu I instantly get all nostalgic and remember back to the first series I watched religiously as a kid. ^^ |
66
Pikachu is great. Such agility and strenght packed into one little tiny body :D |
65
You talking about competetive play? 1. its attack power is greater than its special attack power, but most of its attacks are special based 2. using light ball (which is mostly the only way to make it usefull) takes the item spot, so there's no variety to boost it otherwise 3. Lightningrod is an ability for Pikachu which is only accessable by Dream World, Static isn't that much of a use 3. it may be faster but isn't much of a tank (so substitute is really needed) 4. Hidden Power Ice: who the hell invests so much time to get the right typing and a good strength of this attack? 5. even with all this combined it's only useful in NU (but rarely seen) Yeah, I did a little research :P |
66
So much hate on Pikachu competitively, haha. My Pikachu on my Heart Gold team never let me down in a competitive battle. You just don't know how to train your Pikachu well enough ;P |
67.
I don't care about playing competitively so I don't care much about any of that. :'D |

66
Just like Binary, I also don't care about playing competitively so to me Pikachu is pretty awesome. :) |
67
Cute little bugger, that Pikachu ♥ |
67.
I feel like I should go and put on one of my two Pikachu shirts now. |
66
I can't decide if I'd rather play Darksiders or train my team in Pokemon White... Well, my star Pokemon needs a little bit training, though... Also PMD4 is being released in about a week (at least where I live). I don't know, why they did that considering that I've already watched a whole LP of the main story. xD As far as I've seen, Pikachu is one of the playable Pokemon, again...it makes me kinda sad. |
67.
I'm not sad about Pikachu being a playable Pokemon. I'm sad about the immense lack of Pokemon species in the newest PMD. Even Pokemon Conquest had more Pokemon! |
68
Oshawott is also a playable character, so I'd be truly satisfied should I play it. |
69.
I don't know if I'll ever buy the game. But if I do, I'll go with Axew and Pikachu. |
68
OMG Axew!!! <3 he's amazong in my White team! that said, I think PMD4 is just too........ 3D I suppose for me, I loved the feel of the older ones. I just feel like the bigger graphics and from what I've heard way easier gameplay is just...... too childish :( I think I'll stick to the older ones, cause they were awesome :) |
69
Just when you mention 3D, I wonder how X and Y are going to fair. For me anyway, I've never played XD: Gale of Darkness or the Colosseum game so this will be the first 3D Pokemon game I'll be playing, hopefully it doesn't feel to wierd. :) |
I tried PMD: Explorers of Time and it's pretty good, just that sometimes it's just so annoying... I also played Colosseum & XD. I wanna try out PMD: Gates of Infinity & I hope I'll get Pokemon Y.
|
Quote:
I was going to say, have you even played it? Because (pretty early on might I say) you can go into something called 'companion mode' and take on any requests with any Pokemon you want to be. So yeah. I loved the new PMD and I wish people would actually pick it up and give it a chance before judging it. |
Quote:
For me, the main problem is the lack of Pokemon species. But in Pokemon Conquest, that was no big deal, because a lot of my favourites were in that game. |
71
Well, I'm going to by it anyway. I've watched a whole LP of it and since I like what I saw, all is good. xD I think I won't choose Snivy, I don't know in Pokemon White it wasn't that useful, had good defense, but thats all. Neither Snivy nor Pikachu, I'd rather say :P |
72
We don't get to choose our Pokemon randomly anymore? |
73.
Eh. There are plenty of Pokemon species to me. And even if there is a lack of them it just tells you to choose to use different Pokemon for once. All the Pokemon level up whether or not they're with you on a request so none of them really fall behind/gets left at level 5 forever. |
72
They took out the random Pokemon generator on the beginning of the game, for some reason. Well, fine by me, since in the last PMD (Blue Rescue Team) I've played, I've restarted multiple times to get the starter I wanted (dunno which one it was, though) xD |
73.
fine by me as well. I just picked Pikachu and Oshawott (because I liked my Water/Electric combo in Explorer of Sky) and went on my merry way. Though when I went through the game I realized that Tepig might have been a better choice. |
