Hi mate. I made this account just to nerd rage on you.
First off, this is not a reboot. There is also no such thing as a HALF reboot at all. How can you possibly half reboot a series? It just makes no sense. One thing that bugged me was when Ash did throw a Pokéball at that pink Pokémon before attacking. WHy did he do it? CAUSE IT'S ASH, he is a frickin retard and has always been!
There is nothing stating this is a reboot, there is no such things as half reboots either. The fact he still has his Pikachu, still knows IRON TAIL, VOLT TACKLE and all those moves he did learn before Best Wishes just proves enough that you are so wrong. Also Giovanni says that TR's old Pokémon won't be used. Why? Cause they are infiltrating a new area and need to use Unova region Pokémon to blend in.
I just think you are a hardcore fan of the anime and can't accept that some things have changed. I don't liek Ash's new look, i hate the eyes for god's sake! But this still does not make anything a reboot.
SO just drop it mate.
The Best Wishes series is not related to the Diamond and Pearl series in anyway,it also does not matter about Ash's trophies are that Teddiursa model in Ash's room that May gave him,the Best Wishes series is not a continuation to the Diamond and Pearl series ,and if you want to keep thinking that it really is then that is ok by me.
Rizefall.You don't need to be a jerk about your opinions and you need to drop it because you don't know what you are talking about,Pikachu having the same attacks does not mean the BW series is not a reboot,you can say that this series is not a reboot and that is your stupid opinions and Giovanni did say they couldn't used their old pokemon,which means they will only be able to used Unova pokemon for now on.If you don't like Ash's new look then don't watch the show then,it is a reboot deal with it.
Psyanic.Team Rocket are not the same characters like they were in the past,they are more smarter and more serious,you can tell that this series is a reboot wether you believe it are not,if that don't prove anything to you then i don't know what will.
The Best Wishes series is pretty much a reboot anybody can tell that it is, i don't know why it is hard for some to see that it is a reboot.
How is it not related? This is the same type of beginning of a new "Series" like when he went to the other regions. It happens here. IF you really want to belive that it's not related to DP. It's still part of the whole thing. About the moves it's still true. Why would Pikachu know the moves he did learn in the advanced generation.
And a reboot would indicate it is a reboot. Look at the first episode "I choose you" and compare it to this one. A reboot would have an episode that tells us why Ash goes on the journey. How he got Pikachu, how Pikachu knows all those moves, how Ash knows Prof.Oak, and tons of other things
-Oak mentioning how Unova is different to Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh. = Is this not obvious?
- Professor Oak mentions that Tracey has some advice for Ash on his next gym battle in the phonecall. = He would not just say Tracy like we know who he is (which we do) if we don't. Ash would have to wonder who Tracy is but he KNOWS who Tracy is.
-
Team Rocket having other Pokémon = Cause they are infiltrating a new region and does not want to get attention cause they have foreign Pokémon of other regions.
- Things in his room = Also shows it is a continuation, how? Well how else did he get them? A reboot does not start in the middle of things, they never have or never will.
This season is just a homage to the original series. Look at the first few episodes and compare some events to the original. It is there and if you want real proof or just wanna read about best wishes just do it Bulbapedia.
There it clearly says:
The
Best Wishes series is the fourth series of the Pokémon anime,
following after the Diamond & Pearl series, and based on the events of the Generation V games. As with both the Advanced Generation and Diamond & Pearl series before it, the Best Wishes series begins with only Ash Ketchum, headed off to a new region with his Pikachu. Much like before, his previous female companion, Dawn, has left the series. Instead, Ash now travels through Unova with a girl by the name of Iris. Unlike the previous three series, with the exception of the Orange Archipelago saga, Brock does not join him in his journey in Unova. Instead,
Ash now travels with one of the first Gym Leaders of Unova, Cilan. Don't tell me this info is not to be trusted just cause it is bulbapedia. Nothing you have said has any ground what so ever.
This series is not a reboot. A reboot would mean you want to REBOOT the series, make it different and want to make a new begginning with the concept intact. If we go into comics, we have the original "Amazing Spiderman" also there is a "Reboot"
(yes they DO call it a reboot as it starts at the "beginning) Called "Ultimate Spiderman". Which has the same concept but story and everything FROM THE BEGINNING is totatlly different.
Now if we look at Pokémon. How is it even close to the original? In the original first episode Ash is watching Pokémon battle on TV, he overslept, misses his time to get his Pokémon Gary is a douche and he gets another Pokémon, which is Pikachu. At that time Pikachu does not listen to Ash, don't know many kinds of moves. What happens is they get attacked by a flock of spearows (might be beedrills i'm not sure) and the way Ash shows he cares for Pikachu. He jumps up and saves Ash by doing a thundershock that knows them all down.
That is how he got Pikachu, how it all started and how they got to be such good friends as they both show they like each other and would help one an other when stuff got rough. Does any of that or similar stuff happens in Best Wishes? Nope nada ZERo. I can assure you, most kids who watch Pokémon right now have not even seen the Original. IF a reboot would happen it would be said several times, advertised. They would explain who Ash is, who this Pikachu is who prof oak is. Why he is going to the region.
Do you get it? It's not a reboot. It's not a reboot in anyway, nothing even shows that it is a reboot. The desginers just choose to change some stuff and so did the writers aswell. They are testing something new and let them do it. If you are trolling.. Then god bless you. If not, but sorry you need to seek help. The fact that you still say it's a reboot, then a HALFREBOOT (wtf is a half reboot) and that everything you tell us has no ground WHAT SO EVER, clearly shows you don't know what you are talking about.
Why are you doing this? Cause you can't stand the new look, you can't stand that once more he starts off like he has done twice already and this time no Pokémon or characters from before that he will meet or travel with. The thing about this is, we don't know that yet. They have talked about Tracy, more might happen. Just admit it. You wanted Ash and Brock to jump into the next region with their old Pokémon. But it did not happen. What i think they are doing is, as far as this anime has gone they wanted to make it look new and a little more "Kiddy" so new kids and existing kids would feel like they are getting something fresh. Also all this talk about Umbreaon and Ash not knowing how to catch a Pokémon. They have all reasonable expinations.
IF you still think you are right, that this is a reboot. Tell me why it is, explain all this stuff that shows it's not a reboot and get some ground with your "arguments" (which right now only is "this is a reboot woop woop"). I'm really looking forward to it.
