They go to Johto to fight the Battle frontier, then they do gen 5, where Dawn is replaced by yet another girl who dreams of being a coordinator, RIP Misty/May
Thank you for always stating the anti-fanboy obvious. :)
Just because the 13th movie features the birds of Johto, doesn't mean they're going to go to Johto. The Palmer announcment probably derails the whole argument anyways.
Besides, even if you think 2nd gen was TEHBESTGENEVER!!!11!1one!11uno!1eleventy!11!!!11, the anime's journey though it sucked and you're delusional if you deny it...
EDIT: The last time I saw it on YTV, this Canadian saw Ash beating Byron, eh.
For the record, this was in July...not long after Ash actually beat him by the time it aired on CN. :>
This is why I love forums. People who don't know what they're talking about complain about things that don't make sense.
Yes, and I love being able to point out their foibles and create lulz.
I suspect we'll have another stall region, like BF or OI, myself. Maybe we'll go bug Orre for a while, or something.
I disagree with that. In fact, I have the exact opposite feelings in regards to being able to point out people's foibles and create "lulz".
I was once sent to the hall of shame on BMGf, and it wasn't even for anything serious. The only reason I was sent there on May the 28th of 2008 was because I was a Misty fan who tried to bring her back onto the show. I wanted to help my fellow Misty fans on that club by proposing to boycott the franchise, and you want to know how some of these fans "repaid" me? They stabbed me in the back and sent me to that place where many of their comments, teases, and mockeries of both Misty and myself felt worse than anything Hell could provide anyone. In fact, I felt like I was in Hell. What's even worse is that the BMGf Kasumi, one of the biggest Misty fans and especially a Co-owner of said club, was one of the people responsible for that incident.
In fact, it was partially that incident was well as the mods on SPPf's behaviors that I was extremely distrustful of mods.
I was just being facetious, there. Given your experiences, I can understand why you would feel that way.
Then again, I think we've had a good back-and-forth, you and me, haven't we? I've treated you the same as everyone else, right? Duly noted about your attitudes toward Mods.
I'm not saying or meaning that I am distrusting of all mods. I know Medea was probably one of the better mods, and she's one of my friends as well. And you're a good friend as well, and some of the mods on LAF as well as WFW are pretty good mods as well, but in general, I have been distrusting of them.
After Sinnoh, Pikachu will become even more powerful, but doesn't really care about battling. That's Ash's job.
And then, we can all have a laugh at the rat's expense in how it may replicate the Regice/Elekid wankery.
Of course, we didn't know, at the time, Paul was an experienced badass, so.
Well, even if he was an experienced bad@$$, I can't say his Elekid was experienced (it seemed to evolve, and most pokemon, when they decide not to evole, will not evolve, period. And personally, I felt that it was kinda silly that Elekid was able to match Pikachu despite his inexperience, even IF it's trainer is experienced.
Think of it in the shoes of an NFL basketball coach deciding to replace his old team with a new one. The team would not be able to succeed on their first (few) tries in a Basketball game even with a seasoned coach directing them. That's why I feel that it really was silly to have Elekid tie to Pikachu.
Plus, unlike Dragonite and Metagross before it, Pikachu actually defeated Regice rather than just giving it the finishing blow.

Silly then, silly now. No argument here. But, you're right in how Pikachu beat Regice all on its own. I thought the Elekid battle was an odd one, anyway. Especially in the aftermath of the Regice episode, however one feels about it.
Or, they just don't think ahead too much.
Pikachu's a glass cannon though. Even though it KO'd Regice, it got one shot by Gary's E-vire and Paul's Elekid. Paul then went on to get stomped by Pyramid King Brandon.
Yeah, but Pokemon =/= Basketball. Pokemon's more about match up rather than the DBZ style powerscaling. I mean, a Shedninja would lose to a Torchic's ember, but it would solo both Palkia and Dialga.
Pikachu got a critical hit. It happens a lot when you play in the Battle Frontier. That's why I bring pokemon with Battle Armor, which blocks critical hits.
The writers downgraded Pika since they thought Pikachu was overpowered back then, seeing how Ash beat the Hoenn gym leaders so easily.
Ash only lost to Gary since he didn't know about E-Vire's Motor Drive ability. Later on though, Pikachu was seen T-bolting an E-Vire in the opening of The Rise of Darkrai. In a rematch, Ash would probably stomp Gary.
