Yet pokemon fan 132 has painted a very different picture, one that depicts Misty as a developed and interesting character in Johto who was embraced by the fans... Obviously neither party can speak for the entire community but Gliscor'd has pretty much hit the nail right on the head. The general...

Just because something changes doesn't mean it's good. (Although the same arguement could be made for the opposite.) I agree, Brock did go stale due to lack of continuing the same tired routine week after week. However, that doesn't automatically mean that the development Misty received (If you...

A small portion of my hope for the future generations of this world just slipped away. I cannot even begin to say how annoyed I am to have read this.

I don't think I've ever met someone in the Pokemon Community who defends post-Togepi Misty with so much... dedication, I guess? I struggle to understand how anyone could have enjoyed her shift in character, but I suppose at the end of the day it's all down to personal preference. Just like some...

Urgh, that always, always annoys me every single time I rewatch those episodes. There is no way that Ash could have forgotten that fact about Psyduck - it was sloppy writing to ensure that Misty got further. How bad would it have looked if Ash, without ever focusing on Water Pokemon, beat Misty...

Yes, but here we're talking about an opponent who is using a Pokemon with a huge type advantage and who specialises in defeating Dragon type Pokemon. The only thing we can hope for is that it's a very close battle, otherwise Georgia is going to look like an utter chump.

Correct me if I'm wrong (I may have misunderstood.) but it seems that Iris is facing Dawn in the next round, meaning that she wins this battle. Isn't Dragonite also supposed to be similar to Charizard in that it disobeys her? So not only does Georgia have a huge type advantage, has more...

The Top 8 in a tournament with no prior entry requirements (Such as Gym Badges.) isn't really that impressive.

Re: BW092(?): Iris' Dragonite VS Dawn's Mamoswine! Just as Dawn beat May, Iris will beat Dawn. Your tears, they will be delicious.

Okay, so Misty was popular. I'm not disputing that, so were all the characters back then - it was Pokemon in the height of its fad! It's not exactly an impressive feat to be "popular" and "accepted" when there are no alternatives or prior expectations to live up to. How in the world was she...

I still wonder to this day when half way through the Hoenn League, they suddenly started rushing it to get to the Battle Frontier. There was literally no need for the latter half of that tournament to be battles consisting of one-shots. (Pokemon A hits Pokemon B with attack. It's down!) Johto...

No, because then it would be the "What do you wish would happen in the Pokemon anime" thread. Out of all the possible theories in this fandom, Giovanni being Ash's father is far, FAR from the most impossible. You say it was made impossible because there wasn't a scene in Mewtwo Returns? If...

I like how you say that Misty had "quality not quantity" despite the fact that the exact opposite is true. Misty appeared in far more episodes than May and Dawn did and achieved far less. Even if you say that what she did achieve was better/of higher quality than May or Dawn... well, you could...

I think... you're missing the point of "head canon" somewhat. The majority of (Acceptable.) head canon are at least somewhat plausible, while this is just plain wrong. There are other words I could use, but I'm trying to stay PG. We know Ash never had a talking Persian travelling companion in...

There was a reason I started drifting away from the anime during the D/P era and you've pretty much summed it up right here. I just couldn't get into the majority of the episodes due to the dullness of the cast, both trio and rivals alike. (I actually despise characters like Barry with a...
