TMs are portrayed as CDs. How do you exactly insert one into a Pokemon that isn't tech based? My theory is that the Pokemon is actually stored in a PC and you put the TM into the computer's CD-ROM drive that will activate a program to ask you what compatible Pokemon you want to use the move and...

Out of all of the Pokemon actually owned by Jessie and James, it was Jessie's Wobbuffet that stood out the most. In fact, he stood out so much that he pretty much became the 4th member of the team on par with the TRio, getting into disguises and spending most if not all of his time outside his...

Do we know of any physically disabled trainers in Pokemon canon? Blind, deaf, wheelchair-bound? The only I can think of is that deaf trainer in Pokemon Live. And that brings about a further question: How do you go on a Pokemon journey if your body is hampered in some waY Are there alternative...

I was watching Episode 0 of the latest Lupin III anime (It's a tribute episode to one of the voice actors retiring, hence the 0). At one point, two characters get into an argument with one another shown via split screen and Lupin tries break it quite literally by pushing away the two screens...

Assuming you modified your house to account for elemental powers, which Pokemon would you keep as non-battle pets?

If Ash's or his companion's Pokemon could speak, what would you think they would sound like? I don't mean in terms of their actual voice but rather what their dialogue would look like. For example, I like to think Sirfetch'd sounds like an honorable warrior whose verbose speeches are played for...

Did Misty ever actually capture Togepi? She was always holding the thing. Yeah, Ash's Pikachu is never in his Pokeball but it is established to exist. If I didn't know any better, I would say that Togepi is a wild Pokemon that stays with Misty due to the whole imprinting thing. Is there any...

This thread is about stuff you like about Journeys so far. Mine is the focus of characterization. We have learned a lot about Goh and Chloe over a short time. Each of Ash's Pokemon has a distinct personality and even Goh's multiple Pokemon kept at Cerise Park got a chance to shine in JN023...

As some fans have noticed, Chloe has gotten more attention in the past two episodes and the upcoming one as well. This has led to speculation that she may join Ash and Goh on their journies in the future. Let's say that this is indeed the case, even if she doesn't join Ash and Goh every single...

Anime has been known to put in references to other anime or just Japanese culture in general, be it subtle or obvious, and Pokemon is no different. In Kanto, they were all over the place because the creators had no idea it would reach a global audience. By Johto, they had lessened but still...

So has Go mentioned anything about his family at all? In previous series, Ash had had companions where we saw their families and their dynamics, especially in Sun and Moon. The only ones I can think of where that wasn't the case was Tracy and Iris, the former because he was a quick (if...

The thread is basically how evolution is handled in anime. How it looks, when it is used etc. However, a scene from the first animated trailer of the 2019 anime got me thinking about one aspect of evolution I never really thought about before: How the Pokemon react to their evolutions. Now...

This thread is for discussing the script writers of the anime both past and present. Who are your favorites? Do you notice any patterns in the episodes they write? Let me start of by saying that Junki Takegami seemed to love writing stories about familial strife. Brock in his debut, the Sabrina...

In May 2006, Ikue Otani was on maternity leave. Due to this, characters from anime she worked on like One Piece had to get temporary actresses until she came back. That wasn't the case for Pikachu since had made enough recordings for them to reuse. I think that says a lot about the character...

Most Pokemon battles in the anime take place in wide open spaces. This is not only reminiscent of the games but also a lot of other anime. However, there are times when battles take place in a more unique looking environment and the Pokemon use that to their advantage. Two examples I can think...

I heard that during AG, there was no one credited as "series composition" or the head writer. So between the times of Takeshi Shudo quitting during Johto and Atsuhiro Tomioka taking over in DP, no one was telling these writers what to do (besides directors and producers)? That would certainly...

How do you think the Kanto Gyms and their leaders would have been handled if they were done like the later gyms of BW and XY? You know what I mean. No pity badges, the gym leaders (main characters aside) will appear for more than one episode, etc.

For those wondering what Sakuga is, the short answer is "great animation". For the long answer, go here and here. That or ask JacobYBM. Anyway, this thread is for talking about the best animated scenes of the Pokemon anime and the key animators who draw them. Let me begin with the first two...

I've noticed something. Starting around the halfway point of XY, there have been multiple animation directors in almost every single episode, including the upcoming 6 episodes of SM. It used to be we only get one animation director for a single episode. Now there can be as many as 3 or even 4...

Which of the natures would you assign to Pokemon owned by a main character (and Meowth)?
