Aww, Kojimusa! Kanji! Your new sigs are so adooorable~♥

I think I've heard that rhyme somewhere before, too! I love how each picture and each line are correlated :D

Eek! And any thoughts I could add about the article have already been voiced; as long as nothing affects the Rocket Dan trio's relationship adversely, I don't mind what happens with the Jari-tachi. It's a shame to hear about Pokeshipping, though. If it were to become canon that would have been alright in my books. And ... yeah :3

I never felt guilty since the sound was mostly mute when Team Rocket wasn't on the screen. For a good reason ;)
Haha! I soooo do this, too :D Or, if I'm watching an episode on the computer and I'm alone, I'll usually skip the Rocket Dan-less bits altogether with no hesitation at all. Which reminds me: I think there was once a video on YouTube of one of the movies, but it had been edited to include only scenes of Musashi, Kojiro and Nyasu. Is that still around?

I don't know how familiar you are with the german traditions of Christmas but we always celebrate on the 24th December, the so called Heilig Abend- Holy Evening So I will wish you today very happy Christmas ;) I'm happy to be in this thread and I love discussing Rocketshipping and TR with you guys.
That's so awesome, being able to celebrate one day early - I didn't know this at all :D Thanks, and a Happy Christmas to you, too!

Aaand, something to detract from my post's general lack of input.

So here I continue:
Shudo said that even if it seems like there are episodes, where you don't even know what Team Rocket is showing up for, but without them Pokemon wouldn't be Pokemon.
Even if other villains showed up, Team Rocket remained undisturbed. It was impossible to make them leave.
He felt sorry for Kasumi, but for him it was Team Rocket trio he regarded highly the most.

I think in those episodes (mostly gym related episodes) they are just for the comedy relief and so that adults would watch the episode maybe as well, even if all of Ashs battle bores them. And newer Villains were always great so that TR could side with the protagonists =) and as another proof that they are in no way evil.
Yes, it only worried him if it became the main theme of the show. So maybe it's great that Musashi and Kojiro didn't end up as the main characters in the end xD;

In that case they would have been perhaps as perfect and boring as Ash and so they wouldn't be those awesome characters we all know and love =)

I didn't care about Kasumi, but I can't see why he just couldn't make some character development for Kasumi instead getting rid of her though... but that's not the talk for this topic.

Strange, since she seems to have more personality than other twerps. I can dance when I think that TR is untouchable in this show and will never leave =)

@KojiMusa: I love your sig, it's awesome =)

Haha! I soooo do this, too :D Or, if I'm watching an episode on the computer and I'm alone, I'll usually skip the Rocket Dan-less bits altogether with no hesitation at all.

XD off all my saved Pokémon episodes I never have watched one whole episode XD Like you, I skipped the boring twerpsparts ;) An exception is the endscene in EP218 where those old people are gratefull to TR and feel sorry for them after their undeserved blast off, which makes me all sad (DAM YOU TWERPS for mocking the poor guys^^)

That's so awesome, being able to celebrate one day early - I didn't know this at all :D Thanks, and a Happy Christmas to you, too!

24th: presents XD always loved that

No fearhug, but Iwane did give us a present...

DP157_5.jpg


I looked at this a bunch of times just to be sure, but it looks like they held hands during the blast off. :crush:

The only other kind of cute thing is that this was a Duo+Nyasu episode, just like the good old days...

You can't go wrong with an episode like that.

Happy Heilig Abend Tuska, and surely it's almost Christmas for you too Gwen? ;-)
Are you sure it is dead?
No :p
Aww, Kojimusa! Kanji! Your new sigs are so adooorable~♥
Thank youuuuu! Oh! I can add you too :-D Forgot you were on FB!

Tuska, wanna be in my sig? ;D
Haha, go Kojiro! xD

I shall add a small contribution myself:

Edit: Yay RG! x3 It does look like they're holding hands!!! And plus, as you said, a duo + Nyasu ep can't go wrong! ;)

Gotta love HD! We're finally getting what we want thanks to it.

Next episode has a Metagross. We better have a "Ugh, I don't like that Pokémon, brings bad memories" from the Rockets ;)

Oh Meron, I hope so! :p If only it were a shiny one...

Can I just say, I know it's maybe the less shippy bit, but I think I love that last cap best xD They just look so cute!

Me, too! I used to fear the end of each series, thinking it might be the last we see of them, but the thought of this is very comforting :D

I looked at this a bunch of times just to be sure, but it looks like they held hands during the blast off. :crush:
Oooh, my goodness - YES! That really does look like a handhold :D I can't wait to see it in motion. And that's just as good as a hug, methinks. Thank you, Iwane! And thanks heaps, Musashi, for the cute screenshots! <3

Happy Heilig Abend Tuska, and surely it's almost Christmas for you too Gwen? ;-)
Only one and a half hours to go :3 Waaay close! It'd be getting close for you guys, too, right?

Thank youuuuu! Oh! I can add you too :-D Forgot you were on FB!

Tuska, wanna be in my sig? ;D
Hehe, no problem!
Aww, thankies! (But I don't post nearly often enough yet, though :p)

And yay! I really hope Tuska says yes :D

<3 Cuuute! I haven't seen a screenshot of this scene in AGES. Nyasu is way too adorable here.

Next episode has a Metagross. We better have a "Ugh, I don't like that Pokémon, brings bad memories" from the Rockets ;)
Agreed, as well! That'd be some really nice continuity :D (And these bad memories might just maaaaybe, maybe induce some sort of fearhug.)

Unless they held hands after that, then it was just really close. I need to play around with the HQ version when it comes up.

Merry Christmas!

I'm in hurry now, since like Tuska, I'm celebrating Christmas Eve with a family today, so I'll respond to everyone after I'm back.

No fearhug, but Iwane did give us a present...

Well, maybe you can't notice Musashi's hand, but it does seem like they're holding hands a little.

LOL! I'm shipping Kojiro's armpit x Musashi's boobs from now on! XD
There are many strange fetishes... :naughty:
And yeah, I consider the last picture more shippy xD

Yeah, it's nice to think that TPTB aren't as stupid as many people here and don't consider the TRio's prescence as unessential! :-D
Thank you, Iwane!
Indeed! Iwane does love us Rocketshippers very much! xD Even if it's not a proper handhold, it's all cute from what RG posted (and anyway, close enough!!)
Only one and a half hours to go :3 Waaay close! It'd be getting close for you guys, too, right?
No, not really :p It's hours and hours later now and we've still got a good 7 hours till midnight!
Aww, thankies! (But I don't post nearly often enough yet, though :p)
What are you talking about?! You've posted enough, and anyway, who said it's about post count? It's all about lurrrve <3
(And these bad memories might just maaaaybe, maybe induce some sort of fearhug.)
If only!!

I somehow doubt that they'd have held hands after that, but all the same, it's quite close!

Uh, they clearly did hold hands after that. You guys need to watch the episode.

And Kanji, I think you need to do a rundown of who is in your sig.

Yup, that's why I'm waiting for the HQ version. It's so freaking fast that it's impossible to see in low quality.

Merry Christmas everyone! :-3

Kanji, I want to know who are in your sig too~

Also, we currently have 29 members in the social group - if anyone from here is not there, join now!

Edit: I guess I could show you this little sketch I did today. It doesn't have M or K, but I know you all love Nyasu anyway

Ok, I'm back! We're so sloooow today... Remember, we need to hit 11K before New Year comes! :p

Jeska, the link you posted is not working for me.
No? D: And now?
anime67.jpg

From what Shudo said in the first article you translated and posted, I so far like him. Like me, he holds the TRio in high esteem and thinks the twerps are uninteresting (though I liked Brock in the Kanto saga, I have found him bland since the Johto saga).
Yes, he definitely loved them and treated like his own children... he wrote more nice stuff about them, but now, I don't have time to translate it, epsecially if there's nothing new for us there ;)

So, Shudo killed Pokeshipping? Looks like my Christmas gift came early :-D
Even Kasumi being absent from the show for 7 years arleady didn't kill them, so I think they will get through this too... They're too devoted. Besides, unlike us, many people tend to ships characters that even don't have ANY chance to become canon, yet they're doing it, because they like these two characters and they simply enjoy it. As for me, I like my ship being realistic, but if everyone would have the same preferences... it would be a boring world ;) Besides, I'm happy that they didn't get depressed because of it, Because otherwise, I'd feel kind of guilty for this.

I'm happy to be in this thread and I love discussing Rocketshipping and TR with you guys.
Aww! I love it as well :3

It's nice to know that they had such a great involvement in creating the show, since the motto belongs to the show like Team Rocket itself ;) I love learning such interesting facts about the show.
Yeah, they definitely helped a lot to make Team Rocket popular characters, since Takeshi Shudo stated it himself. And it seems like they really love these roles :)

Maybe it would help as well, if he would write a little bit more to the topics and post of other members ;)
It would help even more if he really was a Rocketshipper.

I remember wondering if Takegami ws also Anti-TR during AG so this would explain why there wasn't even great TR episodes from him.... the poor guy, it must have hurt that he couldn't do great episodes like in the old saga =(
It wasn't Teakegami's fault. It was just his superiors being not interested in Team Rocket/Rocketshippy episodes.

Although I loved their big and important role in this movie, but the fact that TR was about to star in their OWN movie =) That would be fucking AWESOME!
Yes, I'm really curious about how such movie would look like... it would be certainly full of win! <3 I know it's impossible, but I hope that some writer will get around to such idea again... It's really lame that Satoshi needs to be the main character of every movie and save the world every freaking year:/

QFT!

Like I said you doesn't seem to reply that often to other peoples work and posts^^ or do I see this wrong?
Because other people work hard for the ship and write decent posts.

Well in the german rocketshipping club I think lot's of people would be happy if I tell them those new informations but I 'm too lazy XD
Omg, you're really lazy xD If there was a club like this in Poland, I'd go and tell them! xD Anyway, they don't seem as devoted like you since instead of looking for a new info themselves, they're counting on you :p

I see it as my christmas present from you ;) Thanks again.
You're welcome! ^.^


Aww, Kojimusa! Kanji! Your new sigs are so adooorable~♥
Yeah, it's full of win! But I hope you will add some more people, because the empty space on the left to the stars definitely feels sad xD
... wait, Musashi and Kojiro post in our thread too? XD

Haha! I soooo do this, too :D Or, if I'm watching an episode on the computer and I'm alone, I'll usually skip the Rocket Dan-less bits altogether with no hesitation at all. Which reminds me: I think there was once a video on YouTube of one of the movies, but it had been edited to include only scenes of Musashi, Kojiro and Nyasu. Is that still around?
Since Pokemon Ag started, I'm doing this too xD
Oh, I've seen that movie too... the Pokemon Ranger one, wasn't it?
But it was years ago and I don't know if it's still around.

Gotta love HD! We're finally getting what we want thanks to it.
But also notice more animation crappiness at the same time XD

Next episode has a Metagross. We better have a "Ugh, I don't like that Pokémon, brings bad memories" from the Rockets ;)
Oh, that would be awesome. But isn't Oohashi who's writing it? If it was Takegami, we could count on him giving the reference, but with any other write... I don't think so.

Uh, they clearly did hold hands after that. You guys need to watch the episode.
Really? O.O If so, it means... wait, wouldn't it be the first time they're holding hands during blast-off? They were holding hands/hugging each other multiple times before the blast-off, but they always got separated in the end... If they caught their hands during the flight that would be something new O.O

And Kanji, I think you need to do a rundown of who is in your sig.
Yeah, I can't recognize everyone.

Edit: I guess I could show you this little sketch I did today. It doesn't have M or K, but I know you all love Nyasu anyway

We did get the ramen bowl and Yuusaku in Suiren Contest, so it's not completely impossible to get continuity. Plus, it wouldn't be anything big, just a small line. If they mention it, it would be a great start for the new year! :3

Oh yeah. Jeska, the club in dA got converted into a group, but I can't log in there. D: Can you check it when you have time? (I don't mean to rush you, just mentioning it when I still remember to! xD)

I sent you an invitation as a Co-founder :) I will write a journal to let people know that our club is a group now so they will join in proper way.

YAY! Christmas Art! *glomps* I love you Meron! <333

Something weird I found from DP153:

Isn't it weird how Musashi is the only person smiling, about running away from Rumika?

Yay, thanks! I made it so that everyone are allowed to join now, and other small settings. The group system seems really convenient. I hope all of you (who have a dA account) join the group and submit art! :3 Hopefully I won't mess anything up...

Love you too, KM! Hmm, it depends what Musashi is saying in that scene...

Ah, thanks, I didn't know about that O.O But yeah, it looks like things will get much more convenient from now on, especially if the group allows members to contribute art on their own.

Hmm, it depends what Musashi is saying in that scene...
She doesn't even look like smiling to me... I don't remember what she said either.

I meant dead in the sense that Shudo stated that Ash and Misty were not intended to harbor romantic love for one another, nor were they intended to become a romantic couple.

Of course, this will never kill the Pokeshipping fanbase. For years, it has been dedicated to the idea of Ash and Misty becoming a romantic couple. Even though Shudo said Pokeshipping was not intended to be canon, this will not stop Pokeshippers from supporting it.

Me, too! I used to fear the end of each series, thinking it might be the last we see of them, but the thought of this is very comforting :D

I also couldn't believe it when they return in every new season like in AG back then ;) We're lucky guys, you know?

And yay! I really hope Tuska says yes :D

It's impossible for me to say no ;)

No? D: And now?
Spoiler:
show spoiler

Jeska, I love this so much XD But in the meantime it is even over 600 episodes and they still don't give up! This is what I call stubborn XD But in a good way of course.

They're too devoted.

Sounds familiar with other Shippers I know ;)

Yeah, they definitely helped a lot to make Team Rocket popular characters, since Takeshi Shudo stated it himself. And it seems like they really love these roles :)

I really admire the occupation voice actor, sometimes I think those who bring animated characters and film character in other countrys to life don't get enough credit. In the case of some of my favorite VA you can hardly even find some information, which is a shame. And if I like a character or even a show/film depents mainly on the VA. So the credit that Team Rocket is as amazing as they are, goes to the japanese voices =) Thank you three.

And if you think that they play the roles for over 10 YEARS (!) and so do the german voices who are exactly the same like in EP002, we can be sure that they love them as much as we do. The three german voice actors even said they have a lot of fun playing (or be) them :) Which always makes a fan happy. But who wouldn't like to play such complex and interesting characters? It must be for all the VA in the world a great challenge.

It would help even more if he really was a Rocketshipper.

Since he was in this thread I always believed he was one.

Because other people work hard for the ship and write decent posts.

Yes, it's awesome what for long and interesting posts most of you write and how much we can learn from them.

Omg, you're really lazy xD If there was a club like this in Poland, I'd go and tell them! xD Anyway, they don't seem as devoted like you since instead of looking for a new info themselves, they're counting on you :p

Well last time I looked for the thread he was disappeared so I guess it was closed once more and nobody bothered to found a new one ;) There was person who was really devoted to the shipping, who gave the best and interesting infos but she got mad, after all the other members (who usually spam just or answer with one little sentence or word^^ How I hate this^^) fail to answer her correct, so she left the thread^^. Shame if I could find her again, maybe she would be interested in a other language thread =)
