Yeah that sounds like a better idea than getting involved with the sh*t show that is American politics xD.

In all seriousness though, GO rakes in the money!

Guess that means Pokemon GO ain't dead but Glen the Spinarak sure is

i guess i overestimated PAD, didn't think they would read that OP and go "Yeah, this makes sense"

Well I guess many here at the time legitimately felt like BW was handling those things better, but XY was getting “overrated” by the broader fandom, so they saw the thread as some kind of safe haven xD.

I should have waited a year but by then I had stopped trolling

That was a bad one. Another thing I saw that was particularly annoying was when Asuna was running away from the LC guy and hid behind Kirito and let him fight.

That was wierd. I mean she was 2nd in command of the guild he was pretending to be in so couldn’t she just fire him or ask for a replacement. Also let’s not forget how they butchered her in ALO though thankfully everyone agrees that the 2nd half of S1 is trash. At least she got some good character development in the 2nd half of S2.

It was definitely weird. And ye they destroyed her in ALO, but while I didn’t care for the Rosario arc, it did give Asuna needed development

Seriously? That’s awesome!

Yep! I don't play really, but I'm definitely gonna watch clips of it to see how cool it looks :D. It also indicates how popular Ash-Greninja is so that's a good thing as well

It’s a good movie. It has some logic issues, but it is very emotionally resonating. I don’t think it’s a masterpiece, but I get why many do.

Ye, it got super confusing. But I kinda was too busy getting the feels. For me, it was an emotional masterpiece if you know what I mean

Think I'll watch Silent Voice next

As for the trilogy, it's entirely different. It's really Books 4, 5 and 6 of a longer Amour series I wrote so there are *some* connections to that (and a bit darker than the anime) but it's still standalone.

my reason for liking bw more than sm is mainly because the change to the anime in sm was so drastic that i'm not even sure if it's temporary or not. + with how much they're forcing the games to be as casual as possible, maybe they want the anime experience to be like that as well

during bw i thought the anime would eventually go back to normal. with sm i'm honestly not sure and am even kind of cynical

I don't think the games have anything to do with it.

XY was pretty easy as a pair of games yet in the anime it was depicted as one of the hardest regions from Mega Evolution, to Ash's strategies, the low number of League participants, and even those who couldn't get in.

I have no idea why they chose this direction.

Ash vs Ritchie. I actually like the angle at the end where Charizard disobeys Ash since Ash never tried to tame him during the 2 month wait period, but the rest of the battle was a disgrace on multiple lvls.

Yeah Ash vs Ritchie is just disgraceful. Beyond that, Ash vs Morisson, Ash vs Elesa and Ash vs Cameron are up there. In the Ash vs Elesa episode, I literally wanted to get inside the TV and smash Ash's head with a hammer, cause the stupidity he showed there was migraine inducing.

i'll check the battle out. that's a cool thing to know though but I hope we get the real Ash back next series then instead of another inferior clone XD

oof. Dude, you just now quit? I've had reduced to simply reading synops of eps. Well at least you can join the train. Gonna be a rough year

Hope you don't quit the forum man. The forum has already lost a lot of good people. We can tough it out for another year

Lol how’d that happen? Let me guess; wild they're fighting Kaguya she uses her dimension powers to transport them to the Harry Potter verse xD!

Lol. Actually this takes place after the war, probably before that silly naruhina movie xD

Look what I found, video footage from 1910 lol

Hahahaha it’s already over xD!

ikr, i thought at most it would casually get votes every 20 minutes or so without the cooldowns, i was mistaken XD

basically came down to looney tunes and avatar which i predicted right away lol

sorry about that, mostly i think we in pad are used to treating every thread as a little chatroom for any topic which is a bad habit i admit

Yeah I did ^^. There’s still a good chance for someone to come up with a better answer though Frank winning the veto challenge would lead to the most drama 8-).

IIRC even Blue didn’t have his own theme till the Champion Battle so...

Regardless I still wish the Kanto rival was a douche bag like Blue (seriously GF what’s so wrong with an antagonistic rival that you love to beat up!?).

Trace looks like such a dork lmao

Oh and my favorite Pokémon games are a tie between Platinum and BW2! So much content in both, decent stories that aren’t in your face, and the regions (especially BW2 being vastly upgraded) are fun to explore!

LMAO I just realized Torracat has a “100% official battle win rate” and so does Lycanroc depending on if the first Nanu battle counts as official or not (I’ll say it doesn’t since Ash’s non-gym battles with Gardenia and Fantina weren’t counted in that chart) xD.

Also, I can almost guarantee that in the league, in whatever battle Lycanroc is the focus, it will be struggling, and to motivate Lycanroc on, Ash will end up shaking his booty. After all, the booty shake has apparently been a huge factor for Rockruff/Lycanroc to go on.

Lol yeah I can totally picture it now; Silvally has Lycanroc on the ropes and then Ash starts shaken dat booty much to Silvally’s and Gladion’s bewilderment cheering Lycanroc up and causing enough of a distraction to give Lycanroc an openning for the win!... xD.

The romance part was actually fine (albeit a bit too smooth considering they’re teenagers). Btw have you seen SAO abridged? I love that series and honestly the writing is a lot better than in the original.

Yeah it’s a face-off for various anime series. Since you’re a general anime fan like me I figured you might be interested in it.

What part did you not like? Time skips? I hated those, but I think it was the writers first work. He's making a Progressive series that follows SAO through every floor. I hope they animate that cause I don't read LN or manga.

And ye I have :P. Definitely funny.

I have watched some, but I'm not as well-versed as you. Will take a look anyhow :D

Yeah the erratic time skips were aggravating though more than that it’s how the show goes from being this life or death struggle to “Kirito helps out girl of the day” episodes that felt really jarring.

Also Yui; I could write an essay on how she messed up the whole narrative. They’re several other logic issues that irked me.

I see ^^.

if you want I'll post and then you can ping them after

I already pinged. Double posting doesn’t seem to be an issue after the forum change.

You should try having 1 of these with @Akkipeddi someday. I bet a battle between you 2 would also be awesome :-).

It would:) Hmm...maybe I should battle him at some point.

If you do remember to record it, so that I can see it later ;-).

just letting you know that the F3 HOH is different from the others.

the challenge has 3 parts. the winner of part 1 gets to skip part 2 & move on to part 3. the two losers do part 2, and the winner of that moves on to part 3. whoever wins part 3 has sole power to evict either of the losers and there's no veto

Interesting. I was just going to do 1 challenge where the winner essentially picks who they want in the finals with them though maybe that way is better since everyone gets at least 2 chances. I’ll see how I want to handle the F3 when we get that far.

I’ll start up the next round tmw.

Well going by My Anime List + the videos I have seen of Youtube, the commom anime's I have found are Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Gintama, Steins;Gate and Fate/Zero. I'm guessing that these 4 anime's are really top class as I have seen these shows at the top side in pretty much every list I've seen. :)

FMA:B probably is the GOAT Action Adventure Shōnen. Gintama is the best comedy anime. Steins;Gate is a really emotional time-travel Thriller; it’s 1 of the best character driven series I’ve seen. Fate/Zero is basically a modern Greek Tragedy; easily the darkest of these 4. It’s ending will simultaneously leave you depressed and hopefully!

A lot of Gintama isn’t dubbed and in general Gintama is VERY LONG though the other 3 have been fully dubbed and all of their dubs are excellent.

Too bad they're awful now, especially Jessie lol

Well they still have their awesome backstories :-P (poor Growlie *cries*).

dig it

It’ll be a triple threat in the final match of the first round!
