Serena was also imagining Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which makes sense because those games are just kids playing with toys. It's all coming together now.

Of course dreams are made of these. Who am I to disagree?

That's the thing. They didn't build on the comedy, they took it away. It's like going from Dragon Ball to Dragon Ball Z.

Probably because streaming is the move and cable TV's dying. Even if it wasn't, Disney XD is not a popular or common channel, so a lot of people don't even have it. It's like when Cartoon Network moved all the shows they couldn't air to Boomerang so nobody could watch them.

Doesn't the fact that it took so long prove the fact that nobody was really clamoring for a battle, yet alone a rematch?

They referenced him meeting Lorelei in Johto.

The actual Gen 2 Pikaclone was Marill, and Tracey had that one.

That doesn't change how strong they are, like at all. It just means Ash gained nothing by winning.

Most versus stuff is who can punch harder, and you pulling up cool stuff they did to prove your point.

Cross-universe scaling is always super sus. Would you put the manga elite 4 who nuked a city on the same level as the anime elite 4?

It's all about consistency. If a character has a flaw and that leads them to mess up, that's fine. If they mess up because the plot needs them to mess up, that's lame.

Dang it you jinxed the paul discussion thread

Didn't Hapu beat Ash the first time using a Pokemon she didn't use in the rematch?

I mean, which methods? Having all his Pokemon attack one of his Pokemon? Ash did that in the same region. Catching a bunch of Pokemon and switching them out? Gary did that. Giving up in the middle of a battle should have disqualified him, but that's different from his strength. From what we've...

Half of Ash's captures abandoned their trainers.

Is this any different from AJ's weird Pokemon dungeon getting brushed off with "Nah they like him so it's fine." back in episode 10?

Yeah but at the same time pretending the actions never happened because the writers want the character to stay around longer always feels weird.

Okay, I'm pretty sure you guys are making these up now. That's not an actual thing or even a remote guideline.

Aren't shinies in the anime just a way of telling Pokemon apart? Aside from that one DP episode with the metagross, every other example has been just for differentiation.

I mean, we saw his frontier symbols already, so it's not like they didn't know about it. There are a lot of ways for a battle fronteir to be in Hoenn, anyway.
