    I remember that comic, I think

    Didn't they say Misty was like 12

    Yeah, sure I believe that

    And I'm the king of England

    I have "procured" an image, but it's VERY NSFW, so I dunno if I should even spoiler-tag it...
    Is it Ono's work though? There's a sizable doujinshi community, so it might be from less reputable sources.

    Yes they did. It was also flipped so things were backwards. I want to say they censored Ash's mom too but I'm not sure.

    I got an early print. The only thing I remembered being censored was Misty's bathing suit.

    There's a whole site detailing all the edits.

    uhhh, I'd hardly call most of those edits uncalled for

    I did not know you could not. When I got the dex, I transfered two over and put them in the daycare. So disappointment.

    Luckly, my nephew let me borrow his Emerald on the condition I'd make him a bad ass Gengar.

    Did anybody watch the whole series? I like to watch parts of the shows because it gives me a better feel for the pokemon in the game and it helps my imagination take over and not mind the crappy sprites. Soooo, could anybody give me the lowdown on it. I used to watch it ages and ages ago, I left off when the charmander had just turned into the dragon form and he was not listening to ash at all. What season was that? Anybody? Also are there cartoons all the way up to the Diamond stuff?

    There are. Pokemon is the show that taught us that you can use electrical attacks on ground types, as long as you target the horn or coat them in water first.

    I find the asthetic off putting. I prefer to think of Pokemon trainers as fearless badasses who raise these freakish monsters who, if you met in real life, would make you soil your pants. Then they use them for pit fights.

    Cartoon Network is getting Season 10 (Diamond and Pearl) in...June..I think. June or July...one of those J months.

    Basically the same things that happened keep happening. Different characters, different pokemon, same wacky adventures.

    Also, you should train your Pokemon as evenly as you can. Like, within a level of eachother.

    I liked it when it was more about being competitive, before it became more of a kids show. I much like the very first season.

    Btw, just curious, when I saw the first episode and at the end, you saw Ho-oh flying by, yeah, has that been addressed in the storyline at all yet or what?

    No.

    Try to keep your team together. But, also, try to focus on pokemon you know you will keep for the long run. Right now I have 4 pokemon I level and 2 HM bitches who are just there for the ride.

    If the pokemon you want to keep are powerful enough so that you do not need the others then you should be ok.

    Not when "Help the trainer, get the badge" became a trend.

    I don't know why but that is the funniest term for breasts I have ever heard.

    edit: Diamond and Pearl is already on Cartoon Network. I was flipping channels and happened to catch it on. They messed up Ash's voice something fierce. This new guy sounds like every other teenage boy in any cartoon.

    edit: Gym battles in the show aren't nearly as epic as they used to be. Remember Blaine?

    I liked it at first. It's become really, really obvious that they have no interest in actually doing anything with the show, however. The characters have barely aged, the story's gone nowhere (the single-player portions of the games are way more engaging storywise than the show), and it's a monster-of-the-week format that isn't very exciting.

    They could have done a lot with the show but it's just generic kiddy fare and it's one of the reasons the series is so maligned as being just for children.

    It's faster to just level up your starter and have it just overpower everything else. If you like the main quest, it is probably more enjoyable to put together a team and keep them close in levels.

    but how does it just pass on from one generation of children to the other? I guess that's why they keep any sort of major development minimal since they're just trying to tell the same story to a new group of kids each time.

    Also, if you can get at least one pokemon you like as a trade that will help balance out the leveling load, as the traded pokemon will gain xp faster.
