And I named him "Titties."

Yay I got a Dratini!

I named the lastest rival in HearGold Cunny. I was watching some show while I was naming him, I think it might've been Deadwood.

I named mine after my housemate because he's a BASTARD.

So far it's working out great.

"In the original Pokémon Red/Blue, when you encounter your rival in Lavender Town he asks whether or not you know what it's like to have one of your Pokémon die. At this point in the game, he no longer has his Raticate that he used in previous battles.Your rival battle before this took place aboard the S.S. Anne. Your rival's Raticate sustained serious injuries from the battle...but, because crowding and confusion on the luxury liner, he was unable to make it to a Pokémon Center in time and the Raticate passed away. The real reason your rival is in Lavender Town to begin with is to lay his deceased friend to rest.Despite all of this, your rival never outwardly tells you that you're responsible for the death of his Pokémon. He hides his grief and instead channels that energy into the motivation he needed to continue his quest to become Indigo League Champion. The death of his Raticate effectively destroys your rival's impish, childhood innocence. Although he tells himself that he doesn't hold you responsible, he subconsciously holds a great deal of resentment towards you which further fuels his ambitions.Tearfully swearing upon his Raticate's grave to not fail in what he set out to do, he trains hard in hopes of becoming better than you...defeating you...and to eventually make it to the Pokémon League. Mere moments after he became Indigo League champion, he was defeated...by you. Although he fulfilled his promise to his fallen Pokémon, it was only for a painfully brief instant.In the end, your rival is scolded by his grandfather while you receive the professor's praise. During the course of the game, you steal your rival's innocence, crush his dreams, and ultimately snatch away the love of his own grandfather. Oh, and by the way, your rival doesn't have any parents. He's an orphan."

holy shit

You paid money for one? You get one for free in the final town before the Elite Four

You think that stories messed up? There are some theories that Red, the champion at the end of Kanto in Gold and Silver, may in fact be a ghost. They think he died in the Cinnabar eruption, which is where you meet him originally.

I've always wondered why the series radically changed after the first few episodes.

When you hatch a Kangaskhan from an egg it has a baby in its pouch.
Think about it.

Guys so today I got an email that reminded me of this here forum and I was like "what the hey I'll drop by" and this was the first thread I looked at. I laughed, I cried, I learned about French cinema.

So I just wanted to say: Good work, guys.

the ghost version of Curse involved the user shoving a nail, slowly, into its own face, then doing the same thing to its opponent.

Argh what the fuck

Pokémon is seriously fucked up, why did I never realize this.

Alex C · « **Reply #170 on:** 17 Apr 2010, 12:34 »

Because relative to other Japanese cartoons it's only mildly fucked up.

Quote from: wikipedia

Cubone appears to be a small brown dinosaur-like Pokémon, that constantly wears a skull (supposedly the skull of its deceased mother) like a helmet. It carries another bone, which it uses to attack with moves like Bone Club, Bonemerang, and Bone Rush. A Cubone is constantly lonely, possibly because after its mother gives birth to it, it abandons it and dies. During the night, it cries for its lost mother and it is unable to let go of the memory of her. Its cries echo within the skull and it comes out as a pained and sad melody that can travel for miles around its mountain homeland. Sometimes, it can emit mournful sounds during the day. On the night of a full moon, its cries are the loudest - for it seems to recognize its mother's face in the moon. Because of this, a Cubone's personality is described as being asocial. It will not willingly make friends with others and it strongly dislikes company. A Cubone always wears the skull of its dead mother and has never removed it (or will let others remove it). The marks on the skull are actually dried tear stains from a Cubone's constant crying.

I remember when I was at primary school, we had an OFSTED inspection coming up and my headteacher was so stressed about it that she tore up a bunch of Pokemon cards belonging to a kid in the queue for lunch. I couldn't believe it at the time and it still seems weird - she was such an amazing headteacher, she got an OBE for services to Education.

Necro-posting to say: aw, I'm so flattered! (Obviously you chose to click on this thread first because I wrote it, so I might as well take credit for the Pokémon/Digimon/Dino-Riders/Elodie Bouchez discussion too.)

Also wow guys you are very slow at making threads now-a-days! How is this still on page 1.

Welp, now I shall click the "post" button and I guess it'll stay on page 1 for another couple months or something. Okay bye~
