Somebody sweeped the DP league with Darkrai?  Damn.

This about sums it all up quite nicely:

[Hypershell]

In all fairness, the anime (in the "Heroes" movie, anyway; I've not seen that episode), did not depict Latios/Latias as anywhere NEAR as powerful as they are in the games.

Nevertheless, I had to LOL at Latios.  I swear the people who work with Pokemon just love to screw with the "standard tournament" players' heads.

[Shinigami No Tekken]

This about sums it all up quite nicely:

Yeah. Just about does it right.

[geekgo4]

I have been wsh so much for them to change their protagonist, but now, the creators say, "eff you" every time.

Is it so hard just to let Satoshi have one win?  Just one?

Yes. Impossible, in fact. He's doomed to wuss-ism time after time after time. He's never gonna be the very best, that no-one ever was.

Ash beat Gary, you know.

And you all praise that [chameleon sting]er.

OH. HE BEAT GARY.  HOW SPECIAL. IT'S GREAT BECAUSE YOU CAN'T IGNORE HIS GIRTH.

Oh whoop dee doo. I beat him with only my starter left back in Yellow, no problem. He's a loser.

and you wonder why you get made fun of

Yeah. Pretty much. Let's go with that.

Hmm... did anyone ever thought that at the very beginning, he could really grow up to be a decent badass at the time?

[Hypershell]

Well, he lacks the ability to "grow up" period, despite clear references to time passage during the Kanto league (and again in the Pikachu and Pichu short).

Don't think he'd have ever been the badass that Wes is, though.  Kinda funny how everyone's psyched about the B/W trainers being older for a change, yet nobody noticed when Colosseum did it.

I noticed that myself actually, especially in the battles.

To be fair, Colosseum's not really canon.

[Hypershell]

...what kind of Bizzarro World have I entered where the word "canon" was used to refer to a Pokemon game?

But assuming we are trying to derive story value from a series that gave us "child prodigy collects 8 badges and become the champion" 17 times over, why would Colosseum be exempt?  It doesn't contradict anything established in previous games, and neither so does any future game contradict it.

I guess I got it from Bulbapedia.

Also, it wasn't developed by Game Freak Inc.

[Mirby]

The company that develops it doesn't determine canon.

That's like saying Zero and ZX aren't canon because Inti developed them, and they didn't develop Classic and X.

Different region, anyway. It's its own thing in a larger world.

That's what I was getting at earlier.  There's not a lot in any one region of Pokemon that can deny the existence of another region.

[Shinigami No Tekken]

Yeah. They all exist period. I mean, look at G/S/C. They're interconnected for the love of God.

And those mountains on the top-left corner of Johto's map, I for a while thought they lead to Hoenn.

Which still stands until I see a legit map of the pokemon world.

About time they thought of this!  No more of that annoying beeping.

[Hypershell]

I can't help but LOL at how the classic beep is incorporated as part of the music, especially with that skip effect applied.

Awesomeness!  The only problem is this is going to REALLY tempt me to not heal my Pokemon.

[Mirby]

As awesome as it is, when you're about to die, the music may be secondary.

I've heard it many a-time, and it is awesome. And it makes me a little sad when I have to make it stop.

Eh, that's what Vixy's 2SF rip is for!

[Shinigami No Tekken]

I do like how they incorporated the beeps into the music.

And quite frankly, the beeping got on my nerves when my Blaziken was getting raped by Wallace.

I was out of slaves! I had to use Blaze to use a revive on Rayquaza!

Why the hell does everybody always pick the fire starter?

I usually pick water, but in Emerald I picked Treecko.
