I was watching Pokemon and noticed this.

Ugh, I keep researching and trying to get a Pokemon that has an ability that makes it so others can't escape. At first I succeeded with Wobbuffet, but I didn't like how doesn't have any offensive moves. Then I tried evolving a Haunter into Gengar, because I thought that would give it Shadow Tag. Nope, that's only Mega Gengar. Now my last hope is the Gothita line of evolution, as their hidden abilities are shadow tag, but I'll also have 2 psychic types on my team.

I'm honestly not sure why I'm doing this, but I feel like I have to.

Diglett and Trapinch have Arena Trap. Otherwise you could just get a pokemon that learns Mean Look.

I thought about Arena Trap, but that doesn't affect flying or ghost type Pokemon. I've also thought about Mean Look, and I might go for that.

Huh, didn't think of that. Propably doesn't work against anything with Levitate either. Why, may I ask, do you need a pokemon that prevents the foe from escaping?

[Carlos]

That's extremely intresting. Most likely a typo, but wow.

I honestly don't remember my original reason. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming gen 3 remakes and I guess I'm just trying to learn more and do more when it comes to Pokemon.

Its kind of nice to have when doing those annoying goose chases across a continent to catch a legendary, though it doesn't matter for some because they know roar.

Shadow Tag Wobbuffet isn't that bad, you just have to get lucky. Let's say your opponent has a Choice Band Arcanine that's locked into Close Combat. Just switch in a Wobbuffet so it can't escape and spam Counter.

You can also use Arena Trap Dugtrio. Your opponent could have a Choice Specs Manectric that's locked into Thunderbolt. Switch in your Dugtrio, use Hone Claws a million times and sweep with Earthquake (unless you're going up against Flying types or Pokemon with Levitate)

But the chances of things like this happening isn't very high so I wouldn't rely on them.

After watching the first 5 minutes of the third episode of X and Y, I just remembered.

Remember when you saw Ask talk to Oak through a video phone back in the first few seasons, and thought "wow I wonder when we will have that", it's pretty amazing to think that we actually do have that technology today.

Also, I hope kids still watch Pokémon, they even had a remix of the old theme and reminded me of when I used to watch Pokémon back when it was on TV a lot.

The voice actor for Ash has gotten better, a lot of the times I don't notice it's not Veronica Taylor, although I wish Brock was back. I liked how we'd get sidetracked by girls for a few minutes, and the fact he was an everything man.

Also, I think James still remains my favourite character, just because he's pretty much TR's version of Brock but better in every way. I mean when you think about it, he's only evil because he's forced to be, he gave up a life of riches and royalty due to him having a forced marriage which he didn't want and actually knows when to be good and when to be bad. Hell, he's also a pretty smart guy.

Oh wow, they brought back Ash turning his cap backwards, that's cool.

[retrolinkx]

Wow, so Ash's new companions, Bonnie and Clement are actually Brock together, in one of the episodes Bonnie tries to ask some woman to be his wife while Clement gets embarrassed and pulls Bonnie away, which is actually pretty funny in it's own right.

Also, remember "Who's that Pokémon?" it's actually become so simple for kids, since they show a new pokemon on the screen, give it a name, then go to the "Who's that Pokémon" section, where it's the Pokémon that was just shown.

They've done it for two episodes now, and I think they think that kids are stupider these days.

Oh, and as the "Who's that Pokémon" ended, it goes back to Ash pulling out his Pokédex saying "Who's that Pokémon"

Also, the Healing Sound you hear when you Heal Pokémon isn't just a nice sound to put at the end, in the Anime it's used to call trainers that are around the Pokémon center that their Pokémon are fully healed (since it takes like an hour or so to heal them properly) if they are not waiting in the center. It's actually a pretty interesting touch they added for that.

I'm actually surprised no one recognizes Ash, since he's been a runner up in like every big event ever, I think he came 4th or something in the Ruby/Sapphire era cup and hell, he stole a Team Rocket Balloon to get to his Pokémon match with Richie I think his name was, and literally landed on the field after no one has seen him for several hours, he's been on TV, saved the world and shit and no one even knows him by his face, apart from 3 or so characters outside of his entourage.

Found a pretty interesting Pokémon game. Might consider importing this.

I've always loved this song.

It's really fun to whistle along to too.

Check this out. I get to have a Pokeball Vivillon for my birthday! :D Plus Nurse Joy tells me Happy birthday while this music plays. AND pokemoncenter.com launched today. I'm happier than a... Grumpig in mud?

[retrolinkx]

Man, listening to the Pokémon Anime Collection Playlist really brings a tear to your eye.

I wish they would use these some more in the anime, they really put a lot of heart and soul into these songs and made them sound amazing. It would be something if they added them back and the original VA's while they're at it.

Still my favourite theme in the entire thing

This is a whole album of all the new Mega Evolution's revealed in Corocoro.

How do the wings on Mega Salamence work?!
