I would read this series. I can't wait until he throws his mouse out to fight a snakE. Or when he tries to keep a snapping turtle in his pocket.

MODERATORS
their whole economy is built upon rat fighting tho
Also friendship!
I mean ashs mom is a single mom and he's a latchkey kid so he probably drank hose water and grew up to vote republican (I think Shinzo Abe's party is that in Japan)
.
Only doing it if I get to periodically boot the queeniest corporate flaks into orbit
... Also your Mom is banging the guy who gave her the rat.
This would be funnier without the last panel
Which is why the plot is bad ass. Its like being a viking without killing folks.
Huh?
And that's why Pokemon ZA setting sucks ass...
Seriously? We're going to be in an urban city environment the entire game?....
there's a Pokemon game with South Africa as the setting?
hahahahaha good one
My favorite thing about the internet right here. Games not even out yet and it sucks ass/is the second coming of Christ. There is no in-between.
Well there's been that fairly lacklust trailer. It didn't exactly look inspiring. Of course it might have great gameplay but historically speaking that seems unlikely.
Also of course it's probably going to cost $100 which means I'm not going to buy it regardless.
With how badly TPC has been handling the franchise the past few years, expecting the next games to be bad is pretty reasonable
You're probably right, however I reserve judgement on things untill I have actually experienced them. I fully expect it to be a disappointment somehow, but I don't know that it will be.
SETTING
I didn't say the game itself sucks but the SETTING does based on everything they have shown us (100% urban environments)
Before you talk about in-between maybe read everything in it's entirety first.
I did read your comment in it's entirety. My opinion is the same, and also not as about you as you seem to think.
games not even out yet and it sucks ass.
This you?
Also when you say "right here" you are directing at me and what I said.
I see you've taken part of what I said out of context. Good for you.
7th gen:
mom can i go do this island's ritual of growing up right after i moved into this place?
Sure hon, have fun!
and then they went into alternate dimension to stop their friend's crazy mom
Isn't the plot that he is in a coma and dreaming all of it? 😌
No, that's just a fringe fan theory
That’s why Pikachu is electricity based, he represents all the stuff plugged into the unconscious boy in the hospital
Um, an electric rat
Or if you link up with your mom's PhD boyfriend, you have a choice between a lizard someone set on fire, a different lizard with a fungal infection, or a regular ass turtle.
Uh, it's not a lizard with a fungal infection, it's clearly a frog/plant symbiote. Gosh
that ass turtle is a powerful turtle, water starters are slept on
Pika Pika!
The plot of Pokemon is the kid bounding down the stairs the morning he turns 10 and announcing that he’s going to do all of those things and the mom is just like, “Fine. Please call sometimes.”
Stole the plot of Earthbound I see.
Does he call? Asking for a concerned mom.
Pretty sure you can call her to leave some money with her to prevent going broke when getting wiped in battles. In some of the games at least.
If you actually go back to your home city there is literally nothing to do there.
You would have thought that at some point they would have added some special item or quest that you got if you actually went back but nope. In every game of Pokémon I have ever played there is no incentive to return to your home city and talk to your mother.
She is literally the first doctor you have available to your Pokémons and allows for early grind
You also get fast boots!
2nd gen also had her call you sometimes telling you she used the money you saved up on some trinket.
Art imitating life
Sometimes
The show, yes. The game is more like the comic.
Then his single mom starts spends an inordinate amount of time hanging out with the Pokémon professor...
If Red/Ash's mom married Professor Oak, would he call Blue/Gary (Oak's grandson) his stepson? Stepdad? And would Giovanni (Blue's father) be his stepfather? Stepson?
And why does Game Freak refuse to answer my emails?
It would be extremely Star Wars/Everyone Important Is Related of them but I believe that it is a step sibling rivalry
Don’t forget Mr. Mime…
Bow chica wow wow...
