Or Digimon.

I don't get it either, most likly Jon Stewart confused another anime with Pokemon.

It seems that you have been waiting only for some Indigo comparisons only. Some of us may wish to discuss other matters as well. In fact, there have been plenty of discussions after the 1st of April not pertaining to the Indigo comparisons. Take it from me, a Gen One-er, that this site holds alot more than just Indigo episode comparisons.



Although I find this last part difficult to understand, it was really uncalled for. Please refrain from such things on at least this thread.

Cheers

...wow just wow

and please I'm a "Gen One-er" myself started out with blue and watched Pokemon at 6:30 A.M. before school I like his Indigo comparisions because they have the most changes done to them, and Dogasu usually puts moer effort in them.

See, it probably shows where my mind is that my first thought was "Hey, Platinum Distortion World Galactic plot!" But then I doubted they would make a reference that "obscure".

Could the reference be something like earth is reality and heaven is the virtual reality in which Pokemon takes place?

Of course the only flaw with that is since when does earth give orders to heaven. It should be the other way around.

That's the only thing I can think of but then again the reference could be applied to other things and not Pokemon.

Of course I'm stupid when it comes to these things so mostly ignore me then.

Guys, I think the reference was just made by a couple of guys who have never seen an episode of Pokemon in their lives. Nothing more, nothing less.

Well yeah, but it's still funny because it almost kindasorta fits Platinum. Least that's why I found it funny, because it was like watching a drunk dart thrower hit a bullseye without knowing it.

All she needs is a Nurse Joy uniform, and she's set.

I also got lost on the obscure reference. But whatever. Jon Stewart is win.

First off, I love the paint edit you did.

Next, I really liked the comparison. Some of those edits were obvious, but I didn't realize how much Erika had been changed, and I wondered what that whole nose part was really about.

Adding the snot was just plain gross.

Dogasu... your Americanized Erika sent me on a lollercopter. I thought I was going to die.

Firstly I’d like to say that the Gameboy will always be special to me. It technically brought to the world into the mobile age so all these cell phones, ipods and PDAs were made possible. So newbies, do show some respect because it were the Red, Green, Blue and Yellow versions that gave you the cell phone that you have in your pocket right now. That’s right Pocket Monsters gave you Pocket gadgets.

I'll just want to go through those first 26 Kanto comparisons and touch things up, add a few things here and there (I never got around to providing a translation of the Japanese version of the Rocket-Dan's motto, for example), and make sure everything's in the best shape it can be before heading off to do the next 26 comparisons

I think that ALL of us should start reviewing them and telling you where something should be changed. (Or not be changed!) Let’s get busy! We’ll be providing feedback over the coming months.

I also plan to do some sort of comparison with the first opening theme, but I'm still trying to figure out how I want to present the information and what all to include.

Is that a promise? Will the remaining openings (and endings) be compared in the (foreseeable) future?

My next update will include information on the manga adaptation of the Arceus movie that was included in the latest issue of CoroCoro Comics.

Will you provide even more info than what you gave in the thread about it in the Poke-Media section?

The Comparison:

Ahhh…nice to see a fresh new page on the site let’s get to it!
Yeah, I really like having to go to your name lists to make sure that the thing I am reading about in Japanese is confirmed in English (or American c/o 4kids).
(still haven’t memorized the Japanese names at all…)

Grrrr, why are you so right!? Yes, Kanto did lose ground in the metropolitan areas and yes we did get filler after Fuchsia (Sekichiku)City(the weird Koduck + Pukurin thing and the fact that I don't remeber seeing the city, only just Koga's [Kyo's] Dojo). But still, this episode does entertain far more than let’s say Gardenia searching for her lost ‘mon (no offense, but how do these pathetic Sinnoh losers even become gymleaders?)

Actually, the whole two-part gymbattle thing does really up the whole event. But, we just did a three part Natsume thing (yes I’m counting Shion Town as a part of the three.)

Back in the day, I wouldn’t be in the mood for another drawn-out gymleader thing and that of a measly grass type gym which my lv 42 Lizard (Charmeleon) could devastate in just three attacks. A chuckle came from myside on seeing the gym burn down (I used to joke that it was my Lizard (Charmeleon) who did it actually!)

Yeah, Satoshi getting the badge was really Kanto-ish, so that’s something kiddies today won’t have to fret upon. Satoshi nowadays kicks more tail!

Team Rocket in the game corner? COME ON!!! That gambling casino stuff would have probably got the episode Banned Stateside!???

Paint edits: Not really significant stuff. Just some anti-Kanji-ism.
However I must add that the American version of Erika actually looks more scarier…*shiver*.

BTW nice new avatar. But it will bring up a bit of confusion to new users to whether you are a guy or a gal Dogasu-sensei.

"I wouldn't let you in if you were the last Pokémon trainer on Earth!"

That’s kind of in the same spirit as “I wouldn’t marry you if you were the last guy on Earth!”
…or not, … I might be going crazy as well.

But leaving that, didn’t it get to be more shocking to realize that they aren’t letting Satoshi in because the perfume store lady Satoshi just “cussed” is their gymleader? It’s kinda implied (in our own minds) anyhow that Erika must have phoned the gym anyway to stop Satoshi.
Somebody please confirm this, I haven’t seen this episode in Years and am writing all of this from memory, but did the “last trainer on Earth” thing come before or after Satoshi found out the perfume lady was the Tamamushi (Celadon) gymleader.

A few lines later, Satoshi calls the Gym Leader a "Gym Master." Weird. For those of you wondering, Satoshi uses the correct terminology.

How is that correct? Aren’t they called Gym leaders in Japanese as well? Or did I just realize that I missed one of the most fundamental namings of the Japanese Pocket Monsters?

Yeah! Nyasu on CAT food… This Poke-world might be Earth after all!

Thanks a million for the stink cocktail’s original ingredients Dogasu!

I also thought it was clever how the pokemon Kusaihana kept defeating with its stench (Dogasu, Betobeto) are the very pokemon you wouldn't expect to succumb to bad smell - I mean, Kusaihana stinks so bad that a ball full of toxic gas and a creature that's basically living sludge can't handle its aroma? DAMN.

The dub does sound a lot more stinkier, because plain old nattou and garlic just can’t do THAT!
I previously sounded like James was discussing Dogars stench. Turns out James was talking about Kusaihana. My bad, but still thanks for seeing through my mistake; it has been years since I saw this.
Yeah Nyasu’s nose was funny, but I think the 4th wall reference would probably help American kids finally figure out the weird design of Nyasu’s face.

Banners: Now that’s an expensive edit. Couldn’t they have just repainted over the original banners?

P.S. #1 I will want to know what Team Rocket do with their bazookas in Guren (Cinnabar) gym.
P.S. #2 Satoshi is a jerk. He burned down the gym and stole the badge!

Overall sensei, it was an EXCELLENT comparison!
Rating: (I have to invent a special rating, … so just wait, but this one will be pretty high.)

Brilliant comparison Dogasu, I was actually laughing like a goon in parts!

Kojirou's description of Kusaihana's stench is one of the funniest things I've read in a while.
