I do that one deliberately. Because it just sounds better.

I have no idea what would happen if you lost to a wild Pokémon. It might try to knock you out long enough to get away, at any rate.

As for the villainous team, realistically, they wouldn't bother...

I'd say KAH-lohs, which would be closest to the original Japanese pronunciation.

Well given the fact that most of my twists tend to boil down to "Who's going to die this week?", I think hinting at the answer would greatly lessen the impact. And where's the fun in that?

Any version of the Lance/Red battle theme is good by me.

As far as the anime, I really like "Tears, After the Cloudy Weather", "I Got a Victory Badge!" and pretty much the entire English score...

I usually don't do foreshadowing, at least not to start out with, because it's not very often that real life offers clues as to what the next big plot twist will be. Think about it—whenever a juicy...

I think I'd prefer a flying DeLorean, myself.

Ai Yori Aoshi. I know it's been ten years, but they really need to finish it.

I'd ask if he has any other interests besides Pokémon. Or for that matter, if anyone in his world has any interests besides Pokémon.

Happy Bulbaversary!

When I was younger, virtually everybody I ever met told me I looked like Harry Potter. On seeing me for the first time (appropriately, at a Harry Potter-themed event the night before the seventh book...

Just like with humans, it probably depends on the individual Pokémon. I for one don't enjoy being tickled in the slightest. If the assertion that Pokémon take on similar personalities to their...

Which is to say, do you ever reuse the same characters in different contexts/settings? Some might dismiss this as lazy, but if you're like me and you easily get attached to your characters,...

When cast in a lead role, rarely do my characters find themselves in a romantic relationship, largely because they're predominantly RP characters and, as such, would ideally be paired with other...

True, but let us bear in mind that Only Yesterday also has a bathhouse scene which essentially shows the lead character Taeko nude at age ten. No details are drawn, but the "suggestion" of nudity...

I think another favorite of mine now might be おもひでぽろぽろ Omohide Poroporo (literally, Memories Raining Down, known to the western world as Only Yesterday). Its lead is incredibly easy to relate to—in...

Here's one for ya, from an old thread I made way back when:

Iron Man 3
Monsters University
Thor: The Dark World
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
The Hobbit: There and Back Again
Star Wars Episode VII
Finding Dory...

Requiescat in pace, Annette Funicello.

I imagine that the Pokémon nation (pre-Generation V) is a continent or island chain on an alternate-universe version of our own planet Earth. Unova is part of a larger continent farther away from...

....I didn't even see what happened. All I noticed was that the background changed and the Anime section seemed to be gone. What on Earth did I miss?

What, no love for Wes and Michael? Can't say much about the latter, having not played his game, but of the former, I can tell you he's got a lot of balls—he betrayed his organization, stole their...

If I'm drinking soda because I want to enjoy it, I drink Pepsi. If I'm drinking soda for refreshment, I drink Coke. So, I like both, really.

But I've largely given up soda at this point. V8...

Generally, I prefer having my characters grow as people rather than as trainers, be they newbies or veterans. Although, of course, it is desirable for a newbie's skill to gradually increase.

And I think I'd suggest Agatha or Bertha as the grandmother, especially given that I tend to picture Angela Lansbury as a live-action version of the former.
