Ash rules. Just a ton of sustained character growth of you watch the whole series. I love him, great role model for kids. He's brave, good sportsmanship, strong sense of fairness and right and wrong, loyal to friends. I am very happy to watch his adventures with my five year old. Very positive model of like an ideal child.

My five year old was a loving mess when Litten's Stoutland friend died though. Holy poo poo that episode hit hard.

He still should have been replaced a decade ago. As of now, he’s the most generic of 90s era anime protagonists.

Because he thought he was a Sonic the hedgehog character so therefore he must have been in Smash

Oh word? That's cool. Maybe it'll shave a week off the project. It'll certainly make it easier if I want a spare for Go.

It's good that they realized it was going a bit too slowly. But now I need to amass more Pinaps. Good thing I can spin a stop repeatedly at my workplace every now and again.

drat I only got 22 pinaps. They kick out enough that might not be enough. I still gotta pinap every Magikarp and starter.

Also I really need to find a Pokemon I can item evolve. I've got every item except I'm out of sinnoh stones, but nowhere near enough candy in any of them

In Everyone's Story, he's fighting it to knock some sense into it that all humans aren't evil (Hello Mewtwo/Volcanion character plot threads, nice to see you again)

In SM100, he's fighting it to prove to Dia that he's capable of taking care of himself - Dia's less than impressed with Ash and he's great for finally hammering home how irritating Ash it because he doesn't shut up and jumps into danger without a second thought

It's his nickname, short for Diamond, but yes. Both have nothing in common with each other though, it's just a coincidence.

Pokemon battling is live as of this morning. I've tried it in training, has anyone tried it with another trainer yet?

I'm wondering how likely I am too get a sinnoh stone. I really need one, then I can finish step 6 of celebi research and sync that up with my day seven streak bonuses, and probably finish step 7 that same day. Also on pace to finish step 6 of mew research the same day so I can rack up a lot of lucky egg xp bonuses.

Well I looked it up I likely won't catch 40 grass and psychic types in one day but could easily catch 50 using a berry for mew, and could easily get excellent curve ball for both (probably before my lucky egg expires).

I do wonder maybe I could catch 50 berried Pokemon in 30 minutes.

Trip report: Did my first battle and indeed got a sinnoh stone.

Also got 19 drat Meltan. If I get 19 next week I'll have Melmetal.

Hopefully at least one will have some decent loving stats. No luck so far.

See that's the issue - as you level up, higher level Pokemon come to fight you. I need Ultra Balls because I find mons worthy of them. If you still haven't unlocked them you're probably not at the point where you need them yet.

The new movie, "Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution" has been announced.

It figures now that people are done complaining that the new movies diverge too much from the version they watched as a kid, they're gonna focus on complaining that it's too much like them now that they're actually retelling part of it this time.

Ah well poo poo. I guess I'm kinda in the sweetspot for great balls. A couple of the tougher ones this last Monday took as many as three great balls (and pinap berries) to catch, but most went down in one, maybe two

I'm gonna want a minimum of 40 pinap berries next time the box is good to go. I can get melmetal in just two more runs as long as I get decently close to maximizing it.

It is so important - I can't stress this enough - that they do not mess up the scene where Mewtwo waves his hand around and makes the storm because that might be the most formative moment of my youth.
