Less "Brock ages" and more "What age is Brock supposed to be again?" "Well he's a horndog and also the responsible adult... so I dunno 20?" "Ah who cares, that sounds fine"

The best case scenario is they could give less of a gently caress about character consistency anymore. His stated age in the anime is literally 15. Oh and Misty is 10 apparently.....

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
Turns out Olivia was 14 all along.


So, CoroCoro should be leaking any day now... and we didn't get a SwSh update besides the Direct. So unless, like, tomorrow or during TGS something gets posted, CoroCoro will likely just repeat the camping and 2 new pokemon.

Either they're being good about hiding stuff, or we're getting around 50 new pokemon.

As a kid I always read Brock as being much older than Ash. So like, 19.

She's 26+ because she's worried she's reaching the age that she's no longer considered worthwhile as a potential wife

Is this a japanese thing or purely an Olivia thing cuz' this sounds more than a little....odd I guess..

His anime age is listed on bulbapedia. It didn't say it was dub specific.

It's a Japanese thing, based on how (christmas) cakes get discounted on Dec 25th and means that unmarried women older than 25 are past their prime

It's not as commonplace as it used to be, but it still exists

Tangentially related to why you rarely see anime about older people, because Japan cherishes childhood - hence why Ash is always ten

"Having a character believing in the Christmas Cake concept may mark them as being likewise old-fashioned"

Ok I get it but....hum.... I guess it's just a bit off-putting to have an obviously young non-japanese women fretting about something that's considered very old fashioned even by their standards. It's a very culturally specific fear to have I guess. It'd be like applying very specific american traits to a Japanese person without context.

Oh my sweet summer child. Shooting a gun doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of what gun culture is like in this country. Generally a coherent reason is provided in those cases to carry and or fire one. Find me an anime where they're marching around with an assault rifle on their person to put Walmart in their place.

Charmander is cool and good.

Also I am suprised how hard Erika was in LGP. Good thing I've had the foresight to go back to the Pokemon Center and teach my Pikachu Floaty Fall halfway through the gym. I don't remember Mega-Drain Tangelas being such a pain in the rear end in RBY.

Mega drain is also like 90 power in LGP and like 40 power in RBY

The only thing weak about grass is that there are only 3 grass TMs and the only decent one is kept to either absolute endgame or post game.

Loser's Club update:

Shiny Raticate, Butterfree, Parasect, Farfetch'd, Kingler. Haven't picked up Voltorb yet. Just finished Sabrina's gym. Everyone is mid-40s and more glass pop guns than glass cannons.

Parasect and Butterfree have carried so far, but Kingler will likely do a lot of heavy lifting once I get Ice Beam. I caught a Modest Krabby and grinded from 15 to 45 in the Pokemon Tower in a desperate attempt to raise his Spl Atk to a respectable level.

Hasn't been too difficult thus far. Everyone can hold their own pretty well but trainer/gym 'mons are starting to paste a couple of my guys on the reg.
