Every main character in the Pokemon anime owns. :colbert:

...Except for Serena who was so paper thin it hurt in an anime filled with paper thin characters.

True, Serena is indubitably the only truly bad character among all of Ash's traveling companions. Such a waste of a good character design.

Anniversary celebration.

It isn’t even a reboot, the main anime is still chugging alone on its original timeline.

They didn't reboot anything, the movie isn't canon. And they changed stuff because it'd be boring as poo poo to just rewatch the exact same thing again.

If you want that, just watch the anime, it's not like it ever tried to not do the exact same stuff over and over again, at least until Alola forced it to change.

Because nostalgia sells to older people(but they don't want to watch the exact same thing again), and little kids won't give a poo poo that it doesn't match 20 year old cartoon episodes they never saw.

Using Stealth Rocks causes every copy of a Pokémon game the user owns to be completely wiped. Some might say this is harsh, but I believe GF did what they had to do.

So I finally got my New Nintendo 2DS XL and the god drat Hori screen protectors didn't ship with my order for the case and they won't be here until Wednesday. RIP!

Anyway I think I am gonna go with Pokemon X and Alpha Sapphire (cause big dumb whale is good) to start working on the Pokedex while I wait for Ultra SuMo to release.

i think Pikachu's words were something like "Pi pika pika, be because... because I want to be here you".... and then Ash takes like five hyper beams to the back simultaneously and loving dies.

of course that's not that shocking, either he or Pikachu dies in like half these things.

The shocking one in this one was the guy relating the tale of how his pet Pokemon came and cradled him in a Blizzard to protect him and loving froze to death.
