Did you know 78,000 Pokemon fans entered to win the first official Mew distribution, but only 20 won the contest?

Drew some fanart for Dogasu's Backpack A representation of Dogasu and a Meowth. I've enjoyed his website for years and reading up on the comparisons between the English and Japanese versions of Pokemon.

Accidental Rocket Thoughts.

I find it a bit hilarious how Dogasu (who considered Rockets “lobotomized” and highly OOC during the time of BW) actually confirmed that they are the same people and nothing major has changed. Because yeah, that’s it! They are not perfect and they still make mistakes. Not to mention that Seger-Hakase (well-balanced counterpart of really clumsy Namba and all-business Sebastian) has his own “quirks” and unfortunate failures too. Thus, the Subway plan fails. Even though seriously motivated, they are still down on their luck losers, right? Especially with Satoshi and his pokemon in their way, right? And yes, maybe the writing isn’t perfectly logical but hey, it’s still Pokemon, even in BW. No one ever expect Rockets to become ultimate winners (even though that would be cool!), so in definition nearly all their schemes include illogical writing flaws. And yes, exactly, it was all about the atmosphere of the Best Wishes series (more serious and menacing) so aside from the “ilussion” (how Dogasu called it) not much has changed. But wait... if some people say the TRio were more credible, efficient villains, that’s exactly their point, right? They might not have changed. But atmosphere alone changes much. It might feel different, fresh, interesting, more realistic, more villainous, colder, more credible or just cool, however you perceive, and it certainly does justice to Rocket-Dan organisation. It’s definitely a fresh experience in and of itself but if you only approach it with no major prejudice. Meanwhile, Dogasu clearly approached BW with the serious prejudice of "I don’t really need to see Rockets involved in any kind of menacing plotline, I only wish to see their full palette of personalities". He even openly admited here that he would like to explore Seger-Hakase because “the TRio + the late-night train” was boring, even though the entire point was totally different to begin with! Maybe the storyline was supposed to be about the Rocket-Dan organisation (with organisation’s higher spirit: menacing and villainous) but it still belonged to Musashi, Kojiro and Nyasu, not Seger-Hakase, and that’s why their scenes have the higher priority here, even though - in such a serious form - some fans may consider them boring (Dogasu, for example). But then... it’s even more surprising because he straightforward went to this description about how Rockets are still ultimate failures who cannot even handle every single detail properly, like real soulless, professional criminals would do. Was he defending stronger innovativeness here, wishing for "actual" competence? Was he harassing BW whenever he could? I know not. Hmm, it was probably supposed to be anti-dumb correlation against some completely dumb BW fans who completely missed the point and the reality around them, praising something that was not there to begin with. I’m sure there were many of them, probably people who didn’t really care about the characters because they were not really their dedicated fans (well, what should we expect from such individuals, anyway). Hmm, but why did these various writing faults dumb the TRio if their original plan was to grab the subway cart with helicopter’s device anyway? If anything, it was probably Zager’s fault that this entire scheme failed - seriously, the old doctor was freaking clumsy in here! - but why did it dumb the TRio? It did not. Unless you really want to see it. Either way, it’s still surprising (Dogasu’s writing complaints), keeping in mind that XY has so many blatant writing flaws (lazy exits, lazy roles, and aside from visuals and exceptions - lazy approach) and yet it’s something like their short BW apparances (smoothly setting up the wider plot and still focusing on the TRio’s involvement) that were “completely unnecesary”, “pointless” or “cheap”. Well, so far... I wasn’t able to stumble upon any XY TR criticism of his. Only praises. Plus conclusions that TR needs to be “healed” from a “mire” of BW as if it was some kind of virus or else... so now it’s all on the medical support of the franchise to immunize the stuff in order to become really effective in their writing once again. You know, researching a proper cure takes time. And they also need a high level quarantine, I guess! That’s why some quality dropped off, right? Nah... as I once labeled this phenomenon: “XY is better than BW” syndrom, perhaps? On a side note: maybe many of current decisions and marketing solutions are shitty but I respect the stuff for keeping any kind! of continuity. It’s much better than reboot or else. And it gives me hope that it won’t ever turn into eternal BW-negation or their-older-pokemon-negation.

I can agree the subway arc episodes could have been better but... as far as this series goes, isn’t it one of the most climatic and menacing villainous schemes so far? And it was the fucking purpose so why is it a bad writing? Damn, I can even find so many similarities between the subway arc and the Pokemon Factory episode which is one of their best XY appearances (minus the quirks, Sonansu and lighhearted approach, things that BW chose not to include, of course). But yeah, that’s it. If you want to create an interesting, convincing and menacing villainous and evil plot of Rocket-Dan (as organisation), it’s all about shading and choice of proper colours. The fandom seems REALLY ignorant at times, seriously. It was never about the TRio “loosing everything that made them great” because they didn’t really lose anything in the first place. Ultimately, they just “did what they did” (or rather... willingly and joyfully went with the tide, what cannot be said about many fans or even voice actors), all for the sake of their personal Rocket-Dan orgasm and menacing atmosphere, concluded by Operation Tempest and Sakaki’s huge failure. The moral? Sometimes a boost is not there exclusively for the sake of it (and is not really a boost to begin with, exactly as Dogasu conclued) but rather for a certain effect in the narration and it all works completely fine with TRio’s personal aspirations and new found motivation. Sure, favourites and likes are favourites and likes and everyone has fun according to their owns. But logically and realistically speaking, there seems to be nothing horrendous about their serious Best Wishes portrayal.

Pokèmon Anime To Branch Off Next Season

While generations of Pokèmon fans grow older in Japan, they start requesting an anime that is more suited to their teenage tastes. Many Japanese teens have been bugging the shit out of The Pokèmon Company to make a more Shonen-like series.

Unfortunately, the United States markets have continued to want the series to appeal to the youngest of demographics possible, and the family friendly Nintendo of America prefer it that way as well.

To please all parties, there will now be two Pokèmon anime series, one for the Japanese audience, and one for the United States audience. The Japanese series will focus on more action involving Satoshi, including him gaining super powers of his own to match his Pokemon. It will be called Pocket Monsters: Super Ass Kicking Monster Battle Anime.

The series that will be airing in English will be titled Pokèmon: Red White and Blue. It will star Ash Ketchum, Misty Waterflower, and Brock the Rock. They will start this season's journey in New York City, where they will spend the time having Pokèmon battles on the subway while scarfing down donuts and submarine sandwiches. The series will be using as many of the pre 2006 voice acting team as they are able to.

"We just want those goddamn kids to stop sending us cranes and crazy e-mails," said director Kunihiko "Our Demographic Is Only A Number" Yuyama, "every goddamn week we are flooded with calls from kids speaking English, and all they ever say is 'Misty, Misty, Misty, voice actors, voice actors,' and I can't take any more!"

We contacted Dogasu "You Wouldn't Download A Car" of Dogasu's Backpack to get his opinion on this change, since he is known for comparing original Japanese episodes with ones aired overseas, and this would mean that things would be getting a bit difficult for him. We got nothing but profanity punctuated with the letters "SOVA" in various spots.

Dogasu, grow the fuck up. Or at least learn to control your ego.

When even I'm praising Team Rocket's roles right now and you can't stop with your "I'm a TRUE fan look at me!" bullshit, there's a problem.

[illustrious-rocket]

Ignoring the usual self-aggrandizing "we're the only TRUE Team Rocket fans!" crap for a minute...

He actually raises an interesting thought in this paragraph:

2014 is TV-Tokyo's 50th anniversary and the network said they'd be doing something special with Pocket Monsters sometime during the year.  What will that be?  I would love for it to be them doing HD remasters of the original series and airing that on, say, Tuesday nights, but I think it's probably more realistic to expect something like a one-off TV special instead.  Maybe Pocket Monsters The Origin 2 Gold & Silver?  Or something related to this year's movie, similar to last year's Myuutwo special?

Good question, what could this be?

I'm betting it'll probably be finally airing that Iris special, another Origins that covers GSC/HGSS, and some sort of XY special that indeed ties into the movie. Alternatively, I've thought before that there might be another Mewtwo special at some point to cover Mega Mewtwo X without a movie, so there's that. Of course, they could also air Team Rocket VS. Team Plasma! but ahaha we wouldn't want to piss off the shippers

Team Rocket: Goofy Villians, or Dangerous Villians?

Dogasu's at it again. Still can't cope with people disagreeing with him without undercutting them and shoving his "I'm right, you're wrong" attitude down their throats.

There's no such thing as "character development" in his mind, it's just rigid, set-in-concrete thinking that what he likes is automatically correct.
