Yeah, they tried to explain it away with Zekrom zapping Pikachu and 'resetting' him though it's a rather weak excuse.



Hmm, that's actually a pretty decent justification for it. Something palatable that they could use anyway.



I'd have to check more on that (I heard about it), though it could simply be a new voice actor.

Yeah, the anime does have it's distinct problems. The only really positive thing I can think of is that Ash actually uses proper strategy now and wins his badges instead of "aim for the horn!" shenanigans, so he actually has learnt stuff which makes him much more tolerable, particularly showing the most competence during the Sinnoh saga.

Unfortunately where Ash got better, poor Brock got flanderized into becoming far worse and more one-dimensional where pretty much every episode he fell in love with a new female character, so it was a relief he finally left the show after Sinnoh.

Also it does drag since Ash never gets anywhere within the Pokemon Leagues so it's all a foregone conclusion, especially with the Sinnoh league where he got infamously got pulverized by Tobias with lolDarkrai of all things, which he barely overcame... and then got finished off by Latios right after. Yes, Ash was at the top of his game during this series, so they put in an overpowered way to finish him off.

People were hoping for a better turn out in the Unova league, as Ash actually got further with each tournament... but Ash actually did even worse and got beaten by Cameron, a trainer even dumber than he ever was (brought 5 pokemon to a six-on-six battle, thought he only needed seven badges to enter the Unova League, which he thought was taking place in Ecruteak City in Johto, geez), and who lost in the very next round, all of which just made the fans even more annoyed.

And he also used his Pokedex on Roxie's Koffing. After over 5 years of seeing James's Koffing/Weezing. Sigh. At least have another character check out what it is if they have to inform the new kids that badly. So yeah, I've always thought the anime needed a reboot for years now. Or at least better/new writers, considering they've slumped again after Sinnoh.

On the contrary, the game engine is better than ever. You can actually run indoors now, the engine is quicker, TM's are reusable(!), there's more sidequests and postgame stuff to playthrough, the type balance has been improved so Psychic doesn't roflstomp everything, and there's actually a decent lot of Bug, Dragon and Ghost types & moves now, amongst others.

Also Gen I had a Pokeball that evolves into a bigger Pokeball, a mole that becomes 3 moles, a magnet that becomes 3 magnets, and a pile of sludge that becomes a bigger pile of sludge, which doesn't help as arguments like these often pop up:



It also doesn't help that those who hate the newer Pokemon also have a habit of never having played the newer games, making it a case of Complaining About Shows(Games) You Don't Watch(Play). So all things considered, the argument's never held much water for me. *shrugs* Nostalgia can be a powerful thing... sometimes things have been better or worse than I remembered. All generations have their good and meh really. Personally my favourite is Gen III set in Hoenn. Basically this:

And now the rumours for Sylveon being of a new 'Fairy' type have increased.

The reason being, is that the same guy that leaked the entire Black/White Pokedex before the games came out (and was indeed correct), has said that Xerneas (the blue legendary stag), Sylveon, and Clefairy are Fairy type and that Yveltal (the red legendary bird/wyvern) is Dark/Flying. It's still unconfirmed of course, though the source is interesting considering his record.

Also, Sylveon's name meanings:

Japanese- Nymphia
French- Nymphali
(nymphs are nature spirits)

English & Italian- Sylveon
(could refer to sylphs, which are air elementals or fairies, or Sylvan, which refers to an association with the woods)

German- Feelinara
('Fee' means fairy apparently)

If we get a new nature/fey/fairy type it wouldn't be too unusual - we do have dragon and ghost types already, which are supernatural creatures.

And for those put off by the thought of fairies, don't forget that banshees are actually fairies, along with dullahans (headless horsemen) and redcaps who murder travellers and dye their hats with their victim's blood. They aren't all pleasant and sweet creatures, no. Think of the old kind of Brothers Grimm tales and you'll be in the right direction. How much of a sinister route they could go with some Fairy types, I don't know.

Done and dusted.

The 17 year old kenzzbabee again. Not to return.

Done, her accounts are now banned and she has also been IP banned.

New trailer:

The new Mewtwo form seems to be dubbed 'Awakened Mewtwo' so far. Also a short featuring Sylveon:



People are mainly rumouring Sylveon could be a Bug, Flying or Normal type, or something new altogether like a Fairy type.

Skrillex.

I think they mean it would be an alternate form, much like the various Rotom's, Shaymin-S, Giratina-O/etc, not an evolution.
