I specifically put in the message, "no purp/blue/red" on GTS. Guess which ones I always get -___-. And if not them, I get High Plains, which is my region's Vivillon -_____-

*Raises hand.*
I have access to Archipelago

Yeah, I've realised the futility of leaving a message :lol

I'm not sure I have a lot to offer, but is there anything you particularly want for one?

Zeo, when you achieve your quest don't forget to keep them for breeding in the future! We'll put our trust in you should we have any Vivilion cravings! :lol

I would if I could, any offspring just take your region so all I can offer is the Garden variety :(

However I'll probably amass a bunch of spares by the time I'm done (they've been coming and going on GTS) so I'll keep it in mind :p

Now, see that's the thing. The Scatterbug evolves based on their OT. So if we get eggs, they'll evolve into vivillons native to us, and if Zeo hatches them, they'll evolve into Vivillons native to Zeo's region

Not really, my Kalos Dex is already complete.

May I offer you a UK Scatterbug in exchange then?

Let's do it!

Wonderful :D Give me an hour or so to get on the game and I'll PM you when I'm ready!

Are any of the Pokemon animes actually any good? And do they require being watched in order?

In my opinion all except DP range from watchable to good.

I might check out Best Wishes and XY then as both seem as standalone as possible.

Really? DP was one of the few seasons I could tolerate.
Indigo League: Watchable (Cheesy, but still watchable)
Orange Islands: Depends on how you like Tracy
Johto: Please god let it end. WHY IS IT STILL GOING!? *Cries*
Advanced Generation: If you can survive an episode without wanting to introduce May to the metal end of a shovel, it's still unwatchable.
Battle Frontier (AG Part 2): A step up from the AG. Watchable.
Diamond/Pearl: Watchable. It drags, but it's watchable.
Best Wishes: Fairly decent.
XY: Haven't seen.

The rest are spin-offs, like Pokemon Chronicles and the Ranger special.

Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate (I think there was a second MD spin-off, unrelated to the first, but I'm too lazy to check) and Origins are completely unrelated to the primary anime.

I'll look into D&P then as well!

I've seen everything so far bar Best Wishes, which I dropped after about 10 episodes. Every region suffers from a drag factor (Johto especially, despite my love for it), but I just found every new character introduced in Best Wishes completely unbearable and Ash's stupidity reset even more obvious than usual.

That being said, I would like to go back and watch the Team Plasma stuff. Is that worth the watch?

I'm enjoying XY so far. It's only 3 episodes in. Though I wish there were better subs.

I had committed myself to watching Pokémon all the way through from the beginning. It was going well up until I got to Battle Frontier when the voices changed. The start of the change was REALLY REALLY bad. And then it got better a season later, but I didn't want to skip, so I just stopped. I haven't touched the anime outside of the movies until now.

Though, if I could find the entire series subbed, I could/would watch all of it. But that's hard to do with the older series. I may try to look for Battle Frontier onward so I can actually watch it. I've gotten used to the JP voices anyway. Even Meowth.

I'm thinking maybe I won't bother with Pokémon anime after all, except maybe X & Y but I can only seem to find dubbed episodes.

Goddangit I wish I could get online to have a chance at all these Vivillons. ;_;

I despise May.
She was rude and unpleasant, but was never called out on it. She rarely ever lost a contest. Her flaws were never played up, and she was often treated as infallible except for that one time her asshole-ish-ness caused Max to run away. She got everything because she was an 8 year old in the body of a 14 year old girl.
I did not like May. I still don't like May. Her design is nothing special, her attitude makes me wonder why people find her charming, and she won contests using tactics that caused Dawn to lose in DP.
It's fine if you love AG, May, and Gen 3. I can't stop you, and I won't try to stop you.
But it won't stop me from loathing the character completely.

Best Wishes is regarded as better than previous Pokemon series. Why'd you stop?
I'd take Iris and what's his name over Bianca and Cheren any day of the week :lol

Sinnoh is probably my favorite section of the Pokemon anime, mostly due to Paul. I view him as the perfect rival; Ash's opposite in every way and a ruthless trainer. Plus the fact that Ash had assembled a REALLY impressive Pokemon team by the League makes Sinnoh worth it to me.

I utterly HATED "Best Wishes." I felt Ash took a massive step backwards in terms of character and intelligence, and the Unova League displays this more than anything else when Ash's main rival this time turned out to be a complete and utter moron who didn't even know the number necessary for a full Pokemon battle!

I liked Paul too. He was fun.

That's fair enough.

I thought May was ten.

Except he was not Ash's main rival during BW. He was the person Ash makes friends before the league and then loses to. It has happened in every series except D/P.

"Main" or otherwise, that doesn't diminish the fact that Cameron was an absolute idiot and probably should have been kicked out of the tournament for not following the rules for Full Battles. It only serves to highlight how stupid BW made Ash when he had to lose the league to someone even stupider.

She was. That was the point. She acted nowhere near that age in a body that was far too developed to be at that age.

I agree with the Paul thing, as boring as Sinnoh was he was a complete badass.

Ash's main rival in BW was the guy who took photos everywhere but for the life of me i can't remember hi's name.

I do agree with you he was an idiot and was highly annoying.

I sometimes question if the character designers even know what 10 year olds look like.

So I'm watching the opening episode of XY now.

Hell yeah Mega Blaziken in the opening few minutes!

Maybe it's just because I grew up with it, but as far as quality goes this dub ain't half bad. That still didn't stop Ash from being insanely fucking annoying. As such, I was pretty much ready to turn this off, but the second half of the episode was pure action and genuinely really good action so I actually had quite a lot of fun.

He was called Trip.

Considering Shauna's design, I'm pretty sure they don't :lol

I do need to check out XY. Sounds fun.

these guys are slow subbign the stuff but man they are really good at there subs i follow them alot and there planning to sub xy 3 due to that ep felt googled translated

I kind of want a full anime based around Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. I think it could be fun.

http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/x64bA_fkqe4/maxresdefault.jpgthe area of flesh nere here well checst i swear should be a cleavage there

Both Iris and what's his name (yeah, I don't remember it either :lol)'s dialogue annoyed the crap out of me. Iris' every other line was calling Ash a kid and waiter-boy just said everything had flavour and it sounded ridiculous.

I've never been a huge fan of gym leaders as travelling partners either despite it happening every season. Just here it struck me as particularly glaring.

i agree brock was good for indigo but he ran his course when he continued its nice to have a gym leader as part of it i do like XY having the ecletric gym leader as his compainion also serena as a back story with as as well

Brock only felt like he was running hi's course in Sinnoh, he didn't do anything really good in that series.

Oh no. Generic anime character isn't showing cleavage.
I mean, it's not like Google Image search (With safe search on) couldn't fix your need for dully drawn anime breasts.

It's fine. I guess after coming off the games with burning rage over how Bianca had to insert herself into every little thing, seeing her not be a main protagonist helped keep me calm :lol

Misty didn't do anything in Kanto. Literally. Misty, as a character, did nothing important. She only factored in during filler (Except on Cinnabar Island, I guess).
May didn't do anything good in Hoenn except waste time on contests. Max held more importance than she did.
Dawn was much of the same, but I grant her amnesty because she wasn't as grating to watch as the other two.

Citing Brock as "Not doing anything good" is like pointing out how Ash only used Pidgeotto to blow away smokescreens and pop Team Rocket's balloon without acknowledging that Noctowl and Swellow were demoted to the exact same thing in their respective seasons.

He had Croagunk though, and that's good enough for me.
