Wait there's an episode of the anime where Ash is actually competent?

It happens alarmingly often. They just aren't as memorable as when he's dumb.
Then again, it was May's fault they had to lower Ash back down to idiot levels, so...
*Adds another reason to hate May*

He has shown in many times he can be competent, it's just that anything he learns is inmediately tossed aside.

Why because May is the only character who actually does her job right?

You mean learn to not be a bitch? Because she failed hard at that.
Or you mean learn how to be a good coordinator? Because she was never a good one.
I honestly don't see anything May did right beyond being a bitch.

Did another 3 ratings battles tonight - lost 2, won 1.

Given how my success rate with these things seem to be 50/50, I think I'll take a break from them for now. Too many Aegislash and Greninjas popping up.

Talonflame seems quite popular too, which surprised me. Must be better than I assumed it is as a fighter.

R.I.P Barbara the Zubat.

You were gonna do great things... Now i'm screwed on the Eterna gym.

New team member added though, IAM Buizel.

I'm not surprised. In order to take advantage of Aegislash's stat changing, you have to move slower than it, which is a tall order...

And Talonflame being popular doesn't surprise me. With Stealth Rock currently at a low thanks to the small amount of Pokemon who learn it naturally and Bank not being out for another month, Charizard and Talonflame's biggest fear isn't a confirmed threat right now.

Sounds like you got some grinding to do!

Talonflames hidden ability is quite broken, priority to all flying moves would make anything popular.

Mega Kangaskhan~

Haha, I thought you would. Though it's making fun of Fils-Aime. Being a joke that the Magikarps' bodies weren't ready.

Also, outside of the fact that he's saying so many of them wrong/slurring the names, this is kinda cool.

Day 4 No ralts...

This is a really good cover of the ending theme:

Does anyone have a Swift Swim Poliwag/Poliwhirl/Poliwrath?

Lol I watched that earlier, crazy fun video.

Well...I'm ready for a few battles. My Friend Code is 4184-1749-8875 (Mii: sandwraith, IGN: Gibs). If anyone wants a couple of battles, let me know.

decided to restart X & try things differently. chose Chespin this time.

Good choice.

He learns Rollout early on, which has helped me against Fire, Bug and Flying.

I'm just gonna play off line for the rest of my shint hunt, people keep wanting to trade Pokemon with me is breaking my flow.

When Greninja uses Ice beam…am I the only one that sees him using Ultraman's Spectrum Ray?

You just made me want this game even more.

I think i just broke the chain of Ralts eggs... dangit.

So I might have just got a Japanese Articuno from GTS for a you know what...

This is getting crazy now.

EDIT: Should also say this was by SEARCHING for Articuno not requesting one. It's amazing that people are willing to risk getting really common patterns with such big legendaries.

I've seen a bunch of Monsoon Vivillons with people requesting for Zapdos, i'm searching for Zapdos so i can get one.

I think I'll try using a Mega Baynette. I wonder how well that'll go...

That's one creepy design...

That's one of the reasons why I decided about using it :lol

Matrix, you are a twisted person. :lol

I can't help it~ :p

I need a Thick Fat Swinub.

Note to self: Find a Noivern with the infiltrator ability when I get Pokemon X. It may be useful in a battle.

Blegh. I hatched a shiny Ralts in a box and a half, but it's male. Anybody have a shiny level 1 female Ralts to trade, perhaps? ( ;) )

I didn't read all of your post. I don't have a shiny female ralts to trade.

Just watched the entirety of Pokemon origins.

I was expecting the ending to be something like. somebody barges in. "Prof. oak! Elm has just discovered at least 50 unknown Pokemon!" Then everyone looks at Red and he put on hi's hat. "Here we go again!"

The animation for a fainting Kangaskahn is depressing as fuck.

The joey actually turns around and looks at its pained mother collapsing as if it's saying "Mommy? What's wrong, Mommy?"

Anyone game for a 4 person Multi Battle?

Incentive to never let my Kangaskhan faint: Rising :lol

I'll battle.

Cools. I'mma give it a few more minutes to see if anyone else will join. If not, we can have a 1 on 1.

Bonjour :lol
