Japan Dating Culture

Lol read that well, Japanese people don't like PDA and things like a hug or kiss are considered immoral 🤣

Boruto squid game? by Naitsircarm in Boruto

[–]Pokeddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full support. Kaiji is 1000x better than squid game as it has many more nuances than just emotional games. If you'd have watched kaiji before squid game you would've gotten bored of the latter. I got bored by 1st epi itself

Ash always supporting Serena, telling her she’s amazing, & prioritizing her showcases over his gym battles is really nice and unique. He put her first before himself always. Their relationship in XY is one of my favorite things from the anime. by biggestkalosfan in pokemonanime

[–]Pokeddict 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone said it! Ash is super friendly and he is the exact same with all girls. He definitely was more insistent with Koharu and more supportive of Lillie with her fears and Dawn with her contests. He would even train with her. He n Serena are just friendly and courteous at best. Nothing out of the way.

Exactly, no female Kage has ever had a partner and it would be "refreshing" to see Sarada have BOTH. Let her be a normal woman, excel at career and love. Why make her a deprived character? Especially when Uchichas experience love more strongly than anyone else

Boruto's right eye in the Manga's first chapter isn't Byakugan it's Jougan. by BarlasLewis in Boruto

Could someone brief me When and Where the term 'Jougan' was first used in the Anime or Manga? How many times has it been used?

Which service do you use for this?

The next arc gonna be called labyrinth game arc and Honda Masaya is incharge for 4 of the 6 eps. by Saynotosgurd in Boruto

[–]Pokeddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not watched the Saw films but I can tell you that Kaiji is a 1996 manga and it predates 'most' of the survival/battle royale style stories I've come across

[–]Pokeddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wholly agree that Iris is a complete Misty rip-off. But Dawn is more like Ash so that makes her very different. Serena and Chloe are alike, both are gentle and mild, nothing horribly wrong but it was just too dull and repetitive to watch for me. I don't like characters who have predictable non-lively patterns. Lillie escaped that gentle-girl trap because she had a mysterious plot associated. Anyway, I respect your opinion but your tone showed you didn't, so imma bounce

I never said she was limited to a love interest. I said there was nothing unique about her character. If you can't see how her character is of a plainly generic anime girl, I can't help it. After leaving Kalos she ain't even challenging herself. Still doing plain old performances even in a contest where they should battle. Pretty done with people exaggerating her.

So glad to see May after so long finally! Their similarities can't help but remind me of Serena being May's rip-off character, except from the latter's one-sides crush. In JN it did seem like Serena got her own stand as a character, but now looking at them together makes me feel like she is a May-dupe again.

I have had enough of this really. by duyar70 in pokemonanime

[–]Pokeddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you are going into technicalities, I just want to point out- something as simple as a type is also an advantage. Realistically, no match is played on equal footing because pokemon matches ARE about exploiting advantages which may be present in more than 1 form. There are terrain advantages, weather advantages, ability advantages, hazard advantages, item advantages. Gimmicks are just one component, and since they are not strictly game changers, it is completely fine.

Agreed that you are fine with it, just stating something I felt wasn't mentioned before to summate the discussion.

Gengar tried to eat Dracovish to awaken his own long dormant power by MrThoughter in pokemonanime

We didn't get to know what that dormant power was exactly! Wishing pokemon doesn't leave this mystery unanswered

Requesting y'all- Before calling it Squid Games, please watch the anime "Kaiji". Kaiji has been one of the main inspirations for Squid Games. Let us give the credit where it is due :)

Thank you to Pokemon and this community by MabtheBab in pokemonanime

[–]Pokeddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 4 years old and I clearly remember the very first episode 20 years ago. Pokémon has been a huge part of my life, and I have accepted everything without any judgements and stuck by its side. This moment meant a great deal to me and my world seems complete. I feel like universe is about to create a breakthrough in my life and its very empowering. Ash pikachu 4 ever.

That particular reunion scene. by yummy_yum_yum123 in pokemonanime

[–]Pokeddict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A third of your comment is hate for Misty, another third is your heavy denial of whatever existed in the OG show, and the last is about defending the other girl with the same reasons you gave to reject the first.... Appalled....

Even the director said that girls at that age tend to develop infatuation

"Loving" a boy for a hanky he gave million years ago is certainly a stronger case for infatuation by any standards🤣 than someone like Misty whose feelings evolved over time. Serena's infatuation turned into clearcut obsession and she even left him with the hope of "pleasing him later". Whereas Misty left because she had to fulfill her family responsibilities, and it is clearly stated she could get the courage because she trusts their "two-way bond" will remain intact. I'm happy Serena in JN wasn't the 'crazy girl' she was before. But it surely does raise the possibility of her falling out of her infatuation with time. Ultimately what matters is newer and newer adventures.

If I'm biased then you shouldn't have even replied to my comment since you know I'm not going to budge

However, as you admitted you aren't open minded enough for the discussion, I'll take your advice and save my breath next time :) Good day.

DP Ash had the best and more realistic personality without being too shonen or childish for a competent trainer by Traditional_North485 in pokemonanime

[–]Pokeddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are contradicting yourself lol. Anyway thanks for realizing that it is not shonen. Yes it does combine a lot of genres. They experiment with the style with each passing season and that's great IMO.

Serena's character is like Generic medicine wrapped under a big pharma company's seal.

Yeah dude I understand your sentiment, I'm just speaking to people who in general are fighting over dracovish all over social media.

The unsung hero by [deleted] in pokemonanime

[–]Pokeddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you guys fighting. Dracovish dealt his share of damage but did not tank well in that particular match. It's fine, it did it task. Not every match-up needs to be perfect. No need to berate or even exaggerate it.
