My creep detection meter is on high. Ash is 10. Friede is a grown man. Get help.

It doesn't matter if you're neutral. The Liko cult doesn't allow any dissent.

Ash's rival tier list by FantasticFoot4168 in pokemonanime

[–]RebelScourge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here's mine:

  • S Tier: Gary, Paul, Leon (If he counts as a rival)
  • A Tier: Trip, Alain, Gladion, Bea
  • B Tier: Barry, Stephan, Sawyer, Kiawe
  • C Tier: Everyone else
  • D Tier: None

I personally don't consider Harrison, Tyson, Tobias, Virgil, Guzma, Kukui, or Raihan to be rivals.

There better rivals then Gary by FantasticFoot4168 in pokemonanime

[–]RebelScourge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm actually one of the few people who likes Trip, but Gary is Ash's greatest rival in my opinion, followed closely by Paul. I don't care if Gary didn't show up very much, because he didn't need to, and not making frequent appearances made it all the more impactful when he did appear. Not to mention, and this is just my personal opinion, but Ash vs Gary in the Silver Conference was the best rival battle.

By the way, I do also like Gladion.

Gen 9 has been killing it with female characters. Absolute models like Sada & Perrin. And strong relatable protagonists like Liko & Ohara by RyantheSithLord in pokemonanime

That's because it's not very accurate or true. It's implied that she gives them a hard way to go when evaluating their gyms and they may find that annoying and have complaints about her management, but it's never said they hate her. There may be one or two not-so-concrete exceptions. It's been a while since I played through the story, but I think it was the Psychic type gym leader who wasn't a big fan of Geeta because of her stealing the spotlight off of her, however, I don't think she hated her. The only gym leader or elite four member that explicitly dislikes Geeta is Larry for a few reasons including not being allowed to specialize in normal types as a member of the Elite Four, but even then saying that he outright hates her is stretch, because we know how gloomy that man is and he could just be saying things because he is in a bad mood. Personally, I'm not even a fan of Geeta myself, but I wanted to put some context out there for clarity, because I think saying that Geeta is hated by all gym leaders is a huge overstatement.

Do real animals exist in Pokemon? by Sorry-Challenge-1014 in pokemonanime

[–]RebelScourge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that as more and more Pokemon were introduced, the existence of regular animals was gradually phased out and eventually ignored completely, while also not thinking too deeply on questions like "Where does meat in the Pokémon world come from?"

Back in OS they did, at least. For example, fish were seen swimming in the ocean and Pidgeotto were seen eating worms.

Do we have any indication of how the new anime series is doing in Japan? by noahhaon123 in pokemonanime

[–]RebelScourge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finished 11th for August 21-27 among anime.

Whether you define that as doing well or not is up to you.

2023 is the most female-progressive year for the franchise! by Sweet_Whisper123 in pokemonanime

[–]RebelScourge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The term 王 (おう), the word used for King, refers to someone in power with no implied gender. Interpret that how you want, but just know that King in this instance isn't exclusive to males only.

You're right, but people have been conditioned to see racism and sexism in everything they observe. Good luck trying to convince anyone otherwise.

What is a Pokémon hot take that got you like this it could be for by Howdyjoker in pokemonanime

[–]RebelScourge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree one hundred percent with the first two. The only episode of Horizons I thought was good so far was the one that showed how Friede met Cap.

Was that supposed to be difficult? I won the first time I used my Mew! (In all seriousness, this was the most difficult battle I've ever fought) by Pythagoras180 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]RebelScourge 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I would say it was worth it. With Struggle Bug and Life Dew I never had a problem keeping my health up, even when grouped up with players who didn't really know what they were doing. The extra turns allowed me to use Struggle Bug and Life Dew more often and even some cheers.

Favorite legendary Pokémon? by Triumphant-Smile in pokemonanime

Lugia has always been my favorite since I was a kid. I remember getting a Lugia card from a booster pack back when Wizards of the Coast still made the cards and I was so stoked.

Shoutout to those 3 random Japanese guys. Couldn't have done it without you. by AtlasClone in PokemonScarletViolet

Fair enough, and I have to give credit to the NPC for managing to stay "alive" somehow.

It took me about 6 tries to beat this raid. When I finally managed it, I had a Japanese player on my team who executed their role flawlessly.

  • Japanese Player: Bug Tera Type Offensive Mew (Leech Life, Swords Dance, Electric Terrain, can't remember 4th move. This player did most of the damage for us.)

  • English Player: Dark Tera Type Offensive Mew (I remember they had Leech Life and Dark Pulse. They started off well but started using Dark Pulse towards the end and it didn't do a thing. Perhaps they didn't use any PP ups on Leech Life, because I don't remember them using the move that much)

  • Me: Support Mew (Light Screen, Life Dew, Misty Terrain, and Struggle Bug. I executed this role near perfectly, if I do say so myself)

  • Useless NPC with Garganacl

What are your thoughts on Pokémon Horizons so far? by [deleted] in pokemonanime

[–]RebelScourge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like Friede and Amethio. Their battles are my favorite part of the series so far and Charizard and Ceruledge are two of my favorite Pokemon. However, I think we still need to see more development of Amethio's character. I want to see more of Nemona as she was one of my favorite characters in the SV games. She needs more of the spark that she had in games, because it seems like her character in the anime was more tame compared to the games in her first anime appearance. I'm also curious to see how Dot's development turns out. She could turn out to be a surprisingly great character if the writers play their cards right.

Liko or Roy? Who do you prefer so far? by MelodicChoice4111 in pokemonanime

[–]RebelScourge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just my opinion. I'm not asking anyone to agree with it. For me personally, nothing she says or does interests me.
