I'm pretty sure like even the people who make the anime are basically pretending that arc never happened lol.

Fighting reminds me of Budokai Tenkaichi mixed with Tales. I'm really excited for this, but I kind wanted either a 2D or Tekken 3 style fighter.

I don't agree. I think a traditional 3D fighter, like Tekken would work just fine.
I suppose this looks like snails racing to you, huh? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifQkl-pUs2U
Yeah, that's actually very slow. I thought you were going to give me some eye-opening example.
lol wut

I'm just joking around here, but this is what FireRed says about Machamp:
FireRed said:
When the two Pokémon are close to each other it looks very Tekken-like, don't you agree?
The anime keeps ignoring Pikachu's true lvl.
And that's really frustrating and garbage.
I'd rather they keep Pikachu extremely overpowered ,but that Ash wouldn't want to unfairly beat his opponent's weak pokemon and,as such, keeps Pikachu out of most fights.
Anime logic != Game logic.
They're totally different. There's no Thunder Armor in the games.

Like the Black and White game, the BW anime went for a similar "reboot" feel...Ash got a new design (more noticeable than before as his eyes changed), and was also dumbed down. He'd actually gotten more competent in the Advanced and Diamond and Pearl series, but they took him back to perhaps even worse than he was in the original series, at one point he goes into a battle and forgot to bring any of his other Pokemon with him iirc. Pikachu also seemed far weaker too, but that was probably because the battles that series sucked and were really lame.
XY bumped up the competency again thankfully, and they basically hired a lot of new staff members too iirc. But basically the BW Anime sucked, and if you don't like the anime, basically imagine it even worse.

Sort of, but not knowing what animations correspond to what button, you could say it looks like a lot games.
XY anime barely even features the Japanese music which is based on the games. That's already a big no-no.
BW did suck, though. Screw Iris.
I understand.
But ,still, the anime implies earning experience and that the more training and battles a pokemon has done,the more powerful and skilled it becomes.
Pikachu is the finest example of this.He and Ash conquered multiple regions.
And I know that Ash and Pikachu get rebooted every time a new season comes by and I despise that in the anime.

XY really isn't any better in the writing department.

I mean, there's only two less buttons less than Tekken right? Not counting the special move button which probably works like D in BlazBlue? I always felt like 4 buttons was an unnecessary amount for Tekken since it's not like Street Fighter where each button only corrosponds to a single standing/crouching/jumping attack.
I'm really bad at Tekken, so I'm excited for the change. Lucario/Pikachu looked boring, but Machamp/Suicune didn't.

Just because you want it to happen, doesn't mean it should or will. Why should (arguably, now with Youkai Watch) the biggest franchise in this genre pick a character from the JV team?

honestly i thought x/y had a pretty strong story tbh(at least better than bw) they didnt reset pikachu this time and ash didnt actually lose the first fight he faced and some of the gym battles have been pretty well animated and hype (im not to big a fan of how they are going with serena but everything else wasnt too bad)

Gen IV was seriously the best.
Platinum.
Heart Gold and Soul Silver
Mysterious Dungeon 2: Explorers of Darkness/Space/Sky
Pokemon Ranger 2: Shadow of Almia
All great games.
Gen IV had the best games for sure.
The main thing for me in Gen IV was that Sinnoh had actual thought put into it. Mt. Coronet being a huge obstacle in the middle of the region and you having to travel through it numerous times is a prime example of this.
Kalos in comparison looks like a collage of areas. Sinnoh was cohesive and really well thought out.

Yeah, I felt Unova felt really hodgepodge as well...
I think this may be because Unova and Kalos were based on foreign locations, so I think GameFreak might've made them more "theme park-y" since they themselves aren't as familiar with them, compared to first four Regions which were based on Japan locations and thus the team had a better understanding of them, and making them come across as authentic.

Mt Coronet was miserable to travel though though. I know what you're saying with cohesiveness, but the whole thing was a chore for me, I don't remember any of the areas fondly. I think Gen IV is growing on me in retrospect, but I think it was pretty bad in almost any area except music. I still don't like any of the evolutions/preevolutions either. I'm starting to like Limineon in the same way I like Stunfisk though lol.
It also added tons of legendaries but I think it only liked one or two. Does anyone remember the emotions trio fondly?
Going from Mt. Coronet to Route 216 for the first time is one of my most fond memories of Pokémon. I think Mt. Coronet acting as a barrier was great.
It was a chore to travel through, I agree, but it's where a lot of the story related events occur and offers more exploration than any other dungeon in Pokémon other than the Dark Cave. I thought it was fitting.
wat
Can we please go to places like this in whatever the next Pokemon game is?
This guy needs to be in this
Yes please. Its a crime that Primeape isnt recognized in more games.
Not really. People blow that way out of proportion.
Pikachu lost against Trip's Snivy because it had been hit by a direct attack from Zekrom and couldn't use any moves. I always compare it to Level 100 Pikachu VS Level 5 Snivy. Pikachu is at low HP due to its previous battle. It uses Thunder...it misses. Snivy attacks. It knocks Pikachu out. Similar scenario
Plus, as has been said, anime doesn't deal with levels.
It actually really is. I've been impressed with it.

What about in that episode The School of Hard Knocks? I remember that episode talking about levels?

while i like gen 4's maps im really not fond of how gen 4 was systematically yes i think they fixed the speed issue in platnium but i found gen 4 to be relatively weak (which is why despite it being compatible to a point i hope gf makes a remake at some point)
and for remakes i was hoping hg/ss would go a bit further with the map layout a bit with some of the older cities (kinda like what they did for or/as)imo it the map layout felt too 1:1 to g/s/c
i kinda like azelf tbh and i seem to be on the weirder end where i prefer the newer pokemon over the older ones i think gen 1 while it has some cool pokemon are pretty low in my all time faves list lol

Ninth episode in the series and literally the only one in 800+ that has made any mention of levels.
The very same episode also has Ash crushing on a girl. The writers didn't really have a tight grip on things yet.

Nah, it's not. Taking 47 episodes for Serena to catch a second Pokemon is nothing to be impressed by.

this looks great.
can't wait to punch myself while in fact punching wobbuffet.
Also I hope that psyduck has some sort of migraine superattack

As in "Heathcliff"
So I did too until I found out in one of those pokemon thread on NeoGAF.
Agreed.
Hand over your troll certificate please since you just lost your job.
Yeah that was great. They should do the same for other gens. They rushed the plot but I guess they couldn't make it five hours long.
I am not a fan of this DBZ style gameplay. I would have preffered something more like tekken, with fighting types pokemon.
I'm probably in a minority and pokemon fans seem to be happy with the roster and the gameplay so good for them.
I was excited and now I think I'll pass on this.

I'm not sure if we'll get all the Hitmons. They'd all fill (except maybe Hitmontop?) more or less the same role as Machamp, right? A physical attacker that basically has no special moves from far away?
Hitmonlee = kick based Dhalsim.
