“ガングロ” is not pronounced “(Gang) warfare - good - row” it pronounced like “Gong - goo - row” this proves you know nothing about the Japanese language due to your racist mispronounciation of Japanese words this also proves you like other weebs are a sycophantic racist ne'er-do-whell seeking to syphon from the Japanese culture rather educating yourself on how to pronounce the words correctly! Just like how “ラーメン” is not pronounced “Ray - men” it is pronounced “Raw - men” My username would be spelled “ガイスト” in romaji “Ga - I - Su - To” because “Geist” is pronounced “Guy - st”!

Why have they never lifted that ban on the Porygon Family? Pokemon should have let Porygon Z appear back when Ash was traveling through Sinnoh as it had been over 10 Years. The kids who watched the Porygon Episode all grew up long ago, & its evolutions were banned before they even existed. Tons of other 90s Anime (DBZ among them) had seizure scenes & some of them were allowed to keep them like End of Evangelion on Netflix. All this & Porygon Family is still banned 25 Years Later. The covering up of the Porygon Episode went way too far.

i noticed when watching some earlier episodes recently that when an electric move is being used, the frame rate is dropped significantly, probably to retroactively make the flashing less intense. after the porygon episode, the framerate is no longer dropped, it seems like they just animate the electricity differently this is just what ive noticed not looked up though, so it might not be accurate

Only the National Dex was preventing them from just combining the two lines! Any Major Shift in the Game Coding after that point, like moving to a new Platform, would have allowed Game Freak to do this - and with the National Dex's removal in Sword and Shield, there is _absolutely no_ reason to delay it any longer, besides *being Lazy...*

gamers throw around the big c word all the time but I want to pose the hypothetical re: Jynx's origins. so sure it's based on a jp fashion trend. but is it possible that this fashion trend may have been inspired by a mockery or at least a caricature of black people? societal trends in fashion, art, etc. are not exempt from being rooted in discrimination themselves. and while I could imagine the fashion trend might not have been invented with the intention of being offensive, and most people who partake in the look might not be trying to mock people, there is a pretty easy line to drawn here. between the hallmarks of fashion being heavy use of makeup and darkening one's skin. to be clear, I don't know what the origins of the fashion trend are. I don't know if it was at all meant to be an emulation of black people/african americans. I just think it's worth asking. whenever someone talks about jynx, they go "well jynx was actually supposed to be an emulation of a fashion trend so it was all a silly misunderstanding". and it just seems like we could follow that interrogation a little further in asking what the origins of the fashion trend were.

It wasn't even Porygon's fault. Pikachu used one of his electric attacks on a rocket in that episode, and the effect the animators used to show the rocket exploding sent some kids to the hospital with seizures. It was Pikachu's fault that Porygon was censored and removed from the anime. Ever since I figured that out I felt bad for Porygon and it's evolutions. They're neglected because of the actions of Pikachu.

There's plenty of other evidence around. 1. Girls holding the arms fawning over a guy dressed as a Machoke 2. Gardvoir being changed from just Amorphous to Human-Like, so it makes it have potential to breed with humans. 3. There was a Ditto gang where they had turned into humans, and they blended in so well the police needed help finding them. Ditto is well known for breeding any pokemon. 4. Lopunny's design 5. Latias turned into a human and kissed ash in an episode.

It has nothing to do with what they can breed with (it'd be as hell if field egg group meant they can breed with fields, or water1 meant they can breed with water, so human-like lik-wise wouldn't follow that line of "egg group named after what I can breed with".)

(19:00) I had a feeling Porygon was gonna be here. Unlike the other censored Pokémon, Porygon does not have popularity to save it. I bet 90% of people have never used Porygon because it was locked behind the Game Corner. Being the most expensive prize, Porygon took insane effort to obtain. Even if you did get Porygon, it did not have amazing stats. Poygon was the perfect Pokémon for Nintendo to quietly let go.

The stupid things about the Porygon episode is that: 1) Porygon may've shot the missiles, but PIKACHU is the one that blew them up and caused the flashing lights. 2) The animators could've just not animated the explosion as flashing lights. THEY chose to animate it that way instead of just a cloud of smoke or a flash of white light. There was no reason to essentially ban Porygon for something THE ANIMATORS caused.

The lovers-bit may just be a diffrent timeperiod than what we got to see and the same origins-thing was never directly contradicted iirc.

I think Nidoqueen can breed in the wild, but the fact she's partly based off rhinos, it's extremely difficult to breed them in captivity as female rhinos must be in groups to be able to feel comfortable and safe as they help protect each other and their offspring from potentially aggressive males that don't discriminate harming a young calf to mate with the female. So that being said, it might make sense that the larger evos would reference real life rhinos and the struggle that is trying to keep rhino species from going extinct when they are in such low numbers that it's so difficult to even breed them in capacity. So that's why we can't breed Nidoqueen. I also am slightly irritated by Porygon as it was freaking Pikachu, the mascot of the damn company, that did a thunderbolt that caused the odd light show, and yeah weird choice of using two colors to flash brightly, but Porygon legit had nothing to do other than it just happened to exist within that episode, and they had to have chosen to take Porygon because well it'd be pretty damn weird if we woke up the next day to find out their own mascot was just suddenly gone or replaced.

Baby pokemon aren´t useless. They actually serve a pretty important role in the games since they´re meant to be a way to add pokemon that you wouldn´t normally be able to have in early game for being too strong for that stage of the game. By giving them a pre-evolution the player can have access to such pokemon while also getting the evolution at a decent point of the game after training. Not to mention that they also make the evolution lines feel way more complete and it allows to make more sense as to how they can come out of an egg when the pokemon is quite big (and I´m still waiting for a pre-evolution to tropius and onix because there´s no way they can come out of an egg with that size.
