#ash old pokémon

[one-half-guy]

Still not over the fact we didn't have Ash previous pokémon in early Journeys, such wasted potentials 😤

I wanted to have seen Infernape, Pignite and Hawlucha going Trio Of Fathers Mode over Riolu and training him until he became a Lucario!!

I WANTED TO SEE THE FIGHTING-TYPES TRAINING THIS FIGHTING-TYPE-JR!!

Also, Scraggy could've easily been that rival who nobody would take serious and would always just look immature, but in the end be the one to help Riolu/Lucario the most!! WE WERE ROBBED 😤😤

I wanted to see Charizard become best buddy of Dragonite and them getting along in keep an eye on the other pokémon from Sakuragi Park, just like he surely does with Bulbasaur and the voices in my head are right!! 😤

Also, I missed the double battles, these two would be SUCH a duo of beasts!!

You know what?? Hawlucha and Oshawot should've bonded with Farfetch'd, they would be perfect to teach this duck how to respect their trainer!!

Noctowl playing the babysitter to Gengar is some ride I'll die on, this oldman owl KNOWS to deal with these ghostly gremlins!!

Dracovish actually is hard to picture with the old ones... Maybe Glalie and Snorlax... Maybe his capture could be when Ash stopped rotate the team...

ANYWAY, I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE GOT AT LEAST ONE FRAME OF FLASHBACK BATTLING FOR THE NORMAL AND SUPER CLASS!! While the new ones got the full on-screen important battles.

You know, I’ve been mulling it over, and most “woke-ified” redesigns of popular characters could actually be good as an AU if you think about how X character would be affected by being in Y group, as well as the effects on the story they’re in. So long as you’re not claiming to “fix” the character, it’s harmless fun and it’s a neat thought experiment. People are just too easily offended these days.

"ART IS TALENT" No. Clearly not 💀

Art is training, you can't be the strongest from the beginning, you just have to persevere, even if you struggle

Very old drawings plus some old drawings lol.

I was feeling unmotivated and decided to glance through some old drawings, I found several that I look forward to updating (coloring in) and redrawing some of them as well.

I think I was around 19 when I drew the power puff girls crossovers and the pikachu GIRs were a few years ago.

best trio!! argue with the wall!!!

[paleode-ology]

every day I’m struck with the urge to play pokemon but whenever I do it’s not the same as it used to be. The magic is gone and I!! Keep!!!! Forgetting!!!!! I’m like ohhhh maybe this time I’ll have fun playing but as soon as I get sent out into the world to endlessly battle and think about type matchups I curl up into a ball and cry like I just wanna be friends and go on an adventure with my Pokémon but like fun and cool and not endlessly grinding plus I’m so tired of staring at computer screens genuinely save me

Happy Birthday Ash! 🎉

I had turned 10 years old a few months before he started his journey in the US on September 8, 1998 so I really felt like I was growing up beside him. Veronica Taylor will always be my Ash. It’s bittersweet to see him gone from the anime but he actually achieved his dream of becoming a Pokémon master, I seriously never thought I’d see the day ♥️

happy birthday to ash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You said you like sharing Team Rocket facts, sooo, what are some of your favourite facts that you don't get to share often or think not many people know? :D

Yam's Top 10 Team Rocket Fun Facts!

Jessie and James are both 25 years old

Jessie and James are NOT siblings (you'd be surprised how many people think they are). They have almost polar opposite backstories from each other.

James grew up rich but ran away from home at a young age because of all the pressure as well as his arranged marriage with Jessebelle (who looks exactly like Jessie funnily enough)

Jessie's mother, referred to as Miyamoto, was also a Team Rocket operative who worked directly under Giovanni's mother Madame Boss. However Miyamoto went MIA while on a mission looking for Mew and never came back, leaving Jessie to grow up in foster care

Jessie and James in English are named after the outlaw Jesse James which most people seem to know about. Buuut in Japanese, they're called Musashi and Kojiro, named after the famous swordsmen Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro. Musashi kills Kojiro so do with that what you will. Sub fun fact: Musashi and Kojiro's duel is referenced in Sun and Moon with Jessie battling Ash and using the sun to temporarily blind him and Pikachu before striking.

The Team Rocket trio are based off of the Time Skeletons from Time Bokan, who are probably the earliest version of the very specific trope "san-aku" (literally translated to three evil). The trope usually depicts one female leader and two bumbling men, one short and one tall. They also regularly build mechs/robots and beef with kids. In Sun in Moon, they DIRECTLY reference the Time Skeletons!

When the Johto series came to an end a decision had to be made on whether Misty or Team Rocket would leave the series. Head writer Takeshi Shudo fought really hard to keep Team Rocket (I think it's safe to say that they were his favorite characters). Seeing how Team Rocket stayed in the series till the very end, I think it's obvious to see what the end result of that decision was

The reason Jessie, in later seasons of Pokémon doesn't smack around James and Meowth as much/at all is because her voice actress, Megumi Hayashibara personally requested that the writers make her less violent. She felt it went against the "good natured villain" concept Takeshi Shudo originally had for them. On Hayashibara, Jessie's "failed nurse" backstory is based on Hayashibara's experience in trying to become a nurse.

James' love for sports and racing is often depicted in the show and is a reference to his VA, Shinichiro Miki's, love for cars and racing.

The reason Team Rocket crossdresses is literally just because the artists thought James looked better in a dress than Jessie did and ran with it
