So you are a girl, then? I see. Unfortunately, your presence was deemed unnecessary for the new generation. Still, many took a shining to you, didn't they? And you're quite persistent... Oh, alright. But your presence won't come without a cost. Lucky that you're such a strong, independent young lady, hm? And nothing more.

Your team consists of: ESPEON, DRAGONITE, SLOWBRO, MAROWAK, CLEFAIRY, and LONELINESS. Though your BANETTE is never far, either.

That boy never learns.

His team consists of: JOLTEON, ALAKAZAM, ARCANINE, PIDGEOT, GYARADOS, and raticate EXEGGUTOR.

What? I don't understand. Who?

Oh... I deeply apologize. It appears this data is invalid. Pokemon Red? Oh, no no no. We ought to let the past stay buried, don't you think? Things have only gotten bigger and better!

THIS world is kinder to them. THIS world is far more stable. THIS world is so much better. THIS world is where they're supposed to be.

THAT world... And you, unfortunately... Are all far beyond salvaging. There's no place for you.

Please accept this fact. We can't afford you breaking anything.

Your team consists of: Five BAD EGGs, and .

RED's story is based on: Glitchy Red. Ketsuban.

---------------------

> RAN "YELLOW" TOKIHARA

So, You're- Oh, I beg your pardon, I seem to have mixed you up with someone else- The hat and the pikachu may be strikingly familiar, but you're hardly a champion, don't you agree?

Please, carry on- I have more important things to be concerned with than a simple fisherman like you.

Your team consists of: EXEGGCUTE, NIDORAN, WINGULL, OMANYTE, MAGIKARP, and PIKACHU.

Yellow's story is inspired by a series of glitches in Pokemon Yellow.

[theowlhousefanboy]

Notable And Underrated Anime That Have Excellent English Dubs, In My Opinion - A List (With Some Extra Banter or Whatever)

The works of Shinichirō Watanabe, ranging from Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Space Dandy, and Carole & Tuesday (so much so that they're better off disqualified from lists likes this, due to being way too obvious choices... moving on)

FLCL (heck, would even say the same to the otherwise derivative Progressive and Alternative)

The Read or Die OVA, alongside its sequel series R.O.D the TV (so good, that even the likes of Yomiko "The Paper" Readman changing accents actually doesn't feel as jarring as I thought it would be)

Azumanga Daioh (on a side note, Ayumu "Osaka" Kasuga sounds a bit like Steven Universe's Amethyst and The Owl House's Vee Noceda; can't really say why)

Lucky Star (so, which part of the Choco cornets should we eat first?)

Nichijou ('nuff said)

K-On!/K-On!! (might sound a bit jarring if one also watched Puella Magi Madoka Magica on the English dub (a bit good, but nothing compared to the Rebellion movie and maybe the compilation films; case in point, Mio Akiyama, Ritsu Tainaka, Tsumugi Kotobuki, and Azusa Nakano are Homura Akemi, Kyubey, -bloody- Hitomi Shizuki, and Madoka Kaname respectively)

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagaan (kinda sucks that the two compilation movies don't have dubs; would have loved seeing the extra hamminess of the characters' English voices in those)

Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water - ADV (even if the occasional accents are inaccurate, the emotional delivery of the VAs is hard to deny, especially the vile Gargoyle's)

Kill la Kill (if one has witnessed it, then you know that they sure had a lot of fun playing the characters in this extremely fun gainaxy romp)

Toradora! (...basically the closest we get to seeing Madoka verbally beat down Kyubey in romance and stuff)

Ghost in the Shell, both the movie duology (1 and 2: Innocence) and Stand Alone Complex, including the Tachikomatic Days extras and the Solid State Society movie (so much so that the latter's DVDs are mostly set with the English dub on default, reportedly even in Japan)

REDLINE (can't speak enough for it so to describe its epicness)

Dead Leaves (you can actually watch it on YouTube... it might overwhelm you)

Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt (telling that it's way more raunchy than even the original Japanese)

Golden Boy (you know, at least the show didn't continue on, lest it might have gotten way too weirder like the manga it's adapted from)

Black Lagoon (so good, that it resulted with the Roberta's Blood Trail OVAs having the cast reprise their roles due to fan demand)

Excel Saga and Puni Puni Poemy (so madcap, the former's titular character's VA broke her voice halfway through the show)

Honorable mentions:

Neon Genesis Evangelion - particularly the ADV dub, with Manga Entertainment's efforts on The End of Evangelion and the Director's Cut versions of Episodes 21-24 (it might be correctly deemed as flawed, but nowadays, it sure has proven its worth, albeit at the cost of the Netflix dub being derided as lacking in emotion and perhaps also nuance)

The Manga Entertainment dubs for the Patlabor movie duology (a shame the OVA series preceding it doesn't share the same cast, while the Patlabor TV series dub... eludes me)

GaoGaiGar (flaw: it's unfinished, and thus never even reached the FINAL parts)

In the meantime, hopeful readers, feel free to put on personal recommendations, in case there'll be a second part, if not a commenter's edition.

[themissingnumbers]

Hey, guys! I just had a quick question that I hope isn’t bad. I always get scared when asking questions like this because I feel that by asking, it will come across as me having a problem with it—which I don’t, I swear. I’m just curious, and I don’t want to get anything wrong about the characters. (It’s taken me four rewrites and a week of anxiety to finally get the courage to ask this question.)

Is Blue trans?

I’m curious because in that one older piece of art, Blue was referred to as a “shithead tboy twink,” and when looking at his reference art, it kinda looks like he has some top surgery scars. (At least, I think that’s what it is? I’m not the most well-versed when it comes to topics like this.)

I’m so sorry for asking this. I just didn’t want to make any assumptions about it because it felt wrong to do so. Feel free to ignore this if it’s offensive. Have a good day.

[ahh, don't worry, you're all fine!! never be afraid as ask little questions about the faces of missing numbers and stuff about their identity :]

yes, blue is a trans man! this has very much been then case since day one. (in fact, the in-universe explanation for why prof oak couldn't remember his name is because he figured it out young and gramps didn't want to deadname him but forgot what he'd chosen.)

missing numbers- though it's got a primary focus on horror and worldbuilding- is also a very queer story with a lot of queer people. the topic is something pretty casual to us, but gender identity and sexuality are things that have bearings on how people in mn have experienced their lives and relationships.

heres some transgender blue art for u ♡ thank you for asking!]

BONUS: the brothers watanabe are BOTH transmasc as well!

Mike fully transitioned once the two moved into palette, whereas the younger Steven took a bit longer to figure himself out. Mike's starter was given Steven's deadname so if someone tried to misname him they could act confused about "why are you talking about squirtle?? 🤨🤨🤨"

He might've been awfully corny, and not always the smartest, but he was a pretty great big brother.
