Sir_Squab Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Thanks, TVTropes. It's nice to know some others understand how I feel about this: The Team Rocket trio in the Pokémon anime invents some of the most impressive Death Traps one could ever imagine, almost every episode... until they occasionally run out of money. They're also not above taking and maintaining legit work, until the inevitable screw up, and it's always manual labor anyway. Ironically, their "honest" work is almost always profitable.It's mentioned in one episode of the Johto series that they borrow their traps from Team Rocket, and that they were invented by the R&D at their HQ.And they always prove to be much better at whatever work they do for extra cash than they ever are at being bad guys. They'd probably have better lives if they just stopped chasing Pikachu.In fact, Jessie recently started entering Pokémon contests; not only is she pretty good at it, she has won a few, even progressing quite far in the Sinnoh Grand Festival.James also acts like pre-Flanderization Brock on occasion, showing potential to be a great Pokémon breeder.Meowth, being able to speak both English and Pokémon language, also could be filthy rich if he stopped being a criminal and just became a translator. + Ash shouldn't wash out his skill and intellect like a student in summer break when he goes to a new area. -shrugs- plenty of things wrong with pokemon. Why can't they learn more then 4 moves, particularly really smart pokemon? What would happen if they were given guns? Fought in actual wars? Targeted trainers? Massed produced master balls? Used pokeballs on other people's pokemon? How ethical is it to get pokemon to fight the way they do? Couldn't pokemon probably do every task humans either do or get robots to do more efficiently? How can society support all the prepubescent pokemon trainers? etc etc. Squab unleashes Megiddo! Completed all quests and hard diaries. 75+ Skiller. (At one point.) 2000+ total. 99 Magic.[spoiler=The rest of my sig. You know you wanna see it.]my difinition of noob is i dont like u, either u are better then me or u are worst them meBuying spins make you a bad person...don't do it. It's like buying nukes for North Korea.Well if it bothers you that the game is more fun now, then you can go cry in a corner. :shame:your article was the equivalent of a circumcized porcupineThe only thing wrong with it is the lack of a percentage for when you need to stroke it.

Also weird a Masterball was never tossed at a Legendary pokemon when one was spotted. Why can't they learn more then 4 moves, particularly really smart pokemon? Also, I think Pikachu in the anime used five moves. Quick attack, thunderbolt, electro ball, volt tackle, and iron tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K4ylan Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 When did it learn electro ball? And are you sure it didn't stop using a move when it learned electro ball? Btw, they referenced Pokémon only being able to learn four moves before in the anime (During one of the league championships, some chick had a Pokémon with 4 attacking moves and no support moves, and Brock said it was odd that all of its four moves were offensive) ~~~The Harpy List~~~Harpy Facts~~~It's Super Effective~~~The Beginning~~~Harpy Therapy Center~~~Alg~~~Jedi Harpy~~~Rohirrim~~~Attenuation~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a chance it stopped using quick attack and somehow learned electro ball off screen. Personally, I wonder what'd happen if Pikachu evolved into Raichu. Instant popularity drop because it'd freak people out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Squab Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I love how the show "How I Met Your Mother" references random websites that cannot in any conceivable way exist, and then actually turn out to be real*. *Or the far more likely scenario that they were made after the episode.

Kirschen Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Will be gone all day tomorrow to see my annoying relatives. The promise of free (and hopefully good) food, freedom from boredom, and seeing new people (or haven't seen in years for some) to chat with (or troll). It's sad I forgot the names of my cousins.
