Pokemon

You have his albums too? I think I've just made a friend

Me too! And One Good Reason is my absolute favourite song!!! What a surprize Even my sister likes it! He's so talented I can't begin to describe him. Even sadder I found a diary entry from when I was 13 saying that I'm going to America and going to a Pokemon convention to meet him. Yep, that'll happen

Funny enough me and some mates are having a Yugioh marathon this Friday as a joke It's gonna be great! It really was a good show too.

Here's that manga pic I was talking about: *ridiculously cute*

Eeehehehee

I also really like "Corner Booth Chronicals" and... I forget the name, lol... possibly "Home?" You know the one...

What do you mean you're watching Yugioh as a joke!? I've got the DVDs up til the Dungeon Dice saga. Duke Devlin's hot... but that has little if anything to do with Eric Stuart

Although I never would have started watching Yugioh if I hadn't thought I recognised Eric's voice as Pegasus... Turns out that was Darren Dunstan, lol. BUT Darren was basically using the same voice for Pegasus that he used for James in the first few episodes of Pokemon, so it's not my fault damn it! Eric was of course Seto Kaiba anyway, so it's all good.

Ted Lewis is another one to keep an eye on. Bakura in Yugioh (yum...), Tracey and Giovanni in Pokemon... (Not so yum, hehe.)

Dan Green of course IS Yugioh, and also Professerrrrrrrrr... I want to say Birch...? One of them anyway... And Entei... Is it wrong to be in love with an imaginary pokemon... ? It's the voice...

[Lauz]

Yep I know the one! Well... I think so. My memory has been failing me today, and I'm blaming school

Haha well I just say we're watching it as a joke so it doesn't sound too lame when in fact we're watching pretty much every episode! Duke Devlin, so that's his name! No-one today could remember his name

Eric did a great job as Kaiba, and ironically he was probably my favourite character. I recognized Bakura as Ted, he just has that unique voice which is oh so delicious

I always laughed at hearing Professor Birch's name. I dunno, just sounds funny. Birch... hehe! Don't worry, you can be in love with a Pokemon. I always liked Blastoise best. And then I went to a market one day and saw a deck of cards with Blastoise and James on the front... which makes no sense because he doesn't have a Blastoise. Just lucky!

[emmasi]

I was always disappointed that James didn't take Growlie with him, or at least go back for him... He basically left his faithful friend to the mercy of his cruel parents who kept Growlie locked up in his dog house . Sure the dog house was a mansion, but still...

That was such an interesting episode. And... rather adult. Jessiebelle's "exercise room" in the basement?? Is that what the kids are calling it these days ?

[Lauz]

Haha I agree. Actually from memory the first time I saw that episode I cried I saw the 'exercise room' and got a glimpse of blades other dangerous looking things that didn't look right at all... Looked like she wanted to kill the poor boy! I did find it a bit weird for a Pokemon episode, with his parents faking their deaths. All the little kids just wanted to see Pikachu shock the hell outta things.

Growlie was ridiculously cute, and if I were him I would've taken him. And in the games I always named my Growlithe 'Growlie'

I still haven't seen one of the Pokemon movies, and I think it was based on Team Rocket. It was Mewtwo's Revenge or something. I loved Pokemon 4Ever, that was good. And the others were great too. I think the last one I watched was the one based in Venice with all the water racing.

[emmasi]

I don't really remember the movies apart from 1 & 3, which I love. Pokemon 1 was in my top three movies for sooo long... but then it got bumped for Secret Window...

I love Mewtwo. He's just... awesome. His voice isn't as sexy as Entei's though

I've had more Growlithes that I know what to do with. I went through a stage of naming them all after charaters from the Pretender... which, now that I think about it, may explain why my level 100 Arcanine in Gold is named Jarod . I also had a female on 100 called Tara - she was shiny . Then I had a couple named Goku and Gohan... don't remember what level they were on when I was forced to abandon them all forever... sigh.

[Lauz]

1 was awesome, probably just because it was the first one. But really they were all good! Haha we bought Secret Window last week, such an awesome movie.

Well in Pokemon Silver I caught all of Team Rocket's Pokemon... but most of them were ****. Then my dog ate my Pokemon Silver cartridge

Then I started naming them after characters from shows, but that's normal

I only had one shiny, that red Gyrados that everyone gets!

I've seen some shiny's though, but I suck at catching them

[emmasi]

Ooh wow! I've never seen a shiny in the wild. Apart from that Gyrados, obviously

My friend taught me a cheat for breeding shiny pokemon. You transfer the red Gyrados into one of the Red, Blue or Yellow games (which predate colour graphics), find a wild ditto, wait for it to transform into a shiny Gyrados, then capture it and transfer it back into Gold or Silver. The ditto will then be shiny . You may have to capture a few of them to get one that likes your pokemon enough to breed though, lol.

As such, I have quite a few shiny pokemon in Gold.

Tara - Arcanine

Giles - Ninetales

Connor - Houndoom

ShimmerI - Ditto

ShimmerII - Ditto

ShimmerIII - Ditto

ShimmerIV - Ditto

Gyrados - Gyrados

Gyrados - Gyrados

Okay, so not many, but you may have to go through quite a few eggs to hatch a shiny pokemon!

Which, incidentally, is why I had so many Growlithes. Ahem.

I always wanted a shiny Charizard, but I never got one...

I actually think I remember having a Rapidash with green fire, but I can't for the life of me think what it was... hm.

What characters' voice-actors were changed?

I love Pokemon! I only have Silver though, on Gameboy I don't know if Pokemon airs in NZ anymore

My fave is definitely Psyduck! He's the coolest

[emmasi]

lol, I love in the first movie when Psyduck is fighting his clone...

*Slap* "Psy ?"

*Slap* "Duck ?"

Hehehe..

I'm afraid ALL the voices have changed. 4Kids Entertainment lost the English voice-over rights to some other stupid company who thinks that the key to children's animation is to have all the characters speaking like developmentally challenged two year olds . They make a small attempt to sound vaguely like the original voice actors, but they miss the point of the characters' personalities completely. Jessie and James could be worse... but Ash is just... *shudder.* Sounds like he's just as likely to punch you in the face as he is to sic Pikachu onto you... Not a friendly sounding chappie at all.
