Title: Pokemon, huh?
Post by: BurkeWorld on October 26, 2005, 12:02:06 pm
All I can say about this picture is... WTF mate?

It's from the TV show all right, but I think it was cut from the air, this pic has been passed around other forums I've been too.

*Weirded out.*

Umm... *Coughs*  :O
There are some things that are best left unknown...
If I was a guessing person, I'd say it makes him feel pretty.  :huh:

Scerviche told me that Jesse and James were making fun of Misty's flat chestedness.. I dunno, I just find the .gif hilarious.

That's true.  This was of course cut from the English version.

I heard about some episodes weren't showed at all, owing to censoring. I'm not remembering well now, but I've heard about an episode showing James in bikinis that was discarded to western audience. That's very bad, since I lost the chance to know some Pokémons.

yep, but they eventually broadcast this episode, but with any scenes with James/Kojirou's bikini cut out. this one was released at some point, but there was one episode that was never released called "Electric Soldier Porygon". that episode featured an intense light effect, with a flash that switched between red and blue every fraction of a second. from what i heard, around 600 Japanese kids watching that episode were rushed to hospitals as they were having seizures, were constantly throwing up, and had irritated eyes. Shogakukan -- who originally produced the Pokemon anime -- didn't want to take any chances with those outside of Japan, so they had 4Kids cut that episode out completely during the translation.

Unsurprising. Remember that many of these shows have scenes like these all the time.

But do you remember a certain Seymour character? Or heck, even a gray rabbit which usually crossdresses to get away from hunters?

Yeah, thought so.

Oh yeah, Pokémon sure was kickass back in the day. Too bad it's gotten so dull lately. But for some reason I keep on watching it.  :P

James definitely has the figure to wear a bikini. He's the hottest woman I ever saw! :D

Yeah, I've seen something like that before. Never thought it was actually in the show itself though.

Hmmm! Altough James's 15 years old, he's boy!  :P

15?! I thought he'd be much older than that! 8O

Anime and their overdeveloped characters... ::)

Wait a sec. I thought Jesse and James were well over 20 years old.

Hmm... Anyone know who owns this site?
http://www.edoropolis.org/SPCVR/pkmnnf/pkmntr.html

Being an off and on Team Rocket/Meowth fan for quite a while, I'd always thought J & J to be 18 or 19-ish. James is old enough to get married, as one of episodes (http://www.serebii.net/anime/epiguide/indigo/048.shtml) was based on such.
They're certainly not children, but they're generally too childish to be much older than 20.

Who knows.. They do seem older than 16-18 or whatever, but true about the childish part.

Sorry, my memory failed again!
Jesse and James were 17 years old in the first season. The one's 15 years old is Brock. I haven't watched Pokémon and my memory is vanishing since then. I knew the name of the all 150 Pokémons of the first season; now, I can name only a dozen of them.  :P
Besides, I've heard about the manga, where Misty is older (14 years) and her relationship with Ash resembles more of a big sister.

i also remember reading about another early Pokemon ep that was cut because the game warden was trigger-happy. it was the one that was called something like, "Legend of Dratini". if any of you have seen "Ditto's Mysterious Mansion" (i don't know it's Japanese title :S ), you might recall that Team Rocket planned on sending their boss, Giovanni (or Sakaki), a Ditto posing as a Dratini. if "Legend of Dratini" was aired here too, then that plot would have made much more sense.

15 years old? The guy's a frickin' GRADE-A PERV! Not to mention Misty... who, in the manga, looks like ... well, I won't say it. Not sure if it'll bend the rules, but there's a movie with Jeremy Irons with the same name. :P

That episode wasn’t aired because it contained a part  where a dude makes Jessie and James dance using a gun, is not a big deal, is like Sam from one of those old Bugs bunny movie..

Is not like the show still has sexual references or the use of real life guns, its doesn’t even have silly jokes anymore...nowadays is more like a japanese Barney.

yeah, with the same main storyline (Team Rocket after Pikachu all the time, and always trying to catch him), and [personally] the fact that computers are used for animation. frankly, i think pen-and-ink beats computer-assisted animation by a long shot.

Depends on how they use the computer Am2K ;-) But yeah, I prefer the pen and inked look because it's fuzzy without the "filter" look.

Foster home for imaginary friends(Or whatever is called) is a good show done using computer animation.

But I have to admit, I really hate when they shamelessly put in some 3D in a anime or cartoon and then switch back to 2D, I hate it. 3D and 2D don’t mix well unless a great effort is made(Like in some movies).

Titan AE was a good mix of 3D and 2D...

Unfortunately, one of the Zoids cartoons looks AWFUL because of the 3D used in the robots. ;_;
