Ahh, the magic of politics... brings a friendly discussion into a full blown arguement. Okay, I think we should all now submit and ending opinion on the discussion. An ending opinion is simply a paragragh or less about what you truely feel on the subject. Here is mine:
WalkingOn Different Roads:
In my opinion, I couldn't care less. All I ask is to leave me out of it, you could do whatever you wish to do but I don't walk down the same path you exactly do. I give anyone a chance to prove they are intelligent and can hold a decent discussion, but is someone begins to do something else I'll just tell them "Hey, I couldn't care less about the way you live, but I don't do what you do. Soplease respect my personal life and know that I don't do what you do.". There, that's it, though that person might possiblyhas to expect at least one comment from me (If I see someone cross-dressing they have to expect them to give them at least an odd look). Though that would be usually it, I just want to give in my 2 cents and then leave.
Not Made In Japan:
I don't know much about Japan culture so I'm not going to comment on it a lot. However I will so that Japan is much for free on what they expose to their people then we in the United States do. This is mainly becuase of Manga, which has comics for adults as well.
The American Way:
When they said Americans was a diverse group they weren't fully aware that this was an under statement. They were simply saying it reffering it to race andreligions, but what they forgot to look at was politics. And thus we have a strange way of "protecting" children.Parents want to protect kids from guns, drugs, and sex; Schools teach the dangers and safety of guns, drugs, and sex; they keep guns, drugs, and sex off children TV and say that kids shouldn't watch it; The News talks mainly about guns, drugs, and sex and advise kids to watch it; and all over people are using guns, on drugs, and having sex. Talking about a web of cunfusion.
But it wasn't always like this, if you watched old cartoons you can clearly see characters using guns (Some older Disney action and adventurecartoons had many of their characters (being hero nor villain) use guns. Even in some current days we have characters using guns (In Tarzen the main villain Clayton used a shotgun, and I see guns all the time in Marvel shows). But when a gun appears in a Japanesecartoon, or anime, then it automatically becomes a big deal. While I understand that its not suitable to havea gun being pointed as akid (though they'll could at least edit it to make it look like something a little "less" threatening like a knife), other times they take it out for no reason.Need more, go and ask the master of horribledubbing: 4Kids, they'll tell you all you need to know.
So in the end, we have a strange way of doing stuff. However I beleive that there is a clear thing which could be considered an American Way. So, quoteing a line from the newest Red VS. Blue video, the American way is driving big cars and blowing stuff up! YAY!
Now I am done, I will not comment on the current topic that relates to the thread:
Magmorter seems like a good Pokemon for Paul to get. I also think it's a good idea to just make him have it in storage instead of him training it, kind of not Paul'sway, Elekid is enough and I think his Murkrow is on the edge of evolving. Though seeing Elekid evolve all the way wouldn't hurt at all and make battles much more exciting (especially if it goes up against Pikachu who is going to try to prove itself after it lost to Gary's Electivire (It doesn't have to, but it's going to want to)). I just want Chimchar to evolve all the way and see Paul's expression when it takes down his Torterra. Also I hope Paul won't change, he's a way better character like he is now, someone who is almost emotionless and doesn't hesitate to release Pokemon he doesn't find worthy of training.
As for how Ash would hopefully get Riolu. My theory is that Ash would lose against Byron, go to Iron Island to train after hearing it was a good training ground, meet Riley there, help him out, and then he'll give Ash the Riolu Egg.
