    Yeah, even if Pikachu were able to use its electric moves, it still would have lost against Shooti and his Tsutarja, since Electric moves don't do much against Grass-types anyway, plus as I just said, it was the start of a new region, so the writers obviously decided to reset Pikachu to Level 5 just like they do at the start of every region.

    Seriously? Is someone honestly complaining about this again? Pikachu has to lose every once in a while, they can't have it beating everyone get over it.

    So for the Gym battle Pokabu defeats Boappu, Pikachu loses to Hiyappu (really?), and then the episode ends with Yanappu firing Solarbeam at Mijumaru.

    Does Pikachu have its Electric attacks back or is it still drained by Zekrom?

    He got his electric attacks back in BW002. Apparently I missed a part of the episode. Hiyappu uses Double Team multiple times and uses some Ground attack making it a little better.

    Seriously? Is someone complaining about other people complaining? Yes. Pikachu has to lose but to a STARTER? What the hell.





    The gym battle was retarded (nice graphics nonetheless). Ash forgot how to battle. Fire against fire? Eletric vs grass? Grass vs Water? WTF is he thinking? Mijurmau was cute though. And Iris looks like she has a crush on him

    Yeah I am complaining because I'm fed up with people still complaining about Pikachu after 14 freaking years. Get over it. Again, THEY CAN'T HAVE PIKACHU WIN EVERY BATTLE SO DEAL WITH IT.

    Pikachu was never sent up against Yanappu. It had the advantage against Hiyappu.

    It's not the fact Pikachu lost. Its the fact he lost to a pathetic starter.



    Now, take your own advise and deal with the fact people complain because not everyone will be happy.



    Ash should'ved used the flying pokemon against Yanappu. Guess he only uses his flying pogeys to pop Team Rocket's balloon.

    Wow, it's like in Janime... only in Janime people who complain about complainers about complaining (endless cycle of complaining later) kinda have the right since the bad stuff started just a short while ago, it's been 14 years of pokemon dude, it was made bloody obvious that Pikachu was feeling bad and tired each time it Tried to use an electric attack against that starter and do i need to remind you the much worse almost lost against Treecko? or y'know any other of the dozens battles where Pikachu has lost horribly despite all its supposed powers over all these years?


    Anyway, i'm more interested on how fast this arc advances than the actual arc for now, the moment Denchura shows up i'll watch it for sure though.

    I'll end this arguement:


    Pikachu is equal in power with a Magikarp (which previously beat Piplup). There, this argument is over.

    You're overanalyzing it by looking at the fact it was tired and comparing it with Treeko. Whatever else Pikachu battled had SOME experience (like Treeko). This thing had particularly NO EXPERIENCE and it lost. Laugh riot, right?



    Who wants Gible to come back

    Who said Tsutarja had no experience? In the anime all starters were wild Pokemon that were captured by the professors to be given to new trainers


    some weren't training


    and Gible isn't coming back...GET OVER IT


    now this discussion is over...

    Actually Starters given by professors are raised on a secret daycare for the very purpose for them to be given away as starters. Ash & co. once stumbled upon one for Mudkip where Brock got his Mudkip.

    Like Pikachu mentioned, we saw how they were raised and given so it practically had no experience. When compared to Pikachu, that thing had little to no experience.




    What makes you think Gible isn't coming back. It didn't have any good spotlight in the Sinnoh region. If they decide to the Battle Factory thingy and even in the Isshu league, he can bring it back.

    Are you sure it didn't have ANY spotlight in Sinnoh? Maybe it didnt have the BEST spotlight but it had some. I suggest you watch DP185, NOW!


    The Battle Factory? Were in Isshu, not Hoenn/Sinnoh. There wont be a Battle Factory, hell, there isn't even a Battle Tower in Gen V, only a Battle Subway. I swear, people see Ash use reserves in the Sinnoh League and now they think in every suceeding League that reserves will be used. >__>


    It's this kind of thinking that really makes me on reconsidering staying in any Forum. I left here because not much happens here, but the serebiiforums are pissing me off because some of them have such a dumb way of seeing things and taking things and making a bigger deal then they really are.X( I know people are entitled to opinions but some things are so stupid.


    Just for giggles and laughs, here are some of the dumbest things I heard there:


    SPPF User #1- I dont like the series because Iron Tail looks stupid.


    My Response- You are disappointed at the fact that Iron Tail looks more like an iron tail?


    SPPF User #2- Made a Thread about How the Isshu League will play Out.


    My Response- How the hell are we supposed to know? it's too early to speculate on that subject, Ash isn't even 1/8 of the way there, probably like in 2-3 years til' we reach the Isshu League anways.


    SPPF User #3- OMGZZZZZZZZZ Pikachu got beat by a water type?


    My Response- I suggest you shut up. Who are you, a newcomer to the series?


    SPPF User #4- When will Iris have her first battle?


    My Response- Somebody needs to check the games out, she is a gym leader in one of the versions and even if she isn't one in the Anime, I am sure she won't be a noobz.


    People really need to stop having that mindset, oh just because it happened in the previous series, it will happen in the next one.

    Some people just want a scapegoat to lash out at. I think Best Wishes is off to a rather good start so far.

    If you all knew Pikachu would get nerfed at the start of the season then why so shocked? lol Yeah Tsutarja and the water monkey were a bit much but who cares because sooner or later Pikachu'll just pick up the pace. Also, Mijumaru's face at the end of the episode was priceless XD
