BBW?

Not to be obnoxious about self-promoting, but given your comment, you should watch the most recent Pokemon video I made, about Masakazu Kubo. It gives the other side of the story.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Glad you enjoyed it!

@@DONHXC they were taken down. Maybe I’ll reupload them at a later date but not right now as we already have to wait out a strike

@ is there any way you could send me them

You have to let go of the "was he drunk" comment at some point. A writer can have two ideas at the same time: 1) Misty cannot love Ash, because making that part of her character would make her an ordinary girl that an all-male writing team would make boring and easily replaceable, and romance would distract from the themes he had planned, 2) At some point he wanted to write a love story in the Pokemon anime, so juxtaposing Brock and James against Ash and Misty drove the point home that he wanted to make. He doesn't say what that point is explicitly, but I'm sure he had one.

@FunyarinpaFoundation so you're saying that Shudo wanted Ash and Misty to be a couple, but just wasn't able to because of time constraints? I'm not trying to argue here I just want answers.

When the show was meant to be 80 episodes long, it's possible that they were intended to be the end game just based on how the anime, games and manga all handled Misty; it's pretty clear she was meant to be the "girlfriend" character, not just to Ash, but also to Red. But if the anime goes on forever, as it ended up doing, then obviously that would get old very quickly if it couldn't ever be realized. Shudo probably gathered that an unreciprocated crush for Misty would more or less kill her character outside of that, and an unresolve romance plot would kill the show for what he intended of it. When he was writing the Lugia movie, he was dwelling on the idea of "how do I make Misty interesting without romance, because romance will make her ordinary?" He decided on the existential crisis (for lack of a better way of putting it), and that didn't make it into the movie due to conflict with the producer.

@@FunyarinpaFoundation so he was initially intending Misty to be Ash's love interest, but he gave up on it? Or would it be like transceiver shipping in black/white 2?Was the producer Shukichi Kanda against the pairing if so, why? The 80th episode of the anime premiered after the first movie after all. Also, Red didn't even end up with Misty in the games or The manga so there's no way for sure that was their intention.

Think about it from the perspective of episode 1 and then from movie 2. Separately. From episode 1, the intention was for a year-and-a-half series of 80 episode. Whatever the 80th episode involved was the end. Mewtwo was always meant to happen before the end, so that Pikachu's rebellion would make sense in that context. Shudo's vision for the final scene was a send up of Stand By Me, so who knows what if anything would've been resolved with Misty. Who knows if he felt they needed anything. I think he was fine with writing things implying it, because who cares if it's over in 80 episodes? By movie 2, it was clear that Pokemon was not going away, so Misty needed something interesting to keep her from being replaced like Brock had been. One of the go-to's would've been romance because boy and girl in a cartoon leads that direction. Shudo was against it though - romance would spoil the plot and it would make Misty uninteresting because his male writing team wouldn't do it well. I know why you're asking about Kanda, but I don't know. He left far less of a paper trail than Shudo did.

Figures the dude with a tryhard pfp would say cop shit and try to make it sound smart.

Fucking gottem

Thanks for sharing!!

It worked for Mewtwo.

@FunyarinpaFoundation why did it work for Mewtwo but not Misty?

@@aaronfield7899 The scene that would've included her crisis breakdown was too violent, according to the producers.

@@FunyarinpaFoundation Well....no offense to Shudo, but I never got the vibe of her learning The meaning of existence

​@@FunyarinpaFoundation Are you sure that Shudo wasn't drunk when he wrote his blog?

I mean that video is like 10 years old. It just happened to be the most popular one on the subject, which you can't really account for.

That may be one of the reasons why the spring anime season is the way that it is, but hearing Kubo talk about it, it was more just a matter of if we wait too long we're going to miss the bus.

@@Dealortruth thanks truth awesome video btw

Yes. It's in Pokemon Story, a book I talked about a lot in the video I put out a few days ago about Pokemon's first executive producer. There's a chapter about the anime's pre-production, which discusses why they decided on Pikachu (everyone agrees it was Kunihiko Yuyama's idea; Yuyama says "because it was popular") and stuff about Team Rocket. My translator for these videos recently scanned it onto Internet Archive; check my twitter account (truthordeal) for a retweet of the file.

Yeah, in a way, the 3DS era, was the calm before the storm I totally imagine Kubo rolling on his future grave if this aint fixed quickly But Shudo is probably watching in heaven throughout all this 🗿

Yk as much as I despise Kubo's "treatment" of creators (as Shudo described) I gotta praise his skill for making Pokemon a global phenomena and it wouldn't have got in this world if not for him 😐

@@braingamingroblox8617 Well actually, after Shudo disappeared from Pokemon, and according to his animestyle columns on the franchise, he was treated fine by the staff and yes, even "Gozensama" So sleep well tonight

@@r.v.suncion8950 I mean, if we look at those videos detailing the modern state of Pokémon, we can see how some of Shudo’s ideas might be applied for now. It might be viewed as “not Pokémon” or “edgy” by a plethora of Pokefans (cough cough young fans cough cough) but hey, at least the fans will have something refreshing. And besides, Shudo made it clear that he wanted a story that keeps up with their growth. We’ve got long time fans of the franchise, so an adult oriented show wouldn’t hurt too much. Just keep the soul of the franchise. that's more important. But let’s agree to disagree: even if it was right that some parts of Shudo’s plans had to be told “no” cuz they “sucked”, we have to accept that Kubo’s sucked too lol

I can understand why they disagreed with his ideas, but I'd still watch anyway. I mean we’re talking about appealing it to the big audience (kids essentially), but.. let’s be realistic, The First Movie seems to be incredibly good for the fans, even among little kids, so it can't be that bad of a concept, as dark as Kubo might think. Aaaaand no, this doesn’t mean that a spin-off might not be particularly sensible, as it would risk undermining the widely celebrated image of the Pokémon mascot. I personally would appreciate seeing Pikachu in a different context, but I imagine that children might not share that sentiment. After all, the AniPoke's sole message is to let you know that Pokemon ain't tools of war, but your friends that will withstand a wailord's bodyslam that can kill a human in one shot if you believe in them enough (cap). I guess, as long-time fans, it's so much sunshine and rainbows for that reason, both for the anime, the games and some... I think there's no harm in making a change after 25 years. Maybe let the writers cook the new anime we have and finally accomplish something and give the spotlight to somebody new after Liko. Works for other works like Jojo, so it would work for this one too. Let’s be frank here, I think that the times we live in 2025 are the “”””””ideal”””””” environment for making a change in the things the games and Ash anime portrayed. There are hella bunch of bad people around us and we are exposed to many "darker" truths of the world via the media. So it'd probably not do much harm to include carefully addressed dark/mature/serious themes in a style Shudo wanted for the franchise (Not that they don't already exist, but they're usually hidden in random npc dialogue or are only subtly implied, but if you want to, np) TL:DR Just don’t let Gozensama cook for Legends: Z-A.💀

Thank you!

I was surprised to find it had a cult following in Europe, but I guess that's more and more normal with some of these niche Japanese shows.

If you’re having trouble hearing the video correctly… may I suggest reading the very clearly placed subtitles?
