    Quick comment on Lucario: mega evolution is canonically a forced evolution and often drives the pokemon into madness either through constant pain, power surges affecting the brain or just straight up madness through power.

    Oh boy. The Mew movie with Ash turning to stone and the pokemon crying will still make me cry today as a adult... The movie overall gives me a strange vibe as the backstory is so mature compared to what pokemons target audience it should be. Probably the reason why it already left a stark impression on me even as a child. I feel like a lot of children anime movies around the year 2000 are strangely mature

    I really appreciate pokemon for the darker stories honestly, I think it helps children understand the world a bit better than a story with all fluff cause children understand this stuff a lot earlier than adults realize, I think something safe like pokemon with slightly darker stories is a great stepping stone, stuff like goosebumps and are you afraid of the dark really helped a lot of my early fears and getting over them.

    I can’t speak to if this is true, but Brock’s English voice actor (Eric Stuart) said that the reason they changed “riceball” to “jelly donut” is because the Japanese studio specifically requested that the English dub, as well as the dubs of other languages, change it to whatever is more culturally relevant. To make Pokémon as widespread as possible and so that kids could relate no matter where they’re from.
    I’m not here to defend every choice 4kids made, god knows they’ve had some questionable decisions made, but that at least I must speak up for.

      4Kids was notorious to cutting and censoring shows. Even, if Japanese surely gave them some freedom (otherwise they would just take the series from them) more of it spanned from the fact that they didn't care as much about global release as they do nowadays. What's more likely is that producers lied to the voice actors. Like there is difference between "oh yeah you can change some things to make it more accessible" and "erase any cultural factor of the show and replace it with nonsensical bs". 4Kids are fully to blame for it.

    Props to bringing up the XY arc, barely anyone does that when it comes to this topic. Though for context on Y's head getting crushed by a Pinsir, that was actually Essentia who took Y's form as she has ditto-like transformation powers. She impersonated Y and tried to trick X, but X wasn't fooled and ordered his Pinsir to attack Essentia, and of course she survives because of her suit. Funnily enough the one thing that made X realize that he wasn't talking to Y was the fact that the fake Y called him "dear".

    Someone who actually gives the Manga a decent job covering the Manga rather than just pointing at the same three example (Arbok cut in half, crucified gym leaders, and Zinnia being stabbed) to show it’s dark? IMPOSSIBLE! In all seriousness though glad that section was decent sized and details as I feel so many just overlock it or, as stated above, always use the same example. The first few arcs are still definitely some of my favorites since it’s the only time (as far as I’m aware) that major character like Gym Leaders are members of team rocket and the Elite Four is a genuine threat. I always knew Agatha was secretly evil!

But the manga fleshed them out more and gave sabrina the screen (page?) time she deserved. also hell yes, agatha was 👌 and oak's battle outfit never gets old.

    Also at 7:10, the anti-Japan movement in South Korea (as you probably know) was due to Japan’s war crimes against South Korea during WWII that have continuously been denied by officials and either dismissed or glorified. I just wanted to say the context is definitely important, that’s all!

      To add to that - for people who don't know history - Japanese were actually more cruel and as bloody as Germans during Second War (especially against Chinese and Koreans). What Japanese did was way more inhumane and disturbing, as they acted more akin to savages. Which is telling you something, because the crimes Germans committed were already pure evil.

    Pokemon has a lot of one-off manga that are untranslated and range from wholesome fun to "what." My theory is that these have little oversight from executives. I actually bought the entirety of ReBurst with plans to work on a full fan translation of all 8 volumes since it's super intriguing to me, but there's little in regards to translated chapters available online. Diamond and Pearl Adventure(The one by Shigekatsu Ihara) is one that is officially available in English and imo, super underrated. Mitsumi and Hareta are some of my favorite Pokemon protagonists. Sadly, there's not a lot of documentation for many of these manga, which is a shame since they at least deserve preservation.

The main series games have a lot of dark stuff, mainly the earlier games obviously but sun and moon has some spooky mimikyu plot which is cool, I think the Pokédex entries have always been overly dark… even in the newest games!

    The on the end of the Pokemon heroes movie: The Bianca that kisses ash isn't said to be FOR SURE latias. It's hinted that it could be OR it could be the actual girl Bianca, who is the person Latias takes the form of. As for the latias and latios at the end of the movie, those are not confirmed to be Latias' kids. In fact it's more hinted to likely be the spirits of Latios brother and possibly the father who sacrificed himself as said in the movie OR it is an entirely new group of latios and latias showing that the latias sister wont be lonely after all. I'm unsure where this information of them being her kids was gotten from??? I for one have never heard that interpretation before this video...

    • @plushiepath
      @plushiepath  2 роки тому

      true! it could have been bianca but since she didn’t speak i assumed it was latias. the kid theory has been around for a little while and i always assumed they implied that there’s a new gen guarding the city and since we didn’t see any other family it made sense to me that she had the kids. and maybe ash’s kiss inspired their formation

    One thing I don’t see many people talking about when it comes to this kinda stuff is the mental states of some of the characters. Ex: Cyrus. He wants to go to a new world as he doesn’t understand/like human emotions, and Team Galactic is created. Cyrus is so determined to accomplish his goal that he bombs the lakes to get the legends. In the DP anime he goes into the dimension portal via his own choice without telling the admins. (I’ll assume it’s the distortion world until proven otherwise) The admins lose communication with him, and honestly most likely think that he d1ed (if he didn’t get ravaged by Giratina the little to no plants and resources in the DW would’ve meant that he would’ve d1ed anyway) The admins must think that this conclusion is what Cyrus wanted to do the whole time, and would most likely mourn knowing their characters. To the Galactic Admins and those on the outside of the portal, it seemed that Cyrus’s goal was to k1ll himself. And honestly, that would make sense, at least in my mind. I.E: Cyrus doesn’t understand human emotions, to the point of being incredibly upset over it (his mini breakdown in Platinum), and wanted to go to a new world without emotions and spirit. Everyone outside the portal most likely thinks that this ‘new world’ was the afterlife or something. I’m no expert on character so I’ll let you decide.

    • @plushiepath
      @plushiepath  2 роки тому +1

      I agree. I like how the Manga shows us more of Cyrus and his mental state. Especially since the games also hint at his parents being extremely mean to the point that his granddad blames himself for not saving him. He probably lacks emotions because he was thought to subdue them or saw them as useless because he was helpless against his parents (Small spoiler, late in the anime after teaming up with Dia, Shaymin helps him because he learns to express gratitude!)

    one thing i hate about the pokemon anime is how it creates assumptions about how the rest of the franchise's world works, even when the games and even later in the anime, it is directly contridicted.
    CASE IN POINT: Charmander's tail. The anime initially claims that it dies if its tail flame goes out. However, modern dex entries for the evolution line states the EXACT OPPOSITE. Its flame CAN'T go out until it dies. The tail is a measure of its life force, not the source. in some places its even stated that that flame won't ever go out, even when completely underwater

    I only know of it as I have 2 volumes (1 & 3) in spanish, but it certainly fits into the category of weird media they did early on as the manga is technically pokemon because we do see them... but they aren't at all the central focus like you'd expect
    The manga is a shojo slice of life revolving around this girl named Hazel that ends up tasked with catching pokemon as a requirement for her grandpa to make her a love potion for the guy she likes
