Grinding my Gears... Yet Again
Journal Entry: Fri May 9, 2008, 8:36 AM
Y'know what really grinds my gears?
Pokemon. Yeah, it used to be cool, but the series as-is is just plain lame. Granted, I still like some aspects of it, such as the surprisingly dark plot of "Colosseum", but here's the biggest flaws:
*There's no Team Rocket anymore, and we can thank the anime for turning the series metavillains into a lame-ass joke. Now, the developers pull newer, somewhat lamer villain groups out of thin air. Dammit, Team Rocket should be THE villains of villains!
*"Diamond" and "Pearl" is pretty much "Ruby" and "Sapphire" with newer graphics. Same plot, same self-righteous villains, just a new region and Pokemon. At least "Gold" and "Silver" didn't coast on the prior versions' success, and actually improved everything while staying true to the old-school style. R/S took some painful sacrifices, but was decent in improving the formula. D/P is just recycled gameplay.
*The anime never actually DOES anything. I mean, all the truly cool parts from the games, like the Silph Co. incident or anything from "Colosseum", gets ignored, and we see the exact same plot in every episode. Forget "blasting off again", I wanna see Ein, Miror B., and all the other Cipher madmen. And someone PLEASE get rid of Ash already? Surely there's other main characters to take his place.
*Speaking of Cipher, I actually like those Shadow Pokemon-wielding maniacs. They represent what Team Rocket should've been from the beginning: evil and heartless. Why can't we have more villains like them?
*Games I like: Red/Blue/Yellow (FireRed/LeafGreen), Gold/Silver/Crystal, Colosseum, XD. Basically, all the actual RPGs in the series. The Stadiums, Rangers, Mystery Dungeons, Pinballs, etc. are just plain dumb.
In the end, it's not that I dislike Pokemon. It's just that it's boring. Wanna know why?
NOTHING EVER CHANGES!
And THAT'S what Grinds my Gears!

Megas XLR is coming...Be ready for his return!!!!!
Aww man. D:
Well, I guess I coulda contributed to the fic as well. I created a trio of morphing clips from the show, which in total, should equal about more than 20 minutes of shapeshiftin' n' stuff, but it's not ALL the of sequences, just covers most of them. That part ye with Alex usin' three of her most prominent powers seemed pretty pwnsome to meh, so we could expand on that. XD
