Man what an awesome Gastly
All hail the Ghastly that gave us Venustoise.To this day I am slightly disappointed they never did anything more with that.
I too got disappointed they pretty much demoted Gastly (and worse, its evolutions too) to animal next time they showed up.I mean, how come just this one could shapeshift, talk, and was essentially invincible?
Tell me I'm not the only one that noticed that Venusaur and Blastoise did the 'fusion-dance' from Dragon Ball Z?!
The four best Ghost Pokemon are Misdreavus, Gastly, Frosslass and ShedinjaTogether they own a time share condo and have wacky misadventures.

>>5757Because it made no sense in the context of the series and was better to just move on and pretend it didn't happen.If a non-unique, non-legendary, FIRST STAGE Pokemon was this stupidly hax why wouldn't everyone use them?Anyway, I'm guessing this was just one of those "special cases" where a single Pokemon has powers for certain reasons that others of it's species don't, like that Ninetales that was so old it could create illusions.Also, it wasn't the only one to shapeshift/make illusions. The bunch of wild ghosts that Team Rocket ran into in Ecruteak City tricked them into eating a bunch of leaves they thought were food.
I love how they always made a big deal out of Meowth being able to talk, and even early on when we'd practically trip over other talking ones.
>>5786Well it was really only this one and Meowth that talked. All others that spoke, like Mewtwo, were using telepathy.
>>5787And Slowking, though to be fair, he IS a genius.
>>5789I forgot about him.Though now I remember that he complained a lot about not having pants.
>>5790 Well it was cold!
>>5790That reminds me of that old website I stumbled on from GEN1 that hypothesized the penis sizes for each individual pokemon...Including Nidorina and Nidoqueen for some reason...
The Black Fog from Electric Tale of Pikachu.A bus-sized Haunter followed by clouds of Gastlies, old enough to have been worshiped by ancient civilizations and powerful enough to have grown completely solid without evolving. It subsisted by using Dream Eater to consume human souls, killing them outright in the process. After breaking out of a Master Ball, it continued terrorizing the legion of trainers attempting to rescue Sabrina from its grasp before lethally self destructing to avoid capture.Honestly, imagine this this as a Gengar.Yeah, the G1 ghost line is proper nightmare fuel with just a little effort.
>>5848God that manga was awesome, why'd they have to end it in 4 volumes?
>>5851 well, they pretty much ran out of fuel for it since Ash defeated Drake of the Orange League and we didn't have anything more than "Pikablu" about gold and silver at that stage.
>>5888That, and the guy doing it kept forgetting he was supposed to be doing a kid's comic.
>>5936So...naughty stuff? :D
>>6041Yeah, you could probably say that. that's Misty
>>6045Maybe I've been desensitized, but that doesn't seem that bad. Hell, kids probably aren't even going to get that it COULD be considered obscene.
>>6048Well, it's always the parents that get bent out of shape about all this anyway.
>>6045 I keep trying to find the unedited version of this thing, but I have NEVER succeeded.
>>6087There's a download thread for all 4 volumes of the RAWs right here on /pkmn/....We really need a thread that contains downloads for ROMs/cracks, working emulators, and manga scans. Maybe make it a sticky.
>>6045The translated version cut out all the happy naughty fun times...
And some parts they just plain old cut out (Borderline worksafe...)
>>6096Who's the one with the nosebleed? Misty?!
>>6098No, she's the one giving the nosebleeds (I have no idea who the guy with the Evee on his head is...)
Yeah I don't see how any of this censorship was really merited.
>>6099 Mikey, of the Eevee Brothers.
>>6103He's the guy with the Eevee that incomprehensibly beat a Jolteon using Light Screen and mimic...
Gotta say, those edits are actually pretty well done.
>>6101>>6048... Are you kidding?
>>6433I've seen way worse just walking on the beach these days.
>>6045Oh shit! I TOTALLY bought the english version when I was a kid and was like, obsessed with that page. They edited it to just be a wetsuit, not some crazy one piece business....I think I like the wetsuit more.
Remember the weird occult Pokemon episodes with the gigantic demonic Gengar, Alakazam, and Jigglypuff?
>>7088It definitely makes more sense for her to be jumping into icy water in a wetsuit, and it better validates her throwing a Shellder at Ash for staring at her than that barely-there swimsuit.I don't have any real problems with the censorship.
>>7089I had completely forgotten about it until you mentioned it. Holy shit the nostalgia.What was that episode even called?
>>7089Well I remember it now.The anime really liked to make setups it could never explain.
>>7089Ah yes, Bigglypuff
>>7092And set up things it was never going to follow through on...Seriously, are we ever going to get closure with the whole Giovanni subplot from the first season?
>>7094Kids these days don't know who Giovanni is. Hell, they don't even know who MISTY is.
>>7092Don't forget the giant, enigmatic Dragonite that Bill, world-renowned pokemon expert, can't explain.
>>7098Or the fact that Mewtwo is carved into Bill's door, even though he doesn't exist yet.
I don't get why this exists.
Remember when Arcanine was legendary
Why was Ho-oh in the first episode? Was that ever relevant again?
>>7104BECAUSE IT'S AWESOME!!!Seriously though, it's a reference to the exoskeletal husks left behind by cicadas after they molt and become adults.
>>7109He does mention it to Eusine which makes him upset.
>>5745Hey, I just realized that this is proof positive of normal animals in the pokemon world.Granted, if they remade this episode in the current state of affairs, that mongoose would probably be a zangoose.
>>5844So which pokemon has the biggest cock?
>>7146Wailord.
>>5745 I'm surprised they didn't censor the cross. Well, I suppose it's not a (gasp) rice ball.
It's actually pretty awesome that a Gen 2 Pokemon was revealed in the first episode of Pokemon. Way to trick stupid kids to keep watching to find out about this new Pokemon who definitely isn't one of the 151...
I prefer the censorship, tbh. Whenever I see women in manga and anime wearing ridiculously short shorts and shirts, all I can think about is a horny old Japanese man masturbating furiously while drawing them....Yeah.
>>7209Then we probably shouldn't tell you anything about the man who specifically drew these then, huh?
I never support censorship, certainly not over something as silly as a tank top and a some short shorts. The hot springs was even sillier, considering they had THE EXACT SAME SCENE in the anime's Cinnabar arc.I actually recall them taking a scene with Ash and Gary's Sister and covering the whole page except their heads just because they were both in the same bed (it wasn't even suggestive as I recall, she was just reading to him or something).
>>7209But censorship denied us American kids of the excitement and confusion of trap James!
>>7212... She didn't grab her tits in the anime. And the partition between them did collapse, but it still wasn't as fanservicey.Honestly, I don't understand why people are against some censorship, especially things like this. If this was a teen's manga, I'd understand, but this was intended for kids, who don't really need to see this much tit and ass.
>>7219Because it's stupid to censor a little skin, but not have any issue with professional cock fighting and ancient soul eating horrors.
Is there a scanlation of the uncut Electric Tale?
>>7222Nope, just RAWs.
>>7220But it's stupider to draw girls half-naked in situations that don't at all call for it just so people can jerk off over them.

I...what? Is it a stab at fluid-heavy porn?
Phoebe: Secretly a weapons manufacturer for the underworld.First person to get the joke gets a high-five and/or a hug, depending on your preferences.
>>7469Mayo's a HUGE condiment in Japanese cuisine. Goes on most everything, and a lot of girls on diets lap it up for some bizarre reason.
...Sidney probably has a British accent.
>>7472Ahh. Thanks for that, mon buddy.Last one out of me. A joke I don't really get. Somebody else might.
>>7472 They even put mayo on pizza. Pizza!
>>7475It's pretty funny.
>>7471I'll take the hug
