THEY MADE MY FANTASY DRAGON A MALE????!!! AHHHHH I AM GOING INSANE! *drinks self to death*
>>56722231I hope someday they respect his wishes and just make Lugia a female.
>>56722231Rip change Lugia to female

>>56722362The proper show had one, Dr. Kimba of Team Rocket tried to steal it.
>>56722231Was there ever a bigger autist who worked on the Pokemon franchise than Shudo?
>>56722522Masuda.
>>56722510>gender unknown
>>56722546dumb apu poster!
Never quite understood the fascination for this Shudo guy, like it's always talked about how the dude was a self-destructived and depressive, tortured soul having to work a kids show...but when you look at the episodes he made for the anime they are all just your average Pokemon episode and only very occasionally surreal stuff (the giant Dragonite episode, the giant Pokemon island episode, the Ghost of Maiden's Peak episode) he also wrote a novelization of the show which depicts the world as far more bleak with stuff like Pallet Town being a shithole shanty town, where the Oak family rose to power for being the lesser losers of town, and Ash's mom posing on porno magazines in her youth, etc., but that's literally fanfictionDude is not even Miyazaki levels of whimsical work coming from an overly-bitter man, don't get why people care so much
>>56722632Is there any place to read that novel in English.
>>56722534Na->Masuda's blogMaybe you're right.
>>56722632The guy is imaginative in all the right places, with his first movie been the one with giving Mewtwo more personality then just "hermit in a cave".He even thought of ideas that deconstructs the foundation of the Pokemon idea, alas we we late to understand his creativity and he died depressed and lonely from the cutthroat society of japan.
>>56722520His name is Dr. Jamba. How many times do I have to tell you this, Buffy?
>>56722654here's the link.https://pokemonthenovel.dreamwidth.org/380.html
>>56722362She always was.>B-but the voice is ma-It's telepathy, hearing a male voice on a voluptuous body like that just means you're a faggot
>>56722632Let's be honest, without Shudo the franchise wouldn't have lasted this long. The reason for Genwunning isn't the games being good, it was the anime being an amazing adaption of primitive source material that was enjoyable globally. Meanwhile the games would begin to get better at the expense of becoming much more split with the fanbase the anime would only get worse without him and continue to decline a slow, arduous, painful death of irrelevancy to the point the games were promoting the anime instead of vice versaBy the point of Journeys the anime was more of a detriment than it was an asset when that was objectively the inverse in the early 2000s
>>56722757>It's now canon that Ash is a raging faggot.I knew it all along.
>>56722722Yeah, and the prologue (unfortunately cut from the original theatrical release in the west) only adds even more depth to Mewtwo: him being the sole survivor of the cloning experiment makes his frustration with the meaning of life being dictated by his creators (even if the way he reaches to the conclusion about him being the owner of his own fate regardless of origin is a little corny, no matter how much of a gut punch it is to have Ash die in the cross-fire when he's revived by the *magical tears of the Pokemon*)It's a good movie, has a profound-enough message for the audience, don't know if the same can be said about the other two (never actually sit through and watched them fully in my whole life)
>>56722777Trips of truth
>>567228402nd movie is just dumb "Ash saves the world" plot. 3rd movie I remember having some deeper themes of dealing with loss.
>>56722861>3rd movie I remember having some deeper themes of dealing with loss.It did but Shudo's script got taking over by corporate executives and got rewritten to high hell, that got him to quit Pokemon and retire.
>>56722777Sad but very true
>>56722231He was right. He's the only guy who ever really understood Pokemon.
why didnt he just cope and rationalize it as lugia having a really deep voice, since it isnt human
Lugia sexo
>>56722231>pokemon that creates storms powerful enough to destroy entire towns when it flaps it's wings is maternal
>>56722914Weird that it implies corporate meddling made it actually have core emotional content when that was really lacking in the other two movies, the first one's original theatrical release especially given it lacked the prequel scenes.
>>56722969Anon... Imagine losing your ideas by careless business people, who just want to make money to the point that the popularity of the show started to fail, that they soft-rebooted it with multiple showrunners, trying to recreate the magic of the series...
>>56723016The corporate executives added Molly's Mother coming back at the end of the movie when he wanted her dead the entire time and the movie to be about her learning to cope and move on. This was AFTER they denied his initial pitch of the whole reviving a T-Rex plot to force in Entei to shill the legendary and the fact he couldn't use Ho-Oh since he promised himself the anime should end with a Ho-Oh encounterGenerally I don't blame him, he wanted to try and do something unique and the fledgling TPC wanted to shill the games to kids
Why are the people who insist that all members of an entire species must be female always so mentally ill?
>>56723058To be fair to Shudo he didn't really see Lugia as a species but an outright, singular God. It wasn't intended to be a normal Pokemon it was supposed to be wholly unique. The species thing came later to justify why the games let you have "multiples"
isn't there a baby lugia in the anime that would suggest there is a breeding pair of lugias male and female
>>56723111Yeah but is it canon for the game?
>>56723058Easy, they falls into one of the following mentally unwell bins, maybe even overlapping:Insecure incel>can't handle the idea of competing against any other male at all>insanely jealous of the idea that they don't have total control over a female>trust issues, cannot even trust women to be around men that aren't him on even the slightest chance she would want to leave him for one second>generally abusive and wifebeater typesSelf-hating cuck>bought into the "purest form of love" meme too hard>wishes he was also female>doesn't understand what women actually like about men>may or may not be a tranny (AGP type, wishes he was a lesbian despite a majority of women being straight)
>>56722740Thx niggy.
>>56722740Is this what the anime would have been if Shudo wrote it?
>>56724928Shudo wrote it, no?
>>56724934No I mean if he had creative control
>>56723050The entei I understand since animal were phased out over time.
>>56723058It is the "legendaries as individuals" paradigm.
>>56722231It's such a strange thing to want to drink over
>>56723050Dunno what he was thinking even attempting to write for them. Was it worth the bullshit? When you drink yourself to death over a character in an anime, one wonders. Anybody who wasn't retarded (so, that rules out all slants at the very least) would just walk out of that building and never return, saying fuck that place.
>>56725127They had a lot of freedom until the 4th gym.
>>56722231I am sick of women to the point that I can no longer imagine female monsters as being desirable. I am now forced to become gay.
>>56723050>he corporate executives added Molly's Mother coming back at the end of the movie when he wanted her dead the entire time and the movie to be about her learning to cope and move on.Oh si THATS what fucking happened, I remember thinking that made the entire movie feel pointless as a little kid.
>While Ash wouldn't notice due to being with her all the time, most people would consider her quite the beauty, in fact, when she was 17 she appeared on the front cover of the new year bumper issue of “Pokémon Pals” alongside a flower Pokémon known as Bellsprout.It was the biggest thing to happen in Pallet Town since Pallet Oak reached 931st on the trainer charts.It was approximately two years later that Ash was born, however she has never told him about her appearance in that special edition of “Pokémon Pals” because “I was so immature back then, yaaah~ ”https://pokemonthenovel.dreamwidth.org/1319.html
>>56722231Doesn't Lugia have a baby in the movie? Wouldn't people know she's female then?
>>56722231Based Shudo
>>56722799Considering how many hot chicks he's had after his jock during his journeys and he doesn't bang any of them? Pretty much canon.
>>56722522Bro? Tajiri? Shudo was just a weirdo. Tajiri is a complete social recluse. He's never seen in public.He was so obsessed with bug catching as a kid that people called him Dr. Bug. He said that he had a sleep schedule of 12h or sleep and 24h of being awake. There's all kinds of signs that he's autistic as fuck.
>>56722231Keeeeeeek femlugiafags lost
>>56722632Shudo kept the series from being just a videogame adaptation. Like Ash is constantly comparing himself with Gary and falling short, Misty is a tomboy unlike her sisters, Brock was basically a single parent. It's little things like that made the series relatable despite the premise. The dude clearly needed to be reigned in but without him the anime became stale.Like Arven's story in SV is actually relatable to audiences unlike whatever the hell Kalos was doing.
>>56727028Arven has no story, he shouts exposition at you intermittently and then "Oh it was his dog that got beat up by a jigglypuff or something" and that's it until the end where "Oh by way I'm not the professor I am a robot they are dead and Arven was their son I guess. I have to go now, my planet needs me" (professor Sada died on their way to the alternate universe). It's nothing. Fuck man, I'm not expecting the Dark Brotherhood from Oblivion out of pokemon but this nothing.
>>56722231Good. Lugia is better as a chubby daddy type.
>>56727077What the fuck are you talking about man?
>>56726601>12h or sleep and 24h of being awakesome terry davis shit there
>>56722914He's said in blogs that he was discussing leaving the show as early as orange islands, since he wasn't onboard with the idea of working on a long running series period. That was also why he wrote a few different endings that would have closed the book on Ash's story to franchise-killing levels, most of which he apparently didn't bother pitching.As it was, he wrote for the show until partway through Master Quest, and I assume the >>56722510 arc was way of amending the Lugia lore.
>>56722757>this copeBut enough about femtwofags.
>>56723058Lugia is most likely unique
>>56727975there's multiple mewtwos and one of the ones in the anime, howeverby, has a female voice
Shudo was just built different, he's the father of Truck-kun afterall…
>>56727077>I'm not expecting the Dark Brotherhood from OblivionTHATS your gold standard huh.
>>56722362females are disgustingthey should not be powerful or respectableJust look at all the media that makes them soIt's all garbage
>>56722231Isn't Lugia canonically a mother?
>>56730193the anime has 4 or more lugia
>>56730205Oh look, Lugia with her baby.
Is this the guy that was gonna make the 3rd movie about a real T-rex rampaging through the pokemon world? is so he sounds based as fuck
>>56722231Yes here is the leaked art. Notice the pattern that leater became the spine spikes
>>56730224he was going to copy digimon?
>>56730346To be fair Bandai copied nintendo
>>56722231Honestly if baffles me when anyone brings up pokemon voices like Arceus' in the movies as if it means jack shit.They were obviously casting both that one and Lugia based on what they thought would be the most marketable, not what was the actual creators' intent.
>>56730369the creators don't matter
>>56722777You've overdone it with the fellatio. The games were very good, immersive, unique, replayable and with a huge vision for the future and many imitators that couldn't thrive. And all that on a small 8-bit console. The anime attracted more people because that's its function, it had a flavor of its own that set it apart from everything that came after, but let's not pretend that's the only good thing either, there's some very outdated OS stuff today and newer fans often despise OS because of its lack of shonen and its imbalance in the treatment of the characters.
>>56722231palworld is no different
>>56730703tldr
>>56730729Read it.
>>56730703>muh plagiarism How petty are these guys?
>>56730218*Lugia with his son
was ho-oh's also a mess or are they ok
>>56730703holy fuck
>>56730903ho-oh doesn't have a designer attributed to it, so no idea
>>56722231We almost got this guy in too.Makes me wonder if more bizarre stuff like Zapmolcuno ever stood a chance.
>>56731014MechaMew2 from the musial felt awfully similar to Omega (replaced by Mew) for instance.
>>56722722God, Mewtwo used to be so cool, I hate what they did to him in later works.
>>56730901Hows it feel to be wrong?
>>56731014I fucking loved that mangaCoconut best waifu
