>Sorry Ash, you woke up late, that means you don't get one of the three Kanto starters >ends up getting all of the Kanto starters within 1 season anyways Gee, glad there were stakes
>>56873352stakes are tasty
Back when Pokemon was about catching them all
>>56873488What about Goh?
>>56873352If he had gotten one of the starters would he have still met the ones he got anyway on his journey? like would he have ended up with 2 bulbasaurs?
i would have just caught 6 mewtwos and started my journey to the elite 4
>>56873622Who
>>56873352he finds like a million Pikachu. You can find all sorts of pokemon but you will only ever have one first partner pokemon.
>>56873680That may have gone with Brock instead, especially considering all three of them they met had abandonment issues and Brock wanting to be a breeder could have helped them get over it.
>>56873488"Gotta catch 'em all!" was made up for English marketing, it never existed in Japan. Instead, they just have Ash say "Pokémon GETTO da ze!" ("Get Pokémon!"). They stuck the English phrase on EVERYTHING because it was catchy and encouraged children to collect everything, and the mindset would extend to merchandise.
>>56873352He got a Mew in the disguise of a Pikachu
>>56875229If Pokemon came out a few years later, they'd probably try and make Misty and Brock have more screentime and give Squirtle and Bulbasaur to them respectively.
>>56873352They needed a reason to give him a pikachu, dumbass
>>56875258>"Pokémon GETTO da ze!"I recently found out that Kasumi used a lot of Japanglish in the original language due to her being a Westaboo, from her catchphrase with her Pokemon, as well as idolizing anything foreign region.Ironically, Satoshi didn't give a shit about leaving his region and ended up traveling all over the world.
>>56873488So true
>>56875258>>56875583Reminds me there was a manga called that, which was the show’s own knock off. Shu’s father remains the only counterpart to Red‘s dad to even physically appear.
>>56875258>because it was catchy and encouraged children to collect everythingClassic w*stoids with the consumerism addiction
>>56873352oaks computer is missing textures this guy is supposed to be an expert
>>56873352So much for starters being one of a kind
