Sun, 09 Dec 2012 21:02:00 -0500

And after a long hiatus, we’re back! We left off in episode 2 of the Indigo League.

We come to the Pokemon Center…

But wait! What does it look like in game?

Episode #2: Pokemon Emergency!- Why did you get green?

Episode #2: Pokemon Emergency!- Road Rage

Sun, 18 Dec 2011 16:30:05 -0500

Just like there are no police stations in Kanto, there are no cars.

Episode #2: Pokemon Emergency!- Can I see some ID?

Sat, 17 Dec 2011 17:40:05 -0500

The ID isn’t on the Pokedex, it’s an actual card.

Episode #2: Pokemon Emergency!- Fuk da Police!

Sat, 17 Dec 2011 16:25:06 -0500

There are virtually no instances of police stations in the games… except in the most recent. But there are none in Kanto that we know of.

Recap of Episode 1: The last thing

Fri, 16 Dec 2011 17:41:06 -0500

Ho-oh is not a Roaming pokemon. Stop. OH! I almost forgot, Dexter shouldn’t be able to give Pokemon data if Ash hasn’t captured the Pokemon.

This is it for episode one! Tune in for episode 2 coming soon!

Recap of Episode 1 Part 2: EXP

Fri, 16 Dec 2011 16:25:06 -0500

I started up a yellow version for the purpose of gaining knowlege of Pikachu exp gain. I realize this might be different for the other versions, but it fits my needs as an accessable way for me to check level gain for a Pikachu. BUT ANYWAY HERE ARE LISTINGS FOR LEVEL GAIN AND STUFF

ACCORDING TO YELLOW VERSION

total from spearow- 46 Spearow @ ~ level 4 (33 exp each)= 1518 exp total

Lvl 5 = 91 to 6 @ 1427 left

lvl 6= 127 to 7 @ 1300 left

lvl 7= 169 to 8 @ 1131 left

lvl 8= 217 to 9 @ 914 left. Learned Thunder Wave

lvl 9= 271 to 10 @ 643 left

lvl 10= 331 to 11 @ 312 left

lvl 11= 397 with 85 left to level 12. Learned Quick Attack

So that means Pikachu is at level 11 and his attacks should include (from the new movests)

Thundershock, growl, tail whip and thunderwave. This is just really important for the rest of the series :D

Recap of Episode 1 Part 1: Electric Slide

Thu, 15 Dec 2011 22:10:00 -0500

First here’s a lovely image I threw together for your viewing pleasure. These are all the instances of Pikachu using Thundershock:

And now, really quick, no matter what, Thundershock only hits one target per use (correct me if I’m wrong) and in this image, Pikachu is clearly hitting not one, but 46 Spearow. On top of that, with all the images together, Pikachu would be using thundershock a totall of over 65 times (each of the people (estimated at 20) and the 46 Spearow and the other small instances. Thundershock only has 30 uses and there is no proof of Ash giving any power point recovery items. This is the biggest load of bs ever.

EDIT: Whoops, the picture says thundershock only has 20 PP. That should say 30 derp

Episode #1: Pokemon- I Choose You!: Size Matters

Thu, 15 Dec 2011 18:09:00 -0500

Remember Pallet Town and it’s huge population? Here’s Veridian City in the anime.

And here it is in game (most recent).

I just… either the programmers are lazy or the animators like to mess with us.

Episode #1: Pokemon- I Choose You!: It's Electric

Thu, 15 Dec 2011 16:25:05 -0500

Ok, wait. Stop. What attack is that? It looks WAAAY more than a basic thundershock. I don’t believe this Pikachu has gained any experience yet in this episode. And a look at bulabpedia will show that it doesn’t learn Thunder until level 50.

HOWEVER, one thing they did get right was the increased power Thunder gets from rain! So justified? Not really.

Episode #1: Pokemon- I Choose You!: THE BIRDS

Thu, 15 Dec 2011 13:08:00 -0500

Alright, here’s something to mull over. What’s wrong with this picture?

You might be like, “oh they’re just Spearow about to attack Ash.” That’s all fine and dandy, but the problem here is that Pokemon in game are ALMOST NEVER attacking people. And when they are:

it’s a stupid mistake

(I’m looking at you Professor Birch),

as dictated by a trainer

(Lance in Gold/Silver… pic unrelated),

or shadow Pokemon from Pokemon Colosseum/XD.

So back to my first observation, Ash is simply a moron.

AAAAND We're back!

Thu, 15 Dec 2011 12:24:57 -0500

it’s been like… a month or two? Sorry about not posting BUT NO ONE CARES LET’S POKEMON PHYSICS!

Episode 1: Bikes and crap

The problem here isn’t the pikachu in the bike. Just… wouldn’t it be cool if you could keep pokemon in the little baskets? I think it would be super cute. :3 Also it’s raining a few seconds later in this scene. Weather was not implemented until Gen 2. So technically this episode is ahead of it’s time!

I am the worst person ever.

Thu, 17 Nov 2011 12:43:00 -0500

Expect lots of updates in the next week when I’m on vacation and don’t have two 5 page papers due. And then I sure as hell know I’m going to be procrastinating exam week so expect lots of posts!

In the meantime: ask me questions about Pokemon Physics!

Can water conduct electricity?

Fri, 11 Nov 2011 22:09:01 -0500

It can conduct electricity. Salt/tap much more than than distilled.

So, because pikachu stores electricity in it’s cheeks, it could potentially harm things in a body of water. And in the previous post, because it’s in shock (excuse the pun), it could have harmed/killed everything in the river.

Episode #1: Pokemon- I Choose You!: HM 03 SURF

Fri, 04 Nov 2011 11:55:36 -0400

Oh come on really? I had to wait until WAAAAAY later in the game to actually be able to surf. Ash you douche, I HIGHLY doubt your Pikachu can surf and you don’t even have the right gym badges to use that move anyway run-on sentence. And Ash doesn’t even have a water Pokemon. Everyone knows that the only trainer class that can swim are the swimmers. Ugh, not like this river really exists anyway…

>:C

Episode #1: Pokemon- I Choose You!: River

Wed, 26 Oct 2011 22:43:00 -0400

Er… everyone is familiar with Route 1 right? If not here’s a map:

So… why is there a river here? (It appears when Ash is fleeing the Spearow)

Feel good lines. Just one more day guys!

Feel good lines. Just one more day guys!

Have this silly picture as a peace meal. Be back soon guys!

Mon, 24 Oct 2011 17:09:06 -0400

Have this silly picture as a peace meal. Be back soon guys!

Sorry it's been quiet everyone

Sun, 23 Oct 2011 11:54:00 -0400

Episode 1 and the beginning of Episode 2 should resume this Wednesday. IRL has hit me with exams and the like. BUT DON’T WORRY! I’ll make my return unscathed!

except with a few burns.

Episode #1: Pokemon- I Choose You!: Wild 46 Pokemon Battle!

Thu, 20 Oct 2011 15:29:04 -0400

Ok ok, Ash pissed a Spearow off. Now he’s pitched in face to face combat with 46 Spearow:

Or ass to face whatever. Point is, it’s impossible to run into 46 Pokemon at once. 46 random battles yeah but… this is just stupid.

HOWEVER, wild double battles do exist. They were introduced in Gen IV and carried to Gen V. It’s a neat feature which I doubt will go past two wild Pokemon.
