Sorry we're CLOSED

And that was the day my Ampharos died… outside a Pokemon Center while Nurse Joy was on her lunch break.

    I'm not sure whats a worse fate. Being stuck outside.

    Or this http://www.halolz.com/2010/10/24/weve-restored-yo

  3. smartmonkey on November 12th, 2010 12:14 pm

    Later on, you see professor oak coming out of the pokéCenter and Nurse joy who say :We hope to see you again!

  4. Hejiru on November 12th, 2010 12:15 pm

    Well, I guess there was no joy that day.

  5. MasqueNoMercy on November 12th, 2010 12:16 pm

    thank you for not doing the CSI thing and just making a pun :D i +1 you

  6. Judgment on November 12th, 2010 12:17 pm

    What do you expect with free health care?

  7. TheChikenMonkey on November 12th, 2010 12:18 pm

    Well I live in Canada where there's free health care. >:C

  8. CakeBard on November 12th, 2010 12:25 pm

    And to think you can stand inside for 24 hours everyday, and Nurse Joy NEVER leaves that table… EVER…

  9. ZegenRuki on November 12th, 2010 12:32 pm

    I'm sad now… Ampharos is my favorite electric Pokemon…

    Well, time to get a Luxray!

  10. Hejiru on November 12th, 2010 12:39 pm

    Actually, I was originally going to, but i couldn't figure out how to phrase it right without it sounding forced.

  11. MasqueNoMercy on November 12th, 2010 12:42 pm

    well i guess today there will be no

    joy

    yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah it does sounds weird

  12. Hejiru on November 12th, 2010 12:43 pm

    When you think about it, this is actually kinda sad… especially with Shawn's comment. :(

  13. tveye on November 12th, 2010 12:44 pm

    Good thing there's a Pokemart next door stocked with an infinite supply of revives!

  14. Zyquux on November 12th, 2010 12:52 pm

    *Cue picture of the inside of a Pokemart with a sign above the Revives saying "Out of Stock"*

  15. Zyquux on November 12th, 2010 12:54 pm

    It looks like Red….
    *Blackglasses*
    had no Joy.

    YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH?

  16. Hejiru on November 12th, 2010 12:57 pm

    +1 for using "Blackglasses" :D

  17. Daifuku on November 12th, 2010 1:09 pm

    Free health care is a myth. Taxes pay for it.

  18. DrRickRollins on November 12th, 2010 1:09 pm

    Guess he didn't have

    *monocle*

    the joy of his time

    YEEAAAAHHHHHHH

  19. DrRickRollins on November 12th, 2010 1:10 pm

    that happened in under a minute…

  20. Roflcopter419 on November 12th, 2010 1:10 pm

    Of course, it's less depressing when you realize Pokemon don't die. They just faint.

  21. luigiforVP on November 12th, 2010 1:16 pm

    What about the Day care? Just drop off the Ampharos, and then pick it up. Back to full health.

  22. Shawn Handyside on November 12th, 2010 1:17 pm

    Pokemon can die! Remember the tower in Lavender Town?

  23. TheChikenMonkey on November 12th, 2010 1:23 pm
  24. SentryGunner on November 12th, 2010 1:27 pm

    and if your a hobo that stupids themself into hospital?

  25. AuraMaster on November 12th, 2010 1:32 pm

    Well, he came as fast as he could, you know.

  26. MasterLuigi452 on November 12th, 2010 1:34 pm

    That idiot…
    Obviously, he doesn't know how to use Revive.

  27. DrRickRollins on November 12th, 2010 1:35 pm

    It's undergoing some repairs after some skitty and whalelord…umm, play time

  28. YourPalHal on November 12th, 2010 1:38 pm

    "if you want your pokemon back, it will cost… ¥48,300"

    *bulge*

    "I'm sorry, make that ¥48,400"

  29. Kuffey on November 12th, 2010 1:39 pm

    Mmm, penis puns.

  30. Kbman on November 12th, 2010 1:56 pm

    I saw the title in the RSS feed, and I thought it was gonna be an EBA joke. How foolish of me.

  31. Link4all on November 12th, 2010 1:57 pm

    Sample Artistic Analysis: Obviously the shadow on the Pokémon Center represents "the man" bringing down the boy and his Pokémon. Thus the reflection in the glass represents the boy's own reflection on what he's accomplished in life. Most notably, his inability to keep his own Ampharos alive. The pot laying next to the doors is there to accept the boy's hopes and dreams that are thrown away as a result of this ordeal.

  32. MorningMoon on November 12th, 2010 2:05 pm

    Yeah, but i think it's like (SO sorry for the comparison but its the only thing i can think of) zombies, pokemon only die when their head or some other vital part is just chopped off its body. And they have an incredible resistance to cuts and stuff, so, when a mon dies is because of a gruesome accident, so, that Ampharos should be safe.

  33. Axel_X on November 12th, 2010 2:07 pm

    Remember Blue's Raticate?
    It was all your fault.

  34. Jimmy on November 12th, 2010 2:08 pm

    Watt?!? It's not her fault that Ampharos's life short-circuited.

  35. Jimmy on November 12th, 2010 2:09 pm

    I smell a Nurse Joy harem…

  36. Jimmy on November 12th, 2010 2:10 pm

    Crap your pants now. It saves time dealing with patients later.

  37. Jimmy on November 12th, 2010 2:12 pm

    Pokemon: Capture them all…only to replace them with better ones later.

  38. luigiforVP on November 12th, 2010 2:12 pm

    Wait! What about Rare candys? They can revive too!

    (Waits to see if any wity replys pop up)

  39. Axel_X on November 12th, 2010 2:14 pm

    *ahem*

    *Wailord

  40. Axel_X on November 12th, 2010 2:21 pm

    And there wasn't much CHANSEY in the world for Ampharos.

  41. Axel_X on November 12th, 2010 2:22 pm

    Before he heard you beat the Elite Four?

  42. Zyquux on November 12th, 2010 2:39 pm

    All Rare Candies have been confiscated and subsequently destroyed by the EV Police. Along with all herbal "medicine".

  43. CJ47 on November 12th, 2010 2:58 pm

    Am I the only one that's questioning the fact a 10 year old kid is carrying a 135lbs pokemon without any problems?

  44. Yoshi_Dino on November 12th, 2010 3:03 pm

    Put in a heal ball, that will solve all problems and bring about world peace….i think.

  45. Alpar on November 12th, 2010 3:13 pm

    But they only work on Dark types.

  46. Alpar on November 12th, 2010 3:14 pm

    This kid obviously hasn't ever learned how to use that money he stole from trainers to buy Revives from Marts.

  47. Hejiru on November 12th, 2010 3:32 pm

    Not at all. They power Dark-type moves. Any Pokemon can wear them.

    Not that Ampharos learns many Dark moves anyway…

  48. Ataeru on November 12th, 2010 4:04 pm

    Pokemon, Rated M edition

    in all seriousness though, I too felt sad looking at that. ='(

  49. bootmax55 on November 12th, 2010 4:13 pm

    What about that green guy who owns that mansion?i think hes a myth.

  50. DM1293 on November 12th, 2010 4:31 pm

    Ash: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALP!

    *EBA Agents drop in and do the Electric Boogaloo*

  51. DM1293 on November 12th, 2010 4:32 pm

    He was out of pokeballs.

  52. BoxeyBrown on November 12th, 2010 4:52 pm

    Player blacked out, rushed to nearest pokemon center…

    Then your games starts up again with one less pokemon.

  53. Zyquux on November 12th, 2010 5:09 pm

    Well, it can safely be assumed that Red already owns that Ampharos, so that would mean that he has already used a Pokeball on it. The Heal Ball only works when you first capture a Pokemon. Therefore, the only way to use a Heal Ball to heal it is to release it and capture it again, which would be impossible because a PC must be used to release Pokemon. As has already been established, the Pokemon Center is closed and the Day Care is undergoing repairs. Even if Red managed to find an available PC, released Pokemon can never be found again, defeating the purpose of healing Ampharos.


    If only I could write a paper on Pokemon, then college would be much easier.

  54. Zyquux on November 12th, 2010 5:11 pm

    I BEG TO DIFFER!

    Magneton > Magnezone

  55. KamikazeGible on November 12th, 2010 5:17 pm

    And that weightlifting really helped.

  56. KamikazeGible on November 12th, 2010 5:18 pm

    We all know it isn't Joy's lunch break. She's really in there doing Brock.

  57. demospyro on November 12th, 2010 5:20 pm

    My Electivire finds your lack of whimsy distasteful…

  58. Darth_Destro on November 12th, 2010 5:45 pm

    That's deep. Here's a +1 for you.

  59. Matterisgood on November 12th, 2010 6:04 pm
  60. Spartan_Laser on November 12th, 2010 6:04 pm

    GGGGGAAAAAARRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

  61. xxpikalexxx on November 12th, 2010 6:18 pm

    Oh well, I guess I'll go get raikou out of the compu… Damn…

  62. werewolfsfury on November 12th, 2010 6:22 pm

    what about the computer or he could fly home

  63. werewolfsfury on November 12th, 2010 6:24 pm

    actually putting it in then closing it then taking it back out it would be fully healed

  64. werewolfsfury on November 12th, 2010 6:27 pm

    he must have been doing a nuzloke run

  65. werewolfsfury on November 12th, 2010 6:29 pm

    we need more EBA jokes

  66. BackwardsSneeky on November 12th, 2010 6:53 pm

    I'm not going to lie, I shed a tear reading that. I don't think I'll be able to play R/B version with the same mindset ever again.

    At least your rival in G/S/C is a total dick.

  67. Weibbles on November 12th, 2010 7:18 pm

    Sadly…this is the fate of many Poisoned Nuzlockers. i_i

  68. Zyquux on November 12th, 2010 7:33 pm

    Ah, yes. I had forgotten about that. There is still the matter of locating a PC that is not in a Pokemon Center or the Day Care. If memory serves, there is one in Silph Co.

    Of course, there's always the people in the houses that can heal your Pokemon. (Do the Chansey Dance!)

  69. Lordshadow on November 12th, 2010 8:30 pm

    I hear the enemy pokemon took him out without too much resistance.

  70. Lordshadow on November 12th, 2010 8:32 pm

    Link?

  71. Tael on November 12th, 2010 9:00 pm

    CHANSEY! CHANSEY! CHANSEY DANCE!

  72. Jimmy on November 12th, 2010 9:25 pm

    OBJECTION!!!

    Magneton < Magnezone

    U.F.O.s are the shit. 'Nuff said.

  73. ZatchZombie on November 12th, 2010 9:52 pm

    You mean Giovanni's son? AKA The leader of team rocket who just dropped off the face of the earth? Yeah, he never had a dad or a mom, let alone a home. Yep every time you beat him your beating an orphaned homeless child. How do you feel now?

  74. Jimmy on November 12th, 2010 10:15 pm

    GOOD NEWS!!! It's a SUPPOSITORY!!!

  75. Jimmy on November 12th, 2010 10:17 pm

    So, I take it that Brock is rockin' her world, huh? Maybe taking it to the next level, hmm? Seeing perhaps what may Bellossum? Hmm?

  76. DM1293 on November 12th, 2010 10:25 pm

    The ones I like are the ones that aren't overly loved.

    The ones I throw up on a whim are the ones that reach nearly 100 points.

    There is some sense of irony there.

  77. werewolfsfury on November 12th, 2010 10:29 pm

    well I was thinking of that but I couldn't think of any besides his moms house

  78. Zyquux on November 12th, 2010 10:37 pm

    There's the woman in the house on the way to Victory Road and the old lady in Generation III that always insists that you stay longer…. O_O""

  79. Sir_Nox on November 12th, 2010 10:37 pm

    On top of all that he was only trying to battle Team Rocket so daddy Giovanni would give him some respect and love him again. You pretty much made him look like a weak fool and an asshat for stealing the pokemon. Not to mention I'm certain after the final time you face off with him, where he's "mended his ways", he's picked up by the cops for stealing said pokemon and thrown in juvey or something, effectively seperating his pokemon he had raised for "months" from him. You basically ruined 7 lives right there. 8 if they never figure out that the Sneasel belonged to the guy in Cianwood.

  80. Sir_Nox on November 12th, 2010 10:43 pm

    Tell me; is a man not entitled to the free health care for his pokemon?
    "NO!" Says the man in Kanto, "It belongs to the Elite 4!"
    "NO!" Says the man in Johto, "It belongs to Ho-Oh!"
    "NO!" Says the Pokemon Ranger, "It belongs to everybody!"
    I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose…The creepy old lady who lets you take a nap in her house.

  81. Sir_Nox on November 12th, 2010 10:46 pm

    Looks like someone didn't save their game before they ran into Gary.

  82. spaghettiweegee on November 12th, 2010 11:06 pm

    He is the rock-hard gym leader… And I'm sure doing it while stoned only enhances the experience.

  83. AuraMaster on November 12th, 2010 11:13 pm

    DO WANT.

  84. SS4FireFox on November 12th, 2010 11:20 pm

    OBJECTION!!

    Geodude.

    i beat all of you

  85. SS4FireFox on November 12th, 2010 11:23 pm

    Your pokemon are at red health, your half knocked out, and 10 steps from a pokemon center

    who steps in and blocks your way?

    Gary Mother Fucking Oak

  87. Jade Catima on November 13th, 2010 12:04 am

    Already exists. Most of the Nurse Joy clones were produced by KaibaCorp so that Kaiba could shun them with his cold indifference.

  88. smartmonkey on November 13th, 2010 12:17 am

    redMoms is out "Shopping" and the internet is broken.

  89. werewolfsfury on November 13th, 2010 3:22 am

    he could try the invisible one in the hotel or at the elite 4

  90. Oddwan on November 13th, 2010 6:29 am

    Well, the computer is inside the Pokécenter, right?

  91. Oddwan on November 13th, 2010 6:30 am

    *Shrugs*

  92. Oddwan on November 13th, 2010 7:25 am

    +1 for the Futurama ref

  93. TehVortex on November 13th, 2010 9:22 am

    It was a bit of a (thunder) shock to hear that.

  94. TehVortex on November 13th, 2010 9:28 am

    Probably due to all that Protein he took earlier.

  95. TehVortex on November 13th, 2010 9:30 am

    Scawled in the corner: "Gary was here, Ash is a loser!"

  96. Newbonzy1 on November 13th, 2010 10:41 am

    Dang…. No pun here.

  97. Jimmy on November 13th, 2010 2:10 pm

    12 seconds to be precise…

  98. BackwardsSneeky on November 13th, 2010 4:08 pm

    I don't really feel so bad for tearing him away from his Pokemon, after all he might as well have beat the damn things with tire irons.

  99. musicsquid on November 13th, 2010 7:21 pm

    Your Ampharos was just beaten by to a pulp by Brock’s Onix and you run to the nearest pokemon center to heal but who’s in there banging nurse joy so you can’t heal?

    Gary Mother Fuckin’ Oak.

  100. werewolfsfury on November 13th, 2010 8:56 pm

    yes but it is also at the elite 4 and there is also the invisible one and the are more pokemon centers or he could use a berry

  101. Reclaimer077 on November 14th, 2010 2:31 pm

    NEVAR FORGET.

  102. Jimmy on November 14th, 2010 5:13 pm

    Must've been one heck of a jolt huh?
