Sometimes you just have to sit back and wonder… how did the Pokemon manga turn out so hardcore and the TV show turned out so mediocre and uneventful? I can tell you who’s fault it isn’t… Gary “Mother Fucking” Oak’s!

Email your video game related LOLZ to and if it's good we'll post it!
Did you know the site has over 2,500 video game themed lolz? 
I actually checked out the manga…and was surprised by how much more intense it was than the show!
Well hey I mean at least Ash saved Silph Co! No wait that was Red. Wasn't he the one who Narrated How I Met Your Mother? No wait that was Bob Saget……….Ash sucks balls.
Red also stands on a mountain with a short sleeved jacket for years without getting hypothermia, snow blindness or frostbite!
Now who's the motherfucking trainer?
I was pleasantly surprised by the manga for Pokemon. It was actually quite good.
I dunno let's ask him Hey Red who's the motherfucking trainer you or Ash? -waits for Red's response from atop his mountaintop home-
I don't care who's better than who, I just want their secret to eternal youth.
You would think after fourteen years of not really accomplishing much, Ash would look back on his life, realize what a pathetic failure he was and overdose on Rare Candy, sparing us another season of the same crap rehashed…
One important difference.
Ash: The loudest pre-teen in all of Kanto.
RED: Never says a word.
Aint all the Manga's a million times better then the kiddy shows they squeeze from it?
Ash, you should be ASHamed.
…i'll go into the corner now
+1 for you because you made me laugh bro
Red's Pikachu: Has no problem winning
Ash's Pikachu: often loses to low level pokemon
After many years, and knowing Thunder, Iron Tail, and Volt Tackle, you would expect Ash to win more battles with Pikachu…
actually it is gary "motherfucking" oak's fault, he doesn't exist in the manga >=/ ! only in the anime… that the reason that ash sucks SO BAD !
And Gary isn't the main character of the anime because?
Ash: Traveled numerous regions.
Red: Stood on a mountain for four years.
(P.S. Red's gonna have a hayday with this post.)
(P.S.S. I now have a hat. Can I join the TF2 Halolz server?)
SEE?! SEE?! EVERYONE SAID I WAS CRAZY AND IMMATURE FOR LIKING IT!!!
Pokemon Special/Adventures is AWESOME. An Arbok gets CUT IN HALF.
I USE CAPS LOCK TO EMPHASIZE MY POINTS WHEN SHOUTING.
But Red calls his Pokemon into and out of battle.
The viewers needs someone to relate to, because they can't compare to GARY MOTHERFUCKING OAK.
The thing that makes me love the manga is that the Trainer is even more involved in the battle, not just shouting from the sidelines like in the anime.
I don't think Ash has ever seen rare candy… and if i'm wrong, someone please prove me wrong, i would love to see how 4kids explains pokémon steroids.
But, like most things involving RED, most battle text is written in the third person. Therefore, it can be implied that the person reciting the calling of Pokemon is a third party character (possibly omnipotent, maybe even an implied script for the players themselves) or RED thinking of himself as the star of his own adventure and providing his own narration.
In other words, either RED has a superiority complex or battles are watched over by an announcer/Arceus/the player.
We should be looking at the positives on Ash, for example:
Ash stole a bike from a defenseless girl.
Ash stole a charmander from a trainer.
Ash cheated his way out of more than 4 of 8 of his kanto badges.
Ash has also dressed up as a woman.
It takes strength to do things right, but it takes balls to do it the way Ash does.
Thought the same, after all his journeys and epic fights he had, he still uses low level pokemons and pikachu can't do shit.
Oh noes! Team Rocket have invented another terrible machine to kidnap people's Pokemon! Quick! PIKACHU USE THUNDERSHOCK
*destroys an entire Magikarp themed tank*
WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!
Sorry for spoiling every episode of Pokemon for you.
The only man who could compare to GARY MOTHERFUCKING OAK is Professor Oak himself.
THEY USE GUNS
NO, NOT INVISIBLE ONES CENSORED BY 4KIDS, REAL GUNS
Edit: Yes, Zyquux, I too use Caps Lock far too much.
Nah, he wins everything.
PIKACHU! USE THUNDERSHOCK!
*defeats a Sandile*
Other Trainer: WTF
Ash is a capable trainer, actually. But because GARY MOTHERFUCKING OAK is in the anime, Ash now sucks.
OBJECTION! Ash has destroyed thousands of malfunctioning crappy Team Rocket robots! With a yellow electric mouse 2 feet tall!
Red's better. It takes skill to stand on mountains. Walking around thousands of miles is easy!
DARN IT! I was looking forward to that episode! Why'd you spoil it?! T~T
Red even gets tortured in AN ELECTRIC CAGE MADE BY MAGNETON.
They would explain it the same way they explain pet abuse and violence. By making it cartoony.
Much like Gordon Freeman giving orders to the resistance members who follow him, all Red orders are made by simply staring at his pokémons.
Ash is still 10 according to the newest Pokemon season ಠ_ಠ
*Ash stole multiple bikes from multiple girls.
I agree, he should REDo his entire Pokemon career. . .
Is there room for two in that corner?
I dunno man, Ash has got plot armour.
I mean, the pokemon fainted? Battle doesn't end, I'll just catch it with my pokeball.
Pokemon about to get attacked? Tell them to dodge them.
Fire/Water not good enough against the enemy? Get them all to attack at the same time.
they do what he says or he blankly stares them into oblivion
gets his pikachu to slide under a piloswine, suddenly it's weak to electricity, THAT MAKES PERFECT SENSE
and that is because he knows exactly when you win and comes as fast as he can
He didnt stole them, he destroyed them
Wait… Crystal was the Pokemon Master, not Red.
my favorite had to of been the one in the hoenn region where he gave his swellow and pikachu ELECTRIC ARMOR by firing a thunderbolt straight up into the air, I was twelve, never had played a pokemon game, and I had even dismissed the ones where pikachu fired a thunderbolt straight up to hit itself to recharge itself, and I still went WTF!!
Half of the kanto's gym leader are in team rocket and they try to kill red.
The best part about Red? He got to the top and he stopped and stayed there. Allowing other people to win in their own home regions.
Ash has to be mediocre EVERYWHERE. Because of him, Gold (Jimmy) was sent to a spinoff show, and Brendan and Lucas were banished to movie intros.
I still really want to find and read the manga as I have a couple of the firstgen mangas and they are REALLY good.
Also I want to see a character that ISN'T based on Red.
Haven't there been more than 365 episodes by now? And don't they all take place over the course of at LEAST one day?
They're just shitting us now.
Ask Red, Ash's secret is most likely "go through character development and then become stupid again so you can go through more development."
Honestly, how many times has that boy forgotten every life lesson he's learned?
The power of animated logic!
His answer is to have the highest level team of any trainer in game history, beyond that of latter-day Champions. Even Alder only got to the upper 70s.
Of the few I have, I know that Red's Pikachu causes Brock's Onix to explode using an electric attack.
Onix is Ground type!
I think the series should have been made about red.
Remember that time his Pikachu kicked a Cubone's skull helmet around backwards?
Wouldn't that have broken it's snout off? poor thing…
Several.
Did she really do anything after the GSC arc?
Like catching all the other Pokemon?
OBJECTION! All of those were the same robot run by the same pair of morons. And Pikachu is only 1 foot and 4 inches tall!
"you have failed me for the last time, mudkip!"
"NOOOOOOOOooooo…!"
Sorry Red, I like you more, but the one advantage Ash has is that he's traveled with more girls than you.
…then again, 3/4 of those girls are younger than him… I'd considerably worry about this.
I got tired of it around the turn of the second generation. I actually didn't take part in second gen, but I got back in during third gen. But couldn't get back into the show.
No one can blame me.
HOLD IT!
Red does possess the ability to speak! He knows the words "Yes" and "No"
Minor win got Ash though:
His Pikachu can kill ground types with electric attacks… somehow…
Despite Shawn's comment, I think that this is only referring to the game's version of Red. As the first player character, he was the first who could have become a PkMn Master.
This reminds me, for the last pokemon game, I don't want an elite four, I want a battle with every trainer from the last games.
Either that, or have missingno as the legendary pokemon.
He still can't tell if you are a boy or a girl though.
*Bunny Hammer*
*Steal
Also, if memory serves, the only girl who's bike he destroyed was Misty's. The rest of them were just "Coincidences"
Don't be so BLUE… you're not the only one who's coming up with this stuff
Now move over.
Herd of Tauros = Most successful trip to the safari zone ever.
Yet Red has accomplished three times as much without such armour. That only proves he is twice as badass because of it.
Red can stay on task. Ash? It takes a whole season to find a single gym.
Red keeps every Pokemon that fully evolves. Ash, on the other hand, ditches them at Professor Oak's/Juniper's lab at the end of every season when they reach their max evolutionary potential.
The primary reason everyone (except Dawn) followed him was because he wrecked their bike. He never intended to, but it happened.
Granted, Dawn;s bike was destroyed too, but she doesn't hold Ash responsible, probably because she actually saw it happen and could fully understand it was noone's fault.
Thus, you are both correct.
I'm just GREEN with envy. Maybe there's a SILVER of hope that some day I'll ru-BY as good as you guys at making puns. I've RED so many good puns. WHITE now I'm sitting at MY PC trying to come up with something… Maybe I should take a break and come BLACK to it later…
Oh pokemon snap!
Here's another
Red has saved the world
Ash only saves the world in non-canon probably just dreaming about it movies
If Gary MOTHERFUCKING Oak went back to being a total douche bag and went to Unova, Ash would never reach Nimbasa city
In Ash's defense, Charmander's former trainer was kind of a douche.
It's the pokemon counterpart of the Referee in Medabots. Much like the various nurses and policewomen, the referee brothers are all identical, and have the same job. But while Medabot referee is a master of disguise, the pokemon referee is a master of stealth, hiding where no one can see him, and commenting on the battle.
It confuses the hell out of trainers when they hear that misterious voice float across the battlefield.
"METAPOD used HARDEN."
I dunno, man. BLUE was pretty motherfuckin last I saw. Has Gary ever sliced an Arbok in half?
No way, he's only 10… still. Well, that's what he tells everyone.
Ash: Constantly haggles alongside various men and women who would fail to pass a base CRB check or Benefits Claim
In the manga, Red tamed the whole Safari Zone in one night.
He's not Douche. Douche is Oak's grandson!…..
I'll join them over there in the corner….
42.
Ink, paint, and people who keep buying Pokemon.
They never speculate how old Red is. For all we know he isn't 10. (The whole age thing came from the TV show). Also, perhaps the best thing ever, Ronnie James Dio has a song called "The Man On The Silver Mountain". Hmmm…Who is the ONLY person who's ever been on a SILVER MOUNTAIN?!
Don't worry. It was only the 660th episode when they said it.
Almost two years, pfft.
correction
Red "…"
Mudkip "NOOOOOooooo…"
I've always wondered. Where does Ethan come into this?
I mean, Red became a Kanto master, took down Team Rocket, and took place as Champion
But Ethan caught all the Pokemon of BOTH Kanto and Johto, took down Team Rocket when it had an organized system of admins, became Champion to a team of mother fucking Dragonite, and to top it all off, BEAT Red.
Given, this was within… What, a month? Compared to Red's years of training?
Dat Ash…
dont worry, no one spoiled you when they use a meouth themed air ballon…
you forgot "Loves mountains"
but can tell when you use your bike or fishing rod…
in the manga he got frozen alive by the elite four, who by the way, they are evil…
but survived and kicked their elite asses
OBJECTION! all Ash did was scream again and again "pikachu dont give up!" and "use thunder bolt, Now!!"
and the only human being that feels atracted to girls in the pokemon anime world, is brock… and he is pathetic
everyone that saw missigno, the legendary pokemon, disapeared leaving nothing behind…
He sacrificed (or "released", if you want to be politically correct) his Pokémon to this guy:
<img src="http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/tvsea02_019.gif" /img>
She described it as "extra-crispy", however.
ENTER THE SAFARI ZONE, LOSE THE ROBOTIC PIDGEY-LOOKING GUIDE AND GET TRAPPED AND ALMOST DEVOURED BY WILD CARNIVOROUS PLANTS.
<img src="http://images.ados.fr/television/photo/3647926364/pokemon/pokemon-red-255823311f.jpg" /img>
LEAVE IT AS THEIR MASTER.
Trainer stole my bike.
Red ages.
He started out being 10 or 11 in the RBG arc; now he's … 19 I think.
How about Blue, Green and Yellow? Or all the characters from the other generations?
PEOPLE DIE
…well they get revived, but still! They died!
AIM FOR THE HORN!
I hear Red is the only person capable of taming a wild Chuck Norris. Of course it is only because they mutually respect and loathe one another and know that without Red's masterful control and Chuck's purposes-filled power the world as it is cannot exist free of Zombies.
You guys must be RED in the face.
….
Now make some room. I brought popcorn.
Plus, when they mean serious business, Red and Ash put their cap backwards. Ethan keeps it backwards ALL THE FUCKING TIME.
MEANWHILE
Ash: "You have failed me for the last time, Mudkip!"
Mudkip: *gun draw* Not today
Main protagonist, I mean. But that's what I mean. The characters from the other generations. I only own 2 firstgen books from the manga.
It's like the DIAMOND standard, being as pretty as a PEARL. You always have to be CRYSTAL clear when it comes to being RED with anger, or YELLOW with sickness.
I suck at puns. XD
Remember trainer Green? In Japan, Red had to go through that asshole before he could fight the Elite Four and climb the mountain to be the world's master trainer.
In Japan, Gary "MF" Oak was trainer Green, not Blue.
Oh, Douche over there? I beat him with Butts the Pidgey and Penis the Metapod.
SUPER EFFECTIVE IS MORE THAN RELEVANT.
Well, the only thing that Pikachu feels is worth shocking is Jesse and James.
Pokemon TV show. Watch it more.
*Throws TV at Ataeru*
He gets awfully pissy when it comes to bikes.
COME OUT, Trainer Red! WE ARE MOUNTAIN-PROOF!
(P.S. They're hatless now!)
And not to mention takes every opportunity (mostly in the early episodes) to cram his methods of training down others' throats. See episode 8, in particular.
don't even make me talk about the "rocket punch" thing
For all we know that can be a nod or shake of the head though.
What? But isn't there like one episode that has his birthday and I'm one hundred percent certain that he once referred to the fact that he's been dealing with team rocket for years.
Someone's really been abusing Dialga's powers because time is really messed up there.
Holy Magikarp, this post put me to 69 E-peen!
<img src=http://files.sharenator.com/quagmire_3865_more_jokes-s357x480-92030-535.jpg>
You guys are awesome!
Don't worry, they were LOPUNNY, although others have left me WEEZING. As long as these puns don't get PURUGLY, i'll be fine.
Ya DIGLETT?
NOT EVEN PIKACHU CAN SAVE YOU NOW ASH!
You'd have thought RED would've been all over this post… and yet no sign from him…
You have to get Red to say anything at all first though. He's the quiet type.
Which should also be added to the list actually. And that Ash's like a parrot.
I think you should also add that Ash is, for some reason, a pimp towards female humans and pokemons.
And this is all based on a children's monster game that is from Nintendo?
You know, for kids!
"Dodge it!", the most broken move in the anime.
Perhaps in the way of romance, but don't forget that Brock not only provides more than adequate meals to the protagonist and maintains his composure and rational thought in the most dire situations (except when in the presence of members of the opposite sex who are not Misty), he also managed to properly raise and educate his nine younger siblings in the absence of their parents.
Saying that Brock is pathetic out of the context of courtship is not true to the character.
that is why I said it in the context of courtship… unless…
<img src="http://www.vgcats.com/super/images/091217.gif" /img>
Ash had encountered almost every single legendary pokemon in existance and has never so much as thrown a single pokeball. He met ARCEUS for crying outloud. Lucario thought he was his former master. He rode lugia, saw ho-oh in the first damn episode, ect. ect.
and YET he's still a complete idiot.
Also, space.
You forget that Red is accompanied with a personal soundtrack throughout his journey rel="nofollow">
related, how having a soundtrack while riding a bike is awesome
Yeah especially to a FREAKING SNIVY THAT BELONGED TO A NEWBIE IN THE NEW SEASON!!! I understand that Pikcahu had something happened to him, but doesn't he know any other moves that is not electric based?
And then healed himself by Skinny Dipping on Mt. Silver with Sabrina.
HOLD IT! (Again)
The "Copycat" girl! If you visit her in a game in which Red appears, she'll be copying exactly what Red says, supposedly, thus, Red has to talk
Alcohol. XD Lots and lots of alcohol. None of that cheap stuff either. Oh, and you have to drink your beverages on top of a mountain.
Is it ever less than relevant?
Yellow and Green disagree with you, alongside technically Sapphire during the Emerald arc.
meanwhile… in the anime… rel="nofollow">
In addition, in FireRed/LeafGreen, Green/Blue calls Red a chaty Kathy.
Ash also travels all over the world with a Gym Leader and meeting women
Red stands on a mountain
Who do you think gets more action?
Swedish Magic.
Also onions.
In the scheme of things, if somebody destroyed your bike, would you really waste a year of your life following him around, getting chased by terrorists, listening to him whine, never fulfilling your real dream UNTIL YOU LEAVE HIM, and not end up being given a new bike; when there is a guy that gives you bike vouchers for FREE.
In the anime they just switched the Red and Blue character traits.
Red (Manga)=MOTHER****ER!!!!
Blue (Manga)=eh
Red (Anime)=eh
Blue (Anime)=MOTHER****ER!!!!!
Ash thew a Master Ball at Chuck Norris, it refused to open.
Well, if you use the glitch, Red did all of that in 2 hours O.O
Wait….Ash was 10 in 1997….he's 24 now…and only hangs out with 10 year old girls….OFFICER JENNY!
When Red loses he gets slipped a roofie
When Ash loses he whines for days
….Advantage Ash…barely
Manga Red: Nope. His Pikachu made an Onix explode from a Thundershock he didn't have to spend a night charging.
Game Red: You're correct there.
Because forcing your Ryhorn (or however you spell it) to evolve into a Rhydon with the use of drugs is totally age appropriate. So long as it's disguised with the title of "Team Rocket" or some other evil organization, it's TOTALLY cool!
After the Red, Blue/Green arc, you get a handful of "main protagonists". There's no exact one main character.
Ah but they could be saying that sarcastically. As for the copycat girl. I got nuthin'
Red is really Gary "motherfucking" Oak bitches!
oh hey my TV is back.
Anyway pikachu always did that, in every season, almost every single episode. It's nothing new.
If you want to question my knowledge about the TV show, I can spoil what will happen in a few episodes from now about Team Rocket if you want.
Now that's a lot of balls.
Mind reader?
True, they only SLIGHTLY favored Red, but Blue and Green were just as essential.
Red. rel="nofollow">Haven't you ever seen 300? There be naked chicks at the top of mountains.
Also, that "Gym Leader" you speak of has a bit of a knack for repelling women, if anything.
Red does not control Chuck Norris. However, he is the only person from whom Chuck Norris will take suggestions from.
-5? Really? I don't think this post needs to be downvoted that harshly…
……Heck yes. I can see it now. Somebody definitely needs to make it happen.
Do we have anybody in the Halolz community named Somebody available to create and animate sprites of Ash riding a Bike, and Misty chasing him?
Correction: It took Green 3 years to get Red to help her save Blue from the then-evil
grasp of Missingno.
And then Silver was a time-warping omnicidal evil overlord who got killed by two teenagers with '80s hair and their monochromatic bird-dragon things.
Also, Subject N is Wally.
Wow, I have so much Epileptic Trees.
Since when has Green/Blue ever been wrong? Well, save for the being better than Red, but other than that, he's honest.
DEATH TO ARCEUS THE TRAITOR
HE WAS MEANT TO DESTROY MAN
NOW WE HUMANS MUST AID THE TRUE ALPHA IN
HIS QUEST FOR REVENGE AND TRUTH
ALL HAIL MISSINGNO
LORD SILVER: Now go forth, my minions, and make the dream of our god
a reality! MUAHAHAHAHA!!!
Gold was the kid from Johto who helped Red & Green save Blue from Missingno.
Ethan was that French kid Dawn hangs out with.
I can't be the only one that heard "I AM MR. REFEREE AND I WILL BE YOUR REFEREE!" when they read "Referee in Medabots".
I am?
foreveralone.jpg
Red, because he has a beautiful wife* and a son** who recently saved the world not only from a bunch of defective androids but also two time-warped omnicidal madmen
who fused with a god and the icons of yin & yang respectively***.
(*Green Oak)
(**Black Oak)
(***Silver with Missingno, N/Wally with Reshiram & Zekrom)
Iron Tail. It somehow learned Iron Tail by itself.
He uses his Lapras and the hail atop Mt. Silver to keep his drinks cold.
And then got turned to stone.
Her name is Kris, not Crystal.
Crystal is a synonym for gem. Kris is a Johto League trainer.
Know the differance.
I blame massive head trauma. Either that or side-effects of all the date-rape drugs Brock's been using on him.
Also added to the list is the relationship with support characters. All of ash's sidekicks became great when he left. All of red's sidekicks became great -because he helped-.
OBJECTION!
Leo is referring to the manga character Crystal, also known as the Capturer, as evidenced by the fact that she has caught all of the non-Legendary Pokemon. Also, it is generally accepted that a "Pokemon Master" is a Trainer that catches all of the Pokemon ("Gotta catch 'em all!") whereas the "Champion" is the Trainer that beats the Elite Four.
themoreyouknow.jpg
SPELLING HAMMER!
*difference
Red traveled alone, not weighing himself down with something as meaningless as friendship.
By the way, I hope people are aware that Ash was and still is voiced by a women…
You'd have to go to Ash for that, Red actually ages as the manga goes on. At HeartGold/SoulSilver he should be around 20 actually.
Red doesn't have a superiority complex.
It's not a complex if he's right :U
And this is ALL just in the FIRST "SEASON"!
I've got the entirety of the manga up to the beginning of Platinum on my computer. The only problem is that it's translated by several different factions, so names are slightly wonky at times (Not that it detracts) and the ending of Emerald has a HORRIBLE translation. Other than that, it's peachy-keen though. If anyone's interested, and know of a place where I can upload it for free, then I'm all for it :)
Wait, you meant that as being negative for Red?
I thought you came with another thing Red does better than Ash.
Red: Captured Mewtwo, the most powerful pokemon
Ash: Turned to stone by Mewtwo
Red in the manga has Misty, Erika and Yellow trying to go out with him. What does he do? Goes to Mt. Silver to train some more.
He also takes a pummelling from Lt. Surge and the Elite 4: Lt. Surge throws him off the SS Anne and leaves him for dead in the sea. Next time they meet, he tries to electrocute Red with a fucking Zapdos.
And the Elite 4? Bruno has his Hitmonlee kick Red off the summit of Mt. Moon. And then Loreli freezes him.
Other reasons why the manga kicks the anime’s ass-
http://www.ourmanga.com/Pokemon_Adventures/50/PA4… http://www.ourmanga.com/Pokemon_Adventures/61/PA5… http://www.ourmanga.com/Pokemon_Adventures/84/PA7… http://www.ourmanga.com/Pokemon_Adventures/86/PA7…
Well, he already had rock hard abs anyway…
So he does Parrot Exposition?
Nope, not gonna link you to TV Tropes.
… Because I don't know how to make embedded URLs on comments here.
*-50 nerd cred*
After all, he is, the very best. Like no one ever was.
So Ash has ADD, like Link.
Now only if he was mute, he'd be cooler.
The two of them are also fluent in communicating through staring.
Space. That's what's for rent in his head alright! =D
Unbeknowns to us all and even Ash, that Pikachu has done some serious EV training and Rare Candy tripping, but often fiegns weakness to keep the officials not suspecting it.
Also, it's Lv9001.
To catch them might be Kris' true test, but to train them is… Wait, that's Green's cause…
Shit…
Oh wait, battling is Red's deal. :D
Ash is a bit of a bitch.
Spelling Hammer: Normal-type move, 95 base power, 15 PP.
GRAMMAR HAMMER: ???-type move, 200 base power, 69 PP.
sorry, i got the spanish version, so I heard
Entonces yo, el señor referi, actuare como referi…
Declaro esta una robobatalla de sumision!
I LIKE TRAINS
not me…
I played soul silver, and won the elite four, that by the way are five, counting the champion…
everything with lvl 55-60 pokemons
what do I find?
that bastard had all between 80-85…
do i have to train 20 levels each of my pokemon in the tall grass?
…no, I dont have to… *downloads next pokemon game*
Omniscience, how does it work?
But then Gold comes along, stomps the attempt to revive Team Rocket out, and catches ALL the Pokemon before going on to not only become Pokemon League Champion for Johto, but Kanto as well. Then he himself defeats Red and becomes the greatest Pokemon master ever.
I prefer the Electric Tale of Pikachu. There, Misty had double-D's, and we got to see her naked!…
…. TWICE!
Manga Team Rocket: Takes over cities, creates DNA monsters, injects Pokémon tumors with experimental RNA molecules to make them extremely strong
Anime Team Rocket: "Hey, there's a Pokémon-of-the-episode over there! Let's go get it, even though we utterly fail at every single thing!"
Seriously, I stopped watching that shit because of Team Rocket. Though apparently they get their act together in Unova.
Oh no, you are not alone, although I had thought that I had escaped that show's clutches…Freaking Medabee.
*train runs over vash_ts*
Wow, how did I make this many typos? I must have been sleepy or suffering from caffeine underdose.
When red loses, he passes out and wakes up in the pokemon center, with less money than before…
manga elite four: pokemon extremists, lance wants to destroy humanity…
manga gym leaders: one of them was selling stloen pokemon, blasted ash with thunderbolts and dropped him in the sea…
Anime elite four and gym leaders: Good guys… powerful… did I missed something?
He is the most interesting Trainer in the world.
I have the urge to right a rap now.
Tap dancer. You were close though.
This is EXACTLY WHY I don't really watch the anime…
Positive things about Ash:
Helped save the world countless times from Legendaries.
Died twice .
Has 70+ pokemon at his disposal (30 Tauros?!)
Befriended many legends including GOD(Arceus)
Red beat team rocket. Ash beat Team Magma, Aqua, and Galactic.
All I know about red is that he sat on a mountain and that despite these things, is cooler than Ash. I ask of you: HOW
just saying, Red and some others were also truned to stone as a result from a mewtwo deoxys clash or something like that. idk, I just got into the manga.
not any more you ain't! *-1 epeened*
he alredy did… and met him again… and his doucheiness. * Thats a word right?*
… this just got me wondering… WHERE THE HELL IS RED NOW?!?! HE WOULD OF POSTED SOMETHING BY NOW!!!!!
O rly?
you forgot about being encased in solid ice/stone
Exactly, old chap.
D: HOW DARE YOU KILL VASH THE STAMPEDE! Oh wait, he's invincible!
Well, excuse me, princess! Kiss me.
Actually, you'd have to ask Ash for that since Red actually ages. When the manga started, he was 12. At the current point in the manga, he would be 19 since 7 years have passed within the universe of the manga.
Mah boi! You suffer from the Oak syndrome: can't tell boys and girls apart.
Simple why the Manga was better, 4Kids.TV destroyed the cartoon after the 1st epasode
Red.. since Ash's voice actor is female, and last I checked HE WAS FRICKING 12 STILL!
Red have some of the toughest pokemons in kanto
Ash cannot even evolve a frickin bulbasaur.
It's because he can only remember four life lessons at a time.
xD that is actually scarily accurate!
OMG!! SO TRUE!
rehASHed
ok i get out
red because he needs to find things like food and water to live and finding those would probably be hard to find
ash doesnt need these,he just stand on his lazy ass and watch his pokemons fight for him
Ash -- almost always drawn to model in fan-art
RED -- almost always drawn to look way cooler than he is.
Yes, Ash stinks and probably will NEVER become a Pokemon master. But you know what he DID do?
He defeated an omnicidal genetic experiment, prevented the world from falling into imbalance and being destroyed, befriended the progenitor of the entire pokemon species, traveled in time to meet his mentor as a kid, stopped an alien from being destroyed by a rampaging dragon, prevented an antimatter ghost from invading the mortal realm, learned how to use a power only Pokemon normally can, and helped the purported creator of the Pokemon world change his view on humans. At the very least Ash saw the world -- RED only ran around Kanto before climbing up a mountain and staying there for 3 years.
Red is not this bad-ass Pokemon trainer that destroys villians for a hobby, he's a 10-year-old boy who loves playing with animals and got caught up in a mafia's scheme because he went through Mt. Moon at the wrong time. RED is Ash, but better at training and with less personality.
That’s not Manga Red you bastard, he wears his cap backwards. Why is it that there are people who think “Pokémon Special!” whenever they see a character from the games?
*ahem*
…
Red, uh… doesn't speak in canon?
I lost my voice when they were recording dialogue for the games
!SPOILERS!
Mewtwo -- Darkrai actually.
I think that specific instance was somewhat a homage to the first movie.
That’s NOT Manga Red, you morons. Get your eyes checked, its the GAMES’ Red.
@Vortilex
Touché.
Red is much better because he didn't need help from Gym Leaders!!!LOL!!! plus they suck they couldn't take down team rocket throughout the whole anime series
because you touch yourself at night!!!
who's his mentor? who's the progenitor of the species. what does that even mean? who's the creator of pokemon? what alien did he prevent from being destroyed. who were all those people.
Half of the "important" shit Ash did happened in movies and so it's not part of the actual canon storyline… wait, does the anime even have a storyline? O_O
Every episode is just him walking into some shitty town, meeting some old dude and his son/daughter/grandson/granddaughter, and proceeds to beating up Team Shithead's giant retarded robot.
^ Every fucking episode in a nutshell ^
-.-… Ash = Red….. Red is Ash but in later years, Manga Red = Cartoon Ash its the same person just diffrent names, When you meet up with Red it's Ash but a more mature, stronger and quieter form. Blue = Gary in the game btw as well, get your story's straight before batching/praising the same person, seems kinda bipolar talking smack on the same person while worshiping him it the same time…
……… …………… …………….. ………….
Red is fucking awesome! Also a fun way to troll Pokemon fans is by telling them that Red and Ash are the same person. It really makes them RAGE!
also,didnt red also caught legendary pokémons? i remember him catchin’ articuno with his 6-pack. Ash cant do shit.
Wait wait wait, Red from the game or Red from Pokemon Adventures? Because in the Manga Red takes down Team Rocket with the help of Green and Blue. I am currently reading the manga now and I got to say, the characters are more lovable the action is better and pokemon and people actually die.
Not to mention he also got turned to stone…
Ash: visits to morn dead pokemon
Red: visits to fight dead pokemon
^ obviously did not read the manga and is pulling facts out of ass
ill make this really obvious for ppl to remember
Ash's 1st pokemon: pikachu
Red's 1st pokemon: poliwag
Anyway,gold didn't capture EVERY SINGLE POKEMON. I don't remember him catching Arceus. Anyway,Red in GAME or MANGA can beat ash,So manga red's team:Venusaur,Poliwrath,Aerodactyl,Pikachu,Snorlax,and Espeon. and Game Red's team is Lapras,Charizard,Blastoise,Venusaur,Snorlax,and Pikachu. Where Ash's Best team is Charizard,Pikachu (even though it lost to a LVL 5 SNIVY!),snorlax,Sceptile,infernape,and Heracross. Red would actullay beat Ash.
//your name fits you perfectly, cause you are Lost.
Because half of the "important" things Ash did happened in movies and so it's not part of the actual canon story line.
Also since Red is a player character (R/G/B/Y/FR/LG), he caught ALL pokemon from Gen 1 to Gen 3 (including legendaries), and since Red beat the Elite 4, who has way tougher pokemon than Team Aqua, Magma, and Galactic, beats the PKMN League and has Lvl 100 (since I remember people in youtube having lvl. 100 PKMN on their FR), oh and shiny and pokerus pokemon.
Ash= Never beaten any PKMN LEAGUES nor the Elite 4 and cheats his way to get badges, and needed help to beat Team Magma, Aqua, and Galactic (or else w/o help he would lose), never caught a single legendary.
blablabla.. red is the leader of pokedex holder and also known as a fighter by prof oak..
in manga he always not easy to give up.. for the correction.. red not only spend his time at mt silver.. he also help Gold fight with masked man in JOHTO.. only based on the game he just cannot say anything and sleep and eat at mt silver.. and only in the game GOLD can defeat RED… but… NOT IN MANGA..
ash dont catch no lengendary's but i still like ask cause he catches alot of pokemon
It’s Ash for me.
The way ppl switch from game red to manga is kinda bogus. If so why not switch from Ash in the anime to HIS counterparts aswell? I mean yeah Ash’s character is still 10 he’s only one the orange league and battle frontier. But let’s remember here that’s the creator’s fault. Plus counting the movies (which are canon) Ash is pretty badass in his own right. It’s just the creators don’t have the sense to have any development for him.
No offense to those that prefer Red manga or game, I respect your opinion.
