Holy fucking shit tits, /vp/. I decided to watch some cartoons on my day off, and while channel surfing I came across Rival Destinies, more specifically the episode where Ash battles Roxie. WHY is he so fucking stupid, though? Yeah, he won, but why not Volt Tackle instead of Quick Attack? Garbodor was holding Pikachu in the air for a bit, literally holding it in the air, and he didn't have Pikachu use Thunder. Why? The fuck.>TLDR Ash is a dumb fuck, do you think that he'll be smarter in the X and Y series since he appears to be ageing, or do you think we'll get another reset?

You know the show is intended for little kids and not you, right?

IIRC, Pikachu forgot Volt Tackle in order to learn Electro Ball

>>14101640 Pikachu's current moveset is as follows:
-Quick Attack
-Thunderbolt
-Iron Tail
-Electro Ball
He no longer can use Thunder or Volt Tackle.

It's just like in the beginning of Victini's movie in which he constantly orders Tepig to use ember on a resistant pokémon

>>14101728 It sucks, sure. I feel like they gave him Electro Ball just to have ball battles against Lucario, and that's it. And that would be fine if they replaced Thunderbolt instead. But not having thunderbolt would be like not having a hat on Ash, it's just weird.

>>14101776 >>14101815 Kids grow up and out of pokemon, then the next generation of kids comes along and grows out of it and it repeats every generation... except /vp/ never seemed to grow out of it I guess so what does that make us then?

>>14101937 I don't know but it has nothing to do with the anime. I couldn't stand it when I was 9 and I still can't now.

>>14102641 I liked the anime, but the predictability of it was what made me start to hate it. When Team Rocket would start doing they're shit, I would just turn the TV off.
