Talk about a milestone. The original Pokemon anime is finally ending and we're seeing the end of Ash and Team Rocket's journey.

On top of it I'm surprised that The Simpsons has now outlived the original Pokemon series.

(Wait... If Ash exist does that mean he's world champion here?)

Kinda, championship titles are similar to superbowl or annual titles, and I see this one as "he won this season"

So yeah, he won, but that hype has long since passed.

Rai doesnt keep up with the leagues too much, it doesn't quite affect his life, however he does see a lot more kids trying to look for Pikachu, wearing similar hats and outfits and stuff, and it does give him the chance to educate them on their regional electric rodent, and how pikachu aren't super common around Sinnoh, and they should find a partner that fits with them.

But like I said, it's like a superbowl situation. It's hype for a little while and then dies down.

I’m sorry, but are we just going to ignore that fact that Ash had a shiny Pokemon? I know it’s been years, but no one ever talked about it.

Rewatching Season 4 and Talking About Tang to Avoid Losing My Mind Over the Special

Welp, now that I have some free time and I'm finally back home, it's the perfect time for me to obsess over LMK again. That being said, I'm not going to talk about the Chinese release of the special as I'm waiting for the full English release (I've been spoiled on things, but I still haven't seen it).

Instead, I'm going to watch through season 4 again since it's been a while. It’s just a silly little thing I like to do during hiatus and such. Oh, and I really only talk about Tang because he doesn’t get enough love and, well, I have a brand to maintain.

So, let's start with Episode 2 - New Adventures:

~-~

Getting a bit full of yourself there, aren’t ya, glowy boy? Geez, you make an insanely strong power-up sigil that covers half the globe one time, and suddenly, you think you're all that.

...Okay, maybe his overconfidence is a little bit justified. Only a little bit, though, since the last time he was this full of himself was, well… *looks at Dumpling Destruction*

On a side note, it's interesting how Sandy says "newfound powers" since that implies a relatively short timespan between seasons 3 and 4. My guess is around 1-2 months, but I honestly don't know.

At least Tang has Pigsy to bring him down to Earth. Nice to see a bit of their salty/sassy banter back again.

I've mentioned this gif before but Idk I still love it. Mei totally goes full Ash Ketchem and just throws him out there. I asked a while back which Pokemon Tang would be and some people replied with Ninjask, a Cicada inspired Pokemon, which yeah. 10/10, A+ pick.

Oh nooooooo Tang... I love you, but noooooooo *More Dumpling Destruction Flashbacks*

Told ya. Hubris gets you nowhere.

Talk about being in the shadow of your former self, am I right?

I never turned on subtitles for this scene before so I had no idea what ink Tang Sanzang said up until this rewatch. Now that I know what he says, this line is SUPER interesting if you ask me.

This line stands out as it doesn't seem to be feeding directly into his insecurities, as is the case with every other ink creature encounter we see. Instead, it seems like a confirmation of Tang's arc throughout the season. Tang can't use his powers here because he has more to learn, both with his powers and as a character, and this is the writers deliberately saying as much. Yeah, Tang's journey isn't complete, and the audience, and perhaps, Tang himself, knows it.

Yeah, I'm cheating here since it doesn't really have Tang in it, but it doesn't matter because it's still Tang's glasses -plus this is just a darn good shot. It's so quick, but it does a great job of establishing a feeling of dread and tension in this scene. It definitely got me the first time I saw it. It's on-screen for only a second, but damn if it isn't effective.

~-~

Not a ton of Tang in this episode, but that's okay because it still does a TON of legwork in setting the foundation for his character arc this season.

To be honest, I didn't mean to mention Dumpling Destruction that much in this post but that's really what came to mind the first time I saw this episode. And honestly? I think that was completely intentional on the writers' part.

Tang was horrendously overconfident and, one could argue, arrogant in Dumpling Destruction. He was undeniably annoying at times (to put it in the kindest way possible) and even I, who absolutely adores his character, has a hard time watching Dumpling Destruction because of that. I get a similar feeling watching Tang in this episode, but that isn't a bad thing this time.

Despite my dislike of Tang's arrogance and his (often) unfounded overconfidence, I'm glad it came back in full force this episode. After season 3, I was a little worried that was all we'd get for Tang's character development. We saw almost none of his arrogance in season 3, which, along with the exploration of his insecurities, made it seem that they just wanted to ignore those character flaws tat were more prevalent in earlier episodes. It seems silly in hindsight, as it's clear that season 3 merely kickstarted his arc and wasn't a completion of it.

This episode was precisely what Tang needed for his character development. Despite expanding his character in season 3, his character flaws are still very much there at the start of season 4. He has yet to overcome his flaws and shortcomings at this point in the show, but without a reason to change, he never will. So how do you develop a character rife with overconfident and occasionally arrogant tendencies? Humble the hell out of them, of course. Unfortunately, he needed to be brought down to Earth before he could build himself back up, and that's just what the writers did in this episode.

~-~

Ha! Didn't expect a rant at the end of this, did ya? Yeah, neither did I. Sorry about that.

I'll do the rest of the season soon, especially with how Tang-heavy the next couple episodes are.

I feel at this rate newt should become part ghost type due to how often she keeps dying and coming back XD

no she's just becoming the new ash ketchem

[mlarayoukai]

ash ketchem is literally 10 years old so maybe you should not say that.

Dude if that's his daughter I don't think he's 10 years old anymore........... Are you saying they still kept him 10 when he became a father?

Peach wanted to name her Jalapeno- it was vetoed by Indigo and Ash super fast XD

Indigo League Episode 2

Not as iconic as episode 1 obviously but this is a good episode too, Team Rocket gets their first appearance ( and their first blast off), we meet the first two Nurse Joy and Officer Jennys, Misty joins the gang, and Ash and Pikachu take their first architectural victim.

I love the pokemon centers in early pokani, I can't remember if they continue having cool unique designs like this one. I hope so and I guess we'll discover that as we go.

This Pidgey coocoo clock has an interesting color, I thought at first it was a shiny but upon looking it up shiny Pidgey are yellow not this greenish blue.

Man, I forgot how mean people can be in early Pokemon. Like, roll it back a bit Mrs Ketchem.

Professor Oak too! It’s not even been a day since he started on his journey, let him work up to being a cool trainer.

He’s gonna meet so many legendary pokemon that nobody/hardly anybody have met, you don’t even know Professor Oak.

Pikachu vaporized this building, the fact that there's anything still standing after this is pretty ridiculous.

The battle at the end of this episode is so funny because pikachus practically come out of the woodwork to help Pikachu. I get that this pokemon center has a lot because they use them for backup power but it still seems like an excessive amount of pikachus.

Next episode, will Ash catch a new pokemon?!?

In the papa ingo au (amazing au btw) a little bit before the exile happens ash ketchem pops up and everyone just from hisuie just thinks he's like the other protagonist until he throws a whole tree (which is cannon) at some point and the other kids from the movie/tv show verse reveals that this kid has been on the news for fighting villians, legendary pokemon and other crazy stuff. At some point they find out he's died like multiple times (ya know for a little angst) and ingo wonders what kind of kid he's picked up. When exile happens they have to stop ash from trying to punch kamado (he tried to punch mewtwo he'd try and fight an adult no hesitation). Can you tell I love ash and the chaos he brings lol?

Seeing as how Ash finally showed up in a Pokémon game recently with Pokémon Masters, it could happen! He’s really done so much at this point that he can’t be compared to anyone else in the Pokémon world.

Kamado exiling ash would be like an ant telling an anteater they aren’t welcome. Ash is so strong and so experienced at this point (and he’s still 10??) that he could do whatever he wants. Everyone is lucky Ash has morals haha
