Indigo League Episode 20

It's ghost time! This is another episode not focused on Ash, with Brock being the central character of this episode (with a side of James). Ghosts are fun in pokemon because usually they're pokemon, sometimes they're humans, and sometimes they're pokemon who are dead humans. This episode we get the first two examples, and it's a fun episode! Not my favorite, but not bad at all.

Poor Brock is despairing over his total lack of rizz, having made no romantic connection over the summer at all. I love it when the show talks about the passage of time considering Ash's total lack of aging in the next twenty plus years.

Meowth is not thrilled about being surrounded by all this water. I love it when he does cat stuff.

Misty is impressively strong to be pulling both of the boys no problem.

I love this bit where James is half hanging over this fence and then Jesse drops him when she gets distracted by planning some crime. James's scream from his Japanese voice actor is great.

The pokemon center here has an eleven o'clock curfew at which point these metal gates come down over the doors. Seems mildly alarming and something we have never seen at any other pokemon centers. Very strange.

Get ghost attacked readers!!!

We get it James, you're pretty.

Poor Jesse. She's part of a set, don't separate them.

For some reason Brock is giving Johnny Bravo vibes here to me.

Look how cute Pikachu's little celebration is here!

They say "However" twice in a row here and I now know that Tadashi from Big Hero 6 is named However.

Love it when Pikachu does something small and silly. He's just so cute.

I love Jesse lecturing a ghost on how to act right around guys.

Gas Mask. Need I say more.

Pokeani was doing pokemon fusions before it was cool.

Look how scared they are! Poor dears.

Ooo, the New Testament is in pokeani too. I don't think the writers thought of the implications though.

Team Rocket is playing end song 4 here at the festival long before it's used as an end song for the show.

These are some interesting memorial candles. I don't recognize the top two pokemon, and who is mourning the currently completely extinct pokemon Omanyte? Very strange.

I wonder who Ash is remembering here, we don't get any closer to his lantern so I guess we'll never know.

And here we have a fourth option for ghosts in Pokemon, Pokemon pretending to be human ghosts.

Misty is so cute here! I love her little ponytail she normally has but it's nice to switch things up every now and then.

I didn't notice this the first time (I usually watch these two times for my inital thoughts and then anything I missed the second time) but the pink spots on Misty's kimono are Goldeen outlines!

Like I said I like this episode, but I think the end is my favorite part of it , look how cute they are dancing together in their kimonos! Brock is too busy being emo to go dancing right now though.

Next episode on Monday, get ready to cry over Butterfree! (Though we've really not seen a whole lot of him.)

hey pokeani fans, how are we feeling about journeys? considering the fact that it’s been out for a year i feel like we all have our own individual thoughts on it :]

here's my thoughts

Honestly? I don’t even know anymore. I love Pokemon, and the anime even more! I really do. I’ve been a constant fan ever since 2013 and though I hold my own gripes against the xy/xyz series i still had a fantastic time. it was my first series that I actually got to watch the premiere all the way to the end. then sun and moon came along, and I know that I did drop off the anime for a little bit but now a days that series is my absolute favorite! during the sun/moon era I even watched all the episodes of the anime. and I had a fantastic time. But now? I’m just... uncertain. journeys is obviously taking it’s own step [with sun/moon having started the ‘it’s own path’ ordeal] but even then when you think of sun/moon it still had the qualifications of the normal standard. while he [ash] may not have been exploring a region for 8 badges, he still explored the islands AND made his own goal to defeat each grand trail. the reason sun/moon worked so well is that it was mainly located in ONE spot, which was Melemele island AND characters who were just cotds would constantly come back! it also worked well since we actually got to know the Pokémon and their trainers. which many doubted as there was over 6 main characters. we grew to love the alolan gang and you KNOW that many many people love those characters of sun/moon as the majority was insanely excited to have seen them in the journey’s intro + their episode. journey’s pacing just feels... off. I get they’re trying something new with the idea of going to each region but it feels like some episodes are just.. left to unimportance. (tokio, darkest day, rose, hell even suicune) the pacing would’ve been fantastic if it had been perhaps a few arcs per region then repeat.. or one arc per region. but instead we keep going all over the place and half the time it isn’t even research that they’re suppose to do for the professor. (i guess some could argue this is johto but you could argue that alola was pure filler, as well as the decolore islands. so uhh... uncertain) and I KNOW I shouldn’t be tilted over the focus being on gou.. but after 20 years of having the same main protagonist (and even then the focus on the companions was shared!) it just.... doesn’t feel right? our first protagonist (ash) is a battle focused trainer, having the shift over to a capture focused trainer is just... rough. you know how many people feel about Gou. People value the love and care of each Pokémon, that’s why we love certain Pokémon that Ash has. but with Gou... some are just left in the garden never to be seen again or used as gags. then there’s team rocket. the gacha machine just hurts, the TRio cannot catch their own Pokémon and they haven’t had much focus this entire season :( I’m a story loving person, that’s why I love when we have certain arcs or big climatic battles. But, Journeys is doing it’s own thing! I’ll give it that, and congrats to them for trying new things but story is fun! But I’m sure many people enjoy the comical tone that Journeys have, and hey! The anime gained more popularity due to having two protagonists right now. Oh and Koharu? I don’t even know with her anymore. First I just thought of her as the obligatory girl character and she’s just on her own path. But many a times she just seems like... not much? She’s getting her own episodes, but after 40 episodes [when majority of the seasons are 100-120 based] that’s rough! Overall, Journeys has indeed lost my interest. I’ll still catch up and be a Pokemon fan no matter what... but I wanna hear what other fans have to say :]

You know, I realize I’ve been away from this blog for so long that I should probably give a life update?? If you’re curious about what my life has been like for the past 3 years, read on haha

I’ll just bullet point them...

Last I was really here on a personal level I lost my 15 year old cousin. I don’t really wanna get into the details of it since I’ve discussed it in the past. But it was a horrible accident that resulted in a HUGE and very tiring law suit that my family fortunately won. It’s an event that really changed the course of my life and my outlook on pretty much everything. It’s something I think about daily.

I graduated from college!! It took me 7 years to do it and nearly flunking out, but I did it and I’ve never been prouder of myself! >w< I have a degree in English and I couldn’t be happier! My graduation day was the proudest moment of my life!!

I work as an editor for an online magazine and it’s actually the worst thing ever lol I don’t wanna get too public about it, but I’ve been working there for 2 years now and my boss is literally the scum of the earth. I’ve been through probably 10 different rotations of coworkers and none of the people who were there when I started work there anymore lol The longest I’ve had a coworker for is 7 months. But hey, it’s a job, right?

I don’t speak to my mother anymore. Again, won’t get into too much detail, but we had a violent incident involving her take place a year and a half ago. The cops needed to be called and my sister and I were basically told we’re allowed to have a restraining order if we want (we chose not to because legal matters are... complicated). She’s SEVERELY mentally ill and being around her was doing more harm than good. We’ve tried to sort it out in therapy many times over, but she won’t give. A very recent incident involving her blowing up on Facebook has left us cut off from her entirely, pretty much.

I have my own apartment and I live with my two best friends! :D One of whom is my childhood best friend @kasuria and the other is my other best friend who I actually met here on Tumblr years ago @noodlerama! I’m so happy living with them. Getting to see them every day of my life is like a dream come true T AT Some people move in with their romantic S/Os, well I’ve got my best friend S/Os and I couldn’t ask for anything more!

My puppy Molly unfortunately passed away suddenly last June due to health complications :( She was 12 years old, which is a good age, but man I miss her so much. My mother didn’t even have the decency to tell my sisters and I that she was sick. We got the text 15 minutes before she died that she wasn’t doing well, so we didn’t get the chance to say goodbye and my mom buried her before we could come over so that we couldn’t see her. It’s something I’m still grappling with. Losing her was very hard on me and I miss her CONSTANTLY. I don’t think I’ll ever really be able to “move on” fully until I have a dog of my own. I just miss her so much.

But, on a happier note, Kelly, Dimitri, and I got a kitten last year! ; ^; She’s a black and white short hair named Mochi! She’s a little ball of energy who I adore to death. I’ve never had a cat before and never considered myself to be a cat person, but I just love her so much. She’s perfect in every way. She’s super friendly and affectionate. I just really love animals. I’m actually on a breeder’s list to get an Akita (Japanese) eventually, but I want to be a little more steady financially before I fully invest. Maybe next year?

I’ve picked up drawing again! I used to draw all the time, but lost confidence in high school and stopped. But then I decided... why not try again? And I’m really happy I did! It’s been so much fun and I’m learning all the time! I finally get to draw my OCs for real ; ^; I’m also still writing avidly! Especially lately! I’m pretty close to finishing the next PDTL chapter... I just have to... do it lol

Fandom-wise, you can probably tell I’m VERY into Little Witch Academia at the moment. I watched the show when it aired, but my love for it was reignited recently for no real reason lol I just adore Akko Kagari with all my heart... BUT Pokemon will always be my forever girl. I love Pokeani so much and have been watching the new series every week! I love Goh and Ash ;A; They’re such good boys! And I’m still super into Love Live! I actually got to see Aqours perform in LA a few years ago, and also got to see Guilty Kiss with all of my friends in NYC this past fall! It was so much fuuunnnn.

My OCs are still my life. Kelly and I have been working super hard on updating profiles and stuff. I don’t think I’ll ever tire of these kiddos. If you haven’t seen our pokeani OCs, please check out our blog @pkmn-downtheline!

Like everyone else I am... in quarantine right now and... dealing lol It’s not great, but I’m sort of an introvert by nature anyways, so it could be worse, I guess? I miss going out, seeing my friends, conventions, and everything, though... It sucks and I want this to be over. But I understand we gotta do this till COVID passes. But uugghhh I’m tired lol

That’s basically it! My life has had a LOT of crazy ups and downs over the past few years, but I’m still pushing through and moving forward. I just wanna take things one day at a time. But I’m here more once again and it’s been nice! Tumblr really is a good platform, even if it is a little broken lol

Earlier today my sister sat down to watch the Wallace Cup with me, which is our mutual favorite arc in the entire show (she loves Dawn and DP a lot). We continued later on last night and even got my mom to join in since she wanted to spend time with me and said we could watch whatever I wanted! Stuff like this is so important to me and all the birthday messages I’ve received today make me feel so loved.

Sidenote- because watching Pokemon is often a reminder of this- but I’m so glad I can finally enjoy Pokeani stuff again without associating it with bad, triggering situations and toxic people who no longer matter in my life. I was struggling for such a long time, literally feeling sick to my stomach about certain things that have happened, and even though some of it lingers on to this day, I’m so happy and grateful to have friends who support me as a person and my creative endeavors, including the new Pokeani rivals-centric podcast I’ve been running over the last few weeks! It’s been incredibly fun and we’ve had some awesome discussions. I feel like I’ve grown and opened up a lot more and feel much freer in giving my opinions on things, even if I haven’t played all the games and gotten through the entire series yet. It’s all supposed to be for fun, and I’m beginning to re-experience everything in a new light. It brings me so much joy and freedom. I love Pokémon with my whole heart.

Speaking of the podcast- I would link my Twitch account here, but I’m not quite ready yet for the Public to associate this longstanding username with my new one (I’ve got a lot of cleaning and deleting to do lol). I also realize if I want to build a bigger following, I’m going to need a Twitter account again, but that’ll come in time, when I’ve officially healed from the wounds of several awful past experiences. I think I’ve already come a long way, and I’m striving to just accept things and keep moving forward. ❤️

My birthday was actually pretty fun despite it being spent in quarantine! We got takeout from PF Chang’s, my mom gave me a mani-pedi, I FaceTimed my grandparents and one of my best friends, and my sister made chocolate lava cake for dessert (the real cake is coming tomorrow for a Specific Reason 😏). Two years ago I was sick, had work, and it snowed on my birthday, and last year just sucked all-around I don’t even remember the actual day because I was a half-asleep zombie lol. So compared to those two, this was actually pretty great.

Not everything is 100% hunky dory, but I’m pushing through it. It’s obviously a pretty miserable time for everyone and my heart still goes out to all those affected by the virus and people on the front lines who are so burnt out from back-to-back shifts. I wish I could do something to help, but I’ll continue to pray for the world to heal. I’ve felt a little guilty harping on my own issues in the state that the world is in, but then again, it’s not right to compare problems either. School is still stressing me out and I have a big project coming up in a few weeks that I haven’t started yet. I really miss my job at the mall and all my coworkers. It hasn’t been the easiest living with my entire family living back here again, but I’m also not the easiest person to live with, either. And to top it all off, everything I was excited about this time of year has been canceled. A week from today, I would’ve been sharing an Airbnb and getting drunk off frozen margaritas with my best friends, cosplaying our favorite characters at Anime Boston and celebrating my belated birthday with them. It really sucks, but I guess it is what it is, and it’s more important to stay safe and healthy. At least AB’s honored our tickets for next year!

One of the upsides of all this, though, is connecting with people I haven’t in awhile! My high school friends all kinda came out of the woodwork and we’ve been video-chatting a lot and playing Jackbox games, and thanks to the Animal Crossing boom, I’ve added a heck ton of people both IRL and online and have been visiting everyone’s islands, which has been a great fun distraction. The Neoshipping Discord has been abuzz with so much great content and discussions, and I’m so happy it’s thriving especially with some recent newcomers! I started an idol duo with one of my best friends and even though we’re still starting out, it’s been so much fun coming up with cover and cosplay ideas with her! I’ve also been keeping up with PM2019 and am aiming to watch at least one new anime before this quarantine ends. I also desperately need to catch up with a bunch of other anime and the MHA manga rip ;_;

A quarter of my life gone by, and it’s been a wild ride! There’s a lot more for me to learn, and there’s still things I haven’t been able to accept yet, but I think I’ve grown a lot, physically, mentally and emotionally. I am capable, smart, strong and beautiful- and I have to keep remembering that despite all odds and all negative thoughts that come my way! You all are all of these things too, and I believe in you! Thank you to everyone who’s read this far as well as those who have sent me so much love today. Cheers to 25 and may the next quarter be filled with brand-new adventures! 💙🌀🎉

#Poli's Whirld #kind of a long life update #i mean i know it's dead here but because of that it's a pretty good outlet to vent #birthdays make you think about a lot of things!#they're bittersweet =D
