Pokemon Discussion Thread - Red & Blue arc

As if Pikachu didnt KO an Onix with a Thunderbolt.
1, gen 1 anime stupidity. People had guns, Misty tried to protect herself against a Ghastly with a cross. Nobody knew where the anime was heading and inconsistencies were made.

2, Pikachu broke a sprinkler, making a pseudo Soak and thunderbolted Onix then.

You realise you're just saying "Oh thats never happened, but when it has happened its a mistake so yeah!". Anything but admitting the Anime just doesnt follow the Game logic
Touche, I provide you proof and you handwave it as references, only to bring in "proof" that could be disproved by quite literally paying attention to the media you are consuming.
 
As long as people dont use Brock's Happiny as a serious scaling point tbh, like i swear some Species final-evo pages are saying 'Should be superior to Brock's Happiny' just for being fully evolved?

Whats the best formatted page for a Standard Pokemon Species page (thats not legendary/mythical)?

Its not proof that the anime and Games take place in the same canon whatsoever, because theres 1000 other things that prove its not the same.

Do you genuinely think you can obtain Ash's real Pikachu in the game?

not specifically the one we see in the anime but definitely a parallel version of it.

I mean yeah that is wrong, I just really don't want to have to deal with half a dozen people ignoring context and evidence for bigger number that if I remove will likely be added back under my notice a month later.

Does this 'parallel' version of it operate in the same way as the anime?
Cause if not, its literally just a Pikachu in a hat that the game included for reasons other than trying to say 'the games and anime are canon'.

I feel discussions like this also dont acknowledge intent either. Do you genuinely think the writers of the anime and the games think they follow the same quota 1:1

It would if the game was turned into an anime lol

Buddy, I don't think they follow any quota at all. Inconsistencies ravage the games and the anime. Games have underleveled evolved Pokemon, Anime can have a move look 2 different ways in the same arc. There is no consistency in Pokemon so trying to find the same between them would be pointless.

'if' but it wasnt.

You got Pokemon Generations and similar stuff, thats about it. Otherwise Ash's series or even Horizons follow their own strand.

Doesnt mean we mix the anime and games then? Games having a Level 45 Hydreigon or w/e doesnt mean its valid to overlook how the anime functions differently
 
'if' but it wasnt.
Because it's a game dawg, don't be stupid. The game literally has special animations on YT that show some of the events from a different angle, the Pokemon fight quite literally the same way as in the anime.

Because it's the difference between game restrictions and anime dawg, I don't understand how this is so hard for you to comperhend. Shit, the games aren't even consistent with themselves, Z-A literally just deleted PP.
Doesnt mean we mix the anime and games then?
We can as long as we account for things that don't work together.
Games having a Level 45 Hydreigon or w/e doesnt mean its valid to overlook how the anime functions differently
Except it doesn't function differently, it just functions outside of the game box. If you think that the game canon is that when you battle a box with the fight option appears near you then there's genuienly something wrong with you.

They dont no? Just because theyre both animated fight scenes doesnt mean they take place in the same canon lol

Doesnt mean we should mix and composite. That...literally has 0 correlation

Obviously not what im saying?

I am referring to the Canon, not the Game Mechanics. The Game and the Anime are separate canons, proven by context of story itself.
 

GALBRENA VS ZYGARDE AURA BATTLE
 
They dont no? Just because theyre both animated fight scenes doesnt mean they take place in the same canon lol
Never said that, I'm saying they work generally the same, not accounting for PP and such and even using the enviroment to enhance their power.
Doesnt mean we should mix and composite. That...literally has 0 correlation
Doesn't mean we cannot when they're parallel universes, the parallel universes only being different in specific instances.
Obviously not what im saying?
Then speak clearer
I am referring to the Canon, not the Game Mechanics. The Game and the Anime are separate canons, proven by context of story itself.
The stories are different, but there is no canon of which you speak of. Diamond and Platinum are both canon games. Red and Yellow are both canon games. Major events can happen and change in the stories and that's just the ones we see. Post-Guzzlord Alola is a canon timeline, Kartana grove exists in a canon timeline. They have different major events but that doesn't make them any less canon. Same should be said about anime, which clearly is connected with the games.
 
...Every anime fight technically 'works the same' if you're just talking about two entities fighting in an animated medium, but that doesnt mean the anime and game canons are comparable.

Parallel universes, separate canons, we treat them differently. Goes the same for every verse pretty much, other than Pokemon for some reason. The Games and Anime do not operate together so we shouldnt be mixing them.

Im not speaking clearer over you making an obvious exaggerated strawman comment lol

Except those examples you mention are all in the actual GAMES, and are explicit in being parallel but in the same medium. The Anime is separate canon and a separate take. You cant scale the power of Pokemon in the games by their feats exclusively in the anime genuinely. At least if you want to be tidy about powerscaling and not force composites.
 
...Every anime fight technically 'works the same' if you're just talking about two entities fighting in an animated medium, but that doesnt mean the anime and game canons are comparable.
So far you've brought up one 'inconsistent' instance that, as it turned out, wasn't even inconsistent.

Repeating the same thing over and over again doesn't make you more right. If Ash exists within the canon, and he does, your denial is not based on facts but on your own opinion, then the canons can overlap. They can operate together and we can mix them as long as we're careful.

Except they're not composites, all wild Pokemon past the inconsistent gen 1 have pretty much the same pokedex entries as the games, meaning the animals researched by the in-game scientists are not different despite being in parallel worlds. Again, Ash exists in the games. We are seeing the game timelines but nothing says that within the infinite amount of universes there can't be an infinite amount of Ash-centric universes.

Anywasy I'm getting sleepy and bored. I'll go do something productive.
 
Think Marvel vs. Capcom exists somewhere within the Comics Marvel Multiverse too, Ig Daredevil is High 5-A.
If a character from MvC appeared in the canon comics and specifically referred to events from MvC then that'd be a different story. This is what happened to Ash here, who isn't even the only anime character who exists in the game.
 
So far you've brought up one 'inconsistent' instance that, as it turned out, wasn't even inconsistent.
Well yeah im not gonna write an entire list of everything the anime does that you cant in the games, and every time the general logic fails.

Ash doesn't exist in the games beyond references. Which, fun references dont cut it. Even if he was, he;d be a different variant that never achieved the same feats as Ash did (since he player did)

Good cause they shouldnt be to begin with. The anime can maybe give some separate context but if we use the games for the profiles, then we stick to those. Anime profiles for individuals can get separate ones.
 
and every time the general logic fails.
Nobody cares about inconsistencies that happen because of a writing error. If you bring evidence then it better be rock solid.
Ash doesn't exist in the games beyond references.
His Pokemon exist, Ash-Greninja exists, which requires Ash to be present in that world. Also, the Alain mention was not even an event thing, it just happened because the writers wanted to. These aren't just fun references, these are things that exist within the game world, stop pretending they aren't
Even if he was, he;d be a different variant that never achieved the same feats as Ash did (since he player did)
So he'd be a parallel Ash, like in the anime episodes where we also meet a parallel Ash
Good cause they shouldnt be to begin with. The anime can maybe give some separate context but if we use the games for the profiles, then we stick to those. Anime profiles for individuals can get separate ones.
And I think that's counterproductive and lame. Gamefreak gives us a proper visualization of how things would play out without game mechanics and you're going "nah, we don't care bout that".
 
you're really chalking down how the anime operates to the games to 'writing error'?

This canon split never really got debunked did it
 
you're really chalking down how the anime operates to the games to 'writing error'?
Things like "ground type Furret" that got stated that one time for whatever reason is a writing error. If you have examples not like that then please, do share them.

I was more along the lines of...the anime follows a completely separate character and journey than the games mainly?

How do i get thunder armor on my Swellow in game?
 
Again, doesn't really matter in the multiversal scale
It...does

Just because these stories exist in the same multiverse (franchise of Pokemon) doesnt mean they're comparable. This wiki literally makes separate profiles for all that.

And since we have evidence of parallel universes not having much difference between each other in terms of power and abilities, yet again, it doesn't matter. Good night.
 
We really dont...this just feels like a convenient excuse to merge Games and Anime feats together and composite. They're completely separate canons
 
Literal antithesis. People need to get out of the mentality that CRTs arent unnecessarily long in themself so they might as well be for something relevant, especially for this verse when it comes to something so minor as changing the justification (and not the actual stat).

Btw, another page such as Wishiwashi also scales to Pinsir, so theres some already accepted established scaling.
Changing stats, no matter how minor, without a prior content revision thread is against the rules.
Question: Do you know which thread it was? I looked for it in the past, but I couldn't find it.

I would like to be able to read that blog in due course.
I can't be bothered to look at it for now but search for the canon split debunk blog in the search bar, you'll find it at some point. Don't exactly remember who made it but it might've been Bobsican.

This is the thread.
Im aware. I dont know what was said or what arguments were made but there is 0 way that the idea of separating the games and anime is 'debunked'. Like, what so ever. Its very common logic from even stuff as simple as errrr, Swellow's thunder armor, that the Games work differently, and the fact the story actually follows Ash in the anime in place of any protagonists.
Ok wait, back up, how can you know that there is "0 way" that the canon split was debunked if you don't even know the arguments for it?


Here's the thread if you want to see the reasons for it being accepted.
 

This is the thread.
I mean, I'd already found it, but thanks:
I think I found it. I'm posting it here so I can come back without having to save it, and so Jinx666 can take a look if he wants, since he seems to be the one most against the current standards of verse.
 
Ok wait, back up, how can you know that there is "0 way" that the canon split was debunked if you don't even know the arguments for it?
Because its silly in general to claim that the statement. 'debunked' (suggesting its nonsensical and perfectly proven that the games and anime taken place in the same canon).
Only conceited people think their subjective takes are law.

Obviously whats been gathered is every little tidbit and reference to the anime under the sun, compiling them, then completely ignoring the fact that they take place in different continuities. Meanwhile people go 'oh thats just writing mistakes' to the plentiful amount of differences in how the anime works and operates.

This aligns with what literally every other verse does on this wiki when it comes to characters being from separate continuities (even if it takes place in the same 'multiverse')
 
Catching up, and not to drag it back out because its seemingly unpopular for GO to be 'canon', but what trailer deconfirmed this? I don't think it was linked and looking around I can't find a recent trailer deconfirming it.

Meanwhile I did remember the Scarlet and Violet Gimmighoul trailer, Willow and Jacq are in contact doing research on Gimmighoul, its forms, and Willow even makes mention of sending a gift and allusions to how long the two have known each other.

I get not liking GO for what it is in the canon, a mobile game tie in, but it seems like it's connection and transfering to the mainline games is justified, if not the same universe, at least universes that are canonically in contact and the professors are treating the pokemon as compareable for their pokedexes?

Ok, but aren't you being pretty conceited yourself for entirely dismissing the arguments before even looking at them?

Ultimately, I don't really care if you think it's silly, it's the current established way Pokémon's canon is treated on this website. You make it very clear that you disagree, and that's fine, but only making a content revision thread to change what is and isn't canon for Pokémon will change that policy.

Its weird in itself to pretend our world and whatever happens in Go is canon to it, but the latest Pokemon Champions trailer made a separation of the 'main Pokemon RPG series' and 'Pokemon Go'. I dont think we needed proof in general, but the verse is seriously using a Pokemon Go thing for its main speed feat. (The Gimmighoul stuff is weird cause like, in-lore Gimmighoul can just be separate from its chest? It actually exists in the game, you wouldnt be reliant on Pokemon Go canonically for someone to obtain one)

Pokemon Go gets all of this attention because of the huge player count and stocks investing more and more general Pokemon players. Lets Go games were a testament to this, but it obviously isn't done to try and make a coherent canon.
Ergo trying to use a calc of a Golem 'dodging a solar beam' through default player controlled animations and sketchy model sizing, and then trying to use this to justify FTL on average Pokemon across all mediums is awful, and just goes to show the compositing doesnt work.
Ok, but aren't you being pretty conceited yourself for entirely dismissing the arguments before even looking at them?
Yeah because i can tell theres an agenda on one hand, and its trying to be considered composite over general referencing and meta-stuff like 'Mystery Gifts' over the clear and blatant fact that the Anime, Games and Manga are separate continuities. Flat out.

Theres bound to always be inconsistency in franchises as big as this, but people are taking every little hint and reference and trying to decide thats enough to make them comparable. The Ash-Greninja you obtain in the games is NOT the one from the anime, for example. The quality suffers.

Just because the verse is a big multiverse, when literally every other verse on this wiki doesnt composite, doesnt mean we can just composite stuff. Its not like the similarities between games and anime are even hard to identify.
Separating Anime and Game continuity would only be a start too.

Ultimately, I don't really care if you think it's silly, it's the current established way Pokémon's canon is treated on this website. You make it very clear that you disagree, and that's fine, but only making a content revision thread to change what is and isn't canon for Pokémon will change that policy.
There is genuinely no point. I could write for years and years and go over every single anime game consistency (I have a life), but it'll never pass because people desperately want to keep this compositing. Thats why i hate when people go 'lol make a CRT' like thats not a massive waste of effort and entirely dependent no matter the quality (it gets weaponised). Already got a CRT too btw but because its reliant on staff votes only, nothing gets done.

If i would attempt to do that, i'd need to garner and gather actual public opinion (like asking in this thread and knowing all the surrounding arguments). I'm not tasking myself alone with this chore, and no one else is bothered enough to fix it. Hopefully trimming the fat of the verse (deleting outdated pages) will make the task less daunting. All i can do is suggest and find out why people are so fixated on keeping the verse messy

Especially when its only this website taking this approach, and Pokemon on this wiki is massively outdated in all categories. The wiki should be dedicated to as objective scaling as possible as opposed to making the headcanons that we can say the anime and games all scale to one another in general.

I read that doc for whatever was most relevant too (you are NOT expecting me to write 22 pages worth of responses. This is overcomplicating) and just like i've seen its only abusing worded stuff from Masuda (who has no idea about powerscaling or what it entails.) and making silly conclusions about the fact we must treat separate continuities as composite because Pokemon is a 'setting'?
Masuda does NOT say all of this for the sake of trying to actually make them exist as one, If they were 'parallel worlds' then they should still be separate regardless.

Like yeah its a setting, its all one big Verse? Does NOT mean the anime and the games work the same, dont actively contradict one another, and ergo every game thats 'doesnt contribute to lore' should be composited into one. Especially when most profiles are for species.

Literally just an excuse to have it all on one big page before it was acceptable to split profiles by continuity. Characters in-game and Characters in Anime (For example, Cynthia and N) are different to one another. Using feats from anime to try and set a basis for games if they dont appear, is also just something that should be separate. Heck, even the majority of legendaries have different roles and appearances in the story (and there are multiples of).

I think I heavily disagree on separating it on this reasoning. I watched the trailer for Champions and literally all they say is that you can bring pokemon to Champions "From games in the Pokemon RPG series AND the Pokemon GO app", the word 'main' didn't come up at all and its one statement, which isn't a strong reason to suddenly claim the connections they've made are suddenly invalid, that doesn't seem to really say much, and even still shows that they consider connectivity to GO important.

And your counterpoint on the Gimmieghoul thing doesn't make a lot of sense either. Their conversation was that the people of Paldea struggle to catch Gimmieghouls outside of their chest, and that they have a tendency to run and flee, while over in GO Willow's been able to research them where Jacq hasn't been able to. Yeah its a gimmick between games, but the forms DO have statistical differences that the characters, who again are in universe professors doing research together, are interacting and coming to conclusions about this pokemon's canon behavior, and send data and gifts to and from one another.

Do you have problems with how the calc is made and used and applied? That's fine, that's an entirely different avenue of debate, and you can raise objections about the models and animations and if they're valid to use for pixel scaling or have contradictions. But I don't think anything there is enough to say GO isn't in a very weird way still canon, though it does seemingly make the most sense that its a different universe, but a universe that can still do transfers and communicate with mainline game universes...As much as GO's a sloppy addition to the series 'canon' wise, the characters are still interacting between the mediums, and a narrator simply calling the application an 'app' doesn't seem like good grounds to disregard it.

I'm going to disagree with considering GO non-canon or not connected in the greater cosmology to the games, however how to use anything from GO is a different discussion entirely.
 
I think I heavily disagree on separating it on this reasoni-
Good thing I wasn't trying to say this once instance was debunking absolutely everything?
Just an example that they treat it differently to the mainline even more so.

You can catch Gimmighoul outside of the chest in-lore. It was literally just a way to engage Pokemon Go players with main product. Thats it. And they're saying the Gimmighoul in Paldea just mainly stick to chests (the ones that dont give you a coin and disappear)

Theres a huge fundamental problem with the calc of using a Golem, default animations, player-controlled real-time movement and wonky 3d model scalings. And a huge contextual issue in using that feat itself. Its just plain dumb and everywhere outside of this wiki clowns on it.
I never said anything about it being called an App either, it just shouldnt be regarded in main canon if we're genuinely serious.

Using Go for any main-scaling aside from supplementary is just the wrong way to go about things completely.
 
My problem is that the argument feels like it boils down to "Its obviously not canon because it is"

Yeah they made that gimmick to engage Pokemon GO players...but that doesn't change how they implemented it. It was implemented with canon characters having an interaction to discuss their research on the pokemon. That's my point. It doesn't matter that it was done to drive engagement and was likely a company mandate, it was presented to us through the characters and world of the setting. And while that exists, I don't think the pokemon company listing GO as a differant type of game is enough to disregard that they made a conscious decision to present its connectivity through the setting rather than it just being an option in HOME and it stopping there.

I'm not arguing its good canon, I'm not arguing its well thought out canon, I'm not arguing that its canon I even like.

And, I'm not arguing the feat is valid, I feel I'm meeting you halfway with my agreement that there's room to debate and make a CRT to remove the feats based on things like the model sizes and animations being generic.

I'm arguing that I don't think any of your arguments on it being canon are convincing, and it seems like its only interpreting corprate decision making as the main justification rather than how those decisions are implemented. I don't think I see compelling evidence GO should be removed from being connected to the mainline games, but I DO think there's compelling evidence to debate its USEAGE based on the arguements about the models and animations. Its not a huge difference, I know, cause I may still agree to downgrades with the same effect.

The website's main goal is, within the subjectivity of powerscaling and fictional analysis of course, is the most accurate documentation of what we're provided, and I think what we're provided is that GO has an, admittedly poorly thought out, canon connection to the mainline games and we should treat it as such. I'm not arguing that you're incorrect to challange the FEAT, but I do disagree on the CANON.
 
My problem is that the argument feels like it boils down to "Its obviously not canon because it is"
I mean thats a pretty strong argument with the common sense factor, because sadly people will grasp at straws the second something is referenced without thinking practically that this...really shouldnt affect Mainline scaling whatsoever. Powerscalers zoom in on all this to try and make the most intricate and 'blinkandyoumissit' arguments but its very obv the authors intent isnt the way most of the time.

I don't think a promotional video really proves they exist in the same continutiy as Scarlet/Violet, especially when we know the intent. Gimmighoul, like Meltan, debuted in Pokemon Go as a way to gauge interest and advertise. Later, the games can accomodate for them.
It doesnt then mean we can say that apparently...the real world itself we explore for the app game now has feats we can scale
And, I'm not arguing the feat is valid, I feel I'm meeting you halfway with my agreement that there's room to debate and make a CRT to remove the feats based on things like the model sizes and animations being generic.
I mean you can make the CRT but i think i'll genuinely lose hope if people vote to keep it around (and they might as well do that ebcause the verse is just...way too much work and outdated to properly fix as a unit.)
I'll think about it but i already got CRTs that just...dont get traction, and theres limited energy i can dedicate to it. Damage has been done and the control is just way too much when people arent on the same page and we have very limited active staff.

Well i mean, thanks for telling me but its pretty obvious that until the recent ban, people have just been letting go with this canon split.

It gets to a point where the invalidity of the calc is just...basic common sense. I don't want to debate common sense, its blatantly clear why the calc is bad and shouldnt be used to scale EVERYTHING in the verse. Its demoralising

I'm not arguing that you're incorrect to challange the FEAT, but I do disagree on the CANON.
It's only confimration is being within the 'multiverse' of pokemon, which is what every strand of Pokemon is already (and with most verses)
Pokemon Go however obviosuly doesnt take place in the mainline game continuity. You dont see 'Gym Raid battles' in the mainline where you can fight just some random Zekrom, and we certainly cant be using default animations, faulty scaling and dependency on players controlling a touchscreen to decide that apparenlty Golems as a species are FTL? The games contradict that solar beam is naturally able to be dodged too given its 100% accuracy. It fails on all fronts

I'd be more inclined if people would just...understand we dont need a big CRT that goes on for years at minimum to pass something so basic. People are gonna hate losing the 'FTL' on Pokemon though, and admittedly i wouldnt know where to go from there
