    The Mysteries of Pokemon

    Indeed ;D LOL, I rationalize that by saying there's a high volume of vegetarians in the Pokemon world. Good point. My theory is that the company that makes Poke Balls programs them not to work of they register human DNA. If it's used on a Pokemon/animal that doesn't have human DNA it's going...

    The Mysteries of Pokemon

    Yep, I'm with you 100% there. Couldn't have said it better myself. The planet Pokemon takes place on is Kobol from Battlestar Galactica :P On a more on-topic note I agree, as more Pokemon have been added the reference to regular animals have been removed, making Pokemon the animals of their...

    Where were you when....

    They are? Golem is pretty obvious, but this is the first I've heard that the Regis trio are based off of the Golem. Still, if that's what's getting Saudi Arabia all wound up they should probably consider that most cultures around the world are referenced in Pokemon one way or another.

    Where were you when....

    Actually, now that I think about it, there is Golem, who's named after a Jewish folk tale from the middle ages. http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Golem#Name_origin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golem Maybe that's what the Saudis got all uptight about?

    Do you think they should have a new protagonist for the anime?

    Technically yes, he should be 20, but actual years do not equal show years. It's about one year in the show for every two actual years, IIRC.

    Where were you when....

    The Satanism and Pokemon thing almost comes across like "In Pokemon some of them are Fire types! Satan lives in Hell which has lots of Fire! EH? EH?" Registeel sprite incident concerned the fact that the original Japanese/North American sprite for Registeel in D/P looked somewhat like it was...

    The Mysteries of Pokemon

    Yeah, I suppose that the Fire types could regulate the temperature and intensity of the flames depending on who's touching them. Still though, even a "mild" flame is going to hurt. I guess it would be possible to lower the intensity of the flame to a point where it wouldn't be that bad...

    Your Heart Gold/ Soul Silver Starter Will Be...

    Cyndaquil. I always thought the Gen II Fire starter line was pretty cool looking, but I never had a chance to play with them.

    Where were you when....

    Same here. And I'm Jewish. Really Saudi Arabia. Help me out here. I'm not disagreeing with you at all BUT I'll just say that even though I know the games are designed in Japan where the swastika has a completely benevolent meaning I still feel just a tad uneasy whenever I look at the bottom...

    What would you be in the Pokemon World?

    Trainer, but only after high school.

    The Mysteries of Pokemon

    I wouldn't look at the show as the be-all-and-end-all of what moves would look like. Especially the D&P series, which I think really screws the pouch on moves. Like Swift. The show now has Swift as perfectly rendered stars shooting from the Pokemon. Realistically it would probably look like...

    Do you think they should have a new protagonist for the anime?

    Ash is fine. He works. Until it becomes obvious that his presence is doing the show more harm then good he should stay. On his age though, I think 14-15 sounds about right, and I think Paul's about the same age considering his level of success so far. May's about 12 and Dawn's 10.

    Your First Pokemon

    Charizard. I was reading a Nintendo Power, and I think it was the issue that had this huge article promoting the release of Red and Blue. I think it might have been the first major official announcement of the series in NP, but I could be wrong. I saw the picture of Charizard, read the article...

    What is your favorite TM/HM?

    That would be a tie between HM 02 and HM 03, Fly and Surf. They get major points in my book by being HM moves that are actually useful as battle moves.

    What is your favorite eevee evolution?

    It's a tie between Flareon and Jolteon for me. I love fire types, so that's where Flareon comes in, but Jolteon was the first Electric type that ever had a regular spot on a team of mine back in Red. Plus it just knows some unique moves that make it cool to have.

    Shinies by chaining

    Ah, ok cool. Thanks. Never would have thought of that....

    Shinies by chaining

    Forgive my ignorance, but what is chaining?

    Most annoying Pokemon

    Chansey. It minimizes itself to avoid being hit, and it has such a high special defence stat that when I do manage to get a hit in it doesn't do as much damage as I would like. Then just as I'm about to finally KO the sucker it uses Soft Boil, restoring its HP.
