Mu Zeta posted:There was an episode that argued it's a bad thing to mature and grow. Ash preferred to keep his Pikachu from evolving into Raichu and the show made it sound like a good thing. Stay cute forever! The lesson of that episode was to not grow too fast. Lt. Surge evolved his Pikachu into Raichu as soon as he could so that it'd be stronger. Ash's Pikachu was able to defeat it using the speed attacks Raichu never had a chance to learn. You might be thinking about the episode with the Eevees where this kid had an Eevee and his brothers were all trying to get him to evolve it into one of its three forms at the time. The Eevee winds up saving the day when the evolved forms couldn't so the kid decides to keep it an Eevee forever.

FactsAreUseless posted:I like Wigglytuff better. The Wigglytuff centric episode was what changed me from Jigglypuff to Wigglytuff camp. The entire -tuff line is interesting at least which is more then you can say about a lot of other Pokemon lines.

DACK FAYDEN posted:Fun fact: obedience is only relevant to traded pokemon in-game for all seven generations, you can't overlevel any pokemon that have you as their Original Trainer Untrue, my first Pokemon game was Silver. And since I was an idiot kid who didn't know about HMs, I grinded the first pokemon I caught (a Pidgy) to get it to learn fly as quickly as possible. It literally was the only Pokemon that I used in battle, and after a while it became disobedient until I beat more gym leaders. Adeline Weishaupt has a new favorite as of 22:43 on Dec 18, 2017 |

They're pretty explicit that gen 2 only applies to outsider Pokemon, though.

I'm pretty sure its true about the not listening only if its traded thing. I messed around once and rare candied all my pokemon to level 60 or so before even getting to the first gym and they never disobeyed me. (Gen 1)

Battlestar Galactica has aged very well except for the robot cylons. I don't remember them looking like Hercules the Legendary Journeys quality CGI.

Pokemon who evolve from stones learn absolutely no moves after evolving (with the exception of Eevee); this was the point of the surge episode. It's also the reason why your level 7 Raichu will always be poo poo. There's a few other edge cases where a stoned Pokemon will learn a few moves, but by and large, the default is evolving them is what you do after you level them. Content: Home Improvement is a lot less funny knowing how much of a shithead Tim Allen became. I don't think it had anything bad like gay panic, though that may be later seasons.
