I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Epic Rap Battles of history is dumb stuff for middle schoolers, but they did have a solid burn on Ash when they had Charles Darwin call him "Mighty Morphin' Michael Vick."

I like the trend of dropping the tempo and increasing the echo on a pop song. It's better than the Inception noises.

you're only scraping the surface, japan is still making doraemon and anpanman. that poo poo is sixty years old and they're making money off of it hand over fist. it's just that this IP has taken root in the west, so we get to see a multi-billion-dollar japanese giant go on for hundreds of years.

has anything really replaced pokemon? I recall seeing "yo kai watch" games that seemed like it might be the modern equivalent but in terms of general merchandising it feels like kids today are just playing the newer pokemon games.

Yu Gi Oh was hyped to but never took root. I think there are dudes playing Beyblade still but that's just weird. Bakugan was big for a hot second. Not sure what else.

youkai watch is a pokemon ripoff that appeals to japanese audiences because it draws from traditional ghost stories whereas pokemon is just kinda made up wholesale, this pokemon has the power to destroy a mountain in a single punch etc. however, it's basically a DOA franchise because while it made the company that produces it some money, they wanted pokemon money and they didn't get it, so youkais are getting relegated to snack cakes mascots and crossover licensing with mmos and other mega nerd poo poo

yugioh was popular back when I was in middle school but it was basically mtg for babies and even the players knew that, I dunno if a tcg is ever gonna have the sort of draw a series like pokemon would.

sanrio, makers of hello kitty, produces Show By Rock!!, an "animated music idol" cartoon + rhythm game IP "targeted at young adult audiences and up" where every character is a beautiful man with sparkles, or a magical girl of some sort, and they can also turn into furry versions of themselves

so this wouldn't surprise me

Look, I'm not exaggerating when I say the success of your mission hinges on how you use that cardboard box.
Pikachu has always talked, it's just that no one has wanted to listen until now.

Finally his story or captivity and abuse can be heard.

Minecraft.

Not, like, just the game. There's Lore now. Books.

I think that's over now too, I don't know what's next, maybe someone's working on a Fidget Spinner anime.

I haven't watched pokemon since it was gen 1, did they ever give Pikachu a gender since it became a thing in the game? They always called Pikachu and all other pokemon 'it', though it kind of leaned towards Pikachu being a girl. Also, I think Ash could literally understand Pikachu's babbling anyways, and it was a thing with some trainers. So it seemed kind of pointless to make it (her?) talk.

Ash, Pikachu has never said poo poo up until this point, what made you think asking a question now would have resulted in anything other than yet another tirade of pika pika pika. Ya dumb gently caress!
