But No Theme Song Will Ever Match Up To The First.

I just caught an episode of Pokémon: Johto League Champions and quite literally wept for love. It was about a Houndoom that found Togepi when it was lost, and the two of them became Best Friends For Ever, and it was the corniest thing ever (complete with a Houndoom-and-Togepi montage set to a song about friendship!) and I adored it anyway. Oh, Pokémon, you are so utterly ridiculous and full of over-the-top sentimentality and yet I have never stopped loving you. And yes, I was more affected by the scene where the two of them had to part than I care to admit. SHUT UP, SHUT UP. IT WAS TOUCHING, ALL RIGHT?

I sort of lost track of Pokémon after the Orange Islands episodes. It's good to know that the later episodes still have the ability to fill me with glee and adoration. (Hurrah, there's another episode on! Oh, James, I love you and your hopeless gullibility and your obsession with bottle caps.)

BUT NOW THERE IS AN ADVERT FOR BATTLE FRONTIER AND ASH'S VOICE IS WRONG. I DO NOT APPROVE OF THIS AT ALL.


(On an unrelated note, does anyone know what's happened to melata_fic?)

AT LEAST YOU ARE NOT EIGHTEEN AND STILL WATCHING THE RIDICULOUS (BUT GLORIOUS) CARTOON. THE GAMES ARE MUCH MORE RESPECTABLE.
