    That sounds bad ass. Why couldn’t we’ve gotten a tv adaptation of that? I want a dark Pokémon cartoon

      It’s less kid-friendly and less profitable. Pokemon has been printing money for Nintendo for decades.

      It’s fucking intense! During the Fire Red/Leaf Green arcs, Red (Ash) uses Mewtwo in a showdown against Giovanni and Deoxis. I think I stopped reading around the end of the Diamond/Pearl arc, and Diamond (the boy I think) teaches his Torterra how to use Razor Leaf to shoot a single leaf as accurate as a sniper!

      And in the Lavender Town ghost tower, they fight actual zombified dead Pokémon. Or maybe it was an illusion? Been a while, guess it’s time for a reread.
