This would make sense except that it doesn't acknowledge the fact that Ash is blatantly gay and in love with Gary. It also says James is "implied" to be homosexual which is absolutely false...in the US, James' original voice actor affected this really stereotypically gay voice, but this was never the case in Japan. The US dub was also the one that threw in stupid gay jokes. And the crossdressing is a Japanese joke based on Kabuki theater, not an implication of homosexuality. James is quite obviously in love with Jessie and actually marries her in the manga.

Anyways I read the whole thing and yeah, it's really neat, it's cool.

No, James is gay. You've obviously never been to Pokemopolis. Also the manga is like a professionally published Pokemon fancomic, since the show came first.

I've been to Pokemopolis and was even friends with Lex, and it's frankly an idiotic site and Lex is kind of...I won't say anything against her since we used to be friends. But yeah, that site is based on a bunch of silly dub stuff and it will go to any ridiculous lengths to deny that James is het. When that final issue of the manga first came out, Pokemopolis actually tried to say "You don't that James is the one who got her pregnant and married her, it could have been Giovanni!" Wow, REALLY reaching there, people. Later on they switched over the slightly less ridiculous "fancomic" explanation. But the manga is NOT simply a "fancomic," it's an OFFICIAL Pokemon comic endorsed BY the creators of Pokemon. In Japan you actually can publish all the unofficial fan comics you want- Ono's manga is NOT one of these, it was actually officially endorsed. And yes the show came first, but the manga came out during the early years of the show so it's pretty darn old as well. Even if you discard the manga there are very, very obvious implications in the show that James is in love with Jessie. And as I said, all the supposed "gay" evidence is stupid dub-added stuff, and even the dub-added stuff is just based on lame stereotypes of homosexuals. A guy can actually be submissive and a crossdresser WITHOUT being gay, I've known tons of them in my real life.

It's old hat and bullshit looking-too-much-into-a-kids'-show.

Yeah but it's made of LOLZ. So you can't really hate it that much. Like I said one of the better pokemon fan fics you will read.

I stopped reading Pokemon fanfic when I was 15, I'm 23 now, you do the math.

Same pretty much. I read them when Pokemon first came out the US just due to peer pressure mostly.

*bad times bad times*

Yeah I quickly got over it. As I was hella old anyway. I mean when you grow up with s**t like TMMT and GI Joe. ******** Pocket Monsters aren't all that appealing.

Why the effort to naturalize fiction? A psychedelic coma is not the only way to explain or mitigate a fantasy story, and shouldn't be implemented in the way that attributes social ideas to the child mind of an immature ten-year-old-idealist.

I prefer to think that the social world of the Pokemon series (video games and anime alike) is a nice model for people to think about implementing.

All of that aside, I'm surprised I've never read this interpretation. It's incredibly interesting to consider the possibilities of Ash's relationship to the individuals he encounters in his journey, and it does indeed serve as a good interpretation of some of the absurdities of the Pokemon world, particularly the anime.

Okay. I've seen a few mixed opinions, but I think I might have to read this fanfic. ... Just as soon as my younger brother leaves the house. I don't need him thinking I'm a bigger dork than I already am. wink

OH GOD IT WAS ALL HIS DREAMS?! I figured his pikachu would be like what... lvl 5000 by now? (and amazingly still loses... that pathetic creature)

Actually its OVER 9000!

******** yeah seaking! Besides I only played for the addictive game play. The first 4 seasons were actually Okish, but still not epic awesome.

[GothickZombie]

Oh, wow. And I seriously thought all the new pokemon and legendary's completely ruined it. I stopped watching pokemon years ago.

Still, this makes more sense than any of the episodes so far and entertained me a hell of a lot more.

OVER 9000?

*BOOOOOOOOOM*

[marshmallowcreampie]

Yeah, I've read that article before. Saved it to my computer, even. I never really looked into a show that much, much less a children's show. But it would be a very interesting theory. It would be interesting if the show actually ended like that, or at least, was revealed to be Ash's coma dream. They need to try looking into other things this much. Think Twilight can be a coma dream? I could go for that, actually...

read this many years ago back when the G4 forums were cool. or maybe when AS started. I don't know.

Anyway yeah it's one of the better fanfics out there. Far better from all the Onix and Ash slash fics and or pictures anyway. neutral

Seriously fanboys and girls what is the point in making Ash, Misty, and other human characters have sex with all 400+ Pokemon? Or at least label the s**t. You people gave me bad, bad nightmares during high school.

Good thing Google filters work a lot better and I stopped reading mostly any fanfiction.

emo they...they...had...sex with the Pokemons? ... gonk crying

[lexipthemudkip]

I'm loving it so far. lol
It appeals to both my love of Pokemon and my love of psychology (which I'm majoring in).

I played up to Silver/Gold I believe. I might have played Ruby once.

Still unlike Mario and games like that. I just don't see the appeal plus it the same s**t different locations.
