I'M CAPTAIN KIRK

-appears to be wearing capris with pulled-up ankle socks and loafers

 

-has a flower clip in his hair

 

he is also a pro high-diver, so there's that

 

blue-haired team skull leader guy is apparently mad at ilima for stealing all the girls' attention when they were young
we know what to do with a backstory like that now don't we folks

 

kiawe's in a shirt again
he hates it

ilima is also an expert at ping-pong

 

'it sounds kind of familiar but i'm not sure i get it'
ash's series amnesia strikes again
(one of his female companion's ambipom got left behind to train as a pokemon ping-pong player, though i forget exactly which series that was in)

 

those are some eyebrows sir

 

Spoiler: big pic

oh okay

 

professor burnett makes those fancy japanese lunchbox things because of course she does

 

poipole is just a baby poke-transformer and you cannot persuade me otherwise

 

sure you don't want to wear the nurse joy dress, ash. you aren't at all the only one of the three boys who actually put it on before questioning whether or not you should be wearing a skirt

 

holy fucking shit ash

 

someone on the pokemon animation team was a big fan of Thunderbirds

 

also this has been bugging me since we first saw kiawe's family's ranch: if you have like fuckin. thirty mudbray. you are not going to wash them all individually by hand every single fucking day

 

MY OTHER, MUCH OLDER SON

 

nanu, having lied to team rocket's faces about the kahuna being 'away on a training journey': that's right, go home. this looks like trouble and I don't feel like dealing with it.

i love this man

 

he just hangs out in his shitty police station with his thirty billion meowth and doesn't give a shit

also apparently he and giovanni go way back and i'd. really like to know how

 

acerola's permanent ':3' face looks... much weirder in the anime than it does in the games

 

apparently being possessed by a gengar makes you act like a zombie, who knew
