Lucario mistakes the queen for Lady Rin, the ancient queen, and ONCE AGAIN they call a queen a lady. Do they not know the difference? The terms aren't interchangeable.

I wouldn't swear to it, but I'm guessing that this is the result of translating Japanese literally instead of dynamically, kind of like every time "on(ii/ee)-san" is translated to literally mean "big brother/sister" when used for a non-relative (which has never happened in this show IIRC but is incredibly common.)

Cut to the heroes, who literally take time out of the journey to search for Pikachu and Mew to... take an impromptu hot spring bath.

You probably capped the wrong image, since the only obvious reason for this is "there wasn't enough May fanservice in this movie". Because she's totally only ten years old.

Wat.

Ash gives up being a pokemon master to become one of the world's only masters of aura.

No, okay, he doesn't.


Amazingly, Ash's ability to use aura has actually come up again in the anime twice. Yay continuity!

Charizard manages to grab it during a second steel wing, however, and use seismic toss. Articuno is unable to handle the 1-100 damage and finally collapses, and Charizard stands back up, victorious.

Seismic Toss has always been Charizard's kill move. I honestly cannot remember a single time that Charizard has failed to immediately win a battle after using Seismic Toss, because it flies in circles first and there's this symbolism with circling the globe. Have you actually never mentioned this, or was it just so long ago that I've already forgotten? (After all, the first time he did this was aBlaine's Magmar.)

Eventually he remembers that Grovyle is allowed to grass attacks

...Apparently everyone else was so caught up with your misspelling of Onix's name that they failed to catch this one.

In a forest, the heroes meet Mitch Mitchem, whose parents apparently hated their son and wanted to curse him with the worst name.

It's not his fault that his last name's Mitchem. I have a last name that would lend itself to similar shenanigans, and I kind of want to do that just so that when confused telemarketers call asking for (common first name that makes up the first two-thirds of my last name), I can respond by putting a two-year-old on the phone.

...the difference is that you can't really shorten "Mitch" any further, whereas if I were to actually have a son in the future and give him such a name, there's a convenient nickname that he could use to make it less blatant. Not that it's really all that weird since most surnames that contain common male names were in fact originally patronymics.

LOL. She actually looks like she could be eating something else there, possibly even a sandwich. It looks like there should be something long and thin there, and instead there's just these two rice balls.

What's the best way to put it to sleep? Putting on Avatar, of course: the visuals will be breathtaking but the plot and characters will be complete ****.

Wow random dig.
