What if? Pokemon Edition

[L-05308]

If your not familliar with the game I will give you the low down-

* Enter the thread
* Read the latest post
* Awnser how the anime would be different if the previous user's comment was true.
* Write your own 'What if?', be as crazy as you like:

For example

What if Ash caught Stunfisk and Cilan caught Palpitoad?

User 1
"Well, Ash would have his second Electric type which is cool. I wonder what Skyla would have thourght about Palpitoad, could she have beaten it? I think the battle could have been boring. Stunfisk wouldn't get much screentime which would be bad."

"What if Misty's Psyduck really did evolve?"

User 2
"Honestly, it would suck to miss out on all that comedy. I think Golduck would have been a cool battler but Misty didn't battle much so it would have been wasted potential."

"What if Cilan had stayed at the Striaton gym and Chilli had joined the main cast insted?"


So the first user has to awnser:
"What if Cilan had stayed at the Striaton gym and Chilli had joined the main cast insted?"

 

[Catspring]

I could see Chili being in interesting character. I liked his appearance in "A Call for Brotherly Love!" If he were to join the main cast instead of Cilan... that'd be an interesting dynamic, since Chili and Ash both seem like the type to get fired up about a battle, albeit Chili much more so. Iris would sure have a lot on her hands with those two.

What if Dawn had won the Grand Festival?

 

[Bandit Keith]

What if Dawn had won the Grand Festival?

The complaints would arise that she didn't deserve it/Togekiss DEM, and "Why didn't May win either of hers? She was better/worse!"

"What if Ash's Boldore learned Stealth Rock, and so did Cilan's Stunfisk?"

 

[matt0044]

"What if Ash's Boldore learned Stealth Rock, and so did Cilan's Stunfisk?"

They'd have a cool new move and... that's pretty much all I can think of.

What if Ash won the Kanto League? (Answer in terms on within the story and not so much as to how the fans would variously react).

 

[Gengarzilla]

The anime would end there.

What if Ash's Snivy was male?

 

[cwf1701]

The anime would end there.

What if Ash's Snivy was male?

Attract would have not worked on Pikachu (or any other pokemon of Ash's except for Pidove).

What if Bianca caught Emolga instead of Iris?

 

[Bandit Keith]

What if Ash's Snivy was male?

Emolga would be shipped with it even more.

"What if Shadow Pokémon existed in the anime?"

 

[matt0044]

"What if Shadow Pokémon existed in the anime?"

Ash would go ballistic at even the mere thought.

"What if Ash cut the crap and used his Pokemon instead of when he throws himself into harm's way?"

 

[John Understands]

Then he would be more safe.

What if Dawn never visited Ash in Unova?

 

[cwf1701]

What if Dawn never visited Ash in Unova?

it would break the pattern of the former girl traveler returning for a few episodes (Misty in Pokemon Advanced and May in Diamond and Pearl).

What if Bianca caught Emolga instead of Iris?

 

[L-05308]

hehehe, we are supposed to be awnsering in terms of story.

If Bianca caught Emolga, I'm not sure we'd see her much, Minccino and Emboar seem to be the stars on her team. I'd think its role in BW024 and BW025 would stay very much the same. Can't think of what Iris would catch instead, maybe she'd have that Frillish from the Cilan fishing episode but that would have meant it not being such a Cilan episode. No Emolga on the main cast would take away a dimenion of Snivy's character. Actually, there would still be the Volt switch episode and the Gothia one, Snivy would be fine. I initially wanted Bianca to catch Emolga but I'm glad Iris has it now.

What if Ash never saw Charizard again after leaving him in the valley?

 

[sweet insanity]

What if Ash never saw Charizard again after leaving him in the valley?

He would have died in that Entei film. Other than that, no major changes, considering he barely even sees the thing anyway.

What if Kasumi/Misty returned in the new series of BW?

 

[Yankees4life]

What if Kasumi/Misty returned in the new series of BW?

Well, that would break all the rules of having a past character from last gen appear for a cameo

What if Ash wasn't a lot less dense??

 

[Gengarzilla]

Then he would have swept Ritchie in the Kanto League with an obediant Charizard and win the whole thing.

What if the Straiton triplets were really the Shadow Triad?

 

[John Understands]

Then Team Plasma would have appeared in the anime long ago...

What if 4Kids kept on dubbing the anime in Best Wishes?

 

[matt0044]

Then Team Plasma would have appeared in the anime long ago...

What if 4Kids kept on dubbing the anime in Best Wishes?

There's be better dub dialogue yet low quality BGM unless they got the idea that replacing soundtracks is utterly unnecessary. But what're the odds of that? They might lengthen Dawn's skirt unless they're asked not to so it corresponds with the games better. It's not likely but you never know. And if Harley or James is any indication, Cilan is as safe as a dry hump.

What if the Team Rocket was disbanded at the end of Johto and the TRio reformed to follow their own path with Giovanni gone? Would they continue to AG or not?

 

[Peppermint Phoenix]

The Twinleaf festival would be called a carnival?

What if Ash aged one year every region

 

[matt0044]

The Twinleaf festival would be called a carnival?

Were you answering my question?

 

[Peppermint Phoenix]

The Twinleaf festival would be called a carnival?

Were you answering my question?

oops

to answer your question yes they would to get revenge on Ash

What if Ash battled a group of thugs with sandile instead of going to Juniper's lab

 

[97SaturnSL1]

Ash would have sandile go all crazy and have sandile eat them.

What if the anime had pikachu being a spokesperson for the Chevy Volt?
