My daughter actually brought that up one day while we were watching the show -- she asked if all the humans were vegetarians, as there were never any "normal" animals to be seen, and *surely* people weren't eating Pokemon.

[rayquaza2222]

They had to eat Pokemon! Remember the old episode where Ash, Misty, Brock, and Team rocket where stranded out in sea because the boat they were on sank? They wanted to eat a Magikarp that James got on the boat, anyone remember?

[Gaelen1227]

^They were delirious then if you were starving and saw a fish
that YOU knew was posonious you would eat it not that karps
are poisonous

^True, bad example.

[Otaku]

Okay, trying to not get too far off on a tangent, I miss Brock but the entire cast needs to be changed out!

As for animals in the world of Pokemon, I blame it on the series being stylized and geared toward children. You did see the occasional "normal" animal in the world of Pokemon, although rare and mostly early on. Notice how animals and insects are replaced by Pokemon, but no other lifeforms with Pokemon equivalents. We don't have only Pokemon substituting for fungus, micro-organisms, people or plants, and yet Pokemon that could exist. It is just the writers wanting to show off Pokemon.

Now I am aware that early in Pokemon references were made to eating them, but that was before they were so "humanized" and I don't know if the original Japanese refers to it this way...

I mean why did he lose all the knowledge he learned from the past 10 years of the show. He has never had an issue knowing how to catch Pokemon and what types to battle save for the first season (which was understandable), but to go back just makes the show completely unwatchable, if it wasn't already that way.

I do understand about Brock not being on the show. They wanted to promote more of B/W in the show. However, not sure that I agree with the choice after seeing those first 5 episodes.

Just my thoughts on it.

Don't forget to mention that he lost to a LEVEL 5 Snivy (most likely, I mean it was just fresh out of the lab) with a probably LEVEL 90 (at least) Pikachu.

Lol. Riiiiiiight. In the anime:

Shock Wave can miss >_>
Pikachu cannot OHKO Snivy with Quick Attack
Pikachu can survive at least three hits from a ground type move
And LOTS more crap

Anyways, back on topic, I think that they will appear eventually... just like May did in... Battle Dimensions?

[Benzo]

Brock is gone, hanging out with the series episodes that will never be aired here in the USA.......

[LegendCallerL]

I've been paying attention to the Japanese episodes. I can't believe that they would have (Look in spoiler if you must) travel with Ash.
SPOILER: HIGHLIGHT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Meowth is traveling with Ash, Iris, and Cilan. Not just any Meowth. The Team Rocket one. Really. He got "fired" from Team Rocket and somehow this happened.

[rayquaza2222]

^Looks like the shows will get better!! :D

Wasn't Red's Pikachu something like lv. 85 in Kanto? Ash's Pikachu is supposed to be equivalent, but here we are 4 regions later, while every time near the end, Ash's Pikachu is competing in big, high level tournaments (like against that one Latios, give me a break!), but every time it comes to a new region it is weak and pitiful.

My theory: Between regions, Pikachu visits Mystery Dungeon Land and the Anime staff feeds it a truckfull of doom seeds so that they can have "evenly matched" gym battles and rivals that don't get annihilated by that overtrained rodent.

Not sure how else it could work. (Ash, "Pikachu, Iron Tail that LV.5 Snivy! BAM! snivy's ina nother continent.")

Yea, exactly. Either that or after each Region the Pokemon levels go up 30. o.O Yes, and that would stop at level 100... But then how will they evolve? xD

[pokesam128]

im confused ash is supposed to be something like 26 brocks supposed to be like 40 and iris is 10 and she calls him a little kid and dawn did she get like kidnapped by brock or something she just dropped off the face of the earth and last but not least officer jenny stop yelling arcanine at your pokemon when it's a GRoulith

[bullados]

Welcome to Anime.

Time does not matter.

Logic does not matter.

I found Brock! He went swimming! I found him here:http://www.flickr.com/photos/eurobum99/5393582853/

[Daniel1888]

According to Wikipedia it seems like Brock will never be returning to the pokemon series. However the next season after pokemon black and white rival destines (Pokemon Pocket masters Best Wishes Season 2) Cynthia the champion of the sinnoh region will be joined by ash and his friends to compete in the upcoming world tournament. Also Ash's old companion Dawn will also join them too.

Will you shut up about the Ash Ketchum Coma Theory already? It's completely false. Nintendo and Game Freak would've said something about this already If Ash really was in a coma and with the way they made the Anime/Manga series it wasn't even intentional especially on Satoshi Tajiri's part when he made the Pokemon series. It's bad taste when everyone goes out to make the Pokemon Anime look nothing more than a huge conspiracy theory that was devised by the Japanese Government somehow and don't get me started with the whole Lavender Town theory from Generation I.

Thing is the Pokemon franchise wasn't intended to go past Generation II being Johto and with the success of the video games and such Nintendo and Game Freak felt the need to continue the series further despite that the Original Manga series for Pokemon ended after Generation II, so from then on the Anime was mainly used as a marketing tool for the franchise where alot of the same stuff is repeated over and over again hence why people started getting these crazy theories about the Anime and such to the point where they try to ruin people's childhoods of the Anime series growing up.

So supposedly Brock is never coming back but yet Dawn is? Why her? Why not Misty?
