Okay, If there's one thing I'm good at, it's COMPLAINING about stuff. There are just SOME things I can't tolerate, and the ones about Pokemon are HERE! I may not complain alot, but there are a few things  that I CAN NOT STAND... So welcome, people....to the RANT section.
 
                            Misty Rocket's Rants

Misunderstood Pokemon:
 
Togepi: All right. Togepi has GOT to be the MOST misunderstood pokemon of them all. I'm SO FED UP with the ever-so-popular rant on how "OMG! Togepi is a demond on a killing frenzy! It's evil! Evil, I tell you!" Don't gimme that crap, I've heard it all. Tell me ONCE when you saw Togepi EVER purposely try to kill anyone or anything! No, but what REALLY gets me is that everyone thinks that it's just pretending to be all innocent and stuff. COME ON PEOPLE! She's just a little chick (umm, at least I think she's a chick...) A harmless, innocent, KAWAII little....egg thing (Yeah, lets leave it at that... ^__^) Now, Togepi happens to be my favorite pokemon... I like her because she's cute, AND saves (that's right SAVES) lives. People pay attention to all of her mistakes, but NEVER notice her accomplishments. You know her metranome attack? Not ONCE have I seen it being used badly... I mean, COME ON!!! She saved Ash, Misty, Tracy, and Pikachu that one time on Pinkan Island, when that Pink Rhyhorn was going to attack them, AND for all of you Team Rocket fans, I dunno id you noticed, but in that one episode, when Jessie, James, Meowth, Pikachu, AND Togepi were stuck on that giant rock thingy on the mountion peak, Togepi saved them ALL by doing metranome right after it was plummiting to the ground!!! Another thing is, have you ever noticed that Togepi is the ONLY (accept for Togetic, it's evolution...) Who has red, white, and blue patterns on them? You'd think that people would respect Togepi after 9/11 by now... >__< 

Pikachu: Now, I don't get it. Pikachu is like, the most popular Pokemon of all time... At least...that's what I thought... Now, I see people saying that it's "the devil in disguise" and some say that it's a shocking rabid rat. PEOPLE!!! Pikachu may be a mouse.... It may shock Jessie, James, and Meowth... But PUH-LEZE!!! Aren't Jessie, James, and Meowth just fine in the next episode?! It's not like they have char-broiled skin for the whole series! It's a cartoon people, get over it. -__- I mean, it's not like Pikachu shocks them for no reason. They're trying to freakin' steal pokemon! You'd think that they'd know it's comming after three continual years of being shocked and blasted off!! (Not that I think any of them are stupid... Team Rocket ROCKS! ^___^) Pikachu has got to be the most known and loved Pokemon by some people... But some people have resorted...... To this: ::covers eyes::

                                 WAAAA! ::starts to cry::

Oh! ::disgusted:: Oh, Oh! That's NASTY. That's just NASTY!!! You Pikachu haters MAKE ME SICK!!! How can you do that to our beloved Pika pal!?!? Now, most people who are Team Rocket fans hate Pikachu. I can understand. But... let me tell you something... I know someone in Team Rocket who respects Pikachu... Meowth. Yup. You heard me right. Meowth. Why, do you ask? I know it's true... Meowth totally respected the fact that Pikachu didn't want to evolve. And in "Bound for trouble", Meowth and Pikachu were friends. I bet that deep down inside, Meowth has the utmost respect for Pikachu... But he can't show it, because of Jessie and James. He had to choose whether to be loyal to a fellow pokemon or his team mates, and he chose his team mates. I don't blame Meowth, but Come on, people.... HAVE A LITTLE HEART FOR PIKACHU ::makes puppy dog face::

Misunderstood People:

Ash: Okay, people. Ash is probably the MOST hated character of Pokemon... Especially by Team Rocket fans. How can you blame Ash!? He's only trying to protect what is his OWN property! I don't get it. As in the Pikachu rant, some people blame Ash for "sicking his pokemon to attack Jessie, James, and Meowth" Yes, yes, I've heard it all. And I'm not saying that it's not true, but please... It's not like he's doing it for no reason... I mean... Take this for example.... If your brother/sister (Brother/sister represents Team Rocket) was trying to steal your favorite CD,(CD represents Pikachu and/or other pokemon) and they took it from you to give to their friend (Friend represents Giovanni) wouldn't you be mad? And wouldn't you want to do anything to get your CD back!?! I know I would... Uhh... Misty, what if they're an only child? .................................... Umm... Uhhh... Well... take this for example... Have you ever considered that the only thing Ash and co. see Jessie and James as is criminals?! I know that Jessie and James aren't as evil as they are supposed to be, but think for a minute... Was Ash there when Jessie and James planned to cover up for Jessie's friend, Blissy, pretending that it was really them that stole the food? (I forget the episode, but it's the one with Jessie's flashback on how she wanted to be a nurse) No... He didn't hear that.... Was he there to hear James say "Jessie, let's quit team Rocket and start a new life as gardeners!" (Aww, that was so sweet...and Shippy once you think about it ^__-) No... He didn't hear that.... Was he there to hear Jessie and James' discussion when Jessie said "If I was that lady, I'd put "One million dollars" in that space on that check, and cash it in real fast..." and then James said "But Jessie, what if he's a poor man, and needs that money?" then, Jessie said "Yeah, I guess your right..." (If Jessie and James are really trying to be evil, then I sure can't see it in THAT scene...hehehe ^__^) No.... Ash didn't hear that either! So, I know some of you are saying, "Ash should just give Pikachu over to them! They're poor and they need to steal to live!!" People... I'll say it once more. ASH ONLY SEE'S THEM AS BURGLERS! I know that they have done numerous things to destroy part of their bad reps, but Ash HASN'T been there to actually see it! You can't blame him for it! As I said before, When he "sicks his pokemon" on them, they're only hurt for a split second....it's not like every time they blast off, they hit the ground to the sound of their own bones crunching, and drowning in their own puddles of blood! IT'S A CARTOON!!!!! They're FINE in the next episode... Some other people hate Ash because of his "Dumb luck" in winning badges, out of pity and winning because of cheating or something. First of all, lets just get this strait. Ash has NEVER cheated. There is NO PROOF that he has ever cheated... NONE! Now, Ash only won two badges out of pity. The boulger badge, and the cascade badge. Now, I know for a fact that Pikachu would have totaled Misty's water pokemon fur sure... nuff said... so technically, that one wasn't won out of pity. I think the unanamous winner would have been Ash anyway... He had the type atvantage. Also, what REALLY ticks me off is people say that Ash never trains... PEOPLE, What exactly do you consider TRAINING? Battling... Doesn't Ash do that... ALOT!? You people aren't thinking... One more thing....  I happen to think Ash is a cutie... yup, just take a look at him... I'm not saying he's the cutest, but he IS cute. James is hot. Ash is cute. There's a difference. And may I add, in the manga, Ash is EXTREMLY kawaii!                                         

Cute ^__^

Misty: I know that lot's of people think Misty sucks too... I don't understand though. People say that she always complains alot, and she doesn't really do it alot anymore... You see, people... Lets work this out logically... Ash, the leader of the group, is like James... A little abcent minded, but still cool... Misty, who has a crush on Ash (Puppy love version of what Jessie and James have ^__-), Is much like Jessie, being the feminine, premadonna-like girl of the group... Brock, who is the one always carrying a map, or cooking the meal, is much like Meowth, being the side-kick of the two main partners, but still having that "leader" role in a way. Some people also say that Misty's hair is ugly... I happen to think that her hair is unique and pretty! I mean really! Side pony tails are so cool! If you think her style is weird, then just take a peek at Jessie's! It's in the the shape of a cresent, for God's sake! I wonder how much hair spray she uses...lol. And James? It's BLUE! Cool, but... Blue! The cast of pokemon has very unique hair for everyone... Doncha think? One more thing... People think that Misty is ugly, and scrawny... now... Scrawny? Yes... ugly? NO! Being a girl, I don't really notice these things, but I know she's definatly not UGLY! I asked a couple of boys I know (including my brother) and they all said that she was hot.

Brock: Now,  some people who like Team Rocket also like Brock, but....There are those people... That TOTALLY HATE BROCK. Brock may be a bit...uh... perverted (lol) but he isn't like, really bad! He's the comic relief of Ash and co.! Even though Ash and Misty do say some funny things sometimes, most of the time, it's Brock making me laugh when Ash and co. have a scene. Sometimes his puns aren't exactly that funny, but Brock is cool and you gotta respect that! People also say that he's stupid because he cant open his eyes. Now I was shocked because of this! People who think that should be ASHAMED! Have you ANY idea that hating Brock for that particular reason is RACISM?! A HUH... RACISM... Japanese, Chinese, Korian, Vietnamese, and many other cultures of people have narrow eyes... Don't you think it would be a BIT insulting to one of those kinds of people to hear that you hate Brock because of his eyes!? Now, there is an ecception though. Poking fun at it isn't as bad... I mean, even the dubbers of pokemon did it a couple of times! (ie: Calling Brock "Squinty" in some episodes, also, in the episode "The Wittow of Maiden's Peak" that old lady said "Why don't you open your eyes!", and even in the CD, "Pokemon Christmas Bash" they used irony with Brock, giving him the line "To what my half opened eyes should appear, but a minature sleigh and eight tiny reigndeer.") But actually HATING him because of it and saying things like, "He's so stupid because his eyes are disformed!" are very insulting for people of that culture to hear!

James: All right, for all you people who are sighing in bordem, saying, "Why is she only defending the "twerps"?!!" Now is your time to shine. James is also, sadly, misunderstood... "Why?" Some people ask? I'll tell you why.... Lemme just get this off my chest... JAMES IS NOT...NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOTTY NOT NOT GAY! Ok, now I feel better ^__^. But, some of you people make me sick, saying. "Oh, well he crossdresses, end of story." NO! Not "end of story!" James wasn't ever gay, he isn't gay now, HE'S NEVER GONNA BE GAY! You know why...? Because he loves JESSIE... YES, JESSIE HIS PARTNER. I don't care what all you other shippers think... He's NOT in love with Cassidy... He's NOT in love with Butch ::shudders::.... He's NOT in love with Ash, Misty, Brock, WHATEVER!!!! HE'S IN LOVE WITH JESSIE... JESSIE!!!! WAAAAAAA!!!! And, let me let you in on something.... When was the last time you saw James crossdress....? You know what, may be I have long term memory loss, or it's that James hasn't crossdressed in quite some time now... And, in the Manga!!! HOW CAN SOME PEOPLE BE SO NAIEVE!? JESSIE AND JAMES GET FREAKIN MARRIED IN THE END OF THE MANGA!!! Okay, now I think it would be kinda strange if in the manga, James was strait, and in the anime he's a fruit. No... Not kinda strange.... REALLY STRANGE. Have YOU ever seen an anime that some person was gay in and in the manga, they were strait? I know I sure haven't!!! Jessie and James are getting married, and having kids... Now THAT'S What I call "end of story...nuff said"...

Jessie: Now, I hate the way some people think Jessie is HEARTLESS! Everyone has a soft side, and Jessie just prefers not to show it all the time... She DOES show it sometimes, though! You people who think Jessie is a cold, mean, heartless person are so stupid! Can't you see that deep down, Jessie is a kind-hearted, soft, sensitive person!? Have you ALSO noticed that Jessie hardly ever hits people with her mallet/paper fan/hand/frying pan anymore!? Living without her mom and dad toughened her up alot, and she probably seems so greedy because everything she loved and cared about disappeared. Her Mom, her Dad, her home, her Ex-Boyfriend, EVEN her only rag doll! She never got anything to call her own... So that's probably why she joined Team Rocket... Also, to make her mom proud. Another thing that bothers me is people are constantly spelling her name wrong! It's J-E-S-S-I-E, people! A common misspelling of it is J-E-S-S-E, which I can understand, because of this annoying little thing...

Okay, this is strange...

Now, I know it says "Official Nintendo Licenced Product" on it, BUT... It wasn't actually MADE by BY Nintendo... It was made by the "TOPPS" company, and Nintendo probably just approved that they used Pokemon for their cards. Now... The CD "Pokemon Christmas Bash" was made Oficially by Nintendo and 4kids Entertainment and in the lyrics located inside the cover, they spell it J-E-S-S-I-E... Don't believe me? Lookie here...   

This isn't strange... It just has crappy graphics.

Man... My scanner is crappy... Well, if you can't see the letters, then if you have the CD, check for yourself... If you don't have the CD, then just "borrow" it from your friend...lol. Another way to prove it is this...  

lol... I laugh every time I read this.

Okay, this is from the official manga by Viz and Nintendo. If that didn't prove it, I dunno what will. Some other wacked up spellings of Jessie's name are... J-E-S-S-Y, J-E-S-I-E, and J-E-S-S-I... Scary, doncha think...? Another thing is LOOK ON THE CAPTIONS!!!! If you turn on the captions on your tv, it's spelled J-E-S-S-I-E, okay? Go check... One last thing is, J-E-S-S-E is the boy's name spelling. I know two people with that name, both "Jessie" and "Jesse" and the girl is "Jessie" and the boy is "Jesse". Jessie's name isn't spelled J-E-S-S-E, because she is a girl! Jesse James was the guy who Jessie and James were named after... But HE was a boy! So... They added one more letter to it and made it "Jessie" insted of "Jesse" because she's a GIRL! Get it? Got it? Good...

Can I add a rant?
But I thought you don't complain.
Well, I do have just one rant and I promise it won't take up much space like yours do.
Sure go right ahead. ::thinks:: how can a rant take up little space?
Okay, here goes...
 
My rant: Okay, some people think that Pokemon and Digimon are baby shows for five year old boys. Well, proof that they aren't are that they have romance stuff and some grown up jokes. And to top it all off, DIGIMON IS RATED TV-Y7!
 
There you have it folks. Melissa's rant. Short but powerful.
I rock!  (hey, okay so maybe I am a little serious, but I'm not as serious as Rika!)
Umm, okay.
