This is a counter-response to Mari-Ashley Ketchums AAP arguments, they can be found at this page. Go read it, and see whos better. Most Pokemon fans, of course, will say instantly that Ashleys reasons are better.
--------------------------------
First, you never see a gymleader or a trainer curse a Pokemon because they know the consequences of their actions: they will get chastised, shocked, or be yelled at by there Pokemon is some way. Ash grabs Pikachus tail; Pikachu shocks him. [In the first episode] Ash tries to make him fight, Pikachu climbs up a tree and laughs while he futilely attempts to do so.
Oh, a few episodes. With how often Pokemon repeats, over and over, you dont have to watch every episode. It also applies to everything else, too. You dont have to eat a whole cake to say that its good, or hack one site to either think that it is cool or that it is devastating to do that. Pokemon does repeat. It has repeated two times. The Indigo League race was original. Orange and the later Johto just copied from it, adding in a few more whistles and bells.
I believe that you are correct, that if you dont see everything, then you cant base your opinion on that matter. But you [and all other Anti-Anti-Pokemon sites and people], ironically (oh, the irony of the thing!), dont do that. You think that all sites have no or made-up reasons [and bloody pictures], so you chastise us on things that some dont have. Ignoring the minority is no way to gather up strong, unbreakable support. Facts beat the opinion, and thats why your counter-arguments crumble in dust; they are simply opinions.
A poll once taken on AOL Kids Only (yes, I did go there) asked kids what, in their opinion, was the best Power Rangers series was. The answer, of course, was the latest one, Wild Force, because it looks cool and has good graphics. The storyline still remains the same, but they have cooler looking things. Thats what Pokemon does.
By watching a few episodes, its more than enough to know. Besides, AAP does it all the time. They frequently overlook the real sites and just attack the gory sites and figure than the ones with only reasons fall within. That isnt right. And you cant express your opinion by disregarding the ones that dont have bloody pictures. Its what AAP commonly does, and why we continue to fight against this.
Just because one [documented] person hacked an AAP site doesnt mean that were all bad. Oh, one young male driver crashed in a car accident. Now all males are bad? Some [male drivers] are crashing, so we should raise insurance rates for all males? No, since youre a girl [Ashley], you dont get to. Im a male, and I dont think so. Besides, with the threat of being hacked into (Oddishs and Poke-Lovers United), we dont sit around and whistle. We go on the offensive. This is the offensive. Its common sense.
Its true. We usually do not attack you. We attack your site. Thats why it was hacked into. It may not have been good to do, but it was better than doing nothing. I know that this will raise your will to fight, but hey, AAP does to. I was thinking of dropping out of making new content and then...I saw lethal AAP sites. It got me back on track. It undermined what you were attempting to derail - all Anti-Pokemon sites.
Why do you think that Anti-Pokemon will bring down PKMN? We are hacking at its base: now 351+ Pokemon in the new release of Pokemon Advance. Is that weak? Is that attacking a weak cartoon? It most certainly is not. We are advancing against the base of rock that has kept it together. We are destroying it, by not chipping away at it, but by freezing the rock. Ah, the destruction is amazingly cool.
Its the crew in Japan that will ultimately decide, but the public opinion will heavily influence that. If, say that they hate cars. Will Japan continue to produce cars? Yeah, sure, if they [Japan car companies] want to lose money, and go under. By creating AP sites, we are turning the tide of public opinion. It does matter whether there will be more haters than lovers or vice versa. If sales do not meet expectations, then they will stop producing them. Ever heard of Pokemon Mini? I didnt until somebody told me. Its all public opinion and supply and demand, and AP is help fueling that in a negative way for Pokemon.
Those are the facts, the arguments of the Pokemon hater, against the only real AAP site. Mystified? Dont be. Feel that Im wrong? Talk smart in the book or Ill total your whole message illustrating the fans dilemma.
