I don't get it... So, if you go to the participating McDonalds in Japan, they'll send you a pikachu via wi-fi to your Japanese DS Pokemon game?

**Valigarmander** · 08-02-2010, 05:05 AM

^ Yep.

Robotazy · 08-02-2010, 08:54 AM

But Ash's Pikachu would be Uber Tier.

No one can handle the intensity.

***CaptHayfever*** · 08-02-2010, 12:36 PM

Anyone with Yellow already has that.

And remember, "I'm-a Charizard, number, well, six."

Vgfian · 08-02-2010, 01:01 PM

^Maybe, but there's no remake called pikachu yellow or something.

Plus I think this may help confirm the theory that Ash and Red are separate characters altogether.

ONLY DUMB CHILDREN BELIVE IN THAT THEORY.

This sounds pretty cool. Now to get it, all I have to do is go to Japan and buy a Japanese pokemon game and a DS, get my pikachu, and come back and enjoy it, even though I can't speak Japanese and it'll suck to plan the game that way. But it's worth it, right?

Unless they had a Magicarp.

Yes.

Vgfian · 08-02-2010, 04:48 PM

^^ Or possibly even a Magikarp.

Except that the Pikachu in Yellow behaved exactly like Ash's, & it even was overpowered like Ash's.
Also, Red's team in GSC is Ash's team! (except for the Espeon)

And remember, "I'm-a Charizard, number, well, six."

**Loot** · 08-02-2010, 10:03 PM

Where the hell is my surfing Pikachu

**X-3** · 08-02-2010, 10:06 PM

^You can catch Surfing and Flying Pikachu in the Yellow Forest Pokewalker Course. They gave it over Wi-Fi awhile back. Yeah.

Not exactly the same, after all, Ash let the 3 kanto starters go.
Also, Red is one of those silent BA types; Ash lacks the capacity to shut up.

So, Ash may be a far, far, less awsome ******* child of Deadpool's? I guess the healing factore could be screwing with his ability to age and mature properly.

-You stupid dog.

Ash is almost an opposite of Red, as far as personality and battling style.

Red is a determined to-win powergamer with a bunch of incredibly powerful pokemon.
Ash is determined to-win, but like an idiot releases 90% of everything he gets, talks endlessly, lets his Pikachu own him instead of the other way around, and generally relies on deus ex machina (like pokemon moves breaking the rules of pokemon) to win.
