Now that I heard that Magma and Aqua were supposed to be one team, my headcanon ship of Archie x Maxie can be confirmed.

11:35 in the Adventures manga there's also an evil Prof. Oak wich is Sabrina's Kadabra disguised as Oak, and that design looks EXACTLY like that sprite! So it must've been taken from those early versions of the game or something

both team aqua admin shelly designs are 🔥🔥🔥 really cant decide which i like more

Minor thing about Pokemon Live. It was conceived by Norman Grossfeld, who was the president of 4Kids. The production itself was more of a 4Kids production and had no involvement from Nintendo, Game Freak, or the Pokemon Company. Though Ikue Otani was also involved, providing the voice of, of course, Pikachu. Also, it sort of contradicts the Japanese audio dramas about Team Rocket's origins.

Also Colress’s name being derived from the word ‘colourless’ is also denoting his detachment from the Team Plasma sages who all –save Ghetsis– have colour-themed names: Gorm (‘blue’ in Gaelic), Bronius (derived from ‘brown’), Rood (‘red’ in Dutch), Giallo (‘yellow’ in Italian), Zinzolin (French for a particular shade of reddish purple), Ryoku (from ‘ryokushoku’, a shade of green in Japanese)

Fun Fact: Jessie should have just went into a modeling career 😮❤

my theory on the imposter oak part was going to be related to the GOLD/SILVER plot point at the radio tower. Except... we rescue someone else in the final release. Could it have originally been oak that was kidnapped as he was a radio DJ in these games?

Another interesting note about Colress being neither a good or a bad guy, is that in the anime he is on Team Plasma's side helping them take control of Reshiram with his Pokemon mind-control device, but after they got caught and their plan fails, Colress declares in an almost nonchalant fashion that his next invention is gonna be a device that will allow people to communicate with Pokemon. That clearly shows that Colress really doesn't care about either side, good or bad, as his mind control device and therefore his partnership with Team Plasma, was just another job for him.

Someone making the Pokémon anime was insanely thirsty for Giovanni

Love how the thumbnail is just two characters in revealing swimwear, giovanni specifically being oiled and buff and both are from pokemon

My favorite Evil Team is Team Flare, it’s just unfortunate that they almost never used Fire type Pokemon

i'd not call team star an evil team, since they are not actually evil

No, no, wait... where was the Kangaskhan/Cubone connection confirmed?

Had no idea Saturn was a guy lol

Bro that clefable was freaky lookin

Saturn wasn't called a girl in Pokémon Arventures. It was Diamond and Pearl Adventure that happened in! Despite the nearly identical names those are very different series (also i think the mistake only happened in English). I don't think you know what irony is. You keep calling things ironic when they're not. "double trouble" isn't a concept unique to Team Rocket, my man. Colress, not a bad guy? He was going to freeze over the entire region because he wanted to see what would happen! That's pretty damn evil. On the other side, Star isn't an evil team at all so idk why they're on here. Impostor Oak is in one of the comics, How I Became A Pokémon Card. But he wasn't a villain, oddly enough! I've heard of Team Kings! I know that manga! Oh come on there's no "main" manga. Adventures is just the most popular. Man, remember when we used to get a bunch of manga every gen? I feel like Aqua and Magma's original team has something to do with the sunken ship, meaning Wattson was probably involved as well as Ship, and Cozmo's father. Ever seen the footage of the oroginal first meeting with Cyrus? Seems originally you were supposed to meet him on Floroama Town and he had a more more positive and encouraging attitude. He also had encounter music that was quite jazzy, though this wasn't found until recently.

Kangaskhan being a Cubone evolution feels fitting to me.

One of my favorite facts is that Archie and Maxie are canonically queer and have feelings for each other, which was confirmed by Pokémon's official Twitter in 2016. Also, Ghetsis is one of very few canonically physically disabled characters in Pokémon, which isn't great because he falls into several harmful tropes.

Not one that’s exactly a secret but I still think it’s cool that your basically a Team Galatic Grunt in Legends Arceus Cyllene is the ancestor of Cyrus and she’s your boss and after beat Volo and go on the roof with Cyllene and Komado Cylenne basically tells you that she’s the founder of Team Galatic and you are a member of the Galaxy Expedition Team which is the predecessor to Team Galatic
