Pokemon is actually very quotable

So, short version... you know what happened with Herman Cain, if you don't go here to see it in it's awfully delightful glory

Here is the thing though... songs from Pokemon, actually can make some very nice Presidential speeches... such as:

"I wanna be... the VERY best. Like NO ONE has ever was.

Catching them (the terrorists) is my real test... to train them (the american people, so they can be better qualify for jobs) is my Cause!

I will travel across the land. Searching far and wide... Each Pokemon/American citizen to understand The power that's inside (us?)

Pokemon, its you and me
I know it?s my destiny
Pokemon, oh, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend

Pokemon, a heart so true
Our courage will pull us through

You teach me and I'll teach you
Pokemon, gotta catch 'em all

Every challenge along the way
With courage I will face
I will battle every day
To claim my rightful place

Come with me, the time is right
There's no better team
Arm in arm we'll win the fight
It's always been our dream
"

And so on and on etc etc...

So, really, not a bad model!

There is only one anime I will ever reference when it comes to speech-writing and that is TTGL, thank you very much.

Edit:
Though the republican party could probably make great use of the Team Rocket Theme.

Edit 2:
They could even use the uniforms with the R on them.

Man, you could totally create a presidential bid based on nothing but anime quotes.

"THIS CAMPAIGN IS BUILT ON..... LOVE! AND! PEEAACE!!"

And every public appearance and speech will end with the words "See you, Space Cowboy."

Chaaaaaange into digital cham-pions toooooo save and de-fend the WORLD

...Though I guess that applies more to Anonymous? Sorta?

(why is it so hard to find a version of that song that isn't accompanied by Sexy Renamons)

I'm gonna focus on the fact that you think Renamon is sexy....

Also, that video is just another brick on the wall of why Japanese anime openings are better than American Anime Openings

That song sounds familiar...

*some youtube searching later*

Please tell me they didn't use that song in all the seasons >_>

Being immune to nostalgic bias, I can say that song is BAD

Haha like, even a more general reference to Pokemon would have been more dignified than quoting directly from the stupid song at the end.

Digimon really was a poor man's network Pokemon option. I too suffered through a childhood devoid of Cartoon Network and was forced to watch Digimon. HOWEVER, in retrospect I would say for the first few seasons or whatever it actually is a much superior "pocket monsters" show to Pokemon. For one thing, the monsters had personalities. Also, it was actually pretty damn violent at times. Shit often got real, monsters often died. So actually it's a million times better than Pokemon.

Nique · 12-09-2011, 05:16 PM

For being a totally more weird and terrible idea that was a rip off of so many genres including but not limited to Pokemon, Power Rangers, Tron and, I dunno, Little Orphan Annie, Digimon was actually really good.
