Please, elaborate on wishiwashi! I am learning a lot about pokemon as the mother of a small child who declared himself meowth, so I am a pokemon immigrant.

Okay so most Pokémon fish are limpid and dull but let me tell you about Wishiwashi

So Wishiwashi is a weak-ass pathetic craven fish whose entire emotional range is "sobbing animé tears", which it does at all times. Imagine the weakest, most useless little animé anchovy of all time, and then imagine it trying to exist in a world where ecoterrorism is rife, ghosts are real, the horrors of the deep (above it on the food chain) have magic powers, and sometimes you might need to fight god. Imagine what that looks like.

Imagine no more. Here it is:

BUT THE THING IS

Pokémon all come with an Ability - a superpower they innately have. Some are absurdly powerful (there are gods who change the weather with their very presence), some are quirky (there's a horrifying bear with Fluffy - so much fur it takes half the damage from physical moves but twice the damage from Fire moves), and some are useless (Run Away, the Ability that lets you run away from wild Pokémon.)

Wishiwashi has a unique Ability. It is called Schooling.

Basically, as long as its health is above 25%, it schools with other Wishiwashi into the shape of a single giant monstrous fish. They arrange themselves into a fish shape, and move like a single Pokémon. This makes Wishiwashi so powerful it becomes immune to multiple other moves. It becomes so powerful its base attack jumps from 20 to 140. It becomes so powerful it's known as the demon of the sea. Imagine what that looks like.

Imagine no more. Here it is:

And then you take its health down to 25% or less and its friends freak out and everyone leaves and it's back to being a crying useless wimp.

I love Wishiwashi

The sketch of this idea was 80% done by November 2023 but I could only fully complete the illustration in the latest days because many things happened and getting ill by the end of the year certainly didn't help. It was about time I had something new to show from the Soul(mate)s of Light AU!

Destiny bonding with a Shiny Latios has been in my ideas list since 3 years ago, but it got reinforced thanks to Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs and the disclosure of Ash Ketchum's animé arc. Long-story short: Destiny rescues a rare Shiny Latios in her original adventures in Hoenn region as a Trainer. Grateful, this rare Pokémon offered flights in the region anytime she would play the Eon Flute. She nicknamed him Delta due to this reason and others! Later as an adult, she's one of the fewest Rangers capable to use Involiths. Whenever her Fearow's flight power isn't enough, she can summon Delta's help with her Capture Styler!

Do not repost. Do not modify. Always credit me!

2023年09月02日 Agatha Christie au Japon

Il y a deux ans, j'écoutais l'intégralité des albums d'un musicien japonais nommé Tatsuro Yamashita. Il est connu en partie pour avoir composé des chansons pour de nombreuses publicités et de nombreux dramas pour la télévision japonaise. Les albums qui sortaient à partir des années 2000 étaient majoritairement des compilations des différentes musiques qu'il avait composées pour les programmes de l'époque.

Et une musique que j'avais beaucoup appréciée provenait de l'album "Sonorite" sorti en 2005 qui s'appelait "Lucky Girl Hanataba Wo".

Malheureusement, je ne peux la partager ici car elle n'est pas sur Spotify et on ne peut poster des musiques dont on n'a pas les droits sur Tumblr... La musique est disponible sur YouTube, mais il ne s'agit pas de vidéos officielles et elles disparaissent aussi vite qu'elles apparaissent.

Cependant, je me suis rendu compte bien plus tard que cette musique avait été composée pour un anime qui adaptait les romans d'Agatha Christie, avec Hercule Poirot et Miss Marple. J'ai fini de le regarder aujourd'hui, et je veux vous en parler un petit peu !

Sorti en 2004, c'est un dessin animé produit par OLM, un studio d'animation japonais qui a notamment travaillé sur... Pokémon ! Quant au compositeur, il s'agit de Toshiyuki Watanabe, qui a travaillé par le passé sur l'orchestration des musiques du jeu vidéo Shenmue...

Autant dire que Tatsuro Yamashita + Pokémon + Agatha Christie + Shenmue c'est un combo qui je dois l'admettre m'a rendu super curieux de regarder cet anime, surtout que je n'avais jamais lu aucun roman d'Agatha Christie auparavant.

Il s'agit d'une adaptation un peu libre de différents romans d'Agatha Christie qui avaient soit Poirot soit Marple comme personnage principal. Mais dans cet anime, les deux personnages vivent dans le même univers ! Cependant ils ne se croisent jamais, car les épisodes étant des adaptations des romans, l'histoire reste fidèle (même si simplifiée je suppose). Pour faire le pont entre les deux, un personnage a été inventé de toute pièce: Mabel ! Elle est la fille du neveu de Marple, tandis qu'elle sert aussi d'assistante à Poirot ! Elle est aussi accompagnée de son Pokémon... enfin de son canard de compagnie Oliver.

Le principe est simple: un meurtre, une fortune détournée ? Poirot ou Marple est sur le coup ! Comme les histoires suivent souvent la même structure, ça commençait à tourner un peu en rond vers la fin, mais c'était tout de même très sympa ! Hercule Poirot agit comme s'il avait toujours une longueur d'avance sur le scénario, ce qui rend les moments où il est plus vulnérable vraiment trépidants.

Comme Mabel a été rajoutée comme fil conducteur, on sent qu'ils ont dû faire en sorte de lui donner des trouvailles importantes pour qu'elle soit utile aux différentes histoires. Cependant, elle apporte aussi une progression (en tant qu'apprentie auprès de Poirot) qui est la bienvenue dans une série qui se contente d'adapter des histoires qui n'ont pas vraiment de lien entre elles.

J'ai d'ailleurs été surpris de deux choses: tout d'abord, certaines musiques dans la bande-son du dessin animé référencent les génériques d'ouverture et de fermeture créés par Tatsuro Yamashita ! On ne peut pas dire que ça arrive souvent... Enfin, les personnages importants sont ré-introduits à chaque épisode, avec leur comédien/comédienne de doublage ! C'est également très rare, on dirait une série télévisée classique où le nom des acteurs est constamment montré. Comme on peut techniquement regarder les épisodes dans n'importe quel ordre (sauf ceux qui sont découpés en partie), c'est une bonne idée pour s'assurer que chaque épisode peut être le premier (même si les premiers épisodes sont écrits dans un but introductif).

L'anime n'est malheureusement jamais sorti en dehors du Japon, je l'ai donc regardé avec des sous-titres anglais créés par des fans sur Internet. Si vous voulez entrainer votre anglais (ou votre japonais) et que les sous-titres ne vous dérangent pas, vous pouvez regarder les épisodes sur YouTube avec le lien ci-dessous:

Vous pourrez ainsi découvrir les versions courtes des musiques de Tatsuro Yamashita !

Qui sait, peut-être que je finirai par lire un des romans originaux un de ces jours...

So, let’s talk about Yuya’s name, since apparently there is some interesting stuff going on here.

The Kanji for 榊, sakaki, refers to the sakaki plant, a Japanese plant that is believed to be the tree where Yata no Kagami (Mirror of Yata) was placed on.  

The Kanji for 遊, yu, is the standard Kanji for Yu-Gi-Oh! protagonists, and it means to play. 

The Kanji for 矢, ya, means arrow, likely alluding to arrow-shaped scales of a Pendulum Card/Zone. BUT.

Ya here likely refers to hamaya, which is the name of the arrow used by Minamoto no Yorimasa to vanquish a demon that infested royal palace, and made the Emperor ill. The bow is called hama yumi.

But, but. ARC-V generally uses more specifically Buddhist inspirations. Let’s dig a bit deeper.

In Buddhism, there is a tradition that the golden bow and arrow held by Umarekkya, one of the Four Nightfellows who follow the Blue-Faced Vajra, is the origin of the demon arrow, and the Dragon God Demon Arrow is sold at Rinnō-ji in Nikko, where the Four Nightfellows are enshrined.[1]。

The “Nightfellows” here refer to Yasha, the Japanese spelling of Yaksha. Vajra here refers to Vaiśravaṇa, who is known in Japan as Bishamonten. 

https://www.nikkostation.com/taiyuin-temple/

Umarokya’s statue can be seen here. His name is written as 烏摩勒伽 in Kanji, and うまろきゃ in Hiragana.

Information about this guy is very scant.

(Of course, there is also the arrow from Jojo, Yuya’s VA is Giorno after all.)

Anyway, the likely meaning for both is likely this:

Since then, hama yumi have been used in Buddhist and Shinto rituals of purification (i.e., Shihobarai, the Purification of the Four Directions). In Japan, it is believed that merely the twanging of its bowstring will frighten away ghosts, evil spirits and negative influences from the house. A miko will carry a hama yumi and a set of hama ya as part of their religious regalia, while back in Feudal Japan, they were used quite literally in defence of the shrine or temple.

As a result, hama ya (破魔矢, lit. 'evil-banishing arrows'), decorative arrows, are sold even today at shrines as Engimono (good-luck charms); smaller replicas have been placed in shrines and people's homes. It is believed that even just one Hama-Ya which has been blessed by a Shinto Priest carries great spiritual power, will bring protection against the forces of evil, and for purification, and they are also believed to have the ability to attract vast good fortune. Hama ya and hama yumi are often given as gifts to celebrate the first New Year of a male baby's life.

https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%A0%B4%E9%AD%94%E7%9F%A2

Chinese wiki page goes into more detail about various practices involving this.

Kanji for the Dragon King Hamaya is 龍神破魔矢.

Addendums:

**Other meanings of Yuya can be found here.

**Arrow here is also a pun, arrows fly in an incline, or an arc, so this fits with the arc theming going in ARC-V.

**Arrow pun is the likely inspiration of Shingo’s initial Dart Deck, but also Shinji’s Battlewasps.

**The Kanji ya can also mean night (etymologically it seems to be same root as Yami/Yomi), which is likely an allusion to Z-ARC’s weird Samael connection, though it might be referencing to specific Yaksha here.

***Tomatos, and eggplants are nightshades, but the Japanese name of the family has no reference to “ya” (it is called  ナス, nasu, which means eggplant).

**Sakaki is a decently common surname, it seems, though it is more frequently used in animé than anything. Weird to have Shinto symbolism in a heavily Buddhist inspired show, but I guess the flower theming here is because of En Flowers, since Yuya is technically a manifestation of En Flowers interacting with Odd-Eyes.

***Sakaki name also seems to have a common earthy theme, because it can be read as slope tree. Giovanni from Pokémon’s Japanese name is Sakaki, for example. This might be further evidence towards my personal conspiracy theory of Odd-Eyes originally being intended to be EARTH attribute.

**Yuya in Gongenzaka’s Deck is symbolized by Wakaushi, who is supposed to be Yoshitsune, and Reiji’s Deck’s Pendragon seems to be his symbolization of Yuya (joke is Pendulum Dragon->Pendragon, and its Japanese title is Supreme Dragon King), who is supposed to be King Arthur of course. Neither of them have allusions to Yorimasa, which suggests the ya Kanji here is more because of the practices involving hamaya, not its origin.

**Apparently:

Hama-yumi replicas are scale versions of the sacred Japanese bow, coated with urushi, wrapped in fine rattan and accented in gold leaf. They are displayed in a stand, along with two arrows tipped with yanone (traditional warrior tips); one representing male and the other female, yin and yang (vermilion signifying male energy (yang), and black representing female energy (yin)).

This might be where ARC-V producers got the idea of symbolically associating the Pendulum Arrows with Zarc/Ray, and their respective counterparts (but this theming seems to go with other heterosexual couples of ARC-V, see Leo/Himika, Masumi/Hakuto etc.)

***Red-Blue theming going with the het couples is probably a reference to Urashima Taro, though the same theming also occurs with Reira/Ayu, and of course Ayu’s literally references the story. Though I guess their case still works, since Ayu’s Deck includes Aquaactress Tetra, who is a female fish playing the role of a male.

**Hamaya is the inspiration of two DM-era cards as well, Anti-Magic Arrows, and Spell Shattering Arrow.

C'était vraiment cool comme parti-pris éditorial de ne faire dire aux Pokémons que leur nom de Pokémon.

Au niveau mémorisation : c'est du matraquage typique des animés destinés à un jeune public.

Au niveau interprétation : n'importe quel prof d'art dramatique dira qu'il y a une infinité d'intonations possibles et donc d'intentions, de couleurs, à donner à un seul mot. "Pika-Pika !", ce n'est pas "Pikachuuuu...". Là aussi, l'exacerbation des émotions par le visuel (et non l'éditorial) est typique des mangas.

Au niveau spécisme : si les Pokémons sont domestiqués, c'est certainement parce qu'ils ne maîtrisent pas le langage. Or, ils excellent dans beaucoup d'autres domaines, à commencer par de sacrées attaques, mais aussi l'ingéniosité ou l'empathie. Mais pas de langage, pas de récit commun. Pas de récit commun, hop chacun dans sa pokéball. Mettre ça en lumière pour les faire passer pour une sous-espèce méritant d'être domestiquée par jeu, c'est quand même pas mal.

Ça doit faire 25 ans que les Pokémons existent. Il est à peu près certain que quelque-part dans le monde quelques personnes humaines soit atteintes de ce syndrôme, variante sélective du mutisme post-traumatique. Répéter uniquement son propre prénom avec différentes intentions. Ou bien, le nom de l'être aimé et perdu.

A bien y réfléchir, ces personnes pourraient traverser leur vie à peu près normalement. Ça ne devrait pas être beaucoup plus handicapant que le bégaiement.

C'est sans doute même très amusant. Hervé. Herervé. Her. Hervé. Hervé. Véééé.

A nous!

La génération sacrifié qu'on l'appelle. Y a pas de meilleur terme pour la désigner. Celle ou vous pensez être capable de tout mais inéluctablement, chaque porte se ferme devant vous et devant un avenir que vous ne vouliez sans doute pas de toute façon.C'est la génération qui a connu les cartes pokémon, celle qui a grandit avec des dessins animés tel-que scooby doo ou les totaly spy. C'est cette même génération qui a connu les attentats à leur arrivée en fac, qui a du faire face aux très nombreux mouvent de grevés, aux confinements et à la guerre à la porte de l'Europe.

C'est cette même jeunesse, qui tentent de sauver cette terre qui est pourtant déjà condamner quand on voit les multitudes ouragans, feux de forets etc.

Tout ça, sans doute dû à la bêtise humaine, à celle de nos ancêtre qu'on aime trop pour leur en vouloir. Alors cette société préféré rejeter la faute de toute cette foutu mascarade sur ces jeunes qui n'ont rien demandé. Qui ne tente juste que de survivre dans un monde qui ne veux pas d'eux.

I am still recovering from that ending and it's been WEEKS.

I think I'm going to be the same. I'm certainly going to be thinking about it for a while

I mean... Fuck me but this is a good game??!

It's making me angry with the Pokémon Company all over again, actually. There are like four different companies who make/produce Pokémon, and the one with the most power is the one cracking the whip to churn em out fast so all the lucrative money making stuff like merch and the animé can dance the capitalist dance. But look at this!!! LOOK AT THIS GAME. The heart and skill that went into this one is spectacular, and if only Nintendo could have done their usual trick that they pull all the time with Zelda ("We are sorry to announce that we are pushing back the release date for a fifth time because we've just had a really sick idea for how to incorporate some worldbuilding and we want the game to be perfect ^⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠^") this game would have been utterly incredible.

But like... this game has stuff to say, anyway. It's a game about trauma, look. Team Star, the fates of Miraidon and Mabbostiff, Arven's entire arc, Turo's choices and attempts to - well. No spoilers, but YOU KNOW.

And then! All tied up one again into the ongoing Pokémon theme of environmentalism! Violet ends with a rousing speech about how, if we all fight for what's right and love each other, we can beat climate change the unfortunate choices of Pokémon scientists and forge a bright future! Biodiversity is good and invasive species are bad! And also we should all have picnics with our friends more! And also the point of life is to find your own meaning in it, the meaning that's true to you, and then go and live the hell out of it! And also there's a Pokémon that's two mice now and it fucks behind your back to become four mice!

What a game. What a beautiful, brilliant game. I fucking loved Legends Arceus, but this, this I love even more. This is the most I've loved Pokémon in years. And there's still the entire post-game to play. Fuck me I love it.

Hello, again!! The fourth part of "And So The Adventure Begins" is here! I thank everyone for your patience!

It continues Ash's dream as of Takeshi Shudo's 1997 novel of the Pokémon animé series and goes back to the dinner talk in the Ketchum family. Destiny was unaware of this experience that Goh had back in the Project Mew days.

The story continues on the fifth part that I'll try to show it once it's ready, please stay tuned!

Side note: I got asked about "when will you reopen the character asks" and for now I don't plan to do it just yet! And once I do, it's for a limited number of questions per user and for a total in my inbox.

Do not repost. Do not modify. Always credit me!

Apparently Digimon Ghost Game’s main writer is Masashi Sogo, one of Tomioka’s Pokéani AG/DP alumni. Not only that, Shinzo Fujita is also one of the primary writers.

Seeing this is so bizzare to me, especially considering another major AG/DP writer, Aya Matsui, was one of the writers for Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS (haven’t checked if she is around for GO RUSH!!).

I guess except Shoji Yonemura (current Pokéani main writer) all the good writers of Pokémon Animé AG/DP are doing better stuff now (Yonemura also technically did the Shaman King reboot, so I guess he also counts).

(And yes, I’m aware in Digimon series Directors traditionally have more influence than main writers, this post is me being surprised about Tomioka’s gang being scrambled all over the place.)
