True.
He was still smug as fuck, so that's why he was cool.
Because he deserved to be hated.
But he could take it.

Wrong he's just another shit adaptation of a decent game character. I'm glad he's gone.

>>32272935
I hope they do this, but if they don't I don't want to rise my hopes high.
It is been 20 years, despiete everything most 30 year olds are gone for good.

>>32272944
Red and Blue never had much of a personality in the games but whatever you fucking faggot

>>32272588
If your actually happy that Gary Motherfucking Oak was retconned then you're just a low test nu-male with shit taste.

>>32273078
Nah he is just 15 or something
Nobody older than 20 can hate on Gary, I am sure.
I bet he believes that faggot Barry of DP PT is goat.

>>32273078
>Gary Motherfucking Oak
Can you tell me what makes him so important? I want a real answer none of this memey 'he had 10 badges' shit. What is it that is completely unique to Gary that makes him a necessity, because I can't think of anything that isn't already standard for anime in general.

How does that work? Gary is like the entire element that made Ash into an underdog starting with the very first episode.

>>32273120
In the games he was the perfect example of how you shouldn't treat your pokemon
How is that not important?
While Silver is a complete son of a bitch and treats them as tools and just cares about the strong, Oak was more about WINNING at al costs, completing the dex but not seriously caring much for your team.
Ash always shown compassion and loyalty to his team, that's what made him a champion.
And that's what Oak says at the end, because your faggot ass just pressed A to skip the text.

>>32273120
He was ash's motivation, his goal (literally mocked him on a sign).

Yeah you can collect badges and the pokedex at a leisurely pace, but you know how Gary is going to rub it in his face if he lets Gary beat him

>>32273156
>In the games he was the perfect example of how you shouldn't treat your pokemon
Literally the only narrative on this in RBY is Oak making a quick remark at the very end of the game. Before that, Gary is presented as taking fine care of his Pokemon.

Ok whatever you say.
Maybe you should fucking replay fire red or green leaf sometime.

>>32273207
I did. And I did just that. Didn't you? Or did you seriously just play the whole game with the first 5 you caught + your starter?
Boxing Pokemon less suited for battle isn't some form of abuse.

>>32273156
>In the games
This is Green/Blue not Gary. I was asking about anime Gary Oak specifically. We actually never see if Gary mistreats his pokemon.

>>32273227
Also he's still around, which makes people's anger over Gary's absence all the more unnecessary.

>>32273227
We never see his pokemon caring for him like Ash pokemon care for him either.
And we see Ash beat a lot of near death situations (just sugar coated) with his team.
Meanwhile Gary always mocks Ash about how dumb he is for "having fun with his pokefriends"

>>32273107
I'm nearing 30 and I didn't watch DP or BW, started with OS and AG and came back with XY.

Gary had a shitty gimmick and his character went nowhere as a rival of Ash.

>>32273225
>Trapping Pokemon in a box for eternity where they can't interact with the real world isn't abuse

>>32273270

>>32273275
>Prof. Oak thinks it's bad to box pokemon
>that's why he sent out his aides to make sure your catching lots of pokemon

>>32273292
Active refers to not being a one off character anon

Even when Gary wasn't on screen he still made fun of Ash

>>32273280
Given that my choices are Gary, Shota and Alan, I'm going to go with

LEAF BLADO.

Notice how the dynamic with Shota is reversed, he is the underdog and OVERCOMES Ash for a brief moment, to force Ash into developing his Greninja bond.

>>32273296
>made fun of Ash
Is this why people feel his needed? The ashnime fans can do that themselves.

>>32273296
Well yeah Gary was the only constant "enemy" but not even an enemy, just a literal rival.
One of the few things Ashnime did right back then.
Team Rocket were the axctual enemy force, they were just super goofy and incompetent to feel like an actual treat after the SS Anne battle

>>32273275
You are literally using the same argument as the villain of the latest Pokemon games. I can't make this shit up.

Just because Tobias and BRAST BURN exist, it doesn't take away from how bullshit was that loss.

>Lose because Charizard fucked off.

>>32273417
How was Gary not seen? he was there like every 5 or 6 episodes
Richie was what, 2 times in s1?

>>32273262

Why does the anime still exist as it is anyway?
At this point it's not even an advertisement. It's actively going against what's in the games.

>>32273425
>Lose because Charizard fucked off.
This was honestly done better in the electric tales manga desu.
They both had Charizards and were battling but Ash's started to inflict serious harm to Richie's and wasn't listening so Ash used an item to pacify him but was immediately disqualified for it.

He got replaced by another character who isn't an over-the-top caricature.

>>32273425
Yeah and they drop salt on the wound when he finally tames Faggyzard LOL GOODBYE

>>32273468

Most of those were quick appearances or he'd get overshadowed by the villain of that episode. Functionally he served the same purpose as Bulk and Skull did.

>>32273477
They still throw in something every now and then. Wait until a new game is announced if it's a gen 4 remake we'll be seeing a piplup or something.

>>32273501
I can already see that he doesn't have his own car and a legion of fangirls before even leaving his hometown. I don't care how memetically awesome Gary is, that was just ridiculous.

>>32273506

So that doesn't count, got it.

>>32273529

Why should they? If they have no barring on the episode as a whole they don't count. Even more so this is a movie adaption, they only have so many minutes they can't stop to have a requisite 2 minute Gary mocking Ash scene.

>>32273578
Well you already won son
Gary, Misty and Brock fucked up so I'll just watch this train wreck without giving much of a shit.

>>32273547
I don't care what kind of world it takes place in, the human characters still have to act in a believable way.

Real talk: Gary improved dramatically as a character when they dropped these and started to actually focus on the relationship with Ash and their history. Which didn't happen until Johto.

"This character from the games doesn't have much of a personality. What should we do?"
"Just give 'em a stupid quirk, and call it a day."

>>32273623
I disagree.
They tried to make people feel sorry for Gary, which felt rather awkward to me.
Like yeah he is not to be hated to death, but he was a relief from the forced sugar coated shit everywhere (cops being super friendly, nurses that care too much about you, your team is literally bonded to you until death yeah too idealistic) and then Gary comes and shits on all of that with his cockyness.

>>32273671
>Gary comes and shits on all of that with his cockyness
That's equally as shit and vapid of characterization though. You shouldn't be praising that if you're not going to realize that it only has worth because everyone else is 'forced sugar coated shit'.

>>32273699
Only during first season
And anyways some chapters had Ash literally fighting for his life, particularly the very first one and the old age pokemon come to mind.

>>32272220
>unironically thinking it's a reboot
It's an alternate universe/canon/timeline or whatever you want to call it. Either that, or it's the same canon, with the events occurring at an unspecified time for plot convenience's sake.

>>32273726
>Only during first season
That was my original point. first season was shit because there was hardly any care for narrative or drama. Granted it didn't improve much and Johto did eventually leave it's biggest plot-point unresolved of course.

>Blue: Thinks he's better than Red, and that's all that was needed
>Gary: Not only thinks he's better than Ash, but IS better than Ash in every conceivable way – he has more badges than Ash, he has more Pokemon than Ash, he's got a driver's license, and he even has his very own legion of fangirls to cheer him on wherever he goes
>Cross: From how it looks so far, he might have traveled to Kanto from Alola and might have cleared the island challenge, which would give him not only more experience than Ash at the start, but it could also make him think he's better than beginner trainers and look down on Ash as a result
Personally, I think Cross might turn out to be a better character than Gary, you're not going to convince me otherwise at this time.

>>32273775
Well I haven't seen the actual ashnime, but BW really doesn't feel like a masterpiece compared to S1.

>>32273227

>>32274210

still not the anime so doesn't count. Which manga anyway there's three different canons there.
