Banette and Phantump's one are very unsettling. They indicate inanimate objects and deceased souls can become Pokemon. That brings up the question what even makes a Pokemon a Pokemon in the first place. I used to think that Pokemon was just another name for animals or creatures in the Pokemon Universe, but now non-Pokemon can become Pokemon like it's some kind of afterlife or reincarnation. Some interesting ones: Yamask "Each of them carries a mask that used to be its face when it was human. Sometimes they look at it and cry.", Dusclops "Dusclops's body is completely hollow - there is nothing at all inside. It is said that its body is like a black hole. This Pokémon will absorb anything into its body, but nothing will ever come back out." There's also this Kadabra one which made me go WTF "It happened one morning - a boy with extrasensory powers awoke in bed transformed into Kadabra." So you mean Kadabra used to be human boy?! O_o

Clown nightmares are more common than you'd think. The real life clown serial killers contributed as well. I'd advise you not to watch It, basically the scariest Monster Clown film in existence.

Yep I understand. Essentially, "Death is Cheap". Death doesn't hold any weight in DB anymore, since you can just come back to life with the Dragon Balls. Not to mention even when you're dead, you still exist and can come back and forth from the afterlife. Dragon Ball Kai even referenced that in the lyrics of the theme song "Nothing ever dies, we will rise again!" The explanation for that was the Dragon Balls can only revive groups of people if they die within a year. Majin Buu destroyed the other planets millenia ago. At least with Majin Buu everyone was dying so fast they might never get a chance to wish anyone back since Piccolo could die and it did become more urgent, and eventually the Earth's Dragon Balls got destroyed along with the planet.

Yeah we did. I think Phoenix was in that conversation as well. Mhm, biggest problem with GT was it became the "Goku and Pan" show. Every other character got ignored, Gotenks didn't even make an appearance, and Vegeta was only there to fuse with Goku. It was just plain stupid Goku got turned into a kid when everyone else is so aged, not funny at all and made for some very awkward situations. Baby Saga was the only one I was okay with, since the Z-fighters on Earth got some focus, and was the only villain who wasn't a lazy recycle of past characters (Android 17, Shenron). Pan was very bratty, and she gets all this focus even when she isn't that important to the plot. In Super they at least indicated she's very strong even as a baby and can already fly. She might be able to turn Super Saiyan and hopefully won't be such a brat. I wasn't too fond of Super 17 Saga because it just lazily reused every single villain that ever appeared, and has some dumb logic of Super 17 somehow jumping to Super Saiyan 4 level just because he absorbed some Kamehamehas. But the Shadow Dragons had to be the stupidest, "negative energy" from wishes manifested and somehow made them very strong. Omega Shenron being at Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta level.

True. He's got no comparison to Piccolo, who has some of the best development for any character in existence. One of the many reasons I loved him so much. And the transition was perfect, how he was less evil than his father, softended when he spent time with Gohan, treated him like a surrogate son, and after fusing with Kami his personality became like a benevolent guardian. He's Gohan's big green uncle, that was a very nice duo in the anime. By the Android Saga Piccolo seems to become best buds with Goku as they trained together while preparing for the Androids.

Oh cool. I'm glad you liked Beerus. I liked his concept as well. Since DBZ already introduced Gods, which the Saiyans had surpassed, it's nice to have a true God-God that is really at the top of the power scaling food chain. The God of Destruction thing felt like a breath of fresh air, and was even a legit reason for Goku to become a God as well. Yeah I liked how Beerus filled in all of the "behind the scenes" events in DB like sealing Old Kai into the sword, and ordering Frieza to kill the Saiyan homeworld.

Yep, you'd think they'd go with "Ms Mime" or something. That naming has pretty bothered me since I was 9 when I first heard of Mr. Mime. I gave Surf to most of my water-types, it's just so useful. Pwns any rock, ground, or fire type. True, it's more useful against NPCs rather than real players. I used to have Flash on a weak Pokemon, Bellsprout I think, so it wasn't too much of an issue.

I abuse Pain Split way too much, lol. Same. Perish Song was the only way I managed to KO this annoying Snorlax that was owning my team. Wobbufet also has a fair share of fun moves like Destiny Bond. Have you tried having troll combos on your team? Putting a hazard out like Spikes, and then using something like Roar or Whirlwind to keep inflicting damage on every member of the enemy team?
