Remember this dude? From way back in episode 1, flying over the rainbow. He is, in a way, the summation of the entire Kanto and Johto arcs. Ash started as a newbie, lost and confused in a strange world much larger than himself. After taking his first big step, befriending Pikachu, he looks up to see an unexplained mystery Pokemon. A living legend, that not even Prof. Oak can tell him about. Now, many episodes later, having placed in the Kanto League, he takes on the Silver Cup. But before that, what does he do? He protects the very flame of Ho-oh, no longer an apparition to be seen in the sky, but a very real and very tangible presence, that he is on level with. He chased down his dreams, and in in position to make them his own.
and then the shit brain goes and loses to someone running 3rd gen Pokemon. Asshole.
So, what do I really think about Ho-oh? I hate the fact that it doubles up on Legendary Bird typing. I've said before, in my Sunflora post, how I think there should be a Sun or Light type, and Ho-oh should be of that type.
in any case, it looks really cool, like a giant mythical legendary Phoenix, so that wins it some points, but Lugia is still much more awesome, and the damn redundant typing makes me angry.
Overall: 6/10
I refuse to eat my words from the lastz post!
