    Why is Pokemon the best anime seller at Amazon?

    Why is 'Pokemon Movie 8 - Lucario and The Mystery of Mew' the best anime seller at Amazon?

    Click here to see Amazon Top 10 Anime Sellers


    Reasons why you should be unhappy with your purchase:

    a) Pokemon tv series sucks as does most videogame adaptations

    b) Pokemon fad died many moons ago.

    c) It's a movie spinoff for crying out which are notriously bad in almost any case, how many movies will people keep buying until they wake up and realise they are funding the development of yet more crap?

    d) Your giving the anime companies the wrong impression,

    e) Are you so dum you need to spoon fed the same repetitive crap in hope you might percieve this as learning, education material i think not.

    f) It can cause seizures as seen on tv

    g) Viz never gave us 'Grey: Digital Target', a crime that deserves exceution at the hands of pokemon masochists.

    Conclusion


    If i find anyone on this board that has bought 'Pokemon Movie 8 - Lucario and The Mystery of Mew' i will go berserk and release a fury of turn based attacks.

    Now give me your worst...

    Big deal. So a franschice you don't like has alot of fans.

    You're quite wrong about these "facts" anyways.

    I bought the 8th Pokemon movie, although I got it at Target instead of online.

    Are you going to throw a hissy fit now?

    Becuase Pokemon is arguably the only anime that has become mainstream enough that even (non-anime liking) parents and adults know a lot about it from their kids/the news/whatever.

    Pokemon is still popular. It just isn't all over the place like it used to be.

    And be VERY careful what you say. There are a lot of Pokemon fans on this board who will correct you in whichever way they see appropriate. (we're almost as vicious as the Power Ranger fans)

    I've seen it three times in Japanese before I got the English DVD.
    Now let's see you go berzerk!

    I rented it every week before getting the money to buy it. It was THAT good.

    And I don't think you should call people dumb if you can't spell it.

    Anyway, back on topic, I'm glad to see that Pokemon is still able to sell as well as it is. How are the sales of the collection DVDs?

    I guess no one has realised:

    a)i was using extensive sarchasm when i said ' i would do my worst'

    b) causing unneseccary umbarrasement to themselves

    c) feeding the problem of bullying and assault

    d) actually learnt anything from this thread

    It sickens me to think that anyone who bought such a product could be over the age of 10.

    I think my next thread should be why are most anime fans idiots.

    LOL

    Why so? I was in 7th grade, or age 13, when I started to like it.

    I think your next thread should be about how most haters of a certain fanbase are more immature than the fanbase they claim to be childish.

    And be VERY careful what you say. There are a lot of Pokemon fans on this board who will correct you in whichever way they see appropriate. (we're almost as vicious as the Power Ranger fans)
    Wanna bet? :anime:

    And one of those "idiotic Pok&#233;mon fans" actually gave the Lucario movie high marks in a review. I wonder who?

    Anyway, I don't really see a need for this thread to actually remain open at all.

    And if you really want a laugh, Pok&#233;mon is second only to Gundam (all of them) as my favorite anime of all time. Wrap your brain around that one.
