Uh...no Keonyn. Randomly going off on Canada just because I happen to be Canadian makes him a troll.

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart did a whole bit with it Laughing and used clips from the first pokemon movie (I think), but thats besides the point. For once 4Kids did something right with there crappy scripting, for those who have seen it know what I mean.

The first one? Where 4Kids rewrite the God and Existentialism message to be about "war is wrong" despite the fact they were at war in the movie and completely botched their own rewritten message?

...There's political joke in there somewhere, but I'm not going there.

Should have quoted Naruto or some other shounen or a hotblooded super robot about never giving up your dreams and stuff while he's at it. "We can turn this 10% into 100% with courage and dreams"


NEVER GONNA HAPPEN!

Though if naruto was released in 1995, then it would have been a possibility.

However those times belonged to pokemon.

Ironicaly i was there while visiting a friend over the weekend. I caught that line immediately of where Cain picked it up since as everyone knows i am a rabid pokemaniac.

I have to suspect that his kids have to be pokemon fans like myself for a politican to use one of it's lines, cause it would be very over the top if he said he was a fan of the series. Then again I'm 28, about to be 29 in April, so i cant judge.
