korrina is such an underrated character

ight yall. korrina. one of my favorite side characters in all of pokemon. next to serena this queen was my IDOL growing up. hg had me begging my dad for roller skates for WEEKS only for me to break my arm in less than 20 minutes.

i have many reasons why i love her. to get this outta the way bc it ain’t rlly a good reason but her outfits ATE. like her little sports dress OMG its so cute bro. and she got that locked in fit vs the normal fit oooohhhhh i see youuuu. but genuinely those glasses were fiyaaaa. AND THE GLOVES OH MA GASH ITS SO CUTE.

also her dubbed voice actor has the cutest voice ever. like she’s js so cuteeeeee.

now. her story arc in XY was SO GOOD. AND I NEVER SEE PPL TALK ABT IT. i love thinking abt how she and lucario had to grow to mega evolve. also it wasn’t js a “ok lucario time to get stronger so we can do this” but instead it was “ok we both need to grow to get this” it’s easy to put all the work on the pokemon but a true relationship is in fact growing TOGETHER. which is also probably why i love ash greninja sm is bc they had a bond bc they worked hard with each other.

now ik ik ik lucario is such an overused pokemon. like oh you need a strong battler? js stick em with a lucario. but icl yall lucario is one of my favorite pokemon. like he’s so coollll. i also love seeing the different personalities of each lucario and thats one reason i love korrinas lucario is bc their dynamic is very much siblings vibes. i mean they literally grew up together ofc they’re so close. broooooo lucario is the goattttt.

i also loved her helping ash with his lucario. loved that the brought her back in JNs.

also, such a funny episode is when the gang stays the night at their castle house thingy before ash and korrina battle and team rocket steals the scroll and when they get it back the grandad reads it and it’s js stupid stuff like “brush your teeth” like ik it wasn’t actually that funny but i giggled through that whole scene every time i watch it.

anyways. this didn’t rlly have much of a point besides the fact that korrina is such an underrated character.

why the fuck will my nails not stay on my fracking finger

ight yall ik this is probably a rlly common question but i js genuinely am loosing my will to live. i have tried everything in my heart and soul and my nails still will not stay in my fingers longer than 3 days.

i legit love doing my nails but it ruins the whole process if i can’t keep them on. i dont know what im doing wrong ive tried everything. so ima js spend my last will to live on typing out my whole nail life story and seeing if yall will help me.

- i use cuticle remover the night before and file and clip them.
- the next day i’ll file and roughen them then scrup my hands w dawn to make sure they’re dry.
-i’ll use dehydrator the best thing ever made and primer.
-ill add a thin layer of glue to my nail and flash cure for 60 sec. i use the aprés extend gel
-i then file my tip (una gella) and add a glob of gel to that before flash curing again. i’ll do my whole hand and then do a big cook for 60 sec using the aprés BETA lamp

then i’ll yk painting and file and shape and all that. but like. i can’t see anything im doing wrong. like genuinely. but i’m on the last wire. i will jump off a cliff if i don’t figure this out so please for the love of God someone help me.

do ppl rlly hate ash greninja?

ight yall i was watching my king titanxowl and APPARENTLY THEY ERASED ASH GRENINJA????

guys ik ik this is such old news but give me a break i was not out here paying that much attention to JNs lol. but basically if u don’t know what im talking abt there was a flashback to kalos in JNs where they showed ash and alain’s battle where they js completely erase greninja ash form. (last slide) which lowk made me mad. not for too important reasons. i get the hype of it. it does up his power bc the fact that he would have been able to do that wo his bond would be insane.

maybe it’s nostalgia speaking but it made me so angryyyyy. like it was annoying broooo. it def felt like they were tryna lesson ash’s bond w greninja bc the whole point of bond is that it ups a pokémon’s power BC them and their trainer were so connected. like why would they give us three full seasons of a show just to erase all they built up to 😭😭😭 my opinion also needs to be taken w a spoonful of salt bc XY is my fav show and greninja is the GOAT (yes i admit it also annoyed me bc his bond form is soo coollllll) but idk it’s js annoying to erase all of those years 😭😭😭

and then today i saw a post on the official pokemon subreddit of this person hating on ash greninja???? like charizard spent his aura. time for someone else bro. and also sceptile. homie forgot a move bc his heart got broken ok he got all the aura farming he deserved after that 😭😭😭

like this persons whole point was that ash greninja was a mistake bc it took glory away from other aces. bro what? ash’s aces had plenty of glory. lucario, charizard, infernape, THEY ALMOST ALL GOT A MOMENT.

like omg i was so mad 🙄🙄 but i genuinely want opinions now. (mb i did not shut up lol) like i want to hear if ppl actually don’t like and greninja and why.

idk man.

i can also give the links to the videos i referred to if yall want em.

also ive tried posting this five times PLS AUTO MODS WTOP REMOVING ITTTTTTTTTTTTT

why i think i didn’t enjoy JNs as much

honestly, i think i was so sick of how goofy it was.

don’t get me wrong. i love the goofy side of ash. i think its nice to have a mix of locked in and goofy. but thats the thing.

before ash was like 40% goofy 60% locked in. specifically kalos ash was such a good mix of nonchalant and chalant. like it was the perfect amount of aura farming and silly.

then we got sun and moon. which was fine. i don’t hate it. i rlly like sun and moon. i don’t blame ash for choosing a vacation after years of fighting towards smth. and the silly goofy ash felt earned bc he had been so locked in during XYZ.
and at the end of S&M he locked in a bit more. he did beat the allegations 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

but then JNs was announced and i was like “ohhh yay ash is getting back on that grind. he finna lock in”

haha.
NOPE.

i remember watching the first released season of the dubbed JNs on netflix and being like “haha maybe they’re js having a smooth transition. maybe he’ll start aura farming later on 😅

NOPE.

well. i take that back. he did lock in eventually. JS 130 EPISODES LATER.

like guys we had our silly willy ash in sun and moon time to get a bit more locked in. and don’t go yapping at me. i love having silly ash moments. it’s js that it was constant 😭😭😭

like when ash had his final battle i was like “did i skip an extra season or smth?” bc it was weird seeing him locked in.

like yes i love having funny moments but pls let him aura farm every once and a while.

idk. it js felt like a let down going from XYZ ash to JNs ash.

IM NOT SAYING I HATE JNs AT ALL. I DONT HATE A SINGLE SEASON OF POKEMON EVER (well black and white was a bit rough) but it js felt like a let down seeing such a childish animation 😭😭😭 still love ash tho js yk a bit of a let down on first watch.

sometimes i wonder how much of a difference it would have been if ash wore pants instead of shorts.

or maybe its him loosing the gloves. cus right when he got those johns back he locked tf in and started frying. idk man.

there’s no way ash is 10

ight yall ik i post too much but i started thinking abt this and can’t stop.

there is js no physically possible way ash is still 10. ignoring the fact that there are 7 shows before journeys, and js focusing on alola/JN but BURNET AND KAKUI HAD TIME TO FALL IN LOVE GET MARRIED GET PREGNANT AND HAVE A BABY ALL BEFORE ASH TURNED 11??????? THAT IS PHYSICALLY NOT POSSIBLE.

also lei looks atleast 9 months old so since ash left alola till they visit in JN that is atleast 18 months (9 months pregnant and 9 month old baby) so then if there are 36 episodes between the start of JNs and there alolan return episode plus the time ash spent off at home then that means time at home + start of JNs (36 episodes unless im wrong and i may be) = 18 MONTHS.

now we dont know how long ash spent off at home but i googled it and google is never wrong. they said it was a bit more than a week. so then unless im dumb (maybe dont trust me my math grade is a 68) 36 JN episodes equals abt 18 months…….

THEN ASH SHOULD BE LIKE 60 😭😭😭😭

i may be making my self look dumb af. idk if i am. if i get comments that are tearing me up abt my bad math then im deleting this 😂😂😂

i am hopping on the train that each episode is like a day so ash would be like 15/16.

but ik that logic isn’t logicing either. it’s js this dumb pokemon timeline 😂😂😂

yall pls let me know w a full proof theory lol this isn’t a stable idea i js didnt want to do my biology prep.

ash being the GOAT

bro the amount of absolute AURA emanating off of ash in this scene is actually insane. TRY AND TELL ME HE DONT HAVE THAT DAWG IN HIM. LET ME HEAR IT. THATS RIGHT. U CANT.

broooooo. watching this episode for the first time had me checking the series title cause i was like ARE WE SURE THIS IS THE SAME SERIES THAT HAD ASH LOOKIN LIKE A 9 YEAR OLD AND FILLER EPISODES GALORE?

like he truly feels sm like kalos ash. homie was FIRED UP.

his battles were soooo goodddddd. like this is probably his best team i have to admit. personally xy is my fav but like this team one the world championship so ig i can’t argue that. if only we had ash graninja back. i would have loved to see ash WHOOP alan. LIKE PUT CHARIZARD IN 👏THE 👏 GROUND.

BROOOO AND THE AURA WHEN HE FLIPPED HIS HATTTTT IK IT WAS GOING DOWNNNN.

anyways had to rant abt that 🫰🫰

u/No_Will_5644 — 7 days ago

i feel like we were robbed of this duo. like tell me they wouldn’t be besties. dawn would pull up, serena would learn she traveled w ash, she would get nervous, she would warm up to dawn bc dawn would be rlly friendly, and then BOOM. besties.

like they love performing. they love pokemon. they love pretty dresses. like they would be a power duo. and hot take idk but i feel like dawn is a very close female version of ash in a lot of ways. idk they’re both rlly extroverted. i think that’s a big reason the fought. but i feel like serena would be drawn to those ppl which means her and dawn would be total besties.

idk. i may be reaching cus they’re my two fav pokegirls besides like shauna and korrina. idk why those two are my second and third it’s so random. but yeah. dawn + serena = besties

u/No_Will_5644 — 8 days ago

i genuinely love their chemistry. like everything abt it but one of my favorite things is how they js out here acting like a couple. like hello??? i LOVE when they do this cus it’s js so cuteeee.

also, i may be desperate and making this up, but ash genuinely looks at her w so much love and joy. like look at him. brooooo may this love hit me like a speeding van.

u/No_Will_5644 — 8 days ago

the love i have for pokemon performing is so concerning. like i legit could rewatch them for hours on end. THEY. ARE. SO. GOOD.

first, some of the best XY AND XYZ episodes are serena’s performances. argue w the wall. the prettiest one is her free style against aria. that flower. BRO. I 👏CANNOT 👏EVEN 👏

but my favorite is def the one where eevee falls. ik ik. i swear i don’t hate eevee. it’s actually one of my fav pokemon (leave me alone im basic) but the visuals for this one were GORGEOUS. like stunningggg. and serena’s growth in this episode. omg. i cantttttt. she matured so much since her first one. she encouraged her pokemon and they finished w a bang!!!!! so good.

the outfits are another reason i love it sm. shauna’s is probably honestly my fav fit her little cropped short sleeve cardigannnnnn omg it’s so cute. or serena’s JN performance outfit is so good as well. but the og is js so her.

now. one thing that makes me so mad. there is no way that serena lost the crown TO ARIAS BORING PERFORMANCE. LIKE ILY ARIA. BUT U WERE WALKING AROUND A STAGE. DID YALL SEE THE ABSOLUTE CINEMA SERENA WAS SPITTING OUT???? THAT FLOWER. ARIA DID NOT BEAT THAT. bro. serena out here being robbed fr.

i love as well how the performances js show the beauty of pokemon. i can battle with them but also look at the art these moves create. LIKE YES. also serena’s cute little rivalries. like yes miette rage bait her. i don’t hate serena at all ive loved her since day one. but her reactions?? 10/10.

a core memory for me was being 10 years old and watching the one eevee AMV to the sped up version of die young. and then i realized the og song isn’t sped up and a piece of me died.

anyways. serena was my everything as a kid. i wanted to be a pokemon performer so bad. we had this little area behind my childhood home and i would go out there a make my own performances. geez. i’m old.

anyways. that’s all i had to say. js had to rant abt the gorgeous performances.

u/No_Will_5644 — 9 days ago

THE XY AND XYZ INTROS ARE SO GOOD. LIKE ACTUAL BANGERS.
obviously before i rant the og is the best and was the best one to have in ash’s final battle i get that. no need to argue fo that one lmao.
anyways. this set of intros (im thinking the dub fyi) is as so frickin good. like all of them were a banger. i’ve never genuinely wanted to listen to an intro outside of watching the show except for these three. specifically the second one. LIKE HELL YA “UR JS A KID ON A QUEST TO BE THE BEST OF THE BEST” omg it’s such a banger 😭😭😭😭

and the guitar ohhhhh ma gosh i thought i was bouta ascend. like it fits XY ash so well and the absolute AURA they all have in the 3rd one for XYZ. do 👏not 👏even 👏get 👏me 👏started 👏

anyways. it’s js so good. probably my personal favorites. i think the second XY one is my fav tho. it’s js so good.

u/No_Will_5644 — 10 days ago

LOOK AT HOME BOYS EYES. AINT NO WAY HE AINT FEELING SMTH. ash’s eyes sparkle for very few things. but one of them is in fact serena 😂😂
