  • Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
  • Commercial from the late 1990s, probably 1999. Recovered from VHS.
    User 'Franklint107' was kind enough to host the original MPEG file: www.fileden.com... (35.7 MB)
    Here is a Portuguese version of the same commercial: • Pokémon Live Commercia...
    Cropped with Mpg2Cut2, and thus the cut may not be perfect.

      I have an idea of how time travel could work without messing up the timeline
      The machine would take you back in time but instead of you walking among the past, you would be invisible, you'd be able to faze through things, and you will be able to fly through the air, and you also wouldn't be able to interact with anything physically, therefore you would never screw up the timeline

The whole storyline with Ash's mom being a former member of Team Rocket and dating Giovanni (and TBH I think they wanted to do a Star Wars twist with Giovanni being Ash's real dad) feels like something the original scriptwriter of the anime's first season wanted to do (he wrote a few Pokemon novels that included ideas he wasn't allowed to use on the show).
