insaneladybug... Random thought, but it's odd to see Pokemon has the Y7-FV rating these days. I remember when the early seasons had the Y rating. Y7 is probably better for it, really.
And I have the problem that as I've been looking at my old Meowth plush and seeing the differences between it and the more accurate Build-a-Bear plush, I'm ... kind of wanting to get the Build-a-Bear one after all. I shouldn't and should just get ones I don't have in any form, but now it's kind of tempting. Then I also have the problem that I feel like it would be betraying the old Meowth plush to get a second one. **headdesk.** I probably won't really get the Build-a-Bear one, but who knows. The tail on the Build-a-Bear one is so cute! It really looks curled, whereas on the old plush they couldn't seem to figure out how to achieve that look. And the old one looks so chubby/stubby. I love him so dearly, though. My aunt gave him to me on my 16th birthday, which was one of the happiest birthdays I've had, for that reason and others.
I had a slight time of it getting into the swing of Johto, but after the first couple of episodes I watched, I found some that I liked a lot more and that felt more like the first two seasons in tone. Now I'm happy I got it and I'm back to figuring I'll get season 4 too. But beyond that, probably not, since I was so unhappy with how Team Rocket was written starting in season 5.
I also debate on what to do about Wobbufett. I've always liked him a lot, and I like him way better than Lickitung, but I don't know whether to put him in the fics or not. (I hadn't introduced any Johto Pokemon for the main characters because I was trying to keep the classic original line-up feel.) I always feel bad for him since Jessie treats him so rotten, at least in the older seasons. And I just saw the episode introducing him. It was kind of sad that Jessie didn't even get a chance to say Goodbye to Lickitung, and sad that Wobbufett was raised in a good home and then had to end up with crooks.
Then I'm kind of embarrassed to admit this publicly, but I enjoy that live-action Double Trouble and its human/catboy version of Meowth so much that I have a weird plunnie that won't go away involving Meowth stumbling into some mutagen Bebop and Rocksteady probably dropped and ending up mostly human, probably strongly resembling the human Meowth in the video, but still possessing all of his Pokemon powers and cat behaviors. Apparently mutagen does weird things to Pokemon. He is confused and initially freaks out, but quickly warms up to the idea. There is the retro-mutagen ray gun that can change him back, but he wants to have a little fun as a human first. I do not like humans turning into animals and sometimes animals turning into humans is also uncomfortable for me, but I can sometimes be intrigued by the latter. In Meowth's case, he already really thinks he's a human/has to keep being reminded he's a Pokemon, so it doesn't seem like much of a stretch for him to look the part. I've been tinkering with blurbs and one cracky one where he's trying to fool Ash and company/see how long he can carry on a charade before they figure out it's him. It kind of reminds me of Mr. Ecks toying with Illya in my fics. I don't know if I'll really do anything with any of the blurbs, but it's fun fiddling with them. I kind of wonder if I'd need to contact the person who made the video and mention I was inspired by the human Meowth in the video and would it be okay if I designed one who looked very similar to that one. I also went on dA to see if drawing human Meowths was common. I figured others would have done it, and they have, but I really raised an eyebrow that female Meowths are more common than male Meowths. Which is totally cool if it's some other Meowth, but I think at least some of the females were Team Rocket's Meowth. What? I know canonically Pokemon get called "it" (which I hate and won't do in fics for Pokemon whose genders should be known), but Team Rocket's Meowth is a boy. I think Jessie and James always say "he", even though I don't think Ash and company do. "It" is so impersonal. No pet owner in real-life would call their beloved animal "it."
Then I was fooling around on YouTube and stumbled on the information that characters get encased in stone in the Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction movie. I found it and watched that part. Team Rocket was clutching each other in terror when it happened to them. It was pretty heartbreaking. And Pikachu slowly dying in Ash's arms ... GAH. I loved the good Pokemon restoring everyone to life.
Speaking of restoring to life ... I'd better go bring James back by uploading the next chapter of my fic.
