For some reason the '90s are almost always overlooked in favour of either the '60s, '70s or '80s. Pffft, I say! Maybe those decades did rule, but so did the '90s!
Post one reason why you think the '90s ruled per post (once in every 10 posts), and then maybe we'll have a nice walk down memory lane as we reminisce about the awesome-ness of the '90s!
I'll start:
1. Tamagotchis!
There is a sound reason the 90s are overlooked: They were inferior to the 80s.
2. Gruffi Gummi :gruffi:
3. Top-Notch Cartoons! :kaoclove:
I have no idea what to say.
But I can tell you a couple of reasons why the 90's failed!
- Shell suits
- Boy bands
I was in them, so there is that.
The 90s ruled because of repeats of 80s cartoons.Quote:

Also, Pokemon. Oh and Cardcaptors! Wait, was that 90s?
The only thing good about the 90's was hip hop.

SM:TV live, N64, Pokemon cards, Ps1, Gameboy Advance, Spice Girls, Steps, Boyzone, S Club 7, Barbie, Teletubies, Crystal Maze to name a few.
I believe this thread has already been done recently in the form of the English Football Thread 2007-8 after the season finished. Though the re-runs of 80s cartoons is a valid point. Family Ness, etc.
My God, that thing is scary.Quote:

OHMAHGAWSH, none of my Pokemon got passed level 25 because my Gameboy would always run out of battery before I got to that point! :(
Even though I'd never be caught dead using a Legendary Pokémon in a battle, Shaymin is by far the cutest one from 4th gen.Quote:

That thing is damn cute mind. Cutest legendary evar imo.

Iuno, Mew and Celebi are pretty cute too.Quote:

Kakuna? I want to smash it with a rock. Metapod too :tongue:
Kakuna is a bender. I mean, them and Metapod were the most useless Pokemon ever. Imagine a battle between a Magikarp and a Kakuna. Sweet Jesus.
Mew is gorgeous. I would kill for a real Mew.
I'm assuming neither of them know tackle?Quote:

Well, obviously, the best thing about the 90's is that I was there... aswell as Red Dwarf, Doctor Who: The TV Movie, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and some good Disney movies such as Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Lion King, Toy Story.... and of course the birth of Pokémon.

The idea that Kakuna and Metapod can't attack is retarded. :P If you evolve one from a Weedle/Caterpie, it keeps Tackle and String Shot. There's really nothing wrong with them at all. xP
They were useless in the Anime. Is the Tentacool and tentacruel episode still banned?
Shaymin is the ugliest thing I've ever seen. First and Second Gen. Pokémon for the win!
Oh! That 70's Show first aired in the 90's too!

The 90's had everything.
That's true. Butterfree is definitely better than Beedrill. But Charmander can kick Brock's rocky ass if you don't waste time raising lame Bug Pokémon!
Charmander learns metal claw at level 13 in LG/FR. Metal pwns rock. Therefore you don't need a wimpy Butterfree.
Well i was talking about original red/blue

[q=Blue Harvest]Charizard pwns Jynx. Type advantage ftw :p[/q]
To be fair, Charizard is Fire/Flying, and Jynx's Ice attacks would pwn the Flying-type of Charizard. Too bad for Jynx that Charizard is faster and would KO it before the poor Jynx could even do anything. Assuming similar experience level, of course.
Don't forget about Friends!Quote:

Okay.
DDR. Butterfly. Youtube it: you will find varying degrees of fail.
(+ also dub in life wins but there isn't a music vid m'afraid)
I love aqua too. I loved barbie girl so hard I bought a used cd at hastings, and then I loved the entire cd so hard I bought their second cd, but it wasn't as good. I should listen to it again now because my music tastes have probably changed to where I like more of the songs on it.
I also have eiffel 65's cd and I love all of it too. Supposedly Blue takes its sample from a song called something like 'I died in alberquerque', or so my happycore friend told me several years ago. I could never find any evidence on google at the time to the proof, but google didn't have quite as much on it back then. i think I'll look it up again.

Actually, that isn't exactly true. *whips out the before-mentioned self-proclaimed competitive battling expertise card*Quote:
Originally Posted by Denmark
It's true that the maximum speed of Jynx is 317 while Charizard's max is 328, but no two Pokémon are the same. Not every one will reach their maximum potential in any given stat. That is why they applied Natures to all Pokémon in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald on, so people who actually cared can take advantage of that to raise them to full potential in a given stat.
Now, it's also true that in a type matchup, Charizard's Fire/Flying has the definite advantage over the Ice/Psychic types Jynx has. Fire is strong against Ice, but Ice is strong against Flying, though this is negated to a neutral weakness by the Fire type, which is resistant to Ice.
However, in a flat-out battle, someone who uses Jynx intelligently can surely give Charizard a run for his money. You're forgetting some of the moves Jynx has that gives her (all Jynx are female) an almost unfair advantage against Charizard. Jynx learns Lovely Kiss, which can put Charizard to sleep so Jynx has a chance to use one of the most useful (and annoying) moves in the game-- Calm Mind. This raises Special Attack and Special Defense by one level per use. Now, sleep doesn't last forever, but with any luck you can get at least 2 Calm Minds in before Charizard wakes up. When it does, the move any smart Charizard user would use would be a strong Fire type, because that's what would normally hurt Jynx pretty bad despite her very nice Special Defense stat. However, after a couple of Calm Mind buffs, Flamethrower or Fire Blast won't do that much, and now you have a couple of options. You can a) put Charizard to sleep again so you can use Calm Mind again or even Dream Eater, a move that is already strong as it is, but is even stronger because of Jynx' Psychic type, which will also heal you while hurting Charizard in a pretty bad way, b) attack with Water Pulse or Ice Beam, which have chances of added effects, or c) if you're taking the no-attack route, Mean Look + Perish Song, then switch out. However, if this is one-on-one, that would be a dumb move. I personally would use the Lovely Kiss+Calm Mind+Dream Eater combo.
Obviously, I'm going off of Diamond/Pearl statistics here, because I couldn't find stats on Serebii.net on Red/Blue/Yellow Pokémon. Also, most of the moves I mentioned for Jynx are either newer moves or TM-only moves, but since when does anyone use uncustomized Pokémon in a competitive battle?
Bottom line: If you go by straight-stock statistics and facts, yes, Charizard would win because of it's type advantage over Ice. However, a well-trained and customized Jynx can run circles around Charizard before it's even able to attack twice.
Sometimes I scare myself when I look back and realize I actually went out of my way to learn this stuff. I'm such a nerd. :p
Who gives a crap, Pokemon sucks balls.
*Ignores the above comment*
Now that I think about it, wasn't fire weak against ice in red & blue? If it was then a Charizard vs. Jynx battle would be a lot more even.
I don't think so. I'm pretty sure it's been the same all along.Quote:
