For those who care about Pokemon
 

Ash's father was confirmed to be Giovanni, leader of Team Rocket, on the Japanease show last year, the U.S version should be dubbed soon, 4kids confrimed they are keeping it in the story.

I always suspected this, anyone else?

:o I never would have guessed that!!!

Not me! Of course, my head's been buried in Pokemon Crystal for the last umpteen years so.... :P

i never would have guesses it either....but i wouldn't go nuts about something that comes from this cartoon, according to this cartoon a pikachu can defeat a raichu, althiough its possible if the pikachu is in higher level, a pikachu can defeat a rhydon, and a charizard can evolve by just getting mad.....my point? this cartoon makes up a lot of crap..errr...things...i wouldn't expect it to be like that in the games...although i could be wrong, but i doubt so :lol:

Wow, I like how pokemon is getting a meaning now. Wait, does this some how remind you of star wars? lmao..

Very interesting. I haven't seen an ep of Pokemon since early 2002.

Well, seeing as Giovannai isn't in the series much anymore, and has only been in a couple hand fulls of episodes...... no.

I always suspected he was. It was kinda obvious =\.

something as cheesy as that had to come...

its the pokemon cartoon, most of it its cheesy

It would be better if Pickachu (sp?) was his dad.

yeah and his mommy would be brock... god, i hate that show...

Then avoid threads about it like the plauge, instead of comming in here and slamming it.

I'm indifferent to it.

i'm not slamming it i'm just saying that most of it its cheesy :D

sorry i didn't mean to annoy people, i just though that i could make a joke. Sorry

....
 

Shoot...Ash's father is team rocket's leader? Figures I guess...well now its ruined for me :D Not that it matters since I'm not a BIG Pokemon fan although I find Team Rocket amusing enough to watch the show once in a blue moon.

If this is true then kudos to 4Kids for not dumbing down or changing that point of the story in their version. That's a pretty bold move to make in a show for a younger audience.

Sayonara.

Amazing who would have guesses? Head of Team Rocket?! That's quite a suprise!

How was it revealed...? Does Ash know and how does he react???

And BTW I heard this rumor for years.. what the hell made ppl think of this connection anyway?

I don't really care about Pokemon but it's one of the shows I ended up having to watch when I was with my friends. I forgot what it was that made me think so, but I actualy suspected that connection when they showed those eps of mewtwo in the armor. X.x
