I laughed so bloody hard. Good ol' House. Now we know what he plays on the DS we saw him playing on a long time ago. ;P

Even though I know some Hoenn ones
stuff people play these days, I'm glad I could enjoy the good times of Pokémon ;_;
But BD, you weren't even born when pokémon Red and Blue came out
You were raised with 5189358230958430 pokémons.

It's the nostalgia speaking. The new pokemons are the same as they've always been. For better or worse.
Well, maybe partly, but mostly I hate the new ones because they make evolutions out of evolutions out of evolutions out of evolutions..... it's like playing Inception the video game.
It's butt hurting annoying and I'm not amused by that.

Apparently I've been mispronouncing Arceus this whole time.
Gen3 and Gen5 had no new evolutions.
Those random squiggle mons are epic

I don't watch Pokemon so I've actually never heard it. I just assumed is was a hard 'c'.Zekira wrote:

Also if you wanna be picky, Gen 3 DID have 2 prevolutions (Azurill and Wynaut).

Ah, that at least gets you out of the 'influenced by stupid' and 'stupid' department, lol
I only watched the movies (the JP ones, then the NA ones after), so yeah...
Oh and don't ignore the comment

wait, arceus created 3 matter?
*looks it up*
dialga, dragon/steel
palkia, dragon/water
giratina, dragon/ghost
thus
steel = solid
water = liquid
ghost = gas
holy shit, pokemon is smarter than we thought
I only know 151 Pokémons and Smugleaf.
And that's a really cool reference, from House MD even.

House has so many video game references, man.

This only deserves to be in the Youtube thread. Pokemon is mainstream, why are you surprised that something mainstream is aware of another thing that is mainstream?
I wonder what kinds of mythological beings they'll use next.
It's only a matter of time before they make Touhou references.
My life will then be complete.

Pokemon is pop culture in America. It's mainstream. It always has been.
Touhou is not mainstream in America.
You're all stupid.

What fraction of House's audience do you think would actually be familiar with 4th gen Pokemon? I'd think it wouldn't be much.
It doesn't need to be. My argument still stands.
The first 151 pokemon I'd say are mainstream. Maaaaybe a few of the next 100.
3rd gen and on I'd say are fairly obscure to the general public.

The argument here is that House used Pokemon in a way to be semi-applied to real life and sarcastic rebuttals which make very little sense but make people still amazed at how people look at Pokemon in a different way.
Your argument is about how Pokemon is pop culture in America, there's no correlation.

There's a complete correlation. Something pop-culture referenced to pop culture. It happens all the fucking time.
This won't happen to Touhou because nobody who makes this sort of thing knows what the fuck Touhou is. You guys are really making very little sense.
And saying the newest Pokemon aren't mainstream because you don't notice them much doesn't mean they aren't. Can you name every celebrity? Just because you and your small group of friends don't know about/discuss a subject frequently anymore doesn't mean most other people don't. Pokemon is still a kid crowd thing and the current generation of kids are well aware of it. And before you say something like "well kids wouldn't be watching House" please to reevaluate your concept of the word "parent."

since when are people fucking hipsters?
off to off-topic with you

Whatever, it's not worth getting into a debate over. It's a humorous in-joke for those familiar with the newer generation of Pokemon, and I don't think there's anything wrong with getting some enjoyment out of it. I won't comment on whether or not it should have got its own thread (though I agree that it should have at least been in Off-Topic).
It's like when someone on a TV or movie mentions your hometown... or is that just me?

Did you just ignore my first paragraph?
I suggest you read it again, then actually think. Sure, pop-culture reference pop culture all the time...that's got nothing to do with anything that's been said.

wait, there are more than 100 pokemon?
Actually, Pokebis brought the discussion back to the original topic of House MD referencing Pokemon.Lilac wrote:

Most of the first page was a discussion only about the Pokemon games/series and personal correlation towards them. Pokebis's post was about the original post although also making the point that this thread shouldn't even exist due to the topic's lack of originality or surprising features which would usually warrant a new thread for a subject and that the post should have instead been made in another thread which is entirely purposed to avoid these kind of shitty threads being made.
His debate or discussion is just as relevant as any other discussion in this thread. Except the one I'm currently discussing, being a discussion about the mechanics of discussions.
Yo dawg.

Arceus was always described as the Pokemon who made other Pokemon, thus being God. Most people familiar with Arceus are aware of this and this is not a new viewpoint. God being used in conversation in real life is very common. There's nothing to be amazed by.Lilac's pseudo-paragraph wrote:

jon stewart (comedy central) commented on this and it was pretty funny, but unfortunately viacom took it down.
