4chan's commitment is remarkable.

[–]Imnotevenangry 33 points34 points ago

I've seen quite a few internet gems, but none of them match up to 4chan's.

[–]CederDUDE22 45 points46 points ago

le gems. Amiright?

[–]Willyjwade 1 point2 points ago

I... I think you need a slowpoke of your own for that comment.

[–]Imnotevenangry 1 point2 points ago

Tell me what was said?

[–]Willyjwade 2 points3 points ago

He said he didn't think 4chan used le it is more of a 9gag thing.

[–]brandon0220 93 points94 points ago

But, was this really that relevant to Pokemon?

[–]DuncanDonutz 28 points29 points ago

Agreed. This should be posted in /r/4chan or /r/classic4chan.

[–]Jojopolo 24 points25 points ago

It already has been a couple of times.

[–]freklz 16 points17 points ago

More than a couple. It's posted there every month.

[–]Valorum27 3 points4 points ago

More like every week.

[–]Willyjwade 2 points3 points ago

Daily?

[–]genna_TALL_warts 2 points3 points ago

Hourly.

[–]igge- -1 points0 points ago

Secondly, I don't think it's that remarkable.

[–]ApolloArrow 0 points1 point ago

I think this is the fourth time I've seen this.

[–]TheInternetHivemind 3 points4 points ago

Only 4th ... lucky bastard...

[–]scrambles57 5 points6 points ago

Or even /r/anime (since the post was technically about Code Geass)

[–]HBNichols13 2 points3 points ago

In my opinion this sub needs some rule changes.

[–]shark_vagina 16 points17 points ago

A Slowpoke with Geass must be the scariest thing ever.

[–]Mileskitsune 5 points6 points ago

what is geass?

[–]HarmonyChains 18 points19 points ago

It varies from person to person.

[–]Mileskitsune 3 points4 points ago

thanks that helps. i thought it was a typo. for anyone who doesn't like googling, its a anime/manga about a "britanian" prince who via some "contract" can now command anyone to do anything he wants to once per person. thats wikipedia anyway

[–]IonicSquid 16 points17 points ago

Well his answer isn't wrong. Code Geass is the anime, Geass is the supernatural power (in the anime) for which it is named. Which power Geass gives its user does vary from person to person in the anime's mythos.

[–]Mileskitsune 1 point2 points ago

so what would a slowpoke's geass be? making every kernal of popcorn come out perfect?

[–]Denchura102 0 points1 point ago

Is that what he needs/wants?

Example...

C.C.'s Geass power was making everyone love her because she was a lonely orphan...then things went bat shit crazy for her...

[–]Kieo 5 points6 points ago

Aside from that remarkable reply by HarmonyChains. It's a really good anime about an excommunicated prince whose trying to get back at his father whose the emperor. It has great plot twists, mind games, and is just all and all a really good anime up in my top 10 easily

[–]Erosion010 33 points34 points ago

The dates are circled. So you know that this must be a two year old repost. But here it is, anyway.

[–]KeybladeSpirit 28 points29 points ago

  • Guy posted promising a two year wait before he posted his Slowpoke
  • Guy delivered. Screenshot is taken and posted somewhere.
  • Two years later, the screenshot is reposted.

Guys, I think we've got a genius on our hands.

[–]starships_lazerguns 17 points18 points ago

Dude, that's my birthday! Why is this important? I dunno, thought it was interesting.

[–]Good_Guy_Graig 24 points25 points ago

/r/mildlyinteresting

[–]starships_lazerguns 14 points15 points ago

I can already tell I'll like that subreddit.

[–]Good_Guy_Graig 14 points15 points ago

It's surprising how interesting this stuff barely is.

[–]starships_lazerguns 4 points5 points ago

I feel kinda lame because anyone would call this stuff pathetic, but I am interested in it....

[–]Good_Guy_Graig 3 points4 points ago

I know right? If you think that's bad, try /r/mildlyinfuriating

[–]starships_lazerguns 1 point2 points ago

Oh no.... I have to click the link now...

[–]zeert 3 points4 points ago

I like /r/mildlyinteresting because sometimes I just want to say "Huh, that's neat" and move on.

[–]starships_lazerguns 0 points1 point ago

That's pretty much how it is.

[–]TheNessman 0 points1 point ago

its so mild. pschye it has all the circle jerking of any normal subreddit.

[–]starships_lazerguns 1 point2 points ago

lovely

[–]Mightymaas 0 points1 point ago

Mildly?

[–]starships_lazerguns 0 points1 point ago

Yes, mildly

[–]lalaleasha 1 point2 points ago

I just got lost for over an hour, keeping in mind I was in bed ready for bed about five minutes before then. I have found it to be super entertaining, cheers!

[–]bananawaffle99 0 points1 point ago

That's the day before my birthday! Happy day before my birthday birthday!

[–]starships_lazerguns 1 point2 points ago

Happy birthday day before my birthday!

[–]fail_girl 5 points6 points ago

Am I the only one that's upset that OP didn't wait until September 28 to post it, so it'd be another two years later?

okay, probably just me :'(

[–]reese_ridley 6 points7 points ago

it's ironic because this post is over two years old

[–]IonicSquid 11 points12 points ago

Coincidental. It's coincidental that the second post happens to be almost two years old.

[–]twicevekh 1 point2 points ago

The use of words expressing something other than their literal intention. Now that, is Irony.

[–]subarash 2 points3 points ago

fag level: same

[–]KLOUDZiNC 0 points1 point ago

this is a repost of a repost, from a past repost

[–]larpas 1 point2 points ago

Wait, the slowpoke meme didn't start on reddit?

Say what you will about 4chan, they are dedicated.

[–]srhelfrich -1 points0 points ago

On my cakeday!

[–]sangeli 0 points1 point ago

I don't think MS paint comes with most computers so very few people could doctor a picture to create that. Oh wait...

[–]strobelight317 -1 points0 points ago

That is absolutely fantastic!

[–]radioactive_toy -1 points0 points ago

I swear, in the past 3 months I've seen this about 8 times. We've all seen this. Quit fucking posting this.

[–]grilledpandas 0 points1 point ago

Dedication.

[–]Aetheer 0 points1 point ago

For anyone who hasn't watched it yet, the show they're referencing is Code Geass, an absolutely incredible anime that you should watch. Right now. Yes, I mean you.

[–]CommanderTWaffle 0 points1 point ago

Knew I'd seen it before

[–]ElAvestruz 0 points1 point ago

I don't get it.

Is that from the Pokemon anime? I stopped watching...well about 9 years ago, back when it was Ash, Misty and Brock.

[–]KiiLLBOT 2 points3 points ago

No. It is at the very beginning of Code Geass. The top picture is C.C watching Lelouch & Suzaku playing as kids.

The bottom picture is of slowpoke with a geass eye.

[–]NewDrekSilver 0 points1 point ago

Ok, I was just wondering because it was on the Pokemon subreddit, and Slowpoke is pretty popular trend so it's just kind of weird that it would get upvoted so high.

[–]aloneparoo 1 point2 points ago

Nope, it's from an entirely different anime. The only reason this is relevant to pokemon at all (and even that is a stretch) is that the person used a picture of a Slowpoke.

[–]Somedamnusername -2 points-1 points ago

Because nobody has ever seen this ten zillion times.

[–]TheNessman -2 points-1 points ago

LOL can't believe this was posted to /r/pokemon

A word of advice, don't go on 4chan. it's a really scarring and horrible place. It is not good and don't go there :)

have a good day!

[–]RD_Is_Best_Pony -2 points-1 points ago

I thought old threads get 404'd over time?

[–]acelluloid 6 points7 points ago

They do, it's called a screencap.

[–]RD_Is_Best_Pony 2 points3 points ago

How did anon reply to it 2 years later?

[–]jayz98z 8 points9 points ago

He wrote down the number, and then typed it in.The original was 404d, which is why the reply number is just greentext, and not a link.

[–]t0takeke 3 points4 points ago

also, the top picture was taken from easymodo, a 4chan archive
