• The Misty girl isn't that hot. Nerds just gasp at seeing a woman's legs.

• HAHAHAHAHAHAHA (to comment about Ash's weight)

• Meh, the porn will tide me over

• Look at this. I want you all to look at this so that you can see that cosplay is the absolute worst thing that a nerd can do. If this looks like fun to you do us all a favor and kill yourself.

• You are gonna die a virgin. You do know that don't you?

• I tend to find it depends where in the country the con is located. on the West cost there are all about big skits. East cost its all about the runway shows. I like the skits way better.

• I agree..that was just too sad to watch

• I once saw a video of someone being beheaded in Iran. This actually distrubed me more.

• I was going to say something snarky, but then I got to #9, and now I just want to applaud you for being at peace with your overwhelmingly nitpicky nerdiness. This is a nerd rant that acknowledges what it is. Thank you.

• You know, I consider myself a massive nerd. I read manga, play tons of video games, watch anime to an extent, and wear clothes that pretentiously profess my love of all things Super Mario Brothers... But I have always found cosplay pathetic and a bit creepy. These people should channel their love of Pokemon by playing one of those 4000 games of it that are out there...

• It would have made my day if Misty called out a Fire Blast attack and some random fucker in the crowd just hurled a molotov cocktail at Rattata

• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJbB8Gb55tM Here have some more, filmed sideways, so have a headache too.

• I'm just so...confused now. About everything! I just... Why were they... ...What?

• Someone else already holds the exclusive rights to that particular travesty: http://forgottenjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/blog9-barbra-streisand.jpg

• For realz. I've seen some pretty good Pokemon cosplays, including a very impressive Lopunny and an amusing as fuck Missingno. Why these two? Ah well. As a cosplayer myself, I'm just congratulating them for making and wearing fursuits. They're ridiculously complex and are generally so hot to wear that you have to rig up battery powered fans inside them...

• See, now if the skits done at the con I normally go to were that entertaining, then I might actually go to the contests once in a while...

• Two type disadvantages? All I'm thinking of is normal attacks not being very effective against rock types... Is it bad that I kept thinking things like, "What? There's no such thing as 'Claw Attack,' and Rattata can't learn Double Slap!"

• Rattata's costume is pretty bad. Aerodactyl's is better, but still not real good.

• Is it me or did the fella in the hat look a little...special. Like he was in a band. Syndrome of A Down's.

• Nope. That's for the after party yiffing. -shudder-

• The nostalgic nerd in me squees in delight at such an analysis. I agree with you entirely, even on point 8, even though I'm a hetero-female, I have to admit, she's pretty. I was thinking about how uneven that fight was, but your analysis was top notch!

• I have exactly one problem with this. Of all the Pokemon to choose to make costumes for and then pretend to fight in the streets as, who the hell chooses Ratata and Aerodactyl.

• Thank Mighty Cthulhu that they DIDN'T START FUCKING!

• I dunno but isn't this normal at cons and such?

• And as Rob mocks the overaged cosplayer for having his dignitymon stolen by Team Rocket, topless robot displays an ad for "Gay Bingo: Not your grandma's bingo! gaybingoseattle.com".

• I sincerely hope that some of the people shouting for Rattata to use Hyper Fang were not participants but just nerdy bystanders.

• I'd comment that Pokemon fans are sad... but.. a roommate is trying to talk me into going to PaxEast's Pokecrawl, a Pokemon themed bar crawl. http://forums.penny-arcade.com/showthread.php?t=111448

• Just....wow.

• It must be female. :-)

• See? I keep telling you guys that cosplay is the worst thing to happen to geekdom, and this just proves it. It's not far from this to these two yiffing on the reception area couch in the conventional lobby.

• I can kinda understand the Rattata, since Ash had a Raticate for one episode. But what dumbass gives a water-type specialist an AERODACTYL? tbh I just posted since it's Pokemon.

• Was I the only one who noticed Aerodactyl's boobs? >.<

• At least I'm not the only one who thought that.

• Whoever is playing Ash should be doing Mario Bros. cosplay instead.

• You know what? Say what you will about this but if the people in the rattata and aerodactyl suit were legit kicking the shit out of each other than this would be awesome. "RATTATA, ELBOW DROP!"

• I think that is suppose to be Misty.

• Normally I would rip into anything referencing Moulin Rouge, but... I have a soft spot for vintage sex appeal.

• Same here haha

• I'm glad I'm not the only one who is confused as to why a Rattata is fighting Aerodactyl. You honestly couldn't think of another Pokemon to make a costume based on? You HAD to use fucking Rattata?! You couldn't even use Raticate? I would call you insane, sir, but it's fairly apparent already.

• Rattata's nose looks like a limp dick. The Aerodactyl costume is actually pretty pimp, although Misty would never USE Aerodactyl. I suppose Starmie would be a harder costume to move in, though. But yeah, Misty looks kinda hawt. These guys should take it to the next level and just film their own daikaiju movie.

• Yes, no jury in the world would have a problem with you beating up someone for being a nerd. What are you doing on this site, anyways?

• I could only watch 15 seconds of this.

• IN THE NAME OF THE EMPEROR PURGE THIS EVIL!!

• I call bullshit on this. Wholly unrealistic 1. The type of trainer the uses and Aerodactyl is usually head and shoulders above the type of trainer that would use a Ratatta. The only exceptions being if the Aerodactyl was newly hatched and being leveled ups, the Ratatta trainer was trying to use FEAR (the one is ruled out due to the number of attacks exchanged), or if the Aerodactyl trainer had returned to an earlier portion of the game and was facing of against an opponent he or she missed. 2. Why would you use a weak normal type against a rock type unless you were desperate? He had pikachu waiting in the wings, which is a step up but depending on its level may not have made a difference 3. Ratatta's moveset is suspect. Fury Swipes? Doubleslap? The only explanations are breeding or cheats. If the player was knowledgable enough to breed or cheat for moves, why breed/hax such a weak Pokemon, which will remain weak even after evolving, and give it such weak moves that are all of the same type? No ice fang or thunder fang? Noob much? And while the audio wasn't clear, I think I heard at least 5 different attacks. Unless Metronome was thrown down, I cry fowl. 4. Since when does Misty have an Aerodactyl to begin with? 5. Aerodactyl's moveset sucks? You gotta EV boost for Speed and Physical Attack. C'mon that's rookie level knowledge. 6. How was Pikachu less resilent than Ratatta? Had it previously battled? Stats condition? Had Aerodactyl had offensive stats reduced that were restored? 7. Had both parties suffered accuracy reductions? There were a lot of misses on moves with high connection %'s 8. Misty was hot 9. No, I don't want to get a life, I don't want to leave the basement, I don't want adult hobbies. I am nerd, I am otaku, and a rant because I can.

• You want to see a good cosplay pokemon battle check this out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkBXUwsUIkQ

• Ya know if it weren't for that hot girl at work who does Cosplay, I'd totally rip into this stuff. There,I've traded my personal dignity for a complete long-shot. D'OH! I'm going to go have a nap now. =|

• Strangely enough, the chick in the yellow looks (and maybe sounds; kinda hard to hear) like an ex-girlfriend.

• After the battle was done, they all made out in costume.

• Someone needs to put these people out of their misery.

• Most one sided fight ever..

• It's a LITTLE hard to tell since the video is kinda low res, but am I the only one who finds that girl dressed as Misty FREAKIN HOT?!? Looks like she grew up a little since I last watched that show.....

• Every time that I reread Genshiken I think that cosplay isn't entirely awful. Then I see it in real life...

• Now that made me die a little inside.. Maybe that's an understatement. Let me re-phrase that... I'm now of the mindset that I am insane and will probably be blind for the rest of my life.. What's wrong with people...?

• Ratata is doomed it has two type disadvantages against aerodactyle

• TASAKERU828 used WATCH! YOUTUBE used POKEMON COSPLAY! It's super-effective! TASAKERU828 threw up inside! TASAKERU828 fainted!

• Well at least nobody dressed up as Jinx. http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?t=302423&page=5

• no jury in the world would convict me of taking a golf club to everyone in that video. ps ash really let himself go.
