Introductory Note: A friend sent this to me over AIM and I felt that it had to be shared. I ran a spell check on it and did a few small edits. I pulled it from Cartoon Overanalyzations who in turn pulled it from *BellicoseBreakfast’s deviantArt who in turn made it legible from the “original” 4chan thread. It is very deep, and very long. We’ve inserted a page break after the fourth paragraph. Following this introduction, is the edit in all of its glory for you to enjoy:
Have you ever noticed that the pacing, tone and story development of Pokémon changes after Ash is hit by lightning in the early episodes, how Ash and his world were relatively normal until after the incident?
I have a theory.
The accident with the bike put Ash into a coma. Days later he was found and was hurried to the hospital and treated with heavy medications, which is why Team Rocket became less menacing. The medication took effect and stabilized his coma dreams so that instead of being terrifying, they became idyllic, allowing him to live out his Pokémon master fantasies.
After the beginning episodes, the series is the result of Ash’s subconscious mind fulfilling his desires, as well as attempting to escape reality. Should Ash realize he’s in a coma, he would wake up, but suffer brain damage, so he must take down all of his mental barriers one by one until he can come to grips with who he is and escape his coma (since his mind will not allow him to escape until he’s come to terms with himself).

Greetings, the name’s Amanda Calamity, but I also go by ASH (which is intended to be in CAPS) and I pretty much will allow anyone to call me anything.
I’ve always had a love for anime, though for many years I had no idea what it was called. My first anime was Pokémon like many other anime fans, but I started to really get into it when I watched good ol’ adult swim. Afterwards, I found a thing called “the anime network” which was “on demand.” For those of you that don’t know what in the hell “on demand” is, well…it’s basically a program that comes with digital cable in which you can watch videos whenever you want and a lot of the shows/movies are free. (I’m horrible at explaining things). Anyway, back to my point, I started to watch all sorts of other anime and thus here I am today, eight years later.
My favorite anime currently is Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler) and my favorite manga is RE:Play. Why am I telling you this? I dunno. It’s not like you really give a hoot. It just felt necessary to tell you.
I have a rather wheird sense of humor.
I’m not like a lot of other “Otaku” where I download anime, buy thousands of swag items and make pairings of characters that show no possibility of being together EVER. I also try to stay away from the really popular anime and watch something different.
Besides anime, I love Japan in general. I love the language, the culture and music. The one thing I am not too fond of is it’s food, considering I don’t like seafood ><
I don’t feel like talking about myself anymore because it feels awkward and you’re probably tired of reading about me. 
Hope you don’t find me too boring in the future, <3~ Amanda Calamity
