Talk:Ash's Coma/@comment-745312-20140110085008/@comment-24390275-20140110091452

I'm pretty sure the lightning is supposed to be the first time Ash got zapped by Pikachu.

But yes, it is an awful story, filled with as many holes as your average thing of Swiss cheese. Even worse, it's not a theory at all. As I mentioned on one other such pasta, to be a theory it would have to actually explain something about Pokemon, but all it does it make shit up that could be replaced by anything, really. Parts of this stuff even feel like Freudian analysis. The whole subgenre is quite toxic.

Honestly, I like to think the whole story was written as a bizarre effort to cheer up dying fans of Pokemon or something... which is probably much eerier than what we got.
