Aspie creator of the series, Satoshi Tajiri. Unlike Chris, he actually did something with his life.

Pokémon (or Pok'emon, according to Chris) is one of Nintendo's greatest creations, a Japanese cultural phenomenon that is beloved by children around the world, and a billion dollar multimedia franchise encompassing video games, card games, toys, an anime series, and much, much more.

Yet it only took one autistic manchild to forever ruin it for an entire generation.

Chris-chan in the Pokémon world

Chris, according to the Sonichu article in CWCipedia, sees himself as an official Pokémon gym leader. He claims to have over 387 Pokémon leveled-up to level 100 on his Pokémon Diamond game, all of them being trained without any kind of cheating or rare candies. It's not certain whether this is truth or more of his autistic imagination. However, given the fact he owns every Pokémon game and game system, has no life at all, and has paid off several mortgages in Animal Crossing, it may very well be true. Who knows? All it takes is a load of time, and Lord knows Chris's time isn't going to anything good.

It should be noted that the Generation IV games such as Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver feature 493 Pokémon, something that should be common knowledge to anyone claiming to have achieved what Chris has, making his "collection" far from complete. To make matters worse, the recently-announced fifth generation games, Black and White, will introduce at least a hundred more.

TL;DR - He's a fucking deluded moron.

As the leader of the CWCville Pokémon Gym, Chris has a fairly unimaginative team:

Pokémon characters appearing in Sonichu comics

Pikachu

Transformed into Sonichu in Sonichu 0. Despite the importance to Sonichu lore, this is basically the only time a Pikachu appears or is mentioned in the comic. From this point on, it's all just shitty recolors of Chris's first shitty recolor.

Raichu

Transformed into Rosechu by the Rainbow, in Sonichu 0.

David the Dragonite/Daisy the Dragonite

A Dragonite Kel also owned. The considerate Pokémon trainer offered his sexual services to Rosechu when the latter was in heat, noting that he's "loyal". Rosechu refused, stating that David is "just too big" even for her loose, gaping China, and suggesting Kel have sex with him herself. Kel enigmatically answers that "she can't say she didn't try". Did they or didn't they? History will never know.

Strangely enough, David may have been retconned into "Daisy the Dragonite", as indicated by a listing of Kel's Pokémon on CWCipedia. David, who appeared in Issue 0 (Episodes 2 and 3), is not mentioned on the list, though Daisy is and is the only Dragonite on the list. It would not be out of the question to think that Chris simply forgot about David's importance to the canon and retconned him into a girl, especially probable due to the fact that both names begin with the same letter and Chris couldn't really name a girl "Davidina", plus the fact that he has created gender-benders before. This would indicate that Kel, in fact, offered "Daisy" to Rosechu for a lesbian relationship, which in turn calls into question the sexuality of Rosechu, Kel, and the Dragonite, and makes several aspects of the comic a great deal more confusing.

Zapdos

Zapdos is not amused with Chris's faggotry.

An electric type Pokémon and one of the three legendary birds. Zapdos was used by Naitsirhc to capture Rosechu and battle Sonichu in CWCville Mall. Although Sonichu was victorious, Naitsirhc obtained a sample of Sonichu's DNA, which he would later use in the creation of Black Sonichu.


Giovanni

Main article: Giovanni

The leader of Team Rocket and villain of the first generation Pokemon games, Giovanni is determined to capture Sonichu at any cost. He teamed up with Doctor Robotnik to devise the perfect trap for Sonichu. Their plot was foiled, however, as Sonichu unexpectedly got help in dealing with the kidnappers, rather than going in alone like a retard, as they expected him to do. However, he only got help from Sonic the Hedgehog because he bumped into him on his way to the base. So Sonichu is still retarded, just lucky.

Later on, Giovanni seems to have reevaluated his goals, and now seeks to take over CWCville and kill Christian, as he joined forces with the Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens and helped them out during their attack on the city in Sonichu 9. Surprisingly, he seemed to want his son Reldnahc to rule the city, rather than wanting it for himself. This shows that at least Giovanni thinks of others sometimes rather than himself, which is more than can be said for our heroes.

Team Rocket

Team Rocket is the villainous organization that captures Pokémon (from the series of the same name). But somehow the company has either fallen on hard times because of the global recession or made a fucking stupid business decision as they set up a new headquarters in CWCville.

Team Rocket is run by Giovanni and his retarded homosexual son, Reldnahc Notsew Naitsirhc. They are also responsible for the creation of Blake.

Raikou

Used by Naitsirhc as a getaway ride in the same episode.

Scyther

The Scyther who fathered Wild Sonichu. We think.

For no obvious reason, a male Scyther assumed the role of Wild Sonichu's father. Whether this is because it was screwing his Venusaur mother, or felt some obligation to help her raise Wild is unclear. The Scyther trained Wild in using his "Razor Leaf" attacks to cut down trees and such.

In Sonichu 8, Wild would tell Sonichu and Rosechu of the last time he saw his adoptive father. According to Wild, his father was the leader of the "cut-sharp" clan of "Scyther and Scizor". At some point, the "Charmeleon Cult" burned down the dojo in the jungle that served as their headquarters. Wild joined his father on a mission to take revenge, but the Scyther was intercepted and captured by poachers instead. Wild cried like a bitch while the poachers loaded his dad in their van, then finally attempted to use his super powers to free him. The Scyther told him to stop, however, since he knew Wild was too much of a failure to cut through the steel frame of the van. Wild's last memory of his father was of "the passing-of-the-torch look in his eyes".

Venusaur

A female Venusaur in the jungle discovered Wild Sonichu's egg and adopted him. As Wild inexplicably has retractable tentacles in his arms, the Venusaur trained him in using them to grasp objects.

Swampert

A female Swampert adopted Bubbles Rosechu upon discovering her egg on the beach. Unlike Wild's parents, the Swampert doesn't seem to have taught Bubbles much of anything, and the pair spent her childhood splashing in the water like idiots. This idyllic existence was brought to and end when a Wailord dropped a giant boulder on the Swampert for no apparent reason. Unable to rescue her mother in her immature Rosey body, Bubbles evolved into her Rosechu form, and somehow used an ice beam to save the Swampert from drowning.

While Bubbles continues to live on the beach, the Swampert has not been seen since her first appearance. This would suggest that at some point, the Wailord returned to finish the job.

Boulder-Dropping Whale

The Boulder Dropping Whale's lone appearance in the comic.

As the name suggests, Boulder-Dropping Whale is a creature resembling a whale, who literally dropped a boulder. This signature attack was used against the Swampert who raised Bubbles Rosechu, and would have drowned the Swampert if not for Bubbles' timely intervention. Although never named in the comic, the whale's anonymity and murderous hatred for Sonichu characters has earned him a cult following among fans, who have dubbed him "Boulder-Dropping Whale", or "BDW" for short.

Originally identified as a common whale in the Audiobooks, Chris stated in a blog in January 2010 that it is a Wailord, a Pokémon that closely resembles a whale; This makes sense, as Chris always uses Pokémon when drawing background fauna in his comics (probably because he didn't pay attention during any of his biology classes in high school), such as the underwater scene in Sonichu 8 which featured only Pokémon sea creatures, and no naturally occurring wildlife. Further, BDW's trademark attack appears to resemble "Rock Tomb", an attack available to many Pokémon in the video games, including Wailord.

Nevertheless, the name "Boulder-Dropping Whale" has stuck, and no matter what his species, he remains a fan favorite.

Chris also stated in the same blog that Boulder-Dropping Whale was in fact a Wailord, that he had been captured, and was currently being forced to fight the senseless battles of some random Pokémon trainer. The fans have disregarded this statement, standing firm in their belief that Boulder Dropping Whale currently resides on the moon with his Moon-Pals Bill, Metal Sonichu, and Yawning Squirtle, getting high as fuck.

Mewtwo

File:Mewtwo.JPG
Mewtwo is not pleased with Chris.

A powerful, reclusive Pokémon genetically engineered from the DNA of the rare Mew, Mewtwo escaped from his creators and briefly plotted to conquer the world in the first Pokémon feature film. Mewtwo's dark, brooding nature and vast psychic abilities would serve as Chris's "inspiration" for Magi-Chan Sonichu, whose egg hatched in the same cave Mewtwo lived in during the movie. As if the connection weren't blatant enough, Chris established that Mewtwo served as Magi-Chan's mentor, contacting him at birth via telepathy and teaching him to use his mental powers. Aside from his mental rapport with Mewtwo, Magi-Chan grew up completely isolated from the rest of the world. In a half-assed attempt to introduce him to civilization, Mewtwo projected memories of Jackie Chan films, other people's birthday parties, and various tourist attractions. Two weeks after Magi-Chan evolved into his Sonichu form, Mewtwo sent him out into the world, promising that they would one day meet face-to-face. As Chris has probably forgotten all about this, though, it'll probably never happen.

Christian has also notably claimed on the CWCipedia once that Reldnahc had a Mewtwo in his Pokemon team. It can be assumed that this is the same one.

Snorlax

A wild Snorlax in repose

A Snorlax briefly appeared in Christian's 'Backyard Safari' Sub-Episode, a documentary about Jerkops designed specifically to insult them. He comments at one point that a Jerkhief weighs over 1500 pounds and can be identified by its glassy eyes and wooden badge. How ironic for Chris to be saying such things about Jerkops.

The Snorlax appears at the bottom of the page as an illustration, since Christian had commented in a paragraph that the Jerkhief was heavier than a Snorlax.

Theoretically all of the Sonichus and Rosechus are Pokémon as well, but there's very little to support this theory. None of them rely on trainers, and in fact as far as can be seen they're essentially treated as "human" in CWCville. As Sonees and Roseys, they hatch from eggs and "evolve" into their adult forms, but the similarities end there. Only two of them (BlazeBob Sonichu and Chloe Rosechu) have ever been put into a Pokéball. The closest they get before then is a bizarre inversion when Wild Sonichu puts two of the Sonichu Balls (which look like Pokéballs) into his arms. Also, as individual species, Pokémon don't have the vast varieties of powers and appearances that Sonichus and Rosechus have. Finally, Pokémon can only know 4 moves at a time, whereas Sonichu and company seem to simply have whatever abilities would be convenient at any given moment. Even the Pokémon anime, which prefers to use the gameplay mechanics as a general rule instead of a physical law, has Pokémon know no more than four moves at once and doesn't have Pokémon use moves that they cannot learn in-game (well, most of the time, but they're usually reasonable mistakes). However, like most of Chris's creations, Sonichus and Rosechus are essentially just Mary Sues, so the fact they can rebel against established Pokémon rules is not altogether surprising.

It should also be noted that Chris will, unsurprisingly, ignore the logic of "Super Effective" unless it suits him. In the games, attacks will have their base power doubled or halved (or nullified altogether) if the opposing Pokémon is weak or resistant to the type of the attack used. This enables weak Pokémon to bring down opponents several levels higher than they; so long as they're weak to their attacks, they'll go down faster. The anime prefers to ignore this rule, and if it's ever invoked, it's done to show how tough a particular Pokémon is. With Chris, though, it's just him being stupid.

Plagiarism in Sonichu

Despite the fact that Chris primarily uses Pokemon in his series, not only is he not above using the characters, he's also not above using various ideas from the series. Amongst those include:

  • In Issue 2, Flame the Sunbird says that he "could use some pants". This is ripped off from Pokémon the Movie 2000 when the Pokémon Slowking, freezing due to the weather changes, wishes for a pair to keep himself warm.
  • Despite "not being a Pokémon," Flame uses Pokémon attacks in his one notable appearance. Speculation abounds, but it could be that Chris assumes that "Pokémon rules" apply to all intelligent mystical animal thingeys the way anyone with a guitar can pull off solo specials from Brutal Legend.
  • In Sonichu Special 4, Kacey's sister resembles Candice, one of the 4th Generation Gym Leaders.
  • In the biography for Rosechu, it is mentioned that Kel ended up getting the Pichu who'd become Rosechu because she missed out on getting Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle. This is a ripoff of how Ash Ketchum got Pikachu, except for the fact that Ash and Pikachu didn't hit it off until Pikachu saw how far Ash would go to protect it.
  • In Sonichu 9, Sonichu inexplicably knows Iron Tail, a Steel-type attack, for use on the Rock/Ground Type Liquid (Steel is super-effective against Rock). This is stolen, again, from Pikachu, who learned the same move so the writers could let Ash battle Roxanne(and other Rock types) without breaking the rules of the game and pissing off fans. The difference is that leading up to the battle, an episode was spent to show Pikachu learning the move. It is to be noted that in the video games, Pikachu is able to learn this move through the use of an item.

Plagiarism of Sonichu?

Main article: List of cards from The Wall of Originals

Despite Chris's complete lack of originality when it comes to the Sonichu characters, there are several Pokémon on the Wall of Originals that closely resemble actual Pokémon introduced in Ruby, Sapphire, Diamond, and Pearl versions. What makes this interesting is that these cards were created in the early 2000's, predating the Japanese release of Ruby and Sapphire by at least one year, and Diamond and Pearl by at least five years. However, much like Chris's "idea" of putting Sonic games on Nintendo consoles, it is much more likely that the Pokémon's resemblances to Chris's abominations are a coincidence. At least, we can only hope so...
