Description Apart from having Richard Horvitz as a voice actor, ALOT about Psychonauts reminded me of Invader ZIM.
(enough that it isn't that far-fetched for both series to take place in the same universe.)

This is just one good example of this.

Yes, Zim's voice actor also voices Razputin "Raz" Aquatto, the main character.

Though, to be honest, Raz is a more serious character,
making Raz's voice sounding like if Zim has Dib's personality.

(One character is also named "Elka DOOM", which made me think of Gir.)

I was more referring to Dr. Membrane and Sasha but I can somewhat tell Raz and Zim having the same VA

also it blew my mind when Shegor was introduced......and by that I mean being ahead of me and squealing in fear as I got closer and the Bubbles voice which made me ask why I was hearing Bubbles when I 1st played the game

Pardon my tone, but you must REALLY live a sheltered life,
as this sort of comment from you is..well, Common.

You need to watch more stuff like this, pal. You're missing out on alot.

Hmm i say more somehow not finding the time or being very forgetful as i don't remember much from my childhood and what i watched as a child so i may have watched Invader Zim as i was growing up just i don't remember if i actually did or not. (Like thinking right now i feel like i have)

Also can't really buy very game console ever and will probably never be able to buy any other game consoles so i may never be able to play Psychonauts ... but that may change in the future depending on what happens really.

I sure am and being quite forgetful(Hell i keep forgetting the names i give OCs of mine a LOT and its very annoying honestly and i never remember to write the names down) i keep forgetting to get to and watch certain things. (Like some Animes i want to watch)

Well, thankfully we have YouTube.

Yeah thankfully.

Though sometimes it won't have any videos for what im exactly looking for. (Like just recently and today i been thinking of a team for Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire as after i beat Cynthia in Platinum im thinking of playing that next but couldn't really find any videos on Sharpedo that isn't about competitive stuff for Pokemon and just as a Pokemon for like in-game and while online not on youtube i did find some things just well been wanting to find opinions on Sharpedo and other things)

I wasn't aware that Pokemon was still a thing. I sorta caught on that it was getting stale
when they rebooted the "Ash Series" from the very beginning.

(I am starting to think there may be something to that cartoon conspiracy
 where the whole series is just a COMA induced dream after Ash got electrocuted on Misty's bike.)

Though, I do like one new OVA that is more based on the "Red" character,
as it is more mature with actual life-and-death situations.

(On a related note, the Pokemon Manga was even more mature,
 with Pokemon eating other Pokemon, and an Arbok getting decapitated.)


I have also had difficulty finding CERTAIN Pokemon videos.
Mainly the one with the "Talking Pokemon" were are 'rescue rangers', or something.

What was that called again?? "Mystery-Something-or-Other."

It still very much is especially with a spin off game coming to the Switch later and next year a Core Pokemon game coming.

I honestly stopped watching the Pokemon anime as i was getting tired of it after Unova and only watched a little of the beginning of when it started to begin in the X and Y world.

I never watched the OVA but i seen parts of it online though said videos i seen usually wasn't directly related to the OVA.

(I heard about the Manga being very mature and seen the image of Arbok getting decapitated and hearing people actually died in the Manga and characters who aren't evil at all in everything else are evil in the Manga like Lance)

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon ... there are quite a few like Red and Blue i believe the first ones are called to Explorers of Sky(there are two other versions before this one but Sky is the most well known) to Gates to infinity(which people ether liked or hated) to lastly Super Mystery Dungeon(Ain't sure if this is the last game in the series or not but there may be another one in the future if it isn't).

It is very much implied that something catastrophic happened, EVEN in the original series aimed at kids.

Mainly the fact that very few adults are around,
and even Ten Year Olds run "Gyms", and are allowed to cross the country.

It is heavily implied that this is because a majority of adults were killed
in what is known as a "Great Pokemon War", in which Gen. Thunderbolt (that's his name, right?) is a veteran.


Now, THAT is a Pokemon story I'd love to see in Animation, OR in a game.
Because "Pokemon War" is a title that just grabs your attention.

Lt Surge and i guess it would be interesting though it doesn't really grab my attention that much at least for me.
