If someone were to write the history of internet video, I think they'd need to mention Killer Bean. Released in 1996, just a year after Toy Story, it was a two-minute, 3D animated short about gun-toting beans, and almost entirely the work of one person. A slightly longer and much improved sequel, Killer Bean 2: The Party, was released in 2000.
10 Most Surprising Pokemon Video Game Trainers Ash Never Battled
31.07.2023 - 03:05 / gamepur.com
Ash Ketchum battled many different trainers in the Pokemon anime, but he missed some of the most important ones from the video games. This is despite the fact that Pokemon Journeys had the opportunity to introduce lots of classic characters into the anime as part of the World Coronation Series, but they never appeared, and Ash has retired as the protagonist of the series.
The Pokemon anime has adapted many entries in the video game series, with its own take on the source material that allowed it to expand on the characters and storylines in a way that couldn’t be done in handheld games. This meant that people important to a Pokemon trainer’s journey, such as the Gym Leaders in each region, appeared, but not every character made it into the show.

Janine From Pokemon Gold & SilverIt’s odd to think that Ash never battled one of the Gym Leaders in the Kanto region. This is because Janine was introduced in Pokemon Gold & Silver, as she’s Koga’s sister, and took over his Gym when he was promoted to the Elite Four. The player battles Janine while returning to Kanto in Pokemon Gold & Silver, but Ash never has a reason to return to Fuschia City and fight its Gym again, so he never encounters Janine.
AZ From Pokemon X & YAZ is a major part of the backstory in Pokemon X & Y, having been a king in ancient times who created an ultimate weapon that ended a war. The story of AZ, his beloved Pokemon who died, and the discovery of his ultimate weapon in modern times are central to Pokemon X & Y, yet he doesn’t appear in the Pokemon anime. This is likely because his story has some darker elements that the writers of the Pokemon anime wanted to avoid in the show, such as the mention of war and death.
Phoebe & Most of the Hoenn Elite Four From Pokemon Ruby & SapphireThe Elite Fours in the various games have had an unusual amount of representation, with some being prominent parts of the story and others never appearing at all. In the case of the Hoenn Elite Four, only Drake appears in the Pokemon anime, where he acts as a powerful opponent for Ash to overcome. Meanwhile, Glacia, Phoebe, and Sidney never appeared at all, not even as guest-of-the-week characters, like many other Elite Four members.
Silver From Pokemon Gold & SilverThe Pokemon Rivals have also had spotty appearances, with some being major characters (like Barry and Serena) and some never appearing. The most notable absentee is Silver from Pokemon Gold & Silver, who has one of the best character arcs in the series, is tied to one of its major antagonists (as he’s Giovanni’s son), and is extremely popular with the fans. Silver was likely skipped because Gary Oak was still a big part of the series during
