The pokemon roared as it revealed itself to be an aerodactyl. The aerodactyl screeched as it used rock tomb aimed at the gang. "Look out!" Nyx said as she tackled Sammy and Millet out of the way. "Things are getting serious... Nyx use charge beam!" Sammy said. Nyx growled as she shot a charged beam of electricity at the giant pokemon. Aerodactyl screamed as it shot incinerate at Nyx. Millet hid in the hood of Sammy's hoodie, scared of getting hit.

Nyx stopped at an opening to a room with a gigantic altar in the center. "What is this place...?" Sammy asked. "We must be cautious...I sense a danger lurking around here..." Nyx said to Sammy. "Danger? hmm..."
Sammy walks a couple steps ahead of Nyx while she observed the area. Suddenly, a screech was heard echoing in the ruins. "Ah! W-What's that?!" Millet feared. Suddenly a wall opened and released a big pokemon. "Watch out!" Nyx yelled.

Nyx ventured further in. Curiously, Sammy followed with Millet right behind. This place...why does it seem...familiar..? Nyx thought to herself as she ventured through the tunnels of the ancient ruins.

Sammy, Nyx, and Millet followed Misty and Marble into the ruins, but quickly lost them "Hey! where did you guys go?" She called looking around.

"I know you want to look for Team Rocket so badly, but we don't even know if they're around here. If we bump into them, then we'll act, alright?" Nyx had a slightly grim expression on her face. "Argh...fine..."

Sammy thought for a moment. "Hmm...I guess we'll have to find him then." Nyx turned towards the rest of the group with a grim expression. "We have to go now." she said sternly. "We will Nyx...are you alright?" Sammy said worried. Nyx dug her claws into the ground. "We have to find them now!"

Sammy got a tiny smirk on her face. "No worries, we can stop him." Nyx walked a bit away from the group. "Team Rocket..." she said worried.

"Who is he?" Sammy asked. Nyx quickly gave a small glare trying to tell Sammy not to ask.

Sammy let out her sewaddle she caught awhile ago. "How about I call you...Millet?" "Ok..." Millet said.

Nyx looked at Misty and then closed her eyes and went into deep thought. I'm definitely stronger than before, but to master such a power as mega evolution, I can't begin to imagine. Nyx then flashed a thought that haunted her as a child, but tried hard to banish it. "Hrgh..." Nyx grunted.

You're welcome! ^-^

I think the best comparison for how MLP:FiM is family entertainment is the fact that Disney movies are family entertainment. Disney movies are usually viewed as being movies for kids, but teens and adults also watch and enjoy them too. Both are aimed at the whole family, but some people still try to say they're for kids.
There's also the problem that, when a show really and truly is aimed only at children, the creators tend to hold themselves back a lot. Instead of thinking "What would be a good story?" "What would be a funny joke?" and "What would be entertaining?" they think, "What would kids think is a good story?" "What would kids think is a funny joke?" and "What would kids think is entertaining?"

Oddly enough, way too many adults in the entertainment business who try to make something specifically for little kids severely underestimate children. :l They think kids aren't very smart, have a really simple and dumb sense of humor, and have a very short attention span that won't let them follow a normal story.

As for the jokes, kids laugh at the jokes because they think that's the kind of thing they're supposed to laugh at because the show looks at them and says "Listen to the characters laugh/the laugh box, that was totally funny!" Kids are still developing their sense of humor. That's why they turn to you and say "That's so funny, right?!" after laughing at the show. But they start figuring out their sense of humor after a while, and they can and will reach a point where they can figure out what's funny for themselves. We all reach a point where we can tell that the drivel that true little kids' shows think are jokes just aren't funny.

That's one great thing about MLP:FiM. It doesn't laugh at its own jokes. It doesn't play a laugh box, and it doesn't have the characters laugh at every single joke that's ever made in every single episode. They tell the joke and move on, and if you think it's funny, you think it's funny. Simple as that. It doesn't reach out of the TV and tell the kid "I told a joke! Laugh! This is humor!" It also doesn't oversimplify most of the stories it tells. It just tells a story. It doesn't hold the kid's hand through the whole story, trying to over-explain so the kid doesn't get lost or confused.

Walt Disney was completely right when he said "You're dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway."

Like I said above, there are people out there who look at family entertainment, including Disney movies, and still insist on saying it's for kids, even if they think it's good or enjoy it.


Yeah! In fact I've actually started watching MLP because most of the shows on Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, etc, most of the content especially recent shows make me feel they're trying to brainwash me because it's so bad... :facehoof:

Sammy walked over to Misty and Marble. "Hehe...sorry, guess I got a little carried away.." Sammy said rubbing the back of her head. Nyx bowed. "Thank you for the battle."

(Hehe, sorry I was gone for awhile...  X3)

Sammy got a smirk on her face. "Ready Nyx?" Nyx looked back at Sammy and nodded. "Alright, use charge beam!" Nyx charged electricity and aimed for charizard.

Nyx was hit by the firey punch. "Use Dark Pulse!" Sammy said. Nyx shot a beam of dark aura at magmar.
