Note: This article was originally published on February 8, 2. It has since been updated. That shouldn’t come as a surprise, because Pikachu has changed over the years, too. This is only natural for all animated and drawn characters, and there are countless examples of similar evolutions over the years. But how has Ash changed? His outfits, most notably his hats, have changed from series to series, but one of the most subtle changes has been the length of Ash’s legs. The character has gotten leaner and taller, most noticeably for Pokémon XY in 2. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here are the major iterations side- by- side. Still can’t see it? Here are images from Pokémon Black & White and XY compared. However, probably the biggest change was Ash’s eye color back in 2. Pokémon: Black & White featured Ash with brown eyes instead of black ones. In the above image, you can see how these images stack up. I’ve always thought it was a shame they didn’t keep his eyes black for Black & White. Thematically, it works so well! There have also been other subtle tweaks to his appearance over the years. The addition of something very important. You know, fingernails. The character’s eyes (the pupil and the iris shape, really) have changed once again with the most recent anime Pokémon XYZ.

Arrow: 1. 7 Huge Plot Holes You Missed. The CW’s Arrow really should be any comic book fan’s dream. The series is not only an entertaining and original take on the classic DC hero. Thanks to the success of Arrow, it’s subsequent Arrowverse spinoffs have made it possible to watch a superhero nearly every day of the week during the regular TV season. For all that however, Oliver Queen’s televised adventures are far from perfect. The Green Arrow has filled a lot of bad guys with arrow- shaped holes, but the writers have done their fair amount of damage as well, leaving some major plot holes throughout the five seasons of the series thus far. None of these weird and unexplained moments outright ruin Arrow or its overall quality. In fact. some are so blatantly ridiculous that they only really add to the fun, even if it is in an unintentional way. Some are just so confusing that they must be pointed out and discussed. Arrow is a ton of fun, but all the action and thrills come at the expense of logic and common sense. Here are some of the show's biggest plot holes. Ready your bow and put your thinking cap on, because here are 1. Huge Arrow Plot Holes That You Missed. 1. What About Vigilante? There is a very good chance that Vigilante’s identity will come out sooner rather than later on Arrow. Yet in the excellent season 5, the identity of Oliver’s second greatest antagonist just hung awkwardly in the air without an answer. Vigilante’s only real purpose in season 5 was to throw off comic book fans into thinking that Adrian Chase wasn’t Prometheus. All that came crashing down though when Prometheus and Vigilante came to blows. Prometheus picked up Vigilante and threw him off a building, only to reveal himself as Adrian Chase underneath the mask. It was a shocking moment, but it also made Vigilante and his identity annoyingly mysterious. Of course, the encounter with Prometheus also raised another question about Vigilante. How can he, she (or it?) possibly survive a fall from a skyscraper? When Chase threw Vigilante off the building, no body was shown afterwards, but that was a big fall, and seemingly a deadly one. Yet Vigilante later showed up in the episode ready to kill Oliver. Arrow has a lot of explaining to do when (and if) they reveal this villain’s identity. Oliver’s Long History with Amanda Waller. After season 2, Arrow’s flashbacks (in addition to becoming very, very boring) were also a factory for plot holes and weird twists that were never properly set up by the rest of the show. The first big and confusing twist came when Amanda Waller popped up in the season 2 finale flashback, forcibly hiring Oliver for a mission in Hong Kong. At the moment, it was a jaw- dropping and exciting turn of events, but upon further inspection, it defies all kinds of logic. Amanda Waller first appeared on Arrow in the season 2 episode, “Keep Your Enemies Closer.” Although Waller primarily interacts with Diggle in that episode, Oliver is quickly made known of her presence. Yet neither Oliver or Waller ever hint that they familiar with one another and that they worked “together” on two very long and dangerous missions. Things stay that way for the rest of season 2, until the big reveal in the finale. Waller’s secrecy can be pretty easily explained (she is a professional spy, after all). But Oliver has no reason to stay so mum. There are multiple times that Oliver could and should have warned Diggle about what he knows about Waller, but Ollie stays quiet for reasons that are left unexplained, creating the first of many flashback- centric plot holes. Felicity Can Pilot the ATOM Suit. Emily Bett Rickards, who plays Felicity, is 5’5″. Brandon Routh, who played Felicity’s season 3 beau Ray Palmer, is 6’2″. If Ray gave Felicity one of his shirts to wear, she would be swimming in it. There is no way she should be able to fit into Ray’s obsessively engineered armor, the ATOM suit. For whatever reason, which is none, in the season 3 finale of Arrow, that’s exactly what happens, and the ATOM suit fits Felicity like a glove. A hardcore Arrow apologist could claim that Felicity is able to fit into the suit because the suit can shrink and expand. Ray’s big benefit to his team on the spin- off Legends of Tomorrow is that his suit allows him to navigate any space thanks to its size- shifting powers. So naturally, the suit should be able to shrink to fit Felicity. Except Ray didn’t figure out how to shrink his suit until after the Arrow season 3 finale, where he “died.”1. How Exactly Does Laurel Know Ollie? A lot of Arrow fans have questions about Oliver and Laurel’s romance. Depending on the fan and their preferences, those questions can wildly differ too. Yet the one thing that most Arrow fans should be able to agree on is that the history of Oliver and Laurel’s romance makes very little sense. We are told repeatedly, especially in season 1, that Oliver has loved Laurel for half of his life, implying that the two have been in an on- again and off- again romance since they were pre- teens. This is fine, or would be, except for the information that later comes out that Oliver and Laurel were “college sweethearts.” Putting aside that Ollie, by his own admission, dropped out of four schools, Oliver and Laurel being college sweethearts is completely contradictory to him being in love with her for “half his life.”Even if you want to accept that Oliver was in love with Laurel since they were kids but they didn’t start dating until college, there are a whole host of other questions. There is no reasonable explanation for why Laurel, a daughter of two very blue collar workers, would be playmates with the sons of billionaires like Oliver and Tommy Merlyn. Where Was Constantine? Here’s another big problem caused by the flashbacks. John Constantine joining the Arrowverse in season 4 was an event that was greatly anticipated by fans, and with good reason. Matt Ryan proved on the short- lived Constantine TV show that he was a fantastic fit for the part. Ryan being able to extend his time with the character was a dream come true for fans. While John’s season 4 Arrow episode is a lot of fun, it’s also incredibly confusing. Constantine makes his first Arrow appearance in present day and the flashback storylines. In the present, John helps the newly resurrected Sara get her soul back. In the past, he gives Oliver some tattoos that later save his life. This latter story is not only very boring, but it makes no sense. The flashback establishes that Oliver knew about magic (and a magician) years before he even became the Arrow. Yet not once before season 4 does Oliver ever mention or even consider calling up his friend Constantine. Oliver does have the whole lone wolf routine down pat. A friendly magician still would have been a lot of help when Ollie was facing down the Dark Archer, Deathstroke, or literally any other villain before season 4. Oliver Stopped Reverse Flash While “Brainwashed”While this big plot hole occurs on The Flash, it is indeed mentioned on Arrow, and it’s only confusing because of the events of the latter series. When Barry was getting ready to face off against the Reverse Flash, he called in some help from Oliver and the original Firestorm. It’s a very cool moment, and not just because the Amell cousins are sharing the screen together. The big issue is that this rescue mission is happening at the same time that Oliver has evidently been brainwashed by the League of Assassins and is disavowing all knowledge or loyalty to his friends and family. Barry Allen is fast, it’s kind of his whole thing. It is highly unlikely that he is fast enough to run to Nanda Parbat, grab Ollie, have him engage in a big brawl, and get him back before Ra’s al Ghul even notices. Even if Barry could manage that, Ollie wouldn’t take the risk. Oliver is fully committed to his brainwashed role to trick Ra’s, and he goes so far as to imprison his former team. Reverse Flash is a big deal but for Oliver; Ra’s (who killed his sister) is a much bigger one. Thea’s Amazing Resume. When Arrow season 1 began, Thea Queen was at some indiscriminate age, but clearly in high school. There is no mention of Thea preparing for graduation, however, so it’s doesn’t seem like she’s a senior. Yet when season 2 rolls around, occurring only a few months after season 1, Thea has not only graduated, but she’s running an entire business, overseeing Oliver’s Verdant night club. This makes no sense. It’s not that weird that Thea is able to land the job. Oliver does own Verdant, and their family’s money is all tied up in the business. The strange thing is just how excellent Thea is at the job.
