Pokemon The Abridged Series (Also known as PTAS) is the title of MasterWGS's abridged series based on the Pokemon anime. Like many abridged series, PTAS takes the personalities of each character to their extremes and conveys the original plot, showing the ridiculous oversight of many characters within each episode. Unlike the Pokemon games and show, most of the Pokemon in this abridged series can speak English, although the trainers still don't understand them.
Apart from the youtube channel (where several episodes are blocked or deleted), Episodes 1-15 are available on iTunes[1], and Episodes 1-25 are available on Boxofdanger.com[2]
Production
Pokemon The Abridged Series was created by Master WGS in February of 2008. The pilot episode "More than a Game" was intentionally a cliffhanger ending, stating that Ash could have possibly died if reception was negative; the episode would have been the end of the series, as there would be no need to actually tie up any loose ends. With reception being positive, the next three episodes were posted onto his Youtube Channel, all within one week of one another. With pressure from his fans to use different voice talent, WGS enlisted Dark Bomber Kid, ModernTenshi04, Chippy, and MegaKnight to work on the fifth episode of the series. After the creation of Episode 5, the group (excluding MegaKnight) worked together and formed PokemonAbridgedFTW, which produced additional things for the series (Episode 9: Charman-dizzle and the Pikachump was a joke episode).

List of Characters
Ash Ketchem
Ash is an average boy with serious family problems. His mother, the drug-addled Deliah Ketchem, and no sign of a father, Ash, at the ripe old age of 10, decides to leave for his dreams of being a Pokemon Master. Constantly the butt of the joke, Ash has trouble being socially acceptable, and even his pokemon constantly ridicule him.
Misty
The youngest sister of the "Sextabulous Cerulean Sisters" Misty is the Gym Leader of Cerulean City. Generally mean, screaming, and just an all around bitch, Misty is the only female on the team. As such, she is generally regarded as whiny, and ends up just fighting with Ash a majority of the time. She uses water Pokemon (or Pokemon found "around" water, such as an Oddish).
Brock
As the Gym Leader of Pewter City, Brock uses mostly rock type Pokemon. His father, having constantly abusing his many children sexually (including Brock), left the family to sell rocks and sound like the merchant from Resident Evil 4. His constant sexual abuse made Brock wish he were a woman named Lisa, and explains the reason he carries an apron and can cook. After Ash threatens to let the world know of his fixation with wanting to be a woman, Brock is reunited with his father. Brock decided it was better to leave his father with the other kids and the gym, and to travel with Ash rather than staying with his father.
