So, is SM actually good in comparison to XY? Or is it all memes?
"It's comfy" is not an argument.

The movie will be OS only. They won't show Ash failing the league 6 times or battling millions of gym leaders.

>>30785355
>implying Mistyfags exist here

>>30785186
Hard to say fully right now, since we've only got a handful of episodes and so far they're just using this time to introduce us to the region and the characters. The animation is good, especially with the humans, though we haven't gotten any major battles to compare to XY's battles.

>>30785355
Was Misty even seen in the trailer?

>>30785241
>Rational Serena Poster.
Thats a first.
I'd disagree though.
The series is looking nice, but comparing the 7~ episodes we have to XY/Z now would be like judging XY based on The meowstic brothers episode. When/if things get more intense and we see an important battle (I'm thinking about the Totem episode) we can say its better/worse/same/whatever.

>>30785298
What's this?

>>30785291
Nice, I was wondering what happened to the preview.

>>30785400
No.

>>30785209
The character in the trailer is actually Ash and Serena's son, there's no way that they would change the iconic design of Ash's original hat.

>>30785379
that'd still be hype as fuck

>>30785186

Comparing to the first six episodes of XY it isn't as hype really. Reposting from an old thread:

>To be fair even at only 6 episodes XY was more hype. On XY6 we had Ash planning a strategy to defeat Viola, has a rematch with her and wins his first badge. The episode ended with a cliffhanger of Ash asking Serena what she was doing next as they leave Santalune.

H-Hey... guys...?

If the new movie ends up really being just a Ash origin story it sounds like a great idea IMO. As a standalone movie I bet it'll be one of the better ones to watch because it'll feel more like it has a beginning middle and end, rather than being a blatant mythical Pokemon shilling movie.

That and most kids probably haven't watched the original series.

No. At absolute most, it will take place in an alternate canon, but it's far more likely to just be a retelling of some of OS to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the show.

You're acting like enough shit happens in this show for that to be hard.

>>30785788
I checked out the crying Squishy Song out of curiosity, and holy shit it's actually good. Alyson has shown on Twitter that she actually gives a shit (at one point stating that she adlibs sometimes because Cathcart's script is so unnatural), clearly evidenced by her performance here.

One step at a time, the dub is getting better. Between Sophocles, this song and Volcanion, if Lisa Ortiz can keep these improvements up the dub will be watchable again yet.

Okay I think we now disregard the old canon and start anew :^)

Zexal made a shit ton of money for them.

Arc-V was their attempt at making another Zexal level success.

>>30785957
That's bullshit and MIGHT even be applicable to the games.

Also that means that Ash meeting Serena still came first chronogically.

>>30786013
That's not how it works.

>>30786013
From what I was told, they're trying a different type of animating.

The bookends I can agree with, but for the middle part I'd really would rather they try to write the movie as a movie rather than trying to do fanservice for 25-year-old Stockholm Syndrome viewers of the show and making it a weird collage of Ash's anime journey. That would make for a pretty disjointed movie IMO.

>>30786031
That's all it was.

And SM's actual animation is pretty damn good for a Japanese toy commercial anime. The art style is a bit odd but the animation moves wonderfully a majority of the time.

>>30786130
>She has been involved with the dub

trash

>>30786125
But why should she appear? Ash got Pikachu years later. By the time being it doesn't seem any companion will show up at all.

>>30786023
What about this? There's no reason to make it complicated.

First Universe
OS >AG > DP > BW > XY > SM
BW has flashbacks to OS during the Zard episode, and he has his original OG hat. BW's final episode leads into XY. SM references the Safari Zone episode. Also includes movie 1-19.

Second Universe
M20
Ash has a different hat implying that it's not the same OG Ash from the TV Anime.

>>30786097
If an American VA isn't a literally who they're overused and if they aren't overused they're literally whos who were literally grabbed from the street.

amazing industry

>>30786128
More like 5

>>30786065
If they tried to build and focus on a narrative of Ashs change over time from Kanto - XY then it could be really well done, especially if they create and include scenes we never saw in the anime.

Like Ashs internal monologues after losing fights at the League or against key rivals to see what he really feels and thinks. And to see those monologues change in tone as he and the movie progresses would be really cool.

>>30785994
We could just go a step further and say BW never happened at all.

Then we could have the perfect twin universes:

Original:

>OS > AG > DP

Mega:

>20th Movie > XY(Z) > SM

>>30786078
But XY started off pretty generic.

>>30786144
The animation in the first battle they had (Team Skull from SM01) was nice and fluid. It didn't look too blatantly like we had choppily animated 2D characters on an overly fluidily moving 2.5D background. It blends together nicely. I just wish the art style WAS a bit better, more like XY&Z's.

>>30786128
More like 3 and a half.

>>30786167

>two alternate universes just like in the games

It's so stupid that I think Gamefreak and the Anime directors would totally do it.

>>30786162
No, you dummy, it's

First Universe
OS >AG > DP > BW > XY
Second Universe
M20 > SM

>>30786141
Exactly what does a VA have to do or be to not be defined a literally who by your uptight point of view?

>>30786162
Where do the two movie 14s fit into that?

Does BW exust in both universes, with one movie depicting the original timeline and the other depicting the Mega Universe?

>>30786144
That's because OLM is a studio that specializes in trying new ways to animate, which other studios then proceed to recreate.

>>30786162
>SM references the Safari Zone episode

What's with all this talk about different universes?

>>30786201

Not be a shitty English VA.

>>30786167
Ash met Alexa during BW

>>30786162
Gen 8 will probably be in the 2nd universe.
So it'll be
OS>AG>DP>BW>XY>SM
then
M20>Gen 8

>>30786227
Define a "good" English VA.

>>30786127
I think if Serena, or even Misty and Brock appear they should only be as a background thing as a nod to the fans, maybe give them a couple lines (like how they appeared in the flashbacks for the BW Charizard episodes).

>multiversefags in the anime
God please no, this is as bad as ash being in a coma

>>30786246

No, you misunderstand-- The shittiness comes from the English, which is a disgusting language that sounds like ooga-booga grunts compared to beautiful languages like Japanese and Spanish.

>>30786360
Yeah I think it would work way better, They don't need to replace Ash and Pikachu and can retain their basic origin story while still doing new seasons whilst allowing versions of Ash to finish their story and achieve their dreams.

Then we could get nostalgia pandering specials/movies where we get a movie about the original Ash or a cross over where all the Ash's work together to stop a legendary Pokemon or some shit.

>>30786396
