Dawn best girl.
>>32265001
the best and number one
Why did they let him down?
>>32265009
Let him down? He fulfills an important niche being the cute comedy relief owl for marketing purposes.
>>32265001
>>32265008
>there are now not just 1 but 2 cancerous Dawnfags spamming this every thread
>>32264993

This doesn't feel right.
>>32264911
>>32264917
Ya Boi when?
>>32265129
With a bit of luck, either he or Plumeria will be in SM25
Are you sure Guzma is showing up? Did I miss somwthing? it can be the stupids grunts
>>32265224
>Are you sure Guzma is showing up?
Nope. Hell, the OP pic even says "(hopefully)".
But people like Guzma, and there's nothing wrong with being optimistic.
>Doggo dies
>Litten wakes up and it's gone
>no scene of Litten trying to wake a dead Doggo and gradually realising it's not going to wake up
Literally why was this allowed?
>>32265256
Doggo cared too much to want Litten to go through that.
>>32265247
Just wondering because I just checked this thread and saw the title
>>32265282
Oh.Yeah, everything with know so far is the summary in the OP. The episode just got announced, so there's not much info on it yet.
>>32265291
SM is finally looking up. Ash's Mom coming back, possible Plumeria or Ya Boi sighting. Shit's finally getting hype.
>>32264911
>Will Lillie win da Ash?
SATOSHI GETTO DA ZE!
Lillie is sad about Doggo. Say something nice to her.
>>32265342
everything is daijoubu daijoubu!
>>32265342
remember the faggots who thought the lillipup in the photo was that stoutland? kek
>>32264911
>mfw guzma in the anime
>mfw /guz/ threads return
>mfw fresh influx of fan-artand hopefully lewdfics
>>32265421
Isn't guzma more popular than Lillie now?
>>32265348
>>32265427
Is he? Sauce?That would be awesome
>>32265432
I'm just talking about what I see on twitter and pixiv. Guess the anime really kills the hype for characters
>>32265438
Anime Lilie has never been particularly popular from what I've seen. I think it's Suiren the nip fanbase latched on to.
Game Lilie is still popular as all hell, though.
>>32265448
To be faur, Suiren really is very hot.
>>32265448
Yeah but I think now that the hype has died, people like Guzma more because he is the meme character
and people realized MoonxGuzma is a better pairing than MoonxLillie
>>32265455
While I prefer Mao, I'm not gonna argue that.
>>32265456
>and people realized MoonxGuzma is a better pairing than MoonxLillieBut it isn't. Moon x Lilie is godly
>>32265466
Not good enough for fangirls to self insert into
You are now aware that Doggo belonged to Shoko.
what's your favorite doggo pokemon anyways? mine is zygarde doggo
>>32265499
Poochiena. Though I'm sure it's more nostalgia than anything.
>>32265499
The comfiest.
>>32265499
Houndour. The Johto Pokémon that can only be found in Kanto.
>>32265514
Also, it reminds me of an elkhound, which is one of my favorite dog breeds.

Ilima when?
After this episode there's literally no denying Incineroar will be Ash's ace and the shillmon of the gen
>>32265656
Incineroar is not popular as the other furshits
>>32265606
MATSUI
>>32265678
Todays episodes really show the gulf between Matsui and Tomioka as writers
why are the animators so eager to show off Ash's midriff/without a shirt/without pants/other parts of his body this series
>>32265692
maybe the new director is a pedo
>>32265692
Matsui is a lewd girl.
>>32265692
To attract different audiences.
>>32265702
I still can't believe they actually got away with this.
>>32265702
She is just the writer
>>32265725
Which means she's the one that wrote "then Ash takes his shirt off" in the script to today's episode.
Probably while masturbating to the thought.
>>32265730
I masturbated to Suiren today. Does that count for anything?
>>32265745
It counts for you having good taste.

Alright, newfag here. Why are the subs for episode 19 not out yet?
>>32265794
Run?
>>32265795
Sushi is apparently having life issues that are causing SM19 to be postponed indefinitely.
>>32265795
We don't know. Adamant said the translation has been done since Monday last week, but that there's something causing a delay that he doesn't want to go in detail about.
>>32265806
does sushi still works for pm?
>>32265795
>newfag here

>>32265821
Yeah, she and Adamant just switched positions, which has sped things up a bit.
>>32265806I hope she's okay.
>>32265846
she is just busy with other stuff
He will revive, right? I mean, Ash and company with the 7 Poké Balls call Rayquaza...
>>32265883
I don't know. It feels like some pretty serious shit is going on in her life.

>you will never hug Litten while it wails inconsolably.

>>32265934Depressed
>>32265934
Eh
>>32265941
>implying I might be a heartless bastard
4chan is a shithole full of all kinds of cancer, but we're not all misanthropes with callous disregard for other people.
>>32265934
Sad because my favourite show premiered its new season with a subpar episode, no new character debut and songs that fail to live up to the standards set by their predecessors.
Also sad on behalf of Litten.
>>32265952
It's more autism than being heartless. Some people here really would care more about the subs for a jap anime for toddles than the well being of a person.
>>32265954You didn't get banned, did you?
>>32265959
Warned.
>>32265956
Yeah, but it's still better not to even ask that question unless someone really makes it sound like all they care about is the subs.

This is such a boring team. It's just the usual pika and then 2 starters,and the eventual regional bird. Rockruff is the only interesting one
>>32266228
Gen 7 in general doesn't have all that much to work with, and it doesn't help that most of the potentially interesting Pokemon have already been given to other characters.

More importantly what are they trying to hide that they've gone so long wiith out giving us much info in general
>>32266324
We never really get that much until mid April, though. This year there's no secret mythical to present in February/March, so there's less early reveals they can have.

>I really just want to see Rowlet find an Everstone and hold onto it like the one Piplup had, just for the explosion of cancer, autism and shitposting it'd cause on all of /vp/

It's the truth, the starterfagging is one of the most common types of cancer on the board now.

Tell that to the OPs of all those threads made today just to bash her.
>>32266377
OKAY SCOTT
The more I watch Sun and Moon the more I realize the main reason I can't see this as Ash is the eyes, they just look so off compared to every other version.
When their closed its fine but otherwise they just look so fucking small.
>>32266386
That obviously doesn't work because I still see you here.

I just finished watching the last episode. Did doggo really died. She kind of vanish and we don't know where it went.
>>32266612
Probably.
>>32266616
Yes.
>she
wat
Rate my 2.5D wife.
Did Rica ever reveal who her favorite female companion was? I don't think she's ever commented on Amourshipping, has she? For some reason I think she really liked Kasumi but mainly because she's friends with Mayumi, her Japanese VA in real life. And she probably has nostalgia working with her due to starting the anime together.
>>32266638
Scott is that you again?
>>32266638
This sounds like scott
>>32266638
Go away, Scott.
Rica also sang duets with Hikari's VA, so she was probably close with her as well.

>>32266705
Of course someone's life would be complete after that. Every real man's life is based around having kids with a 10/10.
>>32266856
Dude I fap with every anime female protag (videogames as well) but Lillie's the exact opposite to "eroctic" or "sexual", she's like a cute niece or daughter, she's just an innocent little girl.
>>32266883

I know a lot of it is just shitpost threads like you see with the SM starters, but it is a big reason why this place isn't as alive nowadays.
>>32267115
Nah, it's almost the same shitposting as here, while the occasional SM discussion doesn't go beyond "what will ash team be" and "why does this season look so shit".
>>32267115
>shitposters make their own shitpost threads to spam "hurr why is SM so shit" on a daily basis instead of spamming this thread
>this is a bad thing
What
>>32267188
I said a lot of them are shitpost threads, not all. Fuck all the shitpost ones, I'm more talking about ones like "which TRiomons are your favorites" that are usually fine here.
>>32267201
The thread that was made 6 hours ago and has 8 posts? Yeah, sure is a lot of discussion there.
The only problem I have with the anime is really the art style, especially for Satoshi/Pikachu/TR and how much often it's off model...
I don't really see that problem on other characters, excepting recently for the cotd girl face of ep 20 and sometime Nyabby.
>>32267206
Yeah, maybe it would have done better if more people learned to ask it here. Just saying.
>>32267216
>not having a problem with the excessive slapstick and gag faces, the lack of subplots or clear direction, the irrelevance of the classmates, the misuse of the school setting and the dearth of good, lengthy battles
>>32267201
There's always been occasional threads like that on /vp/, usually made by people that haven't watched the anime in ages.
The reason there are so many anime related threads nowadays is mostly just because of those autistic starter wars and those "Look at this screenshot, SM is so shit" threads, both of which are posted on a daily basis. And they can stay in their own threads.
>>32267222

Nothing wrong with the gags. Better than the old stiffness.
Every character has a subplot, especially Ash and Lillie. It has the same exact direction as past seasons but replace gyms with kahunas and z crystals, and league with whatever (possibly league). XY had nothing else at this point.
Relevant how? Not everyone needs to be in the spotlight.
What misuse? Most school anime barely use the school. It's just a context for things to happen. Who the fuck actually wants to watch them sit through class?
XY only had three long battles at this point: gym, rematch and battle chateau.

>>32267294
Yuyama.
>>32267292
>XY only had three long battles at this point: gym, rematch and battle chateau.
Not really, there were some others in there. Plus SM has had like two decent sized ones, the rest have all been pretty brief (ie, under a few minutes).
>>32267292
(you)
>>32267305
There weren't. They were all that brief besides those three.
>>32267292
>Every character has a subplot
"Dude balloon lmao" isn't a subplot. "Make computer programs" isn't one either. Lillie's subplot won't really start until late, Kiawe's hasn't really been explored much, and Mallow's is finding a good signature dish even though nothing about that one is inherently Pokemon related.
>>32267314
But there were more than three. You're forgetting them.
>>32267318
A subplot is a subplot, no matter how minor. You might as well say Ash and Clemont's rivalry wasn't a subplot because it spanned 2-3 episodes.
>Lilie's subplot won't really start until late
Her subplot already started, it just hasn't gotten to the Aether part yet. Also saying it will start late is conjecture.
>>32267337
>You might as well say Ash and Clemont's rivalry wasn't a subplot because it spanned 2-3 episodes.
What the fuck are you talking about?
>>32267332
How about you name them then?
All the other battles like Froakie vs Fletchling, Frogadier, Sylveon, and Bunnelby vs Heliolisk were only a few minutes long, as you said. Chespin vs Delphox was a bit longer but I doubt you're defending that one.
>>32267346
What are you confused about, underage?
>>32267337
>saying it will start late is a conjecture
So is saying that a bunch of those characters' "subplots" are actually subplots then.
Plus even if they are technically "subplots," the writers sure as hell did a piss poor job of making most anons here give a shit about them.
>>32267287
Reminder that Tamioka is a big Dawnfag (yep!) so Dawn have more chances, than May for ORAS, to return in the anime to a eventually DP remakes
Im not big surprised if SM games are conected to the story of DP remakes, so eventually the same thing will happend in the anime (cyrus, dialga, palkia, giratina, distortion world, ultrabeast, cynthia, lusamine) in this case Dawn might be a Lillie's childhood friend
>>32267361
>underage
>>32267363
It's safe to say those stories have not been wrapped up yet, so unless they drop them altogether (conjecture) they are still subplots. Rest is subjective.
- Ash got grass and fire starter, firt grass after fire
-Fire starter have sad backstory
- the blue haired lovely girl have the water starter
SM IS DP

>>32267372
>those stories
What "stories" for fat fuck and Lana? There pretty much are none. We see Sophocles make his silly computer programs, one of which he used to help Ash, but what is fat fuck working towards? What are the obstacles he will face? Who are the main characters who will figure in his "subplot"? Same question goes for Mallow, though at least we know what sort of end goal she's working towards. Lillie's and Kiawe's are the only ones that we have a good sense of in terms of their subplot stories.
Right now, it's generous to even call what Lana's doing a subplot, even though Popplio has managed to make bigger balloons with time.

>Kiawe
I don't see where his story will go desu
>>32267418
Why are you asking for details that we can't possibly know? Any interconnected series of events in a narrative is a plot. We don't know what they'll amount to, but "lack of subplots or direction" is disingenuous. Ash has game progression as always, Lillie has the major subplot apparently, and other character have other minor plots.
>>32267662
It's not they don't have subplots, it's that their subplots are shit. The Lana stuff is ridiculous, I like Lana a lot but I would rather see her with no goal/vague goal like Brock and Misty than the writers pretending she has one.
>>32267823
I miss them.
So, people here still think SM is bad? the last 2 episodes were fucking brilliant and better than any happy or sad episode from XY, the best part is that you can't prove me wrong.

The Ash and Pikachu episode was boring and based on the Bulbapedo forums, other people think the same.
Litten episode was great, god bless Tomioka.

>>32267870
The Ash and Pikachu one, besides being an obvious 20th anniversary thing, was another nothing-happens filler. Stoutland's episode was a good one, but it just makes it 4 or 5 good episodes out of 21. And with a bunch of filler upcoming (plus a TRio episode which might be good).
>>32267976
>nothing-happens filler.
Ash started a bonding with his next pokemon and meet Lele-chan.
>>32267976
>The Ash and Pikachu was a nothing happens episode
>Tfw it actually built up to Ash meeting up with the Wimpod it saved again on Akala Island and catching it ala Litten, ala Sandile
>>32267993
>>32268002
>really thinking Ash will catch Wimpod
>>32267993
>>32268002
I imagine you will insist Ash will capture it until the last episode of SM.
Have you even entertained the major possibility that it won't happen?
>>32268033
If Ash doesn't capture it during his visit to Akala I'll probably give up the idea, but Wimpod going back to Ash instead of just showing its gratitude in the water before just disappearing makes me believe something can happen.
Of course it could mean absolutely nothing, Alain's Charizard fell to its knee after a Thunderbolt but still kept on kicking the next episode no problem
>>32268058
Dude, Ash has bonded with countless of Pokemon he never catch. We have this every season.
>>32268064
Is it wrong to humor the thought that something could come out of it? Or should I just stick to only looking forward to episodes 24 and 25 until we get more news?
>>32267766
Her goal is actually more grounded than Kiawe's. Her endgame is to travel in baruun underwater. It's perfectly clear what's her goal.
Kiawe is your typical Fire trainer just like Misty/Iris were Water/Dragon trainers.
>>32265256
Only the movies are allowed to do that
>>32268084
>Her endgame is to travel in baruun underwater.
So realistic, not like she is going to die if the barunn pops
>>32265823
Be nice to new friends
>>32268073
Nah but saying the episode it's not filler because "Ash will totally catch it guys!" is dumb.
Now that Ash has 3 Alola Pokemon, he will not catch more until a year, probably.
>>32268058
Well, he DOES need a water type, and he sure as hell isn't getting Popplio
>>32268073
When has this show ever delivered?
>>32268121
>Well, he DOES need a water type
No, he doens't
>>32268099
Well, she tests it so it doesn't pop. Remember SM16 she made it stronger. In SM 5 baruun popped when Pika tried to go in, in SM 16 it was strong enough to hold Popplio and Rowlet/her little sister.
>>32268124
Overall or just this season? Because they both have
>>32268138
How dare you dismiss the creatures of the sea
>>32268113
Well in the off chance that Wimpod does become Ash's Mon will the episode he catches it not be filler and that one was?

I'm begin to think that XY for the people are the best because came after BW, if we put it after DP its false high level would go to hell. Probably most of the part of this thread are underages who's first season was Bw, makes sense for me, because i'm rewatching XY and i don't see the that quality that people say has, i'm not saying that SM is good but still...
Does anyone has a non-shit quality of this?

I'm really excited to see where the Meowth/Litten subplot goes. We've never really had something where a member of Team Rocket is actively involved with one of Ashs Pokemon.
Sure they've cheered on Chimchar up to Infernape, but they've never been a part of a Pokemons direct development before.

I love this shot, the faded and grim color pallet was fantastic this episode. A very large contrast to the usual bright and happy colors the show usually has.

The first year of XY was decent, but it had some nice episodes and Bonnie/Clemont were always enjoyable. Most people agree XY really picks up in its second year though.

>>32267870
The last two episodes were good. There's no doubting that.
However, these big special episodes were about as good as a typical filler episode of XY. It doesn't make up for the majority of the other episodes of SM being lackluster.
XY was consistently good with a nice group od episodes that were amazing and only a couple that were a really big miss. SM, on the other hand, has been mostly misses and just mediocre with one or two gems thrown in like EP21.
The problem is simple.
21 episodes into SM, people are still waiting for something to convince them that the show is actually worth watching.
21 episodes into XY, people were already given that "something" within the first few episodes. Even as early as the very first episode.
SM isn't "terrible" or anything. It's just not that great either. It may be decent for whatever weird thing it's trying to do, but as a proper Pokemon series, it's just not as good as XY or even the other past series.
Heck, even going back to BW, it feels more like a proper series than SM despite it's many flaws. SM actually does a good job of making BW look better.
The main thing SM has been good for is pic related. But memes, constant slapstick and slice-of-life scenarios with only occasional engaging moments for people to get invested in just aren't enough to keep this cruise ship sailing.
Is it safe?

>>32269042
Will it be the same until SM season end (2-4 years)?
>>32269051
I think the hype will never recover to mid 2014 levels because so many people got disappointed after Ash losing the league and Amour stuff being for nothing. But people will surely get a lot more hyped when a XY style season is airing again.
>>32269046
No, Mistyfags need to pay for their crimes. They talked shit about May and Dawn during their seasons
>>32269067
Most of us are now in our late 20's or 30's. Most of us won't be around by the next gen.
>>32269068
It's Shoko that should pay for her crime of influencing the decision to give Serena short hair. Women should have no say in the changes made to a waifu type of character and rather have no power at all.
>>32269067
But Serena and Ash are going to be a couple in the future
>>32269074
Exactly, that's why so many people came here to finally see the cartoon kid they grew up with finally put an end to his story. It would give it some conclusion for those who were watching since generation 1.
>>32269046
You mean the moment the Serena cameo is announced.
