>They give characters a Z-ring in a Series to promote Z-Moves

>They ignored a Key Stone for Ash in XY

This just shows how retarded the whole XY faggotry is. XY was a pure fan service Serena/Ash's League Victory pandering shit.

Ashnimefags btfo again hahaha

>>33403932
Are we getting ass fanservice again?

>>33403950

Because to Yajima, the protagonist was his precious lovechild Alain while Ash was just some burden he has to deal with.

>>33403987
Some autist that tries "manipulating" people into believing all sorts of crap. I think he's trying to pretend he made this thread or something.

As a general rule, if someone brings up Duplica out of nowhere, that's him trying to bring attention to himself.

>>33403995
We don't need duplica threads. Fuck off

>>33404006

How are Amourshippers reacting? I remember them laughing when Misty didn't show up in the movie.

>>33403970
So /vp/, let's check how many kids are on right now.

How many of you actually believe this is real. And be completely honest with me now. There is no shame in being stupid in /vp/, it's kind of a regular thing.

Besides abnormal activity in a freshly created thread, is there anything else that helps recognizing Duplica, in the writing style for example? Serious question.

I'm hyped for Misty and Brock's Cameo but lets not forget that these two will save SM and USM!

>>33404098
>>33404085

>>33404104
The best way to recognize you is that you talk about yourself in third person and reply to yourself a lot, constantly trying to steer the conversation onto how much of a super ebin trole you are.

>>33404109
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plnnYKPx0WM
you made me laugh hahaha

So how are Serenafags feeling right now? Honestly I know Misty's return is just temporary and she'll still not win Ash, but I can't help but feel a bit of a sense of schadenfreude given how annoying and unbearable Serenafags have become.

>>33404108
he killed himself

>>33404021
>M20 a Kanto movie
>outgrosses every XY movie
>two Kanto specials in SM
>higher ratings than any XY episode
>officially retcon Serena out of the show due to lack of fan interest

>>33404134
I mean, how are Serenafags reacting to the fact that Misty is returning? It must be weird that even Misty would come back earlier than Serena or even Iris.

So now these threads will be full of shitflinging between "Mistyfags" falseflagging and Amourfags?

I think I'm more excited about Brock coming back. I mean, it's been a while since Ash has seen him, right? Last time they saw each other was at the end of DP, which was several years ago.

>>33404134
It would be out-of-character because Ash canonically doesn't care about Serena.

Correct me if I'm wrong /padt/fags, but since we're soon seeing the Japanese version of the episode, will the TPIC have it dub in the future with another "Ash and Misty shipping" thing like 4kids did years ago?

>>33404154
>Differently drawn Pikachu is now a bad Pikachu because I'm an underaged shit who ccan't adapt for new stuff

>>33404154
They really fuck up his eyes most of the time. Seems like it has no soul. I would say it looks even worse than Ash.

>>33404157
Isn't it two?

But yeah, Mistyfags shouldn't delude themselves.

>>33404157
you know misty returned before that also as i said i am not a mistyfag i don't even like that bitch. Neither do i like amourfags so it is good 2 see that 2 shit things cancel eachother out so smooth and nice.

>>33404125
Why should we feel negative for Ash and Serena? I can tell you now that we see no romance scenes between Ash and Misty.

>>33403970
What is more laughable... Misty and Brock are equally as badly drawn as Ash. I think it's a freaking memento episode where Ash tells his classmates about his lousy beginning as a trainer.

Nostalshipperfags must stfu. Remember pokenchi dismissed Misty's crush and...

>>33404160
No.

>>33404151
>Melody, Latias and Serena kiss uninterested Ash
>Ash kisses Misty on the cheek before he leaves
the absolute denial that would result

The only laughable thing here is how this community thinks its better than Serebii or Bulbapedia while being just as obsessed with shipping as they are.

>>33404138
More like "Mistyfags" falseflagging about some supposed butthurt they insist is there yet mysteriously enough can't actually be seen anywhere.

>>33404176
The only ACTUALLY laughable thing here is your inability to recognize blatant falseflagging.

>Do you even watch SM? Sm Ash is an unstoppable winning machine.

And he should remain an unstoppable winning machine until he finally beat Alain and his Mega charizard X.

>>33404214
I bet Ash will beat them both easily.

He'll beat Brock because he hasn't trained, but lose to Misty since she's been a gym leader for a while.

watch the writers ignore all of the progress that has happened throughout the years and do the following:
>no tracey cameo
>no gary cameo
>brock goes back to being a pokemon breeder
>all of their pokemon outside of brock's steelix are going to be kantomons
>brock and misty's personalities are gone and they're nothing but cardboard paper that make the occasional memeface
>the two episodes are nothing but ash talking about how awesome kanto is

>>33404243
For sure, Ash hasn't won a single gym battle in Alola.

>>33404203
It's already too late.

>hey had to retort to the most extreme form of genwun pandering ever
lmao

Misty was in Kalos, got the keystone and killed serena

>>33404248
>>33404243

So ? Ash won against Totem and Kahuna.
He should able to beat any gym leader since he already beaten 46 of them

>>33404244
>implying Brock couldn't be both a doctor and a breeder

>>33404244
>>33404267

I'm sure he personally breeds with any Gardevoir that come along for treatment.

ASH BETTER GETS A KEYSTONE IN ALOLA ! HIS Z-RING ALREADY HAS AN EMPTY SPOT FOR A KEYSTONE AND NOW THERE IS NO EXCUSE WHEN HIS FORMER SIDEKICKS HAS MEGA POKEMON.

I only have one question: why do it now, of all times?

>>33404278
Z-Ring can Mega Evolve Pokemon too.

>>33404278
Ash already has FrogKouga

>>33404280
...because it's the 20th anniversary?

>>33404280
Did you miss the part where it's the 20th anniversary or something

>>33404133
I'd honestly imagine the staff will be looking at the ratings of these two episodes to see if there's any large interest in the two returning full-time. Doing this with only these two YEARS after they left is very telling.

>>33404280
20 year anniversary?

>>33404282
It still needs a Keystone

>>33404283

He already released it to fix Alain's mistake.

>>33403970
Delete thisss

>>33404265
Ahahaha!! Totem and Kahuna are just like Kanto BF. Only gloryfied gym leaders. No way Ash can beat 2 megas with only a yellow rat with piss-poor defense stats.

>>33404305
Pikachu has beat Megas before you know

>>33404234
No way. They will btfo Ash and be bewildered about if he just quitted, only to realize he "went back" to school.

>>33404308
Going back to school to get more knowledge about Pokemon when you're aiming to be a Pokemon Master probably wouldn't be seen as a bad thing.

>>33404221
Thanks to plot armor. He hasn't won a single battle outside of totem and kahuna battles. Even TR's Mimikyu almost killed Pikachu, if not for Bewear's interference.

>when you realize gen2~gen6 is not canon

For the love of fucking god, the AshxMisty ship sank 3000 years ago.
Everyone knows it's dead, even the autistic shippers deep down knew.

But now... Their hope/autism has been revived again and it will take another 3000 years to get them to shut up.

>>33404321
>when you realize the magazine references Brock's new goal, which he got in gen 4

>>33404317
Ash's goal isn't to become a master anymore, he now wants to befriend all Pokemon in the world like a damn ducking hippie.

>>33404327
It's the only ship normies care about. By that virtue alone, it's the only one that has a single shot of happening.

Result of Alan's anal violation to his froggo. Now, he became the typical autistic MC from the typical "lonely kid with no friends goes to an isekai world and gains courage to make real friends in the end" MC fron those old World Masterpiece Theater anime adaptations.

>>33404319
He lost only one battle with James.
He won against Abareru.
That's only onscreen battles he had outside Trials.

>>33404305

Ash's Pikachu has taken down Megas and Legendary pokemon before and now has Z-move.

Ash has a Special Dusk Lycanroc and now it can show its specialty by beating a Mega.

>>33404339
Okay

>>33404347
>the only pairing that has a chance of happening is the one that people that dropped the show 15 years ago care about
That's like saying the only games that have a chance to get remade are the gen 1 games, since they're the only ones normies care about. I don't think "people that don't watch anyway" are considered particularly worth pandering to

>>33404358
That must be why the newest movie did so well fampai.

>>33404366
Hah, I forgot about that.

>>33404371
You mean the one that didn't even have Misty in it because they didn't care about pandering to all these supposed normies that obsess over her?

>>33404362
>Ash has a Special Dusk Lycanroc
Weaker than froggo. Besides, it still hasn't shown a decent battle where it can display its potential... or fatal flaw

>>33404366
Actual OP (Mezase 20) doesn't show that afaik.

>>33404379

That why he will be battling Mega Steelix and show his special ability.

>>33404377
They pandered to the Gen 1 crowd that makes up the majority of the Pokeshipping base by doing everything but put her and Brock in, and that was the primary complaint people have consistently had with the movie.

>>33404386
>Aim To be A Pokemon Master doesn't mention Satoshi aims to be a Pokemon Master
Literally what?

>>33404393
While that's possible, knowing how anime production works, the episodes were probably in the works as early as March or early April, so it's more likely that this was planned from the start.

>>33404393
So these two episodes are just extreme genwun pandering?

>>33404386
>Aa, akogare no Pokemon Master ni naritai na! Naranakucha! Zettai natte yaru!

>>33404400
There's NO way these episodes weren't already written at the time they revealed Makoto and Soji. That happened 4 months ago.

Now that the dust is setting, what can we seriously expect from those two episodes? Real, plausible expectations, I mean.

>>33404400
Interviews have confirmed episodes spend 8 months in production from the time writing starts. They started working on them in January at the latest.

>>33404434
No one cares.

>>33404436
>replying

>>33404424
Hopefully a showcase of a bunch of his old Pokemon. The BW episode dropped the ball bad there.

>>33404436
>>33404438

Pokeshipping back from the grave motherfuckers

>>33404400
I'm not saying it wasn't planned from the start, I'm saying that it's completely stupid to say normies only care about Go when the newest movie has done so spectacularly well by targeting that group. These two episodes are them reaching them again with the two most-wanted things left out of the last movie.

>>33404424
>Ash shows his old pokemon to his classmates
>Oak meets Oak
>Probably a few flashbacks to the original series
>Ash beats Misty and Brock so people stop complaining that he didn't deserve their badges

not much I guess

>>33404450
If you think the TV show cares about pandering to people that haven't watched it in fucking ages, you're retarded. What the literal hell would the point of that be? Do you think they get one dollar for each person that watches a specific episode or something?

>>33404444
No it's not. Honestly shippers need to stop drinking the Kool-Aid: he'll never win a girl.

>>33404456
>Probably a few flashbacks to the original series
>SM style flashbacks
Oh god no. The BW style ones were bad enough.

>>33404424
Hoping for a bunch of interaction with his old Pokémon desu.

I hope Rotom stays behind

>>33404457
>If you think the TV show cares about pandering to people that haven't watched it in fucking ages, you're retarded.
My god, if you are seriously unable to make the connection between these two appearing and who they're targeting, especially with how much they've been going after that crowd for the last several years, you are literally too stupid and smooth-brained to live.
>What the literal hell would the point of that be?
To boost interest in the show? What type of dumb question is this?

>>33404465
This is all I'm really expecting. I can't see much else really happening. Kasumi and Takeshi don't have particularly interesting careers they can use for anything, and it's ridiculous to expect anything like a Rocket-centric arc or anything.

Adamant, if you're there, I've got an idea for your subs:
Give priority to SM42-43 and sub them as fast as possible, even if you have to skip all the episodes between SM27 and them. I mean, they're the episodes people will be most expectant for, so why not?

>>33404327
I agree the AshxMisty ship sank ages ago, but I hope you don't think the Serena one is any more likely. I don't believe any ship with Ash will ever happen because 1. he's asexual and retarded and 2. the writers don't care about the overarching story of this show, but sadly if any of them do happen, the Misty ship has the best chance just because she she was the first female protagonist, which is more important and memorable than Serena who was the 5th or 6th or whatever. Either that or whoever happens to be the main female protagonist when the show ends.

>>33404478
"Boost interest" for what purpose? They're not profiting from any "muh Kanto only" faggots that will come back, watch two episodes, then never touch the show again.

>>33404484
Speaking of which will TR be in these episodes? I assume they will be so there'll probably be some dumb thing about them going to Kanto to see Giovanni directly or something.

>>33404488
The thought has hit me.

>>33404503
They weren't in the Akala arc, so I have my extreme doubts.

>>33404503
>TR get some of their old pokemon back
!!!!

>>33404503
You didn't even need to ask that. The answer is obvious.

>>33404495
Pretty much this. Of all the Pokegirls, Misty is the mostly likely one to win, but that's not saying much: her chances of winning are like 1 in 100000000000000000000.

>>33404518
You can stop samefagging now.

It's nice to see to see this general moving at this pace after a long time.

>>33404456
>>Ash shows his old pokemon to his classmates
At least this, or I'll be mad

>>33404518
No, she isn't the most likely. No girl will ever win.

>>33404495
>but I hope you don't think the Serena one is any more likely
I don't ship

>>33404522
>it took SM bringing in shit from a non-SM series to get the thread moving
Really makes you think.

>>33404528
Stop replying to bait.

>>33404280
It kills two Pikipek with one Geodude: 20th anniversary and if there is any kanto interaction in USM, this is a decent cameo

>>33404526
I know. No girl will ever win. But of all the girls, Misty has the "biggest" chance, followed by whoever the last girl will be. But the chances for them winning are so low that it's more likely that Ash marries Pikachu than any of those.

I HATE THIS UGLY AS FUCK ART STYLE

Seriously who the fuck over at OLM thought to him/herself - "Yeah, this art style with thin outlines, no shading, no details really is a visual improvement".

Just because you don't agree with it doesn't mean it's bait. That was my real opinion. And Ash x Misty is my second most hated ship besides Ash x Serena (I refuse to call them "Pokeshipping", etc. because those names were arbitrarily made up by Bulbapedia and are stupid as fuck).

That's how they are reacting

What bothers me the most about it, besides Ash and TR hideous faces, is those lightly colored spots on the hair of every character. That's not how lighting should be drawn.

I'm sure you have links proving this. Right?

I haven't seen a single person complaining about Serena. Do people really enjoy this false flagging shit

It's literally the most common form of shitposting on /vp/. I think that starterwar bullshit primarily consists of that too.

You're right, it's impossible that more than one person shares an opinion that doesn't align with your own, it makes you mad so it must be the same person trolling you.

It's literally the same fucking post slightly reworded, spergo. But nice try.

>>33404457
If they're not then why the hell would they bring them back at all?

>>33404604
To celebrate the anniversary, as has been pointed out a million times.

>>33404604
Because Gen 7's schtick is Gen 1 pandering because of Pokemon's 20th anniversary. Did the games being full of Kanto references and M20 being based around Ash and Ho-oh's encounter in the first episode not give you any hint?

>amourfags are seriously this angry with serena being BTFO by the writers for Misty

>>33404611
And the most popular characters get brought back for these special occasions, as has been pointed out a million times.

>>33404641
maybe if she was actually like that in the anime

>>33404646
They're bringing back the original character for the same reason the movie retold the original first episode - because it's the anniversary of THAT.

Why is this such a complicated concept to get?

>>33404619
And what is the point of said anniversary celebration if not to get old fans back in?

>>33404645
>shooping Cristy's art of Alola Serena
No.

>>33404656
Are you autistic? Legit question.

>>33404652
What are you talking about? Literally a few months ago people complained that nobody should have expected Misty and Brock to return since it was the anniversary of the entire anime and not just Kanto, and now the argument is that they only returned because its the anniversary of Kanto?

How bad is the cognitive dissonance you have?

>>33404656
That's not the main point of an anniversary celebration, dumbass.

>>33404500
Gets more people talking about it and reminds them that it actually exists, maybe. I don't know, but I'm not the person you were responding to, but they make sense to me, since many more people watched the show in its heyday than who watch it now. Even if only some of them stick around, that's still more viewers.

>>33404160
I hope not. As much as I hate Ash x Serena, at least something you can say for it is that it was actually intended by the writers and not a fanfic made up by the English dubbing company. And as bad as Pokemon USA (or whatever they're called) is, they don't seem to change as much as 4Kids did, at least plot wise.

>>33404619
So it's the same stupid shit excuse people gave to XY since it was heavy in Kanto content?

At what point do you just realize that it gets attention because it's far more popular than anything else? Seriously, what do they have to do to convince you of this?

Guys, guys listen.
What if Brock hits on Mallow

>>33404660
>i-it's a legit question! trust me!
are you stupid? you're only saying that just to get somebody here buttmad. why would anybody here on 4chan say that this is a legit question when everybody else constantly uses autism as an insult?

>>33404671
The anime is massively popular in Japan and gets heavily advertised. Japan isn't burgerland.

>>33404679
>when everybody else constantly uses autism as an insult
I can smell the reddit out of you.

>>33404682
Viewership is literally a quarter of what they used to be in Japan, that country is not your "Pokemon never left" projection land.

>>33404671
>reminds them that it actually exists
Anipoke is a trend on Thursdays in Japanese twitter, and the series regularly ranks in the top 10 of kodomo-shines anime in the Kanto region (yeah, I know, >ratings). Also, what >>33404682 said.

>>33404689
But Pokémon never left

So, to catch an anon up on things, how many trials has our autistic protag completed so far, how many kahunas has he fought so far, and how is the Ashbowl looking so far for our usual round of girls inevitably destined to be left behind because Ash is gay for Pika? Also, on a scale of Kalos to Unova, how is his teamu looking so far?

Man, the next PMGals will be sick.

>>33404689
Live viewership of every TV show is literally a quarter of what it used to be. It's called "People don't need to watch TV shows live to watch them in this day and age".

Go be autistic elsewhere now.

3 complain ---

--- Why the hell Misty and Brock allow to get Mega Pokemon when the producer kept refusing to give Ash a mega pokemon ?

--- Why Misty and Brock wearing their old clothes? Does Kanda run out of money to create better clothes for them ?

---This stupid shitty artstyle of S/M anime that making Misty look ugly.

I don't give a fuck about the swift movement this S/M animation suppose to have since most S/M battle are boring.
I am freaking angry out Misty looking so much unattractive compare to original series because of this shitty artstyle.

No they're not. Go check out old Conan ratings and compare them to the new, they have not dropped by three-fourths or anywhere near that.

I was thinking of dropping SM after Lana's episode, but I think I'll stay for the two Kanto episodes.

You have to be over 18 to post on 4chan.

Not to mention Pokemon lost a huge chunk of that viewership in Johto and Hoenn, before the internet was a thing large swaths of people use to watch TV.

As usual, people here don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

>>33404726
This guy knows what's up.

>>33404602
You sound like a conspiracy theorist. You started talking about samefags when you responded to some guy who was agreeing with me. Why the fuck would I respond to myself and pretend to be a different person? To be fair, that guy might possibly be trolling, but I'm not. The only posts I made about the subject were >>33404554 and >>33404495. If there were any others I wouldn't mind admitting that. I'm actually trying to be nice here, not everyone is out to get you.

Is this the most exciting SM has ever been?

>>33404780
Ok reddit

>>33404682
>>33404694
I know it's actually somewhat relevant in Japan unlike America, but I imagine it was still more popular during Kanto. I could be wrong, though.

Yeah, and this is a 20th anniversary special episode featuring a cameo from two beloved characters from yesteryear. Bringing them back for an "extracurricular class" is a total joke.

Fucking Matsui. You had ONE JOB.

>>33404788
It's a dumb argument anyway. People that haven't been watching for 15 years aren't any kind of demographic, and those people are not going to start watching weekly and suddenly start buying tons of merch because you gave two old characters a two episode cameo. That's not how anything has ever worked.

>>33404789
I came here in the first place because I have autism.

>>33404788
You arent, Pokemania was also yuge in Japen, believe me. The point is, the anime (and all things anime-related) in the island never had the decline it had here in gaijin lands.

So, what role will Ash's old friends have in this "extracurricular class" anyways? I hope they don't simply stand around in the background and waste oxygen like most of Ash's Pokemon School classmates do in your garden-variety SM episode.

>>33404832
Probably nothing. They're clearly going to Pallet to see Oak, any other characters are just going to be there because.

>>33404828
Couple new manga chapters and not much more.

>>33403970

I actually hope this is true.

>>33404844
Of course it's true.

>>33404798
And only for two episodes. Misty herself and May had five episodes each in AG and DP, respectively, and Dawn had ten during BW.

>>33404828

Just imagine the chemistry between this duck and the owl.

>>33404832
I imagine each episode will be dedicated to one of them.

Now that Misty are back, post your favorites cameos episodes, /padt/.

I never watched all DP and I barely remember Misty after Johto.

>>33404879
Literally the only good ones were the Mikuri Cup arc from DP.

>jannies are actually banning obvious falseflaggers now
Huh.

>>33404879
May's cameo was good. I thought Dawn's was a total waste though.

>>33404903
It was. That arc was so panifully blatantly an already written arc that got rewritten to force her into it.

>>33404803
I don't think they'd become huge fans of it, but fair enough. Why do you think they did it if not to raise interest in the show?

>>33404863
I wish, but I don't think Tracey is coming back either.
