Ash just needs to get his charizard and rape the guy

I've tried watching XY but I just keep noticing that Satoshi/Ash from season 1 was a lot more expressive and had more humor.

Does that change later on? I'm all for "friendship is everything" but not 24/7.

>>140469080
Depends on what you mean. If you watched the dub, 4Kids yukked up the script somewhat too.

I watched sub and am currently on episode 15.

What I mostly mean is that there were a lot of times that he just got angry and shit that didn't involve TR or something. Like when Primeape stole his hat, when he cross dressed as a girl just to challenge a gym etc etc.

It isn't just him either. Pikachu turned pretty bland as well.

>>140466896
Greninja is getting seriously strong.

Mega Charizard was able to go at it with 50% Zygarde and Greninja was actually keeping up until Ash fainted.

At this point, he might just be Ash's strongest Pokemon.

>>140472696
No, but Satoshi Gekkouga is not a mega evolution, it's something else. There's a running subplot where they're trying to find out WHAT it is.

>>140472696
Only this particular one. It's a special ninja transformation that's different from other mega evolutions, though it does give off the same energy.

XY/XY&Z is not bad at all, please don't just hate on it because you watched it back in elementary school and want to feel more mature on this anonymous imageboard.

Here's hoping that one day Ash's Charizard comes back...

And Richie with his Charizard and have a friendly match between Ash's Mega Charizard X and Richie's Mega Zippo Y

>>140472831
It doesn't.

>>140472831
There is no Gekkouganite. It's a new made-up power for the MC just like in your battle shonens.

>>140472739

>>140472815

>>140469284
>Maturing is now becoming bland

It's called character development. Fuck, this is actually made obvious when Aipom steals his hat and he's cool about it, saying that's it's just a hat.

>>140472831
Both Mega Stones and key stones are extremely rare in the anime and people that have them keep them secret to the point where even the guy that studies them treats many mega evolutions as just urban legends.

>>140472880
Pokemon has been bad all the way up to and including X&Y, I doubt X&Y&Z is going to be any different.

>>140472884
>Ash getting X and not Y
>Wanting that faggot Richie back
>The battle not being between Alan's X or Trevor's X

>>140469284
No, I meant the dub of season 1. While the series had this constant comedic air to it in the original too, a lot of the banter and constant punning and joking dialogue was made up by the dub.

>>140472993
I'm all for character development, but it just makes a kids show like Pokemon bland.

We effectively have an MC that is mature in behavior but still dense about girls.

>>140472281
And you really believe what a random anon claims?

>>140473024
>Bad

Are you kidding me? It's one of the most respected children's programs in Japan. You know the kind, with all the celebrity guests and shit? If you get offered a role on Pokemon, no matter how small, few voice actors are able to turn that down. It's considered to be an honor.

Also, it has far better animation than just about anything else on TV right now.

He's getting less and less dense

Pokemon is only worth watching at the league just to see what retarded way Ash loses this time around. Tried watching but Serena a shit if you're not an autistic shipper and Clemont/Bonnie aren't important.

>>140473333
His loss in the Sinnoh tournament wasn't that bad. He managed to take down a Darkrai and a Latios with him, so it was a pretty satisfying battle.

>>140473243
>>140471381
>there are seriously people like this on /a/
What the fuck is the point of a Pokemon board if we let them have threads wherever they want anyway?

>>140473374
That battle was animated like shit. What he accomplished was cool and all but it wasn't a battle with any rewatch value because it looks so bad.

The full battle with Shinji was and is great though. That was the real peak of the tournament and show.

>>140473243
>Are you kidding me? It's one of the most respected children's programs in Japan. You know the kind, with all the celebrity guests and shit?
So what, that doesn't automatically make it good.
>Also, it has far better animation than just about anything else on TV right now.
God no.

>>140473421
The Pokemon board was created because threads on /v/ always get out of hand whenever a new generation's being launched. It's not against the rules to make threads about it in other boards.

>>140473421
The answer is that little "v" in /vp/. It's a board that was made because the Pokemon talk on /v/ was so prominent it pushed so much other discussion out.

It's never had anything to do with /a/, nor has it ever been a containment board like /mlp/. Pokemon threads are allowed where they're relevant.

>>140473421
The board was made so they wouldn't overwhelm /v/. There's not even a rule that bars them from other boards.

>>140473421
>please keep anime off of /a/
Do you also bitch like this on all mecha anime threads?

>>140473374
It was obvious that the writers didn't have a convincing way for DP Ash to lose so they threw legendaries at him. Makes you wonder what's going to happen with XY Ash as he seems even more competent.

They seem to be genuinely hinting towards him winning and going up against the Elite Four, but then again, they seemed to be doing that in DP too.

>>140473679
They're not going to just let him win are they? Maybe S&M will have a new protag that eventually challenges Ash after he becomes the champ or some shit?

>>140471941

>>140473718 (me)

sorry m8, I made this redundant.

>>140473679
I'm thinking they might actually have Ash win the Kalos League or cancel it because of Team Flare putting their master plan in motion.

Alain implied he might be at the Kalos League and half of his team is already know because of merchandise in Japan(Charizard,Metagross and Tyranitar)

>>140473679
It's more like they already had several decent battles and it would be anticlimactic for him to lose against a normal trainer. I mean, there's nothing that would have stopped him from losing to someone who didn't have a team of legendaries. Ash isn't the strongest trainer in the world. There are plenty of people who'd be stronger than him. If the Pokemon world is anything like our own, there are six billion people living on that planet and most of them are trainers.

>>140473276
Has he?
If he really cared about her, he'd fucking banged her at this point. Guys knows when he loves a woman and she loves him back. He doesn't care.

>>140473753
XY was them managing to recover from the shitshow that was BW's crazy experiments and make a show that feels more like a continuation of DP. It's EXTREMELY unlikely they're going to take more dumb risks with unnecessary experiments like "let's reboot everything and start over with a new protag and hope kids like him" when they can continue with what they KNOW works instead.

Greninja's transformation grants Greninja power but Ash feels the pain Greninja feels when it is battling.

This is legitimately the first time Ash has ever gotten sick without being explicitly inflicted by something like Stun Spore, though. In Japan, they say idiots don't get colds.

>>140476636

It wasn't about winning, it was giving Noivern battle experience.

>>140476636
>>140476783
Also, it was just a friendly trainer battle with nothing on the line, it makes sense Ash would want to test out his newly evolved mon.

I don't understand why people in this thread are so upset. Some of you are acting like pokemon is beneath anime and only meant for kids yet most of the discussion on /a/ is about shit shows meant for kids anyway. Also isn't most anime meant for younger people? To what degree are you holding anime so high and why would someone discredit pokemon x/y without watching it? It's pretty good from what I've seen, a huge improvement from the last seasons. And on /a/ you can discuss any anime, including pokemon and naruto.

I'd watch 63 and 87 also.

I'm going to be honest here. I have only watched gate, OPM, dbz and pokemon when it comes to anime. I see nothing wrong in liking something made for a younger audiens though. As long as you enjoy it.

I'm thinking about watching full metal alchemist though. Is it worth watching?

Oh ok. 12 is okay enough, but it's not an episode people will sing the praises of.

Reminder that Ash has never won an official Pokemon League and never will.

Considering how every new region has new tagalong partners, why can't they have a season where Ash plays the mentor character?

Bonnie eps are the best part of the saga. Unlike past arcs which only focus on Ash and the main girl, Bonnie and Clemont get nearly as much screentime as Serena does so no character is left out.

Its not like in past sagas where Brock was always ignored as part of the background and barely did anything except when he got the odd filler episodes.

Mega charizard x is part dragon which means it's neutral to water.

Yes because that makes for an interesting and suspenseful fight, alright

AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

Greninja never hit it with a water type move, and Megazard X is neutral to water.

>>140479002
Buildup for yet another signature move for Greninja

>>140479428
I'm just saying that this is a thread on /a/ about an anime. The sub calls them by their Japanese names and the only way to know their English names is to play the game in English or watch the dub.

And it's not an adaptation. More like a work in an expensive franchise.

That just proves how incompetent he is. Misses with any attacks that matter and lets the enemy mega evolve as a result. I don't know how anyone could get "greninja is strong" from that fight.

>>140479556

What? It's adapting the content from the games into a show. It's an adaptation.

Yes, the games are the source material. You play them in English just like you read manga in English. In DBZ threads do you call them Kuririn and Tenshinhan?

>>140479634
You do realize Alan could have mega'd from the get-go, right?

>>140479634

Wow it's almost like the enemy is really fucking strong and fighting him back.

>>140479683
Did you even watch it? They had to sync their wiggly waves first which only happened after greninja got his ass beat

>>140479659
It's not an adaptation. Don't be retarded. It's an add and takes a lot of content from the game it's advertising but it's not an adaptation.

>>140479659
>In DBZ threads do you call them Kuririn and Tenshinhan?

What the hell else would you call them?

>>140479740
Yes but Ash is not Alan, tard. He can freely mega

>>140479580
Place holder? iirc it's had Cut from early on in the series. You can't make this shit up, giving one of the weakest crap moves to one of Ash's supposedly strongest Pokemon.

Are they gonna give his Charizard Tackle and Scratch when it returns next time? kek

And Charizard only mega evolved when Greninja started winning.

Don't be stupid, hitting him with water wouldn't suddenly win the fight.

>>140479775
Charizard can't learn Tackle.

Also, for some reason, Cut's pretty effective. Although they should really replace it with Night Slash or something. Why DOESN'T it know Night Slash? That'd be perfect for it.

Trading card games don't have a story you stupid fuck. The anime uses a substantial amount of the same content and characters as the games. The games are the source material for those characters and you experience that material primarily in English.

No it doesn't. He literally did what you're describing in DP and it didn't "steamroll him to champion". He didn't even win the league. In DP he was more serious about winning a league than he's been before or since and he still didn't win. Watch the show.
