Ash and Serena both look 16 here.

Too bad this is the end of this art style. For once I actually believed Ash could have been wrapped up as a character, especially with it being the 20th year of the show. Too bad S/M looks so bad.

I don't know why Serena kissu remind me about that episode Yusei Fudo from YGO 5D's "kissed" Aki.

That's quite nice and supposed to be canon but only if they ended the anime right there.

That was their mistake, otherwise if there's another gen, then it all doesn't matter.

I love how the /a/ thread got more replies than the /vp/ thread.

That pretty much confirms Pokémon's roots on this website.

>>149100157
Also, Ash was kissed by a girl who was probably Latias in the 5th pokemon movie. The XY staff might really feel pity to end it like this and that`s why they put easter eggs here.

>>149100107
She didn't touch Johto.

>>149100617
Thing is in the movie it was a cheek kiss. This one went mouth kissing.

>>149100259
>>149100261
There's cameos, her doing contests sets her up for DP remakes, they pretty much prepared.

Reminder that at the beginning of the episode, Ash's mom told everyone they were free to visit Ash's place anytime. Everyone got excited, and Serena was shown blushing.

This episode was loaded with headcanon fuel.

Never bring that up ever again. There are people out there that still believe they kiss and delude others it's on the fucking DVD. I have the DVD version and the scene is the exact same as in the tv version.

>Serena’s flight was “Latias H71" (it is said right before the kiss scene starts). Serena was going to Hoenn, so the #71 in the Hoenn dex is Mawile - or in Japanese, Kuchitto. Kuchi (Mouth) and To (with). Or in a rough translation, “Latias - but with the mouth”.

>It’s the writers saying: “We can’t actually show you what they did because of censors, but she basically did what Latias did in the 5th film, but with the mouth.”

I thought showing her feet on the escalator was a strong touch. It's a surprisingly good scene.

>>149100107
I remember seeing people on /a/ argue it wouldn't happen. I don't even need to watch the show to know Ash passes through shittons of girls whenever there's a new game to promote.

>>149104870

942 episodes to date.

Started at 10 years old

Assuming that every episode is exactly one day: 942/365 (1 year) = 2.58 years.

Ash is at are minimum 12.5 years old.

This is a massive underball because I'm pretty confident that many episodes took place over the span of 2 days or more. Not to mention travel time between cities.

Now I'm curious as to how much time has actually passed just based on episodes. Is there anyone here with enough autism to go through all the episodes?

>>149105637
Wait is this actually true? That'd be a pretty cool Easter egg

>>149107103
I don't understand nip, but the intercom ladies definitely mentioned an arrival of "flight latias something something", so at the least the planes are indeed named after pokemon

>>149107081

It's legit. Which is kinda fucking crazy.

>>149100438
The Pokemon anime general on /vp/ went through like 15 threads yesterday.

>>149108672
That's actually awesome. I love when writers for games/movies/shows do things like this. Shows the human element behind all the marketing and whatnot.

It's subtle, but not so subtle to be some weird crazy fan conspiracy theory that requires like 10 degrees of separation between each step in the logic. It's pretty straightforward and seems entirely plausible that it was done intentionally.

Wait, is Serena meant to be French?

We got cucked from the league but we at least got this. It's something I guess.

It sets up the XY arc and XY episode 1 assumes you've seen it, so it's a better place to start than that.

Also, here's the viewing order pasta from /vp/

Is Pokemon the most NEET friendly fictional world?

I can't think of any other fictional world where it is perfectly fine to be a 10 year old school dropout.

>>149126908
Pretty sure most shows like Yugioh and whatnot would let people cruise along on the skills in card games no matter what kind of schooling they have

>>149126426
>>149126783
No way. He fucking confirmed it too?

>>149127015
He said it was the correct answer on twitter.

Is Ash still 10?

>>149127067
Yes.

>>149127041
What a madman.

>>149104679
Is Ash Italian now?

>>149127156
Ash/Serena is obviously intended endgame, but it may not matter with the anime about to go through a reboot.

>>149127280
That doesn't mean they can't continue this after Sun and Moon.

Will Serena ever return in future seasons.

>>149127385
Most likely. All the other girls have apart from Iris, and she's Iris.

>censoring kissing

The fuck

>>149127280
It depends how they go about it with SM and after. Fact of the matter is Ash/Serena is the endgame for when Pokemon ends.

They might decide to have Serena cameo as a transfer student for part of the time in the tailend of SM, after at his house, shit like that.

>>149122609
before watching XY do i have to watch BW ? I remember watching the originals and DP though.

>>149127449
Each series is self-contained. You can start at the first XY episode.

>>149127385
Probably. If you follow character status quo, she's not in purgatory (Johto), Delia invites her to Ash's house. Character appearance is kind of iffy because girls would show up, but Iris didn't. Although something to take into account is that Iris wasn't liked.

>>149127408
Mouth to mouth.

>>149127449
Just follow that guide. Decolora Adventure 20 takes place after Satoshi has separated from his BW friends, and is returning home together with Pansy, a reporter he met some episodes earlier that traveled with the group for a short while since she was on her way to Kanto to interview professor Okido.

Pansy is from Kalos, so most of that episode is spent setting up Satoshi's desire to travel there as well.

>>149127280
Or maybe not that far in time. Serena might come back again like every other past pokegirl (except Iris)

>>149125463

Is there some sort of time-line / Inforgraphics explaining events in each series? I want to get into Pokemon again but don't feel I have enough time to watch through every episode.

>>149127734
She doesn't exist in the anime.

>>149127849
Not really, but as mentioned, each series is relatively self-contained and references to old shit tends to get properly explained.

>>149127734
Daisy Oak . Search her up

>>149127790
Dawn a best.

>>149127895
XY also more or less goes out of its way to not reference things from earlier series.

>>149126908
The world pretty much revolves around Pokemon.
You could become a great Pokemon scholar like Oak, or just a very strong trainer like Lance or Steven, and you'd get respect.

Gym Leaders are also held in high regard.
As long as you do something with Pokemon you're set.

>>149127968
>dawnfags BTFO'd so hard by Serena

>>149128061
It does do some references if you've seen previous series.

>>149128167
It does, but nearly all of them will just look like generic dialogue if you haven't.

>>149127968
Chicken a best.

>>149126908
>Is Pokemon the most NEET friendly fictional world?
Fuck no. More like the most /out/ friendly world if anything. To be a trainer you have to go out in the wild and train and survive and travel and more.

You will never a trainer, gym leader, e4 or even a professor if all you do is sit your NEET ass at home. Being involved with Pokemon and give yourself a name with them is a 24/7 work.

Too bad Ash still lost the battle and it all meant absolutely nothing in the end for the sixth time.

>>149100063
Who is this? Misty 2.0?

>>149128558
It was so frustrating. It was the perfect chance, it was not even like in DP where Ash' goal was to prove Paul wrong and beat the shit out of him, there was no subplot, just league. Everything was on point and they blew it. If even the animators were mad imagine how mad must have been the people forced to write Ash losing again. Fucking old men in suits ruin everything for everyone.

>>149128744
I guess it's just time to accept that the Pokemon anime, much like Pretty Cure, Dragon Ball, One Piece, and every single Toku series, has just become a massive advertisement, quality be damned.

>>149128664
Misty 2.0 is Iris.
That is Ash's canonical waifu, Serena.

Technically there was. Those last few league episodes really made it clear Alan was "fighting for Manon".

>>149128787
Most anime are ads for something.

Precure has it's moments. I didn't like GoPri much but it's undeniable that the staff put all it's heart and blood on it.

Super is mostly suffering from production issues because Toei gotta Toei.

Wan Piss though, there's no excuse.

And then when best dad gets beat up by Zapdos Noivern evolves to save his has and take revenge.


Fuck man, Ash's Kalos team was ace.
However, I am a bit salty they had to make him have his own totally NOTMEGAEVOLUTION GUYS for Greninja.

He has 4 fucking Mega able Pokemon in Sceptile, Glalie, Charizard, and Heracross.

Still, the scenes with Ash-Greninja were awesome. Especially his battle with Diantha

>>149128850
Which is bullshit because there's no fucking development of their relationship before the big bad thing happens to Hari-san and suddenly he needs to protect her smile.

>>149128919
They really needed more episodes, but Act II makes it pretty clear Manon has traveled with him for a while. The opening narration to Act IV also blatantly spells out how much Manon means to him.

>>149128913
And now with Alola being all muh z-moves the chances of mega are very unlikely again. It's a big bummer.

Maybe when the Alola League opens in the anime it'll happen, I'm not betting on it though.

Those Manon's Mega Evolution Diary things really should have been in the form of actual snippets from Alan and Manon's journey showin them bond instead of the "Manon info dumps crap you probably don't care about" format they had.
Those things were all new animation anyway.

Yeah, I had high hopes for Ash using Mega evolution, would also be a great chance to shine some light on his older mons.

But we all know that IF he'd use Mega Evolution it would have been fucking Charizard.

Not that I don't like Charizard, but it would have been a great chance to give his other mons like Sceptile or Heracross some love.

Especially Sceptile man, I love that mon in general, and his Mega is awesome.

Still, Z-moves have potential to give us awesome Tokusentai or JoJo poses.

I can't really believe they didn't wrap up ash with this anime. It would be fucking perfect.

>>149129212
I'm glad they didn't. I like him and want to keep following his adventures.

They wouldn't need to retire him either, he could have won the league and got to the "World Championship", which Cynthia actually talks about in one episode.

Also, you must be the only person in the entire earth.

>You repeating this again is getting incredibly tedious.
Well, that's your problem m8. Chill a little.

>>149129843
And? It's a kiss. What exactly are you expecting is going to happen next? They declare their mutual love for each other and she stays with him and they hook up? Oh, wait. No she didn't. She left and will no longer become relevant, like the rest of the other companions for the nearly past 20 years. I have no idea why you suddenly think that she will be the lone exception.

I have seen more lewd things that resulted in a grand total of zero flag raising. And that's not mentioning the fact that Serena ultimately did end up leaving. You will need some incredibly compelling evidence to prove that Serena is the final girl and not just another companion that's to be replaced at the end of every season.

Not to mention a girl kissing the MC early/halfway through the series means she lost already, you are supposed to save the kiss for the final of the series. Don't even bother, those shippers from /vp/ are blinded by their own delusions and don't even watch that much anime.

what did she mean by this??!

>>149130269
I gave you the word of god in my previous post.

Status quo would supposedly dictate that she never appears again because Iris didn't while the same status quo dictates that unneeded characters go to Johto and she's not there.

I've seen many that result as the loser, but I've seen many more as the winner. Going with anime rules, Serena pretty much raised the winning flags already.

>>149130346
You're the one that's trying to convince people that the kiss means Serena had won despite the fact that she ended up leaving. Telling me to chill instead of an actual rebuttal doesn't make your point any less wrong.

Cynthia is second place.

>>149130477
Considering how many directors and writers Pokemon has gone through, I would like to know why I should take this word of god as canon over any of the other 20 years worth of words of god.

>>149130564
She didn't. Do you think the anime ended or what?

Why does it feel like that guy that always comes into Pokemon threads to shitpost and randomly bring up /vp/ just arrived?

>>149130635
People are posting screencaps from /vp/. It was inevitable.

>>149130368
When it comes to a show like Pokemon that kiss is more than likely more than any other possible ship this show has now or will have in the future.

>>149130635
Which guy? Because from what I can tell, there's like several of them, each with their own agenda to shitpost in these threads. You even have shitposters that likes to accuse other people as being other shitposters to discredit their post.

>>149130582
Writers have been the same from the beginning with a couple of additions and a couple of subtractions, only three directors, head writer's been the same since DP and he wrote that episode, and I'm pretty sure the director told said head writer to put it in. He even said he put a hidden message.

As for directors, only been three

>>149130711
So, three words of god, and we're getting a new one for the next season. So why is this one so much more canon than the rest?

>>149130606
You do know the XY series ended already, and Serena doing what she did was of the end of it.

Hell, taking the most hated thing, Nardo's still up and running even though the main of it is done.

>>149130773
What "rest" are you even talking about?

>>149130788
Not that guy but why are comparing a shounen series to kids show like pokemon? Naruto has far more continuity than the pokemon anime.

>people expecting continuity in pokemon
>expecting anything to come of this

I like to think of it as a collection of AU stories.

>>149130829
Why is what this director put down as 'the canon ship' any more credible that what the SM director is going to put out? Or hell, what if the previous director had said he supported Misty, are we suppose to believe AshXMisty would actually be canon as well?

>>149130886
So you don't even have any words of god to refer to? How surprising.

Go back to /v/ or wherever you came from now.

>>149130872
I'm just saying because they were pulling shounen series elements.

I mean for the record of things Pokemon does have some continuity.

>>149130980
Of course there isn't any words of god, because it doesn't matter when it's a 20 year long franchise with multiple directors. Not to mention, this isn't even the original director, so you can't even claim this is how it was suppose to originally end up. Claiming word of god when there are multiple people that can put up such a claim is utterly worthless, especially when the real word of god is the people funding the anime aka GF.

>>149131056
Yeah but that was in XY, which is also considered the series with less continuity so far, and now it seems like they are trying the to achieve polar opposite with SM. Applying continuity in pokemon is the last thing one should do.

>>149130886
Besides him putting it down now rather than waiting years down the line like Hidaka did? He talked about how he left a message right after the episode. And how is saying that your one director supporting Misty correlate to AshxMisty being canon to a director just pretty much saying that another pairing is?

>>149131311
Just fyi, no previous director ever referred or hinted to any girl as being in love with Ass. In fact, Shudo (in charge of the original series) actually derided any sense of romance between Ash and a girl. He also kinda hated Ash, though.

>>149131234
XY had your continuity. Hell, it started with Alexa bringing Ash and she appeared during BW. The questionable thing is what they'll do with SM continuity-wise.

>>149131411
Shudo was a writer, though. Hidaka and Suto never said anything meanwhile Yajima comes out to say it.

He's pretty much been the only word of god over Ash and a girl.

>>149131411
>Ass

>>149131411

I may be misremembering, but I pointedly recall S1 Misty getting kind of assblasted the one time Ash had a crush on that ace trainer girl,

>>149131714
He's talking about the director talking about anything relating to a girl and Ash.

The Giselle thing was there but that's also the time when the writers were pretty much fucking around until the figured where to take things. I think that was around the time the. S.S. Anne happened.

>>149131311
Did you completely missed the words 'what if'? The point isn't if another director has said if a ship is canon or not, it's the fact that there are several people that can claim word of god status. Claiming the words of one director is more canon than another is how shit gets confusing. I mean, under your line of logic, since Rupert Sanders is the director of Ghost in the Shell, does that mean his movie is the definite canon of the franchise? Bayformers is the one true Transformer? Peter Parker is a loser that's willing to fuck up the entire Marvel-verse and his marriage to save his aunt?

You're just completely missing the point of my post. It's not if he had said it, it's the fact that you're claiming one director's words as the final canon status of the entire franchise, especially if it overrides the wills of the actual gods AKA GF.

>Besides him putting it down now rather than waiting years down the line like Hidaka did?
I'm literally giving you the words of a guy who currently worked and aired an episode over your other "god" that waited until he was done for almost a year before he spoke.

>>149132063
And you're not even refuting my point anymore and resorting to ad-hominems.

>>149132126
You're literally saying "the word of god doesn't count because some other god might say something else in 20 years".

>>149132126
It's someone else you're talking about.
This is my post >>149132111.

Funny thing is, he's not wrong.

19 years and no word of god spoke of Ash/main girl, so I don't see where he's going with this.

>Serena unlocked Ash's puberty
>Ash will now look at chicks differently
>Lillie swoops in and wins

>>149132245
That doesn't even address my post, especially when GF even gave the green light for it to even be done.

>>149100063
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>149132210
That's the thing about multiple directors for a long-running franchise, none of it really matters when the actual owners of the franchise speaks out. It's canon, but only as far as what he had worked on. But beyond that, both before and after what he had worked on, what he had said, simply no longer applies if the other directors does not want it to.

>>149132286
He's just shitposting. He already tried claiming this show had had tons of writers come and go over the years to defend his "point".

Why can't they just keep Serena for Sun and Moon?
Why does this faggot company keep removing girls as they get better and better with each passing game/region?
This is why we can't have nice things.

>Lillie sends pictures of her and Ash fucking

Doujins when

>>149132286
Probably holding out hope that something will refute the simple present state of things.

>>149132351
Yeah, and if in SM they greenlit another romance, would Serena still be considered end-game? Of course, the director did clarify it was done 'in secret', so it's not suppose to be officially in.

>>149132309
>Serena unlocked the puberty
>XY had him essentially "Pokemon, Serena, Pikachu, Battle" in a constant loop
>Serena's gone so now he'll be busy with "Pokemon, Pikachu, battle" until Serena returns

It looks like Ash will be alone in Alola and if he needed companions they will mostly be temporary

Alola is pretty small and the Orange Islands are bigger

>>149130231
It's pretty sad how almost every new girl that was revealed kept overshadowing chicken-chan

I hope you guys know about the flowers thing right?

>>149132436
I don't think even Sakuracucks went "well maybe Naruto loves her after all and maybe Kishimoto will write a story saying Hinata was secretly evil or an illusion or something, so we should just ignore this marriage thing".

Come the fuck on.

>>149132416
>Red sends pictures to Ash of him and Serena fucking in Alola

... ... ...

>>149132546
Alola's going to be him going to school. Basically Yo-kai Watch. Lillie and the trial leaders are students for school.

>>149129842
Which studio and why does it look so horrendous? Did they hire unpaid artists to do this?

>>149132416
>To Serena
>From: Mrs. Ketchum

>>149132639
Still OLM, and it's a cherrypicked screenshot.

>>149132612
Well, if the current mangaka of Boruto actually goes and does that, what then? Would that still be considered to be canon over what Kishimoto had written?

>>149132636
That brown Fire type one looks so out of place. Aren't some of them a bit old for school? This must be some special type of school instead of normal school.

>>149132610
You're late I believe. >>149126783

Does this mean in XY timeline, Ash marries Serena?
