Do you think this Giant Water Shuriken could have a chance at overpowering Mega Gardevoirs Moonblast?

>>26195620
is it on sadpanda?

>>26195705
Why not? It's not like water is weak to fairy and Moonblast only has 15 more base power than Shadow Ball.

>>26195705
Ash-Greninja cut Shadow Ball in half WITH ITS FEET, I think it would be fair to assume, that yes, it can overpower.

>>26195705
It can, Ash Greninja is probably lower level but synchro evolution might be stronger than regular mega evolution. With the synchro in balance it should be able to overpower mega Gardevoir.

>>26195729
Shadow Ball is significantly weaker than her Moonblast logically though, seeing as we never saw it oneshotting E4 Megas like in the Diancie Movie.

It's like Alans Blast Burn, significantly stronger than the other moves.

So now that it has been confirmed that Wulfric does have Mega Abomasnow are we gonna see Wulfric's M-Abomasnow vs. Lysandre's M-Gyarados as in the flash forward scene from the ME special?

>>26195873
Motto motto hayaku was pretty much an order from Ash.

>>26195896
The ME scene is the flash forward, and the exact same scene is reused (with a few changes) in the episode where they actually face off.

So how well could an EoXY&Z Ash do against Tobias?

>>26196044
Well they both got their own special way at the beginning of XY so maybe they're just going to leave it at that. Or maybe after the Team Flare arc will see them pop up. Dawn didn't show up till near the end in BW.

If Ash brings in his reserves from Oaks lab he'll be unstoppable.

I actually really hope Alan is the final hurdle for Ash during the League and we see Ash do what he did against Gary in Johto. Ash bringing in his strongest Pokemon just to fight Alan would be the perfect end to a League.

It'd be like see what Ash would look like if he was a Champion or challenging the Champion in a 6V6.

>>26196064
I hope your right. More episodes have gone by in XY when Dawn showed up in BW. Iris and Cilan only getting those specials would be the greatest thing for the series.

>>26196093
>Greninja learns Scald

This is going to be the most based 8th Gym Battle ever.

None of the 8th gym battles so far have really been spectacular. Ash vs. Volkner or Ash vs. Juan have to be the best ones and even those are mediocre compared to XY gym battles. Ash vs. Roxie and Ash vs. Jessie/James were just pure shit.

This is will be great.

>>26196104
BW was insanely rushed though. You can't really compare the pacing of BW to any of the other series.

>>26196061

>>26196145
But Sylveon's there.
That's same beautiful being, just.. a little matured.

>>26196073
I think Shota vs. Ash will be Top 4, showcasing how far Shota has come and how much he has grown as a trainer by making it that far but I think Ash will still be victorious over him, especially if he ends up losing in their next battle. It will be a 6 vs. 6 and Hawlucha and Noivern especially will get their redemption.

Ash will make it to the finals which is the farthest he's ever gone and then will get knocked out by a Tobias/Alan tier trainer.

As for Ash vs. Tierno. Still hope it'll be a 6 vs. 6 but I can't see Tierno going far in the league. Ash vs. Trevor can happen during prelims as a 1 vs.1.

>>26195856
Just watched it for probably the 7th or 8th time. Fuck me I'm a slave to the pokemon corporation but I love it. Literally the only show getting me hyped these days.

BW wasn't rushed. The earthquake fucked everything up. That's why we got the clusterfuck of competent Team Rocket and the messed up Episode N arc.

>>26196154
We'll probably have another TriPokalon or episode dedicated Serena doing something. A spaghetti episode. A Bonnie episode. And the long awaited Ash crossdressing episode. There's no way we get through XY without Ash dressing like a girl.

>>26196157
>Alan tier
Sorry anon, but with the way things are going, I don't think Alan is even going to be on Shotas level by the time the league comes.

>>26195742
This is something I've been wondering about lately. Is Ash-Greninja (at least in its last two battles) OP because synchro is inherently stronger than mega, or is it because Greninja in its base form is already stronger than others?

>>26196174
BW had a lot of problems before the earthquake. Incompetent Ash, Trip being a bad rival and character, Ash capturing too many pokemon, and Iris in general all happened and were planned out before the earthquake.

>>26196128
I'd say it's better than Ash vs. Grant and Ash vs. Valerie maybe Ash vs. Korrina but that's it.

C'mon son. Although you'll have more of a point if he ends up jobbing against Clawitzer. I assume he'll also be the last one standing against Abomasnow in the first Wulfric fight, but going down to that isn't that bad and he might already get redeemed in the rematch.

>>26196182
Alan's M-Charizard beat idk how many Megas, Malva's Houndoom and battled Siebold's M-Blastoise, Steven's M-Metagross, Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre, M-Rayquaza and 50% Zygarde. I don't think Shota's M-Sceptile will ever get to that level.

>>26196186
I don't see how it normal Greninja could be stronger, it should not even be very high level. Synchro must be stronger, this would also be the main evolution hype thing for gen 7 like mega was for gen 6.

>>26196208
Did you figure that out all by yourself?

Seriously, this was made perfectly clear two Pokéfans ago when Ash's team was showcased with only his five current Pokémon in it.

>>26196217
I meant redemption vs. Shota because it seems it'll be losing against Clawitzer like you said. Hawlucha in itself doesn't need redemption but against Shota he might. If Hawlucha does beat Clawitzer then it's all good.

>>26196221
Ash-Greninja was giving Mega Charizard X a run for his money and even beating him.

Shota is likely going to beat Ash next episode or at the least fight off against Ash-Greninja very well, at least better than Alan did.

That or he just beats on his opponent again and gets a heart attack again and faints.

Y-yeah guys! Ash totally likes Serena back! P-p-p-p-progress!

Why does everyone feel like Alain will beat our main man Ash. Ash will fuck him up, Episode 23 showed how strong our frog is. This is if he enters the league, he doesn't even seem like the type to go for badges, and so far we don't even know if he has any badges.

Could Ash-Greninja completely sweep Roxie?

In one sense, I'm upset Megazard Y is never going to be featured in anything since Ash isn't using it.

On the other hand, Ash-Greninja ended up being pretty fucking baller.

Consider the following:

50% Ashninja destroyed Shota's Sceptile in less than 10 seconds, but lost against Alan's MZard on their first fight.

On the rematch, and with a higher synchronization (75%?), the froge was starting to gain the upper hand against Charizard until Ash collapsed from the strain.

6V6 Victory Tournament Guess:
Top 16: Ash VS CoTD
Top 8: Ash VS Tierno
Top 4: Ash VS Shota
Finals: Ash VS Alan

We're being shown full teams for Tierno and Shota which set them up for prime full battles at the League. Showing Alan owning more then just Charizard is set up for future participation at the League. His Charizard alone is on equal fighting grounds with Tobias's Darkrai so him speeding through collecting gym badges isn't a foolish idea.

>>26196248
Alan description is "Ashs strongest rival yet!" And after Ash VS Alan2, the idea of Alan entering the League is no longer just a dream. That scene happened for a reason, putting the idea of Alan into the League was blatant foreshadowing of what is to come.

TF will likely end with a promise between Ash and Alan to fight fair and square with all their strength as friends and rivals rather then enemies.

The Subbers have to translate from start to finish, most anime's have subs available and literally require no effort. The process for Pokemon takes quite long, but I think they take a tiny bit longer than they should.

Watch more anime anon, Pokemon is pretty easy to understand and the only nip I've learned is through watching anime and looking up random terms.

The only difficult episodes are the dialogue heavy episodes.

>>26196346
Shota shows that there are other Gyms in Kalos, Alan could easily aquire a bunch of no name badges.

>>26196350
Since the first Ash VS Alan battle he's:
>No contest twice against Alan and Diantha
>Lost once to Alan
>Lose once to Wulfric
>Likely lose once to Shota

4 big losses.

>>26196373
>exhausted from back to back gyms
>Fought 10 megas and an E4 member within a few hours
Nah, but I like the idea of Clemont VS Alan for his final badge.

>>26196324
I think he'll use his Kalos team vs. Shota but vs. Tierno he'll probably use reserves otherwise Tierno will get recked way too much.
Blastoise, Raichu, Ludicolo, Hitmontop, Politoed, 6th mon vs. Pikachu, Krookodile, Bayleef, Glalie, Gible and Muk.

Unless they decide to give Tierno M-Blastoise then I could see it being different.

>>26196352
>it never will
Exactly. So stop getting your hopes up.

>>26196396
Yeah,they're milking it to hell right now and the itachi filler hasn't even started. Then there's still fucking boruto which should be well into 10 chapters by the time we get back to the actual plot in the anime.

Which reminds me, it'd be so cool to see the reaction of everyone to Ash's old Pokemon. If only after the league they all go to Pallet town

>>26196465
Glalie.

>>26196465
None of them, I want to see Ash's Kalos team try to challenge the league even when I dislike half of his team. It's disrespectful to send his Pokemon off just before the big battle they worked hard for.

>That Dawn lewd on that /h/ foot thread

>>26196421
Bonnie would go crazy at Oak's ranch and probably pass out from excitement.

>>26196498
They should handle it like in DP. Save the Kalos team for the main rival battle which would be vs. Shota and arguably the hardest battle. Then use some of them for other battles combined with reserves. Like how Staraptor was used vs. Nando, Gible vs. Conway and Tobias etc.

>>26196502
>Keeping her socks on.

>Diantha thought to herself that Ash has to be protected to ensure he protects the Kalos region

>>26196465
Muk, Kingler, Glalie, Torterra, Leavanny, Palpitoad to name a few.

How high are the chances of Iris still getting a cameo?

>>26196687
At this point I'd say its not happening. We have titles leading nearly to July and we have the Team Flare finale and league coming up. They're not going to have her appear at the end of XY.

Looker when?

>>26196705
She comes back in the league with Haxorus, Garchomp and Mega Fug and beats Ash.

>>26196736
There is no need

XYZ is way too perfect the way it is right now

>>26196465
Infernape, Buizel, Totodile, Gible, Gliscor, Krookodile, Bulbasaur.

If VS Alan for the finals I want:

Greninja
Charizard
Infernape
Sceptile
Snorlax
Heracross or Glalie

They gave her a special episode after she left so I suppose they're counting that as her and Cilan's cameo.

>>26196148
It's winter elsewhere, including Japan. Not November.

>>26196724
You're a disgrace to baneposters

>>26196798
Because she wasn't popular at all and would not mesh with the XY gang at all.

XY Ash wouldn't stand for any of Iris bullshit and if she called him a kid he'd tell her to fuck off and grow up.

In odd its hard to believe people made such a big deal out of Misty's cameos in Hoenn when all she got was 2 episodes. I liked those eps simply because Togepi evolved and for that villain Hanson using Shedinja and Ninjask, but that's all she got. After that just a Pallet visit where she became Tracey 2.0.

Would the common opinion change on BW if Ash was replaced with a diffrent boy?

>>26196788
Save for Ash-Greninja and maybe Charizard they're gonna get rekt though. And Pikachu always has to battle in a 6 vs. 6 since it can't be rotated.

>>26196247

They can easily change Iris's character though saying she's developed and matured training under Claire and traveling through Johto. Plus we can have Serena's Sylveon vs. Iris's Axew with Iris getting rekt as that usually happens to the returning girl

>>26196865
Ash VS Gary in Johto, Pikachu sat on the sidelines with Misty and Brock and that was a 6 V 6 battle.

Ash called in all of his strongest Pokemon because he wanted to defeat Gary at any cost.

Iris ditched Claire to chase after Rayquaza.

Not to mention changing Iris's character by then is pretty crappy. To sum it up, Iris a shit.

To be honest I wonder if it would have been better for Dawn not to get a BW cameo either considering how little they did with her. While it was nice to see her one last time I would have prefered her to get more specials on her own.

>>26196808
Her special was actually juggled around all over the place until they finally got a chance to show it.

>>26196883
>vs Axew
>wanting that shitter anywhere near the gangs Pokemon
Fuck that and fuck Iris. XY has been blessed so far with how everything is handled, I don't want anything to ruin it. And seeing her appear in the series would do just that.

Fuck Iris.

>>26196923
BW as a whole was awful. It sucks that Dawns final appearance was her hanging out with Iris.

If Dawn appeared in XY that would have been a much better scenario. Her and Serena girling out over clothing, Dawn playing wingman to Serena, Serena learning about contests.

Fuck Iris, if they do bring back an old companion give Dawn a second chance.

>>26196950
The weird thing about Dawn in BW is it seemed like the writers didn't really know what her personality was in DP. Its like they just got the cliffnotes version that Dawn was girly and a coordinator but nothing else. I did like the way she teased Ash by patting him on the back when she first saw him again, and the Onix filler swinging on vines was good, but after that it all got kinda dull from there.

>>26196247
Sure, I mean Clemont is Bunnelby's trainer and Serena wanted to go with Eevee. Or are you just trying to bait by saying no progress?

My guess is that we learn when and where the Kalos League is going to take place during XYZ29 and it'll be maybe a month or two away.

I hope we get less fillers now, so Flare Arc can end in July and then we get a few months of league and elite 4 possibly? I hope they don't make the ending like 2 episodes. I want a long ending.

>>26197257
I figured the TF arc would be set over the course of a week in anime time, and the trip from Snowbelle to the swamp would take a week or so to arrive but that's all offscreen. That plus a hand full of episodes dedicated to travelling to the League would wind up with possibly around a month or two having past in the anime world.

>>26197282
I hope we get a long ending, because if they are dropping Serena they need to conclude her crush in a satisfying way

>>26197273
Other way actually. She tries hooking up her son with the girl.

So does Wulfric have 3 mons and Ash uses Talonflame, Hawlucha and Greninja and then loses or does he have 2 mons with Ash only using Hawlucha and Talonflame and then loses and then decides to switch one of those out for Greninja for the rematch?

I could see Cryogonal as Wulfric's third mon.

>>26197321
Ash isn't wearing the bracelet during the upcoming episodes preview wish I assume is showing his first battle against Wulfric.

My guess is Talonflame, Hawlucha and Noivern the first time around.

>>26197308

Serena leaving is quite likely after the offer.

>>26197270
I'm still skeptical about that, I worry the writers aren't that based.
>>26197296
This actually makes more sense. I completely forgot about the TF arc. But the TF arc probably occurs in Lumiose so...
>>26197321
Probably 3 Pokemon, Ash might use his 3 birbs though and then realize he can't win without Greninja.

>>26197321
First battle seems to be Talonflame and Hawlucha vs Avalugg and Abomasnow.

Second battle I guess it might be Talonflame, Hawlucha and Greninja vs Avalugg, Cryogonal and (Mega) Abomasnow.

Noivern's name in German is: "UHaFnir"

What is German

>>26197321
Or his rematch is a 1vs.1 Ash-Greninja vs. M-Abomasnow

>>26197349
She has the means of leaving but it's not a sure fire thing seeing how she went there saying she'd still travel not expecting the offer. More so that Serena is the one that has to make the phone call.

>>26197359
Wulfric got a fucking mega. They're going balls out.

>>26197361
Why would they change the rules from a 2 vs. 2 to a 3 vs. 3 for the rematch though?

>>26197311
Okay, i'll keep that in mind.
but why?

>Ash summons up everything he has gained so far on his journey: The knowledge, the experience and the memories made with the Pokémon.

Would be cool if it were a 5 vs. 5. Give Wulfric Cryogonal and Vanilluxe and let's go.

Anon, Snowbelle City is literally one route away from Lumiose City in game.

The Wetlands are literally right outside of Lumiose. It's not hard to imagine the wetlands are spread around Lumiose City.

In the XY game, Wulfric has:

Abomasnow, Cryogona and Avalugg. I'm guessing first time Ash will lose with Hawlucha, Talonflame and Noivern/Greninja

I mean his 7th badge is the Fairy Badge which means after he lost to Ash in the AshvAlain episode he went back to Laverre.

Shota doesn't get sidetracked by Tripokalons, TR bullshit, TF and puni chan stuff and CotD issues though. He's a lot more time efficient.

Can we stop talking about Ash's team and Greninjash and instead talk about the fact that Serena has a crush on Ash?

File: Kalos_anime_journey v1.jpg (2MB, 2038x1335px) Image search: [Google]

2MB, 2038x1335px

I made a map of Ash's journey through Kalos. A few points of note:
- I didn't include Serena's separate journey in the first four episodes of XY.
- XY18 takes place at both Camphrier and the Parfum Palace, but I only put the tag on the former.
- XY32-36 (Korrina's journey post-Geosenge and Hawlucha's capture) were put in the general northwestern part of Kalos because there are no game-equivalent locations between Geosenge and the Reflection Cave.
- Same goes for XY38-42 (Trevenant episode and summer camp), which I put on the coastline near Shalour.
- XY61-65 are generically placed in the Lumiose City badlands although only 61 and 62 truly take place there. There was just no equivalent to the non-desert areas from the next three episodes.
- It looks like the group backtracks for XY79 because the Pokéball Factory is technically inside Laverre in the games.
- Same for Dendemille and the Lost Hotel in XY81.
- XY82 is someplace not snowy between Dendemille and the snow mountain.
- XY&Z9 looks like significant backtracking, but that's the official map's fault as Terminus Cave is actually just north of the entrance to Couriway in the games themselves (so if the map was more accurate, XY&Z1-7 would be above 9 instead of the opposite).
- I placed the Master Class episodes roughly where Serena's map shows them even though there's obviously no game-equivalent town there.
- XY&Z30's placement seems really freaking confusing, but that's how it looks like going from what we know.

The battle with Shota only seems to be about half the episode, and the rest focused on TF.

If ash's pokemon has power-up against who's all mega poekmon.

Pikachu=Thunder golden armor.
Charizard=If ash will get new mega stone Y or not.
Sceptile=Full power (Sceptile vs May's Blaziken)
Greninja=Connect ash-greninja.
Infernape=Angry power up flame!!
Snorlax=Angry, where are food!!!

>>26198220
Mega Rayquaza already did, of course in the anime Arceus will probably be shown to be stronger.

>>26198235
That background though

>>26198251
the topic is here right now

And the episode in-between is animated by someone Iwane always works with, so it's really three Iwane episodes.

Nice Falseflagging.

>>26198256
why'd they have to make Shota look like a kid compared to Ash? I can't take him seriously

So since after Wulfric they're going back to Lumiose are we getting some long-awaited Blaziken Mask vs. Team Flare stuff?

Bianca looked older and he was a rookie. This is what happens when you can't have the main character

>>26198300
It's about bloody time. We need to have that damn climax already. It was foreshadowed/teased in the XY&Z OP like seven months ago, when the series debuted.

>>26198300
Probably, probably not. Probably have Lysandre break the Blaziken.

Why did the writers have to wait until 120+ XY episodes have passed before making Shota look like a real threat?

This is why he's such a low quality rival character. He has been a complete waste of time until now.

>>26198380
Unless the Malamar flying off via that obelisk and "maybe" returning "someday" was meant to give the writers a plausible way to drop the subplot entirely and never return to it.

>>26198403
I like him

Rwewatching the Diantha battle multiple times by now, with the limited Japanese I know, Diantha says a couple times that if Ash-Greninja landed a blow that Gardevoir otherwise protected, they would have lost. Notably the Aerial Ace Gardevoir blocked with Shadow Ball.

What does that say about Ash and Greninja's skill level?

>>26198403
Getting gud takes time and effort. I wish Shelgon and Honedge didn't get BTFO so easily in the last battle, but aside from that I don't have any issues with him.

>>26198414
That it's over 9,000?

But really, I hope that Ash and Diantha get a full-fledged, finished battle, even if Ash loses. Having the battle end prematurely because Ash collapsed isn't all that satisfying as a viewer.

>>26198403
these complaints never make sense

>Shota is so easy to fight!
>Shota is suddenly hard to fight!
>forgetting that a person needs to train to git gud

>>26198380
It was a OS tier filler episode, hopefully the upcoming fillers wont be wasted on that. There are like 25 episodes left.

>>26198369
I wouldn't mind that, but Ash would never go try the gym before finding Greninja.

>>26198369
If it isn't a reaction on both sides from Shota actually winning, it could be:
>Greninja leaves to prevent synchro
>Greninja disobeys Ash's orders to prevent synchro; back like when it was a Froakie
>Greninja shows its salt, either toward Sceptile, Ash, or both

If Ash brings back his old mon's for the league what would be his best team?

>>26198429
There's nothing that prevented the writers from making him gud from the first time he met Ash by introducing him as an experienced trainer instead of a beginner. Just an awful decision from the writers.

We're these new titles from newtype?

XYZ 27-29 sounds great. I wonder how much Ash will actually mature though.

How much worried waifu we going to get vp?

>>26198460
I don't think it'd be salt from losing unless it were for some bullshit reason like Attract hax or the one-touch thing.

>>26198507
>We're these new titles from newtype?
I think so?

>>26198460
Could be that TF interferes or attacks.

>>26198414
That if they ever get to 200% Synchro, Mega Fug can kiss its ass goodbye.

>>26198465
It was a typical master/apprentice relationship. It worked well. Ash taught and showed Shota valuable skills, and in doing so Shota saw Ash as his goal who he wanted to surpass.

I like the dynamic. Shota's gotten progressively better since being introduced and has been a good rival to Ash, even if he hasn't won a battle yet.

>>26198526
i was thinking the same. I mean both matches for alain and diantha were interrupted I wouldn't be surprised if this were the same.

>>26198526
Shit, that too.
There's a lot of emphasis on them in the preview even though the episode is mainly about the battle.

Eh, I can see it happening. Then he doubts himself too much during the Wulfric fight. Reacts to things too slowly and gets wrecked. Wulfric tells him to come back when he gits gud.

>>26198507
>How much worried waifu we going to get vp?
Hella
It might be last or second-to-last wake up call for her.

I honestly hope th writers don't introduce a League Rival for Ash in the Kalos League. Ash VS Alain should be the final League match. It'd leave a bad taste in my mouth if Ash defeats Alain, the strongest trainer he's ever fought, then get his ass kicked by some no name. I don't want a Sinnoh League repeat.

It's literally two MCs of their own "shows" facing off. There couldn't be any better of a climax than this.
