We got three subs last week, faget

How long have you been watching Pokemon? Do you plan to keep watching?

>dropped it before DP, resumed in XY
>most probably not

>>26254384
is there any art of plainclothes Nami?

also this is probably reaching out but is there any art of One Piece Nami in Sky Battle clothes

>>26254321
She needs to be the new traveling companion. Black hair version pls. Iris was shit so she doesn't count as Ash's black-haired companion. She also needs a fair share of action waifu moments, Serena has been shafted in that regard recently (which is certainly not the kind of "shafting" she wants).

Those shorts have potential. They're no V1 Serena or Dawn skirts, but they're still lewd.

>>26254321
I'd love to see how the AshxLuna shipping comes to life by the time the Sun and Moon anime airs for the first time.

>>26254321
>woms da Ash
What did she mean by this?

>>26254424
since the beginning when I was a small faggola

dropped it for a bit at the end of DP/most of BW but came back for XY

no regrets - hell yeah I'll still watch

>>26254389
Or they decide to just stick with Serena because there's a customize feature and a version that's similar to Serena.

>Corocoro gives background information about the protagonist
>it says they were originally from Kalos before arriving on Alola

>>26254424
Depends on how this series ends. If we get another Tobias (only three orders of magnitude worse since Ash just went toe-to-toe with the champion), I'll drop it and only chime in for the Iwane/Nishiyama episodes for the cool animation.

Ash wearing shorts for his main outfit would be so wrong. Nobody should want this.

Well, they still have time for the Flare arc, I didn't expect it to be that long anyway.

Please let Ash win the league this time. Let us have a satisfying conclusion to a region for ONCE for fuck sakes.

>>26254587
I do.

>>26254587
It's time to switch it up desu

>>26254625
Episodes 29 and 30 will give us better insight on how things will end. 29 because if we see Ash mastering Ash Greninja to the point there's no more risk of fainting, then I don't know exactly what kind of bullshit they'd need to pull off at the league to make him lose, and 30 because of potential spoilers in the updated OP such as the Elite Four appearing.

Honestly, it depends on how xyz ends.
If Ash loses to Bullshit again or if his relationship with Serena receives no closure (assuming she doesn't follow Ash of course), then I'll have to put this anime on the shelf.

Please, we've already been through this once before. Let's not do it again.

(yes, people did think this was going to happen)

>>26255101
But it just show the writers were never interested in developing a romance in this show, and probably never will. They just wanted some gimmick to get views.

>>26255125
Nobody actually thought that, you falseflagging retard.

>>26255125
Dawn's reason for leaving still is and always will be Bullshit

>>26255125
Oh boy i remember that

Time sure flies

>>26255150
I get but we'll see how things turn out, if Ash gets a new female companion it could be back to non-romantic involvement for Ash and probably Serena will not let just Ash go like nothing happened, assuming she's no longer part of the group. But then again we got to see if even Ash will be around for the next series.

On the very at least, at this point in the series after all they've been through I hope Ash and Serena got a proper conclusion, I think both deserve it.

>>26255223
It's just me or Buneary are ridiculously clingy in the anime?

>>26255210
Serena will likely be struggling on deciding what to do, and Ash will encourage her to pursue her dream, there may be a hug but that's about it. People who think they'll be in some long distance relationship or officially become an item are setting themselves up for disappointment.

>>26255295

>>26254321
Her officla name is Luna?

>>26255357
No.

>>26255329
Can you actually contribute to the discussion and stop shitposting?

>>26255357
Nah that is just a fan name

Like Pearl/Dawn, Soul/Lyra and/or White/Hilda

>>26255300
A long relationship isn't happening that we can agree with, but even if Ash encourages her to do that, she might still want to stick around with him, it could be a defining moment for Serena on what she values more or if she can seek for alternatives and manage to lift both.

My body is ready.

Are you still shitposting?

Probably until we get any confirmation about what the fuck what will be of the anime, because those who are on the opposite side of the deniers are just speculating anyway.

When did they started showing info about XY anime back on 2013?

Are there even anyone left in this thread that aren't just baiting or being too dumb to ignore bait?

>>26254424
Watched since generation 1 and dropped it during BW then started watching again during XY. If things become too predictable and has anime only stuff then I will probably drop it for good.

I know right? and you can tell it was rushed due to BW appearing. Had BW came later, the series as a whole could've been different. That tsunami/earthquake screwed the BW series. No wonder they firedthe director.

How long before Ash starts acting like a pirate since he's dressing as one?

Watched Kanto, Orange Islands and Johto when i was 6. Those are god tier to me, nostalgia 100%.

After those i stopped watching Pokemon all the time and just watched a few episodes of Hoenn. I didn't liked it but it still has some nostalgia to me.

The same happened with DP except that i got incredible hype for it because i discovered the games. Overall i consider SInnoh to be technically the best season of Pokemon better than Hoenn but maybe lower than Kanto and Jotho because Nostalgia.

I watched 20 episodes of Unova and dropped it.

Came back to XY because of Serena and the good animation but dropped it in episode 13 cause it was getting boring and generic.

Right now i'am hyped for the new season but meh for the games.

>>26255656
No I'm the new girl.

Last option is missing a "how they wrap up Amour" IMO. I don't think I will be much disappointed if they ditch Serena, I mean they ditched every girl before her so it's to be expected, but they've been going so far with the teasing that not addressing it properly before the series' end would be very disappointing to me. It doesn't need to be Serena confessing (she will never have the guts to do it anyway), but either Ash and Serena having some major bonding during the Ashninja/TF arc or even Serena growing out of her crush (although it might be a little too late to pull that off now without it feeling forced) would be fine to me.

>>26255686
But you have a dick

>>26255692
Yeah that could be another alternative, however I don't think we should discard the male MC.

That's about as far as they will probably go while still being a good ending.

Generation V protagonists never appeared. So what made the ratings so much better for XY ? AMOUR SHIPPING?

>>26255742
I'm still mad about the fact this outfit didn't showed up on an actual episode

I watched every single episode of pokemon up until early BW and then skipped around. Returned for XY.

I watched all of AG and DP when they originally aired in Japan and the dub.

If Serena is really leaving, I hope her goodbye is at least as twice as emotional as this scene.

I know, but there's been so much falseflagging and shitposting the past few hours it's been hard to bring anything up

>>26256019
it would be fake because nobody is this attached to Serena

Misty, Brock and Ash traveled half the world together and had more adventures you can count on

>>26256015
Well see if Grace gets in the middle this time around, although the situation was evidently different.

That and Dawn ended up showing up in Unova with Cynthia...

The Sun/Moon girls design looks way too generic or plain for me for the anime to use. They probably did it purposely to encourage the customization feature. If Serena leaves they'll probably go with a female Gym leader because this girl looks generic.

>>26256053
But you only watched 13 episodes of XY...

>>26256053
And yet nobody has been as attached to Ash as Serena.

>>26256019
Hahaha sorry but nope. Serena will be lucky if she gets a ending as good as in DP. Probably no

Too sexy, I guess. They didn't want to repeat the problem Dawn's skimpy outfit represented, both by animating it (and having to give her a physics defying magiskirt) and when dumb parents protested over them trying to sell sex on a children's show.

Hence this stupid new outfit in Pokémon's Learning League webpage.

>>26256141
dunno. They did put N in the anime.

>>26256258
Why are you always using spoiler tags?

I think Hilda wasn't used because when BW2 roles around and Rosa was introduced what would the anime do? Drop Hilda after 90 episodes and switch to Rosa for the next 50?

I loved Dawn, but her send-off wasn't as good as Misty's (and Brock's).

>>26256405
Dawn's goodbye was very good. In fact DP191 was my favorite series finale episode of them all.

>>26256372
Well, if that was a problem Rosa could've had a short appearance kind of like what Lyra did during DP, I know it isn't the same but still.

>>26256141
Some people assume it was because she is older compared to other playable females, althoguht they could just nerf her a bit (Kinda like they did with game serena and anime serena), but i guess they really wanted to try out the reboot idea

>>26256372
Obviously the best solution is have both Hilda and Rosa (not deaged) both travel with Ash!

>>26255730
Probably replying to bait, but according to how results are as of now (more votes would be more representative), a little more of you guys are still not sold on continuing watching the anime or not, while almost 1/3rd (so far) has already wrapped up their minds on not watching anymore.

Of course, this is still not very representative yet. And adjusting for the autism of people posting on 4chan and how much the rest of the fandom likes/dislikes the anime in other sites, I'd say that there will be more people having already decided to drop it for good than people still pondering about keep watching it.

>>26256372
Are you seriously implying they knew that when they started working on the BW anime even though most of the issues in later BW clearly came from B2W2 catching them by surprise?

>>26256468
Also considering that as is we have no idea what will exactly happen in the anime once Sun/Moon gets released.

>>26256462
agree. we don't need that shitty connoisseur

>>26256305
Why does that model look dead as shit?

>>26256484
Probably they knew about B2W2 before the rest of the people but they still messed up because.

>>26256468
The poll itself is pretty terrible and was posted during the middle of falseflagger season. I wouldn't take it to mean much.

>>26255656
Saved for them boobs.

>>26256591
Obviously, but not before BW even started.

DP's pacing made it pretty clear they didn't know they'd have to make the series last 4 years until quite a while into it.

People seriously think Hilda's short ripped shorts are why she wasn't in the anime? Really? After May's boobs and Dawn's tiny skirt that showed her entire upper legs and thighs?

Hilda's shorts aren't even that short. They wouldn't look out of place in the anime at all.

I don't want to see next gen girl wearing that shitty hat for several years. Before Gen 8 comes out and gives us another girl.

>>26256430
same here man

>>26256533
Made in Flash by a US web team.

But it was an official Nintendo/TPCi product.

>>26256653
Indeed. They originally had the Legend Badge outline in Ash's badge case until they switched it to a generic oval outline to fit the Toxic Badge in instead.

>>26256514
Worst case: Ash loses to another Tobias or another Cameron, Serena's crush goes unresolved, Greninja loses synchro because reasons, Ash gets a reset and the new companions are as cancerous as Iris and Tracey.

>>26256602
I'm one of those people. Hell I agreed that this would be the final series I follow around 2014. Close to 20 years, I think that is a good dropping off point. Where does this anime go after XY? Already played the romance aspect and the regional team is looking like the organization that will be hard to top. Final nail will be how far Ash goes in the Kalos league.

>>26256753
It will be cancerous if he wins the league but gets another reset ala BW

>>26256765
Next season will probably be another BW type reset. Maybe not as extreme as BW was with Ash being a complete moron, but I definitely don't see him being as competent as he is in XY.

>>26256602
How would you correct it? Just curious, I plan to do a similar polling on other sites like serebii.

>>26256765
If they don't let Ash win a league when he was going toe to toe with a Champion he probably will never win a league. The same with romance, after Serena no one will be convinced of any ship tease with Ash at all.

>>26256765
Yeah, also considering Ash already put Diantha against the ropes, if he indeedly wins the league or even if he loses there's not much more to climb for him.

>>26256860
Make it clearer exactly what you're asking and what people are implying with each option.

>>26256879
>>26256919
That's why I would consider replacing Ash for next gen if I were them.

>>26256834
>next season they'll probably do that thing that XY was basically an apology for again
Are you baiting or just dumb? That shit was so poorly received they fucking fired the director over it.

>>26256834
One thing I can forsee is the Serena mini arc for the SM series will bring some people back for that alone.

>>26256966
Obviously. It was a temporal project.

>>26256951
Which is something that we should take into consideration, it's true that they could've done that already but XY Ash is quite different from BW or AG.

>>26256808
Who cares? If he wins, I'm out.

>>26256834
That's the one thing we KNOW they won't do.

Xerneas event now live. I wonder what the shinies for SM legends will be like.

I want Ash to be a recurring character next season similar to Alan who only shows up once in a while as a mentor to the new main characters. I want Ash to be a champion, maybe give him some specials like the Mega Evolution eps showing him battling Elite 4.

Would be complicated, the closest thing to that recently was when Shota fought Valerie first.

>>26257699
No. Needing to see every single gym leader fought at least twice, more than that if one of them loses, is not a recipe for good writing.

Serena didn't get to do a lot of crazy shit. They've still yet to beat Dawn in that regard. Hopefully Luna will beat her in the action waifu department.

>Amourfags will kill themselves in 6 months

>>26254424
Watched OS, quit a few episodes after AG started because CN wouldn't stop repeating the same episodes while new ones would never come out. I decided to rewatch all of it from the start probably next to first episode of BW, finally got to latest episode back then though I don't recall which one, and then stopped watching as soon as BW ended. Got back to the anime around XY7 when I decided to lurk around anime hype threads here and been watching ever since, though at times I would take some small breaks.

>Do you plan to keep watching?

That depends. As I see it, XY isn't simlpy building Ash to become the strongest yet; they are giving a rather unique feeling to XY Ash. I'm nost just talking about some 10/10 qt girl lusting after his gains, but the fact they're playing the "you've part of a prophecy" card, featuring new formes and plot around a legendary Pokémon AND giving to one of his mons a new forme, which was not revealed nor known by no other media. At all. Even to this day, the games never mentioned them, the manga never mentioned them, those things are something completely anime exclusive as of now. I would stop watching if all that was for nothing.

Kind of like how you have Ash altered from Gen I and Serena altered from Gen VI. That and it actually kind of works in Serena's favor.

>>26258611
Whining like a bitch isn't gonna make the thread better

The new region doesn't have one gym on the map they've shown that means the region must be huge and probably has all the 7 Hawaii islands you can visit where the gyms are located.

If Ash doesn't turn it into a hoodie it's all over.

Wouldn't it be cool if Pokéathlons from HGSS came back in some form in SM and the female companion focuses on that? Fit waifus and husbandos galore.

>>26259840
One of the reasons it's difficult to replace Ash is because of five seiyuus: Rica, Ohtani, and the three voices of the TRio.

Maybe, but we've never had something like the Ash/Serena thing. Variety TV shows were promoting it, magazines were promoting it, it was pushed extremely hard in the anime itself. I very much doubt anything will generate that much excitement again.

I'm sure there will be a CoTD that crushes on Ash next season, but the girl might have a Drew or not like anyone at all.

I'm taking it you started breaking down when new girl ended up having some semblance to Serena thanks to customization and your rules made you lose.

The XY anime was the perfect place to wrap Ash up. They can still theoretically do it since they have time till November.

TheCharacterWhoMightNowUpInTheAnimeShipping. TCWMNUTAS for short.

If that's the case then perhaps we shouldn't assume so easily that Serena isn't staying or that Ash will go to Alola.

>>26260977
I'm convinced that if they don't replace Ash in this series, they'll never do it.

Until Rica retires or dies, that is, whatever happens first.

Just think Ash might be around for 30 years. We'll be in Gen 9 or 10 by then. Jesus.

So if Rica dies and they retire Ash, then Serena has a chance of winning him as his endgame?

Those shippers just need better imagination, they shouldn't be cucks that need to see an other man end up with their waifu. Just ship yourself with her.

>I don't like character development coupled with awesome animation.

For what purpose ?

You know I wouldn't be surprised if that new professor is related to Wulfric in some way. They tend to do that now.

they'll just replace her when she dies / gets too old, like they do in every other long-running anime. we're stuck with ash forever

He's just a tasteless faggot. Literally the only people who don't want more qts like this are either plebs or homos.

>>26261124
Is that you Sean?
