>We're bringing you valuable information on "Pokémon the movie XY&Z: Volcanion and the Ingenious Magearna", which July 16th premiere is right around the corner! Your host Abareru-kun (overly?) passionately presents the highlights of this year's Pokémon movie!

UPCOMING SHIT:
POKÉMON NO UCHI ATSUMARU? EPISODE 40 (July 10th)
XY&Z034: Semifinal Full Battle! Ash VS Shota!! (Jul 21st)
>The Kalos Leage finally reaches its climax. Starting with the semifinals, all matches will be 6 on 6 full battles. The person currently standing in Ash's way is Shota. Although Ash lost against him the last time they fought, he has grown stronger since then, and isn't really stressed out. Shota, on the other hand, also felt great joy at getting to fight Ash, the person he admires, at this ultimate battle stage.
XY&Z035: Fierce Rival Battle! Ash Greninja VS Mega Sceptile (Jul 28th)
>The semifinal match between Ash and Shota continues seesawing back and forth. It's precisely because the two have fought each other so many times before that it has turned into a battle on such an advanced level between two who know each other like the back of their own hand. Through this battle, the two remember their days of friendly rivalry. Their last battle against each other has finally arrived, and they both give each other their absolute all!
XY&Z036: Fierce Fighting at the Kalos League! Gather, All of My Passion!! (Aug 4th)
>Lumiose City is in a state of excitement thanks to the Kalos League! And during this excitement, Clemont's Chespin gets lost. And as Chespin is walking around all alone and confused, a certain somebody appears before it...

look at this smug son of a bitch that thought he would blow that mega away
Who is gathering their passion? What does that even mean?
Shauna is CUTE!
Holy shit, is no one quality checking these episodes?
>regular absol at the start
>mega when hawlucha attacks
LITERALLY FUCKING WHY
Literally me.
>>27033726
>>27033728
Believe me, if I'd been intending to actually make a thread with a non Pokémon OP I wouldn't have asked.
Ash vs Shota better be fucking GOAT
Why is the league so full of shitty writing and animation?
Are there more episode titles revealed?
ah they're at full force already eh
>>27033949
Because two bombs and a meltdown apparently weren't enough.
>>27033959
>I still need to acknowledge it everytime
You're just as bad as they are
>>27033835
Is this the first Ash episode omode writes?
The battle she wrote for blaziken and Lucario was pretty good
>>27033949
Because it needs to be rushed, the SM anime starts in November.
>>27033856
s'alright
>>27033998
Then cancel the Quidillin shit and move some other shit around. Literally no excuse for rushing arguably the most important section of the series.
>>27034005
League is not important. OP skips it for TF.
TF>league
Why does it have to be specifically Chespin that gets lost?
>>27034013
>League is not important.
So much shit taste here.
>>27034030
Because even Dedenne is too good to be that much of a mememon
>>27034030
Because he is Jokemon number one in Kalos.
>>27034005
These shitty writers can't be trusted to do that after shit like Serena's haircut.
>>27034030
Because Chespin a shit.
I hope it turns out to be Xerosic and the Flares transporting some dangerous shit and Chespin ends up infected with that green energy thing.
Has there even been a good 'shitmon gets lost episode'.
I guess that one prior to the Sinnoh League where Brotodile and co. ended up getting lost was ok.

>>27034069
Shitmons getting lost isn't inherently bad, but when you spend League time on it you're doing it wrong. If the person or thing Chespin meets adds build-up to Team Flare or some other relevant shit, then that's OK, but if it's pure filler then putting in a league is literally the worst thing they could do.
>>27034080
for the last time
FUCKING TOMIOKA IS WRITING IT
Data broadcast when?
So Alan vs Ash is one episode because chespin shit.
God i fucking hate japan. he's gonna lose isn't he?
Why did Ash never talk to the group when they were sitting down? Because of male dragon?
>Chespin wanders off into the chamber where Z2 is being held
>he frees him but gets infinity energy poisoning
>Lysandre arrives and sees him ded on the floor
>notto_disu_shitto_agen.jpg
>>27034200
But if Z2 is released how will they use corrupted Zygarde?
>>27034218
They recapture it, my scenario was just an excuse to kill off Clemont's Cheshit.
>>27034198
Ash was the one that gathered exp this time.
>>27034191
We literally don't know.
I would kek if the next summary describes the final and adds at the end: "Meanwhile, Harimaron gets lost during the battle and while wandering, he finds a certain person..."
>>27034176
1 hour
>>27034288
R-really?
I think someone predicted this, or it was a very popular prediction, I can't remember which. League interruption away!
>barely any league battles
>they still waste one episode on fucking chespin
Chespin will evolve r-r-right??
>>27034587
>jokemon
>evolving
also reminder that DP started the jokemon shit. don't try to deny it or even kid it, I will slap your face.
>>27034587
Nah, he's the Oshawott of XY, a comic relief Pokemon still trying to copy Piplup's thing.
>>27034605
Chespin is a fucking prodigy. He's both Oshawott and Axew.
How much longer till we get episode data after this Chespin shit?
>>27034625
2 weeks minimum
>yfw AZ
>Through this battle, the two remember their days of friendly rivalry
So it's not friendly anymore?
>>27034649
Man, I'm glad he's frozen in there and we're out here
>>27034587
No, it's the Piplup of this generation but worse.
Where does Adamant post his subs?
>>27034601

>>27034761

So shota lost?

Welcome to the endgame of the saga, where everything is spoiled and character progression doesn't matter.

amour is bait
>>27034786
>Ash losing isn't going against character progression
come on now, fuck off with le exp kid
>Chespin ruining Ash chances of winning the league
Why does it even exist?
Any decent shots of Sceptile with its scarf on?
>>27034891
Feels good to be a sceptilefagfor now
That scarf is pretty cool and so is Ash's and his twig.
>>27034921
Twig?
>>27034828
Fucking Chespins ruining it all always
>>27034969
He meant Ash's Sceptile.
>>27034969
why does the scarf just vanish tho
>>27034991
all mega equipment vanish when mons mega evolve
>Mega Sceptile vs Raichu
>1 hit KO
This is not acceptable.
>it's a Chespin episode
>>27034994
Raichu took energy ball previously.
is there an episode on august 11 or do we have hiatus?
>>27034994
We still love you, Rairai
>>27034994
Slurpuff got a hit in before sceptile. Raichu is a meme either way
>>27034992
really makes u think hmmmmm
>tv anime series plushes
IT BEGINS
>>27035014
What? Another stop?
>>27035022
I'd kek if Ash wears a green and brown outfit for Alola.
>>27035014
When did togashi start calling in the shots in the pokemon anime?
>>27035032
Hmmm...what did the other anime reveals have? To the archives!
>>27035032
Good. I'm sick of Greninja. Bring on the new stuff.
>>27035035
Of course, it's Obon week in Japan.
>>27035032
I wonder if they are going to pick Ash's starter by sales
>>27033745
>nearly 2 weeks of break
>still 3 weeks behind
Based Sushi!
>>27035081
production on the SM anime has begun long ago
Nobody wants to sit near this guy
>>27035032
Nice.
>>27035032
SOON
>>27035088
I'd sit with him.
>>27035088
shauna took ash's seat so he had to sit next to trever
>>27035081
Litten. When there's a cat involved it's always the safe bet. Plus female companion gets the Poplio and Rowlet is the jokemon of Alola.
THE STATUS QUO NEVER DIES
>>27035087
Crap. Usually episodes are produced 2-3 months before they air tops, even if Pokemon is a never ending anime and thus has an advantage over seasonal anime (that literally end production of an episode a couple of days before it airs), there's no way they're already producing for november.
>>27035088
I mean even the seat in the back row is empty
>>27035032
>Rowlet goes to Ash
>Popplio goes to the female companion
>Litten goes to the main rival
pls
Interesting...I do not think the previews of BW's anime featured the starters, but XY's did. Nonetheless, it's no surprise that the starters would be the first thing they feature. I don't know if word of merchandise had appeared this soon or not, though.
>>27035122
>Rowlet is the jokemon of Alola
>implying
Popplio is clearly the shitter in this trio.
I was completely right about Greninja, Braixen and Chespin. I know my shit.
What kind of dialect was Wulfric supposed to have?
>>27035204
That is not surprising, it would only be logical. Chespin, who is designed like Piplup and Osha, takes over their role. Of course the feminine pokemon goes to the feminine character. That only left us with Froakie.
>>27035204
>I was completely right about Greninja, Braixen and Chespin. I know my shit.
They were painfully obvious, and so are the Alola ones.
Rowlet = the gary stu
Litten = the girl has this one
Popplio = jokemon or rivalmon
I felt bad for tierno, shota cheated with mega evolution crap
Well...I would say that's a waste, but I think it's a waste when ANY of the starters gets shafted. We need all three starters to fully evolve on the main characters.
>>27035221
Old man
>>27035252
I feel bad for Shota, had to face a shitty trainer and get low exp just before the finals
>>27035099
>>27035095
Why is it the general conception that Ash's Alola design will have him wearing a hoodie ?
Could be worse. Chespin could've evolved into Quilladin and then stayed like that until the saga ended.
>>27035303
It's faggots. It's always faggots.
>>27035272
We got so close in AG. Fucking Brock whyyy.
So what was the EXP thing in the title about?
What will happen to /padt/ when the Sun and Moon tidal wave hits us?
>Do do do do do DO DO DO DO DO
What did he mean by this?
>>27035332
It will be cleansed from serenafags
>>27035332
that's the only amor that ll work out for him
>>27035335
>playing Darude during rainstorm
>>27035332
What the fuck is he wearing?
Looks like they photoshopped his head on that.
>>27035335
why are boosting moves so pointless in the anime?
>>27035332
What the fuck is he wearing?
>>27035332
If we see the new girl featured, all hell will break loose. If not, then nothing.
>>27035370
>not knowing hayai bird
>>27035370
It cut through Solar Beam. I doubt they would've done that without using Swords Dance twice.
>>27035032
Korrina plush when?
>>27035373
Suit of honor
>>27035332
>Gundam XY&Z
>>27035332
>in none of the xy movies were the companions relevant
>>27035332
Fuck, how many new outfits will he be wearing?
And this is on top of him being shirtless in a new style.
>tfw the past two episodes were so shitty they're not even worth making webms
Why didn't they get Iwane man?
>>27035446
someone made webms of them a few threads ago
>>27035452
But they're worthless. Nothing to show.
>>27035416
Will the Volcanion movie be the one where we complete the Sixty Satoshis?
Since Ash and Greninja still share pain, how is he gonna deal with Charizard X?
I don't care if people hate the league but this is the best anime arc pokemon has ever had.
Where's the data broadcast?
>>27035465
you asked for webms, you didn't specifically say battle
>>27035446
because past episodes had irrelevant battles. save the best for the battles that amtter: shota and alan
also, iwane worked on xyz27, 28 and 29, let him rest a bit
>>27035478
We'll just...have to...go...even...FURTHER!
>>27035032
How satisfying or unsatisfying will Amour's ending be?
>>27035416
>Ash is getting all the outfit changes
Soon enough pokemon will turn to fujob8, and have odd sexual references with Ash.
>>27035504
BEYOND
>>27035486
ignore them, they're fags not used to the new style of a plot driven league
>>27035497
I said they're not WORTH making webms into. I didn't ask for webms, I can make them myself.
Yeah the only worthwhile scenes are Serena's in 32. Nothing in the battles.
>>27035529
>not including the heartbreak scene
>not including the heart dodge
also while this ep has no worthy webms it has nice stills like the group shot and Shota looking at the stage
>>27035529
Hey fuck you too.
>>27033829
>>27033842
>>27033897
>>27033938
Now people saving them am not sure of
>>27035546
I said Serena's scenes paco.
>>27035469
Sixty? What are you talking about?
>>27035446
>str vs dex
>dex
you dun goofed
Is the league always this short?
>>27035529
That's too sad. I thought Blastoise getting in a last ditch Rain Dance, Skull Bash getting denied by Frenzy Plant, Blastoise tanking Leaf Blade, and Raichu in general would've made amusing webms.
>>27035593
yes
>>27035582
It's a meme.
>>27035595
Call me cancer if you want but I judge "webm worthiness" by the kind of reaction they'd get on other boards.
>>27035610
the one from the goodra return ep is a different swimsuit right?
>>27035622
yeah this, raichu's '3' face is worth a webm
>>27035596
Yup. Been so since the beginning, although the others feel longer since we saw more battles. It was DP that decided the rivals are the only ones that need to be seen.
>>27035636
and even then back in OS only half of the ep are battles, the rest are off-battle shit like team rocket stealing stuff or causing a riot
>>27035622
They must be really sad boards if Raichu being a goofy ass or Blastoise getting wrecked gets no reaction.
>>27035622
>this marked the end of Amour
>SOLAR beam during rain instead of another hydro pump
Was it desperation or fat just retarded?
>>27035745
Really? You seriously believe that?
>>27035838
characters in the anime seem very opposed to the idea of using the same move two times in a row
>>27035843
Think about how much spaghetti we've gotten since then? None.
>>27035875
That's not how it works, you idiot.
>>27035875
It's almost like the experience made her more confident around Ash.
>>27034191
You're fucking retarded. It just means that this league will be a long one. There's going to be plenty of build up to Ash vs Alain.
>>27035907
He knows and he doesn't care.
GG, dumbass.
>>27035929
She's always been confident around Ash. Just not in romantic situations.
>>27035183
If Robinhoot is real, then it's sure to fit perfectly as Ash's Alola starter Pokemon.
>>27034828
>Chespin stumbles across someone important
>episode is written by Tomioka
The episode will be focused on Team Flare shenanigans. He'll probably stumble across Lysandre since he's been absent so far despite being responsible for the league being in Lumiose City.
If anything, Chespin is raising Ash's chances of as we might see what Team Flare's involvement in the league might be. Alain won't be some friendly rival. This hypes him up as an opponent that Ash has to beat.
>>27036025
>If Robinhoot is real
>>27035907
>That's not how it works
Yes it does. Serena blushes over Ash, that was her thing. And she hasn't done it in a while. Hmmm.
>>27035946
>dumbass
Is it "dumb ass" or "dum bass"?
Hey, since we won't be getting episode next week, go watch Pokken character announcement instead
http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv268128710
it starts at the same time and day as when the anime would normally come out
>>27036116
They are still adding characters?
I though the game was already dead
>>27036116
If it's not SSJ Greninja I will eat my hat.
>>27036126
>Pokken
>dead
4chan is not a measure of a success of a game, especially the one that outsold SF5
>>27036136
But half as many EVO entrants.
>>27036127
datamining on recent patch had character data for Empoleon, Darkrai and Scizor, no one knows if it's three whole characters or one character + two assists
>>27036143
>implying that matters for sales
>forgetting that EVO is merely just one place for Pokken, where it appeared in other Pokemon-focused events and will appear at Worlds
>>27036136
I didnt know, Im glad it did well then
>>27035632
No it's the same one from the movie.
>>27036149
Legendary assists come in pairs, so between those three Darkrai would be the character.
>>27036175
>Tobias didn't come to the anime
>instead he comes to shit up in Pokken
>>27035446
I think a Tierno/Ludicolo synced dancing webm would be pretty nice. That part made me smile.
>Amour is no more
>>27035610
>globe
>aflo
>shouse
>cout
Lovely
Pokemon sun/moon merch starts in november be bye sereshit
>>27036446
Will Amour get a good conclusion?
Gee, plushies of the new starters? How shocking, I was really convinced the anime was about to end! Also, this says everything about the human cast or who will get which starter!
>>27036468
They're going to not do a goodbye scene and instead just cut directly to Serena walking home saying "That was a great farewell!"
It's going to be a long week. At least we may get Coro Coro in the meantime.
>>27033897
How do you fuck that up?
>>27036446
Goodbye shipping: the character
>>27036588
because it was intentional? it mega evolved as it attacked?
notice how most of the shit you guys shit on tend to be unnoticeable until someone points it out, meaning it's really ignorable?
>>27033774
It'll probably be Jessie's Alola mon.
>>27036629
...It was clearly meant to be Mega Absol the whole time dude. I don't know what to say if you can't notice the difference between Absol and Mega Absol, but plenty of people did.
Anyway it's obvious the Psycho Cut was stock footage...makes you wonder why they didn't use one of the various other clips from Mega Evolution 01.
>>27036678
and yet no one bitched from back then until now
>>27036136
This. People on /vg/ have been saying dota2 is dead for as long as that general existed, for example.
>>27035329
It's Shota's catchphrase.
>>27036695
"Back then"? What are you talking about, PM didn't post the raws until like, 12 hours ago. People are watching it for the first time and spotting the error.
>>27036695
Because they didn't fucking reuse it until now you shithead
Data Broadcast when?
>>27036751
>>27036746
you got the shitty raws before and posting screenies from twitter
fuck, that attack scene was posted earlier before the raws
So Absol was supposed to be in Mega since the start?
>>27036746
>SOFCJ raws still aren't out
did he died
>>27036775
We didn't see a mega evolution scene so yes
>>27036773
Not everyone lurks around here 24/7 and spoils the episodes via screens before watching it, autist. Christ.
>>27035332
Nothing changes, new wars start because Luna fans think she is better than Lillie.

>>27036943
wrong show anon
>>27037082
why would Ash's and Serena's family have a Noibat
>>27037082
>old man Pikachu
cute
>>27037082
>>27037082
>Ash Jr. having a Bulbasaur
>Implying he wouldn't have a Pichu shouldermon
>>27037082
>that Serena
>>27037082
I can't even tell who most of those are supposed to be.
>>27037140
>not being able to tell Brock, Misty, Dawn, Ash, and Serena
I'm just confused who the person taking the camera is
>>27037082
Which if the one by Ash is Serena, who is the one standing up?
>>27037082
Dawn became a dyke? Possible
>>27037159
Serena's black boyfriend.
>>27037159
Brock, Misty, Ash and Serena were the ones I could tell.
Is the short haired person with Piplup supposed to be Dawn?
>>27037171
I'm pretty sure the one holding the camera is a girl
it can't be Delia... can it?
>>27037177
yes
>>27037082
Are you happy that you're single-handedly ruining these threads?
>>27037082
>no Tierno
shit tbqh
>>27037177
Yes, most images of older Dawn have her with short hair
>>27037159
May?
>>27037082
Dat Ash looks really noice
>>27037196
Probably too. But why that shade of hair? Shouldn't it be a bit darker?
Also still confused on Noibat. Did Hawlucha die and Noivern had to replace him for Forest Guardian so he leave his son to Ash and Serena?
>>27037196
Oh, yeah, that's May, you can recognize her because of the bangs
>>27037082
Most art depicts Ash and Serena having two kids. Why is that?
>>27037082
>Brock
Where did he get that scar?
>>27037226
There's more shit art like this? People are so sad.
>>27037246
To look badass
>>27037082
>Having a pint of beer at a wine party
>Classic Brock move
>>27037226
So we can have Ash Jr. and Serena Jr.
Duh
>>27037247
What's wrong with it? It looks pretty normal to me.
>>27037300
Everything. People are taking the ship too far. Its disgusting. It'll be over soon, but still.
>>27037323
>he doesn't know
>>27037082
That ash haircut screams JUST
>>27037323
> People are taking the ship too far.
So what? They do the same with literally every other ship. I don't see what the problem is.
>>27037323
you hope
>>27037082
whose holding the camera?
>>27037386
May
>>27037082
>Short hair Dawn.
DELET AT ONCE
>>27036446
Ash might not be in the next series so the point o moot.
Did people really not expect a Sun/Moon anime regardless if Ash was there or not?
>>27037443
It's a shitposter.
Will Ash use any of his older mons in the league? Would be cool if he whipped out his super saiyan Infernape
Would be interesting if the Sun/Moon anime follows new protagonists while Ash becomes the new Alan. He gets specials once in a while showing him battling Champions and makes the occasional crossover into the main series.
That way they can sort of give Ash his conclusion and "pass the torch" while he still remains around in some form. Then by Gen 8 he can be phased out entirely.
>>27037517
Ash already said that his Kalos team was his Ultimate team and that he wasn't using any Oak mons.
Holy shit can Ash actually win this thing?
>>27037613_no.
>>27035088
the kids have tard hair,
wtf is with that shit
>>27037613
Maybe the league. But not the Serena. She got over him.
>>27037082
Tell me this is fanmade
>>27037795
zaboomafoo pls
>>27037613
Short Answer:No
Long Answer:Maybe
>>27037517
No.
But seriously speaking now, is this the best team Ash has ever fielded in a league?
>>27035446
The Goodra episode was so fucking shit. Why would they add two fillers episodes when there's already a limited amount of time until the start of S/M anime, and there's going to be a break too?
She got over him
>>27037832
Goodra ep was there to establish Goodra existing and being nearby anon
I mean for fucks sake you guys shitpost about "but froakie wasn't foreshadowed!" so when they actually do overt foreshadowing you guys complain as well
>>27037824
His Sinnoh team was pretty badass and Infernape was pretty much the Greninja of Sinnoh, but fucking Tobias man.
Every past league has always been the same length. Usually around 7 episodes. This league will be at least 6 episodes, maybe 7 depending if Ash Vs. Alan is spread out over 3 episodes.
The only difference is since Ash made it to the finals they had to sacrifice showing the earlier rounds because then the league would be 10+ episodes and for some reason the writers don't want to do that.
>>27037881
they "look" badass
but then you got Buizel and Torterra
and yeah, fuck "I don't want to evolve" Buizel
>>27037832
Goodra was one of those shitty plot episodes that felt like filler. But it was still plot.
I guess it wasn't necessary, since Kenzo just showing up with Goodra would be an even bigger surprise.
>>27037824
Two mega killers, an undefeated fully evolved psuedo, and super special Frog. Yeah, I'd say they're pretty strong. The only ones in doubt are Talonflame and Noivern, but they already proved their mettle in the gym matches and against Zapdos, respectively.
>>27037881
His Sinnoh team didn't fight Tobias.
>>27037082
S&M can't come soon enough so you and your shitty fanart can finally die already.

>>27037948
You mean three mega killers.
>>27037881
Except, you know, comparing The monkey's Blaze and the frog's synchro is like comparing Kaio-Ken and Super Saiyan.
Also, Torterra was a fucking jobber and Hawlucha is arguably better than Buizel.
>>27037984
That would actually make the Kalos league the undisputed GOAT league forever, but for the wrong reasons.
>Will Serena win da Ash?
>Shh, just enjoy the ride.
>Will May return as part of ORAS hype?

>>27037990

Hawlucha wrecked Wulfric's ace, beat a mega, and was thrashing Zapdos until it got distracted. He's pretty much his second strongest Kalos mon now, tied with Pikachu.
>>27038060
>Tomioka
>filler
>>27038060
i just wanted to see ash vs ayaka
You people are morons. The title is literally, "Fierce Fighting at the Kalos league" and Ash and Alan are the only two trainers left.
Even if the first half of the episode is set-up, Ash Vs. Alan will definitely start by the second half of it.

Now that it's confirmed Chespin has ruined the league, can we start discussing the SM anime now?
>>27038032
Haven't you paid attention to everything after Ash and Serena's argument? She's over him. There's been a significant spaghetti drought.
>>27038090
>Next Thursday, July 14th, we'll air the "Fierce! Startling!! 2 Hour Pokémon Movie Special" at 6pm! Here, we'll also give you a smashing presentation of never-before-seen footage of this year's movie, "Volcanion and the Ingenious Magearna"!

Ash will win against Alan because Alan has a level 70+ Charizard and all his other mons are around level 30.
>>27038061
What about Goodra and, you know, the Super Froge?
>>27038113

>>27038073
Tomioka has written plenty of fillers. "Remember The Four Seasons of Sawsbuck"? Yeah, Tomioka wrote that one. He's also written plenty of insignificant XY episodes like "Team Battle! Competing for the Hall of Fame!"
>>27038187
>"Team Battle! Competing for the Hall of Fame!"
>filler
give me an XY filler, not from BW
confirmed so far:
hawlucha vs slaking
sceptile vs greninja
pikachu vs aegislash
pikachu vs clawitzer
talonflame vs clawitzer
>Malamar subplot wont likely be covered
>Ash will likely never return to the Chateau
>Instead we get fucking Clemont filler and Chespin being lost filler
LITERALLY AXEW GETTING LOST 2.0
>>27038187
>He's also written plenty of insignificant XY episodes like "Team Battle! Competing for the Hall of Fame!"
>insignificant
And he wrote a bunch of BW fillers because he had clearly given up on BW's plot and just wanted to spend his time writing comfy self-contained episodes instead.
>>27038042
Goodra is already back u dumbo
>>27038117
Frog is the strongest. Goodra has yet to beat a mega or tangle with a legendary. That's why I put Hawlucha and Pikachu in the same tier.
>>27038225
I hope it gets lost forever.
>>27038113
So his sixth IS Slaking
I'm surprised they confirmed a Sun/Moon anime is happening. Ratings are so low that if the cycle continues Sun/Moon's anime ratings will be lower than XY's.
They really should just wrap up the series.
>>27038270
Pikachu's greatest feat this season was defeating a Mega Lucario that already had battled Hawlucha and Fletchling. I wouldn't rate the rat so high.
Data broadcast when?
>>27038113
ash already have 2 down
its probably like this
>Hawlucha VS slaking=Slaking
>Talonflame VS slaking= Talonflame

You can tell he stopped giving a shit towards the end there.
>>27038674
the only seemingly filler there is 11
>>27038757
It's the episode where Chachacha gets caught
>>27038780
oh right, so no fillers then
what was the staff behind the pokeball factory ep btw?
>>27038465
Probably Aegliash. Then Noivern defeats both him and Slurpuff, is defeated by Salamence, who falls before Goodra, who suffers his first defeat at the hands of Sceptile. Then Greninja comes out and it begins.

Is May the girl holding the camera? and Dawn the girl with extra short hair? i can't barely tell, but nice picture anyways.
Unova League > Kalos League
It's sad really
>>27038717
Why though? The Meloetta episodes, N finale, and obviously Decolora 20 are some of the best episodes of BW.
>>27038439
So Tomioka wrote the very first episode of BW? How do you go from writing DP191 to the next week writing BW1 and showcasing a completely different Ash that feels like DP never happened?
>>27039430
Honestly the explanation for DP Ash turning into BW Ash is, he spent several months at home in Pallet Town. It's already obvious that he didn't just get home and go to Unova the next day, there's a time skip of sorts.
>>27039430
no good writer can fight the power of executive meddling
>>27039430
Because it's the director, not the head writer, that determines series direction.
It wasn't his choice to do that, it was Worst Director's.
>the majority of the thread
Guess the weekend started early with all the chum being dumped.
>>27039430
They told him about the reboot so he said "fuck this shit" and did the most bullshit of things he could think of.
>>27039479
It wasn't a next day thing but it wasn't several months either.
>>27039430
He was merely pretending to be retarded.
Ash wasn't, though.
>>27039534
Sucks that Amour is so irrelevant now...
>>27039340
Sinnoh League > Johto League > Hoenn League > Unova League > Kalos League > Kanto League
Had so many high hopes for XY
>>27039340
>>27039340
Fuck off with that shit. I agree that Kalos' league isn't the best but trying to compare it to Unova's is insulting.
>>27039836
I don't know why you're trying to fib with your post.
>>27039882
>Judging the Kalos league before the two 6vs6 battles.
Wow.
>>27038113
>http://media.pocketmonsters.net/news/2665/previewNext_B.mp4
Nice. From next episode and forward, the fights will have good animation! Huzzah.
Takashi Shinohara, who is credited as animation director for the next episode, is actually a really good animator. He did the evolution episode with Talonflame and Moltres, and that one had some really slick looking fighting scenes. Obviously not on Iwane/Nishitani/Ohashi level, but pretty much the next best thing.
>>27039882
How is a league where the main character of the series doesn't win remotely good? for me all of them are shit.
>>27039340
Kalos League is better than Kanto and Unova leagues.
>tfw the league ruined the XY anime and now even Hoenn was a better saga overall
Shit
>>27039985
They had a lot of good battling
>>27039985
His list is shit but went full idiot.
>>27040014
You're trying way too hard.
>implying league is imporatnt
TF is more important for now, it will have epic battles and cool plot.
League is just prologue to TF arc and conclusion of rivlary with Shota.
>>27040109
>TF is more important for now, it will have epic battles
The evil team showdowns rarely have any decent battles. That's not what they're about.
>>27040134
XY breaks some patterns.
>>27039985
Because it didn't skip battles. We haven't seen Ash battle yet. We're down to top 4.
>>27040165
>Because it didn't skip battles.
Sinnoh and Johto skipped battles, but not as much as Kalos, yes.
I'm not watching any more. The league has been terrible.
>>27040272
Ok.
>>27040209
It skipped a a lot of battles. Namely from the prelims and shit.
>>27040272
See you in a couple of weeks, champ
>>27039970
There's been no spaghetti for 10 episodes.
>>27040403

Pls.
>>27040209
Sinnoh and Johto skipped battles as much. I mean hell, Unova dedicated two episodes to a preliminary 1v1.
>>27037082
>piplup still not an empoleon after all this years
What a shit trainer
At least you can control pikachu and togetic evolution
>>27040165
You must be the biggest idiot if you cant even comprehend why they are skipping battles

It's literally from that huehue book/story/whatever the fuck it is about Ash, Red, and other shit.

Only skipped Ash-battle was Top32.

>>27040735
It's the only thing that shows Serena still has a crush and lust after Ash
>>27040648
You'll get it when you get older
>>27040757
Whatever floats your boat anon
>>27040648
>>27040738
There's your answer.
>>27040648
>>27040735
BeaIl is making a book of Ash vs red. It's autism really.
Sinnoh > Kalos
>>27038127
>Orange Shuriken is on a grass field
>Ash vs Shota is on a forest stage, with a grass field
?????
>>27040757
It isn't, you're just autistic.
So, now that we know all of Shota's 3 first Pokémon, as well as Ash's first 3, what do you guys think about the matchups for the latter half?
Salamence, Slurpuff and Mega-Sceptile against Noivern, Goodra and Ash-Greninja. On paper it looks like Shota will have the advantage with all of Shota's Pokémon having an advantage against Ash's Pokémon. I think if Ash is to win this match, he really has to assert himself as the superior trainer.
>>27040835
It shifts to a rocky field when it's Greninja vs. Sceptile.
>>27040875
Oh, ok.
>>27040835
>not seeing the other preview where Sceptile and Greninja fight on the rock field meaning the grass field is with Alan
>>27040872
I guess Goodra will barely defeat Salamence, then Slurpuff will defeat him. Same thing for Noivern, Slurpuff and Sceptile, respectively.
>>27040930
No I did, I just forgot about it.
>>27040872
Salamence is going to get ridiculously shut down by Goodra and Slurpuff's show to be slow andsquishy.
My wife's Asian son really wants Serena to win Ash!
You know for his first time in the a regional league, Shota's done incredibly well to get to the top 4. He's built a decent team and attempted to actually learn and grow from his loses.
Meanwhile Ash went into his first league with a bunch of nfe starters, a fucking Pidgeotto and had to rely on a Kingler he'd never used before to carry him through the early rounds.
>>27041123
But it did carry him though. He probably would've defeated Ritchie had Team Rocket not tired out all his other Pokemon and the refs changing the rules at the last second for no reason.
>>27041014
>My wife's Asian son
Cuck?
>>27040842
There's been no big blushes like the ones in XYZ12 or 22 since their argument. Sounds to me like Serena is over Ash.
>>27041123
Pidgeotto deserved really fucking more.
God i'm still mad about him rotting in the stupid forest.
I fucking hope Talonbro will get one win against Shota or Alan. Please for fucking sake don't make him the jobber.
>>27041158
The refs bullshit was really it.
>>27041158
>the refs changing the rules at the last second for no reason.
This shit again?

OS Ash didn't have a senpai desu
>>27041158
>Had a perfectly fine Kingler and Muk as his trump cards
>Still went with the tired as fuck Pikachu and disobedient Charizard
Refballed or not, Ash still fucked his team selection.
>>27041193
Even if he chokes in the league he was a machine during the gyms, I know the league is far more important but let's give him a break if he fails.
