Reception for Serena's dub is very volatile from what I notice, it's literally love it or hate it

The most universal complaint is that she doesnt sound her age

Meanwhile, Zygarde got the spotlight in the anime to a degree no other legendary ever has and he's going to steal the show from the gen 7 mons in their own games. Talk about getting uncucked.

I met Clemont's dub VA at an IHOP in New York yesterday. He was eating pancakes and asked the nice waitress to get five more extra bottles for his table only. I told him how meh it was to meet him in person, but I didn't want to be a douche and bother him and ask him about his shitty dub work or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you're doing right now?" then got the extra syrup. I noticed that the waitress had to take some from the other tables in order to fulfill his need. I was taken aback, and all I could say was "Huh?" but he kept cutting me off and going "THE FUTURE IS NOW THANKS TO SCIENCE" and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued to my table, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off.

He then got all of his syrup bottles and drenched his entire stack full of pancakes, then he lapped the mushy shit up like a dog. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen pounds of syrup-packed pancake glop in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for your meal first.”

At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When they started the transaction, he stopped her multiple times by burping in her face rudely, making her smell all the maple goo he just swallowed down. Then he left while gorging down on his leftovers saying "WOAH WELCOME TO EB GAMES. COPY THAT"

Why don't they just simuldub already?

Literally no such thing as people who dont know the JP version exists, the internet is a thing. Casual/normie pokemon enthusiasts are stupid, but they aren't that stupid.

Simuldub is the future my boys, they should just hop on it already.

>>
>>27201811
But some other guy said nobody dies in the movie. Make up your mind.
>>
>>27201290
Yeah but at least Bonnie's VA seems to give a shit about pokemon and doesn't seem like a dramacunt like Ash and May's VA.
>>
>>27201758
Children don't go looking for the jp version let alone subbed episodes, those ideas might not even go through their heads.
>>
>>27201707
>worldwide game releases
>but no worldwide anime release
>even though 99% of the current marketing for the franchise is about how pokemon brings the world together/how everyone plays pokemon/showing real life people from around the world enjoying the series be it by games show or TCG

Even if they literally changed nothing about the dub's production, there would be at least some degree of increased viewership/shits given if they kept up with the original
>>
>>27201758
The only thin a simuldub would do is call attention to the fact that it's a simuldub of SOMETHING, which would lead more people to check out the original and see how bad the dub is. They don't want that.
>>
>>27201796
>>27201849
Millennial kids dont watch the dub. Certainly not at 6 fucking AM with no other timeslots.
>>
>>27201758
Fuck that, just stream the episode online with subs for whatever language the viewer is watching it in.
>>
>>27201851
That's because TPCi treats the anime as some largely irrelevant TV ad. Hence the shit budget.
>>
What's a simuldub?
>>
>>27201900
Uhhhh it pretty much is a TV ad, champ, even the original.
>>
>>27201906
referring to simulcasting both the original Japanese language episodes and English dubbed episodes at the same time
>>
>>27201906
When an English dub releases alongside the original Japanese version.

It started gaining traction when Funimation/Toonami pulled it off with Space Dandy by airing the dub episodes before the original in 2014. Nowadays it's a pretty common practice to do.
>>
>>27201873
Well, somebody has to be watching, otherwise CN would just air something else instead, no?
>>
>>27201974
They're probably contractually obligated by TPCi to air the show whether they want to or not, hence the Teen Titans Go! airings that completely surround it.

TPCi is shit but they seriously don't fuck around when it comes to CN, that's like the one department they aren't weak-kneed in.
>>
>>27201974
my 10 year old nephews do

but why would they care for watching subs or even care about it for that matter
>>
>>27201974
It's well-known that TPCi has CN by the balls and will cut them loose if they try any funny business. see: Zoroark movie

Is that true? I know TV is suffering, but not that much. How low does it have to be to be cancelled?

What a cutie that Greninja is.

Serena getting over Ash is character development.
>>
>>27202237
That ship is deader than amour.
>>
>>27202179
For comparison, Steven Universe gets around 1.6m and it's one of the network's highest rated shows. Cartoon Network has to pay out of pocket for all of that show's production costs. Pokemon gets around half of those ratings, while being dirt cheap because it's already animated and TPCi pays for most of the dubbing costs because they like having their toy commercial in a place where kids will see it.

Pokemon is basically pure profit for CN.

Now that I saw the Pokefan scans, I do wonder if Shota fucks off immediately after losing to Ash in the league.

He doesn't seem to be with and the others, and even Alain is by Ash's side.
>>
>>27202321
Serena is practically Ash's wife now. And everyone knows it's all downhill from there.
>>
>>27202374
>He doesn't seem to be with and the others, and even Alain is by Ash's side.

I'm sure he sticks around. After all, he admires Ash in the same fashion Serena does.
>>
Stop replying to him.

That could easily be taken as something a mother would do.

>And everyone knows it's all downhill from there.

They do? Is that why people get triggered when one points out the major lack of shipping stuff recently from Serena?

I actually wondered if Shauna/Tierno/Trevor or Shota would be in the Flare finale at all, given it takes place directly after. Judging by the scans I'm guessing not.

Yes.

0.27 is pretty good for a show that doesn't get much advertisement.

Just started watching XY on Netflix.


Does it include the three previous seasons or just the first of the three [does anyone know]?


I used to watch the series and the films when I was younger, so I thought XY was okay to jump instead of going through the 700 other episodes first, or was I wrong?
>>
>>27202859
There are three of them right now: the wulfric arc/stale guy, the ironic anti-shitposter, and the virulent anti-amourfag. These last two seem to only appear in the weekend nowadays, though.

Just report and ignore, jannies seem to be more active thanks to the GO activity.

>honestly they screwed this up so royally i am forced to choose between two turds either ash wins in a terrible and unexciting and over all crap league or he loses and the league which was already crap becomes super crap i hate both of these options. but i'd rather the super crap into forgetting kalos ever existed option over having to remember kalos forever as the crap league ash finally won.

>>
>>27204068
I seriously can't understand why some people have such a hard time accepting we don't need to see Ash absolutely destroy fodder trainers because he's exceedingly powerful, something they've clearly established in the first league episodes and earlier in the series too. Not to mention this is the first league where we're getting two proper 6vs6 battles against already established rivals with no bullshit attached and that it's going to be 7 episodes long just like Sinnoh.

>>27203869

He's gotten more attention than any other legendary. They usually drop the legendary in the next gen, but Zygarde gets the focus for two gens in a row. This means Zygarde is going to get a lot of attention in mangas as well.

SM anime will probably explain his powers. He's Pokemon's version of Omegamon in a way.

I'm rewatching some older league matches and it's frustrating to see Ash get tossed around by literally whos and barely manage to win by the skin of his teeth each time.

If there were an XY-Ash level trainer in the first season's Indigo League, he would have violently shat all over the entire competition then caught Moltres during the awards ceremony on accident.

We don't know anything about it except that it's codenamed MH. My guess is that it'll come out late next year since the 3DS needs to be replaced as its market has saturated and its sales have fallen off massively. And it's really old by now, so it'd need to be replaced anyway.

>>27204533

When was the last time you saw Talonflame emote?
>>
>>27203869
While he's somewhat retarded he does have a slight point. This league hasn't exactly had any excitement whatsoever. And when people say that it could not have been because Ash is so powerful, I could easily see them making Ash's league run at least as exciting as DP's if only he got to meet the right, competent people. Why would Trevor and Tierno be thrown off for the other rivals to face, for example? It's Ash we're supposed to follow and root for, not the rivals. And even then, it's not too much of a stretch to make people who at least are capable of Mega Evolution to give an exciting show for it to be worth an episode, rather than just 3 seconds of screentime.

It's not hard to write stuff like this to be exciting, the staff simply chose not to until the final stretch of the tournament this time, probably because of time and/or episode count restraint.

The same reason why Barry job against Paul and not Ash even though he was presented as one of the rivals.
Same with BW, everyone faced each other instead of battling Ash.

>>27203869
A lot of DP fanboys are upset Ash is winning the league here instead of back in DP. Even Noodle keeps saying this on his tumblr, that, "I really don't want Ash to win the league since there's no build-up to it," etc.

Its really just butt-hurt from overly obsessive DP fanboys.
>>
>>27204570

All they fucking needed was a 5 minute montage of Ash's Pokemon wrecking randoms. They could have easily cut down Tierno vs Shota's spoken word scenes, and that overly long Raichu vs Slurpuff section. This show wastes a lot of fucking time with shit like that. Sometimes pure action is all you need. Budget is no excuse, it's the league. I'd even take stock footage over NOTHING.
>>
>>27204905
Agreed, it was a great battle. It's kind of a shame that Trevor got fed to Alan, but honestly every rival who'd have to face Alan barring maybe Shota would get wrecked to oblivion.
>>
>>27204926
>it made Tierno look relatively competent

He didn't even use his rhythm strategy. That's why the fight was ass.
>>
>>27204987
I would have liked a Shota v Alain fight if only to make the latter realize that there are worthy opponents in competitive battling apart from Ash

That fight was impossible for reasons though
>>
>>27205023
nah
shota vs alan would be same shit vs trevor
maybe a little harder for alan, but still cahrizard would 6-0
>>
>>27204997
Why did they even bother to give Tierno a Hitmontop and Politoed and not even get to see them in the league?
>>
how would you feel if Brock came back the next season?
>>
>>27204967
But XY has more buildup to Ash winning the league than DP had. DP mostly just built up to Ash beating Paul in the league.
>>
>>27205038
You're not giving Shota enough credit.
>>
>>27204737
They're already cutting Alan battle with Chespin shit
>>
>>27204997
Tierno's gimmick is dumb

Everyone else manages evasion well without bringing all those flourishes into it. Just look at Ash's classic DP strategy, "just fucking spin at everything", or Diantha's "just move out of the way of everything"
>>
>>27205062
It was a matter of matching his "dancing" theme, although you can argue Raichu doesn't really fit in there but eh, he likely had a sixth pokémon we never got to see.

>>27205075
Bad.
>>
>>27204680
If Charizard returns, he should have one of the strongesr super synchro moves/power-ups from SM rather than a mega evolution. The corny yet lovable Gen 7 mechanic suits Ash more than Mega Evolution. Making a third mega for Charizard would also rub people off in the wrong way.

Ash's Charizard is pretty much mega in everything but design and name.

>>27204696
The Entei he fought was a super Entei powered by every single Unown, so it would stomp any other Entei in existence. That Entei could probably give Zygarde some trouble.
>>
>>27205117
If you mean Alan's semfinal, that's happening before Ash vs Shota in the next episode. If you mean the finals, it's already going to be two full episodes if not part of the Chespin episode two, why would you need three episodes for a six-vs-six when two are plenty?

The Pokemon Molly created through her imagination were more powerful than real ones. That's how she curbstomped Brock with cutemons and outplayed Misty with Watermon despite Misty being a water type specialist.
Naturally Entei would follow suit.

>>27205135

No, this was advanced evasion and momentum into attacks. It was Tierno's thing. And flashiness is GOOD for battles, especially league battles. It was his thing and he didn't even use it in his most major battle. That's just laziness from the staff.

We don't know if there's any kind of battling in the episode nor how important it is. If it's focused on Ash reflecting back to his journey and preparing with his team for their ultimate battle I'll be quite happy with it over another battle episode (as much as I would've liked to see more of Ash vs Ayaka).
>>
>>27205267
why the hell would you waste budget on those garbage battles? obviously, all the budget is going into ash vs alain
>>
>>27205267
It could just be a difference in experience. Trevor was never an exceptional trainer and Alan has been shown to be a very strong one.
Trevor's Charizard not being very strong and Alan's being stupidly strong would make it nothing more than glorified fodder, especially since Drought was in play, boosting MeaZard X's already powerful flamethrower.
>>
>>27204847
I was referring to Louis(?) and Ayaka specifically. We know next to nothing of their prowess in this league, yet they were able to Mega Evolve and both made it to the top 8 in this tournament at the very least.

I liked Tierno vs Shota, but it should just have been one of like 3 battles AT LEAST that we should've seen by now, not one and a half.
>>
>>27205189
The player character poses and his/her Pokemon powers-up and does something. We even see Rowlett glowing as if it were powering up afterwards. That trailer makes it clear that there's a new mechanic that involves the posing and the pokemon powering up, but it's the underlying mechanics that are unknown.

League matches eschew all the flashy bullcrap in favor of straightforward battling though. All the twirly stuff and hopping around looks like it'd be more in place in a contest battle.

>What is speculation
It's obvious that moves will play some part in SM given Kukui is researching Pokemon attacks.
That and the 3 starters powering up due to the weird dance and gems followed by them each using an attack of the specific type the gem's represented obviously means that it's some sort of super move they can use.
It's not hard to infer that "Super Moves", for lack of a better term, will play some part in the game.

The fuck are you talking about? League matches are the flashiest in the series. I don't mean the trainers TRYING to be flashy deliberately, I mean the animators drawing it that way. Tierno's style lends itself to that.

Tierno's flashiness was practical, it confused opponents and streamlined his movements. It's his fighting style. Abandoning it makes for a poor showing of his character and a disappointing battle.
>>
>>27205439
To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if Serena hugs Ash after he wins the league.

>>
>>27205472
Yeah but that's just a matter of presentation, not some in-universe thing of everyone suddenly deciding showmanship is important during important fights. Like look at Greninja's extended transformation sequence in his first abbreviated league match against croptop guy. In a contest battle it'd be like "holy shit that coordinator must have trained him real good to make such an entrance", In a league match it's not commented since it's just to make an impression on the viewer. Alternatively it's a premeditated show of intimidation on Ash's part but he doesn't strike me as that kind of guy.
>>
On a side note, do you guys realize that we're probably getting another anime-exclusive form with Red Zygarde?

>>27205512

But it was good. Better than Paul vs Berry. You're just bullshitting and use words you think seem fit for said BS. You have no actual arguments. Just made up shit about Tierno's "battle style" that is not even correct.
>>
I'd like to add that we'd already seen the rhythm strategy not work against strong enough opponents. During the double battle between Raichu/Wartortle and Pikachu/Goodra, the latter two simply overpowered Tierno's team without letting them dodge by dancing. As for Tierno vs Shota, Shota mostly attacked as Tierno's Pokémon were also attacking, which is probably the counter to his rhythm strategy he mentioned to Ash before the battle.

Well, Eevee specifically outdanced Blastoise, what I was talking about was Pokémon being too powerful for the rhythm strategy to be effective, such as when Goodra picked the dancing Wartortle up, threw it ad Raichu and then overwhelmed both with one Dragon Pulse.

Who's even talking about showmanship? That's not the point. The dance strat is in no way just for show, it's a provably effective battle style that made Tierno stronger. Him not using it just made Shota's victory less meaningful, and the fight less exciting.

That's conjecture, the show has never pointed out or implied a flaw in the strategy or Tierno's fundamentals. He just got outplayed or overpowered, losing DESPITE the strategy, not because of it.

If the league match was actually about Shota playing around the strat and exploiting its vulnerabilities, it would be good, but that wasn't even a factor. They just abandoned it altogether with no justification.

>>27202198

Fucking where? Like I said, the only use was rapid spinning against Attract. He wasn't dancing around his opponents at all. Just compare it to the webm >>27205267

>>27206057

No, I'm repeating what they talked about in the camp. The dancing improves his movement for dodging, and lets him transition the momentum into attacks. Ash modified it by transitioning into attacks in mid air and during recoil.

Again there was never a point about the strategy being faulty. Ash beat him in the 3v3 because Clemont deflected Rapid Spin with Vine Whip, staggering him, and later Goodra just plain outmuscled him because it's a fucking pseudo.

He could have danced around Aegislash's attacks, especially under Swift Swim, but he didn't even try.
