HAPPENING
HA HA HA EAT A DICK SERENA FAGGOTS
There was a thread a couple weeks or so ago with someone claiming they had seen a promotional poster for the SM anime that had a Mudsdale pre-evo on it which sounded close to the one revealed today. Has anyone seen/saved it?
>>27463592
Greenshauna already won my heart
>>27463604
I fucking called it
>Lilliecucks BTFO
>Ash confirmed for Litten
>delicious brown companion confirmed
>Serena IS leaving
>Gigavolt Havoc replaces Electrofucking Ball
Did I miss anything?
>>27463592
Naked apron fanart where? She's already halfway there.
>Ash-Greninja confirmed as anime-only, "synchro" is just a powerful "Z-move"
>no gyms or E4
>Orange Islands shenanigans with a brown non-game MC companion
>coldsteel and exeggulong
XY confirmed for being the last pinnacle of the anime. Unless Ash somehow becomes the Brock/Tracey/Cilian of the region, SM will be another BW.
>>27463516
Is that even anime-related artwork, though? Multiple fully evolved starters together, only Ash and this game girl... it feels a lot more like general concept art than anything.
>>27463667
OK Ash.
So even if Ash wins the league /padt/ will be gone to shit until they reveal actual information of the SM anime?
>>27463390
Well, the leaks pretty much confirm Ash wins the Kalos League.
Only because there aren't going to be gyms, maybe not even a "league" in Alola.
>>27463734
And who will be the third companion?
>A brown girl replacing Serena.
Fuck this shit.
this isn't marvelous at all...
>>27463776
I'd question why the Chinese would have anime-related artwork that should be at OLM, but it is what it is. It's likely ideas drawn by Game Freak and affiliates about both the games and the anime.
>>27463784
Shitposters are already finding things to jump onto.
>>27463808
We don't know that. These "trial" things feel rather limited in scope, there could easily be gyms in addition to them.
>>27463838

>>27463865
>>27463856
It would seem the Kahunas fill the role of the gym leaders, except it you don't simply go and challenge them.
>>27463852
Exactly. That's not how the actual anime concept art looks at all, either.
>>27463390
>Will Serena win da Ash?
>It sure looks that way.
>After what happened today.
I think you need to change that anon.
>>27463968
What happened today?
>>27464022
>>27462592
Educate yourself.
>>27464022
Sun and moon companion confirmed
those three starter leaks confirmed
no gyms in alola confirmed.
Captcha: Select all images of Palm Trees.
>>27463932
Wasn't there concept artwork of Dewott and Ash prior to BW? Yet Dewott barely showed up in the anime.
>>27463839
>A brown girl replacing Serena
>yfw Iris returns
>>27463592
She's so cute. I wouldn't mind it at all if she became Ash's new companion.
So is Ash going to reset again? It doesn't seem like that Litten evolution listens.
Serena is not winning da Ash. That's a one less reason to live for.
>>27464087
That was an animator guide for BW4 specifically. Hence why it didn't even have Dent on it, since he wasn't in that episode.
All episodes have such guides, they're primarily to make the character's relative heights clear to everyone.
>>27464168
Why do you say this?

It's a design/height reference sheet for one specific episode, not for the BW anime as a whole.

Weird.
>>27464260

I didn't like the first couple of gym battle episodes but they got pretty good.

>>27464724
Nevermind, tomorrow we should get new summaries for XY&Z37, right? And for the next couple days it doesn't seem like people will come to /padt/ for a legitimate discussion.
>Lunafags and Lilliefags just got fucking blown away
>>27464817
Lunafriends were comfy and humble and already said it didnt matter to them how the season turned out
those bitter passive aggressive Lilliecucks though yes, they did get B T F O hard
But what about the orange Ash Greninja shuriken, It wont be a Z-Move so what is it?
ASH IS GOING TO WIN THE LEAGUE, IM CALLING IT!
With the introduction of the new game it got me thinking, what if he wins and is sent to Aloha as they dont (currently according to the leaks which are now true) have an Elite 4 or 'league' He goes there and is told that its his duty to recruit people for an Aloha league. That way he has a new goal rather than ''Win a league''
I think this is a good way to repay the fans for being cucked so many years and also doesnt take from the ''pokemon master'' dream.
So the no gyms on the next game mean that ash is winning this league? He wont have another chance
>>27464895
Just a stronger Water Shuriken.
>>27464804
>out as his third and last Pokémon!!
Wait the finals only have 3? I thought that was just for the prelims (haven't watched the RAWs here).
So no 6v6? That sucks.
>>27464749
It's specifically not anime concept art, so AT MOST GF decided to just randomly put Ash and Apron in there because it had already been decided she'd be part of the SM anime.
Or they just picked some characters at random.
>>27464890
>Lunafriends were comfy and humble
because spamming every thread with their pasta was being humble?
>>27464582
We Orange Islands now
>Variant Pokemon
>4 Island Challenges
>>27464582
That would be the tits.
Crystal Onix will be Rock/Steel type and Alola Steelix being pure Steel instead of Steel/Ground.
>>27464968
youre confusing lunafriends with the AshxLuna anti-amourshitposter
>>27463769
>Orange Islands shenanigans with a brown non-game MC companion
This could've been fun if they use new cast all together, instead of dragging Ash into it again.
>>27464949
Last of the episode, we already know 4 of his pokémon.
>>27464817
Not really. For all we know, she'd just be present for the first arc/island, and each successive arc gets a new companion, while SM/Lilie is permanent.
>>27464905
Alola sounds more like a vacation region than a league one.
>>27464545
Functionally the same. Fight a bunch of the island's top trainers to earn the right to challenge the island Kahuna. Rinse and repeat on 4 maybe 5 islands if the manmade one counts
Only change is you're battling a loose association of the toughest people on the island instead of an officially mandated qualification test
>>27464169
Jesus christ...
>>27464949
Adamant said
>Actually, since there's an intermission and field change after someone's third Pokemon has been defeated, it's probably just referring to that. Alan isn't going to send out a fourth mon in this half of the battle.
>Still a weird way of putting it, though.
So its confirmed Ash getting a Fire/Dark heel tiger
Hau gets Popplio and Mallow obviously has Rowlet
>>27464949
Adamant noted it's just strange/possibly erroneous wording. It seems to be referring to Alan's third Pokémon in the first half of the match alone. We've already seen screenshots of four of his Pokémon in the battle anyway.
>>27464804
>Fierce battle finally concludes
"Team Flare Will Interrupt the Battle Fags" BTFO
>>27464949
It's 6 on 6, the summary is just being weird.
>>27464895
I think the orange Ash Greninja Shuriken will be a Z move. It's the standard giant Shuriken throw that's just an anime version of the standard Shuriken attack.
>>27463592
Dayum, she's a cute.
How will Amourfags react if she ends up winning the Ash?
i hope they retcon the orange islands into alola
like after this ash just says "oh yeah i already won that shit, guess i'm leaving forever with waifu now"
>>27465043
>Ash Greninja is in the game
Will the BTFO on /vp/ ever end?
>>27464979
>orange islands extended for years
>>27465058
Nah. The image only shows Ash leaning over a Litten evo while Popplio and Rowlet are playing around it. It could just be a random evo that's sick while the Island Girl is looking after it and Ash runs in to her.
So will X Zard miraculously survive the Orange Giga Shuriken, similar to how Frieza somehow tanked a Spirit Bomb?
>>27465223But I liked Orange Islands
>>27465241
Or just a concept art to show the design and how it works without much further implications.
>>27464220
I'd imagine that the canceled Team Plasma episode changed a lot of BW's story. Perhaps all of the starters were supposed to evolve, but only Tepig evolved since his development didn't take place in episodes that may have involved TP.
>>27464582
Blue shiny Onix looks majestic.
>>27465171
The issue with that is that Z Moves have been described as being one per type, and the water type one is not a souped-up Water Shuriken. Although those work with the bracelets and Perfect Zygarde's Core Enforcer seems to be a bullshit OP Z Move specific to it that requires no bracelet, so maybe certain legendary-level mons like Ash Greninja (assuming he's in the game as per the leak linked to here) will function like that.
>>27465223
if brock didn't leave OI would have been my favorite season.
As much as I love XY now I still miss him.
>>27465241
>>27465306
The starters are all joining the cast anyways regardless if you want them to or not, it's just a matter of who gets them and how many Ash gets.
>>27465223
chance
>>27465202
>Ash Greninja is in the game
>that means Ash is in the game
>>27465383
What the fuck is happening here? Is that girl twisting Ash's nuts?
>>27465375
That's for sure, but anything else is unclear.
>>27465202
No, it's /vp/'s fault for not being as humble as /a/ or any other board that knows of Ash's chance at winning the league. Can't wait for this fag board to be BTFO. /vp/ is only good for anime leaks and game leaks.
>>27465435
>the leaked starter evos aren't anime concept art at all, it's in-game
>Ash is the strongest Kahuna
>>27465352
It could be a Dark attack, although that would be kind of odd considering its design.
>>27465223
At least they get to ride something else aside lapras.
>>27463734
>Ash confirmed for Litten
What?
>>27465435
>'Ash' on starters concept-art

>>27463592

>>27465435
>after you catch ash greninja, ash ketchum remains within fifty feet of you for the rest of the game
>cries of motto motto tsuyoku will be heard every thirty seconds
>>27465306
Yeah, but speculation is free here. If you want to stretch it, have Ash's quest for Mallow be looking for herbs so she can cook up some food for the sick evo.
>>27463592
> SM breaking all trends
> Mallow top waifu material
Is she confirmed to be the one to win da Ash?
>Z-Move
>Z-Power
>Z-Ring
>Z-Crystal
Puni's role not over after XY ends?
>>27465559
>XY&Z Alola version plays in the background
>>27465375
It'll be baracat or Robin Hoot. Poppmaid is the designated girlmon
Honestly /padt/ are you man enough to admit you were BTFO about the starters?
>>27465541
great. another burly pokemon for the incredibly homoerotic (and hairy) doujin sect.
>>27465622
Turns out Zygarde is Alola's property after all.
>>27465593
But it doesn't appear to be sick if it's warming the pot thing.

>>27465329
>I'd imagine that the canceled Team Plasma episode changed a lot of BW's story. Perhaps all of the starters were supposed to evolve, but only Tepig evolved since his development didn't take place in episodes that may have involved TP.
Did you even fucking read the related posts? It's a "BW episode 4 and only episode 4" reference sheet.
>>27465505
What if they run into the Lapras herd which has migrated to Alola and Ash's Lapras came back to transport him in the island region again?
>>27465742
Are you okay?
>>27465633
I was fine with Robin Hoot and Poppmaid but I hope Game Freak wouldn't be retarded enough to make what looks to be another Fire/Fighting starter. Alas.

in the interest of not starving to death, get on the lapras
>>27465948
Tell her I don't want leper near me.
>>27465948
Ash won't be going with just her though.
We have at least one or two companions left to know of
The question is whether they'll keep doing 4-man or go back to 3-man, if 3-man it's bound to be a boy, but if 4-man it could be a boy and another girl, or a boy and another boy
>>27466039
What if he travels with all four Kahunas?
>>27466039
We don't even know if Ash himself is really going, considering these came from GameFreak.
>>27465999
>Zinnia is Ash's father
>>27466008
I really liked the Orange Islands though
>>27465541
She also fits the "cook" role in the group
>anime versions of Z moves
sweet god please
>>27466094
no anon, presence of ash ketchum in video game concept scribbles is for sure one hundred percent confirmation
>>27466146
So is the red shuriken the Dark type Z move, then?
Archer Owl seems right up Ash's playstyle. You know the baracat would be wasted on him.
>Pikachu's ultimate attack is Gigavolt Havoc
That sounds too powerful, desu.
>>27466039
They better have another loli joining the cast.Wouldn't mind if we got more Bonnie though.
>>27466179
What's that black ink stuff coming off Greninja's hair-crest thing
If Luna doesn't join the cast, doesn't that mean Ash has a higher chance of getting more than one starter again?
And that worked so well the last few times that happened..
>>27466203

>>27466203
>yfw it's Lana
>>27466179
Why would he be in game art concepts, though?
>>27466291
Read the thread. It's not anime art.
>>27466201
It isn't just Pikachu's it's the electric type move.

>>27466291
No duh! But GameFreak doesn't do the anime.
>>27466407
>male MC ever joining the main cast
So Ash-Greninja is really anime-exclusive, right?
Also, in the case the golden shuriken is indeed a Z move, then why does Ash not need a stone to do it?
>>27466327
>Ash-Greninja
i dont think they'll get away with using hamon overdrive in the show without blowing up a stadium
>>27466389
Hasn't Ken Sugimori drawn anime characters on his "style" before?
>>27466242
Nah, this is how it goes:

>Apron girl join them only after first half of the season

>>27466493
>Pidgeot returns to carry Ash
>Will Serena win da Ash?
> It sure looks that way.
Time to change this.
>>27466430
It would be strange.
I mean, has anime ever marketed things that are not there?
Because GreninjAsh receives absurdal amounts of merchandise and screentime as an anime only gimmick.
Especially in anime that is 20 years old commercial
>>27466201
so ash greninja is just ash being a magic guy and the giant shuriken, sentai poses, and zygarde are the game advertisement
>>27466430
ash is jam packed with aura bullshit energy and also he turned into a stone once in the first movie for like thirty seconds, i bet he counts
>>27463390
GOODBYE SERENA
AHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
AHHAHAHA\
HAHAHA
HAH
AHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
>>27466549
One thing doesn't lead into the other shitpost-kun.
>>27466430
>So Ash-Greninja is really anime-exclusive, right?
>>27465043
>>27466493
That'd honestly be amazing and a great callback
Lapras was with Ash when it was young so it could be full grown now
>>27463932
Yeah, it's game concept art. Compare this...
>>27466454
Yes. But my actual point is that I'd assume that the anime producers and game producers have artists who go back and forth between mediums or work for both at once. So seeing ash in game concept is not really impossible. He is the secondary face of pokemon after all.
>>27466564
Well Ash-Greninja appeared in Shuffle...
>>27466655
Amazing.
>>27466636
To this.
It's easy to tell the styles apart.
>>27466659
That's possibly true, more so that OLM staff goes to GameFreak, since the anime things are based on the games after all.
>>27466708
it gets a bit confusing because sometimes sugimori or another official artist does concepts or sketches of anime characters
pretty sure paul has a settei sheet somewhere where he basically looks exactly like Gen II's Silver
since Ash appears only in Litten's evo artwork can we assume that he will get Litten in Alola?
I mean, the trio of Sceptile - Greninja - Litten's evo would be pretty damn good
>>27466632
Lapras already showed up full-grown all the way back in Johto, anon. It's also similar to Pidgeot in that it has adult responsibilities to do now.
>>27466674
Ice Ninetails in Shuffle when?
>>27466708
>a final form facial character reference is the same as near-finalized concept art
wew
>>27466787
All the starters will join the cast, it's just a matter of who's getting who. He may get more than just Litten.
>>27466787
>can we assume that he will get Litten in Alola?
We can, but we could be wrong for reasons discussed thoroughly in the thread.
>>27466773
I was mostly referring to how the concept art is laid out. The anime art is always very clean and shows how the characters look from different angles and with different expressions, while the game concept art is more about showing off the feel of the character and tends to be full of dynamic poses and shit.
>>27466346
>>27466408
i skimmed the thread and couldn't find anyone posting proof that it's not anime artwork or from game freak
>Ash goes to Alola after being invited to the pokemon world tournament
>Gets their really early so he can explore the region
>Completes the island challenges and such
>The pokemon world tournament acts as the league
>Can nolstagia fest while keeping the story moving
>>27466787
>since Ash appears only in Litten's evo artwork can we assume that he will get Litten in Alola?
No more than we can assume he gets any other random Pokemon.
i'm ready
let's take this all the way back to red/blue concept art, i'm ready for lapras' triumphant return
it can take a leaf out of flint's book and leave those other lapras to fend for themselves for a few years
>>27466615
> It sure looks that way.
This should have never been there in the first place. The original answer was much better.
>>27466636
>>27466708
the sun/moon leak doesn't look like either of those desu
also sugimori does character design for both the anime and games so who the fuck knows
>>27463838
Can't have more tanned guy or girl. Pale companion is needed. Like how misty countered brock and cilan countered isis.
>>27466863
It IS confirmed to be game artwork from Game Freak. It's not anime artwork.
>>27466937
No Lilliefags, you were BTFO, just let it go already.
>>27466863
The Pokémon are designed by GameFreak and the leaker was supposedly an employee that worked on stuff related to the games.
>>27466863
We can't tell either way, but Chinese having access to anime-specific artwork would be strange, especially since their leaks were about the games and not the anime.
>>27466933
the leak looks like hasty scribbles compared to either that sycamore concept or the paul settei sheet
>>27466937
So...
Serena?
>Hawaii region
>the female Trial Captains are relatively covered
fuck this shit
>>27466933
The general layout of the art with all the random poses and shit is similar to that game Sycamore art. It's not how the anime artwork looks.
>Tfw my mind was preparing for this moment
>Weeks ago I suddenly un-waifu'd serena
T-T-Thank you
>>27466937
Perhaps the fat guy with orange hair.
>>27466907
Okay. Have this.
>>27466944
Where was it confirmed?
>>27466975
>>27466976
fair enough
i doubt ash being there has absolutely nothing to do with the anime though
>>27467040
>>27467114
Read the thread. Anime concept art and game concept art looks very different, and that's game concept art.
>>27467061
The age of Serena is over. The time of the Mallow has come.
So you need to fight 4 captains to qualify fighting 4 leaders. Isn't that just a roundabout way of retaining the gym challenge? Either that, or someone in the game production crew was a real fan of Orange Islands back when it aired.
>>27467055
yeah, i see that now. makes sense
it still looks a little different from sugimori's usual style but that could also be due to the low resolution of the picture
>>27467192
admittedly that's not confirmation so much as likely speculation
like i don't want to be a pedant but at the same time if ash shows up on an island with brown apron girl whoooops
>>27467179
Consider that even if they're final designs of the pokémon who knows when it was made, I don't think that was ever confirmed.
>>27467184
thats more like it
>>27466856
see
>>27466807
they're different type of use art altogether. The paul one is what you give the animators when they make the frames.
The prof one is what you use for the character designers who'd convert it to sprites or 3d.
>>27467213
Tbqh, it felt boring for a while. Just it being completely one sided
>>27467243
It's also because it's of a Pokemon instead of a human.
>>27467243
the original article is a super low quality thumbnail sketch i bet, it's not detailed enough to look like anyone's style
>>27467192
The page hadn't refreshed to that post when I wrote that, sorry.
>>27467217
It's gym leaders with more bureaucracy involved.
>>27467256
>like i don't want to be a pedant but at the same time if ash shows up on an island with brown apron girl whoooops
this seems likely to me even if it is game art. it's not like game freak and the creators of the anime don't know what each other are doing
>Hydro Vortex is the Water Z Move
>Z Moves have something to do with Zygarde and are activated by a gem in a bracelet
So Ash-Greninja is something else entirely? What the hell is the frog's transformation in-universe?
over for serena
>>27467404
I guess it depends, got to see when that thing was made even. As it's the anime has to bring stuff to the table that exists in the games somewhat, but not the other way around.
>>27467404
it's about as likely as it just being some concept artist with the current league on the brain working ash into a sketch for funsies
>>27467477
ash and frog getting much much stronger
>>27467312
Been that way since the first Miette episode. Serena never made a move. Not even a guarantee that she'll even confess at the end. Ash never showed any clear romantic interest either.
>yfw femaleShota wins da Ash
>>27467477
Requiring a bracelet already played against it.
>>27467477
It's probably the writers' way of giving him a 'mega' without using any of his mons back at Oaks.
>>27467597
god damn it now i like it
>>27467597
>anyone winning Ash ever
>>27463592

>shota was related to Mallow this whole time
>>27467478
>it's anotherTiernowins episode
>>27467478

>>27467591
It really got tired, it was the same from the start. I used to analyze deeply from Ash's side but nothing really made more sense
>>27467692
Shota is from Hoenn though.
>>27463592
Amazing, i must say i don't quite like her design but i don't give a fuck. Just erase Serena from the Anime and we are good
>>27467591
It doesn't matter now since Serena got over Ash after he tainted the perfect image she had of him in XY&Z28 and probably Serena will end with Clemont as she blushed when she complimented his cooking in XY&Z22 and made him blush in XY&Z31.Am I one of the cool kids now?
>>27467692
>Mallow is hismom
>>27465541
I hope we get back to a 3 man cell instead of 4. I don't remember how was Max but i suppose he was annoying and Bonnie is just one joke girl. No four member please

You guys know what is the best part of all this? Serena is finally leaving thats great but the good thing is that the new girl will be a Gym Leader. That means a girl that finally knows how to fight

no you're the retarded one anon, for thinking an anime character's likely level of sexual education has any bearing on whether the writers are gonna slap him and waifu together in the end
>>27468055
yeah i can't wait. i have good memories of gym leader misty, extremely talented battler, which is really the metric that all characters should be judged upon
>>27467061

Why is it so easy to spot shitposters nowadays?
So now that the dust has settled, are Lillie/Luna BTFO or do they still have a chance?

everyone loses
>>27468190
Yes, sadly. People are easy to move on.
>>27468247
They converted to Mallowfags, they never cared it's all about shitposting, you can see it on this thread.
>>27467478
>wearing an apron, good cook, loves battling and outdoors like Ash
That's a Serena crusher if I ever saw one
>>27468247
If the chicken doesnt join the cast, Ash has a higher chance of getting more than one starter on his team, which people here dont seem to like
>>27468247
F
>>27468190
She pretty much fell off after the hair cut. Art and doujin count even slowed as well.
The lack of beach episode and the halt of more costumes (like the fennikin outfit, not the dresses for her contests) may have added to this.
>>27468247
>are Lillie/Luna BTFO
The art in question isn't anime concept art, so no
>>27468247
>Lillie BTFO
>Luna/Chickenbitch BTFO

This thread needs some depressed Serena art (other depressed whores art also accepted, but I'm looking for a particular pic ofSerena crying on her bed after Ash leaves Kalos)

>>27468460
Are you even trying?
>>27468140
>no you're the retarded one anon
I'm not retarded, I'm totally serious. I'm sure the protagonist's knowledge of sex will be an important plot point in this children's cartoon.
>whether the writers are gonna slap him and waifu together in the end
they won't
>>27468247
Lillie may show up but as bianca or N did. I fear for chicken though. Last spot will probably go to a dude. On the other hand you can always delude yourself and repeat in you head that this is just game promo art until actual anime footage pops up.
>>27468466
Shhh... Why do you want to ruin Mallow getting the spotlight as the current shitposting fad?
>Will Serena win da Ash?
It sure looks that way.
FUCKING LOOOOOOOOL
BOOO HOOOO
>>27468564
stop trying to be sardonic anon, you're not even being coherent. the sex ed thing was your own dumb example
>>27468571
A dude is definitely getting a spot, but if the format is 4-man group again, chicken might still make the cut.
>>27468512
Only stating what happened.
>>27468666
Are you even trying?
>>27468655
>chicken
>make the cut
She's dead, Jim (well she never even existed to be honest)
>>27468666
Why do you even waste your time making these posts when every single person reading them knows your claims aren't true?
>>27468694
Only stating what happened.
>>27468571
>delude
why so derogatory
the whole no confirmation either way thing is exactly the same point people make to go against either ash winning or losing the league. speculation remains valid here too
>>27468603
what are you five
>>27468358
Don't Japanese love their green-haired waifus?
The real question is whether the writers are brave enough to have another shipping for Ash, and lead it to confirmation just after Amourshipping. Maybe Serena will come back and realize she's been friendzoned.
>>27468747
Probably this guy >>27468564 will tell you he won't win because "muh format not changing" or how any potentially romantic hint has no place even if it's there.
Chicken chan is ded guys but hey, we may get the boring male pc
>>27468747
It's all shitposting. We know it's game concept art that doesn't confirm anything about the anime.Notice the strange absence of shitposters calling "lunafags" or "lilliefags" btfo? It's because it's them shitposting about this in the first place, they just jumped over to something new to spam about.
>>27467576
well he's wearing a t-shirt, so it's either a generic representation of ash (not just the xy arc) or his new outfit based on the sun/moon male protagonist. hard to say really

>>27465541
Isn't that Ballio the cat is pressing on its back there? Why would official art show art from a confirmed fake leak?

>more of Orange Islands shenanigans
>Ash will get reduced to his BW-self
Hooray
>>27463390
>It sure looks that way
Hmm who would have thought? That shitposter Thrrad was right after all
>>27469095
where'd you get the second part from
why is everyone jumping to such different and extreme conclusions based on a thumbnail sketch
>>27468644
I was trying to point out that it was silly of you to think I literally meant he won't get a girlfriend because he doesn't know about sex. It was a joke based on the fact that he does not seem interested in a relationship whatsoever, and I can't remember him being romantically interested in anyone side from random characters of the day.
>>27468835
You've pretty much gotten it right. I doubt they will suddenly change the format now after all this time, and there have been several "romantic hints" in the past that have lead nowhere. But you never know!
>>27468980
I wish the shoes were actual shoes, still glad we can be sailor boys.
>>27468895
This.
>>27469086
Why would he wear his son's capris? He should get his own!
Who here will watch the next Season? I will even if Ash gets reset mainly because NO FUCKING SERENA ANYMORE HOORAYYYY
Fucking KEEEEEEEK
> How will Amourshipping end?
A. Serena doesn't confess. Ash gives a vague "I'll see you again someday" promise and leaves.
B. Serena 'confesses' but Ash doesn't understand. Serena hopes Ash will one day come to realize her feelings.
C. Serena confesses and Ash reciprocates. Contestshipping ending repeat.
D. Serena confesses, but Ash admits he sees her as one of his friends. Friendzone ending.
E. Serena goes with Ash to Alola.
F. New protagonist is Ash and Serena's kid.
>>27469140
>why is everyone jumping to such different and extreme conclusions based on a thumbnail sketch
It's shitposters. They're going all out now with everything they can think of
You know, maybe Korrina being with the group for a bit is the writers testing how the group dynamic would work if the members have guest stars for every arc. Each island hop could have a new Captain as companion, with Ash getting a small group of rotating members, kinda like an actual RPG.
>>27469095
>>Ash will get reduced to his BW-self
Why? There hasn't been any evidence for this.
post yfw 15 year old Ash traveling through Alola
/padt/, I've been out for 13 days. What have I missed?
>>27468895
I would've understood had it been during BW, but now with XY it's hard to believe that people are so butthurt that with every new tidbit of information about the SM games /padt/ got more infested with shitposting.
>>27469212

>>27469181
>NO FUCKING SERENA ANYMORE HOORAYYYY
I am glad as fuck, hopeless shipping ruined the latter part of XY. False hope is a weapon of mass destruction
>>27469236
The shitposters hate the anime in general and are just looking for random shit to spam about. It doesn't have anything to do with XY and SM in particular.
>>27469186
G. Bonnie wins the Ashbowl
>>27469181
If Ash is still the protagonist, regardless of anybody else, I'm not watching.
>>27469186
closest would be B, C or D but I can't see any of those three being Ash's response
he's not OS tier retarded anymore, C is highly unlikely. D is closest but I doubt Ash would be that dickish about it

Oh I think it is a valid and strong argument. It's just a bit fun seeing some anons being anal over this. We are getting more cuties. People should be celebrating and looking for lewds but faggots only scream btfo and shit. What went wrong? Who touched then?
>>27469299

They could feature the current cast, while giving cameos to upcoming Captains/Party members, kinda like Sentai or Rider does.

As long as Serena gets cucked, i win
>>27469628
You do know who are (or rather, is) the one(s) screaming btfo, right?
>>27466452
That has to be the reason why there might be no league in Alola. Gen VI was a massive power spike, but Gen VII takes it even further when starters can make nukes.
>>27469752
It isn't restricted to starters...
>>27469752
the clash between one of infernape's blaze-powered attacks and whatever electrivire used consumed the entirety of the inside of the stadium and it was fine, no one was hurt somehow

But what if she doesn't get cucked?
>>27469733
t. Tierno
>>27469432
It quite lost its luster...
It was already given that she had no real romantic rival and she still fails
>>27464485

>>27469312
>>27469432
your own fault for getting false hope over some huge plot development changing the formula of a show that's been the same for the past 20 years
it's better to expect the status quo and be surprised in the small chance they might actually do something different, rather than to get your hopes up for nothing
>>27469299
>S&M fucked our shit up
How?
>>27469366
Really? How boring anon
>>27469186
Not even inazuma 11 got a confession of sorts. For these kind of animu it's usually timeskip and then boom she is pregnant. I think the safest assumption for shippers is serena and ash making a promise and for the next region new girl doesn't show romantic interest on him. People probably gonna ship them but that's another story.
>>27469965
So Ash losing the league confirmed "muh formula"-kun?
>>27468367
Going by the world map, Alola doesn't seem to have gyms. The leak and the confirmation of trails means that there isn't going to be a league.
People hate Ash having multiple starters because it means that he might have an NFE team for the league. Since there might be no league, there isn't a reason to hate him having multiple starters. Now it's just the case of Ash getting cool looking mons rather than strong ones.
>>27470075
dunno, he might win the league but i don't think he'll be removed for a new protagonist or win the serena
>>27470255
B-but "muh formula", "muh Ash is Nobita". :(
is Peter John here?
>>27470431
ash is nobita, doesn't mean he can't win the league and go onto the next region though. his goal is "pokemon master" which is pretty vague
