Of all of Alan's pokemon, Unfezant is the only one to come from nowhere. Sneasel, Larvitar, and Pawniard are available in the area where the gang last met him, while Beldum could possibly be a gift from Steven.

Alan technically has a Kalos mon in Mega Charizard X. Unova gets two representatives since the writers want to beat BW extra hard.

Who's the asshole who keeps reposting the same stuff over and over again?

>>27544178
From Adamant:
>Platane told Satoshi that the Bond Phenomenon occurs very rarely when Trainer and Pokemon trust each other deeply, and that it's most likely related to the Pokemon's latent abilities, so Keromatsu choosing Satoshi may have been because it sensed those latent abilities it had and was drawn to someone that could help it draw them out.

So, when trainers usually choose their starters, Ash was the one who got chosen. Heh.

So Ash tells his team that he wants to win because it is their dream? While Alan tells Charizard alone that he doesn't even want to win, just that he wants to have fun with Ash while battling again as well as gather Mega Energy from battle?

Is Alan even aware that the Charizard is the only mega in the upcoming battle? Wouldn't it mean he is expecting Charizard X to lose because that is the only way for him to gather mega energy? Or Pokemon mega evolving and battling alone is enough for him to gather mega energy, and that every time his key stone gathers energy it also gathers from his charizard and opponent's mega?

>>27544580
From what we've seen, all it takes for mega energy to be absorbed if for a mega Pokémon to revert back to its normal form. That can happen both by fainting and by the battle ending with it still standing.

Why shouldn't be biased? Ash brings excitement to the league with his unusual tactics, quick and powerful mons, mysterious Greninja, happy personality, and sportsmanship, Alan on the other hand, though powerful, looks like he doesn't even want to be in the league, and leaves immediately after a battle.

I only just noticed that Greninja's last Water Shuriken from the Shota battle played uncut at the beginning of this episode. In the actual battle you had Shota's desperate face in between shots.

I'm glad for that but then the pacing gets all weird.
>Pikachu vs Tyranitar - Pikachu recalled
>Noivern vs Tyranitar - Noivern wins and gets recalled
>Pikachu vs Weavile - Pikachu recalled
and then either
>Hawlucha vs Weavile - Hawlucha wins
>Hawlucha vs Bisharp - Bisharp wins
>Noivern vs Bisharp - Bisharp wins and is recalled
>Talonflame vs Unfezant
or
>Hawlucha vs Weavile - double K.O.
>Noivern vs Bisharp - Bisharp wins and is recalled
>Talonflame vs Unfezant
Not even considering the possibility of Hawlucha jobbing to Weavile and Noivern getting two wins.

Can Alola retain the same quality of XY&Z or have we just witnessed the pinnacle of the series? If Alola becomes BW 2.0, I'll be incredibly disappointed.
>>
>>27544744
I think Cyrus was only interested in the fact that they had met the legendary Pokemon, and not necessarily in Ash and Dawn themselves. Whereas Lysandre genuinely seems interested in Ash's ability as a trainer and Greninja's power.
>>
>>27544688
We talk about girls, no Islamic Bacha Bazi here

>>27544782
We already know Noivern is sent out after Pikachu, not Hawlucha
>>
>>27544782
Yeah, that's also plausible. I just went with the more obvious matchups since Noivern would be at a disadvantage against Weavile.
>>
>>27544652
That's impossible considering all the other Pokéballs on both teams on the scoreboard remain veiled when Pikachu fights Tyranitar.
>>
>>27544806
No we don't. Or do we? The scoreboard shows that the order of Ash's fallen mons will be Hawlucha -> Noivern, but there's no way to tell who gets sent out first.

You misunderstood him, he meant that Pikachu goes first against Tyranitar but is then recalled, which is an absolute certainty.

Why would Ash recall Pikachu two times straight?
Because depending on when does Bisharp enters the field, then it would be:

Also, are we even sure that Pikachu and Weavile entering the field are part of the same sequence?

It doesn't look like it's spliced in a weird way, but yeah, theorethically it's possible that the scene with Pikachu entering the rock field is at the start of the battle with Tyranitar instead.

As much hype as I am for Alan vs Ash I'm wondering why Ash's mom and other companions aren't shown rooting him on. I mean I guess its not that important but this is the first time he's gone to the finals, they should've at least had his mom and Oak fly to Kalos to see it. It would be nice to see all his companions watching.

When the League arc came around I completely lost interrest in the XY series. The way they handled the League is just plain awful (despite looking amazing), even the Black and White series did it better (and that one got almost everything wrong). After just one episode he's in the top four (which by the way is the same finish as he got in the Diamond and Pearl series which was his best finish yet) and there's no rival worth a damn.

I was pretty hyped for the league arc, but it is a huge disappointment.

Ash opens with Pikachu and Alan with Tyranitar. The way the scoreboard works is thus: the first Pokémon to fall is on the right for the bottom participant and the left for the top one, then as more Pokémon fall, they slide to the left/right respectively. The active but recalled Pokémon are instead placed next to the one currently on the field in the big picture. Therefore Ash's first Pokémon to fall is Noivern while the second is Hawlucha; for Alan it's Tyranitar first and Weavile second.

Going off of this, if Pikachu defeats Tyranitar, then the second ones out have to be Noivern and Bisharp (Pikachu is recalled), with Bisharp winning. Then it goes on to Pikachu vs Weavile (Bisharp is recalled), Pikachu gets switched for Hawlucha and Hawlucha wins, then he is defeated by Unfezant or Bisharp.

Alternatively, Pikachu is recalled against Tyranitar and Noivern defeats it, then Noivern goes down against Bisharp, Bisharp is recalled and it goes on with Pikachu vs Weavile. I think this is more likely.

Ash battling his way through the league isn't meaningful? Are you seriously retarded?

We skipped battles in favor of long winded exposition during other battles. If the show was paced better they could have fit more battling, instead of just skipping right to the quarters.
>>
>>27545908
I think Pikachu is recalled VS Tyranitar. Noivern is sent out, then draws with Tyranitar. Then a fresh Weavile and then Pikachu are called out, just like the sponsor segment at the end shows. Pikachu is recalled again for whatever reason. Hawlucha then fights Weavile.

That's because the league is actually telling a story now unlike just battles until you fight your rival.

Yeah, that would build up his power level, give his Pokemon more screentime, and drive home his progress since previous leagues, on top of giving us some cool battle scenes.

The skip straight into quarters is jarring and makes you feel like you missed the action. The second episode starts with Malva TELLING us about these "fierce fights" in the first half instead of SHOWING them. Might as well just be a black screen with text on it describing the plot.

>>27546017

No shit it's telling a story. Ash battling is part of that story. It's 95% of that story. Except over half of his battles are skipped altogether.

I love how you go from "all XY fights are meaningful" to "they're only meaningful if he made a pact." All battles have some meaning, especially in showing how he progressed through his ultimate challenge. All it needed was a couple of minutes instead of outright skipping it.

I fucking explained it. It's Ash progressing through his ultimate league challenge, showing us his Pokemon's struggles and feats in getting him to the top. Ash doesn't need to personally know them for them to have meaning, they have inherent meaning as league challenges.

>All the battles shown in XY are meaningful, therefore the ones skipped aren't

Stop sucking XY's dick anytime. What fucking "meaning" did Ash vs Premiere have? Or Ash vs Scizor guy? Or virtually all TR battles? On top of that, shown battles having meaning doesn't preclude unshown battles from having it, that makes no goddamn sense.

Him one-shotting Tomo with only his frog, and defeating M-Absol with Hawlucha already hammer that point down.

Greninja and Pikachu already have enough screentime already, Talonflame and Hawlucha have had their moments before, and Goodra wasn't even in the team yet. Only Noivern could have benefitted from that, and I agree on that only.
>drive home his progress since previous leagues
Why?
>on top of giving us some cool battle scenes
I guess one-hit KOs are fun to watch, but only once every while.

Don't tell me you unironically enjoy watching Barça or Bayern winning 7-0 against literallywho teams on their leagues, too.
>>
>>27546268
I wrote that before noticing that it's Noivern that's being taken out first rather than Hawlucha. If it was Hawlucha, then there'd be no way Pikachu defeats Tyranitar since he wouldn't have to be sent into the battlefield again against Alan's second Pokémon (whom I initially thought to be Weavile). Since Noivern's going down first, it's possible that Pikachu defeats Tyranitar and the second matchup is Noivern vs Bisharp, which Bisharp wins. I just hope Pikachu gets recalled due to Sandstream so that Noivern can use echolocation to get around it and pull off a win.
>>
>>27546264
>showing us his Pokemon's struggles and feats in getting him to the top

except the implications are that they never struggled, the league wasn't giving him challenge until Shota

>What fucking "meaning" did Ash vs Premiere have?

It was Ash's first experience with Fairy types, it showed more of Froakie's personality, and it had a cute moment with Serena. Basically all around character development.

>Or Ash vs Scizor guy?

You mean the battle that was skipped to the end and is treated like a cold opening like your precious Ayaka?

This is what I'm thinking will happen.

Pikachu vs Tyranitar, Pikachu is recalled
Noivern vs Tyranitar, Noivern wins
Noivern vs Bisharp, Bisharp wins and is recalled
Pikachu vs Weavile (like the sponsor segment at end of preview shows), Pikachu is recalled
Hawlucha vs Weavile....

Fluff, not meaning. You could make the same point for league battle fluff.

It showed more of the battle than Ayaka. But Ayaka isn't even my point, my point is outright skipping all the others.

>these battles aren't battles because that would contradict my argument
Okay faggot.

Again, league battles have inherent meaning, just like gym battles. I don't expect full episodes for them for pacing purposes, but they need to visually acknowledge them at least, and if they skipped some of their rambling exposition instead they could have easily fit it in. You're in no position to talk about pacing if you can't appreciate this.

What the fuck are you talking about? The context is league episodes being skipped, "show don't tell" is directly relevant. Stop just using words you don't understand. And it's not about my writing skills, it's about the entertainment I get from the show.

>they all happened at the same time in the same episode
They were all irrelevant except for showing Froakie's personality, which any battle can accomplish if done correctly. You're concluding that the battles would not provide any character value, hype or entertainment, because that's the only way your argument works. Meanwhile, Hawlucha vs Ayaka already provided character building just by showing us Hawlucha's power level. They have value, stop defending every decision made by the show.

Serena did have fights, what are you talking about?

Does anyone still think Lysandre is going to interrupt the league? I would say this episode made it pretty clear that he won't.

>>27546374
>>27546396

So:

Pikachu vs Tyranitar, Pikachu is recalled due to Sandstream, like one of the summaries mentioned was a problem
Noivern vs Tyranitar, Noivern wins
Noivern vs Bisharp, Bisharp wins and is recalled (like the scoreboard shows)
Pikachu vs Weavile (like the sponsor segment at end of preview shows), Pikachu is recalled
Hawlucha vs Weavile, Hawlucha wins
Hawlucha vs Unfezant, Unfezant wins
Talonflame vs Unfezant...

WE FINALLY SOLVED THE MATCHUP RIDDLE!

It's been said before, Lysandre apparently tries to pull the same shit he did with Alain, as in there are people out there that uses Mega Evolution energy for bad things, and tells Ash to meet with him after the league.

>>27546676
Assuming we're not being rused with the sponsor segment, this is how I see things going too.

>>27546733
Oh. And was Malva just reminding him about the Mega Evolution energy? Also at the end, was Lysandre telling Manon that Hari-san was almost better?

This is the best proof. He certainly can't stand on top of Prism Tower while the match is happening. He is currently watching the match at the stadium.

>>27546629
simply stating show don't tell shows lack of knowledge on why that statement is made of

show don't tell only works if the ones you missed showing are meaningful or have any impact

you know what else is a writing guideline? subtlety - you don't need to show everything in your audience's face treating them like dumbasses

>They were all irrelevant
Except they all add to Ash's first experiences to Kalos. What the fuck are you going on? The fact that you even choose to ignore the context of the episode like its placing early on (meaning Ash has no idea about fairy types) shows how you cherry pick arguments without even realizing what you're doing.

And yes, the Ayaka fight showed us that. And it did that without the need to showcase most of the fight, because that's how far Ash has gone. Thanks for agreeing with my stand. :^)

>Serena did have fights, what are you talking about?

Serena had fights which are unfinished. The only fight she had completed was at the camp.

They wouldn't have time for every matchup up to Greninja vs Zard in just the next episode, plus Yuji Ueda plain isn't in the voice cast meaning Goodra and Greninja (although he'd first be credited as Wobbuffet, but it seems he won't get speaking lines either) aren't in the episode. The first matchup after the battlefield switch has to be Metagross vs Pikachu. Maybe (in episode 38) Pikachu wins, Charizard defeats Pikachu and is recalled, Goodra defeats Bisharp and is defeated by Charizard, and then it goes on to Greninja vs Charizard.

>>27546803
Fair enough. Or Metagross too. I somehow remember hearing somewhere that Metagross was Alan's first pick but I guess not.
>>
>>27546471
He has his own VIP area and can get easy access to the league and the league's higher-ups. He has to be involved somehow, anon.
>>
>>27546824
But the problem with your order is that we've seen up to Pikachu vs Charizard on the grass battlefield in the preview for the next episode and we know Goodra isn't in it, so it's impossible for any Goodra matchups to come before that one.

>the fights are unfinished therefore they don't count as fights and have no value
You seem to have a lot of arbitrary criteria for what constitutes "fights." I guess that's the only way your argument works.

You agreed with me that Ayaka had value, when it very well could have been skipped altogether by your logic, so you basically just proved me right. The fights would have value if done correctly and they wouldn't need to last very long.
>b-but they would just be Ash's mons OHKOing things
Says who? Maybe it would have Talonflame fireballing through the air and smashing through rocks, Noivern deftly dodging a barrage of moves to show its flying skills, Hawlucha beating a Conkeldurr and Machamp, Greninja running on water or doing the invisible run, Pikachu beating a Magmortar as a callback to both Blaine's Magmar and Paul's Electivire. I'm just spitballing here, but all of those things would have value for the characters, and most importantly wouldn't outright skip the league battles.
I'm sorry you'd rather see pointless exposition than action, in a fucking action show. Do you also just watch Olympic commentary then change the channel when the athletes are on?
>>
>>27546983
This doesn't mean shit actually. His Charizard is powerful enough to rip through at least 3 of Ash's Pokemon, and unlikely to fall before the inevitable confrontation with Greninja.

It means the opposite scenario of Alan going through Ash's team without revealing his last two Pokémon happened, which was my point. It really does look like Charizard will have to clean up at least a little towards the end. I was thinking Ash would get down to one Pokémon first, but it's looking likely that Metagross/Bisharp might fall before Pikachu/Goodra.

>he seriously thinks Ash's mons have to "struggle" in those lesser fights

if Ash struggles early on it weakens the fights later on, it's why the end fight towards Shota was great - it shows that even Shota in the end is no match for him, clearly setting him up towards Alain being his end goal for the league

I found the commercial last seconds of the preview strange. That Pikachu vs Weavile looks like two different summons. Also, it looks like the beginning of the match.

It can't, otherwise we'd see Weavile as recalled on the scoreboard here. Pikachu and Tyranitar are the first ones sent out.

Still gotta keep in mind Metang actually knocked the Bat out. His Pokemon might be stronger than you guys think.

But it's obvious there's a powergap between the other Pokemon and his ace. The fucker pretty much BTFO'ed Korrina's Mega-Lucario.

You're making a whole lot of assumptions to suit your argument here. I would rather watch even "pointless" fights, by your arbitrary definition, than a bunch of insipid explanations that take way too much screen time.

Any fight is a struggle. Even Greninja's sweep against Tomo had him staggered from the Dragon Pulse, then forced to synchro to avoid the meteor. If anything it gives MORE meaning to the fights because it shows Ash prevailing despite the challenge and makes Shota a worthier opponent, thus the victory against him even more impressive.

>you're a nostalgiafag

You keep bringing up "exposition" when nothing of that happens. Again, you complain as though battles weren't shown, but were there. But rather than wasting time with lower echelons, we actually see the rivals fight other folks.

>he complains about monologuing which are essentially two seconds at worst

I didn't consider them because only a retard will complain about them.

Thanks for showing what your real intentions are anyway.

It's a small lead.
>Talonflame beats Unfezant, 3-2
>Metagross beats Talonflame, 3-3

Though, I wonder who will defeat Bisharp.

>Since none of them were even implied to be remotely exciting or challenging

Oh yeah, nothing at all.
>>
>>27547570
and they were, see Shota and Alain
>>
>>27547549
>essentially two seconds at worst

Confirmed for seeing what you want to see. The fights were poorly paced, and could have been faster and more exciting so you could fit more of them. It's like you don't even watch anime.
>>

>only Shota and Alain would be exciting
>these fights are exciting therefore the others wouldn't be, and would have no value

Christ, how many times are you going to make this fallacious argument?
>>
>>27547607
the burden of proof is yours anon

I watched the shota fight and they didn't have that problem at all in the fight
>>
>>27547518
Is this your first time watching battle anime? A monologue during a fight is such a common occurrence that it's practically required in every battle show. It's the main reason why the protagonist always has a peanut gallery following him.
>>
>>27547617
considering how much power they've shown, yes

are ayakafags this cancerous?
>>
>>27547570
Then let me rephrase. None of Ash's fights were implied to be remotely exciting or challenging at all.
>>
>>27547620

There wasn't anything wrong with Shota vs Ash. The problem was Shota vs Tierno where they spent too much time rambling about mechanics that could have been much more quickly explained, even AS the action was happening. For example AS Hydro Pump is hitting Aegislash, someone exclaims about Swift Swim. If that fight was reduced, the episode could have fit a short montage of Ash progressing. That's all I'm asking for.
>>
>>27547660
except you'd only get, what, two seconds free?

if anything the most of the fight that took up time was Tierno himself
>>
>>27547643
>considering how much power they've shown

We don't know how much power they've shown because nothing was shown at all. It was skipped.

>>27547621
I didn't say remove the monologue altogether, I said pace it better and have some happening DURING the battling. Other anime executes this correctly so they can show more action.
>>
>>27547679
>except you'd only get, what, two seconds free?
Nice exaggeration. It took up more than that and you know it.

>if anything the most of the fight that took up time was Tierno himself
Yes, that could also be reduced. The whole fight was drawn out in a way that didn't add to it at all.
>>
The music score in this episode was perfect
>>
>>27547689
except we did, we saw their fight with lessers like Tierno and Trevor

>>27547703
So the problem isn't the monologuing since it barely removes anything, but shit like Tierno spazzing out.
>>
>>27546970
Stay bitter, Ayaka.
>>
>>27547658

Nothing was implied about them. They didn't say "wow Satoshi you sure breezed through those fights," they just didn't acknowledge them at all. It's a cop-out too, like saying "Oh you didn't want to go to the amusement park, it wouldn't have been fun anyway. I know this because I didn't bother going."
>>
>>27547717

They are both problems. They're non-action that takes up too much time, and adds nothing to the fight by being drawn out.
>>
>>27547760
Yes they did. He beat up a Mega Absol without his Hawlucha taking a single scratch. The same Mega Absol that was shown on the newscast as one of the stars of the League. And Ash took it out without a single scratch.
>>
>>27547779
they monologue as the action happen or during short pauses

Tierno however is shit, they should have swapped Trevor and Tierno
>>
>>27547802
>without his Hawlucha taking a single scratch

We don't actually know that because we didn't see the rest of the fight. At any rate, the fact that they showed the fight, and that it contributed to character building for Hawlucha, only proves my point. The others should not have been outright skipped.

>>27547804
No, everything was paused while they were monologuing or explaining shit. Both aspects could have been paced better.
>>
>>27547833
What character building? We see Hawlucha launch an attack and just pose there, undamaged, after Absol falls. We see what we were meant to see: Ash is unstoppable, and the regular league trainers are worthless to him now.
>>
>>27547895
>Ash is unstoppable

I thought I'd never see the day
>>
>>27548016
>Ash is unstoppable
Yeah i can't feel hype for a possible Ash Vs Diantha because she is a joke of a Champion. Ash could destroy her whole team with just Greninja. If only Cynthia was here
