Palpitoad is fucking awesome. The way it opens its mouth huge when doing an attack, and the way it spits out its tongue all around. Why couldn't this be Ash's main water pokemon in Unova instead of Oshawott?

THIS is what you guys cry so hard over? It's a fucking average gym battle. You're telling me you've never been careless and forgot a matchup? Yeah the anime overdoes it, but if this is the worst BW has to offer than I'm disappointed at how not unimpressed I am

Since the goal of Sun and Moon is to set up a league in Alola, it'd make sense for Ash to win the Kalos league. The officials at Alola wouldn't exactly ask for the expertise of a guy who came second, would they?

They should use shota as the MC for allola islands. He's young, got the drive, and actually has a nice personality.
>>
>>27775172
But does he have a Pikachu?
>>
>>27775140
As it's he got too many Pokémon in BW in addition to a bunch of evolution, for one, both Unfezant and Leavanny evolved twice, Krookodile(though he met it as Sandile), Boldore and Pigmite evolved once, Snivy, Oshawott, Scraggy and Palpitoad didn't evolve even though they could've had evolved. I think it didn't play to their favor.

Come now. In the beginning she had no clue what to do until finding out what she wanted. She tried, failed, and cried. Didn't take forever to get over it and improved her self and got better and better.

These two had more. Serena's development was very slow paced especially in the first year, and even after that most of her goal was pretty rushed through. Its really her consistent crush on Ash that kept her interesting.

>>
>>27775421
Well, I measure Serena's development by the contrast between the current Serena and the former Serena.

From a girl that tagged along with her crush without a dream, to a girl that literally challenged the Queen, and I liked how even when she was determined to do better after cutting her hair she still had problems, and she became better after meeting Elle herself and introduce the theme of what it means to be a performer. Her development there was a gradual and culminated in her winning her first tripokalon.

I find it funny that even when she challenged Elle, she still didn't get what it meant what it means to be a performer: to give smiles to everyone and to be relied on and not just receive them, until Yashio told her. Her development continues after her failure where she determines to be the one who gives advices, to be relied on, and give smiles, and is shown in the Snowbelle Arc during Ash's depression.

Yes, she's the best.

Her slow development, starting from literally nothing, not even a dream, did wonders for her. When she shines, it's heartfelt, touching and well earned. She had to fight just to even BEGIN her dream, and now she's dazzling stadiums and proving herself alongside her Pokemon like Ash does with battles. Her love for Pokemon is very endearing, like with the lone Rhyhorn in that first round, or when she had the strength to fill Eevee with courage after royally fucking up. A complete 180 from when she dropped in front of everyone and cradled Fokko.

Her development and Ash are intertwined. They save each other out of their darkest moments. I think its better that way, because it would have felt odd for her to go from no dream to achieving it so quickly. I'd rather we get deeper looks at her character, determination and personality through moments with Ash.

She also never gets on your ass at unnecessary moments and is an overall fun and positive companion. Not just with Ash, but with everyone to almost insane extents. She usually tries to help or offer positive reinforcement anytime she can.

So the best thing really is that there's not any huge cons with her. I suppose that's part of the reason many don't like her. She's too good for this world
>>
>>27775598
True, but you can say the same for May.

May started off as a girl who didn't even like pokemon and wanted nothing more to travel. She not only goes from that to the Top 8 in Hoenn and then the Top 4 in Kanto, but her character becomes a lot more serious and tough as AG progresses. Her interactions with Drew and Harley largely change as well.

And then her development continues further because at the end of AG she realizes she has to find her own style as a coordinator and not battle like Ash, and this continues off-screen and into DP.
>>
Who's worse? Ash's Oshawott or Clemont's Chespin?

I suppose Dawn's development was to get out of her own mother's shadow? She did also copied Ash's style as well ala Counter Shield.

I guess all these three girls borrow from Ash to an extent, but Serena's in a more "emotional one" unless of course one believes the "Pancham uses Stone Edge so Braixen can climb on top of them" is actually a strategy she learned from Ash using Rock Tomb Tomb.

why?

>>27775804
very true. Jessie's performance was great, and there was generally something entertaining/amusing going on outside of the development.
>>
>>27775789
Dawn was also very overconfident at the start. She probably expected quick success in Contests like her mother, which is why her early losses and depression streak really surprised her.

After that she basically just listened to her lesbian mentor Zoey and had a grudge against Ursula and just came up with new contest appeals till DP ended.

+ isn't a battler so could have be used to show side activities in Alola
+ Alola native (?)
- her ingame plot might mean this is unfeasible
- not a battler so won't be helpful against TR

3 - Serena
+ crush on Ash
+ cooks
+ small team might be leaving door open for her to catch Alola mons instead
+/- no confirmation of contests in Alola
- companions rarely travel to new regions
- not an Alolan native

4 - Bonnie
+ has Squishy, and we know Zygarde has an important role in Alola
- Zygarde's plot seems to be coming to a close
- unlikely to go to Alola without Clemont

5 - "Luna"
+ is a female protagonist which increases her chances
- not present in the games unlike other femMC's like May/Dawn/Serena so no pre-existing character

>Clemont receives strength from Ash since the start of the journey, doing brave shit like getting bitten by Luxio etc. It culminates with their promised battle where Clemont finally fulfill his promise to Ash and gives him a worthy gym battle
>Shota's entire character is pretty much taking all that he could from Ash and desiring to surpass him and literally says to that he wants to "receive everything from him"
-Alan is about trying to be strong for his own, to give strength for Manon, Hari-san, and Sycamore. In his battles with Ash he learns he actually enjoy from battle, Ash is actually giving him something that he didn't even think that he wanted. Obviously, Ash will more likely teach him in the finals even implicitly what battling truly means/or what strength truly means
>And finally Ash and Greninja represents the balance between the two, they give and take, they need to battle together to win. Indeed, even Clemont points out how if Ash and his pokemon are together they'll just get stronger and stronger.

I'm sure Korrina's storyline can fit in there somewhere.

All that talk about May, Dawn and Serena illustrate why Misty and Iris are the worst companions.

They both have a set goal in mind right at the start, to become masters of a single type of Pokemon. However, neither of them actually do anything with this. Misty at least mostly sticks to water Pokemon aside from Togepi, but Iris ended up with more non-Dragon types than Dragons on her team.

Both characters are basically just there, and spend most of that time shitting on Ash while not being that great as trainers themselves. Misty only really starts changing once Togepi enters the picture while Iris is, well, Iris.

Well the anime was originally planned to end with Kanto. At the time Misty for a 80-episode or so companion worked well. Then in Orange Islands they tried to make Misty a love interest all saga.

Once Johto rolled along Misty had nothing to do outside of the ocassional water pokemon filler they gave her, so her character suffered.

This idea that development or having a clear goal = best character is pretty retarded. People liked Misty because she was fun. May was boring as hell, and Dawn was a better character but not really all that fun most of the time. And I hate Misty, and generally despise tsundere-like traits, but having a goal you put effort towards doesn't mean I as a viewer should care or am invested.

Didn't watch Iris and Serena is fun again usually just because she is easy to rile up with amour, but she is largely just like Dawn.

Misty started having problems a bit after the S.S. Anne and when she got Togepi. They also didn't really pull much with the love interest during Orange Islands, like five or so episodes out of 30+, then Misty pretty much didn't do much until Whirl Cup, and even that didn't cut it.

I definitely never saw May as funny. Just more balanced, which contributed to the yawn factor imo. That's largely because nothing quite has the same pilot-like carefree charm and animation quirks that Misty rode off of. Pokemon generally isn't that funny afterwards.

To each their own I suppose. I thought May had some of the funniest character quirks of the series, mainly because she was silly/clumsy but could also explode to anger at the drop of a hat.

Granted you have to watch the big May-centric episodes to see this. If you just see the generic Hoenn filler eps where May doesn't really do anything but stand in the background you won't notice it. But in all the May-centric eps she shined

This. Kanto Misty was bretty good to me honestly, and Orange Islands was okay, but throughout the span of Johto, you could see Misty just becoming nothing but a husk of what's supposed to be a loud-mouth Water type master.

As a kid, Togepi is THE moment where Misty was fucking dead to me. I felt so betrayed. So fucking viciously angry. I never forgave her for fucking shoving her goddamn face in and stealing what was rightfully Ash's. I don't even know if I'm remebering it right, but that's how I took it as a kid and I forever hated her afterwards. She came back and I literally didn't give a shit. Looking back, I find it odd how a kid could hate something that much after generally shipping her with Ash the whole time. I enjoyed all her cute moments before that, even if she was a cunt, but I could never get over that episode.

May had plenty of fun moments in early AG too, most of the screens in this shot are from the early episodes.

Also even before May got into Contests she still got things to do. She tried to capture an Azurill, battled that kid with the Mudkip, she and Jessie had rivalries over their Wurmples, then she butted heads with Ash or Max, then she met Drew, etc.

I'll definitely give you that then. Misty came across as more "fun" in all the episodes overall. There was always an entertaining scene somewhere across all the fillers.

Anyone else think the super-duper orange destructo dics will be an insentive for Ash to take Greninja with him to Alola?

Considering the Professorts all seem to be aware of each other and stay in contact in a sense, Sycamore could refer Ash to Kukui in Alola as he's an expert on Pokemon moves.

That's because the writing style in Kanto was more comical and slapstick then all the other sagas. Orange/Johto Misty wasn't really any different than later companions.

Well, there was small BW reference in Eureka ep.
>>
>>27776443
Considering there's no gyms in Alola, Ash doesn't necessarily have to catch Pokemon and build a team to take on the gyms and the league like he has done each time so far, so taking Greninja with him seems appropriate when it's all trials now.

The change in the animes writing style happens by Orange Islands or early Johto at the earliest. By the time Hoenn even starts there had been 3 seasons of Johto of repetitive routine.

So what exactly do you want out of a character then? You seem to not be overly interested in any of the female companions, just certain points here and there. They all have certain character quirks that makes them endearing and also have the usual temper/sad/excited moments as well.

I'm just curious since you say you don't care for Misty, but also not for May/Dawn and only like Serena for Amour moments.
>>
>>27776392
It will pique his interest, and he'll just learn about z-moves or whatever in Alola.

Let's be honest. Ash-Greninja is just too good for half the battles normally has in a first half of a new gen. He wouldn't be able to call him out ever against trainer of the day no. 12, showing off the latest alola pokemon. Then it's just like what's the point even

Entertainment. That's why I feel none of them have been done all that well, because when I think entertaining the main things that come to mind is Misty butting heads with Ash and Serena freaking out because of Ash. Even if you don't like amour, how can Serena in Ash's clothes not be a hilarious ride? I just want to have fun, and I've already concurred that it's very possible that I missed out on a lot of fun due to the style change and the fact that "May didn't shine as much in the fillers"

Literally all the girls have moments like this. Most of May's were during her interactions with Drew and Harley. I think you're overlooking the fact that since May had her own arc, many of her big moments are during her episodes...not during the Ash-centric episodes or the regular fillers that didn't focus on anyone. Although May still has some funny moments here and there as well as her, "May's expeditions" thing where she pretends she's a reporter.

XYZ044 will be about Greninja and it is probably post flare episode.
Maybe foreshadowing about his fate or something?
>>
>>27776567
Nah.
>>
>>27776659
Several things can happen in XYX044 that will decide Greninja's fate.

>Greninja breaks the limits and Sycamore see's this, asking him to stay (Unlikely)
>Ash and Greninja loses the power to transform altogether (Possible)
>They keep the power and Greninja get's oaked (Most likely)
>He comes with Ash to Alola for various plot-related points around Bond Phenomenon (Unlikely)
>>
>>27776662

Yes
>>
>>27776689
XYZ, my mistake.
>>
>>27776689
I seriously doubt that they'll push it more just to get Oaked and losing it makes less sense.
>>
Greninja will be Oak'd eventually. Its the same reason Charizard couldn't stay for all of Johto.
>>
>>27776699
No, because Pokemon can obviously still continue afterwards.
>>
>MFW I just finished watching Shota vs Satoshi
>>
>>27776706
Charizard wasn't Oak'd exactly.
Maybe Greninja also will "train" somewhere.
>>
>>27776704
That's why it seems possible for it to be expanded upon in S/M considering there's no league.

>>27776706
This is the most likely scenario, but I feel like Ash will have Greninja transform back at Oak's lab and he'll want to take him to Alola or something. Besides, as I said above, there's no league for Ash to take part in, so having a super special strong Pokemon off the bat doesn't feel as bad as it would if there was a league.
>>
>>27776706
Charizard couldn't stay because Ash needed to show off all three starters and there's no reason to give Ash all three for Alola if at all. Then there's the fact that there isn't a league in Alola.
>>
>>27776226
the few scenes where she's dressed as fokko trigger me. Just about the only serena moment I dislike. Although her crazy happy face after Ash remembers her kinda raises an eyebrow, but it was right after retelling the camp story, so it's a pass
>>
Well then.
>Only wins because Satoshi randomly can't access that power and is distracted by it

>>27776623
Rather upsetting.
Well, at least he hasn't been as shafted as Talonflame has been lately.
>>
>>27776689
The big orange shuriken will drain all his energy and will make Greninja unable to Kizuna Gensho again. Then he can be Oak'ed
>>
>>27776714

After Ash become a master everyone in the world will finally be allowed to age,once that happens he will grow some balls get a girl and have some kids, and it wont be with Serena because she is a shit.
>>
>>27776736
That's what bothered me about that win but it's because Ash wanted to win for the wrong reasons.
>>
>>27776739
I highly doubt it considering we still have the entire team flare arc to go through. Ash and Greninja's power has been said to be a key part of the Zygarde plot by Olympia. Considering it doesn't use Mega Evolution energy, it'll be needed there. If it does happen, it'll be after that's concluded.

It peaks for me right at this moment. Ash voice already speaking to Shota as the double team is happening, before we cut to him and we see just the complete fucking confidence. It blows me away every fucking time. The dynamic camera shooting up to his face--up in his eye--and his fucking movements just seal the deal. He is so powerful in that moment and he fucking knows it.

The fact that what I'm seeing is the same Ash from my childhood. I just can't handle it. It is simply too much, and the peak of the hype is maintained as we hear Sceptile fucking screaming at the top of his lungs and giving it his all before getting knocked the fuck out.

I get chills when I hear the victory announcement as we cut to the scoreboard.

It's an absolute masterpiece of an episode.

That was my favorite part of the old opening so I lost my shit when I realized they were calling back to it the first time.

After watching the episode a fuckload of times I can safely skip to Ash's part (just so the transition into Ash-Greninja isn't ruined) and be fine, but I'm so glad Shota got the proper sendoff he deserves.

I love imaging what goes on through all the characters heads as it goes down. Some of the lesser trainers in the stadium have to be losing their fucking minds, and Serena must be a complete roller coaster.

You paid no attention, catch up-kun, Ash has been feeling insecure since he learned of Shota's badges.
>>
>>27776997
I have the same concern. The bar has been raised so high for me. It was achieved because of his supreme confidence, but Diantha comes close because of the bloodlust.

Because I don't see that same level of confidence in the previews, nor do I think it would apply as well as it did with Shota anyway, so my only hope is that he is pushed to absurd limits and has to use every ounce of his strength to make one bombastic hype moment happen. I could definitely see it happening, but I'm going to lower my expectations just a little bit when it comes to the actual execution. Especially if the orange shuriken really IS the finisher move.

If he actually wins I won't remotely care because of the celebrating, until probably a week afterwards when I'm rewatching it frame by frame and I've gotten the happiness out of my system

I feel you're underselling the orange shuriken.

>they save Iris for the final few episodes of XY
I would kill myself. I'd be so fucking disappointed that she gets episodes instead of focusing on the core group before they part ways.

>>27777339
Neither did Anabel for that matter.

they could be pulled off better though. Even in this shot, which is one of his most badass, it soils the outfit. Have it be slightly baggier at the bottom, roll the pants up above it--I don't know. But it needs tweaking.

How the fuck does that even correlate to the Pikachu not getting it argument?

Anabel saw Ash bonding with his Pokemon and shit.

Calem looked like such a gaylord. One of the most faggy males. Ash did it so much better.

That isn't really supernatural.

Why is Serena so worried? is for Satoshi?

>>27777360
Ash needs to stand on top of the Lumiose Tower once more, but this time with Greninja.
>>
>>27777356
I'd be alright with an episode of Iris stumbling around feeling like she's taken a flight into some crazy alternate dimension where Ash is the hero king of france instead of a dumbfuck

>>27777375
Yeah that's not supernatural though, that's just Ash being a good trainer.
>>
>>27777316
lookin' solid here senpai

>>27777376
I would have been alright with him if you could ditch the extra hat accessory and messenger bag. And maybe if there were more haircuts, I dunno. It's hard to give a customizable player avatar shit.

>Alan on the side
>Clemont behind Bonnie
>everyone behind Serena
She's playing key role, isn't she?

Probably for the whole situation. She'll have reasons to worry about Ash once they capture him.

What was the occasion for this? It's official art, right? Was he intentionally trying to make him look like Red?

Ash needs to Become Greninja and scale the tower in less than a minute

Post yfw Pikachu doesn't go down until a solid five minutes into the episode and he deals at least one more hit on Charizard in the meantime.

Remember guys, when the time comes have your gloves on.

>>27777441
It's not actually from Sugimori, but it is from an official artist. Considering it's the same style and pose, yeah I'm sure it was intentional. It's just a fun drawing though, it wasn't used as promotional material anywhere.

It's weird how Red has been getting progressively less Red-like while Ash seems to be doing the opposite and getting back to their shared roots
>>
>>27777464
It's so good.
was it done within the kalos league timeframe?

Can we get a new thread, please?

In order of appearance in the intro:
>Lysandre
>Admin girls
>Xerosic
>Zygarde
>Alan

So we have Alan already in the finals, that'll be his key place of involvement. Then Zygarde, then Xerosic. We know that much from the episode summaries. The rest is obvious.

The intro really did a great job of staying accurate to the plot. It's like a treasure map. Really shows that they planned this all out in advance.
>>
>>27777513
Good observation.

>>27777513
>Serena gets through the four Flare girls to get to Ash

I've been thinking what Ash is gonna monologue in the rainbow homonologue. He doesn't know much about Alan unlike the monologues he has done with Clemont or Shota.
>>
>>27777490
It's way older than that
>>
>>27777513
Have other seasons been like that at all? I feel like this is the first time the opening has offered so much.
>>
>>27777424
I think in general they put her close to Ash, there was that other one from the wetlands episodes in which Ash is standing right in front of her like protecting her from something.
