MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
DELICIOUS MEGA CHARIZARD X COCK
>>27872810
D-DID FUCKING BISHARP BEAT GOODRA
It's time to protest the writers.
More like Greninjob, amirite
Why are you fags still making generals
There's no point in making these threads anymore, the fun is over.
>Ash lost
>Serena will OBVIOUSLY not win
See you in the Sun & Moon threads.
>>27872957
Goodra fucking jobbed hard
Didn't get a single KO
They give Ash a psuedo, and it fucking sucks anus when he needs it the most
>>27872957
Guillotine'd
YOU GOTTA DRAW THE LINE SOMEWHERE! YOU GOTTA DRAW A FUCKING LINE IN THE SAND DUDE! YOU GOTTA MAKE A STATEMENT! YOU GOTTA LOOK INSIDE YOURSELF AND SAY, "WHAT AM I WILLING TO PUT UP WITH TODAY?"
NOT FUCKING THIS!
>Ash doesn't pack a team with Pikachu, Sceptile, Snorlax, Charizard, Infernape, Greninja
why is he so fucking stupid?
Where do I send the death threats?
>>27872810
DAILY REMINDER LYSANDRE IS OUR ONLY HOPE OF SALVATION.
HE IS THE ONLY ONE ABLE TO ERASE EVERYTHING AND REBORN THIS SHITTY WORLD
LYSANDRE, BLOW EVERYTHING UP, MAKE POKEMON BEAUTIFUL AGAIN AND DESTROY THIS SHITSHOW WITH YOUR GLORIOUS Z GUNDAM
FLARE !
F L R !
>>27873017
Because we liked the xy series. We didn't made discussion boards just for ash to win.
>>27873024
Alain will win da Serena and make Ash watch while she takes the mega dick
>it's supposed to air at 6am
>get up 10 minutes before
>it's already over
FUCKING
TIME
ZONES
the entirety of /vp/ is the anime general right now because of cross-boarders, I don't think this thread is gonna work out.
JUST
>mfw i was with Alan the whole time
you all can get C U C K E D until the end of time
AT LEAST WE HAVE SUN AND MOON NEWS IN 4 HOURS
IS TODAY GOING TO BE ONE OF /vp/'S BIGGEST DAYS?
>>27872810
Stop making these threads. No one should watch this bullshit anymore. There's absolutely no payoff and no tension when you know your protagonist will literally never accomplish their goal, even after 20 years.
What are the chances we get a rematch during the team flare arc? If he can beat zardX there then i'll accept the loss.
Also, screencap when?
>>Is this season good? I haven't watched the anime in [x] years and-
>There is no hope anymore. Do what you wish.
>>Will Serena win da Ash?
>Don't get your hopes up.
>>27873065
Replace Sceptile with Heracross and this is an unbeatable team.
OF COURSE HE DIDN'T WIN, GOTTA HOLD ON TO ASH SO WE CAN SHILL HIM SOME MORE
PIKACHU WAS THE ONLY COMPETENT MEMBER ON HIS TEAM, PIKA SHOULD LEAVE ASH'S DUMB ASS
C'MON GUYS LETS GET HYPED ABOUT THE FLARE ARC EVEN THOUGH WE JUST GOT THROUGH ANOTHER FUCKING LOST HAHAHA. C'MON GUYS LETS JUST DO IT LIKE ITS FINE AND STUFF YOU KNOW. LIKE WHEN SERENA LOST AND THEY IMMEDIATELY THREW US THAT STUPID BAIT SERENA BECOMES ASH SO YOU WOULDNT CARE AS MUCH HAHAHA.
Everytime a new thread of this general is created will serve as the eternal reminder that
NEVER
EVER
Ash will win the league.
Cease the suffering and stop this at once.
So how did the japs react?

No, it's fucking garbage, literally BW is better

In an idea world, yes, but in an ideal world, Greninja and Goodra wouldn't be jobbing faggots either

No wonder japanese kids are losers if their media does nothing but beat it into their little heads that they're absolute losers and no amount of effort they put into life will change that.

You should watch it, the first season will clear you of your narrative grievances while replacing your butthurt with JIBUN WO
It's time for Ash to give up on his dreams
he's been at this for nearly 20 years now
DAILY REMINDER THAT ANYONE WHO POSTS IN ONE OF THESE THREADS FROM THIS DAY FORWARD WITH ANY LOVE FOR THE POKEMON SERIES IS A OLM, INC. KEK AND FAGGOT
Well at least slugfucker is happy. A real man wouldn't have come all the way from the goddamn swamp so it could immediately job without even getting off a single fucking hit.

I HURT MYSELF TODAY
TO SEE IF I STILL FEEL
I FOCUS ON THE PAIN
THE ONLY THING THAT'S REAL
THE NEEDLE TEARS A HOLE
THE OLD FAMILIAR STING
TRY TO KILL IT ALL AWAY
BUT I REMEMBER EVERYTHING
WHAT HAVE I BECOME
MY SWEETEST FRIEND
EVERYONE I KNOW GOES AWAY
IN THE END
AND YOU COULD HAVE IT ALL
MY EMPIRE OF DIRT
I WILL LET YOU DOWN
I WILL MAKE YOU HURT
I WEAR THIS CROWN OF THORNS
UPON MY LIAR'S CHAIR
FULL OF BROKEN THOUGHTS
I CANNOT REPAIR
BENEATH THE STAINS OF TIME
THE FEELINGS DISAPPEAR
YOU ARE SOMEONE ELSE
I AM STILL RIGHT HERE
WHAT HAVE I BECOME
MY SWEETEST FRIEND
EVERYONE I KNOW GOES AWAY
IN THE END
AND YOU COULD HAVE IT ALL
MY EMPIRE OF DIRT
I WILL LET YOU DOWN
I WILL MAKE YOU HURT
IF I COULD START AGAIN
A MILLION MILES AWAY
I WOULD KEEP MYSELF
I WOULD FIND A WAY

Anyone managed to snag a clip of the water shuriken and thunder punch clash? That was probably the highlight of the match

So who going to be the one to firebomb this guy's house?

Please get fired, or replaced soon holy shit. It's getting so damn old.
I feel bad for whoever working on the anime actually wanted to have Ash win
>>27873668
Somebody do it. They only way they'll change is if we threaten them by force. The time of the manchild is now!
At least Shouta's battle was pretty good.

I saw mentions of an "unjust defeat".
>>27873698
Greninja vs Sceptile was the much better battle regardless of results. They fucked this up massively.
This is all fucking Porygon's fault. If that seizure shit didn't happen 20 years ago then they'd have finished the original anime and ended it before the hype caught on, they'd have to change it up after words, wouldn't have gotten stuck on Ash and we wouldn't be in this eternal circlejerk we are in now.
Ash's theme right now.
https://youtu.be/y983TDjoglQ
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEeE
>>27873282
Is this good?
>>27873770
Porygon did nothing wrong. It was that asshole who put the antivirus program into the computer who caused the problem.
>no reserves were used
>no mom watching/going to Kalos to cheer for him
>no cameo or mention of any of his old friends watching him
The signs were there all along

>>27873794
ALL ACCORDING TO KEIKAKU
>>27873834
That's true. When was the last time we heard from Oak?
Maybe they've given up on any form continuity entirely now. We didn't even get an Iris visit.
Ash will go right to Aloha from Kalos. Eventually they'll forget he even has a mother.

>>27873794

REMINDER
Does someone even care anymore?
messi
>>27873574
Look at that asshole. He doesn't even want the trophy.
Never let your successes go to your head. Never let your failures go to your heart..
Welp...
>>27874085
that's not going to work
you need to jump from 7 times your height at least
>>27873794
An anon one-upped you
PLEASE BLOW IT ALL UP AND END MY SUFFERING
To be honest, I'm not really angry or sad. Disappointed, sure, but it's not like I'm going to drop the show just for that.
Ash winning would have been great, but I watch this show just because I find it cute and kind of cool sometimes. I don't take it too seriously or expect anything out of the ordinary. That's probably one of the reasons I don't really hate BW while literally everyone does.
Also, now that it's been confirmed that Ash is literally never going to win a league, I guess I can start watching every season from now on without any hopes of that happening.
>>27873163
Not so good for what I've read.
>>27874159
I think I'm in the same boat as you anon. I just hope that they either close the chapter here or don't make Ash reset.
>>27873134
>The writers think that makes up for it
I've seen Ash save the world countless times, but he has yet to win a proper league. Unless that trophy is on the line, a win is meaningless
DP > XY
At least they didn't put a fuckload of "HE'S GOING TO WIN THIS TIME GUYS" hints and then went all "LOL JK".
The moment they mentioned a trainer with a Darkrai would appear in the Sinnoh league I knew Ash was doomed, so I never expected anything different. But in XY they put random shit like the furfrou fag, TR cheering for Ash, Ash almost defeating Diantha, Ash never defeating Alan, Alan having basically no reason to be in the league (muh strength), and Ash-Greninja, just to backpedal in the end.
I'm so fucking mad.
>Ash could have brought back one of his old Pokemon
>Calls Goodra
>It jobs
Thanks Goodra.
>S-Serena will win the Ashbowl and save the anime!
>There are STILL people who don't realize that Pikachu won the Ashbowl 2 decades ago
>>27873916
maybe the TF arc will redeem his defeat...
>>27874159
Ever heard of the definition of insanity?
>>27873996
How's this?
>>27874142
That's very good, hopefully mine gets some use as well.
BULLSHIT! GOODRA YOU BULLSHITTER!!!
World tournament in Kanto confirmed guys
>>27874431
Where's the proof?
>>27873794
>ash loses league
>will get to beat up ginger hitler with a red mega gyarados as though that were worth a damn
Fucking bullshit.
>>27873916
>Giving a shit at this point.
I hope no one fucking watches it
>>27874159
So, we've reached the Bargaining stage already
>>27873605
There is no Alola League!!! END IT ALL!!
Whoever makes the next thread make sure to change the OP back. Please and thank you.
>>27873574
Piece of shit didn't even want to be in the league.
>>27874397
I mean, Flare's attack is all Alains fault, where as Ash will probably save the day.
So at the end, the champ will be a pariah that brought destruction, and everyone knows it, while Ash will have saved Kalos and will probably get that hero award you get at the end of XY.
.....BUT Ash has been hailed as a hero many times before, they effectively mean nothing because nobody's ever heard of them in other regions, and they don't actually help him with his actually goal of winning leagues.
It is pretty amazing they can still keep making episodes with Charizard's dick so far up their ass.
>>27872810

>BUT IT DOESNT
>FUCKING
>MATTER
Now that I've accepted that, Flare Arc looks alright.
Honestly Alan had more interesting shit going on in the Mega Evolution specials than Ash, who only got interesting after synchro, and has a big enough role in the story that at least his winning doesnt leave that bad of a taste as the other people that beat him in the league.
Why are we still here? Just to suffer?
>>27873158
and if He wins a filler league Gary or someone else will come and kick his ass
Just switch protagonists already you hacks.

ADDED NEW TRAILER
Isn't the anime supposed to be a marketing tool for the games?
Who the hell thought it was a good idea to make the New And Super Speshful Ash-Greninja Coming Soon Only In Pokémon Sun And Moon™ lose after all the hype its existence created?
Some facts:
>ash will never win the league
>you will never lose your virginity
>you will never graduate
>messi will never win a world cup
>>27874799
Two of those things have already happened anon.
>>27874822
there are 80 posters here
it will depresses plenty of them
>>27874684
Though the meare fact that it was the finals Is NOT helping at all.
>>27874799
>>messi will never win a world cup
One day...
>>27874525
>Flare sponsored the Lumiose Conference
>Turns out they're a bunch of terrorists
>Turns out the Kalos Champ is working for them
>People demand a second league free from Flare's shit
>Held in the same place XY's was

>Ash wins that one

i got a blowjob tho

i graduated highschool
>close enough
>>27874934
I kinda find it weird that people get can get as close as blowjobs but just can't go the extra inch to be able to fuck the girl.
>>27874989
Oh yeah, because I had a million blowjobs from a million different girls...
It just happened and the girl wasn't willing to go further than that
>>27874414
U S E B L A S T B U R N
>>27875036
Weird thing is I knew a good few lads who get that far but get cold feet when it comes to sex
>>27874799
>That's true
>Happened
>I graduated from secondary school, barely
>Lol, don't give a shit about that manlet or football in general
I missed the Goodra vs Bisharp fight, did Bisharp OHKO Goodra?
>>27875192
It 2-hit KO'd it. Goodra got fucked up by the first hit, just it was able to hold on for one more hit before jobbing. It didn't land any hits itself though.
You can only be comforted by one. Not Serena because she's comforting Ash right now.
Do we know yet who wins? spoil it for me please.
>Satoshi trending worldwide
Nips are upset he lost this time.
pottery with both serena and ash losing is the only thing carrying me on
that's literally it
kill everything lysander
kill clembot
kill puni chan
i don't care. Give me amour or I'm never watching another episode again.
>>27875336
Shauna, no contest
>>27872810
I don't watch the Anime, has Ash ever mega evolved a Pokemon?
>>27875438
Good riddance.
>>27875101
fuck and then there's me sporting boners even when my hand touches a girl's
>>27875445
Anime Shauna isn't dark enough.
>>27875478
yeah go ahead and be proud at watching a marketing ploy
>>27875500
This argument is so shit, I can barely be bothered to humor it anymore.
You know Gundam is an advertisement too, right?
>>27875496
I dont mind, she can be a few shades lighter or darker and it wouldnt bother me. Regardless she iscute.
>>27875532
Wow you sure convinced me there, gaylord. I guess it's suddenly worth watching now knowing that the end result will always be the same.
any speed subs?
>>27875532
Gundam hasn't been the same fucking circlejerk with the same fucking character doing the same thing and failing in the end for 20 years though.
This is the face of a Pokemon that faints 2 seconds later. No scratches, nothing.
IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES
>>27875576
It's like the first world martial arts tournament in dragonball.
I knew it was going to happen like this once Charizard fell only to his knee and Greninja was still standing.
>>27874414
USE BLAST BURN
I'm so disappointed.
adamant what did serena say.
just tell me that much. Just, "he tried his best", or what?
>>27875645
The difference is Goku eventually won a tournament. And the plot then proceeded to find other things for him to do.
>>27875576
I thought for a moment that everything was going to be okay.
I should have known better, look at the climax of Ash vs Shota compared to Ash vs Alain. The former actually felt like a proper finish, the latter could have been used for a trainer of the week episode.
>>27875735
She said "I'm gonna dress up as Satoshi and win ALL THE LEAGUES FOR HIM!"
ash is probably gonna win the final season league of pokemon. That's why the writters are roasting you guys like crazy, they need to keep you watching
>>27875755
Yeah, but compared to Dragonball, Z was shit, so...
I guess it's a good thing that things stay the same in pokemon, huh?
I think right now would be a great time to switch over to Dinosaur King
Ash is manufactured to lose.

The rest of us who have watched the series since we were kids with perhaps a few years of rest before marathoning everything we missed.

>>27875919
>same in Mexico
why should I care what a bunch of druggies and rapists think
I missed the episode, but I told you guys. I told you long ago. I told you Ash wasn't gonna win it. I told you your meme teams and pairings wouldn't finally clinch it. I truly knew when he decided he wasn't going to use any other mons. If he had won, I told you it wouldn't be the end for him.
Now remember what else I said. Remember when I told you that Ash and Serena would leave on a very bitter note? When I laid it out very clearly? Watch. It will happen.
Remember this space.I'm one of the prophets.

Can't wait until Serena leaves so you shits stop caring
This anime needs to fail so it can finally change.
>>27876063
OP here
I never expected the shipping to go anywhere, but I really thought he would win the League this time. I cam back to the anime with XY when I saw the vastly improved art and Ash actually being competent.
If they won't let him win the League Amour is certainly not happening.
>Mfw all the fleshed out Leaders in Kalos are disappointed
Ash, why.
>>27875904
It don't know if would be "good" It would however, not be the eternal Ash spinning his wheels fest because it would have ended in Kanto for better or worse, and then they'd have had to make a seperate anime for the next region at the very least, and then without being attached to one guy, they could have had seperate animes for each game instead of the Ash never wins show.
>>27876083
It won't fail though, it will run for fucking ever.
If stringing the audience along and then BTFOing them doesn't kill this shit nothing will.

Watching you people react to the most obvious ending was beautiful. I have never seen this much condensed salt in one place on 4chan before, I'm amazed.

Actually, May went on a losing streak after leaving Ash. So really, she should've stuck with him.
>ash lost the league
PFFFFT HAHAHAHAHAHA I FUCKING TOLD YOU
NOW WHO IS THE DENIALFAG
HAHAHAHA
NEXT TARGET, SHITRENA LEAVING
I don't know if anyone else feels like I do right now, but I'm very disillusioned right now. Kinda the same way I felt these last 3 years after Argentina played in THREE finals and lost, just the feeling is multiplied because I've literally have been watching this show for like 18 years.
I'm going to finish this series, but come November when the new series starts I will move on. Everything lead to Ash winning the league and I mean all the hints lead to him winning, and we get someone who didn't want to be there win it?
>>27873199
Apparently, they're damn pissed off.
>finally get the chance to fulfil his dream

Remember that the anime is made mostly for Japanese 8 year olds, most of them probably don't even know what an Infernape is never mind that Ash had one once. Shit I'm suprised they even brought Charizard back in BW cause it'd been a LONG time since he was last even seen in the show.
Plus bringing back any of his old pokes would take the shine off Greninja who they have shown they clearly want at front stage centre at all fucking times.
They fucked up not letting him win this time. Ash can't get any better than he was in X and Y that was literally the smartest Ash has been. If Ash can't win at his best what's the point in watching the anime?
>>27877359
>Greninja who they have shown they clearly want at front stage centre at all fucking times.
Then they shouldn't have made it job to a single resisted attack.
>>27877345
Hey by the time ash actually wins you will be a PhD. and watch the finals with your son or cat. Ganbatte, anon-san!

Lol this shit is hilarious. I've been saying ash is going to lose for months and you idiots say I'm shit posting. Is this a worse loss than tobias?
So I just woke up, and SAY IT AIN'T SO. FUCK. FUUUUUUUUUUCK.
>>27877385
Thanks Anonymous
Did I do good?
I stopped watching the anime. If Ash won, I was going to watch all of the Kalos League episodes.Guess that's not happening.
Is this real life?
>>27877503
Yep
I BTFOd memefrog
Eat shit
When does ash leave serena?
While I am disappointed at being cucked AGAIN, I will still say this community is still way too negative. I said it for Tobias, and I'll say it here, this is not the horrid massacre everyone makes it out to be. Do you not realize what just happened? Ash lost to a single-stroke battle. True, that is not unusual in itself, he's lost two other leagues this way, but he was literally a coin toss away from actually winning. The writers may never feel like giving him that coin toss, but that's the most impressive thing we've seen ever, to be only a coin toss away from the League. I may agree with most that the coin toss is rigged from the start, but I won't let that get me down. We may or may not have just seen the farthest they will ever be willing to go on the matter. I can't help but feel an ominous ringing in this event, though. You can hear it years ahead that they intend for the victory to be in Alola rather than here. Will it mean as much? No, but I can feel they think they are justified in this matter. We were cheated this time so they can "redeem" themselves later on. Or perhaps the redemption is supposed to be in TF, I can't be sure.
I understand that it would've meant more here. I understand that it would've made better sense here. I even understand that their plan is doomed to failure because Alola is going to be the same as Orange, and after that, it's back to idiot land AGAIN and AGAIN, purely BECAUSE of the lack of a real challenge. Yes, I know. They failed their one chance, with most of the fandom watching. They will never have that again, not after that. I will still say it was their finest hour, even if we will never have it again, and it comes up empty.
The real question that we all must ponder is "Why is Ash being captured, then?" From what I see, I'm not even sure Lysandre even SAW the outcome. Then again, I've been touting again and again that the outcome never mattered to him. Now it's all out war and everyone is his enemy.
>>27874799
>>27874159
I think I'm legitimately done watching the show. They've effectively burned any goodwill when it comes to any future events. This is the closest Ash could possibly get to winning something. D/P made it obvious he stood no chance, but in XY he was relatively evenly matched, had a unique power-up, and had made it to the absolute final match. Now no one will believe in any victory that matters.
The loss would've been better if they had traded more hits. Greninja only got hit by Dragon Claw before the final clash, and in the semi finals the fucker tanked two Leaf Storms.
Anyway, the fight got me pumped, is there a list of important episodes throughout the whole Pokémon anime? Gym battles, Pokémon catches, rival fights...
I came to laugh at Ash and ask a question.
In the animeverse, is Team Rocket (the proper one) still relevant? I got really interest with Jame's team updating Giovanni on team flare and his instructions on it. I'm just so sick of Ash's eternal cycle of failure, I'd rather ave a season of pure team Rocket against other teams.
This is gold. I'm laughing my ass off at this board. Everyone in denial.
>People actually thought Ash was going to win with SM coming up
>People think Serena is going to stay
This is a good life.
I want to give the believers a big "I told you so" but honestly I just feel kind of sad for you guys.
>>27877464
It's only not because Alain is going to be demonized by Kalos and feel like shit because he ended up helping Flare wreck the place, and he drove away his only friend in his desire to win.
Where as Ash will be hailed as the hero who saved the day. He's even likely going to face Alain one final time and win when it doesn't matter.
It's a little better than the champ smugly running off into the night, but at the end of the day Ash still lost where it counted.
>Has type advantage
>loses
>>27877532
Don't try to rationalize this. Ash deserved this win to that bastard.
>Greninja beats a Mega Screptile with a 4x resist to water
>Greninja then loses to a Charazard that he's Neutral or resists
I swear to go they made Charazard win just because they won't stop wanking the lizard.
>>27877649
What type advantage? Water is neutral against Fire / Dragon.
>>27877649
>mega is part dragon
https://twitter.com/Mantager_/status/766246428893061121
So what if Ash lost. Remember, it's not the destination that matters but the journey and Ash had one hell of a great journey.
He met Clemont, Bonnie and Serena
He met his pokemon friends
He met greninja
He learned a lot about combat
He traveled the world
It's too bad that he lost but it's not important. There could only be one winner and Ash put up one hell of a fight. There will always be another championship.
Ash proved he was one of the best trainer in the pokemon world. He care deeply about the world and always try to change it for the best.
Today, Ash proved he was just as good as Red or any other trainer in this world.
>>27877691
>>27877683
Literally lost to fire type move
>20 years, 6 Regions
>Still can't win a Pokemon League.
Once he loses Serena to either Shauna or Alain, his failure will be complete and Amourshippers will be BTFO forever.
Having him lose is essentially the lazy option. It allows them to revert back to a blank slate and start over, as opposed to having to actually deal with any complications that would arise from him winning. Even though you could quite easily have him win, lose to an Elite 4, and then send him off to the next region where he'll hope to continue progressing without having to alter the formula of the show much at all.
But in some ways I'm kinda glad he didn't win, because the moment just didn't seem right. I think it was the lack of fanfare about his progress, the fact that none of his family or old friends were there or shown to be watching, and that he didn't use any of his old Pokemon and only two of his battles were proper battles - all things that made the final feel a lot less epic and big an occasion as it should be.
To be honest this is a worse league than DP. You got all the hype for nothing. In DP, they added an obvious Ex Machina so it wasn't that much of a suprise. But here it is worse to see him lose again after going through everything. Makes XY series kind of pointless. Maybe TF arc will be better.

It's true that the team is the same, but the idea of them being brought back just for this episode is bullshit. Shinzo has been writing episodes throughout XY.
>>27877764
We didn't even get the usual 2 episodes that acknowledge the last gen this time.
At this rate I expect them to forget Ash has a mother.
>>27877781
Despite the circumstances, this would be legitimately hilarious.
>>27877556

>>27877764
Unless he forgets everything, it will never be irrelevant

>>27877706
Red is canon below Gold.
Anyways no, this isn't some uplifting loss. Ash just fucking lost.
JESUS!!! Those DISLIKES . . . I love it. FUCK THE WRITERS!!!
>>27877532
Do they feel that giving Ash the final battle with Lysandre somehow justifies all this? There is only one way it can, and that is if Alain fails somehow. Victory over TF as opposed to the League? Yeah, I know, still no excuse, it's all been done before, and taking victory over TF from Alain will also be hollow since there's no reason for it to play out this way. Are they anticipating that Alain will be too busy trying to save Manon? That will be cheap yet again. You just know that is what they'll do now, though. All we can do now is wait for it to be over.
Finally, this is hardly the thing I would've made what is certain to be my final stand here. You wagered your existence on this outcome. Now you pay the price. I can't say you'll be missed, but I am also going down with this ship. Do I regret it? No. I will never regret what I felt was right, and I never will, even when I was wrong. I will gladly die for what I believed in, and maybe I will do it again, I'm not sure, I honestly think it was better to digest the entire saga in one go rather than waiting for years to get the whole picture. But, I also learned that I shouldn't let filler bring me down as much. There is only one thing left I have to say.
Alola.
>>27877697
>brought back the BW writers JUST for this 2-parter
But that's fucking wrong. Those two have been working on this show since the beginning, and they also worked on several XY episodes before this one.
People can't seem to accept that XY fucked up and are still trying to blame fucking BW.
>>27877819
So hard reset like every other season?
>>27877697
>https://twitter.com/Mantager_/status/766246428893061121

nice try tierno, serena goes away to train or alan fucks her too while shoving the cup down her ass, but the fatty will never win
I unironically like Charizard and Mega X is one of my favoritee, but come the fuck on. Ash deserved that victory. Too much god damn hype behind this matchup for him to lose, even if it was that close. And to think I was actually starting to believe the anime would turn around for the better. I made a mistake.
>>27877968
>that feel when chilean AND charizardfag
So are you guys going down with this ship? Sorry for asking.
Is Ash's Greninja still stronger than his Charizard and Infernape, guys?
>>27877881
I see what they're going for. It's that Alain won the league, but Ash is the true hero, saving the region itself and stopping Lysandre from killing untold people and being hailed as a hero.....where as all Alain got is a trophy and title relatively empty when he brought Flare's destuction into fruition himself.
It's like Cars, where the green care caused the old racer to crash, and Lightning came in last so that the old car could come in second and not have his final race be a wreck he didn't even place in.
As a result the green guy won the cup, but his career was over because he made a public asshole of himself so nobody wanted to sponsor or back him, while Lightning gained fame and sponsors anyway (that he turned down) for being such a good sport on tv.
>>27877995
You are so cool and mature
>>27877983
>>27877953
Why are you samefagging so hard? Legitimately wondering. I mean, I knew he wasn't going to win but whatever.
>>27875957
If you're in usa you better do. They're coming to you after all
Does anyone else feel disillusioned right now? I had a lot of projects in real life that I wanted to do to help my life get back on track (set up Google Adword campaigns to promote my business, start losing weight to finally get a girlfriend at 29, try to find more labor for my business, etc) but Ash lost. When everything pointed out to a win Ash lost. And now Serena will lose the Ashbowl too. I'm sure I'll be able to shake off this feeling, just not sure when.
I agree. People love to forget this kid has been doing the same shit for nearly 20 fucking years. What anime does that!? That's fucking terrible writing.

Seriously speaking, what's the point?
They obviously lost a lot of fans and some people for sure dropped pokemon as a whole because of this.
It would have generated a massive positive attitude towards the franchise if he won, a lot more nostalgiafaga coming over too.
Why?
What's the next step in the masterplan?
>>27878074
And if Ash would realize that and just give up and find something more productive to do with hsi time, that would be great.
Instead he blindly keeps tossing himself at the league like chasing a carrot on a stick.
Like Ash should forget leagues and just become a Pokemon superhero running around stopping evil teams. It's what he's good at and he'd get infinitely more glory that way.

QUE ALAN LA REGION KALOS VA A SALVAR

Actually, adding to that, I'd say the fight against Shota was better than the one against Alan, way more tension and it was more dynamic.
>>27878112
>Satoshi's and Serena's Last Date!
So do people still believe Ash v Alan is still better than Ash v Paul or are you guys going to finally pull your heads out of your asses.

I got off the boat at the second season and observed the situation just to be safe. I won't be getting on another boat.
How is 2ch taking it? Can I rage to the jap Pokemon twitter?
>>27878119
I feel like they want to kill the anime.
Seriously. The games and cards clearly don't need it (OR and AS wasn't promoted at all in anime and it still broke record sales) and nobody seems to give it any respect.
They probably just want it dead, so they can use the anime budget for something else.
>>27878157
our last hope against flare dan...
>>27878128
But anon you gotta be the very best like no one ever was. In order to do so you gotta lose many times over.
The question is why does he always challenges every league once instead of at least twice.
>>27878074
>person tries from day 1 to win something
>has to compete against someone who explicitly says he doesn't care about the League in itself
>person who tried the hardest loses, on top of his 5 other losses
defend this
>>27878119
You're being over dramatic
This shit is gonna be forgotten in a year
Oh sure people will still complain like they complain about every big loss
But it won't fucking change anything. This is just like every other massive game changing freak out this fandom has ever had: it'll amount to absolutely fucking nothing
>>27878181
Same reaction as us. They'll probably condense into another year long hate thread like they did for Zinnia.
Actually this was great.
Alan win is more noble.
Ash win was just win for the glory.
Alan win was for Manon,
>Ash lost
You are all fucking kidding me right? You all decided to ruse the whole board and post fake screenshots and the episode was actually delayed because of the olympics right?
Fuck everything!
The worst part is this means the anime will continue eternally with ash being retarded for the early episodes. It was their chance to end it in a high note and have a new fresh start with Alola dammit.
I'm salty as fuck and all the pokemon hype I had been building for the last couple of weeks just came down faster than Ash's Goodra.
Okay, rating time:
Orange > Hoen = Diamond > XY > Original > Johto > B/W
>>27878206
If you seriously believe this league lose is the same as the others you are delusional or you started watching pokemon this season.
>>27878206
Actually the Japanese anime fanbase had more intterest garnered in it they have it a real long time because of this match. And now they're downvoting everything like crazy.
It does seem to have hit a nerve more than before. Nobody really cared in DP or BW like this.
>>27878201
he's a good trainer but he's not the best.
>>27878224
Manon is gonna fuck right off when she learns that Lumiose being in this state is all Alan's fault.
>>27878228
The anime would've kept going with Ash regardless of him winning or not.
I wonder how it feels writing the episode where Ash loses again. My best guess is that they don't really give a shit.
>>27877556

>>27878258
He didn't know Lysandre is a huge dick bag though
Is this the least shitposty thread that people are actually hanging out in? I'm lost right now.
>>27878228
Also I called Goodra jobing hard to the edge but wasn't expecting it to be THIS hard.

>Ash loses another Pokemon League
>Misty friendzones him
>May goes on to win the Hoenn championship after accruing several Pokecontest victories
>Dawn picks Cynthia over Ash
>Iris becomes Unova Champion
>Serena leaves for Alain, her true childhood friend
>Gary becomes a world recognised researcher while Ash is 'that kid who always comes second best'
Okay, anything that needs to be added?
I've been scrolling through Twitter and seeing Japanese fans upset at Ash losing. I think they're going to lose a lot of fans after this latest episode.
I hate Alan so much right now, I hope Lysandre rapes and kill Manon in front of him.
Also wtf, Ash doesn't deserve Serena.
>>27878278
Thanks.
>>27878288
He's still gonna side with him because "MUH HARI-CHAN".
Never in my life have I ever seen something job as hard as goodra
Actual rating DP>XY>AG>OS>BW
>>27878292
it will be 90% shitpost for the next few days. There's people from all boards shitting on /vp/ right now plus the anime haters from /vp/. Dust should settle down in a few days
>>27878254
I don't think you're getting the point
as far as morales go, "no matter how hard you'll try, someone who doesn't even care or try nearly as hard as you do will defeat you" is clearly a horrible one
they gave him the oc greninja and ran the hype to the ground, then made him lose, that's ridiculous
>>27878206
Yes, forgotten exactly. Like the show itself. This was the time where they actually clearly did something right because people were legitimately interested in the ashnime, even genwunners. They can't afford to lose everything they worked for and just make people "forgot" about it, but they just did.

Do you honestly believe the writers would ever let Kibago evolve?
>>27878345
>Axew evolving
I bet you think Pikachu will evolve someday.
>>27878258
They might as well have, since Sun and Moon is going to be different enough from previous gens they might as well have changed protagonists.
I seriously don't know who Ash is supposed to be used for. The older nostalgia fags actively want him gone because they're sick of him spinning his wheels and never going anyway and the little kids haven't been watching Ash long enough to actively get so attached to him they wouldn't accept another lead.
>>27878354
this one seems to be the one with the least shitposting
>>27878235
>>27878243
You can't fucking tell the future based on shit that happened in the span of a handful of hours
This is just like the damn dance episode where you all said the show was fucking ruined forever, harassed a writer on social media, and started watching again next week
Also, as I've kept saying in other threads: likes and dislikes are MEANINGLESS. All they care about is that attention is on their fucking product.
You are giving them attention. Dislikes have never affected ANYTHING. That Call of Duty game everyone hates is still projected to meet sales expectations, as an example.
You are a mob. But you're not even a mob that matters, like the kind in Ancient Rome. You're just a bunch of loud shitters who know how to swarm.
>>27878337
>Dust should settle down in a few days
Do you seriously believe in that? Literally everyone from 4chan came here to laugh at us. They won't let us forget, and I'm sure most of us won't forget it anyway.
I mean, people still mention Tobias and Cameron. This loss of Ash is going down into history too.

Axew actively wanted to evolve. Also it's not the mascot anymore so they can do what they want with it for it's 2 episode appearance before vanishing forever.
>>27878119
The kids who only watched XY and nothing before it won't care.
The normies who only only watched the league in the last few days after hearing about Ash being in the finals will be disappointed but it's not like they actually matter when it comes to sales.
The absolute madmen who've watched every single episode of this show until now, even the entirety of BW, won't drop the show now.
The ones who really suffered with this were people who dropped the show years ago, but came back because of the "XY is great and different from anything before, Ash has a waifu and will win the league, just watch it already!" meme, since they've been following it for weeks, months or even years just to see Ash losing again like he's done 5 times before.
>>27878371
Probably not but it's her signature Pokemon for fuck's sake. Give her a Haxorus and let Little Iris ride around on Haxorus while Hax battles Dragonite and Hydreigon for who master loves more.
>>27878381
You seem to be basing your views purely on the western fanbase, which the writers don't give two fucks about
>>27878338
You mean "Someone who is literally the reason all of the horrible shit that is about to happen will happen at all will defeat you, and wind up getting off scott-free because he's more special than you."
>>27878405
>people still mention Tobias and Cameron
And yet people still watch the fucking anime
It's almost like this shit has no effect on ANYTHING
TE VAS A ALOLA, SATO PUTO
TE VAS A ALOLA, SATO PUTO
>>27878399
>you all
That was almost entirely shitposters falseflagging, anon.
>>27878405
yeah but it won't be as bad as it is right now. XY as a serie was good even if Ash lost in the end. Shitposters only saw the last episode so they utlimately don't care about the anime
>>27878429
>Someone who is literally the reason all of the horrible shit that is about to happen will happen at all
Lysandre is pretty good with words, I'd give him 30 in Charisma
>>27878421
It's literally the same in Japan. You think little Japanese 8 year olds will mind a change in leads when other stuff aimed towards them does it all the time.
>>27878416
I think most people that have followed XY for considerable chunks of its run is taking this okay, anon. It's the really new ones that are mad.
>>27878031
Perhaps. We will see. I've been saying that winning would not change a thing regardless. I even knew that the TF plot would still continue in the same matter regardless of the outcome. My mistake was that I let the matter they found Ash to be a threat get to me. I should've known that there was an alternate explanation. EVERYONE is his enemy now. How could I have been so blind? No matter, what's done is done.
>>27878416
Number 1 amazes me. To think this show has been going on for so long that to some kids Gen IV is their Gen I
But the number 4 should have been more skeptical. They know how this works by now, they've probably seen the clips of Ash losing several Pokemon Leagues and if anyone could reasonably come to the conclusion that it's still going for 20 years because Ash keeps losing when it matters. They really ought to have seen this coming. I did.
Although now that I know what happens, I'm probably not going to watch anymore Pokemon episodes. I've already seen Ash lose to Ritchie and Harrison.
>>27878485
Yokai watch added new protagonist and it failed.
>>27878119
>It would have generated a massive positive attitude towards the franchise if he won, a lot more nostalgiafaga coming over too.
Yeah right
This event showed the general attitudes of the show that people have when they don't have anything to look forward to. Everyone just views it as a kiddieshit commerical, winning the leauge won't have swayed anyone. Because what happens when the league is over? Think they're going to go back to watching kiddieshit TR attack Ash and adventures in Aloha? They'll just get bored because pokemon isn't for them.
>>27878450
Gee
That can't possibly be happening here could it
>>27878485
If Ash was as "hated" as the western fanbase insists, he'd have been dumped ages ago.
Japan likes Ash. Dumping him would hurt the show in the one country that actually matters.
>>27878413
>XYZ 051: Diantha and Cynthia's Proposal! A New Adventure Begins!
>>27878415
Just like how Ash has actively wanted to win the Pokémon League for 19 years, right?
>>27878399
What's your point? How is this better than making Ash win?
What does making Ash lose accomplish that winning doesn't?
Sure attention is good regardless of good or bad, but why are you trying to imply that bad is better than good?
This will only give attention to the show for a few days and that's it, then it's absolute downhill from there.
And Ash winning would be so revolutionary that it would give pokemon a massive amount of attention that repeating the same formula ever will.
It was the last chance for them, the people will not give it another try.
tl;dr you are retarded fuck off
>>27878529
I think they're referencing shows like Duel masters, which is a long-runner on the level of Pokemon.
>>27878440
Because it had the looks of something that would not bring another Tobias or another Cameron. And indeed they didn't. They made it somehow worse.
>takes at least two Thunderbolts on regular zard
>also a quick attack
>takes the first hit against Greninja, a Cut to the belly
>also gets punched in the face by Aerial Ace
>add some Water Shurikens on top of that
>and then a fucking bus-sized orange shuriken, when the blue version of it took down a 4x resist Mega
>somehow it still survives
>people will think there are "invested" people when in fact they only came in droves upon hearing the final league episode
yes there are people who watched the show who felt bad, but to imply that they outnumber pretty much the usual post number is hilarious
makes you wonder how long before shitposters will get tired of this toy and move to another one, like SM announcements
>>27878119
>Seriously speaking, what's the point?
Alan winnning is more important for the story. Ash was battling for title, Alan battle for important person's sake.
Also teaches that superpower not always wins, even if perfected.
>>27878119
>It would have generated a massive positive attitude towards the franchise if he won, a lot more nostalgiafaga coming over too.
If people only come because of the victory/defeat at the league they wont stay. Pokémon knows that so they won't waste time for this temporary audience.
>>27878045
Ummm...a lot. They're random shows, though. If they think they're being that, then they're not. Why they want to be a hybrid of random and story driven is beyond me, you satisfy neither.
>>27878551
>XYZ 051: Diantha and Cynthia's Proposal! A New Adventure Begins!
>>27878551
I don't get it.
Asking him to do a league in Alola or threesome /ss/?
>>27878485
Except all the shows aimed at them that do it are not as successful as the ones that don't change the protagonist.
People don't want the protagonist changed. Now, this doesn't mean that they won't get mad at Ash losing, but they don't want Ash gone.
>>27878572
Yeah, and look at where Yugioh is in ratings now and look at where Pokemon is.
>>27878585
yes yes, /padt/ can't wait until the quality goes up after everyone leaves and we can go back to being excited about shirtless ash episodes like the people with taste we are.
neck yourself
>>27878567
I'm saying you people have the worst fucking case of entitlement and myopia I've ever seen and you don't even understand he social media interaction with content works
The dislikes? All the shitposting? You're spitting into the wind and assuming how loud and angry you are will matter in the long run.
>>27878548
Pokemon has worldwide fame and acclaim. Unlike most other anime where only Japan really matters and everything else is bonus cash a significant amount of Pokemon's profits come for overseas.
Pokemon USA made so much money they were able to add and exclusive western scene to one of the movies.
>>27878601
>not taking the chance to transform at least part of the temporary audience into loyal costumers
you gotta take some risks in business
I'm yet to see what the fuck they have planned to justify the risk they're taking right now
>No Satoshi's burning passion
>No don't give up 'till it's over
>Greninja just... fainted
>Everything was about Alan and Manon
What?
>>27878601
>Pokémon knows that so they won't waste time for this temporary audience.
I see. So it's better to just shit on the loyal audience instead, brilliant.
>>27878548
I don't like or hate Ash, His win in Kalos would have been meaningless to the story and they could have restarted just like they always fucking do. Winning here would have been for the fans only.
>>27878600
Alan was all about power and personal gain. He isn't better than Ash.
And to Ash winning would definitely be more important for the story, and to the PokeAni as a whole.
>>27878632
Personally, I can't wait till the Amourshippers leave, they were the only real cancer this entire time. Then is when the threads will get nice and comfy again.
>>27878632
>being buttdevastated that that is the truth
I love how you guys magically cared all of a sudden
yeah what happened was shit, no one is denying that, but to claim you guys cared is hilarious
I hope after this people stop hyping XY as the second coming of Christ, and accept that it's just "good", even by Pokémon standards.
>>27878662
Greninja got crit.
>>27878610
Yugioh has been trying to jump the shark for years ever since 5Ds ended. Pokemon's ratings are up because XY was good, and they just pissed on those numbers.
It's not that Ash lost, it's that he lost for a total bullshit reason.
Also, Duel Masters actually ages-up its characters, and is on season 14.
>>27878119
I don't think you truly understand. Alain WAS the nostalgiafagging. You know it was. It was the more mature anime, it had Dragon Char, it had the person that wins all the time. The nostalgiafags won. That is all.
Not dissapointed with result but with battling handling in the League.
>only 2 matches for Ash
>Goodra hyped up - lost 2 times
>Noivern lost 2 times
Why people are trying to rationalize this? Holy shit. I like XY but stop defending it, morons and stop policing how people should feel.
>>27878559
That's not quite the same.
Togepi finally evolved.....when they were done with it.
They don't need Axew as a mascot anymore because he hasn't been a regular character in years and never will again.
I don't think any of you realized or are interested, which is understandable, but raws are out
http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=841536
though honestly I'm taking a break from pokémon after today
>>27878701
whoever thinks of that is retarded
it is a good Pokemon show, possibly the best, but that's what it is, only retards think it's beyond that
>>27878662
Alan is the true protagonist.
Which is fine by me. He's cuter than Ash.
>>27878206
Not a chance. This is the new Tobias.
>>27878720
If you truly convinced yourself of that, I can only feel sorry for you.
>>27878700
Plenty of people are denying it. Plenty of them are defending it saying it's the best thing for ash's character or whatever mental gymnastics they need to do to stay sane.
Ash having a chance at winning made people care. It made people who haven't bothered with the anime in decades care again. Just because they didn't waste their time for years getting excited over monster of the week team rocket shit or shirtless ash episodes doesn't mean shit. The anime could have won people over.
>>27878696
Yeah but Alain is going to end with him being thrown in jail for helping team flare.
>>27878649
Are you drunk? It gets a shitty ass low budget dub in America and then shuffled into dead CN slots. That's not because it's super acclaimed and America loves it, it's because TPCI know it exists and want to use it as an ad to get some extra money. If's Japan that matters. Always has been.
I'm madly in love with Serena and I'm really sad that Ash lost. Must be hard on Serena.
>>27878732
People on /vp/ act reasonably about it, but it was so fucking obnoxious to see everyone going "DUDE XY IS GREAT AOTS OF ALL SEASONS WHY AREN'T YOU WATCHING IT?" on every fucking board, and even other websites, every time Pokémon was mentioned.
>>27878724
you imply there aren't people who are legit sad and disappointed, and there aren't people who are just shitposting
>>27878760
those people are faggots
anyway those people don't have the context of the show to realize about this "chance"
that's why people like me didn't invest much as it was 50:50, you knew the context between the two, heck I figured he might lose because Alain had the Manon-clause
as always it's people who lack context trying to sperg all over as expected
>>27878748
Not even Tobias matters as much as you think it does
Not even Ash placing eight to a literal IDIOT destroyed this show and you think this will? Get some fucking perspective
We did nothing wrong. Just like Hitler.
>>27878766
Nah, he'll be given another trophy.
>>27878730
I saw, it got posted in another thread.. There are so many of them right now.
>>27878786
The person didn't say "it's a really great anime!" though. That is a legitimate claim to say it is a great Pokemon anime.
Seems more like the usual people of having high expectations forgetting what they're expecting. Reminds me of No Man's Sky fags.
>>27878112
Thanks. This actually made me laugh.
>>27878779
Well they aren't totally wrong. It used to be super acclaimed and aired every fucking day and was everywhere.
But it fell out of that at some point.
Alan is LITERALLY stronger than Ash.
This is completely fine if Ash loses to another strong trainer.
Get over it.
We want a new MC!!!!
They get one and wins the league.
Get mad.
KEK
Alan best character.
>>27878837
>change alan for tobias
>>27878837
I have the right to feel upset, asshole
>>27878834
That was Pokemania as a whole, not the anime.
>>27878837
To be fair, his strength mostly comes from his dealing with Lysandre, who used him as his plot to devasate Kalos.
Ash losing to someone like that seems....like a questionable message to send.
"Sell out to the devil kids. That's the only way to win."
Holy shit, some of you are actually defending this abortion of a league finale.
to be clear, nothing wrong with feeling disappointed, angry, or sad, since I am too
what is wrong is pretending to care and be invested
>>27878858
Alan is shit. He has shit taste, a shit design (what the fuck even are those pants) and a character that is literally nothing more than an 'I want to be the strongest' edgefag.
Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my leg... and my arm... even my fingers. The League I've lost... the battles I've jobbed... won't stop hurting... It's like they're all still there. You feel it, too, don't you? I'm gonna make them give back our trophy
>>27878884
His strength comes from the desire to protect Manon or whatever exactly his deal is with her.
Ash just fights to fight. Not to mention his cockiness.
>>27878908
>muh marketing
>muh dislikes don't matter
> muh japs love Ash
>>27878796
I didn't say that. I was only saying that people will still complain about it, for years to come.
>>27878884
I will not stand for such false slander
>>27878908
BUT ITS NOT SOOOO BAD YOU ARE JUST GOING TO FORGET ABOUT IT THE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ARE JUST TROLLS PLEASE DONT LEAVE WHO CARES ABOUT NOSTALGIAFAGS ANYWAY
WHOS HYPED FOR TEAM FLARE ARC? I SURE AM
>>27878884
Alan wants to make Manon smile, he won because he fought for her.
Ash wants to achieve his dream. He fought for himself.
Serena was performing for herself, Elle was performing for people's smiles.
I think it's great message for kids.
>>27878939
I was never here for the anime threads.
>>27878989
Yeah, we know.
>>27878966
Same here and I'd be glad to join the discussions.
Oh shit the Narusaku in this buthurt anons is so good.
>>27878921
How am I pretending? I actually care about this piece of shit, this is why it hurts.
There is another aspect that I feel needed to happen, though. Special Snowflake Greninja is not all powerful. It's no better than a Mega.
>>27878953
I don't understand. How can anyone says that we don't love Ash as much as the nips when we all are pissed that he didn't win?
>>27878820
Oh, I was agreeing with that guy. I think XY is pretty good and even Ash's loss doesn't change that.
To be perfectly honest, what bothered me the most were the people who had clearly never watched the anime since OS, but then found out about XY and start spamming just how great it was and how the seasons before it didn't even come close.But you can consider me just a mad Dawnfag after seeing my waifu and her character development being treated like dirt because XY bandwagoners heard about DP ending with Tobias' bullshit, so declared the entire season unworthy of attention.
>>27878942
>>27878967
He told Manon to get lost, and the only reason her Chespy is all sick is because of him.
He actively helped Team Flare, and while Ash Greninja is a legitimate power the developed on their own, Charizard X is only because Lysandre gave him the mega stone and ring.
Alain won because he was backed by terrorists. And now all the people suffering because of them devastating the city is his fault.
>>27879040
More like not even Arceus is better than a MegaZard X
>>27879046
Kill yourself, Noodle
>>27878942
>>27878884
His strenght came from his lust for power and Lysandre. Manon was a victim of his shit desires.
>>27879075
And you people say nostaliafags didn't win.
>>27879106
>nostalfags giving a shit about megas
So
anime is almost over
XY game are over in a few months
It's the end, Serena will go away with all my hopes and dream. The love of my life.Still hoping for pokemon Z in gen 7

>Charizard beats Greninja barely taking a scratch
The true message is that real bonds with your pokemon beat meme bonds that you developed a couple months ago. Ash's true bond is with his Pikachu, like Alain's true bond is with his Charizard. It was wrong of him to put faith in greninja, a pokemon he more or less just met. But Alain did the right thing and put his trust in his Charizard.Though Pikachu would have lost against Charizard either way so, I guess Ash was fucked no matter what.
>>27879032
and we exist
but do not deny there are people who are simply just shitposting for kicks because it's the latest thing
>>27879149
At least go down with Serena/Ash ship. I know I will.
>>27879091
Hahahahahahaha now power has Manon's face.
Come on now.
Ash losing and NEVER GIVING UP is part of this anime since its start. If he won, they would need really bullshit explanation why he didn't challenge E4 and goes to Alola and loses to some mons there.
Ash winning makes more problems.
He will win when protag change happens or anime ends. No other way.
>>27879210
She's 2d and I'm 3d, we'll never be together. I want her to be happy with Ash and I still believe in Amour!
>>27879230
He technically gives up every time he goes to another region instead of just trying that league again.
>>27879180
Yes yes, I, too, am happy to see Ash lose *tips pokemon cap* it was only natural because [mental gymnastic] and I'm glad that there are other individuals as euphoric as me *captures gym in pokemon go*
>>27879253
Glad to know you'll never give up. Neither am I.
>>27879211
>Literally ditch Sycamore for Lysandre
>Literally goes around the world challenging trainers to prove his might and get more power
>Literally responsible for Manon losing her smile
>B-but she thought about her in the end
>Causes Kalos to get fucked
Bravo.
>>27879282
They don't hold the league once a day.
>>27879194
So? Let them. Ash and the writers deserves the humillation
>>27879336
Once a year, but he could just train that year and try again, rather than dumping all his mons and leaving.
>he was a newfag with an unruly Charizard in Kanto
>they had to shill Gen III in Johto
>Puss in Boots was actually understandable
>they had to use a Legendary spammer to kick him out in Sinnoh
>>BW
>they give him an unique special super mode, a fully evolved team, two dragons and one of them a pseudo, Red's hat, Pikachu is OP, his super special frog even unlocks a more powerful move in the final, make him reach the finals, then loses because the frog didn't jump
>l-let's keep watching the next series, h-he might win this time!
Honestly, all the shit that hinted at Ash's victory feel so bizarre now.
What was the fucking point of the Takeru? Why make Team Rocket suddenly cheer for Ash and wonder if he'd win this time? Why mention how Ash had never defeated Alan when hyping the episode?
It's like they had already written the entirety of XY&Z thinking Ash would win, but in the last minute some producer said he'd have to lose this time as well, so the writing and animation team only changed the final minutes of the battle but didn't bother to change anything that came before that.
This show is over.
>>27879369
That's not his personality at all.
>>27879369
How static.
>>27879375
>h-he might win this time!
Alola doesn't have league and basically Orange 2.0 so Ash winning there makes sense.
>>27879389
It's setup for the Flare arc, anon. This episode wasn't the finale.
>>27879375
>watching the pokemon anime only because you want Ash to win
go back to /co/
>>27879389
>Why make Team Rocket suddenly cheer for Ash and wonder if he'd win this time?
they always cheer for him
>>27879420
Yes. Orange 2.0, so it means nothing.
>>27879389
>What was the fucking point of the Takeru?
Being a fucking loser. Never listen what losers say.
>Why make Team Rocket suddenly cheer for Ash and wonder if he'd win this time?
Because they're a fucking losers. Never listen what losers say.
>Why mention how Ash had never defeated Alan when hyping the episode?
To make Alan strong trainer.
>>27879356
I'm not the type who would kill someone that has given gold plenty of times but flubbed just one time
>>27879433
This is worst than the mental gymnastic anons
>i-i don't even care!
>>27879420
So basically, whatever he wins in Allahu will be worth shit. Thanks for clarifying.
>>27879389
>inked shuriken is the real ending
>>27879512
>>27879455
>it's different so it means nothing!!1!
Did you watched only this episode? Because XYZ 20 point was that every battle matters.
Literally the only way to save this show is to treat Alola like a training camp and then go back to Kanto to win there.
Child-bearing hips
>>27879493
I do care about his defeat but it's not the only reason why I'm watching the anime
>>27878707
I sorta remember watching the first season of this dubbed, is it really still going?
...Is it worth watching, the game itself didn't seem that interesting, but character aging is so rare that I'm interested.
>>27879550
...No, the point of that episode is that the writers cheat everyone out of their victory regardless of how well they do.
>he doesn't even give a shit anymore
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>27879587
there are people who thought XY's endgame is the league, i.e. people who jumped in the moment they heard about the finals
>>27879590
GX starts bad but gets decent
5Ds starts strong and gets meh
Zexal starts TERRIBLE but becomes THE BEST
Arc-V starts mediocre and gets bad.
>>27879640
Next time he loses he's probably going to celebrate.
>>27879645
It's the only endgame that matters.
Do people really think he's NOT gonna stop Team Flare.
>>27879558
>loser second place in Tripokalons
>loser second place in the league
A match made in purgatory. Chicken is fucked, I bet she will have a second set of thumbs or something.
>>27879649
I was talking about Duel Masters, I'm already following Yugioh
>>27879645
si hola fellow /padt/ poster
who cares about the leaguet
the only thing that matters are shirtless ash episodes and the another villain arc identical to all the others
si si amigo
>>27879690
>Alan cucks him again and becomes the Hero of Kalos
>>27879690
Team Flare isn't the endgame either
>>27879640
There's no shame in getting in second place. The only real shameful losses were in Kanto and Unova.
>>27879690
>he thinks it's just about stopping team flare
>not about the other characters, especially Bonnie's struggle
>>27879649
Again, we're talking about Duel Masters, not Yugioh.
>>27879590
Mimi is a 27-year-old news reporter now.
I am leaving this gun. It has a full capacity of bullets. Have fun.
>>27879725
My bad
Starts mediocre, gets your hopes up, ends up still being mediocre.
Not a worthwile watch.
>>27879728
and we got the strawman
>>27879691
>loser second place in Tripokalons
>flashbacks of keys
>her rivals were "entrusting their dreams to her" and saying that she should win for all losers sake
>Lost because Elle was giving smiles
>loser second place in League
>flashbacks of badges
>Takeru were saying that he should win for all losers sake
>Lost because Alan wanted Manon to smile

Ok then, let's get a proper thread up.
>>27879756
>>27879756
>>27879756
Raws in the OP.
>>27879312
He change after the primals shit.
Try to save Manon but backfired.
Character progression.
Drama.
He is a good MC just with 5 specials.
>>27879825
>It sure looks that way
Fuck off
>>27879936
>trying this hard
>>27879746
>>27879738
What else possibly could there be?
Once Flare is stopped Kalos is done and it's time to head onto Aloha.
>>27880029
nigga I'm talking about Team Flare itself, I'm not the other guy who mentioned "TF isn't end game"
>>27880023
>but muh shipping has to be in the OP
Fuck off
>>27880029
The Alola arc will start in late November. The Flare arc seems to conclude in mid September.
>>27880099
So that's a few episodes of goodbyes, a few episodes of going back to Pallet and maybe a filler or two.
Nothing major at all.
>>27880179
It's like 10 fucking episodes, dude.
>>27880287
So 8 fillers and 2 goodbyes.
You're expecting what? A final major arc? Another last minute tournament?
Once Flare is done, they'll just be killing time until Sun and Moon is released.
