Yes, it's fucking good, just start watching it already.

It sure looks that way.

Reminder that Greninja's showing today was more embarrassing than Charizard against Richie.
>>27874654
Congratulations there.
Hey guys, Ash and Serena are going to get together right???

If you want to apologize, the time is now.
Post characters that succeeded in their goal.
Stop making this thread, dumbass. We agreed that we would end /padt/ if he lost.
>>27874654
>>Will Serena win da Ash?
>It sure looks that way.
You should change it before you get disappointed.
>>27874730
REMINDER YOU WERE WRONG AND HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO LOOK FORWARD TOO

JUST LIKE THE LEAGUE RIGHT
>>27874654
>Is this season good? I haven't watched the anime in [x] years and-
>Yes, it's fucking good, just start watching it already.
Yeah, uh, the OP needs to be edited...
I hope these threads wither and die. Every time I will see them in the catalog I will remember about what could not be.
And I don't want to feel that feel.
>>27874730
I'm both. Mostly the left.
>>27874730
>>27874748
Only way I'll watch.
So guys who is Serena going to end up with? I doubt they'll have her wait for ash because then she'd have to show up in future seasons. Who will the writers slide her into before season's end?
Hey guys
Guys
Wanna hear something cool guysBlast Burn
>>27874767
FUCK YOU FAGGOT YOU'RE STILL GONNA GET WRECKED NEXT EPISODE
>>27874764
BOX THE FROG, FREE THE NON-DRAGON
They had everything going for them and they teased it for months only to pull a status quo holy fuck two nukes weren't enough I'm fucking done with this shit.
>>27874776
Nobody agreed to that no matter how many times you said it
>>27874730
>>27874736
We live in the darkest timeline.
>>27874730
Post your face and thoughts when Greninja fell.
They were in the final battle, 'Zard vs 'Ninja, I was sitting there with great anticipation saying to myself, "please don't fall, please don't fall," then it fucking fell, and the grin of excitement drained from my face like it does when your parents take you to 'Disneyland' and you discover the word Disneyland is adult for Dentist.
>>27874767
IT'S OVER FOR YOU ASH
DORAGON KUROOOOOOOU
Goodbye Greninja, so much for your infinite potential.
Enjoy getting Oak'd for the rest of your life.
>>27874773
>Defeated Cell
>Defeated Buu
Is there a single character that could defeat Mr. Satan?
REMINDER THAT ASH LET LITERALLY FUCKING EVERYONE DOWN
>>27874730
>>27874790
Why?
is amour our only hope now?
No journey is worth sitting through just to get to this point. There is literally no reason to keep on driving if the end point is the starting line again. The scenery changes but the pavement is still the same. You know every stone and batch. There is a moment when you must go off the road and just let go and set a new destination with a better journey.
Minna-san! Be sure to watch the upcoming season of Pokemon: Sun and Moon in gogoanime.io!
I live for these shitstorms
Bleach end and now this so close together
Im so happy
>>27874747
Really makes you think
WHO HERE IS READY FOR ASH TO LEAVE SERENA SO HE CAN LOSE IN THE ALOLA REGION?
>>27874748
Please, be Lillie or Selene/Luna.
>>27874815
Who cares
>>27874815
Tell that to Pidgeot.
>>27874815
Obviously Clement.
>RETARDS ACTUALLY THOUGHT ASH WOULD WIN THIS TIME
>>27874767
I'm not gonna apologize to some edgy tryhard faggot who only won because MUH PLOT ARMOR!
>>27874730
>>27874805
Pretty accurate.

>All those daijobus and trust into the fucking trash
Was it fair /padt/?
>Ash, a ten year old boy, is taking his loss more maturely than legions of alleged adults
>>27874847
Oh face it. I love the ship but that's shit is not gonna go anywhere. Next season she'll show up once and never to be seen again.
>>27874748
It's going to be green bitch, but I'd rather have Lillie or Lana, preferably Lillie because I like her outfit more.
>people thought ASH would win
Top kek
>>27874804
They will most likely live on in the shadows until XY&Z ends and then die out because there will be like 10 people who would care about the SM anime.
>>27874835
The problem with greninja is that it can't be oak'd. It would be the one leaving Ash for a stronger trainer, just like it left a dozen trainers before him. Since a scene like that would be absolutely crushing after Ash has promised Greninja that he will help it become as strong as it can, there's no believable way to get rid of the frog.
>>27874852
>gogo
>not moetube
You know what hurts the most? Ash basically lost to pixiv Red.
>>27874880
>Cameron above Alain
Look, this is bullshit don't get me wrong, but nothing will ever out-bullshit Cameron.
>>27874847
Amour was never meant to amount to anything but be cute and help Serena grow. Nothing more. I wonder if today's episode will get this through their heads instead of running to the mods.
>>27874654
Seriously and from every angry comments I read, I was curiouswhy Alain won the Kalos League? Is it because Ash-Greninja got overworked, unexpected overwhelmed or somewhat exhausted AGAIN?
>>27874859
Or both including Mallow. it will be a harem island.
>>27874730
Let's analyse exactly what went wrong.
Teamcomp
Noivern is shit, Goo is a shitter.
Awful fucking type spread and lack of basic coverage. Infernape would have helped round out this team, and literally anything would have been better than Goo
Lack of Switching
Don't fucking leave Noivern in against his hard counter
When he brought out Zard, the fuck didn't you go for Goo? Bide might have done serious damage, no risk of OHKO, Rain Dance helps both Pikachu and Greninja. Don't just fucking hope Pikachu will defeat all your fucking problems. He did, but still, plan that shit out better Satoshi
Don't build your team around memefrog and DODGE THE BLAST BURN!
No reason to win. Nigga make a deal with TR that they get PIkachu if you lose or something, can't win with no fukcing motivation
>>27874917
Greninja was the weak one here. Ash was the one supporting Greninja when they went up to shake Alan's hand.
Keep that OP clean, anons.
Good night.
>yfw 2020 is Japan Olympics

>mfw Ash vs Shota was actually more hype
So how would you rate this series out of ten?
I would personally rate it 1/10.
Hope lysandre destroys kalos.
BOTH KALOS AND FRANCE ARE SHIT NOW ANYWAYS
>>27874764
Isn't Ash's Charizard a manlet? I wonder if it's at least bigger than Alain's Charizard.
So how long before Alain gets retroactively disqualified for being involved with Team Flare
>someone paid actual money because he didn't want to miss Ash's victory, only to see Ash get BTFO'd again
>>27874815
Alan.
>>27874926
He was just stronger.
>>27874891
Ash probably didn't think he'd actually win. He got his hopes up in the beginning but once Greninja and Charizard were facing each other he gently came to the realization that he would lose. Of course if that didn't happen and he and Greninja were in full sync, he probably would've BTFO'd Charizard
>>27874919
he doesn't talk to his mom and i bet he lives on a mountain
he's canon red
>>27874880
Harrison was best because BEST STARTER won

>yfw Iris shows up right at the end
How is 2ch reacting to this?
When I die, I want the writers to lower me into my grave, just so they can let me down one last time.
>>27874967
HOT.
MONKEY.
DICK.
>>27874730
>>27874926
He lost to a fucking Blast Burn while using a water pokemon
>>27874730
Closest I have to "A long sigh"
That fight was pretty goddamn hype.
Using the Water Shuriken like a fuckin' sword to fight off Thunder Punch. Hell yeah.
>>27874730
I am actually feeling rather mixed.
Kekking because those freaking madmans actually did it, upset because not even at his finest they could let him win.
>>27874730
>>27874833
>Greninja can tank and take hits from Mega Evolved Sceptile (Grass Pokemon)
>Got beaten by a Charizard (Fire Type)
I know that the anime has forgotten the basic weakness but that's bullshit
>>27874815
They will just say she will wait and never talk about her again. Its that simple.
>>27874972
Just like Ash Greninja
On a serious note, Mega Zard and full powered Ash Greninja never fought before, so it's legit.
>>27874730
fucker used cut while Raindance was active and not water pulse/shuriken
>>27874930
>wanted to win for the sake of winning

There are no leagues next season, but im sure he will win the totem w/e battles in Alola.

In a few weeks, it'll probably be condensed in a single year long anger thread like the Zinnia Hate thread.
>>27874956
But he has Mairin/Manon
>>27874983
About as much of a shitstorm as here.
>>27874955
Not miss the episode, anon. Not not miss the victory.
Those 5$ allowed me to post a picture of the defeated frog before any of the other streams had reached that point, too. Worth it. >>27870898
>>27875006
He didn't use mizushuriken almost the whole time. Like what?

He lost to a blast burn that he managed to perfectly counter with the shuriken slammed into the ground half a minute ago

Hawlucha and Pikachu carried the team. Greninja pretends he is credit to team. All the other jobbed.

We should make a protest, close for one day every pokemon fan site, or Leave the next episode for let them see the low view... I think they broke with this, everything seemed great for the 20th Why didnt they let Made happy every fan?what want wrong?
that faggola here
this is fucking bullshit
I had so much hope going for Ash here, what the fuck happened? I thought he had it in the bag

fuck it I'm still watching but I'm seriously disappointed in all this, what the fuck
do we have any sort of hype for next week

>>27875081
Flare arc looks fucking hype as shit, anon.
Just give people a bit of time to dry off their tears.
>>27874926
He literally came out completely fresh and finished off a weakened pokemon and then took on another who literally got his ass blasted by Pikachu (who had already taken down two fucking pseudos on his own) and fucking jobbed to a fucking FIRE TYPE MOVE AS A FUCKING WATER TYPE IMMEDIATELY AFTER COUNTERING SAID FIRE TYPE MOVE BY FUCKING SMASHING THE GROUND WITH A FUCKING SHURIKEN
You faggots really think that Alain knows about Flare's genocide shit, he thinks Lysandre is harvesting the mega energy for peaceful purposes.
He and Ash are going to team up and battle TF in the next episodes

+she's in the concept art with Ash
2 -Lillie
+ is knowledgeable of stuff like moves/abilities
+ 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

5 -Serena

+ 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
- Ash losing the League re-affirms status quo
6 -Bonnie

I wasnt expecting Ash gets this far anyway, im not here for the league
>>27875010
Of course he is going to win the Alola League, he already won the Orange League.
What makes me mad is that he is going to get Iris 2.0 with the only difference being that she knows how to cook. She is probably going to be her only companion.
WHEN CAN I WATCH IT DAMMIT

spoon feed me a link senpai
You faggots reap what you sow. Stop falling for this shit every single gen.
I'd have been happy to eat my words and marathon the entire series. I don't like being right about shit like this. I can't say I'm as disappointed as any of you, since I was fully expecting this... But it still hurts, just a little. It always hurts.

Do you think there's sports radio in the Pokemon World with somebody ranting about Ash like this?

>begin developing Alain and Team Flare's arc literally the entire series
>the league is truncated significantly compared to past competitions
>Alain still doesn't know what his journey so far has been all about, and now everything he's worked for has been for the sake of helping the villains
You know what, this is actually fine. Perfectly fine. Because you know why? Because they've finally used the league as a storytelling device than a competition. You think it's an accident that Alain won immediately before everything he's worked for all series came to bite him in the ass? That his victory was immediately followed by betrayal.
Pokemon the anime has always been about the journey, and not who wins arbitrary sports tournament #550. Alain's been searching for his purpose, searching for meaning go everything he's been doing, and now it's all being rendered moot before his very eyes.
Ash and Alain have been opposite numbers since the start. Ash cares about winning, but it doesn't define him. Alain defined himself by his quest, and then by what he saw of himself in Ash, and now he's being set up to question all of that. Look at him after the battle, he's still sitting there pondering what it all meant while Ash is being greeted warmly by friends.
Even his desire to help Mairin and her Chespin invited disaster.
That's a hell of a lot more interesting to me than who is or isn't the champion. This whole thing is about exploring what this crazy adventure is all about, through a pure hearted boy who wants to gather friends and have new adventures being set opposite young man who doesn't even know what he's fighting for.
>>27875153
I'm betting Mallow is gonna play an older sibling role ala Brock
Ash and Alain will team up against TF

>>27874959

Personally I find it hilarious. But this is the only thing that makes me laugh about this bullshit.
Just when Pixiv finally starts loving and rooting for Ash, they get cockblocked by the very OC they created. Sweet irony.
>>27874748
Lillie > Luna > Lana > Mallow
In that order.

Ash is brown and mallow is brown..it's the most natural outcome really
IT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR

I dunno anon KEK
Check out the amount of dislikes from TV Tokyo on the new Pokemon XYZ preview. People are pissed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkDBCBiFsMs
>>27875144
Yfw TR at this point are only following ash to push him to get stronger and want to see him succeed so they too can move on to another trainer to stalk
Let's not forget that Ash won once!
>>27875223
Everyone is mad because the writers hinted at Ash winning the league multiple times throughout the seasons.
>>27874654
Thanks for putting the TF trailer OP
>>27874730
>mfw streams will be high quality again since all the faggots bogging them down will have dropped the show
>just in time for tiefu's return next week
Feelslike it make this hurt less
>fully evolved team
>everything gearing to the possibility of him winning
>makes it to the finals
>even has a super special nobody else has ever had it for fucking eons powerup for Ninja Frog
>scenes like >>27874839 basically going YOU BETTER NOT FUCKING LOSE
>still loses
So this is basically the writers' way of saying "he's never going to win guys just get over it", right?
I guess I can live with that.
>>27875065
Your bait got destroyed by the preview though. Serena goes with Manon to find Ash and Alan.
>>27875223
People are mad because Ash had everything going for him and they still made him lose because they are too scared to break tradition or something.
>>27875223
Because there can be no true despair without hope
You can only be comforted by one.
>>27874748
He can have them all.
I'm just hoping they'll go to Kiloude and meet the chatelaines before the series ends.
>>27875205
This is how I've mainly felt about Alan myself knowing full well that Ash will never win so Alan winning isn't so bad to me.
>>27875183
It's great that I'm going to be right about Amour not amounting to anything. Are the Amourfags leaving?
Newfag here. How far did he place? Top 4
>>27875259
No they didn't
>>27875144
James was actually cheering for him during the match.
How the fuck could you even let them down, Ash?
>>27874730
I wasn't even watching the anime.
hi guys i heard ash finally beat the league is this true hahaha no wait it isn't because the writers cucked you again for the 10000th time in 20 years hahahaha
>>27875144
>Ash lost and stayed in the 2nd place (at least he did his best) is like Serena did during her final Pokemon Contest-like competition episodes ago
>Clemont was right about Ash going to lose
The anime is only good for seeing new pokémon from new gens animated and to see hot as fuck pokégirls
If you watch for any other reason, you're an eternal manchild
>>27874730
>>27875280
Top 2, but it doesn't matter when the winner is a fucking edgefag with shit pants.
>>27875280
Grand finals.
>>27875194
>Mental image of Tenko's minus 6 goals rant but applied to Ash's loss instead.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfgVPIrutvw (aforementioned rant)
TOP KEK
>>27875203
Where's the lie?
There is a Kalos league victory
>>27875280
runner-up. That's why people are mad
>>27875269
so?
if the majority is discontent with the outcome just boycott the show
its all about the principle
10 to 1, this is the face ash has if he wins the Pokemon League.
A face of disbelief and despair.
I'D RATHER WANT TEAM FLARE INTERRUPT THE FIGHT HOLY FUCKING SHIT

I'm sad he lost, anon. Of course I am. I'm just not super pissmad about it, and I never bought that subscription specifically to see his victory, but to see the conclusion.
>>27874730
WHO WANTS TO WATCH THE SUFFERING AGAIN?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkcPNEuboNY
>>27875081
there is no hype
just tears
>>27875144
Team Rocket loves him the most I think.
Note that whenever they're successful they always stick around within like a mile of the crime scene waiting for Ash to catch up.
>>27874730
>>27874974
hes never gonna win, why haven't you guys realized that, its all about maintaining the status quo, come on guys.
>>27875298
t. manchild
I don't understand. Wouldn't making Ash and his Greninja win be a better advertisement for SM? Why would TPC/the show's producers force OLM to keep the status quo?
The fact that Alola apparently doesn't have a league made this the best time to have the show progress a little.
>he fucking lost
I told you guys they would never let him win. Marketing tool.
>>27875059
It wasn't Goodra's fault it got fucking Guillotined, who the fuck uses that move outside Paul in that one episode
>>27875312
Are you stupid or something?
>>27875296
In fact,Ash lost to Alan
>>27875277
I'm still hoping Sina and Dexio show up in the final team flare arcGive my waifu a voice ;_;

So now that the league is out of the way, who's ready for the arc they've actually been hyping up?

And before you make any accusations, I'm a complete dawnfag through and through. Eat shit.
so wheres that pic from last season showing all his losses up to then?
we need to update it
>>27875338
>I won this time but I want to win more and make more friends
Why they can't do this
>tfw Ash just broke everyone's smiles

If I was a manchild I'd identify with Ash and baw my eyes out over him not winning right now, like 90% of /vp/
But I'm not that pathetic. In fact, I'm glad he lost. Fuck his shitty memefrog.

Haven't you noticed that Alain is, how should I say, different?

This
>>27875205
You made me feel a bit better, anon. I think I'll go sleep now.
>>27875205
No, it's a better story. I like how it went down, and I like how Manon, Alan's motivation, was behind a literal pane of glass with their mutual captor, while he dug deep to win for her.
And I like how Ash's friends were doubting him, and how Ash didn't spare a thought for them, and he lost. It was good. It just hurts.
>>27875359
>Bulbapedia says Alain will battle Team Flare
Stop it, he is teaming up with Ash, get over yourselves.
>>27875159
I don't think Alain will find Lysandre's true intentions, betray him and ally with Ash
>>27875325
Team Rocket, Misty and Brock were the only main characters to ever truly love Ash
everyone else is just a shitty clone of previous friends
Goodbye, best crew. It was fun while it lasted.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkDBCBiFsMs
>>27875434
Tell us more anon, we deserved this
>>27875419
It's basically confirmed Ash and Alain team up because Alain is not evil, it's just Ashfags wanting revenge.
>>27875370
You try to make the Pokémon anime something it is not.
It's not one big storyline.
It's just a reset every gen and then the same shit happens over and over. Ash boxes most mons, goes into a new region all fresh, travels with one or two new characters, sees every new pokemon, wins all the gyms and fights the league, loses and moves on again.
It's a show meant for 10-12 year olds. They grow up, then new ones are in that range and they get served the same story.
Go watch some real anime if you want something else.
>tfw when I could care less about the results and I only watched because the show is fun and comfy as hell.
>tfw the Flare Arc looks fantastic but theres no one to hype about it with.
That's what I'm sad about.
>>27875368
>MISTY NEVER ACHIEVES HER DREAMS
>MAY NEVER ACHIEVES HER DREAMS

This is so fucking depressing of a show.
>>27875394
I would have been fine with him winning if it was with pikachu.
Them forcing ashninja the meme frog was shit though, glad it lost to a weakened mon it had a type advantage against.
Ash losing might have actually been a bad move if they want the anime to continue. People are starting to get it in their heads that he's never going to be allowed to win and they might stop watching the show in frustration.
>>27875323

>>27875325
They do, they've been after him for more time than anyone, they understand his passions, his faults, and how he functions as a person. They even fucking saved his ass from falling to death in the third movie with Entei and Unown.
If anything he's their real rival.

>this pretensions cunt was 100% right

>>27875420
That's a little too much
>>27875457
It's the writers's fault for destroying our hype and hopes and dreams
>>27875453
It's my guess since I saw it from the scans about the next week's episode
>>27875400
I'll admit I found her to be cancerous, but she was a source of hope for some very ignorant anons. A hope that we might see Satoshi settle down and cease his never-ending journey of failure.
Kalos League finale does not bode well for any of this.
This almost seems a little mocking now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9W4dtXrSj4
>>27875457
Skip it anon, better hope lysandre destroys kalos
>>27875422
Serena was shit.
Korrina was ok.
Last train home was a shitty ending that should have only been used for like 2 episodes at most instead of the entire season.
>BUT THERES HINTS GUYS
>HE CANT LOSE
I agree they set him up. Even I got hopeful after they gave him a GEN 7 MECHANIC. But he still lost to zard X after fucking losing two other times to it.
Now he'll probably rematch after the flare arc and win, not that it matters.
I hope greninja gets boxed forever.
>The red giant water shuriken didn't have the black in effect

>>27875370
>I-i'm not even an amourfag but you gotta admit that amourshipping becoming canon would be amazing!
Everyone sees straight through your bullshit, shipper cancer.
>>27875461
The show is actually mirroring the real world, because eventually you have to give up the things you like without ever achieving anything significant in them and grow up
>>27875465
This was literally the worst. I was getting fucking hyped when the opening started to play, it's like they're doing this shit on purpose.
>>27874730
>>27875482
They're always there for him. I don't think they even do actual crimes unless they know he's in a position to stop them.
The more I read this thread the more I feel like Ash winning the league is more about you guys who want it to happen than Ash himself.
Lemme tell you something. If he wins the damn league, he's going to go to the next region and start over as if nothing happened. That is literally what would happen.
He wouldn't go on to become a Pokemon Master. Which has never been defined beyond exceedingly vague broad strokes.
He wouldn't be inducted into the elite four.
Best case scenario he'd get to fight Diantha and then lose, and then you fucks would complain about THAT.
I don't see what him winning would add to anything beyond giving you all your arbitrary satisfaction. It wouldn't change the anime one bit.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it's probably to reprogram the perfectionist mentality in Japan that everything has to be fucking perfect or you have to kill yourself.
From your grades, to your job, to potential partner. You'll never achieve your ideal goals and it's okay to do your best and settle with what you get.

He was obviously gonna lose in the other leagues. They hinted at Ash winning loads of times, and for the first time ever, he made it to the fucking finale.
>>27875205

SHITSTAINS
What people don't get about this is that the perceived quality of the show hinged upon a successful resolution of Ash's plot. The good episodes were good because they hinted at and relied upon a league victory to give proper payoff.
Now his entire journey is pointless. It's like a blowjob that ends with your balls being crushed. The sucking was nice, but the quality of the blowjob as a whole depends on the climax, and if your balls get broken then, as a whole, the blowjob was awful. It sucked dick.
Pokemon XY and XYZ are the blowjobs of Pokemon.

Alright. But it didn't feel as intense and there weren't actual visual cuts to any of them. I dunno, fuck if I can actually understand japanese.
>>27875557
Ash vs. Paul is dethroned. To Ash vs. Shota though.
Also would it have all just been better if Ash was held up longer by Takuto and he got disqualified? Would it have been less painful?
First Bleach, and now Pokémon
fuck everything
>>27875514
It's this little thing called payoff. A well written story usually has a cathartic climax. But the Pokemon Company decided it's more important to keep status quo than to have a satisfying conclusion. That's what happens when you base an anime off of a never ending franchise.
>>27875365
>Lysandre Hitler
LOL
>>27875552
It happens every season. Every league is a fresh start.
"Becoming over confident"? That's not somethings he's done for long periods since Kanto. You'd just complain about him being regressed again.
the moral of the story is: never get your hopes up for anything, live your life expecting the worst

I definitely am since Alan's involvement will get a conclusion after this arc before S/M comes and his story is more interesting than Ash's dull repetition. At least Alan won't overstay his welcome in the series unlike Ash and his fanbase.

You have this become a show about whether or not he wins the league and he becomes Goku. That's it. He's just the hero who wins.
You want him to become an even more static character than he already is
IT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR
HE DOESN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE HE FUCKING WANTS IT
ITS LIKE HURRR UHRRRRR DURRR WHATS THIS
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Alan won and he just started collecting badges a few months ago because Ash told him to do so. This is fucking bullshit.

>>27875695
It's not going back to normal. If you think this you're a delirious amourshipper who is bound to get your balls crushed.
>>27875370
People got shit for so long about the Ash/Serena "romance" would not lead to something or how status quo wouldn't be broken because Ash would still lose the league. The hivemind mentality here was terrible. If you dared say that it was just a bunch of people bitching to the mods about "shitposting". I hope the people that were always complaining to the mods can wake up now.
>>27875687
That's because he doesn't want it. He literally entered because he wanted to battle Ash again instead of just challenging Ash to a battle after he was already champion.

>>27875683
>You want him to become an even more static character than he already is
Winning once wouldn't make him static.
It would prove he actually has what it takes and didn't get cock blocked by actual bullshit for once.
Instead, he suffers a loss even more bullshit than tobias.

>>27875454
10-12 year olds can easily see through this pile of shit and get incredibly bored with it. The series has more problems than just Satoshi losing every single run. The end of one run is simply indicative of how the next run will go.
10-12 years old is around the age when children start to crave more from their shows. 3-5 years of the exact same episode formula with the exact same characters and the exact same outcomes broken up by gym battles and league tournaments you know the conclusion to every 10 - 20 episodes will not even come close to satisfying this.
In reality, the Pokemon anime is more aimed at small children. Single digits. I suppose it's not a bad thing, but many fans would like something better. At least mix it up with new characters like the toku series do.
TL;DR stop defending garbage because muh kids show.

>he thinks the audience of the show are 10-12
try lower anon, there's a reason Pokemon is lumped with Doraemon and Sazae-chan.
Just further proof that he should've gotten a mega stone and brought out his charizard rather than use this special snowflake forme naruto frog garbage

>winning ONE regional league is the equivalent of becoming a super-saiyan
Fuck off, none of the other tournament challenge shows have this problem
>>27875758
Who fucking cares about team flare? They're going to lose like any other anime bad guys. Ash will beat them, possibly best Alan (not that it matters anymore) then go to alola region.
He should be fucking replaced so writers can make a new character without the failure aspect every season.
>>27875673
No it doesn't.
Kalos might witness Ash asking down Alan on live tv during Flare and crown him the new champ
Kalos might cry foul and demand a second league free from Flare's shit
But it won't matter. Ash had his chance and the writers fucked it. Any instance of him becoming champion after Flare will feel like a copout and cheap.
>>27874952
He's as big as Iris's Dragonite. Ash's Charizard has always been huge, and he grew bigger after his training was finished. All that's left is for Ash to fucking use him for an actual battle. He makes pseudos look as easy as Pikachu did against Alan.
>>27875435
Four actually, they were in Kanto during the Unova league.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=91308
Just Google it
>>27875807
Were Charicific Valley Charizards just abnormally huge then? I thought he was a runt.
>>27875273
No he can't, he lost the Kalos league so the fucker can only have one.

Try reading the rest of the post you retard
>>27875785
Read the rest of my post, I already acknowledged this. It's the other faggot who claimed its target was 10-12.
>>27875786
IT DOESN'T MATTER YOU FOOL
ASH IS NOT A REAL PERSON
HE COULD HAVE WON WITH A FUCKING CATERPIE IF THE WRITERS WANTED IT
But they did not.
>>27874654
Oh, fuck off. Ash was supposed to win.
>>27875695
Until XY ends.
This makes Tobias look like nothing in comparison
but he WILL be the Hero of Kalos, r-right guys?
>the writers can't have him get two titles at on go, Ash can't be a gary stu.
At least that's what I believe.
>>27875862
says who
>>27875862
No, he wasn't.
I can't believe people actually hive minded about him winning the league and hooking up with Serena. Embarrassing.
>>27875878
Says me. He had that faggot on the ropes.
Now now, I know the chances of anyone seeing this aren't great but... what actually happened that made Z2 go crazy and turn red like that? What's the actual reason? Also what did he say there?
>>27875785
Sazae-san's primary audience is 40+ year olds, you dumbass
>>27875796
Gary, you already gave up becoming a Pokemon Master!
>>27875877

But it WONT FUCKING MATTER.

DORAGON KUROU
>5 edgemons and an Unfeazant
Fuckin' Kek.
>>27875863
This.
Tobias was total bullshit, but at least Ash proved his strength by giving him absolutely the most pressure of anyone else in all of Sinnoh.
Kalos was some faggot with a charizard who somehow caught and trained up a team between meeting Ash and the league. More bullshit than fucking his BW loss to an actual retard.
>>27875903
The mega energy, I believe. This is what Lysandre needed it for.
Z2 is also being fueled by its anger at humans.
it all meant nothing didn't it
>>27875877
Who cares about some medal. Hero of Kalos, Kalos Queen, these titles mean nothing compared to the whole Pokemon League Champion thing they've been hyping up since Indigo.
>>27875903
They pumped Z2 full of the mega energy they've been gathering, as far as I could tell.
Z2 was essentially saying "Kill all humans" when he was flipping out.
>>27875683
But Goku loses constantly, even in Z. To the point where he has to flat out admit sometimes that he's not strong enough. Like with Cell, though he had Gohan as his trump card, or Beerus, where he had nothing.
Only time Goku 'always wins' is the Z movies and GT, which nobody counts because they make no sense and are shit.
>>27875786
>wanting the finals to be charizard v charizard
he still would have lost and it would have been even worse to watch
I actuallyrespect the show for having the balls to do this
>>27875877
Won't matter since everybody will drop the rest of the season in a rage
>>27875903
Ash losing the league
>>27875989
>doing the same thing that's been done for nearly 20 years is "having balls"
Ash would have won if he kept Imperfect Greninja and it performed the same it did against the second Megazard fight.
>>27875989
The writers are going to have to go into hiding now
>>27875963
>>27875980
Shit seriously? I could've sworn I heard him mentioning kizuna genshou in there as well but l was too pissed about Ash's loss to tell. I just wanna get some confirmation of KG Zygarde.
>>27875991
The kalos league was nothing but a smokescreen.
I heard explosions, then....
THEY PLAYED US LIKE A DAMN FIDDLE!!
>>27876015
Ash would have won if instead of accidentally triggering ultimate orange shuriken, he'd just yanked the regular thing off his back and stuck it into the ground in front of him.
The big issue is that his finishing move skimmed over the encroaching Blast Burn.
>>27875989

The writer is oni.
>>27876058
>ratings
Scott pls
>>27875877
Since it's seems that Alan will finally rejoin the dark side...I hope something like that for the team flare arc :
>Satoshi crush edgy Alan and Lysandre during team flare Arc (Greninja and Pikachu VS M-Charizard and M-Gyarados)
>Alan is disqualified from the Kalos League after that event
>Satoshi is now the new winner of the league and Hero of Kalos
Anyway, I hope the arc will redeem that defeat.
Lets do a rundown of how Greninja vs Charizard went ok, well skip to the part where their mega'd and syncroed.
>episode returns from commercial break
>IKUZ STARTS

>>27875682
Fucking nothing. That's the problem.
cya guys i'm gonna drown my sorrow in junk food, it will help against the pain of knowing I will die before Ash ever wins a league
Reminder that Alain is like 3-0 over Ash now and they will NEVER have a rematch.

>They literally all do
Actually, they don't. Either they let the MC win something of significance every once in a while because only un-imaginative morons think that wining one thing makes you unstoppable, or the series periodically changes MCs so they can have their precious noob status to work with
Aadamaant..
>>27876091
Kubo didn't give closure to the most important character? Yeah, ok, I mad.
>>27876082
you know full fucking well it will be a massive disappointment as well
Why the fuck do they even need him for this? Why is he the one strapped in if it's Greninja with the inherent power?
Why would I even keep watching this lmao
Have fun to the people left here after this week, I sincerely envy how you guys can just not care or justify it with some elaborated mental gymnastics and just enjoy it. I really do.
>>27876141
What?
>>27876161
Make us happy.. you're good at that..
>all these "people" suddenly invested in the anime even though they probably never watched XY to begin with
>>27876161
Can you... save us?
How do you feel, my man?
>>27876153
a-at least he'll be the hero of kalos!
>>27876082
the more probable scenario would be:
>Ash defeats Alain with a speech on the level of TouMAN's.
>betrays Lysandre after realising how much he fucked up.
>After resolving Team Flare's chaos. He issues a rematch of the finals with Diantha's blessing as Kalos Champion.
>Could be possible that Ash wins there.
That's what I hope.
w0w
>>27876191
What about all these people who have been here since the start of XY, following every episode here on /padt/ before it was /padt/
And now it's ending and it hurts.
Pretty much three years with you guys.
>>27876058
it will be high. Everybody's watching how Ash will do. Next week's ratings however....
>>27876123
Dude, there was absolutely no tension to fucking DBZ or Yugioh's tournies after the protagonist won more than a few times.
That's why both shows wisely focused on the adversaries and higher stakes than "gee, I wonder if Goku/Yugi wins X tournament". The Cell Games weren't even a tournament, they were "everyone takes turns trying to kill the villain."
And Goku and Yugi STILL warned reputations for being boring and invincible
>gives him a power that needed to master, harder than mega evolution, goes beyond all bond
>lost to an edgy guy who doesn't give a shit about the league
I'm actually quiting this anime.
This director is literally a devil to be honest.
He everyone's hopes high for 3 years even the normies started coming back and then he pulls an unconvincing loss.
He must be having fun harvesting all of those negative emotion
>>27876182
We have 4 separate subs from 4 separate parts of the series in the works
>>27876202
More or less like this >>27874805
It hurt a bit. But the anal devastation from all these people that showed up just to watch the league is funny as fuck and makes me feel a bit better.
>>27876245
>even the earth is pissed Ash lost
>>27876144
Yeah. I got kicked in the balls by Pokemon and then Bleach took a shit on my face.
Maybe Arc-V can save all of this, from today on it's the only piece of japanese media I'll be consuming.
>>27876292
What about the japs?
>>27876272
>more than a few times.
For fucks sake, there isn't even going to be a league next region!
>>27876292
Oh yeah about this >>27876309
I've been in the butt of all disappointments these last months and I feel like I'm used to it now....
>>27876309
japs are nuts
You JUST KNOW that the directors know exactly what their doing and will have ash win something in this team flare arc and try to say 'oh see everybody its fine how bout some alola'. terrible
>>27876292
>But the anal devastation from all these people that showed up just to watch the league is funny as fuck and makes me feel a bit better.
Oh, the furious shitposting and the fact the writers actually fucked it all up like the madmans they are is glorious, I'll have to agree. But it still hurts me some. I guess that's how it feels when you have a Choice Band Talonflame use Brave Bird against a knocked-off Chansey.
>>27876145
No.
I have still faith.
Maybe I sound delusional.
But I will not give up until the very end!

I still think there are 2 versions of this episode, the other one being the giant shuriken with black shit where Alan gets absolutely btfo
So how long until someone reports this thread to the FBI?
Will Satoshi win Alola tournament? There is no league so no reason to lose.

>>27876394
They're reacting a lot. The 2ch thread exploded. Way too many posts to really get a proper overview.
Hi guys. Like the majority of the board I knew that there was no way in hell Ash would win the league, same with Serena staying.
How you guys managed to create a circlejerk and actually convince yourself that he would win is amazing, and your tears today are delicious.
>>27876309

Based as always, Adamant.
>>27876453
Oh, I see. Can you tell which side exploded the most? No doubts 2ch is in flames, but then even /sp/ had a thread about the League.
>>27876464
You know it's largely the people that started watching the anime last month that are so pissmad, right?
>>27876487
But it is not league! He can win!
>>27876430
It sounds plausible sort of
>>27876502
I'm sure most of us are hyped as well but today's disappointment is just too much
>>27876517
Don't start this stupid damage control now retard. You aren't everyone. Don't make assumptions just because they are convenient to your ideology stupid fuck.
>>27876477
Where is this
>>27876309
They're mad/sad/disappointed.
There were deathflags all over the place.
Did you really watch show just for the league?
Enjoy journey, journey is still continues.
I hope padt will not die with start of SM.
>>27876575
Where is what? The animator? Is itt. This images are off the segment that airs right after the episode.
>>27876507
Definitely 4chan, but that has more to do with the more... I dunno, "outgoing" culture here. The Japanese are posting their own thoughts, the aren't being flooded by people that come to laugh and mock.
>>27876517
>You know it's largely the people that started watching the anime last month that are so pissmad, right?
It's actually everyone. You have people who jumped days or even hours ago AND people who've believed Ash had it in the bag extremely disappointed and mad at the outcome.
And really now, it's not like the people who just jumped the boat had no reason to rage. I could call the outcome of that match "bullshit", but that wouldn't give a full draw of what it actually meant.

>>27876517
man listen I've watched this shit since the fucking beginning
I mean sure then I wasn't exactly invested in the league or whatever, mainly how action-y it was
then this faggola got older and understood it moreeven though it lost me in BW but who can blame me BW was destined to be shite
legit had high hopes for XY when I saw the first few episodes
now I mean fuck
how the hell do you hype for anything after a heavy punch to the gut like this
I mean for god's sake I'll keep watching, I want to see how all this TF shit plays out along with how they'll handle everything post-TF, but this is just harsh even by the anime's track record
>>27876517
its everyone who isn't desperately engaging in damage control
>>27876307

>>27876623
There will always be deathflags, but they will only be known after the fact. You can't escape them because without them there wouldn't be any suspense.

>>27876801
Setting up SM anime, obviously. It will be Rockruff filler and Alolamon #766 filler until the final episode when Ash says goodbye to XY family.
>>27876753
No, but I go to /a/ and laugh at people thinking Rukia had even the slightest chance of ending up with Ichigo.

Do you unironically think people would just watch for no reason without having interest? Especially about, you know, Pokemon?

Even in a pinch, Meowth or the others will do things like save Pikachu's life without even a moment of doubt. Won't even try to take advantage of the situation afterwards. I'm convinced they're just counting coup at this point.

Obviously, but there's 5 "Pokemon anime dicussion thread"s up now, 3 above bump limit. All except this one is "lol salty tears xd" shitposter ones.
Well to be quite honest it was the most bullshit lost, tops cameron.
Pikachu was tanky as fuck while Greninja just flat out fainted
IkuZ stopping was a major deathflag and lost my hype
