>Summary 2:
>"Zygarde Fights Back! The Final Battle for Kalos!!"
>Satoshi and his friends go up against the legendary megalith in order to save the world. With their companions opening the way for them, Satoshi and Alan finally make their way into the megalith and rescue Hari-san.

This is confirmation /padt/. Chicken-chan is Serena's daughter 100%.

>>28387898
Not gonna lie. If the partner turns out to be the blue girl which everyone counts out, it's going to be a fun few weeks afterwards with all the Lillie/Chicken/Mallow BTFO shitposts.

I want Serena to get a new anime design and continue next season because she's Ash's endgame crush. The customization feature returning in the games is the biggest indication Serena can stay.

>>28387653
So denialfags had me almost convinced that Alan cheated during the final.
Then I watched the episode with subs only to find out that he did not cheat. His mega stone didn't absorb power to have a more powerful Mega Charizard, but was just sending energy for Zygarde's control

>>28388429
>The customization feature returning in the games is the biggest indication Serena can stay.
Her change had nothing to do with the customization options, her hair and outfit isn't even available in the games.

>>28388429
This idea is great, but i don't have any real expectatives, i will just enjoy what we got and stop thinking about the future episodes, people takes predictions to seriously here.

Whenever the anime ends, it will be without glory. Probably a cancellation in the middle of a series, a little after a fourth gym.

Not him but it's true. His mega bracelet was modified to send energy to Team Flare, had nothing to do with his based Charizard.

>>28388601
It pains me to think that it's most probable way.
Such a shitty world we live in.

>>28388546
But it's not subbed by anyone that actually knows Japanese yet, dumbass.

>>28388630
Why is Charizard just the best and strongest Pokemon?

>>28388655
What schadenfreude? These people have been shitposting nonstop about random crap for over two years straight now, it has nothing to do with actual reactions to anything.

>>28388673
I know Japanese, moron.
And it's not subbed in English, but it is in other languages by good sources.

>>28388700
Well, it seems whatever they shitpost about, they think it always hurts us, and even if it doesn't they get off to that feeling.
IDs would really be a blessing here.

It kinda sucks that pokemon are so well know, isn't it?

>>28388694
Mary Sue powers because anime staff want to do it, and they can, because the anime is their property.

>>28388673
>>28388762
Or you can use your brain. What good is for Team Flare if Alain wins? They did not give a shit. They wanted Alain to battle Mega Evolution to absorb the energy.

Plus anyone with a little Anime experience can understand what they're saying. Later in episode 40 Lisandre also tryes to get Ash's bond power in order to control Zygarde for some reason. And he says multiple times that they used Mega Shinka power to control Zygarde.

>>28388579
Uhh no it had everything to do with the customisation options.

>>28388786
You're actually talking about Greninja. At least Charizard requires 2 stones to evolve.

>>28388762
>I know Japanese
>Then I watched the episode with subs only to find out...

Lie hard 2: Lie harder

Aren't you all doing the same?

Today is a boring day in this thread, i miss the fun episodes.

>Greninja's only purpose was to give Lysander an excuse to kidnap Ash

>>28388892
No, our language is a language that gets competent subs.

>>28388851
How is that a problem?

>>28388945
If you know Japanese, why do you need to watch shitsubs to find things out?

>>28388874
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5q9CZpFX_Uc

If you are Italian of course. Good grammar, sentences you can verify, plus comes before 4chan's suggestion and translates in the same way.

I guess it's a good sources. It also has episode 41.

A shame you can only speak English.

>people still watch the ashnime

My sides.

>>28387898
Worst thing? Everything in this post is happening and i can see the final part happening too.

>>28388937
Sure, live and die in your small world.

>>28388961
>Youtube
Shit by default. Probably Google Translate.

>>28388959
Because my Japanese is not 100% accurate. I can get most sentences because I've been watching anime for 20 years, but I've never studied it.
Plus I want to see what happens so I watch RAW first, then I double check if I got things correctly.

Maybe that's why I can understand RAW anime almost fine.

>>28388984
It's hardsubbed and the grammar and the names are too good to be Google Translated. It also uses Italian move names and good punctation.
Those are probably the best italian subs I've seen in a while.

Being this stubborn.
Fine, wait for your trusted source then, but it's like I'm saying, sorry. Your plot version makes no logic sense at all. Also because Alain fights Lisandre in ep 41 and his Charizard is not stronger then normal.

Wait, so the fact that he cheated was a lie spread by ashfags?

>>28388961
>Youtube

Any group that uploads their releases to youtube is shit by default, regardless of the quality of their translations.

>>28389105
Yes.
I don't know if the other version is true or not (it surely makes more sense), but the cheating plot was a speculation based on frames, not words.

>>28389105
It was a lie spread by morons.

Calling it now, after Clemont finishes repairing Clembot, He goes off on an adventure to Johto with Bonnie. Then he gets a few cameo episodes with Brock and Cilan.

>>28389115
I don't really give a shit since the translation is fine.
I guess I do regard the quality of the translation above all. Plus the video quality is not bad, so I can't complain.

>>28388961

He was being used to control Zygarde.

Plus there is no flashback of him fighting Ash, so there was nothing wrong with that fight.

Think of the most lame ending you can imagine for the Flare arc.

>>28389394
>Plus there is no flashback of him fighting Ash, so there was nothing wrong with that fight.
Yeah, that had me on guard.
Ashfags are liars.

Explain why there is no flashback of him fighting Ash in episode 40.
That battle was fine. Ash lost. He will probably defeat Lisandre and Alain will recognise Ash is strong, but nothing more.

Alain did not cheat. We can even say he was underpowered because most energy was sent to Team Flare.

Ashfags won't like it.

>>28389684
I'm going to be honest here. Each one of those (Ash winning a league and Ash winning a league) are baits that work only once, but still enough to hook viewers, even if separate and on their own, but for some reason they decided to blow all their load in one series. How come?

>>28389784

>>28389822
We did fall for it a second time though. Most expected him to win the Sinnoh league prior to Tobias introduction, hence the huge backlash then. The XY league was the second time.

We got fooled twice. You know what they say, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. But fool me a third time?"

Forget it

>>28389763
>they're unlikely to do this whole shipping thing again with any future female lead either
As someone who slurps down harem anime like it was going out of style, it's not really hard to imagine them doing ship tease with one girl after another. The MC and a girl can kiss and sleep together and they'd still manage to ship tease the guy with a brand new girl the next volume and the fans will eat it up. Japan has done more shameless things.

>yfw pokemon go the harem wish fulfillment light novel route and just tease one girl after another shamelessly

>>28389763
Or they could have Ash fall for the girl instead for once

>>28389831
W H E W L A D

>>28389763
It's not like Amour ever progressed though. They just kept it at Serena being embarrassed over her crush for unknown reasons and the occasional inspirational pep talk.

>>28389822
Because the writers know people will still watch, 'MUH CHILDHOOD' and whatever the fanbase likes to delude themselves no matter how long it goes for. The writers will just do something different again, the deluded fans will think it'll go somewhere, status quo, rinse and repeat. It's a cycle anon, just in different regions. /padt/ doesn't represent the entire fanbase.

>>28389878
That never happens in these series unless its endgame and almost at the end of the series, which SM isn't. And even if it happpened, you know it will end up the same as everything else.

If you want romance, go watch some haremshit, not a children's commercial ad.

Accept that Pokemon was never about Ash becoming a Master or winning something or getting laid. It's about the qt girls, the CotD episodes, and soulless corporate shilling.

Man, all the little 7-12 year old kids watching XY in Japan will be heartbroken when Serena leaves, especially the little girls.

Why would the writers do this to young kids?

Children's anime always makes semen demon female characters.

NO EXCEPTIONS

If you want a reason, it's likely that the animators know they're on a dead on career, so they might as well have fun with it.

this team flare arc has been objectively shit from a writing standpoint I took the bait and thought these writers could actually write good story but nope

>who ever wins, actually wins a three-year long trip to the trash can

>>28390203
I can't complain too much since I'm sure there are clear boundaries to what the writers (Tomioka in this case) can do with it, but yeah, things like the battles have been really disappointing. I suppose it's mostly a matter of wanting to cram too much into a very limited time, I've seen it happen in tons of anime.

Hey, 5th gym is Clemont's and it was one of the best. Agreed on Valerie, maybe you mean the rather uneventful stretch between Valerie's gym and Anistar (in addition to Laverre itself).

>>28390635
The Island Challenge is also part of the way to become a Master, and even then, there is a reason for the league existence in the anime: to prevent Ash from successfully completing the plot of the games, so that he can go to the next region free of burden and responsibilities.

They will make something for Ash to lose so that he can repeat the cycle once more, and you're setting yourself for disappointment if you think otherwise.

>>28391014
Not that anon, but the first two episodes are really good.

The only reason why these threads still exist is because of Serena

>>28390943
How old is Manon supposed to be? She seems incredibly naive and clingy. Shauna, Millefeui, and Serena all seem to have more sense than her. Not to mention she has no tits or curves.

>>28390988
>>28391045
How will you live without /padt/? It's your life now since you got nothing else to live for.

>>28390793
>>28391028
That's cause Serena is too shy and spills spaghetti whenever she gets a chance with Satoshi. Amour can't progress only on Serena's own, not even the support of other characters for her can help her with her crush.

>>28391045
We're all just waiting for Sun and Moon news.

>>28391043
Of Bleach? Maybe if you consume several litres of bleach before watching it.

>>28391077
But the question is, why did the character who were written to know not do more to help her? Bonnie has known since XY080 and hasn't done shit. Shauna has known for a while too and doesn't do anything to help her when she meets up with Serena. Only Millefeui really pushed her and she rarely appeared.

>>28391087
Of XY, thought you were referring to that. As for the other anon, I assume by 'start' of Bleach he means the Soul Society, although it's not really the beginning.

All the characters who 'know' were in Omode-written episodes and the trait was pretty much ignored by every other writer in their own episodes. It seems obvious she was having a little fun but that it wasn't going to be a general subplot.

There was never hope to begin with. Amour stayed stagnant for entirely too long. Serena never showed an active interest in building up the confidence to confess despite Millefeui's threats.

Amour seems like more of a "HAHA look how cute Serena is when she is embarrassed about her crush on Ash", and less of "How will this pair end up getting develop and end up getting together?"

Despite hating each other more than Serenafags and shitposters, Takara and Bandai have struck an agreement where Nozomi will be the female companion for Alola, bringing Vivit, the two telephone shoppers and Togepi 2.0 with her as they travel the Alola region with Ash looking for Happy Hunter stars. There are no other female companions and no attempt has been made to merge both universes in any way that makes sense.

Adamant's interpretation doesn't hold more value than anybody else's. What she was going to say is arguable, although to me it seems the dub's interpretation (of her wanting the usual Ash back) is the most likely.

>>28392404
Can happen but very unlikely. Most likely on Monday.

Pokefan when?

>>28392421
No she doesn't, Dawn's real lesson would be to not depend so much on one person.

>>28392586
I rephrased it differently, I meant in Serena's case, that she needs to establish a proper bond with Ash rather than just acting shy all the time.

But still, just because Dawn can do it alone, doesn't mean that she will win. Her overconfidence and too much self-reliance on herself screwed her over in the beginning,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQqHx5LnfiI

If Ash is in Alola with no Serena, that's it, I'm done. I can't sit through a show that's going to go on beyond 20 years with no ending in sight. So Ash will probably be around 30 years then.

You mean her not confessing, throwing out 3 years of build-up?

>>28392708
I meant that that would be the lesson for Serena, she depends too much of approval of one person. Also from a non-shipper point of few it's better to not want it appear as if she is almost taken by hanging around one man too much.

>>28392881
>thinking Serena is only about amour

shitposter-kun pls. She had more character development than any othe girl before her besides May.

That one guy who used to just draw cute Serena stuff has gone off the deep end.

>>28392833
>>28392775
Its not just Serena herself, its that her ship is designed to give Ash an ending. If they drop the canon ship they built up then Ash will never end.

>>28392775
Not that anon, but I started watching XY because anons told me there was a new girl that was romantically interested in Ash and that he was a fucking pro and and pretty much had the league in his hands. Once this season ends that's it for me.

>>28392926
>She had more character development than any othe girl before her besides May.
Not him but you are wrong. Dawn and May blew her out of the water, She is on par with Iris

>>28392900
During Dawn's cameo in BW, Ash was upset that Dawn wasn't giving him the attention he wanted from her. He was even more upset when Dawn teased him about being such a kid along with Iris.

Yeah, in Serena's case, she needs to become more self-reliant like Dawn. She relies too much on Ash and I feel their relationship is more like Serena leeching off of Ash, rather than strong chemistry like between Ash and Dawn.

We have this amazing villain arc, arguably the best one yet, with awesome shit happening all across the board yet still people only talk about irrelevant stuff like Amour that doesn't have anything to do with the plot or the anime. Actually looking forward to that fresh start that is SM because the cesspool that is /padt/ will be cleansed

>>28393000
In BW Ash was like a Puppy looking for the attention of Dawn, in the end he got it

>>28393000
Serena is too hesitant to be honest with her feelings for Ash. That holds their relationship back a bit.

>>28391767

So, when did you join /padt/? 3 - 4 weeks ago?

>>28393483
I joined /padt/ after learning that Serena is going to fall in love with Clemont after the Flare arc.

Everyone on Bulbagarden says Serena should leave, and on Serebii people are mocked for saying Serena should stick around.

I'm glad I don't post on those forums anymore, but its sad to see the fandom in shambles.

>>28390234
Will you people ever understand that its possible to enjoy a show without pretending that this writing is anything to get excited about?

When the fuck does this come out?

>>28393583
I can't wait for the Lilie is UB-01 MEME to die. Its retarded

>>28393017
>amazing villain plot
A little better than Team Galactic.
>anime plot
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>28393670
I don't think that's what anon meant.

More like she is so integral to the story at this point (now that we know more about it + speculation) that it is more likely that the anime will closely follow that and put her in a role similar to N or Korrina, where maybe she travels with them for an arc.

>>28393528
I'm glad. Anyone who unironically watches something as the ashnime deserves everything bad it happens to them. Same with other fanbases devoid of intelligence and taste like capeshitters, moefags, and xbonefags.

>Serena won't confess

If she'll never confess, did she never truly love Ash?

>>28393748
If she doesn't confess she will be remember on the same level as iris and may or lower

>>28393583
If she really is UB-01 then I don't even want her as main girl anyway.

Considering the lack of league, I'm hoping for a more plot based series and not filler islands
pls?

>>28393017
Don't let assholes get you down
XYZ has grown past all the previous seasons and become a tale I'd love to read from a novel and would probably work as a standalone feature film.

With the pokemon name attached in combination with pokemon go, an XYZ movie could compete with The Avengers with the right production value.

>>28393017
You are not helping either
Talk then pretentious whore

>>28393774
Alola screams Filler Hell anon. Ypu better be prepared

>>28393800
Try harder with the bait anon

>>28393820
Especially with a girl with no goal again. I have a bad feeling about Sun/Moon

>>28393774
They'll just replace the usual gyms with island trials, then they'll pull some kind of island grand tournament out of their asses for Ash to lose at.

>>28393748
If she doesnt confess ill be pretty salty about it. Amour was my favorite part of xy and is why I kept watching. It would feel so bad to watch Serena not get to tell Ash how she feels.

>>28393846
How about go away? Just because you don't like the anime doesnt mean you have to shove your opinion down everyone's throat
What the fuck is your goal

>>28393887
Same goes to you

Now that the dust has settled, rate the following finales from best to worst.

>XY&Z's finale
>Dexter's finale
>Lost's finale
>Bleach's finale
>Naruto's finale
>Gravity Falls' finale
>The Dark Knight Trilogy's finale
>Legend of Korra's finale
>Origins' finale

>>28393748
She's more likely to go to Kanto with Ash than confess. She's just too shy and reserved to make a move. She just lacks confidence.

>>28393905
XYZ isn't over yet and i haven't seen half of those. But it will probably be on 7th place

>>28393915
Serena has plenty of confidence, just not enough confidence to think Ash might like her back apparently.

>>28393915
I can hardly see another 3 years of serena blushing and bait titles for shipperfags possible

>>28393748
never

>>28393942
I bet you couldn't see Team Rocket chasing Pikachu for 20 years and 930+ episodes either, but here we are.

>>28393903
I was literally trying to bring someone up, how am I shoving my opinion down your throat?

>>28393955
Make that another 20 years and 1070 episodes more.

>>28393955
No actually yeah i could cause Pokemon is a Chican Chan tuier show for kids so it makes sense for them to stay

Serena has expressed no desire whatsoever to confess or even work on building the courage to confess. It's always pic related.

>>28394032
No. XYZ is actually a masterpiece, the true animekino.

>>28394032
I know him. He is just some crazy XYZ fan. Just leave him be

I will never get over how shit XY ended.
Never. Fucking Gooks. I hope your horrible country, your mean, decadent, soulless populations finally dies, and the entire country is reduce to one crisp cinder int he ensuing atomic holocaust.

>>28394096
Aside from Ash's league loss, XY seems to be ending on a high note. Depending on how the last few episodes go and whatever happens to Serena at the end, it might possibly top DP191 as the best end for a series.

>>28387653
what's up with the subs it only goes up to episode 37.

>>28394105
>this is what some people actually believe

MUH HARI-SAN

>>28394096
Calm down anon. The Nips still make enjoyable anime. its just that pokemon si shitty

>>28393994
Again, she is more likely to go to Alola than confess in XY. Right now, going to Alola is the best bet for her ever developing at all, for her to muster up the confidence to make Ash like her.
