Citron has repaired the Citroid, but got mixed feelings when it turned out the fixed Citroid has no memories of the past.

Since the Citroid has just been repaired, Citron is unsure about whether it's a good idea to accept Alba's challenge, but...

>>
>>28899802
May certainly was a more interesting character than Misty.
>>
>>28899802
She is probably popular because she is most relatable to, she is like the neighbor girl you grew up with.

>>28899851
That's actually what I mean, even if the whole Contest arcs never happened, I would have still found May relatable because she has that down to earth, "girl next door" personality. She also has that silly/clumsy personality but can also flare up a huge temper too.

I actually think May's personality has a perfect blend of traits from all the others, kind of ironic because the others didn't even exist at the time May was created.

>>28899903
I hope soon. It would be a crime if there isn't any art of those three together.

Looks like we watched this at a really similar pace. Yeah, this moment was really sweet, the yakisoba stall guy adding the heart on the fly because Ohana confessed to Ko made me laugh too. Make sure to watch the movie if you liked the series, it's called Hanasaku Iroha: Home Sweet Home.

No matter what, the Ashbowl never ends.
>>
>>28900133
Tripokalons have never been stated to be Kalos-exclusive.
>>
>>28900262
Tripokalons also are not that different from contests, the main difference is that is girls only and no battles.

>>28900133
>Ash decides that it's better to get elementary school education instead of trying to be Pokemon Master

Is this ending of Shudo's dreams?
>>
>>28900281
So basically Contests, just better
>>
How would you guys react to Serena and Clemont traveling together without Ash?
>>
>>28900307
If you like idols, Tripokalons are superior, if you like Pokemon and battles and varity of contestants, your choice is contests.

Will Ash go nuclear when she kills Lillie?

>>28900510
Is it an official tripokalon or an impromptu demonstration for the people of Miare?
>>28900515
He will be angry when he rescues her from Aether's laboratory.

Will you go nuclear when she doesn't appear because the anime is doing it's own thing?

Serena may go on a tour because idol shit. But Clemont and Denene surely will stay as gym leaders. Next ep is about him taking responsibility.
>>
I can understand that people may dislike idol genre, and thus Tripokalons and to some extend Contests, but it was truly refreshing to see Pokemon being trained to express themselves in a way different than battling.

Its essentially just a remake of the last AG episode, where Ash and May had a last battle and split a ribbon.

Serena is similar to May and XY is similar to AG, its not surprising her last episodes have a similar concept.

>>28900803
I find all the drama that always goes with showbiz a huge turnoff, but I like when the franchise shows me there's more to Pokemon than spamming U-turns.

>>28900835
But Ash and May battling each other made sense considering their relationship, and what May took from Ash in replicating his style. Serena, not so much.

For the most part, the Contests/Tripokalon's were aimed at girls.

All the rivals like Drew/Harley, Zoey/Ursula, Shauna/Millefui were all based on shoujo manga/anime tropes.

May/Drew's rivalry ship with roses, Harley being the flamboyant gay rival, Zoey being the lesbian prince with girly girl Dawn, Ursula being the "mean bitch," Shauna being the bisexual best friend, and Millefeui being the tease for Serena's crush and also possibly lesbian.

What's interesting is how popular this all was with male fans. The writers aimed this stuff at girls but I think guys like it the most.
>>
>>28900916
S/M needs to address the fact that several gen 1 pokemon have different types in Alola, and Ash is the only student hailing from Kanto. They'll at least have him be the one to point that out I guess.

Zoey is probably teaching Dawn what it is to become a lesbian as we speak.

Serena will also likely become lesbian with Shauna and Millfeui now that Ash is gone, she won't crave any other male.

May is probably the most "straight" of the girls, I wouldn't be surprised if she and Drew have had sex already.

I'm sure Alola will have something, after all Kiawe is a fire dancer, and Oricorio sems perfect type for contest events. Maybe a ritual dance that comes from the ancient Alolans that everybody must master.

No lady with class such as Lillie should lower herself to perform islander style dances. And I can't see Lana and Mallow being into contests at all so I expect they skin doing that stuff this generation.

That guy here, she is literally just waifubait, and look, I'm okay with waifubait as long as there's something else to her character other than her tits. Also, her character arc consists of getting pokemon handed to her all the time, being boring, and winning contests because of bullshit. Only in the Manaphy movie she has anything resembling a personality.

May literally goes from a carefree girl with no interest in anything but traveling to having to build up confidence and toughness with her rivals, learning about pokemon from Ash and various characters, she's a caring older sister, she goes through a shipping arc with her rival, she has to put up with Harley harrassing her, and so on and so forth.

Aside from that, May has a girl next door personality where she's silly/clumsy but also has a temper and stands her ground if things don't go her way. She spends much of her arc bickering/arguing with Ash, Max, Drew and Harley and its about a girl standing up to 4 boys. Her entire arc was showing girls can be just as tough as boys.
>>
>>28902516
I remember she said in the first episode she didn't like Pokemon, it was cool seeing her growing to enjoy their company.
>>
Also this post on tumblr also has someone make an in-depth view on May's character:

She just becomes a vehicle to show new pokemon when they're gifted to her, and changes her goal without really much fuzz or any meaningful character building episodes like Dawn or Serena, that can be due to how awful the writing during the entirety of AG is though. The shipping arc with Drew literally feels like she's being gifted a boyfriend, since most of the time she really fits the "Mary Sue" moniker, and at the end that romance arc isn't even given a proper conclusion. I do have to admit that Harley did make things with her more interesting but it's mostly due to Harley being a cunt and not May.

>May has a girl next door personality
This "personality" doesn't come up in most of the episodes she's in, again because of the shitty writing of that series, and you can't really point out any key moments or strong character centric episodes where her character arc is affected in a big way like Dawn's or Serena.

What the hell?

1. Every main girl gets pokemon gifted to them. We have very few "spontaneous wild battle" captures in the show.

2. Her change of arc is basically because she started off just wanting to travel and didn't care about pokemon. It also explains why a Gym leader's daughter wouldn't know how to battle. Likewise her development is during her interactions with her rivals during the Contests because she has no clue what being a coordinator even is. She's shown nervous, slips and falls, and makes mistakes in her first Contest, then gets creamed by Drew and cries.

3. May and Drew are at odds with each other all the way till the end of Hoenn, May constantly argues/bickers with him the whole saga and doesn't start to fall for him till the end. If she had fallen for him the first time she met him that's a different story, but she found him arrogant and condescending and they grew mutual respect for each other after May started improving.

3. In terms of personality May is never portrayed as right, happy or confident all the time. She gets angry all the time, she cries a bit, she's always shown hesitant and nervous before/during contests, etc. She also gets called out by other characters, like Drew, the Nurse Joy in the ep she was pushing her Bulbasaur too hard, Ash and so forth.

Lastly that tumblr post wasn't written by a female, not waifufaggotry. May also has a large female following because they identified with her and liked her rivals.

Perhaps, because it shows how much Amour teasing there actually was, and if it ends in the way the recent preview shows it probably could be considered one of the worst dropped subplots in this entire shows history.

>>28902889
May get's 7 pokemon in the whole series, more than any other companion, and 3 of those are starters.

Basically what I'm saying is that you really have to look hard for those very specific moments when May shows any personality, she and her arc are badly written and boring. When I rewatched Hoenn I was surprised at how utterly bored and uninterested I was most of the time, especially since by the time I rewatched Sinnoh and while watching Kalos I realized May most of the time was a non-character when I saw how much better written Dawn and Serena were, Hoenn's length is not an excuse since Sinnoh was just as long.

Seriously try watching Hoenn again and tell me May and pretty much everything in general isn't incredibly dull.
>>
>>28902511

We have at least 6 months of Naruto, because of the adaptation of the Hiden novels.
>>
>>28903190
1. Both May and Dawn had 7 pokemon, Dawn just released Ambipom so she only 6 by the end of her run. Likewise Misty had somewhere around 10 pokemon overall. Likewise you know good and well she got starters for FR/LG advertising.

2. I've rewatched AG in general at least 3-4 times over the years, she's still one of my favorite female companions. I'm also still not quite sure what you mean.

In all the big Ash-centric episodes or fillers that focus on COTD's, his friends are going to stand in the background barely doing anything. There's episodes in AG where May does nothing but stands on the sidelines, but so did Serena for most of her run, as well as Dawn outside the episodes she co-starred with Ash. You almost sound like you have double standards here.

May has plenty of episodes outside of Contests that focus on her and her character. The episode she heals the injured Swablu ep, the eps her Wurmple gets switched with Jessie's, the ep she and Meowth travel through time, the eps she bonds with the girl who wants to become a coordinator, the eps that focus on her arguing with Ash or Max, etc.

Then there's May general personality in the episodes. She makes sarcastic comments similar to Misty/Iris, she flares up in anger if someone pushes her buttons too much, she can be shown to be silly/clumsy/goofy, she loves to eat and is stubborn similar to Ash, etc.

His friend decide to help him each according to their own style, Mallow tries to attract the Crabcrawler with food, Sophicles of catching it with a gizmo, Kiawe by charging straight at it, Lana by trying to fish it. At the end, Ash just tries to find out why the crabcrawler attacked them, solving its predicament and winning it over.
>>
>>28903320
Then I suppose it just comes down to personal opinion, but there's a reason Hoenn and Kalos are regarded by most people as superior seasons by pretty much anyone that is familiar with the series; in my case I found Hoenn very underwhelming and only better than Best Wishes because Hoenn is boring, and BW is just plain awful. This plainness to me could be seen in both the excessive amount of boring filler and in how bland (Brock and May) or annoying (Max) the main characters were most of the time. I definitely don't want to watch Hoenn again after that time.
>>
>>28902849
Because they're running out of reasons to keep watching the anime, and are latching on to anything that might seem groundbreaking or promising: Ash's competence, Serena's crush, Alan, the frog, Lysandre, Lillie being a Squid, Ash being reset, the new animation, the school setting. Even if none of them deliver in any way and instead end up being a disappointment (spoiler: they will), they'll use them as an excuse to keep watching and autistically defend them to death even as those things themselves bite them in the ass.

It would be fun if it weren't so pathetic. At least it gives good fuel for shitposting.

What does May's breast milk taste like?
>>
>>28903503
But May shows plenty of personality like pic related. She's not nice, quiet, or shy all the time.

Hoenn itself is a mixed bag and there is some boring filler, but I also quite like a number of the fillers like the ep about the giant Claydol, Wishcash stealing Ash's badges, the Sharpedo filler's, and some of the funny eps like, "The Bicker, The Better" and all the pokemon/character driven eps. Ash's Hoenn pokemon like Corphish have some of the funniest personalities, and I liked May's Hoenn team prior to BF.

I do agree with you that both DP and Kalos are better for rather obvious reasons, but I think Hoenn has a lot of fun episodes and May's character is a huge part of it.

Likewise, how do you feel about Serena largely being a background character for the first year of XY?

We've gone over this.

She's going to be torn between going with Ash to Alola and going to Sinnoh/Unova to compete in Contests.

Ash is going to suggest a battle:
If Ash wins, she goes with him to Alola
If Serena wins, she goes to Sinnoh/Unova region to compete in Contests

Then they'll fight.

And Ash will (throw the match and) lose.

And they'll say goodbye.

Worst thing the anime's done is the dropping of Gary.

Second worst thing was the entirety of the Unova League.

Third worst thing was the shelving of the GS Ball Arc.

I don't even know if Serena's crush would make the top 10. There's only so much non-reciprocation a girl can take before she starts losing interest, and Ash has probably filled her non-reciprocation quota 20x by now.

Ash must deal with a veteran trainer and his grumpy Luchalitten that was brought into school for the students to study, Ash's Pikachu, Rowlet and own Litten are terrified of it because it could snap and throw objects at them at any moment. But Mallow and Lana's Popplio takes a real liking towards it.

Watching AG was a very boring experience for me despite some good episodes but those are bound to exist in such a long series, Corphish was pretty much the only character I really liked, the rest had some moments like the one in your pic sprinkled throughout but it wasn't nearly enough for me
.
Serena is really underused in the first 45 or so episodes but her character development is very strong during the latter part of XY, and she has definitely the strongest character focused episodes of any companion.

It's less about Gary himself, and more about the rival who's actually a rival and not some friendly joe off the street or a complete bumblefuck idiot. It gives Ash some actual competition throughout the show and gives people something to look forward to, instead of just having it all be "Collect the 8 magical doodads, lose the tournament, repeat x5".

Gary and Paul were easily the best rivals and the episodes where they kick Ash's ass or Ash kicks their ass are great.

The other bumblefucks are all awful characters - Cameron in particular should never have been created. Any time they show up you just want the episode to be over with.

Alain was a bit different, but he was way too far out of Ash's league to be a rival. Dude can fight at the same level as Steven fucking Stone - him kicking Ash's shit in is always a forgone conclusion.

What about Ash in AG? He had a mix of his OS personality and what he'd eventually become in DP/XY, except he was still very stubborn and arrogant making him funny. I also quite liked his Hoenn team since it was the first time he was evolving almost all his pokemon.

And in any case, outside of a few of her cheaper Contest wins, most of May's Contests still have good story plots and battles. Even many of those one-shot coordinators from Hoenn also had good backstories like Timmy the Duslops trainer, Grace, Erika who thought May was stealing her boyfriend, that Salaryman with the Venusaur, Brianna who was a Drew fangirl, etc.

There's your problem. You think that the Pokemon anime is actually an Anime.

I thought Ash's personality was okay but suffered because of the lack of interesting plots and episode in nearly every episode, and I only really liked Corphish out of his team, the rest were just eh.

About contests, the only ones I liked were the ones with Harley in them since he was a cunt and made them interesting, and Harley took a long time to appear for the first time. I also liked the last one, the rest just seemed very unremarkable since the performances really didn't become interesting until Sinnoh, I mean May didn't even wear a dress for them.

Ash is accidentally hit by a potent hallucinogen from the local flora that takes a long while to get flushed out of the body, and at that exact moment a mimikyu that has been stalking Ash for a while decides to show itself.

Ash mistakes mimikyu for pikachu and acts all kind and loving to it making pikachu pissed off and mimikyu truly touched that it finally found someone that loves him.

Pikachu acts like a bully during the episode to the poor mimikyu who is unaware of the state Ash is.

Anyway, i would see this episode starting from humor, then a little drama as the tension builts up between Pikachu and Mimikyu and finally a ending that leaves a warm and fuzzy feeling in the watcher.
Anyway this is pretty rough, could be Mimikyu trying to leave when it sets in Ash was only being loving to it because he was under effect of a drug but Ash reveals he has been okay for a while now and was genuine in all the fun times they had together.

Also doubles up as a character development for pikachu.

Yeah, i went full autismo.

The Contests in AG focused more on the battling than the performances. That's why all the appeals were always very short and brief in Hoenn. They started making a bigger deal out of them in Battle Frontier when the appeals started becoming more complex...and this continued into DP.

May didn't wear a dress in them because in the original R/S games your player character never wore an outfit. That started in the DP games and in the new ORAS ones.

I have a few ideas on how Team Rocket gets Bewear and Mimikyu on their team. Plus a running sub-plot involving Meowth and a female Alolan Meowth.
>Jessie catches a Bewear by complete accident when she was meant to catch a Stufful due to it's cuteness. James and Meowth laugh that now Jessie is getting the pain instead of them. Jessie has a falling out due to the constant a painful bear hugs it gives to her, but soon comes to love the big lug especially after it won them a contest for them (throwing them a bone for once) and becomes a value member of Team Rocket.
>James catches a Mimikyu (with a net not a Pokeball) after mistaking it for Ash's Pikachu, at first they don't want it due to hearing rumours of them being cursed. Mimikyu admires and loves Team Rocket and keeps following them, Jessie and Meowth try to convince James to shoo it away, but James doesn't have the heart, falling for it and catching it as his own for real.
>A sub-plot involving a sneaking Alolan Meowth flirting and controlling Rocket's Meowth into doing things for it's own pleasure.

I came here to say this. A one-sided crush is not a relationship, no matter how intense.

May felt like she won by pure luck and good chance instead of actual talent. Same with Serena in XY, the only contest training they felt genuine was Dawn in DP because unlike May she didn't win all the time even when she tried her best.

May's normal outfit was fanservice enough. May doesn't need to wear a princess dress really it wouldn't fit her.

I also don't get what you mean. The main reason people liked the Contests also in DP was because of the battling. The appeals were always just a small part of them in both sagas, its also the main reason people don't find the tripokalon's as interesting as Contests because there's no battling.

I also think the better episodes of AG still hold up to this day. Ash's battles with Brawly, Flannery, Winona, parts of Norman, Juan and a lot of the Hoenn league matches are still good to this day. For May's, Beautifly Vs Medicham, Bulbasaur Vs. Harley's Cacturne, Combusken Vs. Grumpig and Skitty Vs. Jynx were all fine, as was the Grand Festival battles. They also continued to improve in Battle Frontier.

Yes, 3 years ago, when I saw one of the early trailers of XY and they showed Serena having a flashback of Ash as a kid, I knew that will be left unresolved, and will cause a lot of butthurt from the delusional fools who bit the bait

In terms of clothing, she's close. Dawn's clothes are my second favorite in the franchise.

Even as a Mayfag, I will admit Dawn took the action girl title easily. I wish similar care was taken with May. Maybe if the wrote Max off the show and turned Max episodes/moments into May moments... oh well, it can't be helped.

>>28905059
What I mean is that Hoenn's boring contests are basically a representation of how dull the entire season is, they're mostly not even interesting visually which is something Tripokalons are way better at (they even give May a cute dress when she comes back during Sinnoh), and AG battles in general are just not very good.

Neither in Unova,

>>28905695
I preferred May doing her contests in her normal clothes. I find the TriPokelon outfits boring. Then again, in most idol anime, I find their idol clothes to be pretty boring compared to their casual or school wear.
>>
>>28905695
What was wrong with the AG battles I listed above? And I said the appeals are just a minor part of contests, I always watched them for the battles more than anything as well as the funny character interaction between May and her rivals.
>>
>>28905411
I hope delia stays in alola with ash
>>
>>28905747
Even if those battles were good for AG standards but they're still not as interesting as Sinnoh's or Kalos's, with the exception IMO of Harley's battles. Since I never felt any empathy for May (save for the Manaphy movie where she's an actual character), I wasn't emotionally invested in her battles, since the animation during AG wasn't good that killed those contests for me.

DP made appeal rounds more prominent and contests became more diverse with the combinations they made up for them, besides since I did care for Dawn and Serena, I actually gave a shit about what happened during those contests/Tripokalons. Again, that is my opinion and if you actually got to care about May for some reason then contests made more sense, but for me AG was just very weak and never actually got to make me give a fuck.

They're still good battles for the time as long as you don't consider the improved animation of XY. I just don't get how after everything I've said over this day you don't get why May had an entertaining personality and some nice development moments. Quite a lot of Dawn or Serena's personality quirks or developments moments are very similar to things May did prior.

Just curious, were you on any pokemon or anime related forums? Your posts sound somewhat familiar, what is your username on any pokemon related forums? I'm wondering if you've ever been to them because you would have seen people saying similar things I am here.

So May making expressions like this wasn't interesting to you? You keep saying she's a non-character but in episodes that focus on her or she plays a role in, she has tons of great moments. May had many humorous moments I thought, and she can be sarcastic and angry and ditzy all at the same time.

My point is May has moments like these all throughout the series. You seem to be thinking of the generic fillers where May doesn't do anything but join Max/Brock in the background, and you're right, in those episodes she and the rest of the cast do nothing. But you could say the same for a lot of the other main cast too, aside from Dawn due to how much focus she got.

May got the second most amount of screentime in the show other than Dawn, and quite a bit of focus episodes outside of the contests. Even episodes like when she met her Bulbasaur for the first time and bonded with it in the forbidden grass kingdom, that was a great May character-centric episode.
>>
Why are you guys even still watching the anime at this point? After how they shat the bed with X/Y's ending it proves that the plot will never progress and we'll never get a satisfiying resolution.

Ash is never going to win a league, he's never going to become a pokemon master and he's never going to get the girl.

Doing the same thing over and over again expecting a diffrent result is the definition of insanity.

No, solely counting the episodes where she didn't do anything would be pointless, the episodes that were focused on her character seemed very weak to me too, the difference with Dawn and Serena is that their character episodes were actually good whereas May's didn't do anything for me, I blame generally shitty AG writing for that.
