One thing that annoyed me was the completely thrown in spaghetti that was immediately dropped after the commercial. Like, what was the fucking point? We know you aren't going to shit with the subplot already, so why even bother. Felt so cheap.

I hope Gladion and Lusamine are in the anime.

Why is it called """amour"""shipping?

>If they had actually made Serena act on her feelings would things have really changed that much?
Serena's crush and the sheer unadulterated bait that was Ash Greninja were plot elements that shouldn't have been done in the first place if the staff was fully aware they couldn't have brought them to conclusion and had they cared about storytelling over marketing.

That said, the sheer act of confessing and being turned down would've shown just how much Serena had grown throughout the series and gained courage to do something she couldn't have done before. It would've brought some closure to that important aspect of her character and meaning to both the scenes where she showed attraction to Ash without being able to act upon it and to all the scenes where other characters noticed (especially to Millefeui's character who seemed to mostly exist to spur Serena forward since their rivalry was never really shown to be focused on Tripokalons themselves).

I doubt it was up to him, higher-ups must've wanted to shake the tone of the series up a lot to bring it closer to Yokai Watch and decided Tomioka and Yajima wouldn't be suited to it.

I don't understand how literally nobody recognized Lillie's voice as Millefui.

Like it wasn't even "another popular/well-known seiyuu" or anything it was literally the voice of a character that has already been on the show

>>29140044
Many jokes about Millefeui winning were made. As for the rest, only Kaito Ishikawa is a really big name. Reina Ueda is currently in Aikatsu, which is amusing.

Are some of you guys really planning on watching the Sun/moon saga regularly? I'm probably going to check out the first 5-10 episodes just to see how it is, but I'm definitely not watching 100+ episodes of this.

what I'm still confused about is how the movies are gonna work

>>29140640
I meant Tomiyasu for the director bit not Matsui

The anime is going to celebrate its 20th anniversary with this new art style and whatever the first S/M movie is. Which pretty much proves the chances of seeing old characters is pretty much slim to none.

Kind of ironic that on the 20th anniversary Ash and the anime will look nothing like it did for the past 20 years.

So what is the difference between that youtuber and this thread's OP?

>>29140877
Mostly drama episodes as opposed to comedic ones, too.

>>29140201
Seriously, Amourshippers look more and more like Pokeshippers.

A cameo for Serena is more than enough.

>>29140945
nothing, you get triggered by both

>>29140969
Fuck off, Scott.

>>29140945
That's the first thing I thought when I saw that.

>>29140969
Part of the reason I liked Amour was to give Ash an ending. Felt like the same endgame ship stuff Naruto and other shows do.

>>29140897
I'm going to miss qterena

Will Serena stay loyal to Ash while she travels to other regions?

>>29140982
>He thinks I'm Scott.
Does it hurt, anon? Being compared to the Pokeshippers so many of you ridicule.

Honestly the dream is dead. If Serena gets a cameo in S/M it'll probably be 5-9 episodes or whatever, then she'll fade away into oblivion.

Dawn despite her co-star status and popularity still was never shown again after her BW cameo in 2012 and here we are 4 years later. May hasn't appeared since 2008, and Misty since 2005.

The moment Serena said she's going to Hoenn we knew she was doomed.

>>29141101
Fuck OFF, Scott.

>>29141056
Pro tip: literally nobody cares what Scott compares anyone with.

Also i almost completely forgot Ash was even in this fucking show after the league. Up until Serena's episode its been the fucking Alan show.

Yeah, he wrote most of the gyms and most of the May-centric episodes, I believe.

>>29141864

>>29139820
Most likely higher-up decisions.

I wonder if Tomioka will be the main writer for the new Inazuma Eleven anime since he was the main writer for the previous ones.

>>29141860
Tomioka wrote nearly all of May's Contest episodes besides a few. He was clearly in charge of May's character and Contest arc.

He also wrote many of the big Ash episodes in AG too and likely decided his Hoenn team.

>>29141896
Eh, I think my issue with it was that Serena was too preoccupied by her worries. They still haven't had the perfect date. The first one had Ash running off leaving Serena frustrated.

>>29141913
Man, I'm still butthurt about him leaving. Aya Matsui record is not nearly as good as his

I don't know but him not being in charge changes everything

>>29141989
He probably isn't.

Seems like Tomioka had a clear vision for the anime when he took over during late Johto and into AG and DP. He clearly was building Ash up toward winning a league at some point, and you could see XY was a return to that.

Ignore salty xyfags. He is just not the head writer anymore.

>>29142148
>He is just not the head writer anymore.
Which changes things more than you think

>>29142169
Probably a good thing S/M is just a comedy series with no focus on battles or goals then. The writers couldn't do that.

Tomioka needs to make his own set of specials just showing Ash win the Indigo league in Kanto and then challenging the Elite . I'd take that as an ending for the show even if they keep rebooting Ash till the end of time.

Any sane Amourfag already knew Amour wasn't going to be endgame. They were just in it for the cute. Though there were some questionable things avoided with it. Like, I wonder what would have happened if Serena actually got that dance she wanted with Ash?

The Sun/Moon saga is going to retroactively make the Best Wishes series look good. I'm calling it now, you'll see people saying, "Well at least BW wasn't THAT bad" and so forth.

Granted BW does have some nice episodes if you ignore the shit parts.

I knew it wasnt going to be endgame. Ash doesnt have an endgame, he will continuously wander around restarting over and over and over again till the show is canceled and pokemon is dead. But there was cute things that werent end game at all that they either only teased at and didnt do last moment or didnt do at all for no reason.

Guys, is Mallow going to get a Tsareena?

Will we be getting Mallow being dominated and stepped on by her tiny Tsareena?
Or at least the two of them being lewd together?

Anon, you can't really think they're going to spend the whole season at that school, right?

Sure, it'll probably start like that.
But Ash is going to end up taking the island trials, moving to each island while dealing with Skull, Aether, UB's, etc.

The weird part is that it seems most likely that the group he's going to be traveling with this time is specifically 3 girls when there's always been at least 1 boy along with him.

Does Serena know that in Contests only the pokemon performs and the human trainer does nothing but order attacks? Serena probably thinks she jumps alongside her pokemon.

Question for people still watching... How are you still going after the way they completely shat the bed for the way X/Y ended?

I just don't understand contunitning anymore. The plot will never advance in any meaningful fashion because they keep hitting the reset button.

Are you watching because of shipping? Why bother when nobody is every going to be allowed to actual get together.

>>29144608
Because I have fun watching this 30 minute commercial

I like how Serena got to shill ORAS for one last time with Generations too

Waiting for this to drop hard and see how the writers handle it

My prediction: they will replace the entire cast with charizards

>>29144608
>The plot will never advance in any meaningful fashion because they keep hitting the reset button
I've known that for over 10 years, and still kept watching it because I like to see animated pokémon.

It also helps that I didn't fall for the "XY is different and will change the status quo" meme, so the things that made XYfags salty didn't bother me in the slightest.

>>29144674
Make TR a bunch of greninjas.

>>29144617

Being a commercial and having good story telling don't have to be mutual exclusive. I've watched plenty of shows that where made for no real reason other then to sell toys that still managed to tell a compleing story.

Pokemon had the potential to be great, hell it WAS great until they utterly sqaundered it with how they've handled the ending to X/Y

I mean come on. Best Wish's tried to reboot things and we all all know how that went.

X and Y felt like it was picking up right where Diamond and Pearl had left off.

Is it really 'bait?' when the writers actually intended for Ash to actual win this time until they where blocked by the Executives at the last minute?

The irony of the anime is since it's a children's show it should be uplifting but ends up being depressing instead because at the end of the day the hero never ever wins.

>>29144897
Min 3:08

>>29144914

But seriously they fucked up badly even if this was intended.

>>29144838
One Piece really deserves a Kai-styled reboot.

The manga is still really good with the current arc not being dragged out as Dressrosa was.

>>29144914
>Is it really 'bait?' when the writers actually intended for Ash to actual win this time until they where blocked by the Executives at the last minute?
and this is why people like you got baited, they will try as many reboot as they like but if something will remain the same is Ash and, again, you should have seen this coming from miles away. This is how business work as much as I dislike it.

>>29144947

It was 100% Executive meddling.

The proof is some of the writers and animators complained on twitter, asking stuff like why kids couldn't be allowed to dream and such.

>>29144914
That's why S/M blows my mind. They already tried this reboot once before and it didn't work. So why are they doing it a second time, just going even more extreme with making Ash in school and changing his design, etc?

Literally makes no sense.

>>29145021
Probably the proof is that if Ash really did beat Alan in the league...nothing for the rest of XY would have changed. It'd all play out the same way. The only thing the writers would have to do is explain why Ash didn't go on to battle the Elite 4.

XYZ is like a shitty fanfic

>>29145021

Heck I recall the Mexican/Latin American VA getting pissed at this in conventions, these guys are actually invested in the Anime and they where really pissed off, specially the voice behind James.

Pff. Who said they had to get rid of Ash even if he won a leauge? Winning just one doesn't make you a Pokemon master after all. It wouldn't be hard to find a reason to keep him around.

Just say he wants to challenge himself to get even better and so he goes to the next region with only Pikachu again. Without being able to call upon his championship team on a dime Ash would have to work that much harder to uphold his reputation.

>>29145088
>Heck I recall the Mexican/Latin American VA getting pissed at this in conventions

You have to go back

>>29145107
It was posted a lot man, you don't need to be Mexican to know that the dub director for Pokémon called it bullshit when the fans asked about it.

>>29145129
I don't care about mexican shit why do I have to save it in my mind

>>29145094
Because they have this stupid mindset of "Ash winning the league means the his journey is over".

>>29145023

It's like how in Spider-man they are doing another stupid Clone saga AGAIN! Do they not remember how the last one in the 90's nearly destroyed the fanchise and tarnished it for years?

It's just utterly baffling to me to see these big companies repeate the same mistakes over and over again. It's like they never learn.

Hence why I AM going to learn. I'm done with the anime because I'm sick of watching it do the same thing over and over again.

Even if by some miracle Sun and moon is actually good it's never going to go anywhere since they are just going to reboot again next generation to repeat the cycle once more.

How would the guys night out episode go?

Le harem meme is dandy and all, but I just want to see a guys doing stupid things at night episode

>>29145174
I can only pray S/M completely bombs ratings wise. Realistically they'll be a spike when it first starts and it'll probably do better than XY...but it'll likely decline like all sagas as it goes on.
