Pokémon Anime Discussion Thread

Get my flag away from that shit

>>29629783
Eh, let's just leave that undecided for now.

But we agree about the rest? Passimian is just wild speculation, but Crabrawler I can already picture perfectly with some kind of "it pinches Ash" running gag. Plus its face is literally comedy tier already.

>>29629829
Just ignore the OP pic and discuss the anime

What pokémon will Mallow have other than Bounsweet? Will she evolve it into Steene and Tsareena?

Will we see a rotation in Ash's team this time?

>>29629845
Mallow will get a Lurantis, Bounsweet is going to evolve at least once.

Why is that shitty flag next to cute Lillie?

>>29629866
That would feel too awkward.
Lillie gets alolan vulpix, think that's enough.

My wife Lillie is very pretty!

>>29629866
No, only Alola pokemon.

What was with the trailer today? Did they run out of serious/well drawn scenes to damage control and had to use more of the gorillion DUDE GAG LMAO ones?

>>29629918
This thread actually has new info in the OP, yours doesn't.

Just saying.

>>29629908
Alolan Marowak looks like it could be one of Kiawe's pokemon.

>>29629938
Other than the picture, no, not really.
And you can just ignore that picture.

The info is actually up-to-date with the latest SM PV

Here's my prediction for Ash's team in SM
Pikachu (obviously)
Rowlet (unevolved since it's Piplup 4.0)
Incineroar (second starter caught, Ash's main)
Toucan Sam (sentry birb)
Vikivolt
Crabrawler evolution

Why evolve crabrawler? His evolution doesn't look that good, he could be like Corphish.

>>29629968
You couldn't even put the latest SM preview in your "real" OP
You sure hat SM

>>29630010
If he gets a monkey it'll be Passimian for sure. I just can't see him with the Dr. Zaius one.

I want to hug Serena!

>>29630010
>two fighting type pokemon
It's etiher passimian or crabrawler.

>>29629956
>another electric type

nope

>>29629996
Probably go off of stereotypes and be outback focused with a big city on all corners. And lots of Aus inspired pokemon.

What about Drampa? Could that be a pokémon Ash gets?

Just came here to remind you that Lilliefags live in two of the most shitquality countries, Australia and the Mexico of Europe, Spain

>>29630050
No, it will be a cotd pokemon.

>>29630036
But I also want to kiss her.

>wanting an Aus region

>>29630068
What about me, I'm in Germany and love Lillie

>>29630064
Whenever ash gets a pseudo, he either leaves it unevolved or releases it so no.

>>29630050
Alola has some of the most fucking awful final evos in the whole series so I don't mind if he gets a single stage Pokemon

>>29630103
Same.

>>29630103
>he thinks Lana will evolve her Popplio

Never. Popplio is already confirmed set as the "blowing bubbles in Ash's face" comedic relief.

Nope, not OP. I'm just showing you there is plenty of discussion here, you just choose not to join in and instead shitpost.

>>29630112
In that case it's better if popplio evolves, Brionne looks much better mon for comic relief.

>>29630180
In SM it's owned by Kukui but it's still unclear since the anime differentiates a lot from the games.

>>29630180
No. Ash got Rowlet and his next mon will be Pikipek.

>>29630205
I mean, they look pretty similar. Brionne is just like a bigger Popplio with a slightly more feminine look.
I guess the jokes would work with either of them.

Down with Serena! All hail the new Queen Lillie!

Cute.

>>29630865
No. Let it to

>>29630897
There might actually be. They recently revealed you can "build" your own new league at the end of the SM games and many trainers and champions you already know from previous generations come to visit it and partake.

So if they do something similar in alola we might have some kind of "invitational" style league with people from all other regions coming in at its end. Would be nifty.

>>29630865
First season can end with Ash gratuating, second will be about Ash entering the league or Battle Tree.

>>29630546
>it ends up being canon
but it's not canon, where does everyone keep getting this "it's canon" meme? as we stand there's a chance she'll flat out never be mentioned again. And with the radical differences between SM and XY there's a chance she can flat out be retconned out of existence. The kiss was adorable, but for all intents and purposes it changed nothing.

Only the Battle Frontier has appeared in the anime before. No other postgame has been featured since.

>>29630914
Ehh.That's just post-game.

The anime didn't adapt WCC either

Thinking they should be together is very different from them being together. Sorry anon but road you're on leads no where

>>29630947
Ash is in a special class though, and I doubt he will spend even 1 year in Alola since he never ages.

I just can't see Serena in S/M, short hair Serena is just too mature

>>29630947
Who said anything about regular school, it could be a summer school or something similar.

>>29630959
Is it possible to graduate special ed? You just end up in special care forever, so I wouldn't call that graduating.

You know. It will bother me less if it was more like an academy rather than a literally mudhut school.

It's a full blown school.

>>29630957
Of course they are not gonna be together, Pokemon is not a real anime. Like, this has been discussed thousands and thousands of times.
What it is sure though, is that amour is supposed to be top of the shipping mountain, you are not gonna get more than that. You are not gonna see Ash getting married in the future, neither another kiss, not even growing up.
It's pretty obvious that Serena will be ash's significant other in the future that we will never see.

So the voice actor for Lillie is Australian?

>>29631017
For as long as the anime runs, I agree with you.

However, one day it will end and they'll be told to wrap it up, that's it, the last season.
I do believe that at the end of it we'll get a little epilogue showing Ash grown up, sending his son off on his own pokémon journey.
Whether we see the wife then or not, no knows.

>>29631029
No random show is ever given a definitive ending. They just air the last episode and that's it.

>>29631017
>Pokemon is not a real anime.
By definition it is. and which ship is the "top of the mountain" isn't what we're arguing. My point is that amourshipping isn't, and will probably never be canon. As for the shipping mountain I'd go as far as to say the most recent girl is always on top sheerly because they're closer to the endgame while the older one are still in limbo. Fact of the matter is there is no "canon" girl. Shipping in pokemon is pointless because it will always amount to nothing. Serena is proof of this, not the exception.

>>29631029
>I do believe that at the end of it we'll get a little epilogue showing Ash grown up, sending his son off on his own pokémon journey.
>Whether we see the wife then or not, no knows.
Thats probably gonna be the end if there IS an end.
And it all depends on the director if they show who's his wife. I dont think they are gonna show another girl that isn't Serena (unless the anime goes for another 20 years, and no Serena during that time), they'll probably not show Ash's wife.
Or who knows, maybe SM is the last season (it all comes together and shit), and in the end Serena and Ash ends up together.

>>29630293
Lana has the best spot.

They won't show Ash's wife. His son will just be a clone of him.

If there is an ending I hope it won't be like Digimon 02 ending.

>>29630933
I'm gonna say you're right but hell if >>29630914

>>29631095

>>29631059
>By definition it is
You cant take seriously an Anime that only exists to promote games and the franchise. If Pokemon was a real anime, then we would see Ash be 15 years old or something, using his real best team in the league, getting the Serena, and other stuff.

>As for the shipping mountain I'd go as far as to say the most recent girl is always on top sheerly because they're closer to the endgame while the older one are still in limbo
Do you really think people are saying Amour is canon because Serena is just the recent girl? like, for real?

>>29631103
Sounds like to much fanservice and I don't want to remmeber Red grows up while Ash doesn't

>>29631114
kek

It's the year 20XX, and after the failure of Gen 1X, Gamefreak and TPC decided to fold and sell their assets to Sega. You're the man in charge of the anime this season, and one of the executives comes over and tells you the anime is also getting axed, and to give Satoshi whatever closure you want him to have, as long as you don't exceed the miserable budget left.

What do?

>>29631158
Make Ash an researcher, there is no way in hell he will become a pokemon master.

>>29631103
I don't see how it can work though.

>>29631126
They won't show Red in the anime.

What are the odds of having a Serena special in a few months? And what will it consist of?

>>29631158
Here it comes

>camera pans down from the sky to a house in Kantô
>we see a ~3x year old Ash standing in front of the door to the house talking to a little kid that looks just like him, you see him fiddling around with the kid's backpack and putting sandwiches in there
>Ash: "This is a big day you know, I remember how it all started for me... anyway, don't make the professor wait too long, go now. Be safe!"
>we see the kid running off
>Ash shouts after him: "Your mother wants you to be back in time for dinner you hear!"
>we see him look after the kid for a while, as if lost in thought, then return back inside where he seemingly starts talking to his wife
>we don't see her though because the camera pans up into the sky again

Well, am I hired?

>>29631158
Gather the last bits of the pokemon fanbase with talent to make a montage of all of Ash's failures while some edgy song plays in the background as Ash sacrifices himself to save the world from Team StatusQuo destroying it.

>>29631095
Even better, Ash decides to travel around the world and leaves his kid and wife alone.

>>29631117
Whether or not you can take it seriously doesn't make it less of an anime. and I'm sorry to break it to you anon but most anime exist to promote something. whether it be games, LNs, or manga. So your admittedly naive view on "real anime" doesn't hold up. To be honest it's obviously just a defense mechanism to rationalize the anime not going your way. which is childish.

>Do you really think people are saying Amour is canon because Serena is just the recent girl? like, for real?
No. I didn't say "people think" at the beginning of that sentence now did I? I said the most recent girl has more of a chance of being canon than the one before them because they're closer to the end. Also how does one "think" something is canon. That's the most tumblr retard logic I've ever seen outside of tumblr. Something either is canon or is not. Amour is not.

Did they run out of cool scenes? last preview still has the le wacky scenes. I thought they were doing damage control

>>29631276

>he thinks they only care about the "mature" audience

When did you realize Serena was 100 % endgame?
For me it was the "next time we meet I'll be a much more attractive woman"
This literally screams endgame, and Shoko approves Amour
Also of you think they're not gonna show Ash's wife just because some rabid western shippers will get mad, you're very wrong

Daily Reminder that the Legendaries of Life, Death, and Balance are fucking dicks

>>29630519
I really don't feel like Ash is going to be catching any of the starter pokemon. The other trainers seem to be a better match for them. I'm getting a s1 feeling where he picks an alternative from the three starters.

Why did Jean leave the Z tablet with Isla?

>>29631434
>life is unfair
>death is a natural fear for living things
Yep, sounds accurate.

>>29631095
Its a stable time-loop. He gets sent back in him, fucks his own mother, then gets sent back to the present. Afterward, Delia is unable to contain herself anymore and fucks Ash because he remind her too much of his father.

>>29631392
Honestly it wasn't the kiss but that promise. It sounds like "I will become your future bride" and stuff. I know the anime will outlive us but if it had to be one girl it will be Serena.

are raws out? because damn this special was atmospheric as fuck

>>29631554
For now at least. With each passing season it'll become less likely that it's Serena.

Lillie being in the main cast and getting top credit listing makes me hopeful Gladion and Lusamine will eventually get introduced.

The dub won't survive the 5th. It can't. It won't.

Is there any hope that SM Ash can get better?

>>29631772
The movie and preview episodes are already scheduled. You can't stop it.

Even if there are no kids left to watch it, it'll still be aired.

So how long is he going to bi in school?

Like just an episode or two to introduce the region. Or is he there for the whole damn season?

>>29631786
For Europe. CN won't ever say a blasted thing.

>>29631796
No less than 50 episodes. It's the entire fucking gimmick. Hopefully we will still get stuff like a school trip to the Aether Foundation or something.

So you think one of those three girls in Sun and Moon anime have a better chance to be canon than Serena?

>>29632147
Not him but I don't think they'll have another romance subplot or shipbait for a whole while now. Certainly not in SM.

But 10, 20 years from now? Sure, why not. The completely new audience who is then watching it (ignoring the miniscule percentage of people like us) will want to see some stuff too and they're not gonna dig out Serena for them.

I didn't mind Serena, but she was a blank slate who had to be written by the writers to be the kind of character that Lillie is inherently from the get go. There's obviously going to be shipteasing with her in the SM games, so I would be very surprised if none of it transfers to the anime with how important she is to the plot.

Honestly if it weren't for their decision to make Serena the character to crush on Ash, I'd say Lillie would have fit that role much more naturally without skewering her portrayal.

Predict his Alola team. I'll start:

Pikachu
Decidueye
Bewear
Toucan

>Serena was a protagonist character with no personality,
So what about the previous characters: Misty, May, Dawn, and Iris?

>>29632394
$10 internet bucks, you just replied to a tripless Mimi.

>>29632407
Why are you deflecting? Nobody brought them up, nor was there any implication that Serena was an exception.

>>29632406
>Bewear
Anon...

Lillie
>Alolan Vulpix

Mallow
>Bounsweet

Lana
>Popplio

Kiawe
>Turtonator

Sophocles
>Togedemaru

What more, any more?

>>29632382
Lillie isn't real.
Both Serena and Lillie are just fictional characters someone made up together with their personalities and everything else about them.

I'll agree that Serena didn't really do much other than look pretty in the background and felt a bit like an accessory to Ash unlike Dawn for example, but that's a completely different thing.

This thread seems so bitter and downy.

Post something to cheer it up.

Lillie is Serena done right (no, not saying that "Lillie a best girl!", speaking from characterization)

But, I don't blame the writers for this. It isn't like they could have known that Lillie was going to be created when XY was being produced.

>>29632454
Team Rocket gets it, newshit

>>29632463
Why is there no possibility this would happen?

>>29632425
>Unlike Dawn
>Dawn
Hahahahahahahahaha

>>29632485
They are different and SM hasn't been released. Are you insane?

And XY had shipbait with Shauna

So if Lillie is going to be "Serena done right" how would her relationship with Ash be handled, how could they "top Serena"?

>>29632506
Wonder how nobody is posting "it was in the cheek" anymore? Exactly.

Ash married Serena

Why do people hate Cilan?

>>29632474
>>29632490
Right, I completely forgot about the posters. Oh well, my mistake.

>>29632520
More naturally developed, I hope. As someone said earlier, Serena felt more like "an accessory" to Ash than someone who stood by his side.

>>29632524
I don't hate him but he is shallow

>>29632504
Dawn could've literally stood on her own and have a series follow her.

Serena couldn't. She does nothing other than dance occasionally.

>>29632535

what?

is this /padt/'s future?

>>29632588
Actual discussion? I hope so.

How the fuck is Lillie even similar to Serena? And it's not like game Lillie and anime Lillie are comparable beyond them being smart and knowledgeable.

Game Lillie:
>professor's assistant, mysterious pretty girl "RPG main heroine" character, has a personality that's a mix between elegantly cute, serious and determined, is a Pokemon expert, hates Pokemon battles, has Solgaleo/Lunana's pre-evo and is following her own agenda

Anime Lillie
>fellow classmate, intelligent pretty girl archetype, I guess she seems to have a similarl-ish "elegantly cute"/serious personality to the game but she seems to have more silly moments due to her inability to touch Pokemon, loves Pokemon but can't touch them, doesn't seem to know about Aether's plans even if she ends up being related once the main story begins

Is it true that all the episodes without Ash are automatically good?

>>29632599
>once the main story begins
>implying there IS a main story beyond Ash fucking around

>"Lillie is Serena done right"
??????????????????????????
Is this Mimi ?

>>29632599
>How the fuck is Lillie even similar to Serena?
They aren't. The guy talking probably just joined because of SM

>Serena is going to be the girl who does the in-game girl stuff

>Okay but that's already been done seasons before with two other girls; how do we further the character beyond that?

>She...likes Ash?

Serena wasn't all that complex, but neither really was Dawn or May.

>>29632607
>Ash fucking around
Hope Lillie, Mallow and Lana are ready... does he have enough stamina for all of them?

>>29632599
Half of that is speculation.

Why didn't they make Serena like Game Serena?

>>29632607
But Lillie is in the main cast! Can they really ignore her family? And Team Skull is already confirmed.

>>29632605
Seen Pokemon Chronicle?

>>29632641
She didn't have one. The writers made up a personality .

What's with those deleted posts?

>>29632645
>And Team Skull is already confirmed.
Not Aether tho

>>29632641
Game Serena = MC = no character, empty husk for the player

Lillie is not the MC in the games though

>>29632632
What is speculation? Her personality is pretty clearly "elegantly cute". She has typical "cute elegant girl" mannerisms like in the shot in which she bows down to look at Satoshi on the floor or how she calls Pokemon "Pokemon-san" in the Japanese version of the game.

+++++ ALERT TO NEW THREAD MAKER +++++

So can we admit that protagonists as main cast characters was a mistake? It feels much better and more natural to have characters that already have a personality tailored to them. I'm glad the chicken was skipped over.

I hate Serena.

HATLESS Serena has a personality in the games, though. Even if it's basically being a big loser.

>>29632641
They don't even make Ash similar to the male protagonist of the games.

But anime Lillie fills literally the role of explaining things, like Kapu Kokeko
She's the new Clemont in that sense

>>29632690
>believing Dawn was a more fleshed out character than Serena
>believing she was anything more than "the girl who did the boring mini-in-game girl content"

Uh, yeah...

>>29632764
A female Clemont that Ash has a crush on

If Serena does reappear in SM, what do you want to happen?

Yes.

Just like Misty in Johto, and Iris. Everything will be fun and fine!

>>29632764
You mean the new Brock? There is always a companion filling his role.

>>29632742
Because Misty and Iris were much better than the other girls, sure
>>29632742
>It feels much better and more natural
you mean easy

>>29632778
I want her to get jealous at Ash being surrounded by three girls all the time

>>29632777
Why would Ash have a crush on someone like Lillie?

>>29632778
For her to be cucked.

>>29632778
If she doesn't appear in SM, the special will be about her progress in Hoenn.

Why not make everyone in the anime gym leaders, it would give them more personality

She's beautiful and half pokémon
Also Ash is into blondes

What's wrong with Ash's voice in the trailers? I hope Rica dies

>>29632813
How? Mallow is just there to be a female Brock, Lana can pass off as a boy, and Lillie will be BLACKED.

>>29632778
about her getting destroyed in contests.

but can serena make a pokeblock?

>>29632778
To be blown the fuck out by another girl's affection for Ash.

>>29632834
Edgy.

>>29632764
Lillie is the "top of the class smart girl" archetype.

>>29632863
Lillie is

1) that one smart girl who always aces her tests
2) that nobleman's daughter who doesn't know much about the life of commoners
3) afraid of touching pokémon due to some experiments that were done on her in the aether foundation labs
4) half human half interdimensional jellyfish
5) secretly yandere

>>29632825
Because then Ash would want to battle everyone.

>>29632894
>that nobleman's daughter who doesn't know much about the life of commoners
not this shit again

>>29632645
>And Team Skull is already confirmed.
They'll either be comic relief or have about 8 or so episodes out of two hundred.

>>29632917
He is baiting.

>>29632894
At this point, it seems everyone has a different idea of what Lillie will be and do in the anime.

Now watch it as everyone is proven wrong. Again.

I like how nobody discuss what Mallow and Lana characters will be because it's obvious and had more complex descriptions. I guess they are better characters by>>29632742
logic

>>29632936
It would actually explain her character though.
She's never had to (or was allowed to) deal with pokémon herself, being raised a noble daughter on some country estate.
Hence why she's afraid of pokémon. All other kids grew up with pokémon, being used to them, looking forward to becoming trainers even and such. But she never got to deal with them before so it's all new to her.

>>29632894
>secretly yandere

!!!!!!!

>>29632774
Dawn was good as battling and got like 2 times as much screentime and good moments than Serena.

Will we ever see Ashley again? She was best girl.

>>29632983
>because it's obvious
You said it, not much room for guessing.

>Mallow
Genki type oneechan class president who's always full of energy. Loves to cook and helps out at the family restaurant. The exotic stews she makes are not for everyone, though... (running gag)

>Lana
Tomboyish nice girl who takes care of her many younger sisters and had to become responsible from early on. Helps her dad at his local fishing supply store. Very nice.

>>29633013
>girl

Son....

>>29632947
It will be the explaining things role
She will probably ace her tests, but everything else on that list is bs

>>29632984
Even the first-class people in the series have pokemon as companions, pets, guardians, servants, etc. Why would Lillie be any different?

>>29633042
She was just very sheltered for some reason. Maybe she was a sickly child.

Kissu !

How can Lillie be super-knowledgeable about Pokemon and know nothing about them at the same time? It's probably some sort of trauma with varying degrees of seriousness depending on what the show wants to do.

>>29633030
There's no much room for guessing anyone
All 5 companions already have established backgrounds and personalities, and that's because developing 5 characters would be a waste of time
Expect minimal development for anyone who is not Ash

>>29633066
tell me more, autist

So Ash getting Rowlet is confirmed? The archer is the coolest final starter this gen so I guess that was obvious.

Did anybody else want Ash to push Serena down the escalator when she went for the kiss? Ash being like, "BITCH, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?! THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?!"

That only works in the game setting because she is traveling all through Alola. In the anime she is constantly in the school so stealing Cosmog makes no sense if she wasn't going to run away.

I bet she will get focus on the inevitable Cosmog/Lunala/Solgaleo movie.

It's funny because a fully character driven series is a little more complex than your usual Pokemon adventure, because it risks getting stale very quickly if done wrong
