>>31166643
>think it's pretty cool that they were swaying towards Serena being Ash's partner, a brave step for such a rigid series
I hope someday they show it

>>31166640
Her coming back for one episode and then fucking off into the sunset until it "ends" isn't much of a return.

>>31166615
If by helping out, she means sex, right? She totally means sex, right?

>>31166747
no you stupid haremfag

>>31166747
She loves Lillie.

>>31166737
They probably won't, but that's what the purpose of that kissu scene was...so they wouldn't have to go through the hassle of showing it later on.

>>31166595
Episode 3-8 have all focused on individual characters/Pokemon in order to establish them properly. It's not very different fro how earlier series did it, it just feels slower and less relevant since Ash isn't actively traveling towards his next goal while having small adventures on the way this time around. Instead he's just kinda sitting around doing nothing trial-relevant while the small adventures find him.

They could have done a better job with the presentation.

In conclusion...
Yajima said "probably"
Amourfags interpret it as canon
Anti-amours interpret it as not canon

>>31166745
>a return isn't much of a return

>>31166793
I mean, it's still miles better than what any pokegirl got or will get. It's either Amour or thinking Ash will die virgin

Serena would be irrelevant in SM

>>31166860
SM is irrelevant anyways

>>31166860
She was irrelevant in her own bloody series until practically half way into it.

>>31166889

>>31166910
Maybe, but that's no excuse for how her story was paced.

>>31166857
I've seen other children's shows with romance subplots that end in a similar way to how Amour did, with confirmation by word of god. For a show like this, it might as well be canon. Denialfags are just overthinking this, and shitposters gonna shitpost.

How long have they been damage controlling? 48 hours straight now?

SatoRirie is barely shipped in Japan as I understand it, given the total lack of shipping "hints," let alone the total lack of subplot.

If people refer to all the other ships by their autistic Serebii or Bulbapedo names here without issue, then you shouldn't get worked up over someone calling the Ash-Lillie ship by its corresponding name, even though I agree with you that it's a shitty name that doesn't seem to have anything to do with anything.

>>31170201
Take your anger out on Sppf or Bulbapedo, not other anons

>>31170159
It's still early in the series so its natural to have few fanart/hints. Which is fine because we don't need to deal with another Serena shipping. By the end the ship would be haruka's or hikari's level.

Even if you aren't, all this roleplay posting and pic dumping is pretty annoying, and even more annoying when it's concerning a totally headcanon-based ship.

RWBY's honestly the only anime with good ship names

If your ship name has the word "shipping" in it, then that's lazy as hell

Shipping names used to be simple because they described whatever the characters were best known for:

>That one Anon who said that Ash wasn't going to be getting Z-Crystals.
Hope he killed himself before the year started.

So Ash will have to have to catch dragon, fairy, ice, dark, and psychic types this time? He's going to have a lot of pokemon, or he'll bring back his old mons if he's going to use all the Z-Crystals.

>>31174704
Z-Crystals are tied to move type, not Pokemon type.
He's using the Normal crystal with Pikachu in the preview despite Pikachu not being Normal type

>>31174704
Are you retarded? Of course he won't use all of them.

>>31174704
I don't think he will use all,anon.

>>31174364
I wonder how people would react if we do get long hair Anabel and through some flashback, she had hooked up with her universe's Ash but unable to remember except a tightness in her chest when she see child Ash?

>>31174713
I'm aware of that, but I don't think he has any pokes that can use fairy type moves. Noctowl is his only psychic type, and I doubt he'll return unless Greninja comes back with Extrasensory. Does Ash even have a poison type?

Only ones that I'm aware of that can use the Dragon crystal are Charizard and Gible. I can see them saving Ash's Charizard for the movie rather than having him for the series, and his Gible isn't that popular.

Ash's newly caught Alola mons will probably make up for types that he hasn't caught. For instance, he won't get the regional flying type as he has many birds that can use the Flying Crystal, and Decidueye will be his first ghost type. He'll probably catch his first poison and first fairy types too.

>>31174715
>>31174723
At first it was
>he wont get all the z-crystals and aether wont appear
Now it's
>he won't use all the z-moves
Given that they're having Ash do all sorts of wacky shit, I'm sure he'll use all of them for the sake of doing the Z-Moves poses.

>>31174791
Her involvement in S/M is such an anime-incompatible mess it's pretty much guaranteed they won't include her. Characters that have appeared in younger and older versions in different games have only ever had one version appear in the anime.

>>31174827
He doesn't need to do all the z-moves himself since we have other people with z-rings. He can do a majority of it, and simply let the other classmates handle the rest. We have, at minimum, Lana for Water and Primarina, Mallow for Grass, Kiawe for Fire, and so forth.

>>31174827
>Does Ash even have a poison type?

Also, they'll just have him catch shit that has an okay variety of moves.

Noctowl can use Moonblast now anyway, if he really needs a Fairy Crystal user

It's producers who have the final word on what can or can't be in the anime. Yajima alone couldn't have put this romance if the producers didn't approve of his idea. And they approved.

>>31174827
>I'm aware of that, but I don't think he has any pokes that can use fairy type moves.
Pikachu can use Disarming Voice

>>31174832
Not really. I mean, XY already did have an episode on another verse ala Magic! Clemont and so forth. Not to mention the post-game UB story is fantastic. It would be a shame if they don't do it in some form.

>>31174876
So they approved of Ash getting a possible endgame girl, but didn't approve a league victory?

>>31174876
I'm sure they had approved of the usual shipteasing, but I am reasonably certain what Yajima did pretty much pushed the boundary as far as he could without having them come and smack him down for his ship-boner.

I don't think Serena using Ash's clothes could count as "usual" shipteasing.

Hell, it's not even something you usually find in other animu, even romanceshit series.

Don't be absurd, as someone from /a/, what Pokemon did in terms of 'romance' is babby-tier.

>>31174951

Yes, both Lillie and Liverpoo are getting BTFO.

>>31175000
>Case in point, has Ash ever used aura ever again since his time at Frontier?

Pokemon IS babby-tier kodomomuke anime for kindergarten children.

Now it sounds less amour-y.

>>31175148
Yes anon, shipteasing. Because it was soft-reset at the finale. Because nothing sticks.

>>31175158
I think he's begging the future director/producers to make it happen, which will probably not because gen 8 is being made as we speak.

More of the interview was posted:

Oguro (Interviewer): I haven't watched the episode, so this might be a stupid question, but did Serena's love (for Ash) come to fruition? (Note: This interview was conducted hours before the final episode)
Yajima (Director): It didn't in the episode. I ended it in a way that her love will hopefully come to fruition in the future. Serena told Ash that she's going to improve herself, and then come back to him. Afterwards, she did something that's revolutionary-worthy (laugh). In the middle of production, I added in a scene intended to show them kissing. It's just that I wasn't allowed to have them kissing on screen, so I had Serena's feet "floating" to show it instead.
Oguro: So depending on how you view it, it seems like they might be kissing, right?
Producer (No name): No, it should look like they were definitely kissing.
Yajima: (Laugh) Whether they kissed or she whispered something in his ear, that scene was supposed to be ambiguous.
Oguro: For Pokemon, the XY series is quite the transition. In XY, you guys included a scene where Serena was thinking if she was on a date with Ash when they were walking on the street, blushing and all. The drama itself is quite interesting, but it does make you think how her feeling will be brought to conclusion.
Yajima: I was the one who wrote the final episode, but I tend to put my pen down whenever it's their parting scene. "How should I end it so that it'd be fair for her" tend to be the reason.
Producer: The actual scene differed from the screenplay, after all.
Yajima: That is true (laugh). The scene had her riding on the escalator for a bit, and then she ran back up and kissed him. Naturally, the escalator will take her down again, right? So while she's kissing him, she'll be pulled away. That's the scene that I wanted to make.
Producer: Kids are the main target audience, after all, so among the things we can't do, this series is definitely on the edge.

>>31175137
It's something that only Lucario are able to truly tap into, but that humans can work with to a very minor extent, primarily in order to communicate with Lucario.

The Riolu two-parter was specifically about a very special Riolu that could sense Aura despite not having evolved yet (it was a tie-in to an event distro of a Riolu that knew Aura Blast) and Ash was able to read its memories because of this.

It's not some generic shit you can do with Pokemon in general, it's very specifically a Lucario thing.

>>31175158
It was obviously made tolease the otaku that followed the show for the ship. The interview is much more direct at the fact that it was all him and less of the rest of the staff which he has no input anymore.

>>31175202
>and less of the rest of the staff
>imblying

>>31175176
But it's not "usual" because it was never done before in this show, and it's not even done anymore right now.

>>31175202
>and less of the rest of the staff
>

>>31175095
>Producer
???

>>31175095
Might as well have included the rest

>Also, from the screenplay, Ash is actually dazed by Serena's kiss, rather than "he showed no reaction" as a few others may have speculated.

>Fun fact: Clemont was supposed to be blushing and completely paralyzed after witnessing the kiss, including the part where they were saying their farewell to Serena.

>>31175144
But not WHERE they kissed unfortunately

>>31175197
>so among the things we can't do, this series is definitely on the edge
What are the things Pokemon can't do but XY was on the edge of doing?

>>31175198
And yet when he encountered Korrina and Lucario in XY, and their subsequent journey together, he didn't mention a damn thing about Aura. One would think being an Aura Guardian would be a big deal to Lucario and vice versa.

>>31175331
That arc was too busy shilling Korrina.

What are you even trying to do? This feels like "Serena will 100% definitely never return because Iris didn't and that's the only past instance I'll consider" all over again.

>>31175268
Like I said, they had assumed it was the usual stuff, and in the end, since it had ultimately amounted to nothing (soft-reset) and it was the director's last season, they let him have some fun, under the expectation that it wouldn't lead to anywhere in the future seasons, like always.

>>31175328
Ash winning the league.

>>31175349
They never assumed it was the usual stuff, because such "usual" stuff never existed, it was never done before, so there is nothing "usual" about it. Stop saying it's "usual" I don't care about your soft-reset.

>>31175349
But it had been more than the usual stuff since day one.The "usual stuff" is "there's not really any romance but some ans might potentially interpret a couple random select scenes here and there as meaning more than they do", and that was not what XY did with Serena.

>>31175095
The "hopefully her love" thing is significantly less end gaming sounding than Dephenders translation.

>>31175348
Anon, seriously. All I'm trying to say is that the anime gets soft-reset at the end/start of every season. The Pokemon Anime is a community toybox. Everyonr gets a turn to play with it, as long as they return everything back to the way it was so the next person can play with it. Don't think too much into it and just enjoy the ride.

>>31175370
Agree.
Adamant's translation was more like "Yes, there are high chance that they will be together, we see Serena as potential endgame for Ash"

Now it's like "Well, you can hope lol"

>>31175363
>>31175366
To be fair, the first half was the usual stuff, with Serena just playing the embarrassed type that was too busy spilling her sphagetti to get her feelings across. It was played for laughs for the most part. It was XYZ that ramped it up to beyond the usual stuff.

>>31175370
Yeah but the person who translated that said sending the interview to Adamant was still the best option.

>>31175397
We have to wait for a better translation for the last one

>>31175418
No other MC spilled her sphagetti towards ash before, so there is nothing usual about that either.

>>31175418
>To be fair, the first half was the usual stuff, with Serena just playing the embarrassed type that was too busy spilling her sphagetti to get her feelings across
That's not "the usual stuff". Why are you damage controlling this hard if you've never even watched the series before?

>>31166587
No one cares.

>>31175421
Also Adamant revised the translation like 3 times, so I think it's safe to assume it's correct.

>>31175463
Usual, as in, not taken seriously nor the focal part of the anime. It was played for laughs and we are given the impression that we shouldn't be taking it seriously. It was just this season's quirk, kinda like Iris and her habit of calling Ash a kid.

>>31175507
This is Mami tier.

>>31175524
>implying it isn't a tripless mimi

>>31175490
So, which is one is the correct
Adamant or the guy who translated that?
Which translation did he revised 3 times?

>>31175524
Seriously, anon? That is how you choose to reply? If you just take the events of XY seperately from XYZ, seeing Serena constantly spilling her sphagetti was amusing. I genuinely thought it was going to continue that way until the end, with it being played for laughs.

>>31175124

The escalator is a really good metaphor for the entire pokemon anime. But good to know that they really did kiss.

>>31175739
I'm not even sure why you're acting so defensive when I haven't said a bad thing about Serena or her shipping yet. I even thought Serena was cute in her attempts at trying to not spill her sphagetti in the first half. But even then, during that half, I don't think I've ever thought 'This is going to be serious' at any point. It was cute and amusing.

>>31175095
So Ash and Serena don't want to be separated from one another but have to be.

>>31175989
You make it sound sad

>>31175989
It applies more to Serena than Ash as Ash does not give a fuck about any of his previous companions. The only constants are Pikachu and Delia.

>>31175798
It's one of those activity comics loosely based on the anime that run in some kid magazines in Japan.
Adamant translated some early SM one that followed the plot of SM1 to a slight degree.

From Adamant:

Apparently the idea of Serena's crush wasn't actually Yajima's:
>Q: From the very beginning, XY comes across as if we're looking at Satoshi from Serena's point of view. Whose idea was this?
>A: I believe this originated from something Shukichi Kanda said at a planning meeting; "Wouldn't it be interesting to have a female lead like this?". It was then proposed that we could do a scene where Satoshi and Serena met in the past that had romantic implications, and then we went off that and developed things from there.

My god, you have finally cracked the code. Dazed = Love. THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING! That means everytime Pikachu has shocked him and left him daze, it was Ash's way of saying he wants to fuck Pikachu. Truly, PikachuXAsh is the OTP that has been foreshadowed since the first episode. Shipping is officially over, folks, we now have achieved canon.
