Pikachu/Buneary or Pikachu/Togedemaru?

>>31193929
Pikachu/Togedemaru is already canon

Can we forget about Serena already?

I'm so bored with this new series already. This new episode this week better be good.

Here you go, senpai:
>Hopefully this summary is accurate. The interview tells us:
>>that the kiss scene, while meant to *look* ambiguous, was definitely depicting an off-screen kiss;
>>that people were correct to interpret the scene as signaling that Serena's love will come to fruition someday because she will return for him later on as a more beautiful/charming woman;
>>that Amour was neither Yajima's idea nor was it meant to be a regional gimmick, but rather another staffer's suggestion for the Kalos main girl's backstory/character;
>>that Satoshi actually did react to the kiss, in a dazed/starstruck way;
>>that Satoshi-Gekkouga was created by GF and put into the S/M games after Yajima wanted to find a way to give those two characters a unique bond in the XY&Z anime;
>>that the "Alan Skywalker" memes were really onto something after all;
>>that the mega-evolution specials didn't start out as mega-evolution-oriented episodes, but as Alan-introduction/development episodes, and eventually they decided to give them a mega-evolution flavor;
>>that XY&Z's relative lack of filler was due to time constraints;
>>that nobody knew exactly how long the Kalos generation of the anime would last when it first started;
>>that Satoshi's XY design was primarily Yajima's, and his sideburns were inspired by Red;
>>that everyone basically forgot about Professor Okido

>>31194674
Various interesting tidbits from the recent interview with Yajima:
*The kiss scene is indeed meant to be Serena kissing Satoshi, and his reaction to it is surprised awe, any ambiguity the scene has is so they could get it on TV in the first place.
*Likewise, you're meant to hope and assume the two of them are going to become a couple later.
*The idea to have a romance subplot apparently came from producer Shukichi Kanda, who came up with the idea of portraying things through a female lead's admiration for Satoshi, which then led to the suggestion that they'd have a flashback to a childhood meeting with romantic implications.
*Yajima did not know exactly how long the series would last, only that it would have to end when the next games came out.
*Alan was always meant to be part of the main series. The reason the four Mega specials were made was because it would be difficult to set up his backstory and development in the series itself, so he came up with the idea of giving him his own episodes that could establish his character. The idea to give these episodes a mega evolution theme came later, and was also his idea (so they were not made or the purpose of marketing megas, or in order to test the water for a series with another main character or any other such theory).
*Also, Alan is meant to be an "Anakin Skywalker-type character", someone who turns to the dark side to protect those he loves.
*Satoshi's XY design was primarily Yajima's, and the idea for his sideburns were taken from "a character from the video games named Red, which Satoshi is based on".
*Yajima wanted to make the bond between Satoshi and Gekkouga a major part of the story, but felt it would be difficult to do so if it had to remain a Gekkouga, so he went to Game Freak, and they came up with the idea of a synchro transformation. It was put in Sun/Moon afterwards, but was created during this discussion between anime staff and GF.

>>31194707

*The interviewer notes that Okido didn't appear at all outside of episode 3, and that Okido's lecture segment getting replaced with PokeTV when XY&Z started meant that Okido didn't appear at all throughout all of XY&Z (the interview was conducted before XY&Z47 had aired) and asks if there was a reason for this. Yajima confirms this was a complete oversight, not something intentional. Presumably this goes for other callbacks to older series as well.
*When XY&Z started, Yajima knew that the series had to wrap up everything in only a year, and they did a meeting to basically set up how the events of that year would go. He also specifically says that this is the reason there's minimal filler in XY&Z, there was absolutely no room.
*Yajima wanted to drop the use of stock footage completely, but this wasn't possible to do, so they went with creating stock foreground footage that could have different backgrounds added to it instead.

MAYMAY MAGIC SONS OF BITCHES

Also it's fucking sad that there was no Z games.
So fucking sad.
Maybe we'd have got even more of this goodness

>>31194032
I don't get the original line? Seems kinda awkward.

Reminder that they used an escalator to portray the loneliness of being forcefully separated.

>>31194809
It's just awkwardly translated, I guess.

>>31194818
>the loneliness of being forcefully separated.

?

It's not like Serena HAD to separate from Ash.

I wish they had said anything in the interview about the following two things:

>why Alan ended up as the only undefeated rival
>the league pacing and what the fuck was that big golden shuriken

>>31194864
yes by the execs

>>31194864
From a meta point of view, yes, because it's hard to find a reason for her to go to school to Alola.

>>31194873
>>why Alan ended up as the only undefeated rival
confidential
>>the league pacing and what the fuck was that big golden shuriken
confidential :^)

>>31194873
It was a Z-move, probably will appear in the next game.

>>31194891
Honestly though, I think they should at least have some other returning characters since Alola is literally a vacation hotspot.

What's in the egg Ash brought to Alola?

>>31194928
tfw
>SM 089: Kasumi Returns!! Koduck Gets Lost?!

>>31195090
>Kanto Eevee
As opposed to Alola Eevee?

>>31194032
Why did they change the scene?

>>31195110
The original was too much

>>31194993
Kanto Vulpix

>>31195106
Meant to say Vulpix the first time. Had a brain fart. Lillie's egg has Alola Vulpix in it.

>>31194864
Yes she had.
We didn't see Serena being conflicted about leaving Ash because she would obviously have chosen to stay with him, but that's something that can't happen.
Also it'd have been a sad farewell.

Pikachu was so based in the Alan battle

How do you make these look so nice? Like in terms of jagged edges.

I'm assuming patience + polygonal select tool in photoshop/something similar, because that's how I used to make stuff.

>>31195382
>I'm assuming patience + polygonal select tool in photoshop/something similar
Pretty much this. Most of these take time. Every now and then I get one that's really easy to do (such as a meme-face character with a really thick black outline) where I can use the smart-selection tool instead of the polygonal-selection tool.

>>31194882
>by the execs
So amour is not canon?

>>31195451
it is but serena can't come to a sm season

>>31194906
Not likely. That would put Greninja into some next level shilling at that point.
>Gee, Greninja, why do they give you a unique pseudo-Mega form and a unqiue z-move?

>>31195451
It was never canon, because we're never going to see it happen and they could always introduce a new love interest for Ash later.

>>31195469
But in gen 8 there will be another main girl

>>31195318
Pikachu is in dire need of a new move. The Z moves are nice, but give him extreme speed or something because Ash loves quick attack to much. Or just let him use volt tackle again.

>>31195549
I don't think so, but it's possible

>>31195649
I'm an Amourfag but I don't see why everyone is so excited about what was said. In a show like this that goes on forever, there is no true endgame for Ash.

Sometimes there's endgame enough, which is what this is. Not everything has to conform to the "it needs to happen at the end of a series and show a time skip where they are married with kids!" standard that Westerners are used to.

Japan got the picture, but for some reason Westerners refuse to.

>As if japanese children are interested in this shit

>>31195777
A lot of kids shows have romance in them. When I was only 8-9 I picked up on romance in cartoons, its not like kids today don't care about it.

Some has them, but for children, romance is not what they are focusing on when watching shows. It's a nice addition, but they rather have giant explosions and penis jokes instead.

>>31195845
I don't know what is this?
But it says Shudo doesn't care about Misty and Pokeshipping he prefered Team Rocket so he deleted Misty from the series

>>31195889
Is this bait, anon?

>>31195856
It's an old Shudo interview explaining why he axed Misty at the end of Johto instead of Team Rocket.

He basically says Misty had no purpose on the show (which during Johto, is true), and that her crush on Ash didn't exist or he didn't want it to happen because Pokemo isn't about romance.

>>31195920
Wow, it's very direct.

>>31195881
Apparently they care otherwise amour would have been dropped long ago.

>>31195903
Misyy: Yes

I wish the writers would reveal in an interview why they haven't let Ash win a league in 20 years.

>>31195952
Test it

>>31195975
I think you mean "prove it"

>>31195953
I still don't understand why SM exists

>>31196053
Why do so many artists have Bonnie witnessing Ash/Serena's first time?

Ash and Misty is a cuter couple... and it actually feels genuine and not as forced as Ash and Serena was. Pokeshipping is and will always be more popular. When regular people think about Ash and his girl they think of Ash and Misty, not Ash and Serena.

>>31195839
The interview is still spreading... but you can already see some heavy damage control on places like tumblr or pearlshipping vault.
It's amusing.

>>31196237
Yes. Pearlshipping was just really popular especially in Japan, only recently surpassed by Amour. By the time DP began people wanted a new Ash ship, and Ash/Dawn had a close bond. But the writers had Dawn not like boys.

>>31196128
End of Za Warudo

Wasn't there a producer on the interview?
Why?

>>31196274
>>31196235
kill yourself already scott

>>31196274
People generally like Ash taking a mentor like role to his new traveling companion, so him being a mentor type to Lillie works out nicely. I mean it worked pretty well with Dawn and Serena, but not so much May.

>>31195920
Shudo left the show long before Johto ended.

Does Scott even watch the anime nowadays? It seems all he does is fap to may, read doujins and post on 4chan and other pokeani sites.

>>31196352
He left the show but still had some say which is why the anime staff all listened to him to axe Misty but keep Team Rocket around.

>>31196290
An unknown producer

>>31196360
I've watched every single episode of the anime to date. Even all of BW and all of the Johto fillers. I've seen every episode of the anime at least once.

>>31194016
so what was /vp/'s reaction when dawn was replaced by Cilan in black and white? did they spam dawn images until the season 2?

>>31196363
It sounds more like the translator misinterpreted and this was just Shudo explaining why (he assumed) she got written out.

>>31196383
There weren't many anime fans on /vp/ back in 2010. Back then most people discussed the anime on serebii/bulbagarden. These anime threads didn't even start till XY in 2013.

>>31196371

Back in 2012 I did a marathon rewatch of most of the show. Also as a kid I used to watch reruns of the OS and AG daily on TV since they used to air afternoons on KidsWb when I was a kid, so I saw the episodes multiple times.

I've also watched DP about 3 times.

tbqh, Misty was an unleashed gorilla cunt. She hated Ash's guts, resorted to violence against him and craved for Orange Islands dicks every moment. Compared to the carrot headed slut, Serena is just an innocent goddess.

Asuka & Shinji's relationship was the typical dense loser x hysterical tsundere 'till deconstruction started to kick in.

Tbqh, Ash should've choked Misty... too bad Pokemon is a young kids show. It would've been really nice to see Ash having enough of the abuse Misty did to him and snapping to the point of choking her until the mandatory "Pikachu stopping him with a thundershock".

Misty's personality resembled a lot of 90's era anime girls at the time. Misty was a product of her time, back then tsundere girls with huge tempers were very popular in Japan.

As we got into the 2000's more girly and feminine girls got more popular, hence the anime transitioning to May and then the far more girly Dawn...and Serena being a waifu...and now Lillie.

It's just some nip speculating.
But I hope he's wrong.

>>31196554
I dunno, I felt like Ash got a lot of charater in SM. Granted, it's the little things like him calling his mother 'mama' like the mama's boy that he is, empathizing with Litten's situation of being raised by a single parent, him being a dumbass at housework because he really hasn't shown to do any sort of housework before, or him deciding to use Rowlet over Pikachu against James because he wanted to train him instead of outright winning, or just how he gave the final pastry to Pikachu instead of finishing it himself.

Also in XY were you able to reverse from boy/girl choice at char creation stage?

Why do you hate Misty?

>>31196826
Sorry, 女装 specifically refers to boys dressing as girls.
XY&Z22 didn't have that.

>>31196871
Probably because of people who post things like this:

http://pokeshipping.tumblr.com/post/155352439197/i-dont-get-why-the-writers-would-take-a-random

That person said Serena is, "just a random girl from a random gen, and isn't iconic like Misty."

A lot of pokeshippers are butt-hurt about the Yajima interview about Serena, its hilarious.

I still like pre-Johto Misty, but I swear Misty fans have the most annoying fanbase of all time. Its been 14 years since Misty was written off and they're still posting angry rants about Misty leaving and how she should return and bashing all the other characters.

14 years of autism.

>>31196871

Because of her fans... mostly anti-serena and anti-amour shitposters.

Besides...

>Tsun without dere. Literally hated Ash's guts because of a fucking bike.
>The real slut. She wanted desperately some Orange Island cocks, Don Giorgio, Tracey... she even praised Gary and compared him with Ash in the japanese version.
>Bad taste in Pokemon. How in the entire pokeverse can someone find cute a fucking Tentacruel and a Tentacool?????
>Lethal Cooker. Even worse than other tsundere who are bad cookers as well. So bad she even can't taste her own food.
>Equally vague goal as Ash and Iris.
>Hypocrytical and vain. She comes herself as more mature and smartass than her male companions, but she's just a fuckin child with self esteem issues, equally impulsive and arrogant as OS Ash and with a superiority-inferiority complex towards Ash.

>>31196920
Wasn't it obvious? Even in the game, the family theme was prevalent. 'What makes a family?' is essentially the core of the fame. Guzma and his father, Olivia and Mallow, Ilima and how proud his family of him, the MC and his/her mother, Team Skull and their devotion to their big brother/father figure Guzma, and so forth. Despite having aliens from another dimension, it was the most down-to-earth entry into the franchise.

From that post:

>I don't get why the writers would take a random female player character from a random generation of the game, and then adapt her to the anime as the end all be all relationship for Ash. Not with all the history in the show with other girls, primarily Misty, who is iconic and ubiquitous with Pokemon. What are they thinking? Why mistreat old fans for a game generation that's now over and will never have the longstanding following of pokeshipping? Here's hoping Nintendo puts the kibosh on that.

"Will never have a longstanding following of Pokeshipping" Looks like they're bitter about the translated Amour interview.

At least Ash/Serena is a canon ship confirmed with a possible endgame. Ash/Misty was literally killed off by Shudo years before Serena existed.

>>31197208
WTF?

>>31197277
>Maybe I should have explained my reasons. I was thinking the same you said: anything is canon in the anime until we see "the end". In fact, Yajima doesn't work in the anime anymore and he was just stating his opinion. I'm glad he recognizes that Serena's love for Ash didn't come to fruition, he hopes it will in a future, but like you said the decision of one Director/writer is not the definitive one..

Look at this damage control. I swear you can't make this stuff up. This person thinks Yajima said "Ash and Serena's love didn't come into fruition" when that's exactly what the director implied.

Pokeshippers butt-hurt is hilarious.

Shipping in general was a fucking mistake.

>>31197318
And that's not even Adamant's translation.

>>31197333
Yeah probably tears of laughter, I laugh at all shippers for thinking their ship will sail and it will be funny to see amourshippers in the same situation as pokéshippers.

Everyone is replaced, always.

>>31197374

>>31197353

Did people really not expect Pokeshippers to be butt-hurt once they saw the Yajima interview? I knew this was going to happen, especially the line about "Ash and Serena will become a couple in the future" part.

As I said, you can't make this stuff up. Pokeshippers are still like this in the year 2017, they've been doing this for 14 years. Some things never change.

>>31197382
Being totally fair people are free to ship anything they like, but when people are delusional and start thinking anything at all is canon then it's dumb af. The anime will never end.

>>31197417
It's not about ending, it's about confirming what will happen in their future before it happens, and in this case Amour was confirmed.

>>31197442
>>31197025

>>31197442
A probability is not a confirmation

>>31197467
A probability above zero is better than any other girl, even the current ones in the show, so if it's more probable than any other girl will ever get, then it's the only one that will get it.

>>31197535
>so if it's more probable than any other girl will ever get, then it's the only one that will get it.
>will ever get

Oh hey, you can see the future? That must be pretty cool.

>>31197501
Mami pls

>To be honest, I don't think the anime should allow any of these shippings, including pearlshipping, on Pokémon. My reasoning is because by picking a girl for Ash to date, the anime would satisfy some fans and anger many. It would also come across as a jab to the other generations of Pokémon fans that did not get to see their girl date Ash since every girl represents a different time for Pokémon. If they were to pick Serena as Ash's future girlfriend, it would infuriate the fans of generations 1-5 and gen 7 on since most of those fans gravitate towards the girl of their favorite generation(not all of them, but most). And finally, they are 10 years old, 10! I find it silly that so many fans want to see 10 year olds date. I know Pearlshipping is between 10 year olds, but I support it because I support them being a couple in the future, plus I want to see Dawn return to the anime

You agree with this guys?

>>31197557
No, Lillie won't have a subplot with Ash, and you already were BTFO by her episode, lilliecuck.

>>31197557
Why would the writers backpedal after getting this much into this couple?

>>31197564
This doesn't really matter. Most of the people who shipped Ash with May/Dawn or now with the SM girls don't mind Amour.

>>31197585
The same reason Ash gets reset every season. To keep the anime going. The same people that worked on amour might not be the same that decide the end of the anime if it ever ends. Hell, even if they're the same people they are under no obligation to end it with Serena. None of this means anything until it actually happens.

I mean, what are they going to do? Complain about it on tumblr and forums, &/or write bad fanfics/fanart about how it should have ended?

Amour wasn't confirmed canon
Amour isn't canon
Amour will never be canon

Why shippers continue to spout this nonsense makes no sense to me. It's making it impossible to discuss anything here.

This is a never ending marketing show about a 10 year old boy who never ages, so why does this even matter so much to you fags?

I just want pokeshippers to suffer

>>31197724

>>31197504

>>31197647
I'm not talking about the anime ending, I don't care if it's ever shown on-screen. The point is that the writers said she'll come back to him years later, that it will ever be animated or not, it doesn't matter, as long as they never say that for any other girl, Serena is the only one who wins.

>>31197967
Kanda & Yajima, ignorant-kun

>>31197860
At absolute best it's the director's personal headcanon. As long as the show continues without actually seeing it happen then it isn't canon. I thought you all understand basic anime terminology but you apparently don't

>>31197913
They are already becoming like the Misty-Ash shippers which is really sad. Serena's crush was cute and people should appreciate it for what it was but they are taking this way too far

This endgame discussion is totally pointless too since Ash will stay 10 forever on the show. If he doesn't get married on the show it doesn't affect the show, so why does it even matter?

This is why I hate shipping, it just creates these pointless fights while contributing nothing of value to the story/plot

>you're meant to hope and assume the two of them are going to become a couple later.

This came directly from Yajima and was also approved by an unknown producer who might as well even be Yuyama himself.
