What are your hopes for Ash's Rowlet moveset? Or any Pokemon he eventually catches I hope it gets Foresight just to give people hope that it evolves into Decidueye and hopefully a ghost move

Have those new episode titles and previews confirmed to be real?

>>31229551
Not this shit again
Anon, you're sick, stop that.

Okay, Lillie already has her 2nd ep, and Mallow has 0...
Was "Rowlet capture" her introduction episode? Because she spent time alone with Ash and told him about her Bounsweet...
Or SM 13 is Mallow ep?

>>31229553
What leak?

So baded on the titles, Ash wins the Hala battle? okay

the one with Ash,Mallow,Rowlet,Poplio and Incineroar I suppose

>>31229584
That's kinda what I'm asking in my post.

>>31229579
Maybe not, but rematch happens later.

>>31229588
Wasn't that game concept?

>>31229570
Back when the starters leaks were popping up on /vp/ Incineroar's concept art had it laying on the floor on its back while Ash and Mallow were around it with Rowlet and Popplio nearby

>>31229592

but Popplio is one of Lana's pokemon. The leak might not even be related to future episode of the anime.

>>31229548

It's on Serebii as well so someone must have gotten ahold of a tv magazine and translated it

I call the Adamant.

Do you have any source on those new episodes, mane?

>>31229579
Maybe, it looks like Rowlet is getting rektd next week though.

No? Just the totem?

No Crabrawler for Ash because Hala uses one? What a shit

Rowlet will probably pull something out of his ass the last second and win

>>31229656
>Did Ilima appear?
No. There was also no mention of "Trial Captain" role, so I guess they just not exist.

>>31229666
>So Jessie will catch a Mareanie
Jessie already has 2 pokes, James has 0.
He's one who catches it.

>>31229656
Crabrawler was his main pokemon in the games so I don't know why people thought he would catch one.

>>31229677
Where are the other writers? what the fuck? did everyone got fired?

>>31229656

But Hala had one in game, what's stopping Ash from encountering one and catching it?

>>31229677
>Omode writing 2 Lillie's ep
So, is she gonna write "Lillie's story", just like she did with Serena in XY?

>>31229666
It will be James's pokemon, give something to the poor guy.

I don't think this semen-slurping filler is for me, lads.

>>31229689
Not, I just want to know if they are real and it looks like that's the case.

>>31229717
But it's assured there will be pain and suffering if he catches one. Especially when it eventually evolves.

>>31229650

>>31229565

>>31229551
Can you stop this, it will only hurt serenafags

>>31229677
What happened to the other writers?

>>31229731
The pancake episode sounds like a Alola Raichu episode.

>pancakes
Alola Raichu?

>>31229724
Lillie overcoming her fear.

>>31229749
So, a filler about Alola Raichu?

>>31229761

On a scale of 1-10, how fluffy do you think Lilie's episode will be?

>>31229743
>it will only hurt serenafags
Literally how?

>>31229779
Yeah, it will be a pokemon of the week. Pikachu might be involved in some way.

>>31229791
Not as fluffy as Rowlet.

>>31229791
-3/10

New summary for SM11 too:
>As Satoshi is practicing Z-Moves on his day off from the Pokémon School, he spots his classmate Kaki passing by. After talking to Kaki and hearing that he helps out at his family's farm, Satoshi goes to visit him there.

>>31229821
You severely underestimate how far the anime will go to ensure James receives maximim pain from his Pokemon. Toxapex is a certainty for that to happen. I can already imagine it latching it's spikey tentacle shell around James' head and it tries to hug him.

The fact that she's specifically mentioned in that short and basic summary implies she'll play a major role.

If you had read the thread we have one XYfag saying today's battle was good but not great and comparable with the first gym match in XY while looking forwards to the next episode's battle while the SMfag says all the battles in the beginning of XY was shit and there weren't any good ones until vs Clemont more than a year later. The inferiority complex towards XY is huge among SMfags.

>>31227697
>>31228252

>>31229926
She tells him about the race but I doubt she will go to extremes to catch an Alola Raichu.

>>31229910
I don't speak moon. Has he said anything regarding his absence?

SM does it again

>>31229952
The inside is no filled with spikes, Toxapex will have to Tackle him or something to hurt him.

>>31229828
>Mao episode
Mallowfags, just let it go.
She shared her episode with Rowlet.

>>31229980
>Hating on pancakes
You have gone too far, anon.

>>31229926
The summary implies it's basically your usual "Character of the Day appears and tells Ash of an Activity of the Day" episode, except it's Mallow instead of a CotD.

>>31229995
That wasn't her episode, it was about Rowlet.

SM is a masterpiece, I feel I can safely say, a milestone in the Pokemon Anime history. Much like OS, SM brings new light and brilliance to something we didn't know could exist. It brings pure comfyness and comedy and an excellent array of characters to keep you hooked.

What's so good about it you ask? Why's this anime good enough to be deemed a milestone. It's simple. Ash's personality. His character posses such a strong charisma that you can't help but feel attracted and entertained by him. Lana, Mallow and Lillie along side him complete an incredibly well written group.

Enough rambling, the story is awesome. Don't worry about the ratings though, that makes the anime more interesting.

The Animation is top notch. There's one episode where a particular character is walking and the legs move perfectly. Beautiful fight scenes (though these are short and infrequent) too.

The sound/music is pretty decent, with the opening and ending pretty catchy. Nothing amazing though.

I only gave the characters a 9/10 because there still isn't enough information given about everyone to really get to know the character.

10/10 for enjoyment, without a doubt.

If you haven't picked this series up, do it now. It's one of those "must sees" and you will not regret it

>>31229999
Not even those quads protect you from that shit taste anon. It's worse than a fucking pokepuff episode.

Seriously guys? She was just a support character there. We learned nothing about her and she didn't develop

>>31230070
Victreebell has teeths, so it's funnier that way. Of course, the only thing I"m afraid of is if Mareanie is a tsundere and just slaps his face with its hair tentacles whenever it's jealous.

>>31230064
Nah, they mentioned her in the second episode and he didn't talk about her as a relative.

>>31230096
Rotom is a dick.

Okay, what happened to other writers?
It seems SM is just 3 persons show now.

>>31229964
I was here the entire thread and that's not what they are saying. They say that the battle today was good but not amazing, and on the same level as the ones from early XY, which is mostly true in my opinion ( some early battle were better in XY but the important one is next week so it's fine). Meanwhile there's one guy who says than the one today was bad compared to those battles.
>>31228649

Anyway I wasn't talking about this episode but about the whole series, so whatever.

>>31230261

>>31230261

Besides, that"s just how Toxapex shows its affection and James will love it.

Rowlet will choke against Crabrawler, Pikachu will carry the team because he is the ace of this season.

>>31230298
it already hasn't
episodes like the Lillie one had the potential to be way better, like showing how everyone takes care of the egg their own way but instead the left it in some pillows

I think you might have lost track of the original post. That's kinda what I said should happen. The slapping thing is what I'm afraid is going to happen.

>>31230175
What a fall from grace when you compare it to how good early XY was. Unbelievable how quickly they could ruin the show.

>>31230298
If you are expecting a well-written series then you are watching the wrong show.

>>31230325
he is always the ace in the start of the anime
wait for decidueye, this episode foreshadowed it a lot

>>31230363
Yeah but a hug from Toxapex is not really dangerous, Mareanie is a different story.

>>31230298
Of course not, but really I blame the Alola region.
If you think about it, overall these islands have fewer cities than the other regions, but because of the revamped engine the world doesn't feel small.
Sadly that doesn't work for the anime and that's why they're a using a static location.

What if in the SM Anime Pikachu is Ash's ace for the longest to show off what would happen if Ash constantly brought his previous region team with him instead of leaving them behind.

How would people react to Pikachu demolishing the competition and barely leaving any sense of Ash may have trouble in this battle?

>>31230475
He will win using a Z move, like an older preview showed.

Episode 11 is by movie staff
Episode 12 is by the staff of episode 5 so it probably won't look any special-
Episode 13 is by decent (not the worst, not the best) Naruto animation staff.
Episode 14 is by the animation staff of episode 1.

They all should look pretty good other than Kiawe's episode, which will just look average like Lana's.

>SCREENCAP THIS
The anime is going to do the split timeline thing that the games have been doing. It will be revealed that, anime-wise, there are two timelines (so far) and thus two Ash Ketchums. Timeline A Ash is the Ash we saw from OS to BW. Timeline B Ash is the Ash we've seen starting in XY to the present day. Each timeline has its own OS, AG, DP, BW, XY, and now SM. But the anime showed us the OS - BW of one universe (Universe A), and then switched to show the XY onward of the other universe (Universe B). Universe A's timeline still continued after the shift of focus, and Universe B's had already been going on before the shift, we just didn't see them. The 20th movie is going to be the origin story of Ash B, in that it will show us the OS of Universe B.

>>31230651
SM12, at least by the looks of it.

>>31230625
TR has been rather fun for now so it may be decent. As long as they don't get too much screentime I have no problem with them.

>Lana gets episode about BARUUN
>Mallow gets no episode, no relevance, nothing
>Lillie gets TWO episodes with CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT and Pokemon debut
So, it's pretty much clear who is main girl here?

Do you guys still think Rotom is annoying as fuck?

So huh, at least based on the summaries, if Ash loses to Hala next episode when would they have a rematch? On SM11 or SM15+?

>>31230656
It will be about James and Mareanie, Jessie already stole his pokeball and Mimikyu.

Is Serena dead?

>>31230662
>CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
[citation needed]

>>31230662
Why do Lilliefags act like this?

>>31230651
SM12 is about TR trying to catch new pokemon.

>>31230673
yes

>>31230662
Mallow?

>>31230666
I do. He's good in some situations but I wish he would stop interrupting people whenever he has something to say.

>>31230666
Yes.

>>31230670
I doubt Ash will lose. Rowlet choking is unrelated to what Pikachu is able to do.

>>31230666
I don't know.
SM is pretty much "The Adventures of Ash, Pikachu and Rotomdex":
He's fine.

>>31230662
It's obvious that the Pancake episode is about Mallow.

>>31230666
Not much.

>>31230670
I guess he wins.
Or they go AG-Brawly route and make 10+ ep gap before rematch.

>>31230662
Will Mallow butt into SM14 too?

>>31230676
I don't want to defend this shitposting but her slowly overcoming her trauma is character development.

>>31230678
Please do not associate all of us to this guy. I almost feel ashamed to be a Lilliefag.

>>31230666
Only alola oak annoys me.

>>31230720
If she was in episode 8, she will be in ep 14 too.

>>31230715
From description it's more about Pancake Race than Mallow. I doubt she's gonna enter the competition, since her tiny ass mon can't carry anything.

>>31230672
Yes, but it isn't like they'll have Jessie and Meowth not present if James catches it.

>>31230699
>>31230718
Yeah I guess one of those two will happen, either Ash(somehow) wins or there'll be a HUGE gap. Was it that big with Brawly? I remember there being a few episodes inbetween like the one with the girl and the Meditite.

I don't understand. Iwane did like 99% of the animation in todays episode, yet he wasn't credited as animation director. Wtf?

>>31230715
It sounds more about the race than Mallow, at leat Sophocles episode has Togedemaru's name on it.

>>31229465
>Satoshi Visits Kaki!
Anybody else has problems with that episode title? The description is something else but the episode title, hmm...

>>31230783
Woah, I didn't remember that, my memory of early AG is a little blurry.

Seems like Mallow is the Serena of this region (useless sex object)

Ash losing is the best way to keep him on this island before challenging the other trials, also he needs to catch Litten before leaving.

>>31230666
Not really. After his intro episode, they toned him down a lot, and basically works as your regular Pokedex with some side commentry. He surprisingly fits in rather well.

>>31230811
I agree that it's weird. They didn't even try to make it sounds like a title.

>>31230811
Yeah, it sounds rather simple for a title.

SM9 was good and jenny was cute
I'm glad they estblished the large powergap between Rowlet and Pikachu
>pikachu manages to stand his ground while rowlet got blown away and took more hits than rowlet did

>>31230829
Eh, based on SM11 it seems he'll be going back and forth between islands, he's never going to leave Melemele permanently.

Ash won't get a Crabrawler, right?

>>31230829
With Ride Pokemon, it really doesn't matter. He could go to any island and come back to the school with a scene change. In fact, isn't Kiawe's home on the second island?

>>31230862
In-game, yes.
But in the anime Lana/Mallow live on Melemele with their families, so...

>>31230853
Based on what we know, they all live on the same island and Kiawe has his own pokemon to travel to different island to take trials instead of taking a pokeride.

>>31230862
They all live on the same island though.

>>31230843
Also is it just me or is pikachu a lot more expressive this season
He has tons of different faces and is always doing something in the background when characters are talking

>>31230860
At least not for now, the one from next episode is Hala's.

>>31230876
Also Sophocles.

>>31230876
Do they? Have they shown to be on that island, or did they travel to their houses on a Ride Pokemon and they didn't show it?

>>31230751
Because he wasn't the animation director?

>>31230890
He is copying some of Ash faces and movements.

>>31230893
They showed Lana's home already and she and Ash clearly traveled on foot to her house.

>>31230893
Ash and Lana walked to her house and they were on Melemele, Sophocles and Mallow were implied to be living on Melemele too. So there's that at least.

>>31230893
Mallow's family owns local cafeteria, I doubt they live Akala and go to work on other island every morning.
And Ash has been in Lana's house, with TR spying on him, so it's likely on Melemele, becausr TR don't have Ride Pokemon.

>>31230892
When was the last time Ash got the same pokemon from a gym leader?

>>31230912
Well, we saw them walk to a beach, and then a scene change. We really didn't see the path they took. I could be wrong, but due to the conviences of the Ride Pokemon and a ferry system, I had always assumed they just commuted to school and back to the other island. So far, only Lilie's confirmed to be on the island since they drove there.

Wtf were they saying this episode? Normally I have a general idea and can follow along but for the most part i was in the dark.

>>31230933
They can just rent one like Ash did in the first episode.

>>31230940
No, Lana also lives on the same island. Don't you remember her Lapras was waiting for her at home? Why wouldn't she use a pokemon ride when she has one?

>>31230934
In the anime Clay had both Krokorok and Palpitoad, also Excadrill which Iris had.

>>31230950
and that was just for fun, not for travelling purposes to another island.

So three new titles

One generic Team Rocket catches a Pokemon ep
One ep about pancakes
Another ep with the dull plot of Lillie being scared to touch Pokemon

You will never be pleased about anything related to SM so why bother coming to thia thread?

>>31230950
They literally didn't even know what a Ride Pokemon WAS until they overheard Satoshi and Suiren talk about them outside Suiren's house.

The distance between islands must be too much for a Pokemonride in the anime, otherwise there is no reason to make everyone live on Alola.

>>31230975
Pancake ep is presumably both Alola Raichu and Mao themed.
She might even catch one, since there's one in the OP.

>>31231012
>Alola
I mean Melemele island.

>>31231014
>She might even catch one
eh

>>31231014
Alola Raichu doesn't fit her.

>>31230975
And episode 12, 13 and 14 of XY were all fillers. Was it also so fucking bad in your opinion ?

>>31231014
well that makes it even worse. Mao is the most useless SM cast member, she can fuck right off.

>>31231014
>tfw later anime does "Pikachu is better than Raichu" ep again

>>31231036
Alolan raichu is too cute for that
He'd just eat pancakes with pikachu all day

>>31231036
Pikachu is certainly getting an exclusive crystal later in the series.

>>31230934
>>31230956
Flannery had a Torkoal. Burgh had a Leavanny, Skyla an Unfezant(a male one though), Winona had a shiny Swellow, Gardenia had a Turtwig. Giovanni have TR a Kingler to use during his absence. It was mostly a BW thing I guess.

>>31231031
It's pokemon that eats sweet pancakes and she is cook.
Not like Cilan's pokemon fit him, for example.

>>31231032
XY started off with 9 awesome episodes, so even though it was a stretch of filler after that, it was okay. SM however has started off with nothing but shit, so three new pseudo filler episodes is not as excusable this time.

>>31231036
And we need Mimikyu somewhere in that episode for the perfect clusterfuck.

>>31231061
It's a discussion that's being brought up again, like after SM6 back then compared to XY and that not a lot had happened by comparison, when XY6 in particular pretty much marked the rest of the series.

>>31231061
Episode 12 is probably a capture episode, episode 14 has character development and the egg hatching, so they are not fillers in any way.

>>31231081
oooooh shit

So is Ash going to get all the different types of crystals and never use them or will he only get certain ones like fire, water, grass, electric and normal. Like, which pokemon will actually be able to make use of the fighting crystal he'll prob get next episode.

>>31231081
What if Sophocles catches it? And the Cutiefly?

>>31231061
>Notthisshittoagain.png

>>31231099
He already has one shillmon Pikaclone

>>31231081
But that's missing Mareanie and Tortunator and it doesn't seem anybody will catch a Pikipek nor Cutiefly.

>>31231081
I highly doubt any one is going to catch a Pikipek now that we've gotten it in an episode already. I think this is a showcase of Pokemon shown in screen in SM.

>>31231081
>Pikipek
Ash catches one? Or KABASHI ep 2?
>Cutiefly
No idea.

>>31231096
He probably won't get all of them, as they can leave some of the unused z-moves to the other classmates.

What if Hau debuts and he has the Alola Raichu?

>>31231081
Literally nothing.

>>31231139
Then again, Ash caught a Fletchling even though it had appeared before.

I JUST WANT ASH TO GET A COMPETENT RIVAL THAT HE CAN HAVE AWESOME BATTLES WITH

IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR, MATSUI?

When is Ash going to catch a Pokemon?

He usually has 3 or 4 after the first gym battle.

>>31231160
But he has a bird already. Catching one, especially when Rowlet was raised by a family of one wouldn't really feel 'right'. It just feels awkward. Kinda like having Stoutland on a team with Litten.

>>31231174
>Episodes introducing and developing characters are filler

>>31231186
What kind of dumb logic is that supposed to be?

>>31231181
Eventually

1: Introduction to the setting
2: Hinting at a larger story with Top Kek, Satoshi tries his first Z-Move
3: Rotomdex is introduced
4: Rowlet capture
*7: Depending on if Litten gets captured or not this could be filler or not filler
8: Proper introduction of the main heroine, setting up the stage for the main story later on
9: Satoshi challenges his first Totem Pokemon
10: Satoshi challenges the first Kahuna
*13: If Alola Raichu is Hau's this episode could be the introduction of the first rival
14: Lillie development episode

>>31231181
He doesn't need that many Pokemon. It's not like he ever used his full 4-5 Pokemon in his early gym battles.

>>31231061

Why would Mallow catch a Pokemon when her Bounsweet has barely been relevant?

>>31231166
There's Kiawe. And Gladion will obviously appear later. XY Ash didn't get a true rival until Shota's appearance anyway so we just have to wait.
