>Summary:
>There's no Pokémon School this day, and Satoshi has been training hard at Z-Moves with Professor Kukui since morning. While he's practicing, his classmate Kaki happens to pass by, riding on his Lizardon. Kaki tells him he's helping out at his family's farm by doing a delivery. Satoshi gets interested in the farm and decides to go visit Kaki.

UPCOMING SHIT:

POKÉMON NO UCHI ATSUMARU? EPISODE 66 (Jan 15th)

SM12 - The Extracurricular Lesson is on Hidoide?! (Jan 26th)
>Everyone in the Rocket Gang have had some leisurely and lazy days. But one day, they receive a call from HQ. HQ wants to know if their activities in the Alola region are going well or not. The Rocket Gang somehow manages to give them a report that smooths things over. However, they realize they can't just continue on like this, and decide to aim for getting a new Pokémon.

SM13 - The Great Alola Pancake Race! (Feb 2nd)
>Satoshi's classmate Mao tells him that the Pancake Race will soon take place. This is a race where Trainers and Pokémon work together to carry pancakes stacked up on a plate to the goal as fast as they can without the stack collapsing. Satoshi gets really interested and enters the Pancake Race together with Pikachu.

SM14 - The Fruit of Courage: Lilie and Rokon! (Feb 9th)
>The Pokémon egg Satoshi and his friends have all been taking care of together finally hatches, and they're all really excited about it. Lilie has been in charge of the egg, and her emotions towards it hatching are really strong. But she is still unable to touch Pokémon, so she ends up feeling down about the entire thing. And then, after school that day, an ominous shadow has its eyes set on Lilie while she's on her way home.

I Summon thee, oh translater of Moonish Words, Adamant!


Just want to ask when you´re going to sub the last two episodes of XY&Z
My autism wants them to be complete at last.

>>31348595
First one should be out soonish. Christmas just got in the way a bit.

Since Ash won I guess he is not really travelling and will just fly to other islands

>>31348604
Purrfect, thanks! Love your work, keep it up!

>>31348568
It was a show that was performed around japan don't know the shows name though..
https://youtu.be/sIEEecT_Sak

It was pretty hype when the Sinnoh Gym Battle theme played during Ash and Hala's battle.

>>31348640
It did what? Haven't seen it yet

>>31348550
He can't use the other one. It was a smart bit of writing imo.

>>31348550
Ash doesn't even a Pokemon that can use Fightinium Z

Ash has a Pokemon that can use Electrium Z

Duh

>>31348711
>Duh

>>31348640
That was the Sinnoh league theme? I don't even remember what it sounds like.

>>31348550
No Fighting type pokemon or move.

>>31348787
He can always catch one.

>>31348801
The fact he got the Electric crystal shows he won't catch a fighting type for now.

>>31348627
It must be uncomfortable as fuck to be inside those disguises.

>Rowlet is so lazy he goes to sleep after winning a real battle

>>31348833
He didn't want to be punched by Hariyama.

>>31348527
Fag

>>31348856
>not wanting to be a little girl
I think you're the fag here, fag

>>31348833
He used Rest to heal off damage from the previous battle

>>31348865
Rowlet cannot learn Rest normally.

>>31348864
You are just putting a disguise instead of dressing like a girl.

>>31348847
Smart burd.

Rowlet was actually somewhat fast this episode.

>SM Ash is the first to defeat an Elite Four member

XYFAGS ON SUICIDE WATCH

>>31348878
That punch from Crabrawler actually stimulated his brain enough to be able to learn illegal moves.

>>31348909
Hala didn't have his actual team.

>>31348878
Then it was Roost.

>>31348669
>>31348779
Yep. It played when Ash sent Pikachu out against Hariyama
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtXjsh3qS8I

>>31348920
or maybe Rowlet's brain stopped functioning because of that punch.

>>31348928
Roost doesn't put the pokemon to sleep from what I remember.

>>31348928
Same case as Rest.

>>31348833
>implying first move wasn't Rest

so the Hala battle confirms ash don't need litten?

>>31348938
Oh, you are right it is the same theme.

>>31348942
Clearly, it was a 720 4th Dimensional Dempey Roll from Crabrawler that sent Rowlet's future Decidueye's perfected mind into his past Rowlet-self's mind.

>>31348993
Why?

>>31348993
No, Ash won't win all of his battles with only two pokemon.

>>31349000
>Rowlet's fighting style is the same as Ippo's

>>31348993
I've been kind of out of loop, but has there been any official material that confirms Ash will get Litten?

For that matter, do we have any hints as to what other Pokemon Ash might get in Alola yet?

>>31348993
Not really. Ash will end up catching more pokemon.

>>31349031
>has there been any official material that confirms Ash will get Litten
Only the posters, episode 7 also implies Litten's story with Ash is not over.

>>31349031
Only hint is that leaked image from a while back that had Incineroar. Besides, given that Litten and Ash had bonded and no one had caught it yet, it's inevitable that Ash gets it.

>>31349031
The posters?

>>31348938
You can hear a lot of tracks from XY in SM, so it's not surprising.

>>31349031
Besides that old woman, Ash is the only other human Litten has bonded with.

>>31348909
Those Elite Four members don't have the same standards as in other regions.

>>31349031
They bonded in episode 7, and it's a starter so obviously SOMEONE's getting it.

>>31349049
>Only hint is that leaked image from a while back that had Incineroar.
Stop being retarded.

>>31349043
>>31349049
Plus it doesn't feel like any of the other Fire types in Alola really "fit" Ash. Someone else already has Turtonator and they're making Salandit the generic badguy Pokemon.

>>31349012
or he will get the better fire type Salandit
>>31349031
every starter is in the anime but no one in the main cast caught a litten yet

>>31349090
Probably because Salandit is the only other fire type in Alola.

>>31349107
Turtonator senpai. I honestly think that's a pretty "Ash-y" Pokemon but Kiawe already has it, so...

>>31349096
A male Salandit is a waste of pokemon.

I would love the series if Ash gets my bro Sandshrew.

>>31349074
>kalos having standards

>>31349112
I'm talking about wild pokemon. Turtonator is Kiawe's pokemon but then again Team Skull have a few Salandits.

>>31349079
Kiawe.

>>31349144
He didn't bond with it, and he already has a fire mon.

Please, complete the next statement:

I wanna ____ Kiawe´s sister.

>>31349126
I would hope but I doubt he'll get an alolan form.

>>31348993
Yeah, I'm sure Rowlet will enjoy the battle against Totem Salazzle.

>>31349149
He has two fire pokemon actually and there is nothing stopping him from getting a third one.

>>31349151
Ignore.

Hi Thread
Yesterday I was drugged and lost me SM10, What do you tell me?

>>31349151
>Kiawe's sister will have BW Joy's voice

>>31349222
Rowlet didn't choke.

>>31349151
She looks too much like Kiawe, wouldn't fug.

>>31349149
You don't need bonds to catch a pokemon.

>>31348938

Did I miss it, or was that bubblebeam speedline shot in the preview not in the episode? Were they trying to ruse us?

>>31349270
>there are people who genuinely think it is Serena's song

>>31349279
There were bubbles in yesterday's preview.

>>31349279
Only the last preview had bubbles.

>>31349279
What? It was in the episode.

So what was the rating?

>>31349314
There are not ratings, Scott.

>>31349314
Irrelevant.

>>31349314
4.7

>>31349238
Where are all the idiots who thought Rowlet would lose now?

>>31349349
Here, I feel like a fool.

>>31349314
Try to guess it.

>>31349311
Went back and checked, yeah it's right near the start of the match, my bad. I missed it for some reason, or I remembered the wide shots of it using Bubblebeam a bit more.

Anyway I'm glad there was only like 2 instances of speedlines in the match, and one of them was appropriate (when Rowlet was being swung around).

>>31349349
Can you blame them, the previews focused on Rowlet getting punched.

>>31349365
No rating then? Guess it didn't made the top 10

>>31349349
>flying beats fighting
WOAH

>>31349378
There are not ratings for any series.

>>31349349
Autism.

>>31349387
And water beats fire, amirite?

>>31349387
Tell that to Greninja who lost to a Fire type move.

>>31349388
Why not yet?

>>31349387
Why ash couldn't win the league then?

>>31349408
Still the top 10 of the first week of January

>>31349349
He went to sleep Because he knew Hariyama would rekt him.

Al-Qaeda pls

Pikachu is a fucking beast.

Took a hit from a Belly Drum'ed Z-Fight move and lived.

Also, Ash is with a Mudbray in the episode 11 preview, if Ash gets a Mudbray/Musdale, he might get a great team this time around too.

Do you guys think he'll get a Mudbray?

Was Rowlet redeemed from all that previous choking?

What was written in VS screen for today's ep?

>>31349573
Yes.

>>31349573
He only choked against Oricorio.

>>31349573
Yeah, but he also had advantage in today's battle.

>>31349571
>Do you guys think he'll get a Mudbray?
Probably not, Mudbray is just a pokemon of the week apparently.

>teleports behind you

>>31349571
>Took a hit from a Belly Drum'ed Z-Fight move and lived.
Well I think the episode was showing he dodged most of it and only got hit by like 10% of the full damage, if not less. Arguably that's more impressive since you can't dodge Z-Moves.

>>31349571
No, Hapu's main pokemon is Mudsdale anyway.

>>31349596

Well ofc, that's why I said "a hit" and not a full z-move.

Still good imo.

>>31349582
It was his first ever battle. Cut it some slack.

>>31349596
Aerial Ace is also supposed to be an unvoidable attack but it can be dodged in the anime.

>>31349614
That's what I meant. It was only his first battle, he actually did a decent job in his second battle.

>>31349596
Hariyama didn't even finish the Z move like in the games.

>>31349596
Does it matter? We all know anime handles game moves differently ever since Pikachu was able to successfully damage Onyx with its electric attack.

>>31349595
It did the same with Crawbraler. Why is Rowlet so fast now?

>>31349650

Must be close to evolving.

>>31349646
>Pikachu was able to successfully damage Onyx
That happened like 19 years ago.

Hau when?

>>31349650
Under orders from Mallow, Bounsweet promised to step on him when it evolves into Tsareena if he helped Ash win his battles.

>>31349650
Ash must have exp share turned on.

>>31348497
Are they making Pikachu OP on this?

>>31349650
it did the same with yungoos even Hala notice it hinting it will evolve to Decidueye

>>31349669
And Rhyhorn?

>>31349689
Only in the first few battles, expect him to fall into irrelevance later in the series.

>>31349579
"Grand Trial"

>>31349695
Which one?

>>31349695
If you want sheer bullshit then post thunder armor.

>>31349685
kek

>>31349689
So far he looks in pretty good shape, I doubt it will be the same if Rowlet or Litten fully evolve

>>31349724
I personally feel physically breaking Trick Room is the more bullshit one.

>>31349703
People said the same about XY

>>31349744
At least they tried to apply type advantage to that one.

Serena when?

Has the full ED been released yet or is the one in the op still the short version? [/spoiler]That's been my most anticipated thing in SM since we first heard the ED[/spoiler]

>>31349747
Greninja was far more relevant than Pikachu then roles swapped in the league.

>>31349765
nice spoiler

>>31349596
>implying Matsui played the games

>>31349765
No.

>>31349765
Nice spoiler.

>>31349755
Yes, but I feel it was one of those cases where you didn't need to resort that type of bullshit to win. It was just so utterly random to be able to physically break it, nevermind the sheer implication of any other similiar moves like that.

This must be the most down to earth, realistic Pokemon season so far.

>>31349796
Fuck off with your bait.

>>31349764
just watch the volcanion raw

>>31348640
If nothing else at least that means they know those still exist. They seemed less keen on using music from past gens after BW, whether it be in the score or theme songs.

Gives me a bit of hope maybe we'll hear Type: Wild in the show again someday.

>>31349595
>*unzips leaf*

>>31349796
Just wait until they start using bullshit methods to win battles.

>>31349796
Every season has its share of unrealism and SM is not the exception.

>>31349796
No.

So what are they going to do with Toten Vikavolt? Buginium Z? Molayne gives out Steelium Z instead?

>>31349808
What?

>>31349765
Only the full version of the opening is available.

>>31349832
Maybe PIKACHUNIUM.

so just to be clear, there are no subs for SM10 yet?

>>31349788
Yeah, it didn't make much sense but it certainly wasn't more bullshit than the aspull that was Thunder Armor.

Well, Ash got some recognition after helping with the Ratticate infestation. Nice detail.

>>31349856
It just aired a few hours ago.

>>31349856
Why would there be subs for episode 10?

I really like this Officer Jenny.

>>31350061
He's 10 and a 1/2

>>31350050
So, just like in previous series? Ash's goal is to master Z moves and there are more trials in other islands.

>>31350061
He's like a 10yo refugee.

>>31350048
Lana must be younger than Ash, Kiawe is probably around Brock's age.

>>31350095
She's just a midget.

Brock is ~15 years old, no?
Kiawe must be literally retarded to be in same class with bunch of 10yo.

because they were shit and also contest shilling.
In Sun Moon there are no contests to shill.

Do they still follow the rule of having 10 years to become a trainer?

Is this bait?

>>31350317
Can't procreate otherwise

The Sinnoh theme music that played during the battle is from the Hoopa movie

It's not like they randomly decided to bring back old music

>>31350336
and what does the Hoopa movie have to do with the scene?

>>31350284
It had more than just *teleports behind nothin personnel*, but on average yes, it wasn't that great of a battle.

>>31350336
Well, them putting them in the Hoopa movie is kinda random if you want to put it that way.

>>31350353
I really liked that Ash used Quick Attack to dodge an attack. I've always wondered why he's never tried that before, it seems like a really obvious thing you could do.

Overall the battle was mid-tier though IMO, I hate how stationary Hariyama was.

>>31350360
The Hoopa movie used a lot of remixed classic music. The entire idea was to appeal to the nostalgia of viewers of all ages. Yuyama outright says this in the interview.

No. since SM failed the 3 episode test pretty badly I dropped it. however since it'll probably go on for like the next 3 years I decided I'd pick it back up if

>the battles get DP/XY levels of good (was hoping this would happen with hala since it's a kahuna and all but I guess not)
>a shipping subplot happens
>the plot from the games starts to be adapted
None of these have happened yet but at least the plot from the games was hinted at. so I guess I'll have to pick the show up then because SM has literally nothing else going for it.

I really don't like Z moves.

Why? Because they interrupt the flow/momentum/intensity of the battle. There's so much charge up time with talking and posing it makes the battle feel really fucking slow.

Not that anon, but I'm into Idolshit, and I really can't see the appeal. There's a lot of movement and lots of special effects, but there's no real substance to it.

Kek, this was 1 of 4 major battles in SM and it was this shitty? They didn't even bother getting a good animator for the battle either. Those stiff Arm Thrust attacks animated by using like 2 frames a second were laughably bad looking.

Not to mention the overall awful art in the episode. Ash looked like utter shit, as usual.

Retweeted by based director by the way.

What are the chances of Ash getting the pikachunium or that other special electric crystal?

>Last thread and first half of this thread was perfectly reasonable and filled with legitimate discussion
>The moment someone mentions about Tripokalon or Serena, it turns back into the usual shitposting

>>31350591
XY is trash. SM also being trash doesn't change that.

You need some incredible cognitive dissonance to defend tripokalons.

>>31350493

Then we should be glad Ash isn't the star of the show.

So given that the only major trainer battles in SM are the Kahuna battles, and there are only three remaining, and that every series is roughly three years long, this means we have pretty much a year full of filler before the next Kahuna battle. Nice.

>>31350627
>the only major trainer battles in SM are the Kahuna battles

Nigger what the fuck are you talking about? SM has all sorts of major battle NPCs. Totem battles are also "major," the fuck does it matter if there is another trainer involved?

It really is looking like SM is shaping up to be like BW in the sense that the series is so bad you should pretend it doesn't exist.

It makes more sense when you realize Pokemon anime is the only anime they watch, and have nothing else to compare it to.

see, proved my point. SM apologist trying to increase the value of SM by saying it's the same quality as a superior series. it's actually kind of pathetic that SM is so bad it can't stand on it's own and be matched against series on it's own merits. you have to drag other series through the mud to make SM look appealing. Sad stuff.

Poor man contests.

>>31350764
Contest battles were fucking stupid. Tripokalons were executed way better. you can take up whatever gripes you will with the concept of pokeidolshit but to say the execution was anything but great is just lying to yourself.

>>31350711
The fucking irony of this post

XYfags only praise it by shitting on other seasons, claiming it's good "for Pokemon," and only in its most superficial aspects. How is that "standing on its own?"

>>31350699
>implying as the series continues the totem battles won't be longer to push Ash and his increasing team further

>>31350790
No, XYfags emphasize what's great about pokemon and then they match it to other series. you won't see someone who likes XY just go
>DP is shit, everything about DP is shit....please like XY.
Like SM apologists do because XY is already good. so instead you get conversation like this
>DP was great, arguably the best series however XY does battles far better and the group dynamic is just more likeable. however nothing in XY beats paul's rivalry.
instead

>>31350783
Contest battles added another layer that was way more interesting to watch than anything in tripokalons.

>great execution

>Serena suddenly and out of nowhere obsessed with contests because writers ran out of ideas
>obligatory failure and then suddenly she's amazing at it
>interesting and dynamic performance battles replaced with dull theme performances that Serena mary sues her way through
>mediocre performances with zero substance
>accomplishes nothing but giving her an out at the end of the series

The notion that XY has better battles than DP would only be perpetuated by XYfags. And again you're proving my point because you're only comparing it to other Pokemon series, which by definition means it's not "standing on its own."

>paraphrasing "my season is better" isn't the same as dragging through the mud

You're really not fooling anyone.

>>31349251
What are you gay?

>>31351041
yes anon. saying "my series is better" isn't the same as saying "your series is shit". One stands the series in question up so people can see what's so great about it (hence why it's the subject of the sentence) and the other simply implies that the series is good because it's not the this other series. in a way to attempt diverting the critical gaze away by suggesting there's something worse or just as bad. (hence why it's not the subject of the sentence)

>>31351201
You're doing the exact same thing by diverting to "SM apologist." The fact that you think people can't shit on XY unless they're defending SM invalidates your argument.
