IT TOOK 20 YEARS BUT TEAM ROCKET JUST BEAT ASH FAIR AND SQUARE IN A POKEMON BATTLE. AND JESSIE'S LIKE "D....DID WE SERIOUSLY JUST...?????"
>>31546961
SM ash is truly the worst Ash
OHMYGOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
I can't imagine this is actually the first time
>>31546975
Nah. Ash is pretty competent in battling in SM.
It happens that Team Rocket has better pokemon, their best team yet Tbh.
>>31547011
Yep. Meanwhile Ash is stuck with a (really experienced) shitmon and a newbie shitmon.
>Mimikyu and prevo to Cancerpex
>against pikachu and grass owl
Yeah not too farfetched I guess. Ashnime sucks tho
KILL EM ALL 1989
>>31546988
>>31546978
>>31546961
Mareanie and Bewear are some of the best new Pokémon and them beating Ash is literally making them 1000x better
So did they steal Pikachu or what?
>>31547011
Where have I heard that before.....
>>31547052
*and Mimikyu
>>31547074
Nah, Bewear kidnapped Team Rocket at the last second
THEY ACTUALLY DID IT
>>31547096
FUCKING BEAR KEKING TEAM ROCKET
410,583,684,673 DEAD PIKACHUS
>>31546961
Didn't they beat him when she first learned the Wobbafet gimmick?
They almost won TOO well, Pikachu would be fucking dead if not for KIIIIII.
>>31547122
>>31546961
>>31546965
>>31546978
>>31546988
This is truly a great day for every poke-fan
>>31547127
No, it only bullied him for a bit then it just stopped working as soon as he swapped pokemon for plot reasons
>>31546961
>literally copypasting a tweet and making a thread about it
>TR best Ash before he has ever won a league
>>31547122
>>31546965

>>31546988
Kudos to you dear Rocketo Dan!
>>31546961
"So uhh...what do we do now?"
Reminder that the pikachu two of Alain's psuedos couldn't save their anuses from was taken care of by Team Rocket
>>31547242
Team Rocket becoming new league champions when?
>>31547242
Man, Tyranitar jobbing still bothers me more than anything else from that fight. Fucker's supposed to bring down mountains one-handed as part of its natural life cycle, how does it lose to the rat?
At least it was cool in the Celebi movie.
>>31547242
>>31547279
The thing resets every region
But I do with T Tar did take out one of Ash's mon's
>Ash has fallen this far since losing to Alain
>>31547242
Just cancel this shit already. We've seen all we wanted with Team Rocket winning. Just give him a trophy and send him home.
>the formula has been destroyed
THE TABLES HAVE TURNED
THE ASHNIME ENDING SOON BOYS
WE CAN BE FREE
>>31547518
>THE ASHNIME
>ENDING
>>31546961
>>31546965
>>31546978
>>31546988
Holy shit
Theyve beaten him in duels before
In that ep where pidgeotto gets evolved it gets beaten by arbok and the fight ends
So?
What the fuck do you think this will accomplish? Ash is still going to blow their asses off every other episode, he's still going to lose the league, ditch his Pokemon and friends, start clean in the next new region, and you are retarded If you think this will change shit.
>>31546961
How often does Ash get shirtless in this series?
That alone makes me willing to watch
>>31547622
but this is the first time his whole team got wiped
>>31547186
yknow it
>>31546988
Meowth has the EU in his eyes.
>>31547649
F-fuck
>>31547649
lol?
>>31547655
Same
Team rocket is the best thing
>>31547141
>>31546961
OK, what episode was this? I really have to see it
>>31546961
T-THIS ISN'T EVEN CANON OP
F-FUCK IS EVERYONE BEATING ASH NOW????
>>31547880
EVERYTHING AFTER KANTO IS POST GAME AND NON-CANON. ASH NEVER LOST TO ROCKET OR ALAIN
>>31547628
>>31547518
Nah, JJ&M will just win the league this gen
>>31547880
To be fair, we can actually assume that they're fairly elite agents. Faceless Rocket grunts are even less effective against Ash and, for all that the trio keeps losing to him, so does pretty much everyone else in the series apart from the league matches.
>>31547966
Yes please.
They were just lucky to have two Pokemon already powerful and motivated on their own though
>YET ASH IS NOT ALLOWED TO BE BEAT THE LEAGUE
>>31548250
Because that would end the show
>>31548071
They're also apparently amazing masters of disguise, and qualified for literally any job
what happened then?
You know, they should of ran with it, had them stal both pokemon, present them Giovonnie and have him say he didn't want them and to quit goofing off and bring him something like a Tapu. I'm curious what their reaction would be that after 20 years they finally accomplished their self proclaimed mission only for reality to smack them in the face. What would they do? give Pikachu and Rowlett back to Ash and just focus their efforts on Tapu Koko?
I'm legit curious since Teams Magma/Aqua/Plasma/Galactic/Flare all disbanded but Team Rocket continues to exist and apparently flourish
>>31547917
Nah, mate. Everything after beating the league is non-canon and Ash has yet to win a league...
Post the link to the battle.
>>31548812
Rowlett lost to Poison Sting from Toxicthing
Pikachu lost to a Shadow Claw an Confuse Ray attack
I was expecting Play Rough again, since it's kinda Mimikyu's signature but I guess they didn't wanna animate the cartoon ball of violence again. Either way, it's really embrassing because Ash didn't so much as lose to team rocket, he lost to two powerful pokemon with motivations.
Wish he was playing Nuzlocke and his run would have ended now
team rocket are total geniuses
>can drive every vehicle imaginable
>somehow get any job
>best disguises that fool ash and the team for decades
>Elite team rocket agents, the boss keeps them despite years of failure
>build battleships every episode
They should be mopping the floor. these people are smart as fuck, they need more respect than what they're getting.
>>31547655
It's happened twice but you get to see a bit of his belly ever other episode. The animation this season makes things quite bouncy so his shirt will flip up quite often
>>31548895
>Toxicthing
nigga do you even Pokemon
It was a shame... they've destroyed the anime
Video?
So, guess Sun and Moon really will be terrible
Best Wishes had the trio look good early on too and we all know how that series turned out.
I GOT TO SEE THIS!!!! FUCKING FINALLY!!!
>>31549105
At least BW didn't have shitty yokai watch looking animation

>>31548967
To be honest, not really, I can only remember so few pokemon
>>31549166
Yeah, I still hate the new art style. The Hala battle was a huge disappointment
>>31547052
>>31547086
They've got a mareanie, bewear and a mimikyu?
Goddamn, it's no wonder they finally beat him.
I wouldn't have believed it otherwise.
How the hell did they get boss pokemon like that?
>>31549182
>"It says you're really hot"
>>31549377
technically the Bewear is still wild and it sort of just acts to cockblock any blasting off
>>31547876
ep 12
>>31549182
>Bewear literally just calm picks them up and walks away
>they out number it 4 to 1 and still don't order any of their pokemon to attack it so they can get back to business
Fucking really? They couldn't write a way to save Ash besides that?
>>31548690
But then he has to beat the elite 4 and champion.
>>31549474
nigga have you seen that Bewear? that Nigga literally runs on water and jumps higher than buildings.
This is truly a beautiful day.
Seeing Team Rocket win for a change is refreshing.Fking Bewear meming us all
>>31549182
>Two pokemon
Wow so impressive
>>31549549
>>31546988
T-they actually did it...
>>31546961
Now i want them to beat Ash for other 20 years for them to be even :^)
>>31547122
There reaction looked like they finally broke the cursed spell.
>>31547628
Are you retarded?
Team Rocket has been fucking up Ash and his team since they came to the region and every time they would finish him for good and when the battle they were in, Beware would come and take them away because the writers finally realize that they actually need strong Pokemon. I wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't the last time they completely annihilate Ash's team
>That Mimikyu
Legit terrifying.
Mareanie is fucking adorable though.
Why does this matter, literally anybody can beat Ash.
>>31547628
t. xyfag
>>31549690
until me can beat asho
Think they'll let Ash have an ultra beast? Obviously he can't have something terrifying like Guzzlord or ridiculously big like Celesteela but Buzzswole can at least be silly looking, Katrana is sorta cute and Nihilego I don't know about Nihilego, even Pokemon special might ignore it
When TR just whooped your ass and they're about to take your OP Pikachu from you
>>31549182
Mareanie's perfect vision of James was really cute, and the seiyuu they got is perfect for the role. That grating sound they do for Mimikyu is also 10/10. Team Rocket have been my favorite characters since I was a kid, so seeing them beat Ash is fucking great.
>>31549512
Oh shit, maybe I should start watching the SM anime.
>>31549549
Looks like the Binding of Isaac guy
webm
>>>/wsg/1514291
>>31546961
SM Ash is complete garbage to the point there even TR with their newly caughy shitmons can defeat him. Pathetic. And SM fags will try to excuse it as "H-he's still competent, TR just won once" which is even more pathetic.
>>31549536
> he doesn't know how OP Pikachu is
Pikachu it's basically 20 Pokemon combined into one with how it's been battling. Every time the Rockets battle Pikachu in the past it rapes them with Thunderbolt Iron Tail Electric Ball and quick attack. Having a Pokemon you just caught almost single-handedly beat it is saying something
>>31547693
>>31549930
I don't care about Ash being bad at battle TEAM TOCKET JUST WON!!!
>>31549955
Which proves how fucking garbage SM Ash is.
Stop making anime threads outside of padt you desperate fag.
>>31549182
"I'll try catching a Sunnygo! Just like Misty!"
He could have said this. But nope.
>>31549763
Nope, not happening. They wouldn't even let Ash have a damn Latias, and yet they made him fight a Latios a generation later.
>>31549991
K
>>31548831
>I'm legit curious since Teams Magma/Aqua/Plasma/Galactic/Flare all disbanded but Team Rocket continues to exist and apparently flourish
One of my biggest hopes for the anime is to someday see the Team Rocket organization in the field again. Yes they're still operating and flourishing but that's only to continue the TRio's existence. If there's one thing Best Wishes did right, it was making the entire organization relevant again, if only for a slight drop-off thanks to the cancellation of Rocket vs Plasma.
I wanna see something like that but more fullfiled, like Giovanni getting off his ass and traveling to the new region WITH the TRio, establishing a new base, a few episodes where Ash and Co. have to thwart the plans of TR members other than the TRio.
And to top it all off, Team Rocket getting into an underground turf war with the resident evil team. Team Skull might be seen as more of an annoyance, but imagine Rocket trying to terrorize the Aether Foundation's conservation efforts, and eventually finding out about the UBs. Imagine seeing an episode where Rocket invades Aether Paradise. IMAGINE Giovanni having a standoff with Lusamine.
>>31550002
They were ment to be together.
>>31549991
Fuck off if it bothers you that much.
>>31550128
Why are so desperate to make anime threads outside of padt?
>>31550162
Because you can't discuss the anime in those threads at all.
Seriously pop in there for a second, do you see any actual anime discussion. No you don't just Dawn vs. Serena. And that's all that's in there.
>>31548071
>>31548773
There's a reason the rest of Team Rocket keeps them around instead of cutting their funding and/or firing them. Even if the Rockets don't want Jesse and James physically around, since they're so accident-prone, they still value the two enough to keep them with the team. Their plots are usually pretty successful, except when Ash shows up to bully them.
>>31549182
Anyone else think Mimikyu sounds kind of like Totodile?
>>31550183
Literally the ONLY reason I liked the BW anime was because they managed to make the TRio look threatening, and Ash finally got to meet Giovanni and nearly died.
>>31549182
>switch to better quality video without the watermark
>no subs
>use translated closed captions
this is lulzy as fuck
>>31549182
I haven't watched pokemon in forever, but I remember always looking for the pokemon that the episode revolved around once the episode was over. Maybe I'll go catch a mareanie now.
>>31549930
Team Rocket has some pretty good mons this time around. I really hope this starts trending them mopping the floor with Ash for the next couple decades.
James is better than ash

here's a better screenshot for you
It's a fucking anime for 6 year olds calm down
Secret Bases confirmed for Pokemon Stars!
>>31546991
This is the first one that involved a fair and square battle and wasn't a side competition.
This is a good day for TR.
Even though they used the best non UB pokemon in gen 7 it's still impressive the writers allowed them to win
They probably prepping up team rocket to fight team skull senior grunts later on. Good that they already got a strong mimikyu.
>>31551688
Team Rocket vs Big Bad Guzma
I kinda wanna see if he's actually a threat or as strong as the game says he is or if he actually does beat you down and beat you down and never let up.
>>31551741
>no team up vs Lusamine
>>31547104
>.. .... . .... .........?
so why does that Mimikyu want to kill Pikachu? isn't it supposed to be his idol?
>>31549182
>when Mimikkyu was about to murder Pikachu
Pure ecstasy
>>31552212
There's many instances of stalkers displaying obsessive behavior reflecting both idolization and hatred towards their target. Mimikyu's fixation on Pikachu is obviously something too intense for a sane person to understand.
>>31552371
that was the best, I only wonder about it's true form because they clearly hinted they are going to do something with it...
>>31546961
does ash use litten ever
>>31552492
he didnt capture it
>>31552492
>Litten
Anon.... He hasn't captured Litten yet
>>31552501
>>31552508
oh i dont watch, do you think he will
>>31552501
13 episodes and he's still only with 2 pokemon, also opening hinted worm hunt... it's too good to be true, hope they will keep this tempo...
>>31552212
Different Mimikyu, different personality. This one displays a good deal of envy.
>>31552530
Probably.
At least the narrator heavily implied they will meet again.
>>31549182
Team Rocket looked really sexy lying on that fruit at the beginning, also >>31549382
>>31552492
My only gripe witg the anime is how litfle ash trains/catches pokemon
Mareanie is a cute.
>>31554400
Quality over quantity I guess. I rather have him with 2 Pokemon with established quirks and personalities than 3 and all of them be the samecough, cough Talonflame, Noivern, Jobberfrog
TEAM ROCKET MONS:
>Mimikyu
One of the best mon of the gen with the best ability to boot
>Mareanie
Turns into a smogonmon
>Bewear (Unofficial)
Best bear mon
WHERE WHERE YOU WHEN TEAM ROCKET BECAME TOP TIER TRAINERS
>>31554664
>smogon
>mattering in Animeland
>>31549182
The Bewear coming out fucking ruined it. They should have just let Ash fail and team rocket just not care about Pikachu anymore since Jessie's Mimikyu is clearly rarer and more powerful.
They let Ash lose to the most pathetic of trainers, yet team rocket is screwed over again.
>>31546961
Ash took vacation too easy. Training Arc when?
I hope team rocket gets an incineroar
>>31554400
it's funny cause Rotom also thinks that's bullshit
is there ANY chance another pokemon can become a staple Rocket member like Wobbuffet?
Why the fuck you animeshills keep bumping this shit?
>>31556459
it's a thread, anon. Threads get bumped
>>31547022
And a Pokedex that could battle if it wanted to, but doesn't.
>>31552515
>>31548690
Beating the league leading to him going to school in SM would have been perfect.
>>31556410
No.
Unless Bewear Jesus comes to the next region since they haven't actually caught it.
>>31550268
>Literally the ONLY reason I liked the BW anime was because they managed to make the TRio look threatening, and Ash finally got to meet Giovanni
what
ash met giovanni like countless times before
giovanni's persian also beaten pikachu btw
>>31559648
>countless times
Like?
>>31559648
Ash only saw Giovanni once in the Mewtwo Returns special, and it was only for like 5 seconds.
>>31546961
>quoting a twitter post
fuck you OP
>>31561036
He didn't see him there, it was during the genie arc in BW.

>>31561091 (You)
>>31561182
ebin you maymay my friend
>>31549182
Their Boss seemed pleased with their results so far. He knows of their competence just like Zenigata is the absoloute badass of Interpol when he is not closely loosing to Lupin
>>31550176
Because the SM anime is shit and there's barely anything to discuss about it.
>>31546961
>follows Ash across five continents
>other girls come and go
>she sticks with it
>even her token gay best friend wants to see her finally land that fish
>now she's won a battle against him
And we're supposed to believe it's just because of some yellow rat? If Ash doesn't reward that with at least a date he's one mean motherfucker.
>>31561278

Giovanni actually wants Pikachu now. During the Meloetta arc in the BW anime, he saw Pikachu beat the kamis and decided he does.
>>31561468
So? That doesn't change there's little hype to discuss SM because it's shit.
>>31549182
What's the rationale for Bewear kidnapping them all the time?

I doubt it but I've been thinking mimikyu just maybe. It seems super popular but probably just her regional pokemon. James deserves one since jessie has wobbefett.
>>31561663
>thinks it's a meme
lel
>Casual Team Rocket episode
>Ash and co enjoying the beach
>Ash happens upon Team Rocket, immediately thinks they're up to no good
>Gets all hostile with them, and gets his shit kicked in as a result
It's not that Ash wins because he's the protagonist; it's that he is the victim, and victims always win in the end. Because he was the antagonist this time due to his verbal harassment of Team Rocket on their fun fishing adventure, Team Rocket won the fight by a landslide.
Ash was the bad guy.
>>31561866
wtf I hate Ashmore than I already donow
>>31561866
>Gets all hostile with them
>Not Mimikyu goes bloodthirst mode and Ash has to tell Pikachu to fight back
>>31547115
it was a pretty contrived way to resolve things but I don't even care. It let them be competent for once, and listening to them complain while being carried off was hiarious
>>31549182
>Bewear ruined it
Lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooo they didn't win shit
>Team Rocket already has 3 of the best new lines in Sun/Moon for their group
>Meanwhile Ash has Disappointment Owl, Disappointment Vic Viper and Disappointment Tiger
What Pokemon can Ash add to his team to save it from being the literal WORST Pokemon team he has ever had
>team rocket is going to become champion of a pokemon league before ash does
really makes you think
>>31562550
Topu keko
>>31562550

>>31548690
Team Rocket beating Ash is more than enough reason for the anime to finally end, in all honestly.
>>31552212
Even without talking about this Mimikyu being particularly murderous, the species dresses as Pikachu because it wants to be liked as much as that overrated rodent.
>>31549182
Wow, it's fucking nothing
>>31561349
>20-something
Actually she's 17 according to the OS.
Source: Episode 56: The Ultimate Test
>>31546961
You guys seriously care about this? None of you are gonna watch anyway.
>>31549377
Mimikyu fucking hates Pikachu's guts so it was naturally drawn to TR, Bewear protects TR like a mama bear and Mareanie is literally in love with James.
Is there anyone that ash CAN beat
Why do they still care about Pikachu if they have a Mimikyu
>>31562708
None of those are cool,popular or cute enough to be on his team. Remember, Ash's team is bassed of market rather than actual balance. Pikachu,Rowlett and Litten are the first three, he'll probably pick up a Pikike because he always gets that gen's regional bird,right?
I'm so proud of them, they've grown up so much
>>31565538
You implying Boldore, Torkoal and Glalie are/were popular?
I legit dont know if they are but they dont seem like mons the japs would go for. Torkoal maybe but not the other 2.
>>31547045
ALOLA IS A FUCK
I don't get the whole Bewear thing
Is Team Rocket gonna catch it eventually or is this just some weird random shit
>>31565475
Gym leaders, the Kahuna's, etc
>>31566523
I read a theory that it's keeping them so he can feeding them to eat them.

It'll probably get a sad backstory episode where it turns out that it either lost its children or always wanted some but never could and wants TR to look for them/act as surrogate children

WOah, really fumes the old noggin'...
>>31566666
>>31549930
>Mimikyu
>shitmon
Even before Jessie caught it, and it was just a wild mon, it already kicked Pikachu's shit in. They lucked out on capturing something so strong.
>>31552212
That Mimikyu in particular is basically /r9k/
It wants to be a normalfag, but also has a deep hatred for them. Then it causes a school shooting.

The best thing about it how mad Ashfags/ XYZfags are about it.
>M-mum repetitive formula!!!
>Muh badass Ash!!!
even though we know If Ash had his strongest mons vs the Trio and Beware, Mareine and Mimikyu he'd still get his ass raped. Unfortunately they're not smart enough to know how to use strong Pokemon which is why they always end up defeated
>>31549992
All of Ash's friends from the past have been removed from his memory.
It will happen to everyone from XY eventually. Though from what I've seen so far, it already has.
Post yfw James inevitably has to release Mareanie
>tfw it will happen on the ep it evolves
>>31571637
he might not.
maybe it could be like wobbuffet and stick with him.
Congrats!! Woohoo, you rock TR!
I still don't get why they made Mimkyu thirsty for blood.
It's supposed to be thirsty for friendship.
>>31571835
It only wants to kill Pikachu, other than that it's a regular Mimikyu.
>>31571835
Because characters that don't act like they usually would is SO WACKY!
In all seriousness it was actually a really entertaining take on the character. Unfortunately it's very likely it'll either take a backseat to TR's General shenanigans and Bewear nonsense, or become a bad running gag where TR captures Pikachu but Mimikyu's raging bloodlust fucks up the plan and allows Pikachu to get away.
>>31571869
That "general" wasn't meant to be capitalized.
I'm not a generalfag I swear
>>31548939
TR really is underappreciated.
They deserve more than what they're getting.
>>31547628
stay mad xyz cuck

I loved those dang it

Any pleb could wreck Ash.

Is Alain the JOHN FUCKING NUMBERS of Pokémon?
DELET THIS
>>31546961
>IT TOOK 20 YEARS BUT TEAM ROCKET JUST BEAT ASH FAIR AND SQUARE IN A POKEMON BATTLE
This isn't true.
>>31572567
The writers seem to believe so, given how they react to winning.
>>31572567
it actually is, given that the only way TR "beat" Ash was with their stupid robo mechs that tire out their Pokemon. But here TR actually had a full battle and won fair and square
>>31572626
TR has won before, they just get defeated by the end of the episode. This is just the first time Ash never came back and sent them blasting off by the afterwards.
I stopped watching the anime years ago but you fucking casuals are setting off my autism.
>>31549182
>Pokémon use untranslated Japanese names
Why do subs do this? This shit is the only reason I didn't jump on the XY bandwagon, I hate it. Having the humans keep their Jap names makes sense since there are going to be anime-only characters that don't have official English names since they don't appear in the games, but the only reason to use the Japanese Pokémon names is to be a weeb.
>>31571637
>tfw James will Box it at Headquarters like Yamask and Mime Jr
>>31549182
That anemone is cute as fuck
>>31572700
If your autism is at work mind telling us which episode Ash got his entire party wiped out by Team Rocket?
>>31549930
>Mimikyu and Mareanie are shitmons.
Holy fuck are you retarded.
>>31561838
Well technically meowth is james' Pokemon isn't he?
>>31562241
If Mimikyu didn't step in, Ash would have told Pikachu to ThunderBolt them without giving them a chance to say anything.
Somehow this episode made me develop a crush on James.
Purple is a good color for him.
>>31547678
His whole team is just a rat that resets it's training whenever he goes somewhere new and a shitty owl that only has done 2 battles since it was caught, what do you expect?
>>31562480
>leaving the area after winning a trainer battle is losing
>>31546961
So what happened? Did he give them money and then run away to the pokemon center?
>>31549474
That Bewear is invincible for all purposes.
>>31572500
>cosmo
>now wanda
never 4get
>>31574798
Hands up, don't shoot!
>>31549474
It is literally a running gag. Pretty clever.
>>31572469
this, unless the writers go full "muh protagonist main character!"
>>31572500
If he was a opponent, would that title still hold up?
>>31572500
If he was opponent in the game would he even kept that title?
>>31546988
I'm just here to say that Mareanie's jp voice is kinda lewd
>>31549930
SM Ash is far from garbage considering he beat Hala on his first try.
>>31561279
Jessie x Ash fags are the worst.
t. Authentic and Based Rocketshipper
>>31574725
nigga no. Meowth is an independent pokemon that just travels with them. Meowth is basically a human at this point.
>>31561866
In my book, that autist trAsh is always the bad guy.
>>31565009
In a movie it was stated they are both 23-25. makes much more sense too. I'd even say they are realistically in their late 20s. no way you're gonna come up with all these elaborate schemes, be top tier performers with a shitload of creativity and wit, know much about the fashion industry for shits and giggles, worked a lot of jobs just to get by etc., if you're just fucking 17.
>>31581419
Already? I expected him to challenge a bit longer
>>31572500
>cosmo got beat so bad in front of thousands of people it changed his chromosomes from XY to XX
I still remember the slow but steady transformation after he lost, how does a man fall so far into depravity like that?
>>31566466

>>31547276
Ash already lost a league to a Meowth once...
>>31574798
Given the way the SM anime is I wouldn't be surprised if Ash just let them do as they please because there was nothing going on in the area.
>>31565151
James is such a good trainer, every pokemon he has loves his guts.
>>31566551
You knew that it is canon that gymleaders and Kahuna nerf themselves (Cheren BW2 dialogue etc.) so noob challengers would have chance right?
>>31583921
It seems to apply to Gym Leaders or else Hala would have had Makuhita instead of Hariyama
>>31572758
>the only reason to use the Japanese Pokémon names is to be a weeb.
When you watch Yu-Gi-Oh! subs, they use Japanese names.
Japanese Digimon subs tend to use Omegamon instead of Omnimon.
As much as I do get it, it's still a little weird seeing 'Charizard' in the subs while the audio says 'Lizardon'. Funimation does awkward shit like this, for the lack of a good example.
>>31548831
That is different. Rocket is a organized crime syndicate who mission is to make money, the rest where all evil geniuses trying to destroy the world.
the Bewear gag has run its course
I want it to fuck off now
Great moment that was ruined by a spam of meme faces and the Bewear gag. I want Mimikyu to murder Bewear.
>>31584791
No.
>>31584132
>As much as I do get it, it's still a little weird seeing 'Charizard' in the subs while the audio says 'Lizardon'.
This. Watching the original subs of Thunderbolt Fantasy was an exercise in frustration because the Japanese dialog uses the Japanese reading of the characters' names, but the subs, for whatever ungodly reason, used the Chinese reading. Made it annoying as fuck to keep track of who was who for a bit, especially given a week between episodes.
With Pokemon, most people watching subs are going to know the Pokemon by sight anyway, so it's less of a problem, I suppose. Still, it's not that big of a problem using the Japanese names. The only use the translated versions of attacks anyway because that one approaches the problem from the other end and those are actual translations of meaning, not just region appropriate puns.
>>31570078
I really want a spinoff with James and co being the protags :/
The only shit I hate about Team Rocket is THE SAME JOKE OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
By now I'm already tired of the Bewear joke and the worst thing is I know is going to happen in every fucking episode.
>>31585273
The Japanese names is also something you get used to really fast, which is why you only really see these kinds of complaints when a new gen starts in the anime and a bunch of people that have never watched it subbed before suddenly start bitching about things that have been the standard for ages.
