>>31674119
His character exists solely as an elaborate troll by the Japanese anime writers, directed at the international localization staff, who have to twist his constant Japanese-language puns into something that resembles making sense in English.
He's part ditto
>>31674119
He absorbed a mew.
thought that was obvious.
>>31674119
It'd be perfect if he yelled BURASUTO BAAN at Ash.
memes are real
>>31674216
A wake up call to their horrible dubbing. A push in the right direction.
Also, some thing states that the Alolan Sun makes his skin mallaeble so he can morph it with ease.

Except this if anything will force them to think of more stupid dub jokes
>>31674119
He is the result of the experimentation on Cinnibar Island. Prof Oak was leading the operation and accidentally got his DNA in the mix. He banished the abomination to Alola.
>>31674251
Dunkey is black, dumbass
>>31674338
No, he's not.
the joke is that he's basically an alolan oak
samson is a joke
I dunno how he became principal tho
>>31674338
He's orange now
>>31674169
He makes puns out of a bunch of Pokemons names and usually changes to look like them, it isn't just Charizard.
>>31674249
>a wake up call to their horrible dubbing

how delusional can you get
>>31674119
Is this aBURASTOreference?
>>31674364
I see zard right there. Just because he impersonates other Pokemon doesn't make it any less shilling. That's like saying zard being a ridemon isn't shilling, because it isn't just zard.
>>31674432
Nothing you are saying makes any sense.
>>31674432
>you can pick a fire starter in sun and moon

>>31674432
what
he makes puns for all kinds of Pokemon
>>31674244
D o n ' t
>>31674432
nonono.
if it was zard shilling then we'd be given a charizard. to use in battle.
why didn't they do that? because they'd have to make venasaur and blastoise available too, and they already did that in xy.
>>31674432
That's enough internet for you today, don't you think?
>>31674461
And he's making zard puns. That's zard shilling. It could've been ANY Pokemon, yet they picked zard. Again.
All kinds of Pokemon get Megas. Doesn't mean zard getting strong mega wasn't zard shilling.
>>31674457
You know that's not the same thing, retard. It doesn't matter as long as zard isn't shown or mentioned.
>>31674479
Again, it could've been any Pokemon. They picked zard. I'm fucking sick of zard and they're still shilling it.
>>31674452
It will when you learn to read, zardfag. Might take some time though, zardfags aren't known for their brains.
>>31674507
Aww, someone's cranky! Did you forget to take your nap today?

I don't care about Charzard one way or the other. I just find it amusing how much it seems to bother you.
>>31674507
>It could've been ANY Pokemon, yet they picked zard
Context is important here, anon. If the pun works with Charizard (or Lizardon in this case), then it CANNOT be ANY Pokemon.
>>31674535
>Reddit is leaking again
You're right that it is. Otherwise this stupidity might be less obvious.
Also, I'm more into Blastoise.
>>31674507
Oh, I see the problem.
Look, they picked it for the pun, and that's all there is. Charizard's still gonna remain popular, and there's really nothing we can do about that. But calling something shilling when it's really nothing important at all is not cool.
>>31674539
This.
Even the fucking anime is just Kanto pandering now.
>this thread
>>31674535
You seem cranky. Maybe babby needs a nap
>>31674119
Why is everything I see from this anime involve pancakes?
>>31674586
Because this week's episode was all about pancakes, so every image you've seen from the last few days would include them.
>>31674547
And it didn't have to be zard pun. They're the ones writing these. They could've picked ANY Pokemon to make a pun on.
But no, let's keeping sucking zard's dick. And you faggots will defend it.
>Also, I'm more into Blastoise.
Sure you fucking are.
>>31674550
Read above.
>>31674550
It still could've been some lesser known Pokemon. They deserve the spotlight too. The kids that liked zard no longer watch the anime, and the new kids won't give two shits about something as shittily designed as zard. But no, instead of using some cool Pokemon, they pick fucking zard, because they can't get enough of its dick.
>>31674582
Oh, sorry, did I offend you, zardfag? Didn't think it was possible to offend someone lacking a fucking brain.
>>31674586
Pancake is the staple food of Alola.

Aw did babby make a poopie? Is that why babby is so cranky?
>>31674507
Chill out dude, don't get all work'd up for a children's cartoon
>>31674590
It feels like I've been seeing them for longer than a week.
>>31674613
Just because it's a children's show doesn't mean it gets a free pass from everything.
>>31674595
>They could've picked ANY Pokemon to make a pun on
Again, context. Any other Pokemon will result in a different pun that might not work in the script.
Take Bewear for example. If the script calls for "Bewear of the bear Pokemon", would replacing its name with Stufful makes sense?
>Sure you fucking are
Of course I am. Water starters are more my thing.
>>31674636
I'm just saying that you need to chill out dude.
>>31674652
>"Bewear the bear Pokemon"
I just realized this works better as a pun seconds after posting.
>this thread
>>31674674
Yes, this amount of zardfags on /vp/ isn't natural. This is probably some sort of reddit event.
>>31674119
He's transforming into Charizard. A common theme with the Pokemon fanbase.
>>31674595
>And it didn't have to be zard pun
no. it did have to be zard pun because LOL GENWUN and REMEMBER KANTO LMAO!
>>31674680
The hell is wrong with you?
Did you forget to take your meds or something?
>>31674119
Why does this anime look like the biggest pile of shit I've ever seen.
>>31674680
Either this is some really dedicated trolling or you have a mental issue. And I am starting to seriously believe the latter. If I am correct please invest in some meds.
>>31674798
Because it is. They abandoned all pretense of things like "plot" and "character" in favor of shitty puns and funny faces. At least BW put in some fucking effort, even if the end result sucked. SM just isn't even trying.
>>31674798
It is and will continue to be as long as the nips keep slurping it up.
Japan has the worst taste and it's starting to affect some of my favorite franchises
>>31674338
Actually he's of Puerto Rican descent.
>>31674806
Yeah seriously. Delusions and probably some psychosis. With the whole 'everyone is the enemy!!' thing.
>>31674820
>>31674821
Oh god no. I was looking forward to Guzma finally showing up. Now I'm hoping that never happens.
Fucking christ.
>>31674820
Yep and weebs and nips will gobble it up like no tomorrow and they will continue not to give a shit because they know they don't have to.
So how far do his transformation powers go? Like can he fully turn into some freakish abomination of human/charizard if he wanted to? Is this going to be a plot point?
Can he breathe fire
>>31674821
Nips aren't that different from rest of the world in this case. Normies love it, fans hate it. This is the same inside and outside of Japan.
>>31674898
>normies love it
I seriously doubt that
You know, this thread reminds of the one with Garchomp. You know, that one that started falseflagging about Chompfags wanting a buff
I hate all of you
>>31675283
why?
(was it the schizophrenic dude yelling about 'zardfags'?)
>>31675283
>f-falseflagging
Still can't comprehend that there are people who hate your shit favorite, zardfag?
>>31674119
I don't fucking know, but they shouldn't allow scary shit like that in the Pokemon anime. Samson Oak is fucking nightmare fuel.
>>31674119
He was dormmates with Blaine.
Blaine was the straight man.
>>31675526
Oh holy shit the schizo is back. Hi!
>>31675581
Agreed. What the fuck even. How do they consider this 'comedic' in any way?
>>31674216
Maybe it's cow-terpie
>>31675401
Yes, it was the same but with garchompfags instead of zardfags
>>31676327
Huh. Maybe it really is just a stupid troll who, instead of making people angry, is just making himself look psychotic/horribly retarded.
>>31674244
Fucking spics need to be deported
>>31676371
I am 100% sure it is someone baiting.
>>31674342
Fuck off newfag

>>31674820
>They abandoned all pretense of things like "plot" and "character" in favor of shitty puns and funny faces.
Ash has been boring as fuck once he stopped being a hothead. But that to be expected since times change. And is more of a reason the anime should have changed up the male lead.
Japan has always loved stupid puns, they'll put more brain power into a stupid punny name like having a fat guy named fatty, but can be read as round and when said fast sounds like belly or some shit over having a good worldbuilding, characters, story, and dialog. This is omnipresent in nearly all japanese media.
>>31677408
Japan sucks so hard
>>31674868
good luck with that m8 YA BOY is gonna be in the anime give or take a hundred episodes considering the grunts already appeared twice, the bright side is they treat the villains better
Gentlemen of /vp/, I heed you a warning. If you either understand moonspeak or watch the dub, skip everything Samson says if you want to live. He literally has almost NO characterisation outside of godawful Pokemon puns and metaphors that exist solely for the purpose of making a pun out of a Pokemon's name and accompannying it with an uncanny valley mon impersonation, made worse by the subpar dub team who can't even pronounce the L in Popplio.
tldr samson is somehow more suicide inducing than cameron
>>31678549
>watching the dub
>>31678549
You realize there are subtitles, right?
>>31678549
As >>31674216 said, it seems like an intentional troll by the Japanese writers. They had to have known that none of those puns would be remotely translatable.
>>31677408
>more brain power
Literally kids can do this. There's not a lot of brain involved.
>>31678552
It was an experiment to see how one guy could amplify the magnitude of that cancer, and I regret it with my life.
>>31678562
Do the subs usually make literal translations or try to convert them into other puns that make sense in English? Japanese puns are weird in how many of them don't translate well.
>>31678616
They adapt them so they make sense in English.
This line is "Pokemon School e youkoSolrock", so the subs reword the so it still ends with an S and they can put the name "Solrock" onto the end of it the same way the Japanese does.
The puns aren't particularly clever, so they're not too difficult to adapt like this.
>>31678646
That works pretty well.
>>31674216
Translators COULD leave it as a way to teach kids Japanese
>>31678806
The point of the show is to promote Pokémon, not to teach Japanese. If it would have any chance of confusing or frustrating kids, it ain't happening.
>>31678616
They did once change a pun on Camera and Blastoise sounding similar to one on Master and Masker.
>>31674119
Only made him hotter.
>Reference a Kanto Mon as a pun
>*Autistic screeching*
>>31678860
That's enough Alain
>>31678878

ITT: Butthurt Zardfags getting BTFO as usual

Because it's just you. I've watched every episode of the SM Ashnime so far and I've enjoyed it.

I'd rather have low standards if it means actually finding enjoyment in things instead of being a bitter, jaded old fuck my entire life.

You might want to understand what "getting btfo" means before actually using it.

>>31674432
XYfag gets overly triggered by Charizard: the post
>>31679755
That reads like you have a terrible, shit taste and are justifying it because you also turn your brain off to enjoy terrible, shit things.
>>31674216
That's just a side effect.
It isn't "Japanese writers trolling the foreign dubbers."reminds me of Shaman King, had an entire second-season main character with the exact same gag
>>31674287
TPCi's dub is seriously one of the worst dubs ever made, period: even 4Kids' dub was better, and that's saying a lot.
And yeah, they'll probably toss in even shittier puns like they did for the dub preview or add in all sorts of crappy slang and alliterations, usual shit.
>>31681701
>Implying Team Rocket's alliterations were a bad thing
>>31674200
I gotchu on that hot dank as fuck meme famalan
>>31681787
I can get behind this
>>31681739
>Implying Team Rocket's gibberish is a good thing
Sorry, but shit like "Dig it, jack, lugs off!" is trash dialogue- TPCi has some of the worst writing in its dub in the history of English dubs. When even 4Kids and their fetish for censoring managed to have a better voice cast, music, and a script, you know you've fucked up immensely.

>>31678646
Wait, Ash's bangin mum's back in the anime? Did she travel to Alola just to get OAKED by his brother?
>>31682232
Poppio. It vaguely sounds like they're trying to pronounce it like you would with the Ls in Vivillon.
>>31682279
Do you have a link to where I can ear them saying Popplio? I pronounce the Ls in Vivillon pretty hard, so I can't understand
I think he's a pretty tentacool guy. I wouldn't mind cracking open a beartic with him. Would it be farfetch'd to say he's the best character in sun and moon?

It's the first line, about three seconds in. I haven't bothered to watch the swimming race scene yet, but I'm going to do that and see if they continue to fuck it up.
>>31682343
Jesus, yeah, I don't know if it's just the shitty VA or what
>>31682357
Seeing as nobody else does it, it's probably that Lana's VA sucks.
>>31674119
The joke here is that he said and became "Lizardon", Charizard's Japanese name. Don, at the end, being a sound effect in Japanese which shows off something tremendous like the race that started immediately after he said "don". I don't know what the dubbers will do for this joke but I wish them luck.
>>31682362
All the dub VAs suck, not just Lana's, although the TPCi dub itself is flaming garbage by now.
By the way, don't expect the OST to be kept in the reairing of this episode, that Goldfarb guy has been confirmed to be returning for the Sun & Moon dub's proper run.

Don't get too into it, she was around for like 15 minutes before heading back to Kanto with Mr. Mime and leaving Ash to go to school in a region where he knows no one. Because Delia logic.
>>31682702
Get heavily medicated while he's at it, too. He's all over this board screaming about zardfags even now. I know it's just him, too.
Part of me kind of thinks he's just doing it to try to stir up shit, and is failing miserably because so little people fucking care.
>>31684787
It's kinda ironic that the person who seemingly hates Charizard so much would bring it up the most.
That said, I agree. He definitely sounds like someone who's trying to stir things up. Probably goes "LOL U MAD?" when he managed to do so too.
>>31681787
Nice.
