Everyone, just fucking filter the image filenames that that autistic shitter uses, since this board is so poorly moderated.
alright lets start this thread off right!! Amour thread!!
Dawn best girl.
No shittrena spam pls
>>31702580
shes up there for me as second best but i have to keep an open mind for the girls in alola, maybe they can surpass her.
Flying to the new thread, now with new titles.
Not sure about the "tiny trio" episode, but the Rockruff one and the Rotom one sound interesting.

omg thats so cute hahaha!
Mina when?
>>31702601

You can't use plural in the case of Alolan girls, only Lillie has potential to get near Dawn's level.
>>31702595

Can we actually discuss SM, the current season?
If this movie is about hatchu and the second is probably Marshadow, what the other will be? Mewnium is Pokebank exclusive
Mallow episode when?
>>31702991
No, it's the current season but it sucks. People still have Serena on their mind.
>>31702991
We would have been discussing it, if not for that "kawaii/pokegirl" spammer's autism.
But really, it's tough when all those episodes will feature more SOL shit that isn't conducive to discussion.
>>31703015

Just joined but who's his Serena kawaii and Scott poster?
>>31703070
Especially in the time period she was created, way back in 2002 which is now 14 years ago. She has to be one of the very first popularized oppai loli's in anime history. She came right before the anime moe boom in the mid 2000's too.
>>31702685
>Ehehe~ Satoshi, our child is so cute~!
>>31703091
May, dawn, and Serena all have such good charms. May has big breasts, dawn has the legs and ass, and Serena is all around
>>31703087
>just joined

>>31703093
That can't be his kid since it's not aFroakie
>>31703070
Brunette's with big boob is my fetish.
>>31702880
GARBAGE taste
>>31703150
Tan girls are my fetish but dammit they had to make iris annoying as fuck with a terrible hairstyle
>>31702976
>>31703179
Iris isn't tan, she's black.
>>31703124
He's bullshitting, no one would dare joining /padt/ for SM.
>>31703093
That's Mallow and Lillie's child.
>>31703150
>>31703091
Fuck off, Scott
so i get that contests were only a thing so that they could give may something to do, rather than have her sit around accomplishing nothing like misty. that said, i've never really understood the logic behind "contest battles." how is it any different from a regular battle if you can win by just knocking out your opponent?
>>31703179
So shouldn't Mallow and Shauna be your fetish? They're brown girls.
XY&Z specials subbed never ever.
>>31703253
Yeah I like them both
>>31703179
I barely watched any episode from her season so I made my opinion of her using only my dick. I feel your dilemma though.
>>31703244
This is how the Contests were in AG. During DP they realized they needed to differentiate Contest battles from normal battles more, so they had Dawn come up with Contest appeal/techniques during the actual battles and had to win by points.
May won nearly all her Contests by KOing her opponent like a regular battle. Then at the end of AG they said the reason she lost so badly to Solidad is because Ash's style of battling rubbed off on her and she had no idea what Contest battling was.
Basically May was a battler who got into Contests even though she's better suited for battling.
>>31702976
>>31703199
Hey there.
>>31703263
Hopefully soon, you know what's needed for them.
>>31703271
>>31703179
>>31703107
Stop replying to Scott posts you fucking retards
>>31703244
They often weren't decided that way however. They were more judged by how attacks were used and combined rather than how much damage was dealt
>>31703287
Or what?
To be fair May always seemed more like a battler than a coordinator. It's just that she couldn't do Gyms because that was Ash's thing, and Contests were introduced during her generation so that's what she got. It's likely why a battle round was created for the anime Contests in the first place when they don't exist in the games.
Serena's tripokalon's are more similar to the game Contests than the ones May or even Dawn did.
>>31703314
Fuck off Scott
>>31703314
it's time
:^)
>>31703308
Woah who's this character?
>>31703317
that's a pretty innocuous post to tell someone to fuck off for
rude
>>31703314
No! tripokalon is shiit

It's newfag o'clock, I see.
>>31703343
She fucks Walerins bruh
>>31703272
Videogame iris is fine since she's definitely sexy and fuckable but dammit I hate her anime personality.
>>31703344
it's still bullying
>>31703284
>you know what's needed for them
What?
>>31703343
A Cute!
>>31703263Tomorrow
>>31703371
...and? You expect known shitposters here to be treated nicely?
>>31703093
shit. well i was expecting ash to take responsibility sooner or later.
>>31703397
bullying is no good anon
Is the fartposter the same poster from before?
His spams right now is different that I unironically want to read it
>>31703402
Go to another site then, seeing as how you can't fucking handle it.
>>31703402
Bullying makes the world go round.
>>31703314
Tripokalons would've been a lot better if a)Serena was shown actively training them and did something different for each one and b)they weren't kinda rigged seeing how they were over-glorified popularity contests with audience votes instead of being impartially judged.
>>31703396
Nice.
>>31703407
Not that anon, but all this bullying yet you anons can't handle Scott or Serena or the flying thread or even when anons talk about pokegirls.
>>31703437
Dammit why is she so damn cute?!
>>31703439
Flying dude is harmless.
And niggers don't know how to report and ignore the rest.
>>31703464
It's mostly the shitposters replying to themselves at this point.
>>31703464
"The rest" includes the faggot you just replied to.
>>31702580
I'm here with you anon
>>31703477
It doesn't matter. The reply is legit.

Battles were a mistake Pokemon was always comedy gold. SM is a masterpiece. The games need to replace that shitty battle system.

>>31705284
How about now?
>>31705304
Better. Why don't you just make a text box that's big enough and just type it in big enough and with normal antialiasing.
That way you don't end up pasting a screenshot of an overly tiny (You) in there and end up blowing it up, which is causing all that pixelation/blur.

this shit makes you think man, like your number can be up at any moment in your life, as 2016 taught us - especially if you're the same age as she was

If her group recorded for other shows as well then yes, definitely.

Is it OK to be completely emotionally rekt by a show intended to sell $50 playsets?
>>31705748No, but that doesn't stop you from being completely emotionally rekt by a show intended to sell $40 monster-battling/catching/trading video games, $25 plushies, and rare trading cards.

Rewatching X and Y because I watched most of it as a dub first (I know I'm a fucking autist)
Serena got so much build up in the first 5 episodes. A whole lot of teasing and shit. Would of loved to of seen these threads back then.
>>31706071http://archive.nyafuu.org/vp
Look up "hype thread" or "anime thread" as the subject and you'll see them.
I'm so sorry you watched the whole thing dubbed first, because the dub absolutely butchers it.

C'mon this IS NOT Doraemon. Pokemon is known for the battles, not for the comedy bullshit. The biggest mistake for the franchise is to allow Kosaku Anakubo to draw that cringeworth Clefairy manga. He is the main culprit of this.
>>31704416
Aya Matsui really doesn't know how to handlewas one of the responsibles for dooming another franchise for almost 13 years.
Besides, the animation is inconsistent as fuck. Sometimes you can have a nice episode animated fully by Iwane, Ohashi or Nishiya, but after that you will have a pretty comfy batch of badly animated episodes with an overdose of stock footage that will make DBSuper's ep. 5 (which had parts animated by Ken Ootsuka) look like a masterpiece.
Even in the writers' department there's a kind of a heavy cutoff. From almost 8 writers XY&Z had we go to have actually only 3 regular writers (4 if we count the Movie, although we don't know if Yonemura is going to continue in the show).
If you have mostly women writing and making the concept for a show for boys, then you are gonna doom that show.

Easy peasy, add in a few scenes before Ash leaves to the other Islands where Hala and Kukui are discussing something in private and at the end of episodes with Olivia and Acerola give them scenes where Kukui contacts them.

Thanks for this. Can't wait to see how much better it is. Currently on the threads for the first few episodes. Whole lot of caps lock spamming, feels really different than it is now
>>31706165
>Mallow wants a threesome
She just views him as a younger brother kind of person.She actually wants the Lillie.
>>31706171
It's still not GOOD by any objective standard, since this is the Pokemon anime we're talking about. But it's much more watchable than the shitty-ass TPCi dub, and it's arguably the best Pokemon season yet.
>>31706183
>>31706177
Isn't it the duty of the older sister to help her younger brother with his first time?

He already had his first time with Serena, and there will be no "time" with Lillie.
Ash is Serena-only.
>>31706196
I started the sub just after the 7th Gym. So I got a fuck ton of things to see differently. Luckily got a friend to watch it too so I get to see his perspective
>>31706177
Mao treats everyone as a family. She is especially cares for both Ash and Lillie because they are both autistic.
>>31706203
She is never going to come back to the series.
>>31706226
She won, doesn't matter at this point. Even if we never see her again, she's still his future. Even if it's never in the anime
>>31706251
She can't be his future if the anime is his life.
Ash is going to end up with some random Pallet girl and you are going to like it.
>>31706258
The anime will end someday. He can be a kid as long as he needs to be. When it ends it's up to ourselves where it leads. All they can do is set it up. I'll just go by that flower shit
>>31706265
Fair enough.
>>31706087
Found the thread where Serena cut her hair. Didn't realize it wasn't leaked everywhere beforehand. Lots of anons freaking out about it, only like 2 people disliked it. Can Sun and Moon even come close?
>>31706295
>Didn't realize it wasn't leaked everywhere beforehand
It was leaked beforehand
We had trailer.
Arcade chip.
Anon who fucking spoiled her new dress in eve of XY59
>>31706298
Seems like people avoided the fuck out of it then. Lots of surprise when the next thread had it as the thread image. Looking through these archives is actually pretty good, making work go way faster.
>>31706258
>She can't be his future if the anime is his life.
The anime isn't his life. The anime is him as a 10-year-old. The rest of the years of his life will happen off-screen, and as the viewer you're supposed to conclude that he spends his adult years with Serena, based on what Yajima said.
>>31706265
>that flower shit
Don't even need to bother with the flowers since there's that interview. Remember, that flowers message was directed not just to the viewers, but also to the staff. It'd be really fucking weird for him to try to send his fellow staffers, of all people, a hidden message about a romance subplot that they all worked on (and that Yajima himself didn't even come up with).
>>31706319
Except that the anime kind of is his life, we as the viewers are following all of his adventures in the Pokemon World when he was a child, he has no future beyond that of what the writers intend for his childhood.
By the time they actually pull the plug on Ash, Serena will be long forgotten by Generation 1010 and Ash will end up with some random girl.
>>31706330
>Except that the anime kind of is his life
>he has no future beyond that of what the writers intend for his childhood.
Nope.
>>31706319
not the guy but yajima never said that. He said that the ending was left for audience open to decide how their relationship would conclude in the future. Not whether they will absolutely be a couple.
>>31706338
>He said that the ending was left for audience open to decide how their relationship would conclude in the future
He didn't.
>>31706342
Read the summary of his interview. he clearly says it.
>>31706345
Except he doesn't.
How do we fix Serena
It's without a doubt the worst character in the pokemon anime.
>>31706350
>Serena
>it
>>31706338
Summary on bulba said "Likewise, you're meant to hope and assume the two of them are going to become a couple later"
This is pretty much "Yeah, they're going to get together but we want you to decide that for yourself at the same time"
>>31706353
>This is pretty much "Yeah, they're going to get together but we want you to decide that for yourself at the same time"
Except it's not.
>>31706353
In any case, it means. If you want it to be canon its up to the viewers delusions.
>>31706359
>If you want it to be canon its up to the viewers delusions.
It's not a question of that at all.
>>31706353
But that doesn't imply that at all though? it is clearly saying that it is entirely up to the viewers to decide whether or not they end up together in the future, there is no "they're getting together" there is just "We wrote this plot about Ash having a love interest but its up to the viewers if he actually ends up with her"
>>31706357
What do you think it means?
>>31706362
You know. You can feign denial but the truth is there.
>>31706364
I think it's more. We made it really obvious it's going to happen but if you don't want that then it doesn't happen for you.
>>31706353
>bulba
>>31706374
>>31706367
>>31706380
Except it really doesn't, Ash shows zero interest in her in that regard and they are both ten year old kids who are unlikely to treat eachother as such in the future.
Serena kissing him holds the same meaning as Latias or Melody kissing him on the cheek.
>>31706364
>it is clearly saying that it is entirely up to the viewers to decide whether or not they end up together in the future
But it's not saying that.
>>31706396

It doesn't hold the same meaning.

She's his goal. She wants to see him in the future when he isn't an oblivious cunt. We will never see this future but it's a situation that has been set up for our interpretation.
>>31706405
You can keep on just replying "no" or "it doesn't say that" but it doesn't make your delusions any more real than your first time.
>>31706417
>but it doesn't make your delusions any more real than your first time.
They aren't delusions.
>>31706416
It's no longer interpretation when the director confirms it with a producer in the room.
>>31706396
anon. there is no point arguing they are just going to keep denying it. that's why they have always been the cancer to these threads.
>>31706429
Pot trying to call the kettle black?
>>31706429
No they aren't :^)
>>31706295
We knew it was happening, but not how it would look, and it wasn't entirely certain it was going to happen in that episode.
>>31706429
>>31706417
>>31706431
I'm not a shipper but okay.
Name one good thing about XY that isn't Serena
>>31706440
You don't have to be a shipper to accept what the director told you. Only westerners like you continue to deny what the interview and the kiss scene meant.
>>31706446
3D camera angles in battles rather than static background
>>31706447
Just stop. You know perfectly well they're just denying it to shitpost.
>>31706436
It is going to continue until people stop acting retarded and give up on this shitposting.
>>31706447
It seems that haven't exactly accepted it either.
>>31706461
We've had denialfags shitposting ever since the kissu. The interview should've put it all to rest since it reconfirmed what we knew all along, but denialfags will keep denialfagging.
>>31706460
Alright then.

Although in my opinion, SM is overall superior in terms of Animation quality and the likes, although the art style needs improvement with Ash and James in particular.
I also like Rowlet more than I do most of Ash's XY Pokemon and the battles are decent right now but we need to see more before you can objectively or subjectively say if SM is better with battles than XY.Lillie Lana and Mallow are better than Serena
>>31706478
>Lillie Lana and Mallow are better than Serena
>three characters who collectively did less in their first three months than Serena did in her first six months are better than Serena
>>31706482
>months
just stop.
>>31706478
I do like how fluid the animation is in Sun and Moon and it does feel a bit more expressive. I just prefer the older art style.
But the Sun and Moon anime is nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be based on the poster and trailers.
>>31706482
Meant to say "in her first three months"
>>31706482
What did Serena do in her first YEAR as a character?
>>31706482
She actually really didn't do much
Even considering how she didn't have to share screen time with 5 characters.
>>31706509
Chased after Ash.
Started making youtube videos
Made a cooking rival in masterchef
Learned to fly
Made a best friend
Blushed a bunch
Abducted a panda
>>31706499
You know he's right though. Lana has been totally fucking useless. Mallow just acts like a big sister while her Bounsweet goes poof poof poof. Lillie's defining feature is a running gag.
All three of them are pretty much useless right now. It's not an exaggeration in the slightest to say Serena had more going for her than the three SM girls combined. We learn more about Serena's purpose or motivation in the very first episode of XY than we've learned about any of the SM girls so far after 13 fucking episodes.
>>31706528
Pardon? What did Serena have going for her?
In the first episode we already clearly established how much Lillie loves Pokemon and how she has a fear of them that she needs to get over to further her understanding of them, already making her a far more developed and mature character than Serena who took a year before she knew what she wanted to do.
Lana has already displayed a great deal of courage and heroism by saving multiple lives and has her dream of being able to traverse the sea floor which she has already shown a great deal of progress towards.
Mallow has shown that she is a talented cook and mature girl who guided Ash around the Pokemon School and taught him about the Island itself.

Still waiting for Litten to be caught and for Bewear to something other than catch TR.
>>31706523
It's easy to make her look bad when you ignore everything about her struggles with her mother and Rhyhorn racing, which we learn about before we learn anything about her crush or any of the other shit with baking or Pokevisions.
She's a character with a clear purpose in literally the first scene of the XY series. Contrast that with the three SM girls who are basically classmates who don't seem to have any purpose besides existing for the sake of existing and occasionally having dialogue with Ash.
Serena's first year was pretty disappointing overall given that she doesn't find her goal until the summer camp arc, but the SM girls' start is even worse than Serena's first 13 episodes.
>>31706554
Oh no, that was just a shit attempt at humor. I really like Serena. I'm in the middle of re-watch and she has about 6 minutes total screentime in the first 5 episodes but they're way better than anything the SM girls have gotten.
>>31706554
Not exactly about the girls but I'm rather disappointed by the lack of Kiawe screentime so far. Other than his episode he's barely done anything of note.
>>31706551
>>31706563
Fuck off, Mimi
>>31706563
He's a cool character. Especially in the games. Hope they do something good with him
>>31706569
Don't reply to the tripcancer.
>>31706571
Shit sorry. Chemo me
>>31706560
I agree. Plus, she gets so few minutes because they are used for build-up purposes. Those five to ten minutes of screentime she got in those five episodes were very good despite their brevity.
Her minutes after XY07 ends, however...not so good, until the summer camp.
>>31706581
I won't, but you can have this as your reward.
>>31706582
>>31706588
All it took was her saying Satoshi and getting excited with a "to be continued" to get the hype going.
But I feel nothing for this season, don't even wait for the episodes on thursday anymore, Just catch them when bored
