Since this arc is pretty much filler paradise, what episode would you like to see made?
movie info soon?
>>31791974
In an hour, with a bit of luck.
I love Lillie
>>31791934
Lana gets nude.
>>31791934
Jessie and James meeting their "Alolan" counterparts in Team Skull and them making fun of the dub with the counterparts rhyming and making terrible puns. It would be perfect if you had Musashi, Kojiro and Meowth VS. Jeshi, James and Alola Meowth
>>31792000
I never knew how much I wanted this until now.
>>31792000
That fat Skull dude makes awful puns already, though.
>>31792000
>make fun of something the writers don't even know exists
What
>>31792032
The writers of the show are aware of the dub
In the Rocket radio show, they kept naming Musashi "Jeshi" and Kojiro James. They also made fun of the fact that "they would never rhyme in another language"
>>31792049
The radio show was written solely by Mima, and he's not a writer for the show.
>>31791934
An episode where Samson imposes a school uniform. Has to be not shit though, something like this would be ideal.
>>31792062
Or something like this.
>>31792070
Basically that without the vest. Alola is a tropical island, they don't need sweaters there.
>>31792062
I'd cuddle-fuck the shit out of that girl
>>31792086
So like this, then?
Scott when?
>>31792126
That, but without the vest. So this, but with short sleeves.
>>31792137
Jesus my heart
>>31792155
Omode pls
>>31792137
why is eggs > sm
>>31792203
Because eggs is legitimately a damn good show, while Sun/Moon is mostly mediocre with the occasional good episode.
>>31792203
Because it actually knows how to balance its characters an make you care about them.
Also, it's comfier, the humor is better andthe girls are cuter
OHA
>>31792308
S O O N
The XY Dub is shit it's true, but nothing about it triggered me more than the title screen. One of the most fun things about XY for me was the title screen focussing on the character of the episode, something TCPI stopped doing about 7 episodes in and on like 2 other episodes throughout the rest of the run.
Apologize.
Dawn best girl.
>>31792346
Never
Will we ever get an episode where we can see that the animators must have really enjoyed making that scene? Since they're not restricted to on model appearance now in SM I want to see how far they'll take some battles or character interactions
>>31792352
>Steal
Dawn dyke confirmed
>>31792346
Remember that XYfags are getting very annoying like the Nostalfags and Mistyfags.
>>31792227I just wish SM was better ;_;

That shitter fucked it up too.
>>31792613
>That many qt votes for the man
I didn't realize so many of them were homosexual. No wonder their birthrate is so low.
Next ep looks cute
>>31792630
They were voting for who his partner would be, so they voted for the mascot fuck.
>>31792656
Still faggotry. Anyone who doesn't want to see more of that middle qt is literally gay. The left girl a fine too.
>>31792668
Nanoka is my favorite of the girls just because of how adorable she is, but sometimes her voice annoys me because it's so high-pitched.
Hey guys, remember that Pokémon Club Winter Special that we found out (only after it was too late) had been airing in multiple installments for nearly a week?
Well...SOON

So any day now.
>no movie news in Oha
It just keeps tumbling down.
Tumbling down.
Tumbling down.
>>31792215
Not, it is through the fault of the idiotic sensation very expanded in this fandom that any different shit is better, when, analyzing it of objective form often it is not true. It is like a complex of inferiority that spreads to all the things related with pokémon.
>>31792796
...in English?
>>31792785
>>31792814
It's the 16th already, anon. We ARE getting something this week.

It took me a moment to get it, but he's saying "This fandom often believes that anything is better than Pokémon when objective analysis would say otherwise. It's like a franchise-wide inferiority complex."
>>31793372
>Pokemon SM objectively better than eggs
post amour
>>31793383
That reminds me, subs are mostly caught up for eggs now...
You know what the anime needs? Mecha.
TR hasn't whipped up a giant robo since forever.
>>31793603
No, that robot shit should stay in shows like Gundam.
>>31793617
They called the Footrace Winner-kun from SM13 a mech. Does that count?
>>31793779
Meant for >>31793603
>>31793603
When WAS the last time, anyway? Last one I recall was in the fake Satoshi episode.
>>31793797
The Ultra Special Mega Mega Super Attack Ingenuity Nyarth
>>31793779
It was more of a glorified scooter in a Bewear costume. I wouldn't count it, but it's not off. Maybe if they make things more robo-like with technical functions, then that would be interesting to watch.
>>31793797
Heh, I remember the Johto and Hoenn fillers were filled with those giant TR mecha robots. They still did it in DP but not as much.
>>31793698
I want to slide between Serena legs.
>>31793698
Loli Ash and Serena is so cute.

Why did Grace force her daughter to go to some camp in the middle of fucking nowhere when she clearly didn't want to go?

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD NIGHT /lillie/. Can't wit until next week for the new episode. Enjoy your shitty eggs and puke inducing cgi dance numbers.

>>31794405
I know...we have to do the work friend
Someone was telling me something that they swear is true, and I just want confirmation if it is known: Was the head writer of XY the one who wanted to keep Ash losing so that Alain could win, and wound up getting fired after the negative backlash?
Cause I thought Ash losing was something the producers wanted to keep or something.
>>31794502
...No? Where the hell did you hear that? He's written a fourth of the current season's episodes.
>>31794512
Someone from somewhere else.
>>31794502
I want to believe, but the Nips usually don't call others out on shit to avoid disrespecting each other. So it's unlikely for someone getting fired over the bad choices of XY unfortunately.
>>31792334
The SM dub is also shit now, too, TPCi fucked it u badly again:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwH3desTt5w
Fuck TPCi dubs.
>>31794519
Well, he needs to explain to you why the head writer of XY has been writing so many SM episodes, then.
>>31794543
We need to do a /padt/ dub.
>>31794556
I was pretty sure he was wrong from the start. I think he just got the wrong info from somewhere and wasn't actually paying attention to who the writers are.
>>31794558
Anything's better than TPCi dubs at this point, really.
>>31794572
It's more likely that he hated whoever made Ash lose the league to Alan and wanted to bullshit some closure out of his ass. The head writer was his target for some reason.
>>31794601
The culprit must have been one of the higher-ups, some old japanese fart in a suit who told them "No, Satoshi wiru nottu winnu a reague purease understandaru".
>>31794502
The head writer of XY is the same person writing next week's episode.
That should tell you how bullshit this is.
>>31794502
Sounds like something that got pulled from the same ass that brought us that "they brought back the BW writers to write the XY league finals" bullshit last year
>>31794629
That's what I assumed. The guy >>31794502 spoke to was obviously a professional bullshitter.
>>31794661
To be fair the same BW writer who wrote the Cameron battle did also write the Alan battle. That said, he wasn't 'brought back' for it, as he had been there throughout XY up to that point.
>>31794684
Well yeah, that's where it came from. They saw the same name credited for both episodes, then spun some shit about how he "was brought back"
It's odd to think now that we were all furious with the idea of Tobias, but seeing the bullshit they've put out since then, Tobias really was the best we could have hoped for in a 'he can't win' scenario.
>>31794764
>>31794764
NENENENE?
>>31794543
Sounds like 4kids to me.
And people actually WANT that shit?
>>31794814
NENE
>>31794855
>>31794750
Tobias actually served two purposes: to be a wall Ash couldn't advance through, and to show his power and skill: he was the only trainer to defeat his Darkrai in the league (including the schmuck he faced in the finals) and not only that, he also beat his Latias.
Alan on the other hand was merely the biggest bait-n-switch ever in the league. And most damning, at the end Ash didn't show his growth as a trainer in the league because:
>he had already perfected the A-Ninja forme
>his match against Shota didn't test his skill because he consistently kept beating the manlet in every previous battle but one (which he lost due to inner conflict bullshit)
>his battle against Alan didn't show his growth because he still never beat him once before (and never fought against him afterwards)
And the orange shuriken. What the fuck was that? What was it supposed to do? Why was it never explained? Why did ChokeFroge never use it again?
>>31794855
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>31792577
Dem legs hnnnnggggggggg

>those eye bags
MY FUCKING DIIIIIIIIIICK
>>31792552
>>31792577
Huh, Maru is pretty stacked for a nip
>>31794896
It's certainly no secret that people were really seething after Ash v Alan. The next episode preview had something like 50,000 dislikes, and other TVTokyo videos got dislike-bombed as well.
>>31795018
Nozomi did nothing wrong.
>>31791934
This is what I really want to see:
>Sophocles is working on a time machine for whatever reason
>It actually works
>Jessie uses it to go back in time to try and change history so Serena doesn't win her third key and therefore doesn't make it to Master Class
>Cal is in Alola with them, taking Scraggy on a holiday or some shit
>She ends up in the past with Ash, Jessie and Sophocles
>The three of them have to stop Jessie from changing the past
>When they arrive in the back room we get a replay of this shot
>Cal comes up with some bullshit about how Jessie wants to sabotage Serena
>the other performers agree to try and stop her
>At some point Serena gets a brief glimpse of Alola Ash, but doesn't recognise him as Ash, just as someone she knows
>They ruin Jessie's plans so Serena still gets to perform
>they go back to their own time
>the end
I really appreciate that they're trying to make Lillie's moments feel profound and authentic. But I wish they'd stop putting in all that unneeded gag humor at the very end of all her serious scenes. It kills the mood and emotion. Save them for some other time.
>>31795287
Fatfuck looks so cartoonishly out of place there holy shit
>>31795314
>out of place everywhere
There, FIFY
>>31795287
>tfw Rotom doesn't give a fuck
>>31795314
Fatfuck should have been Illyma
>>31795371
He really should have. I genuinely don't understand what they were thinking.
>>31795403
Togedemaru. That's literally the onky reason why they picked him over mongoose guy.
>>31795287
Lillie's development is literally just a more comical re-tread of Serena and May's before that. Another girl who knows nothing about pokemon, is reluctant to be a trainer, and has to get used to them.
>>31795574
Fuck off
>>31795287
Yeah, no, this is SM, and le gag and le meme reactions come first and before everything else.
>>31795670
Whenever something serious happen in an anime sometimes they try to lighten up the moment, Pokemon Sun and Moon just has bad timing and could make an attempt on timing it better in the future.
>>31794826
4Kids was much better than TPCi when it comes to handling Pokemon's dub: it's the only Series they treated well.
>>31796010
4kids was still changing way too much of the music by Johto and Hoenn.
At least in Kanto they left in at least 80% of the Japanese music.
Movie
News
Fucking
When?
>>31796318
March. They usually do a dumping of news in the first few days of March.
>>31796359
They do in mid February too.
>>31796382
Let's hope it's soon then.
>>31795574
its completely different for her though. May preffered to travel rather than be a pokemon trainer but she didnt hate or fear them. Serena was sassy and spoiled early on and at first only traveled to be with ash but then enjoyed the company of her pokemon and her friends and still won da ash. Lillie just had a bad experience from the looks of it and fears pokemon for the time being but now can be with her vulpix just fine.
>>31796513
>even entertaining such a retarded post with a reply
Why?
>>31796513
>replying to Scott
>>31796549
im not familiar with scott since i havent been here in a long while
>>31796558
Lurk more newfag
>>31796572
not new, just took a break from this page. ive been dodging all the serenafags and geekshitposter and just got back to start watching sun and moon
Why is taking them so long for Ash to capture another pokemon? We're 15 episodes into the saga and he still only has Rowlett. At this point in every other series he has at least 2 pokemon
>>31796584
Fuck off, Scott
>>31796581
Exactly, these threads are not the /padt/ you remember. You're new to this mega-cancer that is SM /padt/, ergo, a newfig.
>>31796581
wew
And Scott has been here for years, falseflag-kun
SM is shit
>>31795186
We need more time travel episodes.
Also, I'm still surprised by how Rotom-Lift is capable of time travel. Maybe Ash will suggest using RotomDex as a catalyst for time travel?
>>31796687
Eh, that time-travel episode in XY was pretty polarizing here. Some people loved it, others trashed it.
>>31794558
My curiousity is killing me.
>>31796687
>Clemont suggests time travel
>Ash and Serena immediately make fun of him
Why was this allowed?
>>31796782
Nerds are made for bullying.
>>31796819
>>31796952
>>31796952
>>31796992
Bonnie/Clemont were some of the best supporting characters the anime ever had.
>>31796317
4Kids kept 72% of the OST in Johto Season 1, 74% in Kanto Season 1.
Also, the Kanto/OI Movies both got fucked with OST replacements, 4Kids actually did better with the Johto and Hoenn Movies, since they left the OST alone there.
And even in Hoenn's Anime, 4Kids kept more of the OST than TPCi did in late Unova, Kalos, and now Alola.
>>31796649
well i never understood what the problem is with scott. the geekshitposter was the worst.
>>31796782
well serena will do anything to get ash's support
>>31797186
The fact that he just spams the same 20 or so retarded posts over and over and acts like he's never posted them before?
>>31797212
about the older pokemon seasons?
>>31797256
Not the same anon, but autistic spam about all seasons. It's gotten to the point where 95% of what he posts gets caught by my filters, just because he repeats himself and reposts the same 30 to 40 images so goddamn much.
>>31796581
>dodging all the serenafags
How can you dodge them when you are one yourself? Don't think I don't recognize you.
>>31797293
what are you talking about?
When does PokeFan come out?
So i just watched the episode "the Scheme Team" which takes place immediately after the ever grande conference. After parting ways with Max and May, Ash and Brock walk from Hoenn to Kanto. However, according to the maps of these regions, they are not connected by land or bridge. How they managed to walk from Littleroot Town to Pallet Town and Pewter City in under a day is unknown. Additionally, Professor Birch and Max are shown arriving at Ash's home at the end with his SUV, within hours of Max's return home.
Explain how this is possible.
>>31797537
fuck off scott
>>31797565
That's...not him.
>>31796558
Scott is a guy who is always talking about pokegirls, May the most.
>>31797565
>first time in this thread
>get confused for some random name fag and told to fuck off
well gee aren't you a welcoming bunch of folks.
>>31797537
>>31797565
>>31797669
I'm sensing something weird is going on here.
>>31797145
You can NOT look at 4kids other works and tell me they would not pull the same shit DuArt does with the Pokemon Anime.
>>31797669
The thing is that him is not a namefag, but people insist in call him by a name.
>>31797537
I always did find it strange they had the AG group split up after Hoenn...just to reunite them all a single episode later. I mean, what was the point of that? They simply all could have traveled at once from Hoenn back to Kanto.
>>31797690
Mate, nobody in their right mind does the "fuck off, Scott" thing anymore unless he wants to shitpost (not that I would judge him that harshly, there's NOTHING going for /padt/ with SM).
Also, considering >>31797565 and >>31797669
are much more similar in writing style than >>31797669 and >>31797537, chances are we're being shitposted yet again.
Just ignore it and move along.
>>31797869
>nobody in their right mind does it anymore unless they're just shitposting
Not true, but in this case it definitely seems like it is.
>>31797695
4Kids' other works weren't handled faithfully for the most part, unlike Pokemon, which they handled better than DuArt.
>>31798033
There's a nostalgia cloud, then there's a nostalgia bubble.
You are in the Bubble variety.
4kids Pokemon adaptation was NOT any more "faithful" to the original than their other pieces of work and deep down, you know it.
>>31798113
It has nothing to do with nostalgia. Your hatred for 4Kids means you fail to use logic to substantiate your points, which I will now do to prove your false claim as simply that.
4Kids adaptation of Pokemon kept more of the Japanese score than TPCi's adaptation of Pokemon did as a whole at this stage (and other than Dinosaur King, was 4Kids' only dub to keep quite a chunk of the Japanese score at all), it had a more faithfully adapted script (a few dumb jokes in Movie 1 & at times, granted) but most of the time the script kept true to the characters in general, unlike TPCi who give Ash slang and Team Rocket alliterative pun rhyming lines all the time since DP, and their adaptations of Movies 4-8 were *very* accurate tot the source material.
In addition, they also kept the BGM in the shorts from Movies 3-6 as well (7 & 8 had no shorts in either version), which 4Kids didn't do for their other dubs.
4Kids' Pokemon was *much* more faithful to the source material than all their other dubs, sans maybe Dinosaur King which also kept silence in that show's case.
>>31798113
I should also add that considering 4Kids were keeping the OST intact in Shorts 3-6 & Movies 4-8, there was an improvement on their part with Pokemon in those aspects.
TPCi, on the other hand, has regressed to replacing almost all the OST in Shorts 16-19 and Movies 17-19 as of late.
So no, I know what I'm talking about, nostalgia goggles are off. 4Kids actually did an alright job with Pokemon, surprisingly.
>>31798263
>>31798274
Too deep in that bubble to hear me, I see.
Nothing I say will drag you out, so why should I try?
>>31798274
It's funny... I watched the 4kids dub of the original series recently.
And I find it to be completely unwatchable.
>>31798274
>4kids dub sucks.
>b-but muh OST
NOBODY GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THE DAMN OST YOU TURBOFAGGOTS!
>>31798274
Is the OST of an anime really that important to people now? I guess from now on I'll judge an anime by it's opening theme.
>>31798296
You aren't bringing up any facts, so if anyone's being in a bubble, it'd be you.
>>31798302
I find the 4Kids dub of Original Series to be fairly good and watchable, actually, not much was altered outside of maybe Misty's catchphrase.
>>31798320
The facts are:
1. 4Kids dub kept more of the OST than TPCi's dub.
2. 4Kids dub had a more faithful script adaptation than TPCi's dub, particular in regard to Team Rocket.
3. 4Kids dub had longer intro themes than TPCi's dub.
While this final point is subjective, most of the fandom thinks 4Kids' VA work was superior to TPCi's VA work as well, mainly because one of TPCi's voice director admitted not to voice directing shit for 7 years.
So yeah, a good dub keeps OST, writes scripts faithfully, has good acting, has decent OPs and EDs, all things TPCi's lacks.
>>31798354
Yes, if a dub doesn't keep OST, it's not a good dub because it's unfaithful to the source material.
One hour till eggs
>>31798354
And I should also add the largest edit in the Pokemon dub happens to ironically come from the TPCi dub, clocking in at 10 minutes:
http://gabo2oo.tumblr.com/post/153398914789/so-there-was-quite-some-censorship-in-the-english
Even 4Kids never did this to Pokemon: this is TPCi's dub.
>>31798354
Also, there's more censorship from TPCi's dub here:

>No episode today
Oh ok...
>>31798390
>implying anybody will be awake to watch it
>>31798440
Newfag pls
>>31798399
>>31798409
>tumblr
Fuck off back there
>>31798513
I was being a bit facetious obviously, but I say that because there's no Pokemon episode today, that's why not many people will be here.
Still no M20 news?
>>31793529
Fine by me.
>>31796782
Ash had a tendency of being on Clemont's side but occasionally latter got the best of him too
>>31798529
>Still no M20 news?
No, but we know it's coming.
>>31798573
Well that's for sure I guess.
Alola!
>>31798593
This would have BW written all over it.
>>31798593
An OS fans wet dream.
It's time!
>>31798622
Haven't even started the ads here. Sherming mudt really be behind this week.
Lewd
Idol-chan a qt
Oh shit continuity!
Geracho is shitty at staying hidden
The rest of Kate's team is sick, so guess who has to participate in their place
All dat smug
Those idles a qts
>the eggs ran off again
Of course
Hey, we get another tiefu tonight. They're cute.
I mean she's probably a one-off and she's not the tiefu, but hey, she's cute.
>Big Wave
>Oonami
wew
The smugs are getting beaten
Oh fuck, he saw the eggs?
That's cheating
>>31798697
That's what Cocotamas do.
Goddammit Oshaki
That guy is getting fired so hard
>>31798689
>>31798713
Well it is a scientific fact that qts ae nade for suffering.
So in the end, it was another episode where everything would have worked out just fine if the eggs hadn't fucked things up in the first place?
>>31798718
Looks that way.
>she's perorming solo
boo
Seems a bit quiet on /padt/, what's the give folks?
>>31798716
That was their cheer yell.
>>31798729
Sherming is way behind this week.
>>31798726
No episode this week, not much news on anything either.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dluha9hSZs4
Not their best offering. Other girls were cute and Kate's song was auditory bliss, but the Cocotamas caused far tio much trouble to just get away with it scott-free, even though they carried on as if nothing had happened.
Next week: "Happy Hunters Mishiru and Mogutan"
>>31798744
Tiefu?
>>31798746
>Happy Hunters
Obviously
>>31798746
She wasn't in the preview, but she'll obviously be in it given the title
Rola time!
>>31798747
>>31798751
My dick approves
Oh right, Rola episode today.
>>31798731
Moko has been extremely stable today, try that
>Aikatsu Stars CDs
These songs just don't feels as memorable as the songs from the original series
>>31798756
Rola/Mahiru
>Have some hot chocolate. I know it's late, but it's sugarfree, so don't worry
...what? Is there any logic here?
>>31798593
"Hey, Ash! I'm your new teacher starting today!"
Yume and Rola need to make out already
This is going to be a feels episode, isn't it?
>night
>melancholy music
Is this the start of Aikatsu - Darkness Falls?
Does the pain, the death begin here?
>I called her reply in advance
She really has turned into a walking catchphrase, hasn't she?
>>31798759
>it's the spinning circle show
>>31798781
Well, the episode is about Mahiru and Rola bonding over their feelings of inadequateness
That cat has attention deficiency
>>31798793
Well, shit, that explains.
Feels sad.
>riven with inadequedacy
>talk to living goddess who can do no wrong
Something feels off here
>>31798792
Yeah, it suddenly got shit. Worked fine during eggs
>>31798769
Like she could teach anything to anybody.
Cute
>>31798804
/ai/ probably. There's only one guy there who watches eggs.
>that giant ass snowball
Little kids playing in the snow while the adults are inside talking
>>31798815
There's only like 3-4 people from /ai/ max that livewatch aikatsu
>>31798813
She's a Water-Type Gym Leader, anon.
Looks cold
Why is Yume 5 years old?
Oh shit, the ganguro girls, isn't it?
>atomic shelter klaxon
Are they trying to say something?
Also those dresses are cute!
I hate how we don't always get full body shots in Stars
Really hard to get a good shot of Mahiru's outfit
Koharu will never return, will she?
And Ako episode next week!
>>31798867
>you are this mad
>it's always the one second and one episode only girls that are the cutest
Why do they do this? Pokemon, Naruto, they all do this.
>>31798916
Because Japan knows America are waifufags and is still trying to punish them for Hiroshima.
>>31798916
At least eggs gets it right by making their cutest the main character.
>no one married the fucking cute ramen girl
What the flying fuck? Kakashi would only have to ask.
>>31798916
But the cutest Pokemon girl just got three years worth of episodes.
>talking about another chinese cartoon in a Pokémon board
just go to /a/
>>31798938
No she didn't. She got about 3 and a half minutes across the same movie twice.
>>31798940
Back to /co/mblr
>>31798940
Lurk more
>>31798835
And that's the problem anon.
>>31798940
On any other time they should, but not now.
Lurk more.
>>31797507
The 20th, so it'll probably leak tomorrow.
That face Tenten is giving is precious
>>31798938
Serenafags will never give it up, will they
Stupid Sexy Mallow.
>>31799043
>>31798593
That would totally ruin the atmosphere of fun and relaxation SM tries to pass to its viewers.
>no SM episode today
>don't even miss it
>>31799143
Miss what now?
>movie news "roughly the 15th"
>it's now the evening of the 16th
When?
>>31799149
This can't be real.
>>31799149
wew
>>31799149
MATSUI!
>yfw Pokenchi actually has news
New bred, added subs:
>>31799170
>>31799170
>>31799170
>>31799161
You never know...they are going to be acting out a scene from the Volcanion movie, after all.
>>31799152
Ever thought about what happens when you pause certain animations, anon? Shit like this happens more often than you think, and it's always golden.
>>31794012
I'm honestly glad they haven't resorted to the giant mecha yet. It was basically the laziest way to write around Pikachu and his lightning bolts, nevermind the fact the asspulls needed to usually win against it.
