>Charmander abandoned and almost dies
>Chimchar mistraeted and abandoned
>Tepig tied and abandoned
>Litten his adoptive dad dies

why the pokeani staff likes to make sufferers the fire starters?

>>32252815
Japanese children and autistic western manchildren will have to deal with death in a cartoon for the first time. If this isn't end up being a red herring, that is.

Look at the reactions here a few posts higher; adult people saying they're going to cry because of a Japanese commercial ad targeted at children.

>>32252827
Of course.

>>32252827
For me it's more like the shock that they're killing someone off in the pokemon anime. I don't even watch this stuff but still

>>32252845
I concur. This happens all the time in Japan, although I'm uncertain about kodomo, it may not happen there. For Western audiences....yeah, I'm not sure the last time I knew any form of animation that had a death in it. It might've been Avatar, and even then, it was only a heavily implied death.

>>32252751
i don't understand, who dies?

STOP BULLYING TI FIRE STARTERS!!!

>>32252751
litten dies? I don't understand

>>32253055
Stoutland dies

Stoutland turns into Mufasa upon dying?

Might be cool.

>It's the "extremely old dog dies" and "master/mentor/grandfather" trope mesh in order to make you feel sad for the fucking cat show because he was the one that cared for the dog in the first place show

>All so you can enjoy Incineroar the fucking Wrestlemania tiger

Stoutland didn't deserve this.

HE DID NOT DESERVE THIS

I'm feeling a vendetta coming up deep within me.

Hold on.

I specifically remember a death in XYZ, but I might be remembering wrong. Although it was a flashback. Wasn't there a old lady that died of natural causes in it? Or maybe it wasn't there, it was somewhere else. It wasn't a actual witness of her "death", but she had collapsed in the flashback and the husband was there along with another pokemon (Floette?).

>>32253516
She is just mentioned. A lady did have a heart attack in a flash back though.

Litten is in the voice cast for episode 22, so that all but confirms that Ash catches it in this episode (episode 21)

>As Satoshi was doing battle training at the beach with Kaki, he spotted a mysterious shovel that moves around on top of the sand! Kaki told him that this is a Pokémon called Sunabah, and that it is said that something terrible will happen if you touch the shovel stuck in the top of it. However, Sunabah's shovel accidentally ended up flying off! And then something odd happens to the angry Sunabah...?!

Unless Ash caught it in the previous episode, there's no reason for Litten to be there.

>>32253516
Yeah, but here it's a death that's actually affecting a character who is part of the regular cast and not just some filler person we have no reason to care about.

That's because Kukui is catching Litten, stupid.

You can't even say "b-but Kukui isn't showing up in the episode" because IT FUCKING SAYS THAT KUKUI IS IN EPISODE 22

Given the complete absence of Ash in the screenshot, that seems to confirm that Litten won't be in Ash's team and that Litten is just leaving..

>>32254761
He won't the anime doesn't follow the games at all.

>>32254775
I was thinking that too.

But doesn't that just open up the perfect opportunity for him coming back and saving the day at the last moment, in one of it's evolved forms?

>>32254775
>>32254795
Starters all always caught by one of the main characters as soon as possible, they're never a stand alone for long.
also Litten being there in SM22 means it didn't leave.

Remember that "no one ever dies" on Pokemon rule in the early days?

I'm glad they're debunking that shit.

>>32254825
>Starters all always caught by one of the main characters as soon as possible
>he says, while Popplio is caught by a minor character

>>32254769

Yeah, I'll definitely love "totally not Charizard inside a human tiger suit 2.0 with all the wrestling snazz thrown in with a completely innovative state of the art sad backstory as if it was never done before".

Man, the dog dying snazz is one of those things that's been in a lot of media and regardless of how it's played, it always pulls the heart strings of anyone because surprise surprise, it's awful to see a dog or a animal in general dying, even if it's fictional. Go ahead and ask, it's rare to find someone who didn't cry at a scene like this. It's specially heartbreaking for someone who legitimately has or did own a dog before. They're doing this to Stoutland, who people are already expecting him to die. Even Meowth foreshadowed this. Even this >>32253558
is possibly hinting Litten being caught.

>>32254775
>>32254825
But Litten is in the voice cast for episode 22. If it isn't caught it at least is still present.

>>32254853
She's listed in the main cast.

>>32254925
I won't cry
meds im taking prevent me from crying even when my father died

Sorry for your loss. Sure he'd be proud of ya even if you might have not been in very good terms with him. Sucks losing a parent. Or both in my case. I'm not even sure how I made it with no meds, but I'm still living.

Be sure to treat your mother well too for as long as she lasts.

A lot of people and Pokémon died in XY. Hell, there were several episodes dealing with death and things like heart attacks throughout both seasons.

This isn't new. Old doggie is dying, big woop.

>>32255431
I'm just messing with you
Nobody wants another Ash-Greninja situation

>>32255392
if you can pull through without them i suggest not taking them, while they've done me good they've done bad as well.

>>32252821
It makes them better FIGHTERS. Gives them something to FIGHT for.

I keked T B H F A M

>Barafags actually still think having a sad backstory automatically means your going to be shill mon.

I thought this meme died in gen5. So let's cut to the chase, tepig, the perfect centrnder for the shill pokemon of gen5 but that title got tooken by krookadile,

And if you barafags haven't noticed yet. But litten is keeping up the traditional fire type pokemon sad story thing. Literally all of the fire pokemon that ash cought had a sad back story, starter or not. Even torckul had a sad background story. But littens background story is just abit more edgy. (For a comedy relief anime, they sone how got even more edgier then XYZ.)

And plus this is just a development episode for litten, after it passes, expect a development episode for Popplio, or th r more interesting out of the bonch, rowlet. GF just wanted littens sad story out of the way so they can get to some more important story's like, lillie and her family issues. Ash going to another trial, pokemon school ending, Popplio becoming a brionne, ash's dartrix hoping out of battles all the Times because it's a emotional rek, or maybe just a kukui focused episode,

Don't you ever wonder why they decided to start there first episodes of April with a litten focused episode. There literally playing with your heads barafags.

>>32254853
Lana is part of the main cast, dude.

>>32252751
good riddance
comedy relief dog was a shitty forced character, more than bonnie and clemont, plus already forgettable pokemon

Did people just forget about Hunter J? She and her crew actually get killed on screen.

The fact who makes this death special (if happen) is the background who gives to a future principal character, litten.
All of deaths mentioned before are death of a villain (more than a death a disappearance) or a random death mentioned by a character.

>>32257548

you still don't understand that sm anime is written in different ways than previous series huh? litten may not become ash mon but will become incineroar to be stronger and to somehow replace/surpass his dogo dad, it's really important character for the anime and who knows what they will do with him

>>32258615

and to be honest, I wonder how they will handle incineroar because litten and torra will be for sure pure badass

Not counting ghosts, as far as I know we've had
>Fuji and the other scientists in the Mewtwo movie
>Latios
>Lucario
>Hunter J
>Cyrus maybe
>Lysandre
>Espurr's owner
>the wife of that guy who had Cosplay Pikachus
>that dude from the XY&Z special and his waifu who turned to stone, as well as several other people killed by Yveltal and Zygarde

Death is not exactly a new thing in the show, but if the dog really dies then this is probably the first time they kill off a Pokémon outside of movies. And the first time a Pokémon actually dies by natural causes, without any magical bullshit.
