Will we ever get a female character in a prominent battling role again? Every female outside of May/Dawn has rarely battled:

- Misty as we know barely did any battling in her run. Most of her Kanto battles are Psyduck popping out to get a headache and in Johto she barely battled to the end.

- Iris had battles in the Don battle tournaments, but they were made for everyone in BW. Outside of them she only had a few

- Serena literally only had like 3 proper non-TR battles in her entire run, and they were always interrupted or not finished

- The SM girls only battles are against TR


This is pretty sad. I have no idea why the writers thought making the female characters into supporting/sidekick roles again was a good thing.

>>32488938
no, BW is the GT of pokemon

BW like GT was a failed attempt to approach to origins of the series

>>32488938
It's the Super of Pokemon.
But to be honest, Super is even worse for bringing back Freeza again.

OS = Dragonball
AG = Saiyan Saga
DP = Freeza saga
BW = GT
XY = Cell saga
SM = Super

We haven't gotten our Buu saga version of Pokemon yet.

>>32488983
OS = Dragonball

DP = Cell saga
BW = GT
XY = Super
SM = Freeza saga

FTFY

>>32488993
DP being Freeza saga fits better. Both sagas were good and important to the series, but the pacing was also too damn long especially in the later parts. Goku Vs. Freeza went on forever, just like the later half of DP was too stretched out.

XY on the other hand was pure shonen/drama focused, just like the Cell saga was. It was all about killer Androids from the future and drama with Future Trunks suffering, Gohan letting out his angst to become SSJ2, etc. Just like Ash/Greninja angst and Alan.

>>32488988
The 20th movie is more Path to Power if you ask me.

Man, the hype of XY was so real. It really was the last time anyone could believe the writers were taking Ash's character anywhere. People thought XY was making up for BW and getting the anime back on track, but then they just dropped everything again.

Even if Gen 8 is another DP/XY type series, nobody is going to be fooled again.

>>32490532

I'm still confused. XY still has a dear place in my heart, but I don't think I'm trusting them anymore to write anything worth a shot.

>>32490606
Yeah I don't get it either. Between that and Movie 20 axing Misty/Brock for random unknown characters (I don't even care that Misty/Brock aren't in the movie, but I'm just saying it's odd they market a nostalgia movie without them), makes you wonder what goes on in the minds of the marketing execs.

So do people like SM because they changed it up by it being "Ash in School on Alola (Hawaii)" instead of it being "Ash and co. meet people while Team Rocket tries to GET DAT PICKACHU!"?

>>32490670
From what I gather by reading opinions on other forums, they like SM because the humor reminds them of the OS and they like goofy/silly Ash over mature/battle-centric Ash from XY.

It's weird how long the writers took us for a spin. It all dates back to AG actually. When AG started we got competent Ash evolving his pokemon for the first time, and even though the Hoenn league wasn't treated as anything special, he then went on to win the entire Battle Frontier using many of his older pokemon.

That was back in 2006...over 10 years ago. Ash hasn't won a single important thing in over 10 years. Just makes me sick thinking about it.

Will this season ever get good or will it stay the same (low) quality all the way through?

>>32490670
I like because the harem is cute and Team Rocket finally have a good pokemon team.

>>32490706
I'd have understood if it had been used again during the Flare arc, but Greneinja literally never used it again. Never. Then why put it in the final battle of the league so that it doesn't do shit at all?

>>32490681
Ash does have more character and SM is a much funner/entertaining show to watch. XY was honestly pretty boring until it got to XYZ. Only thing you could look forward to was the gym battles.

>>32490730
I never got bored watching XY, outside some of the duller fillers here and there that every saga has. Bonnie/Clemont were always entertaining and I liked the pokemon on the cast and the way Ash acted. Serena had a slow start but she eventually became entertaining.

>>32490706
What's there to explain? It's just a more powerful version of the attack, like the giant one used against Mega Sceptile after using Double Team.

>>32490721
I'd argue their team was better in BW.

Reminder that this meme was started in order to lure /a/'s haremfags into watching SM - and they have already dropped the series.

>>32490670
I think people found it refreshing for them to change up the formula. Because I feel like for years they have been stuck on the same formula of Ash meets new crew initially, they go to places, hang out with random townie of the week, battle Team Rocket since they are STILL after pikachu, and then move on.

>>32490760
Which is why I don't get...the same thing still happens in SM. Even if Ash's not traveling the plots for the fillers and Ash still meeting filler characters and befriending wild pokemon is the same thing that's happening.

The school aspect is barely used outside a small handful of episodes. Ash's companions getting spotlight is the same as past series.

>>32490730
If by character you mean "gag faces and loudness", then you're right. I personally find him annoying.
For my part, I've found SM pretty boring, to the point I haven't watched all of its episodes. In fact, the only episodes I've watched after Ash met Kaki's family were Rockruff's capture and Stoutland.

I want the show to go back to the AG/DP/XY formula. The OS style of humor can never be recaptured so I don't know why they keep trying with BW and SM.

>>32490771
>Ash's companions getting spotlight is the same as past series
More or less, argueably the better episode so far they weren't on it at all and often really do nothing, they're just there.. But I get it happens mainly because it's harder to handle a cast of 6 than a cast of 3 or 4, with the addition of other characters showing up very frequently like Kukui and Oak.

>>32490751
At least that one sufficed to see the scene to be understood: he collected his 60 illusions' Water Shurikens into a single one to power it up immensely. That alone was enough to not only break through a STAB SE Leaf Storm coming from a Mega Evolution but also to destroy a Pokemon that takes only 1/4 of its full damage. You'd imagine that an even more powerful version would overkill something that takes its full damage and that anyone would at the very least acknowledge it, ask Ash how did they gather so much power in a sudden, but literally nothing of that happened.

It's the same shit, except the "going to places and hang out with random townie of the week" is replaced with Memele and a classmate of the day. The only reason they "changed" the formula was because the games did it, so they have no other choice but to follow suit.

The SM characters in general are likeable except for Sophocles, so it's not all that bad.

Kiawe is cool. Mallow is just blatant sex object, and Lana has a nice personality. I'm a bit mixed on Lillie so far but since she has a game plot coming she's bound to get more interesting.

Lana has a lot of dry sarcasm and deadpan expressions while having a cool and calm demeanor. She's actually the one girl in SM with a fairly unique personality that we've never seen from any past girl on the show.

>>32490889
Not that it matters since Serena is dead.

>>32490883
>>32490867
It's a lot more nuanced than that and it's not the content itself so much as the highly predictable/repetitive, autistic/cringe, manchildy nature of how it's written.

Will Ash ever become the VERY BEST? Or is he stuck failing at everything (except being Pikachu's bro) to keep the series alive?

Well, to be fair, I did try watching the one with Lillie and her ice fox. It was like watching a filler, and just by reading the episodes' summaries and the reactions from the live-watch threads at Thursdays, I've been put off from watching the rest of them.

For the record, I did watch the episodes before the Hala battle, all of them. Most of them felt like filler to me, even the ones that supposedly furthered the plot.

The problem is that with the current setting of the series it's hard to judge the progression as in if anything happens adds to anything at all.

To be fair, a lot of capture episodes in past sagas also felt like fillers if it weren't due to the actual capture.

It's posting by a highly autistic, easily triggered, robotic sounding, pedophilic, 31-year-old NEET who has plagued just about every Pokemon-related website for like half of his life and gotten banned permanently from at least three sites/forums/chats for trolling and spamming. He has an unhealthy level of obsession with like two dozen specific topics in the Pokemon anime, and he's so hopelessly autistic that he write minor variants of the same posts about those topics over and over and over again, year after year...lord knows why, burn maybe because he's attention-starved, bored, triggered or some combination of those. I could make a list of those topics if I really wanted to, but it's really more about the predictably autistic and creepy way in which they're written than the subjects themselves.

Was it early BW? Because people were optimistic about early BW. There was the whole Team Rocket change and everything.

It never seemed to me Iris was that popular. She was a nigger and she was honestly annoying in her anime incarnation.

Things were going fine and there was little to be mad about. Then came the leaked picture in December 2014 of short hair Serena which changed everything.

Heh, remember that one scene in AG where the animators forgot to draw May's spats? So it looks like May's wearing nothing under her white skirt? God bless the inconsistent animation of AG for giving us gems like this, this would never happen today.

It was just a quieter time when people weren't hyped for Pokemon throughout the gen 6 season. It all turned to shit once news of Ash in the finals spread and every faggot acts like they stuck through 20 years of watching Pokemon, when in reality they only spared like 3 years of Saturdays from their childhood.

You guys are fucking cancer, even Serebii Forums is better than this shithole.

There's some guy on serebii who says he hates Bonnie/Clemont and considers Bonnie worse than Iris. That should tell you what shit taste people on serebii have.

I'm still Namifag, and it still brings me great disappointment that they brought back her VA (Yoko Hikasa) back into the show, only to voice Amelia instead, who also was just a throwaway character.
