Anon, it's Friday. Why'd you have to go and make me sad?
XY was so fucking good it makes me rage to see how shit cunt twat awful SM is.
>>32520871
XY was shit for the first 80 or so episodes
to this?
>>32520871
>tfw XY is over and we're stuck with an inferior replacement for the next two years
Aeshetics wise, XY was the pinnacle, maybe the animation in Sun/Moon is a bit more expressive, but Fluidity=/=Aeshetics.
>>32520897
You shut your whore fingers.
XY was pure gold (in pokémon terms) and even the fillers were fun.
SM is shit covered with shit and laced with shit. Shit all around.
>>32520899
>I don't like this thing so someone saying he likes it is definitely bait
Plus, even if you don't like it for whatever reason, you can't deny the quality of animation, battles and storyline, that of course had its flaws but they were at least trying.
SM can't be defended by any measure. Even the shitstain animation that was supposed to be "better" and "more expressive" turned out to be a massive lie.
>>32520922
That's what bothers me the most.
>>32520952
>being this autistic and wrong
>>32520963
>having no argument
>>32520952
The animation was generally garbage except for a few cherrypicked battles. SM is more consistently fluid. Storyline was a complete fucking mess and probably the worst next to Johto and Unova. Battle writing was terrible.
>this triggers the XY fag
>>32520969
this. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, /vp/ is generally comprised of assholes who got spoiled with a few stellar moments in XY, and now unapologetically shit all over the place because those moments aren't in the pretty objective improvment that is S/M
To this T H I C C
>>32521055
THAT FUCKIN BUTT
>>32520966
You didn't make an argument in the first place, you just spewed a bunch of subjective nothing. >>32520969 refutes it pretty completely.
>>32520952
you are just salty cuz u know your dumbfuck serena isnt coming back for an important role
>>32520967
That wasn't even me but I admit that image was spot on.
Someone else mentioned BW. Oh God, I can't decide which one is worse, or which I hate more.
>>32520969
This is bait. You can't fucking compare a pretty straightforward arc, where Ash battles gyms, gets to the league, defeats the baddies and ends the arc to the true shit festival of dumbed down retarded "Island challenge" and rainbow colored whores instead of properly written characters.

>Has facebook frog to confirm shit-tastes
>>32521116
>generic game plot
>not dumbed down
oh i'm laffin
actually it's worse than a game plot, because there's no meaningful rival or tension to anything. so actually it's pretty true to the XY games, but that doesn't make it a good show. please acquire some taste.
I liked XY a lot but I love how good SM is being to Team Rocket.I'm prepared for it to all blow up in their face at the end
>>32521222
You're missing the point. I never said it was the best anime, I only said it was infinitely better than the garbage SM is.
Maybe the real issue is that they got rid of the gyms and replaced it with something far worse.
>>32520782
How good are the doujins based on the Sun and Moon anime?
>>32520922
>with an inferior replacement for the next two years
woah, fuck off edgy faggot, SM is something for I had been waiting 20 years, finally some chillout
>>32520608
A more energized animation studio?
Because the new series actually looks fun. And not the same boring journey through a deciduous forest and hilly prairie for the 72nd time.
>>32521356
I'm not comparing it to other anime, I'm comparing it to the ashnime. And even by ashnime standards it's shit. Animation is all it had going for it, and it wasn't nearly consistent enough to make up for its other problems.
>>32521378
Meh
Game ones are better.
All anime is bad.
Seriously XY anime was the worst thing who ever happend to this fandom.
SM is better in all ways.
>More girls

>>32521429
Now it's just the same boring school SOL set on the same island.I agree the show is more fun to look at though
>>32521114
>X&Y
>good
pick one
>>32522855
>Edgy things in the trash
>Gladion next episode
>Gladion
So you admit SM is trash, then. Besides, nothing comes to Paul and Gary in terms of rival characters.
>>32524463
Gladion isn't edgy he's clearly a chuuni.
>>32520952
XY is the worst "style over substance" product that ever existed even for Pokemon standards. If you ever think that such dogshit camara movement that made battles barely recognizable, horrible CGI or your ""fancy"" magic sparkles were a good animation, then let me tell you that you're utterly retarded.
Pokemon never had a good storyline. No matter how many "weaboo shonen" treatments it wanted to get.
>>32522855
The style of the show is top notch and makes me feel like I'm watching the original. Totally comfy and gets me in the mood for summer.
>>32524636
I always think of this whenever someone posts this picture
>>32522855
>More girls
More screentime to be shared so the one you really like will never get enough focus.
>Best animation
Worst animation with its terrible gag faces and shadowless style, it looks like Medabots from early 2000's.
>Comfy as fuck
Nope, this meme gets parroted all the time because the region is based on a common vacation destination.
>Better and more fluid script.
It's fluid in having nonstop filler episodes, nothing interesting has happened so far.
>Edgy things in the trash.
Making it too peaceful is just boring.
>Magical girl evolution
Who will only get occasional screentime when Team Rocket has to be defeated.
>A nigger with a good backstory and overall a pretty solid character.
Let's not even start why these characters don't belong in the show.
>Gladion in the next episode.
Was about time.
>No Cotd
This is one I like.
>Episode 21
Terrible filler.
>The best team rocket since OS
The only thing good about it is that they don't appear every episode. TR lost its soul after OS.
>Ash now isn't a robot
He was what a man should aim to be, this SM Ash is just regression and does not represent what a 10 year old is.
>Best characterization of the creatures
That one goes to DP.
>>32525788
How can you say episdoe 21 is filler when it directly leads into ash catching litten?
>>32521114
how's that ending doing for you, x&yFags
>>32527760
Pretty good actually.
>>32521114
XY had a metric fuckton of filler you retarded fuck
Most of SM's episodes at least have something happen that's important to later episodes to keep them from being pure filler
>>32528485
The entire show is filler.
>>32528485
That's not really true. On average the first 25 eps of SM have the same amount of filler as the first eps of XY
>>32521114
What the hell even is a filler in this context
The anime pretty much just borrows character designs and does its own thing, it can't really have "filler" in the same sense that an anime adapted from a manga like Naruto/Bleach/One Piece can.

>>32528622
People think it just means when an overarching story fails to move forward.
Which is funny. There are cases, like Saint Saiya's Asgard arc, which are actually filler exclusive to the anime but have an overarching story regardless.
XY was great. I can recognize the flaws of Serena having no character or goal for a good chunk of the show and Ash's other pokemon eventually getting sidelined for Greninja but it was still hype and generally fun to watch. SM is just boring.
>>32522855
Yeah? Tell that to the rating nosedive.

>>32531361
It means that there is finally some story progress.
>>32520601
I for one like SM's animation, it's simple and appealing just like a kid's show should be.
>>32531381
XY was also a teenager/adult commercial.
>>32536227
