What did we do to deserve this?
>>32940907
It gets worse. If this happens at this time again tomorrow it's going to interrupt the eggs stream. Tiefu's return is going to get fucked.
>>32940928
Oh well we can made another thread quickly after the raid.
>>32941058
Why is she so cute?
>>32941094Because she is in love.
>>32941094
Because she'sin love
>>32941111

>tfw had to make this again: >>32940901
Though I think this will be the last remake for now, after that we can just wait until a couple weeks.

Wew

>AmourShitter
>Implying I care for shipping
I've never liked it because it was pointless and lead to nothing, but Serena is adorable. She's like a daughter who has a crush on someone who I'm cheering on from the sidelines.
Lillie is cute in that regard too, like daughter who's afraid of Dogs so you get a really smol pupper for her to get used to over time.
>>32941185
Then she exhibits fear around a bigger pupper, bigger pupper attacks her, her pupper attacks the bigger pupper, bigger pupper has to be shot, but her pupper has already been mortally wounded, Lillie is even more scared of dogs than she was when you started
It's gonna happen and you're gonna like it
>>32941205
Yes, but me first
>>32941215
Please step on my face
>>32941217
I know someone more fitted for this job
>>32941185
>never liked it
>somehow find Serena's crush on Ash adorable
What?
>>32941253
Even better. Please step on my face!
Find a flaw.
>>32941260
It's like watching a QT daughter have an adorably obvious crush on a guy.
I don't care much for the pairing itself, Ash could stick his dick in anyone and it wouldn't matter to me, I just find Serena an adorable character to watch. I want to give her headpats.
>>32941277
no fingernails
THIS IS YOUR LAST WARMING /padt/ HAND OVER DA ASH OR ELSE!
>>32941264
Sadly the time hasn't come yet, you must wait my dear comrade!
>>32941301
Here you go.
>>32941332
I beg you, Tsareena! Put me in my place like the lowly, pathetic worm I am!
>>32941334
the hatesex would be amazing between these rivals.
>>32940928
Someone might want to shoop a bloody knife into Nozomi's hand in a suitable screenshot of her.
>>32941334
>>32941277
Literally who's.
>>32941372
Autism.
>>32940907
Nothing that Nozomi's noble sacrifice can't overco—
Well fuck.
>>32941395
>i-i hate your opinion, so i'm just going to say that it's autistic! ha!
Soon
>>32941111
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>32941424
Cute fanart but I doubt mallow will get any focus on that episode
>>32941301
Here you go
How would you have felt if the dub had edited the final score of Cal vs Nene vs Jessie so this was the outcome?
Newtype is out, episode titles incoming
>>32941956
good
>>32941810
oh, calposter...
it's based on the performance
she wasn't better than nene
you must deal with it
>>32941956
I want to believe
>>32941992
I wouldn't have any issue if Nene wasn't so damned ugly.
>>32942001
NO
>>32941956
oh shit
>>32942001
I WANT BRIONNE TO STEP ON MY FACE
>>32940928
Threads survive as long as they're active.
>>32941956
>>32941956
So what are you guys expecting? The grass trial, Gladion, Hapu?
>>32942116
Niggress episode
Litten evolving into a fat cade
Fatfuck episode
Filler
Vs womanchild
This is what's coming
>>32942116
kinda, and Royal Mask episode
>>32942116
Wait why hapu? Wouldn't it make sense for her to appear in the very last island
We have two new titles.
>July 27th: SM35 - A Curry-zy Beautiful Battle! The Dance of Rarantes!!
>August 3rd: SM36 - Lychee's Grand Trial! The Hardest Pokémon Match Ever!!
>>32942161
She appear first at Akala in the game
>>32942165
Here we go!
>>32942165
So we're gonna be done with Akala faster than I thought we'd last huh
Guzma fucking when.
>>32942165
>all 4 trials across 4 episodes
>then back to Melemele for more filler
>>32942184
Soon.
>>32942184
In Ula-Ula
Whenever that is
>>32942179
Gotta get back to school and wait 5 months before the next trial
>>32942193
I never understood why did they put the whole school concept in the first place, it's really stupid.
>Akala end at SM36
>When Akala should have started at episode 13 and finish at 36 ~~ with a normal anime pacing
They can't keep getting away with it!
>>32942200
Maybe because Alola doesn't have gyms? So they had to think of something new?
>>32942165
Hardest... hahaha I get the joke funny funny.
>>32942211
no it's literally the same for them, they even have more principal battles (11 instead of 8) to focus more pokemon
>>32942165
>hardest
MATSUI
>>32942200
To make the unwary believe that their fillers aren't actually "fillers".
>>32942192
Ula-Ula when?
>>32942229
Probably in October, maybe September at the absolute earliest.
>>32942233
Scratch that, more like November or early December.
>>32942165
So each one of the starters is gonna do a trial and Rockruff will do the match against Olivia, right?
>>32942229
SM37 obviously
>>32942237
No because Pikachu is the one battling Lycanroc
There rushing it hard
July 20th: SM34 - A Fire Battle! Garagara Shows Up!!
>Satoshi and his friends are participating in a festival held at Akala Island. An event taking place during the festival that involves placing a crown called the Wela Crown on Pokémon's heads has drawn the attention of lots of attendants. Apparently the legend has it that the crown has the power to make Pokémon stronger, and Satoshi and his friends are impatient to receive this blessing as well. But then the "Bone Keeper Pokémon" Garagara shows up and steals the crown.

July 27th: SM35 - A Curry-zy Beautiful Battle! The Dance of Rarantes!!
>As part of an extracurricular lesson, Satoshi and the others are made to gather the ingredients for Alola Curry, a traditional Akalan dish. They immediately join up with Mao and start searching for the ingredients, but the task turns out to be less than easy when they encounter an herds of Digda and Karikiri during their search.

August 3rd: SM36 - Lychee's Grand Trial! The Hardest Pokémon Match Ever!!
>Satoshi has finally become able to challenge the Grand Trial of Lychee, Island Queen of Akala Island. He challenges her to a double battle, bringing Mokuroh and iwanko with him, but Lychee just toys around with him using her "Rock Pokémon" Lugarugan, which possesses overwhelming speed and uses tricky tactics.

Marorak

Grand trail
In 3 straight episodes lol
>>32942291
Gotta get back to Melemele fast so they can resume the filler.
>>32942282
>Mokuroh
HAPPENING
>>32942302
wrong
>>32942307I hope too, fuck midday
>>32942282
What pokemon is karikiri?
>>32942319
Fomantis
Google is your friend
>>32942282
Anyone else hoping Rockruff evolves here? This episode airs in August and we are getting USM news soon
>implying ash will beat olivia in his first try
>>32942332
Lycanroc Edge form pls.
>>32942342
>mfw it will go like this:
Ash loses to Olivia, then some fillers, Rockruff evolves, finally Ash wins the rematch with Olivia
Insider info on other titles:
>SM 36 - Farewell, Akala Island! Melemele, Hello Again!!
>SM 37 - Oak's Pun Festival!
>>32942332
There is actually chances that what we found about the Lycanroc placeholder was actually for a USM Totem...
But I expect them to do a night/day for sun/moon difference, so maybe not since there was was only one.
>>32942349
>pun festival
>>32942349
seems legit
>>32942349
>SM38: Serena returns!? /padt/ stops bitching about stuff!!
SM pacing:
Intro eps - Melemele Trials meshed together - intro eps - filler eps - Akala Trials meshed together - return to Melemele - fillers - Ulaula trials meshed together - fillers - Poni trials - Aether stuff - league - end
>>32942380
>league
Pffft
>>32942342
I don't expect them to redo a double battle, it's already hard enough to animate.
The lose will most likely happen at Nanu/Hapu.
>>32942380
>Aether
Pffft.
>>32942390
Kukui just has to say something like "Hey Satoshi, the first Alola league ever will take place soon, want to take part in it?" and then we can see Ash losing for the seventh time straight.
>>32942402
Well, not a lot of people want him to win this season anyway
>>32942282
>August 3rd: SM36 - Lychee's Grand Trial! The Hardest Pokémon Match Ever!!
>Screenplay 冨岡 淳広 (Atsuhiro Tomioka)
Good, that's what they need to do, the creative episodes for Omode, Matsui, Yonemura etc and give the battles to this man (well i think that Omode is good too).
>battle written by tomioka
Finally!
This is the first battle in SM to not be written by either matsui or omode
>>32942282
>Rowlet and Rockruff confirmed
>Cat pushed aside
BTFO
>>32942413
So obviously that means something big is going to happen
Maybe they are rushing stuff now because USUM is coming. They need to market USUM shit. I wonder how Ula'ula and Poni will be handled.
>>32942407
Omode did the Shota match in the league, didn't she?
>>32942416
Owlbros win again!
>>32942484
Ash will probably lose
>>32942485
They're rushing because we have POKEMON SKURU as setting and need to return to Melemele as soon as possible.
>>32942485
I remember the last time that happened...in BW. And don't forget the Switch games next year.
>>32942516
Which is why the school was a mistake.
>>32942484
Rockruff Evolution?
>>32942516
POKEMON SUKUURU SUKUURU SUKUURU!

>>32942508
Cue people using this as a reason to complain about Ash in SM more, well at least the clone comments stopped
>Mohawk is the Totem instead of Salazzle
BULLSHIT
>>32942282
I'm now fully expecting SM 35 to end with Lana, Kaki, and Mallow casually dropping that all 3 of them are captains. Surprising Ash with the knowledge that he's now able to battle Olivia.
I do think he will lose to Olivia, go train for an episode or two, then return to defeat her.
>>32942605
You're missing the point here barafig.
Kiawe is gonna do the fire trial and Mallow the grass one. The shit cat gets fuck all and that's good since it is the comedic relief shitsoamon
>>32942615
Maybe they're saving it for Plumeria, it's her ace after all.
>>32942615
It doesn't have the totem aura in the opening
It either becomes a totem thanks to the crown or salazzle is still the totem but she's irrelevant to the episode's plot
>>32942622
Go back to where you came from.
>>32942619
>I'm now fully expecting SM 35 to end with Lana, Kaki, and Mallow casually dropping that all 3 of them are captains
Sure anon
>>32942662
I hate jolteon
Piece of shit eeveelution will never be as cute as flareon or vaporeon
>Bulbapedo translates SM35 as "A Curry Battle" because Playerking and his Google Translate-fu can't recognize blatantly obvious puns
wew
>>32942622
k-k..
>>32942619
Prepare for disappointment.
>>32942679
Go back to your sperg threads
I hope he will lose to her so maybe we will get new rockruff evolution
>>32942683
k-k...
>>32942709
Are you implying we can't get it during the battle when he is about to lose?
It can be like Olympia with the awakening of the Battle Bond.
Where is he.
Where is my Rugby Monkey
>>32942759
but there's still no in game leak
if he have to get 3rd form...
>>32942776
probably soon, I want him get this shit, it's perfect for his team

Why no?

why would you not

>>32942861
Apparently you don't watch this """""filler""""" episode, anon.
>>32942852
how many chances he won't be evolving his pokemons again and stay a retard?
>thinking Ash will have a fully evolved team
XY spoiled you, didn't it?
>>32942928
be more realistic anon
>>32942926
65%
Lycanroc is a given, but only one between the owl and the cat will fully evolve. The rest of the team probably won't evolve either.
>>32942861
Because Ash will become a Villain later in the game
Gekkouga will come back and try to sinchro again but he can't, so he becomes Dark ash and threatens Alola
OnlySerenacan stop Dark ash
Are we getting another movie special today?
>>32942941
>in the anime
ftfy
>>32942918

Yeah, 3 hours from now.

Please anon, tell me more of you fanfiction
>>32942957
It's bw
BW!!!
>>32942957
this is bw era, at this moment we have 50% chances for golisopod to join the team
>sm has worse art and animation than bw
It's so sad
>>32942968
>>32942974
And SM is the new BW, so it fits.
>>32942965
I have nothing else.
>>32942977
>animation
don't be silly
>>32942968
shitty writing, retarded plot holes, stupid team resolving, shitty league...
>>32942981
you never watched sm, right?
>>32942926
I think only Rowlett doesn't get evolved just because it's the most popular from its lines and is a Piplup/Oshawott Status.
>>32942957
Remember the Riolu Episode from Diamond & Pearl?FUCK I'm still mad about that.
>>32942282
>but Lychee just toys around with him using her "Rock Pokémon" Lugarugan
It's over. Ash's gonna be hit with the reset button so hard he won't recover. Considering Tomioka writes the episode (with his focus being the drama), Ash being more impatient and emotional than before and Lychee winning without taking the match seriously, I think Ash will react very bad to this loss. I can expect him crying (either gag tears or serious tears), having a depression chapter and/or lashing out at his classmates with more violence than the time he lashed out at Misty in Indigo, Brock in Hoenn and Serena in Snowbelle.
>>32942673
>Browsing Bulbapedia forums
That's your mistake, anon.
>>32943006
That Riolu was established as having an owner from the start.
>>32942200
Focus tests showed kids like anime where the protagonist goes to school, just like them!
>>32943039
Unironically this
>that godawful pacing
muh dick
>>32943117
go away, ash
>>32943109
Gotta send kids back to their school.
>>32942165
>>32942282
So this is fake right?
RIGHT?!?!
>>32943192
Nope. Enjoy your 20 Melemele episodes of memefaces and slapstick lmao before the Ulaula arc.
>>32943192
No. Future plotline is roughly this:
SM37 - Rematch!
SM 38 - Back to Melemele!
SM39 - Ash's Everyday Life. Filler Episode №1!
SM75 - Ulaula Special Class!
>>32943202
Ula ula probably starts before USM.
Someone made a thread about the z rings. The black shown in the usm teaser can only found in ula ula
>>32943211
>implying they won't have a filler straight off the bat on Melemele
>>32943211
>rematch
Some more titles got revealed:
>SM37: Back to Melemele! Alola Oak's Pun Festival!!
>SM38: The Pun Festival Starts! Alola Oak VS Mamane!!
>SM39: Mamane in Trouble! Will he Win the Pun Competition?!
>SM40: Round Two of the Pun Festival Competition! Alola Oak is on Fire!!
>>32943250
I would believe it at this point.
So it is safe to say this gen will last only two years?
SM will get good soon r-right?
>>32943269
No, they're rushing Akala for USM additional content. After that they will pad this shit hardly with giant filler gaps so it can last 3 years.
>>32943294
Basically like XY
>>32943303
XYZ had very little filler, not that Z was ever released
>>32943322
Are you fucking blind?
>>32943244
>rematch
Summary states that it will be RockruffxRowlet vs Olivia while OP shows Pikachu battling her.
Ash will lose

Yeah right.
>>32943367
The OP shows a moment when Ash commands Pikachu then it moves to a scene with Olivia, it wasn't in the same frame so it doesn't necessarily mean it's the same battle, could be 2 scenes from 2 different episodes.
Also there's always the possiblity of Ash being allowed to switch Pokemon mid battle, I can see Rowlet losing early thanks to it's weakness to rock, and Pikachu jumps in to save the day.

>replying to yourself
>>32943418
>I can see Rowlet losing early thanks to it's weakness to rock, and Pikachu jumps in to save the day.
If it's just one double battle I can't see any switching if of course it's not Roxie/Grant bullshit where Ash can use full team to knock down 2 Olivia's mons.
>>32943416
it doesn't matter how many years it's going to be. USM soon and they need to showcse it. See - BW2 and Roxie being shoehorned in anime for no reason.

ok
>>Animation Director 大西 雅也 (Masaya Onishi)
WAIT WHAT THE FUCK?! Iwane where are you? Why they put this garbage animation director on a fucking important battle episode?
It all looked good but you can already tell this battle will be shitty and forgettable with this kind crappy animation team in charge.
(Onishi did Alola! The First Visiting Day!! and The Big Alola Pancake Race!. They looked like shit.)
>>32943250
Why didn't you post the rest?
>SM41: Find Togedemaru! Lost at the Pokemon School?!

Ash already has an Electrium-Z, so that makes the Electric Trial pointless. Only thing to do there is get the Steelium-Z that SM025 hinted at.
And TR already has a Mimikyu, so I don't see Totem Mimikyu's trial happening.
>>32943489
>(Onishi did Alola! The First Visiting Day!! and The Big Alola Pancake Race!. They looked like shit.)
Gave us Noa and Mama Suiren though
Why is SM so shit?
>>32943524
Art style and the shit load of fillers
Oh and the 'humor'
>>32943524
Because nobody is in love.
I love Satoshi.
>>32943489
Are you fucking retarded?? The pancake episode was wonderfully animated.
Fuck you and your shitty opinions.
Also this>>32943507
>Gave us Noa and Mama Suiren though
>>32943524
Really can't give you an answer to that one buddy. This saga had literally so much potential, even the base premise. It was destined to go to shit as soon as Ash lost the League. The premise could've been about Ash taking vacation after winning the Pokemon League, getting the well deserved rest he needed, and traveling the island, doing trials, to truly be recognized as a trainer befitting of the role as Champion. And then all the while, traveling with Lillie and helping her develop from her shitty childhood scars. Touching Pokemon and all.
I don't know who thought Ash going to school was a good idea. He's the only trainer in-universe to have traveled for so long and have receipts to back it up. He's been through what some veterans wouldn't even dream of. What the fuck was the point of putting him in school with a bunch of kids who literally have nothing but shitmons? A lot of them don't even have real battle experience. Putting Ash in the same class as someone who can't even touch Pokemon was a red flag.
SM was truly a mistake. No one could have foreseen this.
>>32943489
Should've had ohashi be the animation director desu
>>32943524
Matsui
>>32943610
>traveling with Serena and helping her develop from her shitty childhood crush
SM is shit because you can't really do good adaptation of game's plot in school setting.
They should've stick to travelling or write original plot.
>>32943610
>ash dont reset in other anime sagas
are all XY babies this retarded?
>>32943489
stop sucking iwane dick
>>32942585
Man, they did not worry about getting a good artist for this did they?
>>32943621
Matsui is new worst director
>>32943643
What did Ash resetting have to do with my post? Hell Ash didn't even reset in SM. Him and Pikachu have been kicking a lot of ass when they are actually battling.
If your point was Ash reset so hard that he had to go back to school to learn how to be git gud then SM is even worse than I thought
>>32943666
>Takamisaki

>>32943773
This thread is frequented by shitposter that will scream "retarded XYbabby" etc at anyone that voices the slightest bit of dissatisfaction with SM, anon. It's highly unlikely any of them actually watch the show.
>>32943788
Yeah, there's one guy who whines "the circlejerking XY fags have such a persecution complex" at anyone who disapproves of SM, regardless of whether the person said anything about XY.
I think he's also the brains behind the recent spate of Serena hate threads (not the ones with the literal shit though, I think that guy was the ESL Pearlfag and he hasn't been here in a few weeks now).
>>32943492
>>32943250
...
I have real leaks
SM37: Volcano emergency! Kiawe's and Garagara's spirit!
SM38: Kapu-Tetefu lunar dance! The hot night of good bye party!
SM39; Melemele island arrival! A team skull attack?!
SM40: Lilie's wants to be a trainer! Satoshi's a poke school teacher?!
So is this more hints SM will only be a 2 year generation? The writers probably fucked up and thought they would get 3 years as usual hence all the filler, and now that they realize they have to wrap everything up plus do an Ultra Beast/Lusamine arc, now they're rushing.
>>32943943
It more hints that they need to shill usm and move on from Akala to do that.
SM might be 3 years, but padded with fillers to max.
Lillie is lewd
>>32943943
No it means. That have to go to melemele for fillers until USM. Then go ula ula. Ula ula will different is usm I guess
>>32943983
can you tell me why anime studio can't cooperate with gf?
>>32943943
Fuck off Scott
>>32944003
They do cooperate with gf lol that's xyz was so rushed. To get sun and moon out. The communication should be much better though
Nintendo probably wants a mainline pokemon game on Switch in 2018.
>>32943524
In reality, probably because it's a kids' anime, and Japanese humor is pretty bad too.
Here, it's probably because Serena is absent.

>>32944167

>>32944167
>Realising it only now.
>>32944182
Tauros is coming back?
damn Serena is so hot in Pokemon X Y
>>32944188
Ash namedropped them in SM1
>>32944167
thanks god, pokemon anime was shit, now it's getting better
>>32944194
Tierno pls
>>32944125
Imagine Serena in Sun/Moon's style, making hideous meme faces. Even Nascar221 would probably drop her.
>>32944155
Hopefully Shoko focus this time.
>>32944167
>Tauros reference
>Delia returning
>Ashs T-Shirts
>Hawlucha reference
XY didn't have many references besides that Piplup one during the Golden Magikarp episode, but that was stated that they simply forgot to include call backs.
SM so far has been really good with that so far.
>>32944209
Literally who?
>implying people don't love the shit out of Lychee''s wackiness
>>32944215
I'll have to check it out then

Yamamoto!

May wig for TR shop.

>>32944430
Implying rural Alola even knows what is league.
>>32944430
t. Max
>>32944465well, my name is actually Max
>>32944494
>>32944420
The wigs were the best call back in recent memory. It came out of nowhere.
>>32944430
Same as be a soccer champion living in america, nobody care
>>32944571
>tfw a pokemon football team will never use you to clean their dirty, sweaty feet after a tiring match
They're rushing trials because SM main focus is slice of life in pokemon world and not action stuff.
So, even Akala trials even presented as everyday plots, like fishing, searching for food or local festival.
>>32944586
>this meme again
>>32944582
fuck off Bui
>>32944588
erp with me and i will
Why did they not name them Billy and Kid in the English dub? Seems to be more on-theme with the other Team Rocket dub names.
When will we get a USUM Subseries or OVA that picks up where XYZ left off and continues the shonen shit that was actually enjoyable?
>>32944587
He said it's slice of life, not "good slice of life". Or even a decent one.
>>32944606
It's not slice of life in any way, shape or form.
>>32944582
my dream
>>32944599
Because the dub is bad.
>>32944603
Remember Best Wishes 2?
