Good thing for me and too bad for you it's been confirmed Rowlet's gonna stay unevolved as the flying utility mon, huh?

Owlcucks forever BTFO.

>>33025842
Don't the flying utility mons always evolve, most of the time they are even the first to fully evolve, and yes Decidueye can still fly have you seen its Z-Move.

All of Ash's flying pokemon have evolved:

Charizard
Pidgeot
Noctowl
Swellow
Staraptor
Gliscor
Uzefant
Talonflame
Noviern

Rowlett is almost definitely going to fully evolve and we know how popular Decidueye is in general.

>>33025344
>Sounds like something that would happen
Lmao not in SM, SM is being rushed

>>33025863
It's been confirmed Rowlet is staying unevolved, dude, just stay assblasted over your stupid owl being unimportant to Game Freak. And it flies no where else, so I'm gonna roll with it flying being a resounding NOPE.

Go play Pokken or something if you're grumpy over it. You got your failed game's port, isn't that enough?

Lemme ask you where you have confirmed proof Rowlet's gonna evolve. I'm waiting.

>>33025915
Nope. Decidueye's walk-run animations are him on two feet too, he can't actually fly as a full evolution.

>Tapu Waifu watches Ashs Grand Trial
I really wonder where they're going to be taking this. If Ash gets the attention of all of the Tapu's you have to wonder what the pay off is going to be.

>they all acknowledge his strength allowing him to use their Z-Move
>Because they and the Kahuna's acknowledge him Ash gets offered role of Champion similar to Battle Frontier where he was offered to be a brain

Hopefully we'll see Tapu Lele appear in the episodes before the Grand Trial to build up its interest in Ash a little more. Tapu Koko was done really well with it's quirky personality, I'd like to learn more about how Lele differs from it.

>>33025863
Utility flier always evolve but are never the ace of the gen, and if you count z-move as a proof that Decidueye can fly, then that means Incineroar can summon a wrestling ring out of nowhere and do a 360 flip twice in mid air.

>>33025915
It can stay stationary in midair, but that's about it.

>>33025997
Not it can't cause Litten is only gonna evolve into Torracat. Stay mad.

That's bullshit and you know it.

>>33026035
Well besides the battle bond part, I do believe that Lycanroc will be the ace, I'm more arguing that because Decidueye is the flying utility mon it will fully evolve like the rest.

No, again, Litten is only gonna evolve into Torracat like it or you don't. Incineroar simply is unpopular and too hideous for kids.

>>33025982

there will come tobias out of nowhere and catch them all in the master balls, then ash will lose another league

>>33026063

Also this >>33025997

>>33026080
>ignores direct evidence and proof Ash's Litten will evolve into Incineroar

Owlcuck, shut the fuck up, you have no idea what you're speaking of.

>>33026055
And yet you harp on how it'll evolve without offering anything yourself.

I will never understand the owl needs to make it "the next Greninja". It's hilarious....

>>33026069

well, litten almost fucked pikachu so...

>>33026098
It's the truth though, heck many kids cried after they've seen it. And compared to literally ANYTHING else in Alola it is really unpopular. So sorry to disappoint you but Torracat is simply way cuter, more kid friendly and popular. Also faster. It's better off this way. Also no bara furfag art of it and Ash, another bonus point for that. :)

>>33026080
I meant the rest as in the other flying utility mons

>It's the truth though, heck many kids cried after they've seen it

and many were like "KAKOIII~!!!! TAIGA HIRO!!!" so your argument is shit like any of the owlcucks

>>33026115
Ash's Pikachu has the consistency of a Gainax production budget.

It got defeated by a Lv. 5 Snivy even though it was probably at a point where a Quick Attack should have one shot it.

>>33026122
See >>33026111. There's direct evidence it'll be Incineroar and direct evidence Rowlet will stay unevolved.

I know you're baiting because I called owlcucks out, but it's honestly pathetic how low you'll go by this point. Please have some dignity. Stop.

>>33026122
>heck many kids cried after they've seen it
Proof?
>compared to literally ANYTHING else in Alola it is really unpopular
It's a starter that isn't Emboar and Chesnaught, the fact that you don't like it doesn't make it unpopular.

Also yes, pre-evos are cuter, go figure.

>>33026152
Where is the evidence? Tell us what it is.

only reddit or vp posts

>>33026160
Yet you haven't given any either. Why should I be the one with burden of proof compared to owlcucks' insane claims?

>>33026162
Incineroar's had a healthy amount of attention sheerly through the movie, merch, and getting two signature moves in-game. Having an Incineroar in the anime is just gravy, if deliciously so, by this point.

Owlcucks keep sperging out over their "popular" starter not being omfg shilled everywhere though. Even this thread proves it.

>>33026152
>There's direct evidence it'll be Incineroar and direct evidence Rowlet will stay unevolved.

If you're talking about that production concept, that's not evidence. It's called concept for a reason. The anime is infamous for changing shit depending on how things are going depending on popularity.

See shitty Unova arc.

Heck, even see the Hoenn arc, the anime clearly wanted to not evolve Torchic until they saw how popular Blaziken was. Why do you think it took so long?

>>33026184
All flying utility mons have evolved their, but no I don't have proof I'm working with educated guesses so if you give me proof I will be automatically wrong, not like I can't be wrong already because as I said no proof just guesses at this point I can't read the future.

>>33026145
>>33026152
>>33026159
>>33026161
See >>33026171
and the fact that many of the official medias try to avoid ever mentioning it or even promoting it. It's simply fucking hideous, you cannot deny that. And only like 0.1% of all japs get the reference anyway, especially not kids.

>>33026184
>getting two signature moves in-game

Bull, Sneasel and Weavile can have Throat Chop as an egg move

Makotoposter will be happy

>>33026200
Oh if its thats probably game concept art that they decided to doodle Ash in for no particular reason I mean why would OLM make concept art for characters they aren't designing Game Freak is the one who thinks up the character designs, and if it is anime concept art that means all three starters will evolve because why make concept art for a character your not using.

>>33026219
You I like, you're honest and willing to admit things without knocking others down. I can accept this.

>>33026220
Meanwhile, this is an example of an "owlcuck", AKA the majority of the Decidueye fanbase: insecure in his choice of mons to like, needing to bash others, and flat-out denying reality. Pity him.

>and the fact that many of the official medias try to avoid ever mentioning it or even promoting it.

>>33026331

>>33026388
Pokemon isn't a romance anime and is in a continuous cycle where the companions are dropped for new ones that promote the newest games, meaning no Ash ship no matter how many hints it has in the anime or how canon it is will last longer than a gen, whether its Serena, Lillie, Lana, or anyone else.

>>33026409
And don't forget this:

>He stated that they like to switch up the girls because it gives the boys some new eye candy every once in a while. He also said girls are more customizable and you can change their outfits, like when they are in their bathing suits (yes, he specifically said that). He also said Ken Sugimori designs a new girl with each generation and that gives them another excuse to switch the girl, though I reminded him that there is also a new boy with each generation too, and it wouldn’t hurt to use them.

>>33026512
I might be wrong but aren't the flying utility mons always second fiddle to another mon to make them look better, unless its the rare case in which they are focused on in the episode, normally when they evolve.

Some people will never give up, won't they?

>Starter fags trying to cause starter wars in yet another ashnime thread in order to derail

What else is new.

>B-but Incineroar gets a LOT of attention in the newest movie! That means Ash will get one too!

So did fucking Chesnaught and Delphox in the XYZ movies in the hands of other trainers, what's your FUCKING point, Ash still got Greninja in the end.

This doesn't guarantee Rowlet evolving though, so get your minds out of the gutters. Even though I'm not thrilled over it, chances are, Rockruff gets another form. And even that might not be true. Everyone was talking about "muh alternative forms" for the starters' final evolutions, look how that turned out.

It is:
Pikachu
Rowlet
Torracat
Lycanroc
Oricorio
Hakamo-o

what's the likelihood of Ash losing to Olivia? serious question

>>33025759
It's just bland. You can probably correctly guess 99% of the dialogue and plot even if you had never seen more than a few episode of it. It's like a train on railroad tracks, constantly following every standard shounen trope and cliche. The action is good for Pokemon, but you see far more impressive action scenes in any random shounen manga/anime series. It's kinda like the stuff you want to see if you want to turn your brain off for the season.

>>33026647
The fact that the magazine's avoided spoiling it makes me think he will win.

>>33026658
>for Pokemon
Yeah, XY was great for Pokemon standards, nobody is saying it was great by common anime standards. Pokemon's standards are way lower.

>>33026647
This is just my personal opinion but I think it is like a 40% chance of him losing, most people point to the summaries say that hes having trouble against her but the Hala one said similar things. They also like to say how they don't see Rowlet and Rockruff being strong enough to beat her when similar situations have happened in the past and Ash has won.

Personally if I were you I wouldn't fully take my word for it theirs probably some bias in what I'm saying

>>33026705
I don't hate it. But I don't like it either.

>>33026705
No not really, but its your opinion so it probably has a good reason based off your own likes and dislikes.

>>33026705
It's fine for what it is.. a comedy series. But like most others here I'd rather watch other shows for that and want Pokemon to be more about action and battles.

>>33026331
She's also a compulsive liar who likes to fuck with people. But that's fine, since those traits are what makes her interesting.

>>33026705
Not enough to make the same post every other thread

>>33026735
It's pretty bad for a comedy series too.

>>33026735
It's pretty telling when even SMfags think SM21 was the best episode yet, since that's not a comedy episode in the slightest.

>>33026331
Lana is indeed one of the best characters we've had in the show for years. It probably helps that her type of personality was never really done on the cast before. We never had one of those quiet badass female characters before. She reminds me of Raven from Teen Titans.

>>33026814
The fact that it's a comedy series is partly what made the episode so good.

>>33026814
Well yeah just because we like an episode like this doesn't make the comedy bad it just means this was done better, I'm even cried a little first time seeing this and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

Just like gintama, where it's all bs until something sentimental happens and it becomes a fan favorite but fans still love the comedy. Not that I'm saying SM is as good as gintama but just a comparison of how it works.

>>33026647
It's 50/50 at this point.

If we look at patterns, which have become less relevant nowadays, Ash usually loses to the 1st or 2nd Gym Leader. Since Alola has no Gym Leaders and instead has Kahunas, Ash defeating Hala points us in the direction of him losing.

If Rowlet and Rockruff fight off Lurantis well and we see the "Carry" strategy at work against it, then maybe he can pull off a win. The added fact that Tapu Lele is watching the battle in only her 2nd appearance (as far as we're aware since we don't know if she appears in the next two trial battles) also SEEMS to point to Ash winning if it's to make her more interested in him. But her appearance could also be pointing towards a loss since she's seen to be a kind Pokemon, if Ash forfeits or loses and shows that he cares about his Pokemons well being then we could possibly see her challenge Ash to teach him something that could help him defeat Olivia.

Rockruff will be the deciding factor in this battle. It looks as if its going to stop heeding Ashs advice and instead get caught up in wanting to defeat Lycanroc, that would be a good reason for Ash to lose as well as giving him and Rockruff a chance to develop their bond/evolve for the rematch.

I do hope that it manages to defeat Lycanroc in it's rematch should it get one, as a Rockruff then evolving post battle.

>>33025282
Nice theory,
Now here comes the truth.

Melemele: pikachu and litten focus.

Akala: rockruff and possibly that whimpod focus.

Ula Ula: dartrix focus.

Poni island: data not found.


Ultrabeast arc: Decidueye and lycanroc focus.

>>33027393
Considering that nearly all the Akala Trials are done and not a hint of Wimpod I doubt it.

Who here thinks that Alola will have a league like in the game?

>>33027404
It's not too late for Wimpod to make a late appearance if Ash does lose to Olivia and has to do an episode or two of training

>>33027515

Sometimes Boris is all right.

>>33027703
People said that about DP too before it.

I think there's just people out there who don't like the anime when it has competent Ash or more of a shonen feel to it. Both DP and XY were very similar in that regard. That's why these OS fans prefer BW and SM.

>>33027705
They're the anti-XY squad, anon.

>>33027703
Agreed. XY and especially XYZ felt like some fanfiction shit of an edgy 16 years old teenager.

SM feels more friendly towards the main audience.

>OS fans prefer BW and SM.
Ha

>>33027709
No, they didn't.

DP was a good mix of good story. Unline XYZ it's not that "edgy mature" level. It basically an ideal season if you're a reckless kid. SM is ideal for those who want a more relaxed tone with some humour, which is not fucking bad you retarded shoenfags.

>>33027767
Discussing lewds in passing has always been okay.

>>33027779
It's exactly the same. Look at the way Ash acted when he lost to Paul in their first 6 on 6. He acted the same way he did when Ash Greninja abandoned him and Serena had to throw snowballs at him. Back in DP he acted emo the same way and Dawn put on a cheerleading show to cheer him up.

Probably I mean I used to like her as a character but she and her Pokemon don't seem to do anything interesting and her only episode was kind of boring and ended in what I felt was an anti-climatic evolution, honestly I'm pretty sure shes equal to Sophocles to me at this point.

>>33028372
Mallow is there for sex appeal nothing more

>>33028372
Fatfuck is actively annoying, she's actively fun. Yeah, it'd be nice if she did more, and her only focus episode so far wasn't very good, but she's a much better character than he is.

>>33028370
I don't think it'd hurt to use "Nice to Rotomeet you" from time to time, like when he's says his catchphrase in the evening.

>>33028388
It's been changed a few times when "Good Rotomorning" just plain does not work (like in SM22), but the point of catchphrases is to keep them the same.

Probably, the OP is ultra clogged nowadays.

>>33028401
All right, we'll give it a try if nobody objects, then.

Getting a new bred ready since we need to put the Oracion rip link in there.

>>33028372
Mallow is a decent character with not enough usage. Sophocles is a shit character with too much usage.

The main group should've been Satoshi, Mao, Suiren, Hoshi and Lychee.

You can not object to this.

If fatfuck was a cute girl would you like him?

>>33028432
Probably not. But his personality is essential "is fat", so you can't really give it to a cute girl.

>>33028427
Sounds perfect

Let's give this >>33028364 a try

I kinda missed the punny titles, sure some of them were corny but they were fun to hear growing up.
