I got hype as fuck when the XY Gym Battle music kicked in.

When Ash commanded Rowlet and Rockruff to fly towards the Continental Crush thought he was going to do what he did against Olympia by using the Z-Move against Lycanroc and Probass similar to how he used Future Sight against the Meowstic duo.

With him flying up I thought he was going to lead it towards Probopass.
>>
Rockruff will evolve into a Midday form. All this shit started just because some dataminer shit said "oops there is a data for Lycanroc omg 3rd Lycan confirmed!!1". This Green Flash means absolutely nothing. It's like overreacting on Rainbow or some shit.

How has the new Lycanroc NOT leaked yet in any way shape or form? This is pretty unprecedented for the franchise, at least in its later years. What happened to "new Shaymin forme leaked on a fucking cup"?

Tighter security, or new Lycanroc is the only really new thing USUM has along with Solgaleo/Lunala if the Global Link placeholders are to be believed

Selene/Mizuki isn't in anime canon so she is off-topic in /padt/, sweetie.

Because there is no new Lycanroc.
It's Pokemon Fans with their expectation shit all over again.

The Olivia fight was underwhelming for being a kahuna battle and the lack of accelrock was disappointing. The final 1v1 battle was pretty good though but ash just dodging the z move the way he did was anticlimactic. At least we finally get to see type:null but I really hope there isn't a 3rd form revealed in the anime just because how obnoxious some posters in these threads would become. Overall the episode was a solid 7/10

I want ALL the shipping garbage to leave these threads,Serena isn't relevant anymore so amour shit should stay in the amour general.

She runs away over a small thing, it's going to end up being another Goodybe, Sophocles episode.

>So is SM getting good now?
No, skipped almost every noteworthy thing that happens on Akala and back to Melemele for Pokemon School.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, had XY not come out before SM everyone would be praising the fights like crazy.

XY spoiled everyone, now that we don't get massive budget blowing battles the XY babies just bitch and moan about the quality of the fights not being similar to XY even though the fights in SM are better then 5 past generations fight scenes.

But nearly Ash's entire team but Rowlet got special treatment.

Litten and pikachu got the whole mele mele arc.

Rowlet is getting his focused episode next Thursday.

But why do they seem to be saving Rowlet's focused episode this long. What exactly are they planing with him.

Pikachu got the whole, battle tapu koko And a bonding with ash in episode 20.

Litten got a foreshadow of his capture. And like all the fire pokemons ash catches, a tragic back story to go with it. But unlike the other fire pokemons litten's tragedy involved death and the lost of a well knon character.

Rockruffs focus started when gladion came along. They emphasized how much rockruff wants to get stronger, and evolution is his gole. And then we get to the up coming episode, where rockruffs dream finally becomes a reality. And for a bonus, he might even get a surprise new form never seen before by the audience.

And Rowlet, ...nothing.
My hypothesis is that what ever they're saving for Rowlet, must be more important then all the things mentioned up there.

Because it makes the Kahuna or trainenr using it come off as underwhelming. It's basically them wasting their strongest attack. They could have had it miss but still do something against Ash and his Pokemon. What makes it worse is that it seems like every time a Kahuna uses their Z-Move against Ash, it does nothing to him, and he counters back with a Z-Move he barely practiced.

And seriously, that fuckhuge rock dropping and not leaving no kind of small pebbles or debris? That's too silly even for the anime.

But that doesn't really develop Rowlet's character as a hole. It doesn't really make Rowlet the focus now does it.

Unlike.

>Or having emotional problems controlling yourself from the battle just because your close to evolve. And potentially getting a new form compared to regular evolution.

That kinda focus, Rowlet hasn't gotten that kind of stuff yet.

You know what else I didn't like about this episode, Kahuna battles, and SM as a whole?

There are no battle instructors. Those qt characters who would stand in the middle and referee the battles. Instead, Kukui is delegated to doing it. Why? What if Kukui wasn't there? Who would be there to confirm the official battles?
>>
>>33195391
Because Kukui is Masked Roayl, who is probably going to be sort of a Champion or Champion-tier battler in this Series.

Ash is not going to win the Pokémon League and does not take the first step to become in Pokémon Master why:
Bad/rare animation/design in SM
Has 2 starters (Rowlet&Litten) w/. cheats/hacks (remember to Unova)
He unfairly gets Z-Ring and Crystal Z (Electrium Z) by Tapu koko, without doing anything brave and important, also he breaks the Crystal Z without doing the official initiation ceremony.
Shit-School, classmates, fillers & a lot of forced comedy
4 trial captains = 4 gym leaders, girl with book mind and Pokémon homophobic: Fulfilling the role of Ash's babysitters
He did not have an official challenge against Llima
He put aside his aspirations and goals for something that as the school (Spin-off)

Alola League (Realistic prediction)
Gladion VS Eventual (Cameron's Brother) = Eventual wins (Alola Champion). Holy Shit!
Ash VS Gladion = Gladion wins (Top 2)
Ash VS. Rival = Ash wins (Top 4)

>XY spoiled everyone, now that we don't get massive budget blowing battles
What? The battles in XY weren't that well animated. Heck sometimes the 3D background had more movement than the pokémon battling.
Also the battle against Wulfric reused more animation than dragon ball super.
>>
>>33195277
That's a retarded argument and you know it. You can't just defend SM with a what if scenario like that, the fact is the fights aren't as good as the previous series which is objectively a bad thing, we should always be improving not taking steps back. Yes SM did take steps forward in other things and I'm willing to praise it for that, but the battles are still worse.

Also as someone else said I also think DP had better battles so yeah it's not just XY.

Wulfric battle was just a massive cop-out. Ash simply could not answer against that cheese move in the first battle. I would rather he did repeat that battle and find a way than to simply change the match-up and turned it into an all-out brawl instead.

Ash in S/M series is competent , however the problem is that there is no league in Alola for him.
The only reason people hold on to pokeani because they want Ash to win a league.
They won't except anything new until Ash wins a real official league and start competing in champion league.
Therefore S/M series will always remain a filler series.
If Ash won the kalos league then nobody would have problem with Alola having no league.
But Worthless pig like Yajima blow it for Alain since he doesn't have to direct S/M series and deal with all the problem in S/M series.

>>
>>33199284
>since Ash does have a league to enter then its just filler since he doesn't win
With that logic every series so far has been filler since Ash hasn't won a League yet.

We also don't know what USM has to offer the series. A league CAN be built/started in the anime, we just don't know if anything of that nature is going to happen. Ashs goal in SM is to graduate, collect Z-Crystals, and fight the Kahunas. With how Ash is progressing through the region in his battles and training, gaining the attention of both Tapu Koko and Tapu Lele, we're probably looking at a Battle Frontier type ending to the series. With Ash being offered role as Island/Alola Champion since he's impressed the Kahunas, people of Alola, and has the Guardians blessings. But Ash being Ash turns them down saying how he wants to keep travelling and learning, and to become a Champion the proper way by winning a League, the Elite Four, and eventually the Champions League.

SM feels like a direct continuation of SM but with Ashs character more expressive and fun rather then the serious mature Ash we saw in XY, which is actually better given how he's competent in battle but also able to give us moments like we saw in yesterdays battle with how he cheered up Rockruff.

People who continually hate SM are XYbabies who want the high octane fights and "mature" feeling to the series and can't accept that SM is not that kind of show. You'd think after a year people would stop bitching about the art style, but I guess we can't be that lucky.

>>33199583
XY gave us Mega Volt. which while the same as Volt was an updated version of it as well as entirely new visuals.

Mezase is likely going to continue on being the OP of SM, but with the movie footage and the Totems/Olivia fights being replaced once the movie promotion ends.

I'm sorry to inform you that Mega Volt is to be considered as the second opening. And it was used starting from XY029.

Volt and Mega Volt are the same openings, just different versions. Just like "Be an Arrow!", which has a normal version and N's version.

new op will start with USM series.

Why are shippings so retarded?
>>
>>33199669
Because they can't figure out after all this time that Ash will always leave his companions to go to a new region and will never have romantic feelings for them, also some like to think that when the show ends it will show Ash getting with whoever they ship which is stupid for multiple reasons.

The source is my ass, but its the logical course to take for the opening.

Alola episodes 1-29, Mezase episodes 30-USM series change. In that time we get updated visuals for the opening, and a proper new opening for November when USM releases and new information on the future of SM gets out.

Mezase is OP2 of the series.

>>33199651
But that's wrong, in the past we've had like 6 different versions of Mezase Pokemon Master, are you telling me that they're all the same opening just different versions spread across multiple series?

Mezase is the 2nd opening of SM, we'll get a 3rd when the next arc/segment of SM begins.

Volt/Mega Volt are different openings, they're the same songs remixed but they signify the start of a new arc/chapter of the series. An OP change, even if to a remixed version of the previous OP, is essentially the ending of a cour in Pokemon.
>>
>>33199582
>With that logic every series so far has been filler since Ash hasn't won a League yet.

Every other series already had an official league.

Even if Alola build a new league and Ash wins that, it will be less then achievement and more of a consolation prize.

Specially since the strongest trainer in Alola are kahuna and they are barely at Gym-leader level

Ya, Writer could bring Alain and make him lose to Ash in Alola but they will never dare to do that because their precious Alain must remain unbeatable.

If Alain was the protagonist when Director would created 10 more pokemon series without him ever losing.
>>
I just hope that USM introduces new Trials/Kahunas so Ash won't spend 30 episodes in Mememele before going to Ulaula for 5 episodes.

Those are just oversmart jackass that trying make themselves look special and unique.

They barely say anything about how Alain never had to lose when he deserved too.
Yet they complain about Ash being op despite him losing to Team Rocket and Lillies Butler.
>>
>>33199820
>losing to Team Rocket
never happened
>>
>>33199820
>despite him losing to Team Rocket and Lillies Butler

Pikachu and Rowlet didn't faint, that means Ash didn't lose. Plus, it was Rowlet's first battle against Butler's Oricorio.
>>
Do you want Ash to lose a lot or win a lot?
>>
>>33199833
I personally want him to win. And lose only for a good reason. I'm happy that SM didn't do whole "Ash loses to gym leader in the beginning" what AG, BW, and XY did.
>>
>>33199833
I want him to be a character I can get excited and hyped for when he battles.
>>
>>33199829

Rowlet clearly fainted since his eye was swilling.
>>
>>33199793
If Alan was the protaganist, we wouldn't even be here right now. Alan steam rolled 8 gyms in the time it took Ash to acquire 1. Watching Mega Charizard 1 shot ever single gym leader for 20 years for him to win 6 Leagues with that single Charizard would suck.

The series would have ended with Alan winning a League.

Kukui is still the wildcard in SM since we don't know his past. If he used to be a trainer like in the games, reached Lance like his backstory said, then Kukui is essentially a Champion tier Trainer if he made it past the E4 to Lance.

Ash VS Kukui is likely going to happen towards the end of the entire SM series. It's similar to Ash VS Clemont, a match that is lined up for the future we just have to wait until that point. Ash and his battle was delayed/put on hold to deal with Tapu Koko, its unfinished. Kukui is likely going to be Ashs final Kahuna/Gym Leader like Trainer to become Island Champion.

Especially if we see the pre-SM rules for the Trials, which had the challenge face all 4 Kahunas back to back to become Island Champion.

If Ash fights them back to back towards the end of SM then after defeating them all Kukui asks Ash to battle, it would essentially be Ash taking on a proper Elite Four.
>>
>>33199847
The problem is that they've never established that fight as something to look forward to.

When.

>>33199847
Nah, it will probably go like this:
>Ash finishes the trials and the 7-episode aether arc ends
>Kukui says that his final test to graduate school will be battling against him
>Ash loses, but the test wasn't to win the battle, but to learn or prove some feelgood crap
>Kukui proclaims that he has graduated Pokemon school
>SM ends
And there, we have another summer Mickey Mouse cup (or diploma, in this case) for Ash.
>>
>>33199877
>graduating a school that isn't specifically about battling requires winning a battle
>trials have something to do with the school
>Ash is the only student
Do you even watch this show?
>>
>>33199854
That'll hopefully happen in the future. Kukui's past hasn't come up in the series yet.

It'd be dumb for in the 2nd episode for Kukui to be like, "Hey Ash! Lets fight! Oh btw I beat a Pokemon League and reached the Champion of the Kanto Elite Four back when I was a trainer." Ashs battling skill and style wasn't known to any of the characters in Alola at that point. a key point over the course of SM so far is just how ridiculous Ash is when it comes to Pokemon. The Kahunas acknowledge his skill and strength, having to go all out against Ash because he's a skilled trainer. the Tapu's have an interest in Ash, where it's leading we can't be sure but its there. Characters have stated that Ash must be an interesting kid to have the Tapus attention.

Yesterdays episode had everyone say that Ash was lucky that Continental Crush took out Stealth Rock, only Kaki corrected them and said it wasn't luck but what Ash planned for to happen.

Ash is again and again surprising everyone with what he can do and what he will do for his Pokemon. There's a scene that happened in yesterdays episode, with Lillie not understanding what Ash meant when he said "I'll fight together with you" to Rockruff, I guarantee that will be referenced in the future at some point.

At some point Kukui will bring up fighting Ash, or that he used to be a Trainer himself, and that's when we'll get our first real "Oh yeah, Ash and Kukui haven't battled yet" moment which will set the stage for the future. They don't want to do it right away since how slow paced SM is. They've been building towards something with all of these characters, and so far its better written then quite a bit of XY/DP.
>>
>>33199847

That doesn't change that fact Alain got everything for free while Ash paying consequence for Alain's mistake.

If Writer want Ash to lose then they must drag their Alain and make him lose to Ash.
If they still too chicken to do that then they better keep ash unbeatable forever since Alain will forever remain unbeatable.


>Kukui is essentially a Champion tier Trainer

Kukai was never mentioned to be a champion level trainer Specially since game Kukai is different from Anime Kukai.
Just like Olivia and Hala are not E4 tier trainer in Anime, They are just gym-leader level trainer.
Not to mention, Kukai was never a champion level trainer in the game since he failed to conquer the indigo Platou.
He only challenge you in the game because he was the founder of the Alola league.

Game and Anime are different,
there is no champion league in the game, it is exclusive to anime.
Alola doesn't not even have a regional league in anime, forget about champion league

It would be much better if Ash meet Ultra beat already.
Then he join Looker group to investigate Ultra beast and stop them.
He also meets Lookers new assistant who is much more serious and intelligent girl compare to Ash.
She and Ash often argue and fight with one another but manage to work together to stop various ultra beast.

We'll see if kukui has any importance to the story by the next island if molayne shows up to set up everything about his past but seeing as how akkala has skipped both showing Burnett and masked royale I really doubt things will go that way
>>
>>33199949
Dream scenario? Everything I stated has happened aside from that final paragraph and final line of the 2nd last paragraph.

Ash and Kukui will fight at some point, but whether or not Kukui used to be a trainer is still unknown. We really don't know anything about him aside from the fact that he researches attacks and teaches at Pokemon school.

The moment Ash VS Kukui in episode 2 was taken away from us laid the foundation for an eventual fight between the two to take place. More then likely in a moment where Ash needs to do some intense training or to use it as a book ends to the series.

>thinking DP was well written
Boy, I loved watching FemAsh in DP with a bland personality to match do her boring contests and be nothing buy Ashs cheerleader for the series, not to mention Brock have 0 personality or reason to be in the DP aside from being the cook.

They things that DP did right were minimal. Ash and Paul as rivals were done well. Ash and Infernape were done well. The League end was not, XY despite its unpopular focus was miles better then the DP ending. The Pokemon in DP that were not Ash or Pauls were generally bland and boring without personality.

SM has given the Pokemon and people distinctive personalities and goals, as well as lightly teasing the future of things to come. Everyone thought Ash during Rockruffs training with his but in the air was dumb and saying things like "this is what Ash has become" but the thing no one expected to be referenced came into play at an important moment and changed the outcome of an episode for the better.
