Kinda lame ngl
Ash x Serena
ENTER
Ash x Dawn
I watched this episode, why is this anime so crudely drawn now?
Tic toc, /padt/
>>50436938It should be hype af, but since it's PM we know all battles will suck and Ash's victories will be unearned
>>50436929Ash vs. Leon will obviously be 6 on 6 so Ash can use his full JN team, and being the final fight of the series.Cynthia will probably be the semi-finals so I can see having two 6 on 6's to match XY and most series prior.
>>50436977Ash is going against Leon in round 1 anon...
>>50436942cute
>>50436938Cynthia the Smug Queen
>>50436938I wonder what the matchups will looks like. I suspect Cynthia will job to Leon first.
>>50436920Nia!
Ash and Iris doing absolutely nothing.
Ash and Alan will battle, and with greninja. Lucario's Aura Sphere is literally aimed at Leon in the opening, I have no idea how people spin this into thinking it's for Alan.
>>50436938Can't believe Ash is about to fight multiple Champions, and the best I can muster up is 'huh...okay I guess'.
>>50436920is that a boy or a girl?
No reserves, no problem. Ash is gonna solo the entire M8 with his newest team
>>50437054
>>50436920i hate how journeys gives the best designs to character we'll see like twice
>>50437030another edgy brat with a Weavile
Why do people think Greninja's scene being removed from the op means anything? You guys do realize we'll eventually see Bonnie/clemont, Lisia/Wallace, etc. all likely replaced eventually? Most likely after Paul's ep airs.
>>50437069cute
>50437089Greninja's frames were literally replaced by Ash-Lucario sphere, I think the implication of that is super obvious.People will have a hard time to accept but they literally just used Greninja to power up Lucario, they won't use it to overshadow it.
>>50437089The frog removal is meaningful. They could have replaced Lisia who's basically a glorified COTD. But they chose the frog who they all know is popular. It's unironically over for frogfags.
>>50437063> 'I-IT'S OKAY IF HE DOESN'T USE RESERVES, GUYS!'> he said as he posted an image of DP Ash, who used reserves throughout the Sinnoh League
>>50436823>>50436839This unironically makes sense.Like goku and chi chi relationship.
>>50437115Because the training ep was done. The Aura Sphere is aimed at Leon of all things.I don't know why they didn't get rid of the Bonnie/Clemont or Lisia scenes yet but I guess they're waiting till all the old character cameos air. There's still Paul and the Alola eps.
>>50437089IGNOREDRETCONNEDREMOVED
I wouldn't mind no reserves if his PM team were as lively and full of personality as his XY and SM teams. But they are all so bland.
>>50437071What do you mean those are Goh's new traveling companions
Reminder that we WILL see them together again as they join up to watch Serena win the Contest Lives finals.
>>50436942>>50437123She's too big for him.
>>50437157I would still mind 'no reserves', but it'd sting less. Hard to feel anything when Ash will beat his toughest challenge yet with his literal who battlebots though.
>>50437089>Already coping
>>50437167Dumb Serenafag
I don't care
>>50437183You guys are jumping to conclusions. This is the same opening that didn't include Serena to keep her return a surprise. It'll be the same for Greninja.
Realistically, why do you think they removed Ash-Greninja from the flashback?
>Anyone remember the episode where they go to alternate universe and meet their clones?>Anyone remember the episode where they go to alternate universe and meet their other selves?>Anyone remember the episode where they go to alternate universe and meet their dopplegangers?>Anyone remember the episode where they go to alternate universe and meet their doubles?Guess the ethnicity of each author of the above posts.
>>50437193> you guys aretrying to bait a reaction out of you, and you're falling for it.
>>50437194Because they're saving it. I also think having Ash explain it to Go would have been too time consuming and take the focus away from Lucario.
>>50437194retconned because it was a shit form
>>50437177Even better
>>50437194his job is done basically, he doesn't need to appear anymore.
Remember when people said Lillie's Mohn plot would never be resolved?Remember when people said Iris wouldn't make it to the Masters 8 and she was one and done?Remember when people said Dawn would only get one cameo and wouldn't come back despite all the Piplup merch at the time?Remember when people said Alan would never return?Remember when people said Serena wouldn't appear this series because the writers couldn't follow up the kiss?etc.Half the things I remember people saying when this saga first started were all proven wrong.
>>50437165i wont allow it
>>50437182I remember a past thread where someone proposed a model where Ash has to fight through all M8 members starting from Iris upwards. Seven 6v6s would literally give room for Ash to use a team for each of the series, finishing with his PM team for Leon. What a waste of an opportunity.>Kanto/Johto mixed team vs Lance>Kalos team vs Alain>Unova team vs Iris>Sinnoh team vs Cynthia>Hoenn team vs StevenAnd Alola team vs Diantha, I guess.But it will most likely be shitty 3v3 single-elims where there wouldn't even be room for proper reserve use.
When will the season and anime end?
>>50437193Face it, Greninja won't return. No wait, he'll return in a scene similar to 109 when he looks at the sky after Lucario had won the M8. That's all you'll get. Hope i see you happy
>>50437215what do you mean?greninja won't come backreserves won't be usedLucario will become the strongest Ash's pokemonand you will like it
>>50437230November
>>50437230Around gen 9 release.
>>50437240>Lucario will become the strongest Ash's pokemon>and you will like ityes i will
>>50437228This is pretty much exactly what I wanted, but this rushed, poorly-written saga only knows how to waste good ideas and give people the most disappointing 'payoff' possible.
>>50436686That's implying that Serena or any girl Ash would have kids with would settle down themselves and not want to keep traveling around as well. If Ash ever did start a family with whoever you ship him with, they would be like one of those families that just travel all over.
>>50437215Let's hope reserves happen. But i honestly doubt it. Ash doesn't look like he needs them or is even considering the idea
>>50437240> and you will like it
>>50437261The whole opening shot of his old pokemon is aimed at Leon. Or just the general group shots of the current series like your pic
Shut the fuck up about A-G already holy shit, It's like you fuckers don't want to talk about anything else
>>50437222The new girl is going to make Koharu jealous
>>50437212Pretty much this. It has served it’s purpose.
The way Goh snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in the new episode reminded me a lot of earlier Ash and the contrivances that caused him to lose.
God I hate Leon
>>50437279It was training Lucario, but that doesn't mean it "served its purpose."
>>50437255Serena would probably eventually retire from performing relatively early, and probably assume a more Yashio-like job of managing/instructing local performers. That doesn't require as much traveling, she'd probably be based on some major city and traveling only on occasion.
>>50437275Koharu is already jealous since Goh only wants to hang out with Ash.
>>50437288>It was training Lucario, but that doesn't mean it "served its purpose."Thats exactly what it means
>>50437286>God I hate Leonsame
>>50437288That was it’s role this series, anon. Let it fucking go.
>>50437294No, Ash and Greninja nodded to each other at the end.
>>50437269Now this is cope
>>50437303>>50437307They already had the passing the torch moment in the Raihan episode, you honestly expect them to repeat the same thing?
Ash trying to figure out an exit strategy after he finds out Goh is as much of a loser as his previous acquaintances.
>>50437056that's the thing though, Ash is going to battle just 3 people and we pretty much expect it to be Iris, Alain and Leon.
>>50437271Is fun to make fun of the jobberfrog
Who is this annoying cunt and why did she block Ash? Does she not know he's in the Master 8? What a retarded fucking bitch. He should be allowed to participate, he's fucking MASTER level. Turned off the episode, that's why I get for giving a G*h ep a chance LOL
>>50437316> Iris, Alain and Leon.no we dontIris is too irrelevantAlain jobs to Leon, for a Zard vs Zard fight
>>50437312No because it isn’t coming back.
>>50437194>teasing>don't want to confuse kids by putting AG in a flashback and not having it show up live>not to overshadow Lucario by having Greninja get a special form from the bond and Lucario not>Battle Bond turns into Aura so Greninja can teach Lucario how to master it and if BB is no more then so is the AG formOne of those
>>50437240>and you will like itLike it is little, I WILL LOVE IT
>>50437320that's my wife
>Lucario defeats Cynthia/Leon with a massive auraball that gets energy from all of Ash's Pokemon and human friendsOk, that COULD be kino.
>>50437275Kek, Based
>Scott is still trying to autistically say AG is coming backRetarded
>>50437312I swear Greninja babies have to be the pettiest motherfuckers ever. Let it go, you think Ash cares about some revenge with my frog? If he fights Alain he'll do it with his current team
>>50437328No way they are passing the opportunity to have Ash rematch Leon. Ash vs. Iris is boring, but it is bound to happen as well.
>>50437240>and you will like it
>>50437343Wouldn't that be cheating?
>>50437349It's not frogfags, they've all given up hope. It's just Scott now.
>>50437349It makes no sense not to use Greninja. I'm not even some major Greninja fan, it just makes no sense not to use it.
What his deal
>>50437355hey, if Beat Up is a legitimate move why not
>>50437343> that would behorse shit. Literally 'everyone, lend me your energy' but it's for a stupid dogfight.
kill yourselves frogkeks
>>50437351There are several matches that have reason to happen.Ash vs Cynthia was teased ever since DP.Ash promised to fight Iris again.Ash has the whole Kalos league thing vs Alain.Ash never finished his battle with Diantha.Ash has mentioned Lance as someone to overcome earlier on.Leon is literally stated to be Ash's goal.I think only Steven has no real "reason" to fight Ash here. I hope the tournament format they showed in the first few episodes was actually just a placeholder and the actual tournament has him fight everyone but I'm sure I will be disappointed either way.
>>50437361Just how it doesn't make sense for Ash to not use his over 50 episodes for the biggest tournament in the world. Let it go
>>50437373See >>50437358
>>50437364He has to be tough to whip Project Mew members into shape.
>>50437335Your 'wife' is clearly brain damaged and doesn't understand that she can't talk down to a REGIONAL CHAMPION and a TOP 8 TRAINER, but that's just the bad writing for you. I bet they want us to think that Project Mew is stronger than PWC. Well no thanks.Maybe they're teasing an episode where Ash fights her and the other red haired guy? It'd be pretty funny if he was able to one shot them and they'd be out of breath, exhausted, and Ash would just say "Thanks for the practice!" without breaking a sweat.
Lucario the killer of Fanfiction
>>50437361What part of passing the torch did you not understand?
>>50437373Still 1-0 against the dog
>>50437347You degenerate cunts started drooling like a rabid dog the moment someone with a little fat on her chest came to the show, go outside you fags
>>50437349It really isn’t Frogfags. It is just Scott.
>>50437364He has maybe 5% of Ash's strength. Ash would make him cry in a real battle
>>50437386They already did that in Raihan
>>50437384Ash having a Lucario was pretty much initially a fanfic idea to be fair.
>>50437397Thus Greninja has no reason to come back. Let him stay in kalos to protect it. Otherwise the world will end again
>>50437364he should have been the suprise masters 8 not alain
>>50437320>Who is this annoying girl and why did she block Ash?She is his wife
>>50437384> the exact same plotline that has been done multiple times (usually better) by literal who fanfic writers> I-IT'S THE KILLER OF FANFICTIONHoly mother of kek
The final girl is back to take the Ash.
>>50437398Hardly when shit was foreshadowed 17 years ago and multiple times
>>50437395Like in a pokemon battle or an actual fight between them? Cause Ash has done some ridiculous feats with his bare strength.
>>50437384It tries to be serious but it fails miserably with that artstyle Ash has. kek
>>50437406> this shithole of a continuity will end in the most brutal, chaotic way possibleGood, this is what it deserves for daring to exist past Sinnoh.
>>50437414Ash's wife or Goh's wife?
>>50437071>Introduce 2 rival characters at the very last minuteSasuga PM
>>50437430both
>>50437418>This retarded thing againDidn't you get BTFOed by another anon a couple threads ago? JN doesn't get to coast off of things that happened 17 years ago if it doesn't actually flashback to it delusional dogfag
>>50437430Ash's
>>50436920Boobs still inferior to Serena.
>>50437436Then where and who is Goh's wife?
>>50437442Chloe
>>50437435>JN doesn't get to coast off of things that happened 17 years ago if it doesn't actually flashbackDo you also happen to have a flashback there where you kys? What kind of retarded logic is this
>>50437441Serena is an ugly flattie
>>50437446Chloe? Nah she's just my pissrag.
Ash with a Lucario is the most obvious and natural thing ever
>>50437418That's not foreshadowing dude. The idea of Ash getting a Riolu has always been on the drawing board but wasn't fully realized until recent time. It's a reattempt.
>>50437451>no response Keep being retarded then I guess. It's the most simple logic imaginable, if it's going to connect to Ash's Aura abilities that were in AG/DP, it actually has to link to them and not rely on delusional fanfic writers like you make up connections that isn't shown.
>>50437441
>>50437390ywnbaw
>>50437464It is, but in this show in particular it feels a lot like "fuck it, give him a Lucario. And make it a mega while you're at it. Fuck, just give him a Gengar and a Dragonite too."They should just have gone all the way and finished his team with other popular mons instead of the duck and the fossil.
>>50437469NTA you retard, read next time. Your argument sounds dumb af
>>50437446Poor Goh.
>>50437475Because his story is ending, they just gave him the most famous ones so he can go out with a bang. Like Dragonite and Gengar
>>50437464> reattemptNo, it's a cheap apology that's coming way too late and is way too undercooked to actually feel satisfying; much like everything else in this saga. Honestly, they way it's written makes it feel cynical, dismissive and almost insulting; like they're saying 'there, you got your fucking dog now! Happy? Now stop complaining!'
>>50437384Ash having a Lucario while using Aura is peak fanfiction tho, and I still like it
>>50437349frogfag here, I unironically think it's over, I don't know why people have faith in this series delivering actual kino, it's not going to happen.
>>50437480>no argument yet againdogfags are all retarded I guess
>>50437441>Trashrena>Superior Dumb anon
Lucario is based, stop seething frogkeks
>>50437498Greninja literally has foreshadowing to return
>>50437498Every frogfag thinks its over. It's just Scott. All frogfags have left is laughing at dogfags for utterly getting destroyed by the ninja
>>50437496So when is Ash's Lucario going to turn into Mega Ash-Lucario? That would be peak fanfiction and I would enjoy it.
>>50437475>instead of the duck and the fossilThese two are the weirdest. It's like they were mandated to promote at least a few Gen 8 mons for Ash but happened to pick the two most random candidates possible.
>>50437496This fags tells us that no pokemon is too cool and proceeds to shill the fuck 7 shitmons out of all 900+ pokemon.
>>50437498Unironically this. Ash is going to use his new Pokémon to beat everyone. Reserves only got shown for a couple seconds in a Project Mew episode, where Infernape got mogged by a flaming turkey. This 'World Championship' will end with Ash using fresh recruits we barely see him train, rather than all the Pokémon we've seen him build actual connections with.It's unironically over. The one shot they had at a good World Tournament arc is gone, just like Ash's first Championship title; all botched by the same hack.
>>50437469>delusional fanfic writers like you make up connections that isn't shown.Anon, you're going to have to come up with an actual argument one of these days instead of just>F-FANFIC
>>50437485>Because his story is endingNot this again. Ash isn't leaving. If that was true, then a bunch of other stuff like Giovanni need to be wrapped up too which isn't happening.
>>50437531>>50437509It's not over. IT"S NOT OVER
>>50437538>If that was true, then a bunch of other stuff like Giovanni need to be wrapped up too which isn't happeningI don't think Giovanni is necessary, actually not necessary at all
>You see, Ash needs to get all the starters and the regional bird ok? NO you can't give him a team of full evolved mons NO you can't give him a Lucario it's bad writing because I say so, it's lame because I say so, it's forced because I say so
>>50437533I shouldn't have responded to a retard who was already shown to be a delusional dumbfuck a couple of threads ago. Fucking mutts
>>50437496Unfortunately the anime gave him the poorest moveset. They need to get rid of Reversal & Steel Beam with Bone Rush and Extreme Speed/Close Combat.
>>50436950Ash x Dawn
>>50437552It's the only moveset that could work with the shitty animation kek. Imagine them trying to animate the hand to hand stuff with close combat or bone rush
>>50437550>I shouldn't have responded to a retard who was already shown to be a delusional dumbfuck a couple of threads ago. Fucking muttsNo response, I accept your concession.
>>50437548Can we give him a legendary?
>>50437540Give up man, why waste your energy having literally any expectations from this shit saga? Tomiyasu only cares about wanking Arora and making Ash 'unbeatable'. If you can't accept the state this show is in, just take this L and admit that you should've moved on from this cartoon for toddlers years ago.
>>50437496Is it? I mean in that AG Movie we found out people exist with Aura and shit and Ash just happened to be one of them. Now 17 years later we are here once again with Ash using his aura powers. This whole aura thing became a thing as soon as it was introduced
>>50437561
>>50437570I want him to get Lugia, would be cool.
>>50437566Holy projection Batman!
>>50437488>apologyYou frogfags got mindbroken pretty hard, huh? Everything they do is an apology exclusively to you
>>50437574Sounds exactly start of a fanfiction to me
>>50437364full team when
>>50437579Meds, now!!
>>50437548> h-hey guys you like my strawman???No, fuck off. I've wanted Ash to have a Dragonite, Lucario and Gengar for years, but the writing surrounding these Pokémon (on the rare occasion they actually show up) is utter dogshit. Unironically, the Pokémon I like most on his team is the stupid duck, because at least it got a GOOD arc and has a fun personality (when it actually gets to show up). Proof that having shillmons is worthless when they're this badly written.
>>50437570Chibi form Giratina would be based
>>50437540Give me a good reason for Greninga to leave his duties in Kalos and return to Ash's team. Give me a good reason, something that makes sense beyond "Muh special frog lost against Alain so now he NEEDS to return and beat his ass just because" Come on i'm waiting fag
>>50437596>the writing surrounding these PokémonIs bad because, let me guess, you say so
>>50437582So when is the aura hunter that has awoken from being stuck in stone for thousands of years to hunt down Ash going to appear? If we're doing fanfic ideas, let's do that. I do want to write something like that later down the line at some point, I think it would be fun to do.
>>50437600Ash is paired with Alan, Ash decides to bring back Greninja, it's not rocket science. The vines were an afterthought in the episode, they can easily bring back Greninja for one match.
>>50437610>Ash decides to bring back GreninjaWhy? he has a full team who can take on champion tier Pokemon.>The vines were an afterthought in the episode, they can easily bring back Greninja for one match.They appeared 2 times in the episode and were dangerous.
>>50437574Yes, since that movie there have been thousands of fics with aura Ash and people still can't decide what powers use for him. Since the movie we know that aura os life force and everyone has but Ash is a freak of nature in that area.
>>50437633The vines were an afterthought the whole episode. When the previews were airing I thought they would make a big deal out of them, instead they barely appeared and the final scene was just to show Greninja/Lucario team up against them. After that they didn't even show up again.
>>50437570Ho-Ho being his legendary is the choice which makes more sense to me.
>>50437610Why? He didn't do that in your favorite season, the one you fags were was the last and assured victory.
>>50437636I like to think Ash could use aura to do stuff you would see in things like dragon ball. Shoot beams made of aura, create shield, see and sense things and so forth.
SATOSHI IS MY SUPER MAN!
What kind of episode do you guys think the Lemon siblings will be back for? Because they didn't get a send-off.
>>50437667We know Japan.
>>50437054This begs the question: What will Pikachu do?If this is the grand finale of the series, no way they would left Pikachu without a big win. Maybe there will be another battle (Tobias? Giovani? Red? Ho-oh?) after Ash wins the tournament where Pikachu can shine
>>50437605Yes
>>50437672They will meet Delia and Bonnie will ask her to marry Clemont.
>>50437672I think this might be it. I mean what kind of send-off do you even want. Like the one with Greninja and Serena?
>>50437581> F-FROGFAG!!!!I've wanted Ash to have a Lucario since I watched the 8th movie, retard; it's one of my favorite Pokémon.
>>50437149So Lucario will deal the final blow to Leon, then? What about Pikachu?What if, after defeating Charizard, Leon's 6th Pokémon is revealed to be legendary a la Kukui?
>>50437564They already have done with Bea Grapplock
>>50437604> i-it's only bad because you said so!!!!If you've watched all 110 episodes of this series and genuinely think any of these ideas were well-written and properly executed, then I honestly have nothing further to say to you. Take this as my concession if you want, because I'm not gonna waste my time arguing with a brainlet who thinks this isn't one of Ash's laziest, worst-written teams ever.
>>50437692Just a bit weird they got sent off on a gag, whereas Serena got another goodbye.
>>50437672A leak said bith were gonna have an episode along with serena. But the leaker, didn't give many details about it.I don't know if it was true tough, but his leaks about who were the master 8 were right.
>>50437693His dog is Ash's super ace for this gen. Their relationship began with an egg and now he has a Mega. Like seriously what the fuck do you people even want.
>>50437496My problem with Lucario is that they could've given him a special aura boost, like in smash ultimate, in that game Lucario becomes stronger everytime it's hit, when you are at a high % your aura becomes enormous and you basically delete people.Instead they gave him a gimmick on top of Mega that basically replace battle bond and it's now aura bond or some shit like that, just to do a one shot g-max sphere.
>>50437375>Ash promised to fight Iris again.Ash promises to fight again with literally anyone he defeats
>some dog is making the nardofrog fandom that only started watching the anime in 2013 seethe so hardIs this what the call karma after being obnoxious fucks even more annoying than Amourfags?
>>50437538There's still Project Mew, maybe Giovani is involved?
>>50437720source?
>>50437720It be nice to see an XY gang reunion like the SM and DP groups have gotten.
>>50437720That leak was fake. He got the M8 right because he posted his leak on 4/30 and M8 was leaked 4/27.
The great debate
>>50437720that was a fake leak
>>50437746>It be nice to see an XY gang reunionNo, worst group
>>50437720Would be nice to see the XY gang reunite. I also want the full reunite of Cilan with Ash and Iris too.
>>50437776I think a BW is possible, especially with both Ash AND Iris in the M8. As far as the XY gang though, I dunno how they tackle it.
Ash x Dawn It was always meant to be
>>50437776I know people hate best wishes but i too hope cilan, can reunite with ash and iris, and what does he have to say about how both are top trainers.
>>50437610>they can easily bring back Greninja for one matchThey definitely can, but they won't.They are hyping Lucario, they even retconned A-G form and bond phenomenon to aura shit just to make it look like Lucario could learn this and become stronger.They wont' bring Greninja back to steal the spotlight.Alain will simply job to Leon, since he's the only known character with a strong Charizard besides Leon.
What's this /padt/ meme about Ah's team not having personalities? I've only seen around 8 episodes in total of PM and i they are all pretty distinctive
>>50437767Nah that's the AG group.
>>50437722For the execution to actually be GOOD, you mentally challenged baboon. Just because Tomiyasu wrote a 'hurr durr it hatch from egg literally SOULMATE' plotline and kept giving Lucario freebies throughout the saga doesn't mean it's well-executed. In fact, I'd say Lucario, despite being such an obvious and natural pick for Ash, is probably his worst-written and most poorly developed ace to date.I really liked the idea of it, but maybe Ash having a Lucario is something that should've never stepped out of Wattpad; especially not if they were gonna do it like this.
>>50437797They didn't retcon anything
>>50437801No, no one has said they don't have any personalities to my knowledge. They just don't have a lot of screentime and don't work well together as a team
>>50437806They're like, the second-best group.
>>50437823>They're like, the second-best group.Second? Who's the first?
>>50437801the issue is really about having very little screentime, especially shared screentime to fully flesh out their bonds as a team. a lot of it is glossed over due to the fact PM needs to put a lot of attention on Goh catching Pokemon, and also giving Goh's Pokemon personalities and screentime, too.
>>50437801they each do have a personality BUT the issue is that they do not get nearly enough screen time for being ashes M8 team
>>50437815explain this
>>50437837That's fair. I want to see more of Dragonite. Have Ash get hurt or something and just see the normally dragon type that likes to hug go in a berserk rage.
>>50437829>May's chemistry with Ash goes to shit as soon as Drew is introduced>Ash and Max have even less than Ash and Bonnie>Brock and May barely get anything>Ash and Brock is the same as it was in JohtoNah, they're pretty shit. XY isn't much better but it is.
>>50437818>>50437848also Greninja's ability was never tied to aura until uh episode 108, that's a big coincidence
>>50437829The OS trio
>>50437815meant for you >>50437858
>>50437801The problem is that Ash's Pokémon outside of Pikachu barely show up outside of mandatory development arcs, M8 battles, or the occasional cameo. Hell, he doesn't even always have his full party on him; there's multiple episodes where the only Pokémon he has is Pikachu, or MAYBE Riolu, if Pikachu felt like sharing some screen time for once.
>>50437859Eh, the OS group was okay, but not the best. Them being first doesn't really mean anything.
>>50437823>Group sucks Ash's dick for 24hMore like fourth
>>50437823Second worst group you mean
>>50437852they have MORE then needed filler this season I don't know why they don't have eps dedicated to his mons more often>>50437815its over they are gone
>>50437858>>50437894I want to see the same thing happen to the kiss.
>>50437882Being first has nothing to do with it. They had the best chemistry amongst each other. Every other group has one weak link.
>Ash Greninja comes back>Kills /padt/>Also kills 712 Kalosians who disappeared or will killed by vine tentacles.
>>50437908kek
>>50437908>Ash Greninja comes backnever going to happen, just let go already
>>50437858> they didn't have both Ash and Riolu train under Riley or some sort of Aura master, so that Lucario could use its fullest potential> they just retconned AG into an aura ability so it could train ONLY Lucario so it could create a really big ballWhat the actual fuck is Tomiyasu's problem?
>>50437877That is how PM operates in general, its characters and plot points have reserved single episode focus then put in the fridge with no progression whatsoever until they have to be called again to the spotlight.
>>50437856>May's chemistry with Ash goes to shit as soon as Drew is introducedDumb shippingfag>Ash and Max have even less than Ash and BonnieTheir early interactions alongside when Ash beat Norman and when they left were funny and endearing.>Brock and May barely get anythingThey were shopping buddies a couple of times which is more than Dwan and Brock and Serena and Clemont(combined).>Ash and Brock is the same as it was in JohtoFair, but the focus was on the new charas.They're defiantly above the XY crew.
>>50437917He didn't like certain aspects of XY.
>>50437891No, I don't mean that at all. Why would I?
>>50437926And I'm baffled that some people will go out of their way to defend this nonsense. I don't even know if it's because people are attached to certain ideas, or if they just hate something so much that they're willing to put all their weight behind garbage writing.
Cilan, Ash and Iris being in one place is extremely unlikely.
ITT: Seething
>>50437666...this thread went to shit already so I guess there's nothing wrong with talking about fanfics.Fuck Aura, after years I grow tired of the same shit just like I did with amourshit making Ash OoC to justify him falling in love with Serena.Where's my ninja Ash?Or mage Ash?Or psychic Ash?Or swordsman Ash?They all got a basis in the anime.
>>50437882What's your favorite group anon?
>>50437932So he had to take it out on poor Lucario and its development as well? Is he retarded, or does he hate the dog just as much as he hates the frog?
>>50437883Are we still talking about the AG group?
What was Tomiyasu's "thinking" when he decided to not explain why the vines were acting up, or referencing Zygarde as for why Greninja was there? Does he think ignoring such a big plot point is "good writing"?
>>50437962Marketing wanted Greninja back for one episode even if he didn't want to. At the end of the day is all about money
>>50437961I like the DP group the most. I will admit I'm not sure why, but I enjoy how they do things even if Brock doesn't get as much development compared to Ash and Dawn.
>>50437973The less talk about XY the better
>>50437973>Does he think ignoring XY is "good writing"?He should if he is smart.
>>50437932>>50437962I love how people just blame Tomiysau. He isn't the headwriter or even the day to day director of the current series.
>>50437975So you're telling me Tomiyasu's shit writing is the marketing department's fault now? Aren't we allowed to blame this faggot for his own bad decisions?
>DP gang>OS gang>AG Gang>Kalos/Alola>BW
>>50437989When it comes to Pokemon, the biggest franchise in the world, Nope
>>50437981They're probably my favorite in terms of individual characters but as a group, their dynamic falls short of OS and AG even though I like Misty and May less than Dawn.
>Episode has Go actually fucking fighting for once>Actual battles too. Fast, but still proper battles.>Introduce a cute new girl and a gigafaggot dude that team up>They're total assholes with dirty tricks in mind>Both will likely come back at some point in this excessively prolonged side plot that makes no senseHell, this whole "You need OUR permission to hunt Mew" nonsense is just a dumb subplot to begin with. When it's not a Go-centric episode, it's good. Give me more Team Rocket radio episodes instead of Go episodes.
>>50437983He doesn't hide his bias towards SM at all.
The DP group was garbage IMO. Brock got sidelined hard and Dawn and Ash were too fucking similar to have any interesting dynamic.
>>50438007He wouldn't be the based chad director if he did.
>>50437986Who is the director of this series?
>>50438012Brock got an actual arc in DP. Dawn was fun and so was Ash. Even if Dawn is a female Ash she os still a girl and thus hdoes girly things
>>50437999Other directors have had to work with marketing's interference before as well; Tomiyasu isn't the only one. In fact, the format of this series makes me think he's been given the most leeway out of all of them. If he wanted this whole 'aura' plotline, he had more than 50 episodes where he could've snuck it in rather than some pointless filler episode...unless you're gonna tell me all of those are because 'marketing' as well.
>>50437908this is a galarian's wet dream.
>>50438007He is based after all. God i can't wait for the Alola episodes
>>50438017Tomiyasu
>>50438000their group was the best out of what we've got before(not OS) and after but remember when it comes to DP it is Ash and Dawn's story, brock, unfortunately, had to take a back seat.I think that the DP chemistry was the best, especially that of Ash and Dawn's relationship they still have the best chemistry out of all shipping/parings there is really no alternative when it comes to shipping they are really made for one another it also helps that Piplup and Dawn are both extremely popular in japan
>>50437349frogfag hereI gave up since the training episodeI just hope for at least
>>50438012>Brock got sidelined hardI mean yeah, but how is that any different from any other series, at least DP gave him some interesting mons to interact with and a decent endpoint for his character.>Dawn and Ash were too fucking similar to have any interesting dynamicThem learning from each other, trading pokemon, and being super into cheering each other on, much more so than with May and Serena, made for a lot of good moments.
>>50438068So...the reason you liked the DP crew the best is because you're a Pearlshipper?
>>50438076I became a pearlshipper because I liked DP's story and its characters(Ash and Dawn for shipping)
>>50438037What is this girbish, Scott?What does having and arc have to do with group interactions? Brock's role as the older brother got sidelined for the most part. Also Dawn doing girly things doesn't change the fact that her personality is similar to Ash and found it to be boring. Ash talking to himself every episode got boring real quick.
>>50438068>Ash and Dawn's relationship they still have the best chemistry out of all shipping/paringsHonestly, even thou Dawn's my favorite character I see her mostly as Ash's little sister and really like that dynamic like in the episode where she made a play with her pokemon to cheer Ash up after his loss to Paul.
>>50438091Ha, whatever you say Scott. Go be contrarian somewhere else
>tfw I've started accidentally calling my girl Scott whenever she says something dumb.
>>50438116H-hot.
>>50438106Sorry, I thought the DP group sucked, not trying to be a contrarian I just didn't enjoy the dynamics and chemistry.
>>50438005I still Project Mew ends up being evil and want Mew for some nefarious reason.
>>50438069How much comedy can we expect in Gen 9?
>>50438151Not much since it will be directed by ____me____.
>>50438091>Brock's role as the older brother got sidelined for the most part.Not really most of his focus episodes centered around him helping someone understand their pokemon better. Also, his teachings is the primary reason Dawn was able to gain the trust of Mamoswine.>Ash talking to himself every episode got boring real quick.He's not just talking to himself, he's talking to a past version of himself, one who is facing similar struggles as hid did and he is now watching her grow and find solutions to her problems in her own way.
This is Ash's last season in the sense that he's getting isake'd next series.
It's nice that they got rid of this intro, we now have 20 more seconds per episode.
>>50438183They got rid of it because Go's not going to achieve his goal so they're trying to make it sing less by dropping the intro with him in it.
>>50438194*sting
>>50438151I hope a lot more than JN has, I can never get enough comedy!
Serena: Now Ash either you marry me or I'll tell everyone you sexually assaulted me when we were traveling together, you'll be kicked out of the M8 faster than a quick attack!Ash: Blows his brains out.
>>50438250Well, that escalated quickly.
>>50438263It's how he gets isaeked next series into a new pokemon world where everyone is as strong as Leon so we can keep the stakes up.
Ash-Greninja was better written than Ash's Lucario but it's good to finally see Ash have a Lucario and the aura powers being addressed. Greninja having an important role in aiding the link between Lucario and Ash was the best solution.
>>50438194Yep moving it for the next Gen, when he starts catching Gen 9 mons
>>50437275Based Goh
>>50438299As a rabid frog fag I don't mind Greninja being the missing link between Ash and Lucario, or retconning Battle bond as being related to aura. I think it was probably a smart writing decision. I just wish people weren't so spiteful and praising the idea of Ash-Greninja not coming back to face Alain.
>>50438250
Ash x Misty
>>50438338you just know
Ash decides he wants to bring Greninja for the battle with Alain. Lucario wants to prove itself trustworthy in Greninja's eyes and takes over the vine weeding job for a day via the power of Aura so Greninja can leave and go have the match. They come back when it's done, Lucario and Greninja shake hands and they part ways with Greninja back on the weeding job.There. I made a very simple and easy to write way for Greninja to come back for a match. I don't even care about rserves, but the lack of basic creativity of you people is just sad.
>>50438394And it only costs $3,689 in plane ticket costs!
Ash x everyone
>>50438338
>>50438394>Lucario can't Mega Evolve or use full power Aura with Ash missing.>Dies to the vinesWell done, idiot
>>50438394Why the fuck are you people so obsessed with this frog? It had his fucking series. I don't even like Lucario, but it switching roles with Greininja for a day is cringy as shit. Let it fucking go.
>>50438338Why is every character in this show a dogfucker
>>50438459> W-WHY WON'T YOU LET GO OF THE PASTBecause Tomiyasu decided to dig up this grave, bring back Greninja, hide the AG form in a way that only fuels speculation, and then put Alain into the M8 for no reason? Seriously anon, what did you fucking expect?
>>50438477>what did you fucking expect?To fucking grow up.
>>50438483> 'g-grow up!!!' he said, as he smugly responded to random idiot #50438477 on a board dedicated to a kids' franchiseYou sure showed me.
>>50438477You wanna blame someone? Blame muh operation frog, death threats and all the other bullshit you fags did>I-I'm not a frogfag
>>50438531NTA, but what the fuck are all these accusations? Literally all I've seen frogfags do is post gigachad memes and call each other " my liege " and shit.
>>50438531> T-THEY'RE PISSING OFF YOU GUYS!!!For what monetary gain, you idiot? Or did you delude yourself into thinking this is some passion project run by emotional high schoolers rather than a soulless billion-dollar franchise that exists solely to make money?
>>50438515Anon, you are having a meltdown about a cartoon.
>>50438402No refunds, by the way.
>>50438531holy fuck you're delusional. literally everyone here is a shitposter and you're fucking taking this shit seriously. meds and touch grass. fucking kek
>>50438558Anyone can pull the "you're so mad lol" game
>>50438439Lucario will be fine. They're still connected even when far apart. Just like Greninja. They'll still harmonize just like how Greninja is somehow still strong enough to deal with he vines now without his form. Lucarios are use to that shit.
>>50438558> I'm an autistic child, so you saying 'the f word' is a meltdown to me!Good to know.
>>50438597>>50438597>>50438597
>>50438091Man, this anon really puts Serenafags/XYfags to shame, look at this retarded shit
>>50437882Well Brock and Misty weren't humping Ash's leg every five seconds.They mentored him and called him out when he was being a little shit.
>>50437415Prove it. Post 100
I love Ash's Charizard!
