Why is the new Pokemon anime shipping Ash so hard?
>>133834678
probably because they figured out half their viewers are fully grown perverts
It panders to an audience.
And it's bullshit because it will all revert back to the status quo of only Ash and pikachu right at the end.
Imagine being the person who collected all that.
>>133834678
Because this is the last season of Pokemon with Ash as MC. They need to switch things up, so they're making Ash and Serena a couple.
>>133834678
who is this I haven been into pokemon for many years
>>133835235
The current female companion, Serena. They change the girl every series.
Reminder of who won the /vp/ pokegirl poll.
>>133835235
Ash switches companions every time he changes worlds to mark the start of a new gen.
In XY, the girl is Serena, and she has a crush on Ash. It's been driving /vp/ mental for a while now.
Holy F U C K

Comprehensive.
>>133837628
>implying /vp/ isn't dead
>>133834678
Because they are running short on Pokefag tears from when they made Misty irrelevant so they're recreating the same level of affection in the fanbase that Generation One had for Misty so that when they split Serena and Ash apart, they can refill their stocks to last them another decade.

He didn't do it alone, we gave him a good chunk of the screencaps.

>Pikachu's face in all these panels
It knows. Look at the smug little bastard. Doesn't matter how close the other girls get. It know that they're not the endgame. Pikachu is right there on his shoulder, in between the girls and Ash. You really think any of the girls have a chance? The second one of them leans in for kissu, Pikachu will just wag its tail and jump towards Ash, and Ash wont care in the slightest that he got cockblocked.
The Pokegirls have no hope.
>appreciate One-Punch Man for its art and animation but never really get so much into it for unknown reasons
>get hyped during each Pokemon X/Y episode
Am I hopeless?
>>133838799
One Punch Man is trash.
At least Pokemon XY has some creative flair going for it.
>>133836040
Ash's mom's name was Delia? Go figure.
>>133836040
But Gary Oak is best pokegirl
>>133836040
>Jasmine only 7th
>not 1st
Shit taste, /vp/.
>>133838799
They're pretty fun.
The Olympia battle was the hypest I've been while watching an anime for a while.
And I normally don't even care for the battles that much.
>haven't played any of the games
>haven't watched any of the anime
Is it hopeless if I barely want to get into Pokemon right now
>>133836040
>may first
Why, the only good thing about her were the spats.
>>133840774
You should

>>133834678
I like the blue haired chick more that appeared like twice.
I'd say its shipping Ash and Mega Greninja more than anything else
>>133841080
When I hear Punipuni's cry I can't help but think about Wololo
>>133834678
They realized that kids don't watch pokemon anymore
>>133841759
Except in Japan they do, that's why at the end of every episode there's shitload of flashy oy vey promotions.
>>133834678
Falling ratings, I guess, plus Kalos is the region of love so they need to incorporate that somehow.
>>133841923
The games maybe. When it comes to anime Yo-Kai Watch is ahead in ratings now (albeit barely).
>Two best protagonist not animated
I'm still mad
>>133842571
>Rosa
>not animated
Come on, she was even voiced by Aki Toyosaki.
