There are shows where using the Jap names just makes you look like an autistic tryhard, and Pokemon is definitely one of them.

>>140466896
Ash just needs to get his charizard and rape the guy
I've tried watching XY but I just keep noticing that Satoshi/Ash from season 1 was a lot more expressive and had more humor.
Does that change later on? I'm all for "friendship is everything" but not 24/7.
>>140469080
Depends on what you mean. If you watched the dub, 4Kids yukked up the script somewhat too.
Smile protected
>>140469133
I watched sub and am currently on episode 15.
What I mostly mean is that there were a lot of times that he just got angry and shit that didn't involve TR or something. Like when Primeape stole his hat, when he cross dressed as a girl just to challenge a gym etc etc.
It isn't just him either. Pikachu turned pretty bland as well.
>>140466896
Greninja is getting seriously strong.
Mega Charizard was able to go at it with 50% Zygarde and Greninja was actually keeping up until Ash fainted.
At this point, he might just be Ash's strongest Pokemon.
>>140468259
Youtube Red made 90% of Japanese Music unavailable in Murrica
Do we know if the Mega spacial is gonna have another episode or the 4th was the last?
>>140469485
Alain has already become part of the main story so I doubt it.
>>140466677
>>140466896
so ash dead or what
>>140469485
They said it was the final part of the series many times, and XY&Z was also said to be a "crossover" between XY and the Mega Evolution series.
>>140469347
Actually in-game wise, Greninja is considered an Uber so he should be able to fight against Arceus or shits like them.
>>140469485

>>140469805
Yeah, but Game utility doesn't quite translate to the anime.
I mean, Charizard was shit in the games until he got Mega Forms and the guy was a beast in the anime, to say nothing of Pikachu.
>>140468601

>>140472696
No, but Satoshi Gekkouga is not a mega evolution, it's something else. There's a running subplot where they're trying to find out WHAT it is.
>>140472696
Only this particular one. It's a special ninja transformation that's different from other mega evolutions, though it does give off the same energy.
>>140466677

Why dosn't he just find a mega stone for him then?I don't remenber if he had one in the games
XY/XY&Z is not bad at all, please don't just hate on it because you watched it back in elementary school and want to feel more mature on this anonymous imageboard.
Here's hoping that one day Ash's Charizard comes back...And Richie with his Charizard and have a friendly match between Ash's Mega Charizard X and Richie's Mega Zippo Y
>>140472831
It doesn't.
>>140472831
There is no Gekkouganite. It's a new made-up power for the MC just like in your battle shonens.
>>140472739
Thanks because I didn't think watching and discussion of anime and arguing like children because 'muh cartoon is more mature than yours' were mutually exclusive
>>140472815
Its great thanks! :^)
>>140469284
>Maturing is now becoming bland
It's called character development. Fuck, this is actually made obvious when Aipom steals his hat and he's cool about it, saying that's it's just a hat.
>>140472831
Both Mega Stones and key stones are extremely rare in the anime and people that have them keep them secret to the point where even the guy that studies them treats many mega evolutions as just urban legends.
>>140472880
Pokemon has been bad all the way up to and including X&Y, I doubt X&Y&Z is going to be any different.
>>140472884
>Ash getting X and not Y
>Wanting that faggot Richie back
>The battle not being between Alan's X or Trevor's X
>>140469284
No, I meant the dub of season 1. While the series had this constant comedic air to it in the original too, a lot of the banter and constant punning and joking dialogue was made up by the dub.
>>140472993
I'm all for character development, but it just makes a kids show like Pokemon bland.
We effectively have an MC that is mature in behavior but still dense about girls.
>>140472281
And you really believe what a random anon claims?
>>140473024
>Bad
Are you kidding me? It's one of the most respected children's programs in Japan. You know the kind, with all the celebrity guests and shit? If you get offered a role on Pokemon, no matter how small, few voice actors are able to turn that down. It's considered to be an honor.
Also, it has far better animation than just about anything else on TV right now.

>>140473152
He's getting less and less dense
Pokemon is only worth watching at the league just to see what retarded way Ash loses this time around. Tried watching but Serena a shit if you're not an autistic shipper and Clemont/Bonnie aren't important.
>>140473333
His loss in the Sinnoh tournament wasn't that bad. He managed to take down a Darkrai and a Latios with him, so it was a pretty satisfying battle.
>>140473243
>>140471381
>there are seriously people like this on /a/
What the fuck is the point of a Pokemon board if we let them have threads wherever they want anyway?
>>140473374
That battle was animated like shit. What he accomplished was cool and all but it wasn't a battle with any rewatch value because it looks so bad.
The full battle with Shinji was and is great though. That was the real peak of the tournament and show.
>>140473243
>Are you kidding me? It's one of the most respected children's programs in Japan. You know the kind, with all the celebrity guests and shit?
So what, that doesn't automatically make it good.
>Also, it has far better animation than just about anything else on TV right now.
God no.
>>140473421
The Pokemon board was created because threads on /v/ always get out of hand whenever a new generation's being launched. It's not against the rules to make threads about it in other boards.
>>140473421
The answer is that little "v" in /vp/. It's a board that was made because the Pokemon talk on /v/ was so prominent it pushed so much other discussion out.
It's never had anything to do with /a/, nor has it ever been a containment board like /mlp/. Pokemon threads are allowed where they're relevant.
>>140473421
The board was made so they wouldn't overwhelm /v/. There's not even a rule that bars them from other boards.
>>140473421
>please keep anime off of /a/
Do you also bitch like this on all mecha anime threads?
>>140473374
It was obvious that the writers didn't have a convincing way for DP Ash to lose so they threw legendaries at him. Makes you wonder what's going to happen with XY Ash as he seems even more competent.
>>140466896
>kagebunshin
>>140466677
>>140473679
They seem to be genuinely hinting towards him winning and going up against the Elite Four, but then again, they seemed to be doing that in DP too.
>>140473679
They're not going to just let him win are they? Maybe S&M will have a new protag that eventually challenges Ash after he becomes the champ or some shit?
>>140471941
>>140473718 (me)
sorry m8, I made this redundant.
>>140473679
I'm thinking they might actually have Ash win the Kalos League or cancel it because of Team Flare putting their master plan in motion.
Alain implied he might be at the Kalos League and half of his team is already know because of merchandise in Japan(Charizard,Metagross and Tyranitar)
>>140473679
It's more like they already had several decent battles and it would be anticlimactic for him to lose against a normal trainer. I mean, there's nothing that would have stopped him from losing to someone who didn't have a team of legendaries. Ash isn't the strongest trainer in the world. There are plenty of people who'd be stronger than him. If the Pokemon world is anything like our own, there are six billion people living on that planet and most of them are trainers.
>>140473276
Has he?
If he really cared about her, he'd fucking banged her at this point. Guys knows when he loves a woman and she loves him back. He doesn't care.
>>140473753
XY was them managing to recover from the shitshow that was BW's crazy experiments and make a show that feels more like a continuation of DP. It's EXTREMELY unlikely they're going to take more dumb risks with unnecessary experiments like "let's reboot everything and start over with a new protag and hope kids like him" when they can continue with what they KNOW works instead.
>>140466896
This is way better than i remember Pokemon.

>>140473902
XY did fine for the target demographic, though. It's the manchildren that couldn't stop bitching.

whats yuya doing with a red eyes b. dragon?
>>140473967
That's what I was saying?
>>140474002
Meant BW. Kids found it fine and the show did as strong as ever.
I don't want /vp/ here.
>>140474023
Then why did they shift it back so much?
>>140474023
They really didn't. Ratings dipped bad and XY is such a return to form it's clear they saw there was a problem that needed fixing.
>>140472281
Like pokeman?
>>140474023
They outright fired BW's director, anon. The show did not do fine.
>>140474054

>>140474234
Aww you're so mature. Here's a hint for the future: whatever anime you like's target audience is children.
>>140466677
Wasn't he sick not long ago?
Also Pikachu seems to display more personality in this.
>>140475672
Not him but not all anime is for children retard. Most of it airs when they're asleep.
>>140475623
anon pls don't. he is RED from Special manga.
>>140475686
Greninja's transformation grants Greninja power but Ash feels the pain Greninja feels when it is battling.
Ash was sick recently(it led to Serena impersonating him for a battle)but I don't think it was because of Greninja's new power.
>>140475793
>Says on /vp/
>>140475891
He got sick because he was being an idiot and training with his Pokemon in a river late at night, fully clothed and getting soaking wet from splashes on top of that.
>>140475891
Your immune system does become weakened when your body is under stress though.
Did someone advertise this thread on /vp/ or something. This guy is fucking obnoxious.

>>140476230
They did Berserk and Layton.
>>140466677
I'm uncomfortable with how cute he looks here.
>>140475686
Wait....I'm not following the show, but does that mean Pikachu turns into a jealous ...thundere?
>>140476042
This is legitimately the first time Ash has ever gotten sick without being explicitly inflicted by something like Stun Spore, though. In Japan, they say idiots don't get colds.
>>140476356
Yes. He literally got butthurt Ash chose another Pokemon to battle Alan's Metang.
>>140476394
Our boy is growing up.
>>140476396
Considering how things went for Noivern,Pikachu was right.
I'm hoping that Pikachu gets some battles at the Kalos League or in the rematch against Wulfric,he has not done much since Ash vs Clemont.
>>140466740
Misty is back running the gym (with frequent visits from Tracey) and Brock studying to be a Pokémon doctor.
>>140476636
Noivern did pretty damn well for a Pokemon that only had nve moves.
>>140476636
It wasn't about winning, it was giving Noivern battle experience.
>>140476636
>>140476783
Also, it was just a friendly trainer battle with nothing on the line, it makes sense Ash would want to test out his newly evolved mon.
I don't understand why people in this thread are so upset. Some of you are acting like pokemon is beneath anime and only meant for kids yet most of the discussion on /a/ is about shit shows meant for kids anyway. Also isn't most anime meant for younger people? To what degree are you holding anime so high and why would someone discredit pokemon x/y without watching it? It's pretty good from what I've seen, a huge improvement from the last seasons. And on /a/ you can discuss any anime, including pokemon and naruto.
>>140468216

It's funny actually. I have a work, a gf and a nice apartment and I really enjoy putting on newest pokemon while I bet half of these virgins still live at home or have no work and live on tax money.

I'm using this guide. Seems to be working pretty well so far but I guess I see what you're saying though. I'm currently around episode 16 and having to go through trainer battles and training arcs isn't nearly as interesting as the rest of the show is.

>>140477689
It's toei
>>140477660
Yeah I don't think anime in general is a very mature or respectable hobby anyway. Take a look at a couple of threads on /a/ with high class "discussion".
>>140475623
I never fucking understood this scene, Red meets some person who may as well think is a stranger and he's like "WHY DON'T WE LIVE TOGETHER" like he's trying to get into said strangers pants and doesn't even know its a girl.

Whoa hell no don't skip episode 8, it's critical in establishing Ash's power level.

I'm going to be honest here. I have only watched gate, OPM, dbz and pokemon when it comes to anime. I see nothing wrong in liking something made for a younger audiens though. As long as you enjoy it.

Not really. Pokemon, WSJ generals, /ai/ and Precure account for like 99% of the daytime anime discussion on /a/.

Anime that airs in the day is meant for children. Anime that airs at night has adult themes. /a/ usually discusses the shows with adult themes and they make up like 90% of the shows that air at any one time.

>>140478401
Oh ok. 12 is okay enough, but it's not an episode people will sing the praises of.
Reminder that Ash has never won an official Pokemon League and never will.
Considering how every new region has new tagalong partners, why can't they have a season where Ash plays the mentor character?
Bonnie eps are the best part of the saga. Unlike past arcs which only focus on Ash and the main girl, Bonnie and Clemont get nearly as much screentime as Serena does so no character is left out.
Its not like in past sagas where Brock was always ignored as part of the background and barely did anything except when he got the odd filler episodes.
>>140478375
I know, but Red didn't even know who it was at that time.

What the fuck am I supposed to call them
>>140478900
Whatever you want. If they're in the games aswell you can call them by their english names imo. And who the fuck would call Ash, Satoshi when like 90% of the people here grew up with the name Ash?

literally why
>>140478828
Is this a fucking tumblr gif saved from reddit? How fucking cancerous can you get?
>>140478972
Because anal faggots like that exist. Same shit happens in the Yugioh threads whenever Jonouchi gets called joey, judai/jaden, etc

Hey man we all Anonymous, youdont have to hide your insecurities
>>140478900
The person who was calling you autistic tryhard is from /vp/. This is /a/, nobody watches dubs here and people who care about the game that much should go to /vp/ as the games are the reason that board exists.
>>140479047
Looks to me like you're the insecure one here. That is normal. That is not something rare. That is the majority of people.
>>140478599
Didn't you read the rest of the post?
>>140479079
It's a shitposter mate. Nothing more.
>>140478715
XY Ash is sort of like a mentor, maybe do a little research?
>>140479079
No one calls you a tryhard for saying Citron or Eureka when talking about the anime on /vp/ either. Nobody there watches the dub either.
>>140478828
Well personally fám I don't think Ashita no Joe is childish or braindead.
>>140478972
I use the real names for everything except pokemon, I ain't learning 720 names all over again

People like >>140478972 love bringing up the game. I can see that being understandable on /vp/ but here it doesn't make any sense.
>>140479090
Nah, I'm not the one who's using an anonymous imageboard for blogging. You just felt the need to say that to feel better about yourself because you believe the stereotype that everyone here is an autistic neckbeard
>>140477689
Precure brings in the real money.
>>140479359
Okay. No need to be so upset mate.
>>140479321
It's an adaptation of the game. Do you call yugioh cards by their Jap names too?
>>140478722
Fuck off Scott
>>140479254
thanks anon
>>140469347
greninja should've just been able to OHKO a fire type easy. fucking type matchings mean nothing in the anime

A whole bunch of it is copypasted episode summary/voice cast stuff, but you can click on literally any post that's just some random anon casually using Japanese names and I can guarantee you there won't be a "her name is Bonnie you autist" reply to it.
The only people I've seen get bothered about it are /a/nons that haven't watched the series since they saw the dub as kids.
>>140479475
Mega charizard x is part dragon which means it's neutral to water.
>>140479475
Yes because that makes for an interesting and suspenseful fight, alright
>Greninja's main attack is Cut
AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
>>140479475
Greninja never hit it with a water type move, and Megazard X is neutral to water.
>>140479002
Buildup for yet another signature move for Greninja
>>140479428
I'm just saying that this is a thread on /a/ about an anime. The sub calls them by their Japanese names and the only way to know their English names is to play the game in English or watch the dub.
And it's not an adaptation. More like a work in an expensive franchise.
>>140479535
It's just a place holder.
>>140479536
>Greninja never hit it with a water type move, and Megazard X is neutral to water.
That just proves how incompetent he is. Misses with any attacks that matter and lets the enemy mega evolve as a result. I don't know how anyone could get "greninja is strong" from that fight.
