This is Pokemon now
How does that make you feel?
>>335093206
Serena is best girl
>>335093206
just take out all the pokemon and let it focus on the girl please
You know it was over when Fairy type was a thing.
>>335093206
Girlwasqtdyke hair why?
>>335093206
Pokémon was never good in the first place.
>>335093206
i came
>>335093206
Pleased that they're finally spending any amount of money on the TV series
>>335093206
Some middle age man made this
Like mos things from japan, it has become feminine, barely resembling what it once was, and worthy only of ridicule.
>>335093206
dick status: MUH
>>335093206
I wish Love Live was animated that well.
Contests were a 3rd gen feature. Took you this long to notice this was a thing?
>>335093206
>Now
Did you forget Gen 3 that introduced contests?
>muh childhood
God "80s/90s kids" are fucking annoying.
I grew up with Pokemon and still play every new release and I couldn't give less of a shit if the TV series is placing more of a focus on Pokemon contests. It's not like you would have watched it anyway. It's like being mad that they changed the Teletubbies favorite food or something.
>>335093206
>>>/vp/
Seriously, this isn't even about the games
When did pokemon get decent animation?
Why are pokemon games so easy now? Legendaries have 100% catch rate and the gyms are like treading over toddlers.
>>335093743
>>335093721
men could compete in contests
gen 6 contests are female exclusive
>>335093554
and he didn't do it with whimsy
there was a strict deadline. a boss was breathing down his neck, angry about the shade of pink they used, and the movement of the ribbon. the man spent sleepless nights making sure the pokemons were in proportion to one another. accounting people made sure the scene stayed under budget. an executive was a rough draft screening and gave some notes about what wasn't going to work for foreign markets.
Wasn't contests in since gen 3 or something?
>>335093206
>Now
Contests have been a thing for almost 15 years.
>>335093832
Around the 5th gen anime they kinda went all out. Team Rocket were actually good at their job for a good while until I guess people bitch about it.
Some Pokemon battles can be movie levels of animation sometimes though somewhat rare to see.
>>335093910
yeah but it was about cool moves, not dancing on the spot and doing something you could do with people instead of needing pokemon
>>335093206
I like it actually.
>>335093874
its time to grow up and play a big boy monster taming game
>>335093554
Some middle age man posted this
>>335093884
Then what's up with this image on the wiki? Is that an anime only thing or something?
>>335093884
You are lying. Everyone on /v/ play as female. There wouldn't be a single male character to find out that it was a gender locked content.
>>335094169
I play as a boy so I can pretend all the girls are my gf's.
>>335094153
anime exclusive competitions called tripokalons
like contests except not as good, people only like them because of the sakuga moments and the pretty girls
>>335093206
Isn't she like 12 like the rest of the pokegrills? Not that I'm complaining or anything I just don't keep up with pokemon shows.
>Pokemon RSE saga gets beauty/talent shows that are boring as fuck and are re-occurring

I'll never understand why this is done because it almost always looks god awful in anime.

This is Alan's Mega Charizard beating an E4 member's Mega Houndoom
After this battle Alan continued battling lots of mega evolution trainers, so it's safe to assume he's now way above the E4's level
>>335093206
Poorly implemented 3D backgrounds and obvious rotoscoping?
The 3D backgrounds were so bad in the first opening.
>>335094564
And this is Ash's Greninja beating said Mega Charizard with cut
which means Ash is way above the E4's level too
>>335094639
>rotoscoping
not this meme again
>>335094564
why does pokemon's fight scenes have better animation than the new dragon ball fight scenes?
is this one of the movies?
>>335094564
>>335094715
Power levels are retarded.
>>335094564
This is the TV show?
Holy shit. It's really movie quality animation.
Much better than the animation from the Indigo days.
>>335094780
I believe this is a special. The ordinary anime is pretty good quality too though, they actually have a budget now. No more shitty speedlines.
>>335094715
To be fair Ash's Greninja may as well be a Digimon now. For anyone who don't know, Ash can somehow fuse with his Greninja.
>>335093206
>literally a Pokemon Contest
>HURR
>>335094780
Nope, it was part of a 4 episode side story. But a lot of the battles in this season have animations like that.
>>335094921
yes indeed
>>335094715
forgot to add it's not using its full power yet
>sissy anime shit with furry fapbait doing gay things and sparkles everywhere
What's different?
>>335094715
Ash lost this Battle though
What would happen if they made Pokemon Z?
Would the Anti-Christ destroy the world?
First of all, That's a contest animation
Second,Nice job ignoring how fantastic actual battles are being animated

After playing Pokken, I have the urge to get back into the series. I stopped playing the games after D/P due to losing interest. I even thought about picking up a random pack of Pokemon cards just for nostalgia purposes because I used to be obsessed with Pokemon when I was young. I don't want to go down that path again, though, so I think I'll just stick to Pokken and be done with it.
>>335095171
/a/ thinks they have elitism.
>>335095219
the battle didn't end, but he was winning by a landslide
>>335095293
I'm sort of in the same position, only with Yellow version as the game that's getting me back in. I sort of wanna play gen 3 for some reason. Probably nostalgia.
>>335095274
this really puts dragonball to shame.
>>335094997
The fuck? They tried to incorporate that shitty manga on the show?
>>335095650
Well they already have mega stones...So they kinda already did?
>>335095476
>Toei
>effort outside of Precure
>>335094776
Rotoscoping applies to tracing 3D models as well, the movements were clearly captured from a real person, are you blind? This is the kind of shit you see in The Idolm@ster
Is Pokken Tournament good?
>>335095737
>Mahou Tsukai Precure
>any effort
>>335093206You either die a good franchise, or live to see yourself become a bad one.Pokemon should have ended as planned after the first movie. It would have been a dignified end. They're removing videos of the trailer for the original planned ending all over the net.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xetYPvDF-Js
>>335095854
You'd have a point if it looked shit but it doesn't.
>>335093480
>that
>dyke
Have you ever seen a dyke in real life? They don't have hair like that. Pic related, a dyke by your ridiculous standards apparently.
>>335093206
would you rather fuck Serena or Braixen?
>>335096459
braixen
>>335096459
Why not both?
>>335095854
shingo fujii doesn't do rotoscoping
>>335096014
>It would have been a dignified end.
no it wouldn't because then ash would have never become a good trainer, ending after johto would've been good though
the whole point of ash and gary's rivalry is that they both were incomplete trainers who had what the other lacked
ash had strong bonds with his pokemon, but was a weak trainer
gary was a strong trainer who had a weak bond with his pokemon
after the kanto league they both gained what they lacked
gary's formed a stronger bond with his pokemon. Proof of this is his eevee evolving into umbreon
ash became a strong trainer, proof of this is beating all gym leaders after kanto fair and square
then at the johto league they had a final battle as complete trainers
>>335095854
>This is the kind of shit you see in The Idolm@ster
Are you implying that's a bad thing?
>>335093206
Looks stupid
>>335095854
No you don't, you see on Aku no Hana.
>>335095293
Gen 6 anime is a fuck ton better than Gen 4 and 5's anime
>>335093206
but this is the Pokemon anime
What does this even have to do with the games
>>335093206
>>335097331
No, I meant the movement looks the same and it's a common practice in video games but in animation it looks really off if not done well.
Glad the anime has something resembling a budget now
>>335093206
>How does that make you feel?
>>335093206
>>335093206
Where in the fuck did this guy go? He just about caught Raikou and rekt no one.

This shit ruined the Rebuild movies and it ruins this. Fuck Japan.

>This is Pokemon now
That's the anime. Only people that care about the anime are amourshippers and shit.
the ass is FAT
>>335104856
You can clearly see where her ass begins to curve.
It's for children OP grow the fuck up.
>>335104974
and its fat, I know
>>335104856
Someone (you?) took the time to create this image.
>>335093787
Well you see...the first problem is that...we're talking about a big name franchise of a big name company...
...Not the "Teletubbies"...what the actual hell are you talking about?
>I don't care if something good goes to shit,I'll still eat the shit dished out.
Indifferent. Haven't played it in 10 years
>>335105101
nope
>>335105729
You just couldnt let me be happy, could you
>>335093206
If this had been in the show back in the original run, wouldn't it be seen as the gayest shit?
>>335105941
nope.
>this is pokemon now
what the fuck? Pokemon has been like this for a long fucking time, did you even play ruby/sapphire and try out contests? fuck even the anime had a decent sized focus on them. fuck off op, stop trying this shit "t-the good old days were better"
you dont even have to say shit, we've had this thread multiple times already in various forms
>>335093206
>now
Contests were in Gen III.
Pokemon was always shit. Single player is piss easy and the best strategy is to use one or two pokemon. Multiplayer required tons of eggtism and once you finally had a team you just get swept by either a weather team or dragons with a glass cannon. I just want to use the pokemon I like, but that's not really viable.
>>335093472
But Fairy was a good thing, cause dragons were OP.
everything today SUCKS remember when everything used to be GOOD?
>>335093206
Good since its gotten way better now.
>>335094993
That was the ordinary anime anon. The specials already ended.
This is Pokemon now. How does that make you feel?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-heOcFFY1JE
>>335094378
>>335093206
I don't understand OP
What was wrong with that? The XY Z series is the best Pokémon anime in a long time. Leagues better than D & P and Black and White.
>>335093206
>Cute was fine before gen 6
>Ever since fairy was brought in all people do is whinge about cute as if Pokemon was smt or something back in gen 1
Idiots, i bet if Beast type was brought in a bunch of wankers will cry about edge even though Dark already exists.
>>335107141
>Z
It's never going to happen. Get over yourself, betacuck.
>>335093206
That looks pretty amazing, OP.
>>335107141
Nice implications pal
DP is still better
>>335107230
The anime is called XYZ, he was referring to the anime.

>>335093206
muh dick
is this the latest? is it worth watching?
>>335107230
You may have autism
>>335107230
>being this retarded
>>335107294
>DP
I would have actually accepted if you said Black and White but DP was hot garbage.
>>335107380
Aside the shipping garbage, it's probably the best pokemon anime saga so far
>>335106560
>But Fairy was a good thing, cause dragons were OP.
You mean Garchomp was OP. Fairy did fuck all to nerf the beast,and Mega Fugwhile weaker Dragon types like Flygon and Druddigon greatly suffered when they didn't deserve it.
>>335107141
>talking shit about DP
Get out.
>>335093206
Serena looking cute af
Meanwhile these fucking dumbass pokemon just running around all over the place ruin it.
>>335107560
Megas were a mistake.
>>335107584
Serenas a dumbnoob
>>335107584
The pokémon are the selling point
This is why we will see some kind of rhythm idol game or a DOAX styled game featuring poke girls
BRAIXEN IS CUTE
CUTE
>>335108036
Dumb furry fucker
>>335093206
>>335094564
Why does pokemon has much better animation than DBS or AA.
>>335108140
>thinking something is cute makes you a furry
Don't push your own insecurities onto others, faggot.
>>335108226
Says the guy with shit taste on starters
>>335108140
Saying something cute doesn't mean you want to fuck it.
>>335108501
Joke's on you, my favorite starter isBulbasaur, followed by Froakie.
>>335108587
>Not liking superior serperior
So are they gonna bone? I really hope they bone. She clearly wants him more than Misty.
>>335109017
>gen 7 anime comes out
>he dumps her off for the next region's girl
I can't fucking wait.
>>335093206
THe loli is cute so it makes me happy
Reminder that Ash's Goodra has a 100% winrate and is even more OP than Greninja.
This is Pokémon now too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzA2yJiwsaQ
>>335109131
It's more likely that Pokemon X Y and Z will leave off on a cliffhanger of some sorts and generations 7-9 will be prequels leading up to the conclusion in Generation 10.
>>335109131
Can't wait to see what excuse are they gonna pull to prevent Serena to follow ash
>>335093206
>The young Serena design
Fucking disgusting.
I want a Delphox wife
>>335093206
Makes me feel like its not that different from what it used to be.
>>335093206
The anime has always gotten its slice of moe shit for a while, maybe since Gen. IV, and a big percentage of the fans seem to be okay with it.
What worries me is that the main games are starting to lean to this. Pic related.
>>335093884
Are you high? Of course you can do contests as a male, but why would you, though?
>>335106985
>that pic
>>335095293
You know you could just play the games without having to obsess over it right? I've been playing the series from the start and have stuck with it all these years but beyond just playing the games I haven't really cared about all the ancillary shit since I was a kid. When Sun/Moon come out I'll buy one, play through it and do the end game content and be done with it.
>>335094525
>>335103246
>>335096014
That would have been kind of shitty, I mean Ash still fucking sucks at that point. They really should have just continued for a little while longer until he beat the Elite Four and then move on to a new kid. Sticking with Ash all these years is the ridiculous part, the series easily could have kept going with a new cast, it's not like Ash is anything special.
does anyone know when terufuu is coming back
>>335109506
It's been looming there since she cut her hair, that grandma will take her into whore businesses claiming to be "Kalos Queen" training lessons

Heh.
Those vertical pillar-shaped eyes are fucking disgusting. How can people enjoy this type of "art" without turning away in visceral disgust?

If you like this kind of art, then go straight to the kitchen and chug the nearest gallon of bleach, you worthless cultural race traitor.

Shingo Fujii is still a pretty young animator, he's in his 30s.

>>335104170
Those Gurren movies are shit.
>>335116928
I haven't seen them, but that animation though.
>>335110513
Pretty much me. I'm well versed in Pokemon shit like competitive terms and all that nonsense, but I'm not obsessed over it. Sometimes I'll hop in Pokemon Showdown, do a quick random battle, and then go on with my day. Never watched the anime past the first arc, never played the TCG, and I never bothered with any of the games outside of the main series.
>>335106865
Voice acting is still as flat as the first season
>>335093874
Ebin.
>>335095650
No, he's baiting you.
Let me guess:
This is a 2 minute clip and the rest of the show is nothing like this, OP is just taking it out of context to get people angry
>>335093206
I really wish they had dropped the satoshi shit and gone with older Serena and brown loli for XY
Sylveon is more than likely a guy right?
>>335093206
Makes me glad the Anime stopped infecting the games past Gen 2.
>>335108225

>>335093206
There's really no rhythm to it. They're all just kind of spazzing out at once.
