Thread begins with best girl.
>>24434170
Fuck off frog lips
Reminder that Serena should've been disqualified.
>>24434170
OK, but you need to post with the right image.
Gotta go, I'll leave the last request I delivered just in case that anon haven't see it yet. Later guys.
>>24434192
Go away Misty
>>24434192
Reminder that you shouldn't bitch about your shit that never happened because you pretend you understood the dialogue.
>>24434154
I don't watch the show anymore, but I just want everyone to know,
I want to FUCK that fox.
Thank you.
>>24434205We all do
>>24434188
At least my memefu has a name.
I want to fuck Serena really badly guys. I just want to do her like an animal in heat.
>>24434205
>not watching XY
You're missing out.
Post some qt phox from today's episode.
>>24434192
Just think of it as serena's Elesa gym :^)
I just came here to chill
>>24434211
>happy times between Alan and Manon never again
Why must life be so cruel? ;_;
>the last Amour hint we get for the year had Serena denying she likes Ash
>>24434204
She should've been disqualified for leaving the dressing room. What a bitch.
>>24434223
he could be fapping with his dick outside and nobody would notice
>>24434227
>the last amour hint from the series will be Ash and Serenahoding hands and blushing each other
>>24434227
>no more amour until next year
hahahahahaha
>>24434208
I had a feeling. I guess nobody mentions it.
>>24434216
Oh shit is it actually good? I stopped after
.
>>24434227
She did not deny it.
What were the questions in the Tripokalon?
>>24434252
Fuck
Stopped after johto
>>24434256
the same ones we got from pokefan
>>24434252
XY is an apology for how bad BW was.
>>24434256
Smogon damage calculations
>>24434261
I missed them, what were they?
>>24434264
I saw some of diamond and pearl but completely skipped B&W. Was it that bad?
>>24434252
Okay, let's get some hype webms in here for this anon.
>no more amour until next year
>omode didn't bother with spaghetti in her last episode
>amourfags caling the episode bad and getting butthurt because they didn't get shipping in their precious performance
>>24434255
Yes, she did
Also, I see Bunnelby is still the only Pokemon with Eevee.
Too many investments are being made in the wrong places if you keep extrapolating the anime based on the current status quo.
>>24434271
>I saw some of diamond and pearl but completely skipped B&W. Was it that bad?
You lucky bastard, trust us, nothing is good about b&w. Pretend it never existed
Well I see the bait is here, right on time
>>24434271
Yes.
>>24434276
i definitely ship amour, but i dont want it to be spoonfed to us every episode. I like the pace of it. These last few episodes, especially bonnies episode, are really nice and good fillers to watch.
>>24434271
Every girl except Iris was the only good thing about BW, keep your ignorance about everything else
>>24434278
Done and done. But what was so bad, if you don't mind me asking.
>>24434271
DP was arguably Pokemon at its best, but XY is good too. Also AG saved the anime after the Johto arc with May becoming the most popular fan-favorite girl of the series.
>>24434295
Shut up, Scott.
>>24434295
DP was basically AG done right.
>>24434277
>Too many investments are being made in the wrong places if you keep extrapolating the anime based on the current status quo.
What the fuck does this even mean?
>>24434289
ok anon sit tight. It's gonna be a long story.
>>24434295
Am I an outcast if I don't like May?
>>24434306
Were you really expecting le bait man to have a mind capable of forming a sentence that makes sense?
>>24434311
Yes.
>>24434303
I like AG's humor better. AG's atmosphere was very similar to the OS, obviously because it came directly after, but it still had the focus on battles with Ash evolving his pokemon, May being consistently developed and Contests, as well.
Also Brock and Team Rocket were still funny in AG, which is more than you can say for what they became after.
>>24434226
they will have plenty after Alain stops being an edgy faggot
>>24434311
Is there any particular reason? Are you a bitter Misty fan?
>>24434307
Oh fuck. I'm ready.
>>24434316
Whelp.
>>24434314
I assume he's referring to the "connections" Serena/Clemont have. And how everything about Serena isn't just connected to Ash in some way?
>>24434322
But what good will it be if Manon is dead by then?
>>24434314
Are you aware that that was him replying to himself?
>>24434323
I just didn't like her personality. Honestly I'm not that big of a fan of any of the main pokegirls.
>>24434289
1. DP Ash was rebooted to idiot Ash for Unova like his journey was all new again in kanto
2. Iris, the female companion who i call jungle girl, is the worst companion of all time who spends her time making fun of ash by calling him a little kid when she is being a huge hypocrite by being an awful trainer herself
3. Terrible gay cook named Cilan whos the first gym leader with his 2 brothers who travels with Ash like Brock did who makes stupid comparisons to battles with food.
4. Ash loses a lot of battles
5. Annoying rival named Trip who is gary 2.0 and paul 2.0 mixed together in a bad way
6. Worst gym battle of all time next to Korrina where he has to use all 6 pokemon against Roxie who only uses 3 with the cheapest strategy ever by poisoning every pokemon as Ash barely wins.
6. Terrible league match between ash and trip in order to just participate in the unova league
7. Ash loses at his worst in the top 8
8. Oshawott a shit
I know there's more but i can't remember it all
>>24434330
No, because how would you jump to that conclusion based on what was said?
>>24434333
Nice trips, and I'm interested in seeing if Serena changes your mind.
>>24434336
Fuck you, Dent a bro.
>>24434336
>Worst gym battle of all time next to Korrina
I was with you until this bullshit claim.
>>24434336
>watching the dub
>>24434333
What kind of personality do you like then? I'm honestly curious. May probably had the perfect blend of all the females personality traits, because she could be both girly and tomboyish at the same time, she was feisty and cute, she could be badass or clumsy.
Honestly I thought May had the best balanced personality of them all. I mean I also really liked Dawn, Serena, and pre-Johto Misty, but May takes the cake.
>>24434345
now that im thinking about it, you're right, it is the worst gym match of all time, korrina being second
>>24434353
Elesa's was worst
>>24434336
>Charizard coming back and doing literally nothing
>Pokemon for the most part had flat personalities
>Letdown Team Plasma
>Elesa Gym battle
>Cameron
>Ending on a filler arc
>Shitty rivals overall besides Stephan
>>24434314
If you're writing a romance, you shouldn't give her connections to any other guy other than the one she's in love with (excluding relatives).
>>24434349
that was my other mistake anon. I didn't start watching the sub till Kalos started. I normally wouldve tried watching bw in japanese but the atrocity of the show being so bad, it isnt worth trying to watch it again. All i know that i missed was apparantly elesa in those seductive outfits she wore
This episode is so good, i love it
>>24434363
That's why you're not a writer, m8.
>>24434336
You forgot to mention the mishandled attempt to make Team Rocket into serious, competent, totally stoic villains
>>24434363
Do that and you get harem-tier shit writing.
>>24434336
Well fuck that's a lot. Thanks for typing all that up for me man. I'll continue to never see an episode of it.
>idiot Ash
That alone is enough for me.
>>24434338
Well I thought Dawn was ok.
I guess my tier list would be
Dawn>Misty>May (never seen an episode with Iris)
But really I don't love or hate any of them.
Serena looks cute though.
>>24434364
You got "Terrible gay cook named Cilan who makes stupid comparisons to battles with food." instead of fabulous gay bro Dent.
He was one of the few goodish things about BW. The dub fucked him over hard.
>>24434380
Didn't you say you stopped watching after Johto? How would you know anything about May then?
>>24434374
right. And yes, elesa and Ash's gym match was god awful since Ash was only thinking of using one pokemon for the entire match. be honest, what sexy scenes of elesa was in the japanese version that i missed. i made the horrible mistake of watching the dub before i started watching the subs in kalos
>>24434351
It's been a while since I watched the episodes with her so who knows if I would still feel the same way about her. I guess I just thought she was bland when I watched it. And I didn't like her dub voice.
>>24434328
>thinking manon is kil
nice meme
What's the deal with people saying Korrina's gym battle is shit?
The best Serena episodes are XY60, XY61 (pretty sure thats the one with the Elle battle) and XY80.
Prove me wrong.
>>24434389
I stopped watching religiously after johto. Still saw some episodes afterwards.
>>24434395
The only character with an even half decent dub voice, as far as I can remember, is Paul
>>24434380
yeah. Just continue from sinnoh onto kalos since Kalos ash is a huge upgrade from unova ash. Dawn is my second favorite character behind Serena. Dawn has the best friendship with Ash. The average order for us is this:
Serena>Dawn>May>Misty>Jungle Girl
>>24434398
Shitposters.
Pikachu vs Mega Lucario was fucking fantastic, don't let anyone tell you otherwise..
>>24434395
Veronica Taylor's May was voice was very cute and sweet. She put a lot of enthusiasm into May's character.
Probably one of the few dub voices I like almost as much as the Japanese Kaori voice.
>>24434398
this, its literally among the best in XY alongside Clemont & Ramos. Valerie is the worst gym battle.
>>24434381
not that anon, but I watched subs all I remember about Dent was his love of trains and his annoying 'this has x taste' gag
maybe he would have worked better if he'd been with a cast he could play off of a bit better, BW Ash was dumb as a rock and Iris was Iris
>>24434399
>Prove me wrong.
Sure. Serena vs Elle was XY64.
>>24434418
My bad then.
>>24434407
For me:
May > Dawn/Serena > Kanto/Orange Misty > Johto Misty > Iris.
Admittedly I like Serena more now than in the first year of XY, but Dawn's arc was a lot better.
>>24434398
>>24434408
im not shitposting at all. i explained in the last thread how i thought its cheap and pathetic that Korrina needs to use a mega evolved Lucario to fight Ash's pikachu and she still lost. if youre talking about the scenes and how the battle looked, its fantastic and the best so far, but in terms of how the rules were applied to korrina cheating like that when Ash doesn't have a mega evolved pokemon, is just pathetic and a cheap advantage. It tells me Korrina couldnt win the match without cheating, thats why i think korrina is the worst gym leader of all
>>24434422
>Ash is never allowed to beat or even face a mega because it means the other person needs to cheat
Idiot
>>24434422
>using a mega is cheating
That's like saying a gym leader is not allowed to use an evolved Pokémon if the challenger shows up only with stage 1s.
>>24434422
>korrina cheating like that when Ash doesn't have a mega evolved pokemon, is just pathetic and a cheap advantage
Ash had literally lost to her 3 times by then and he wanted to fight her at her best. what are you on anon?
>>24434422
>cheating
>>24434381
im that anon. I still didnt start watching the subs until kalos. I didn't know about the subs being so much better than the dubs till unova ended. I always knew the dubs were god awful since the new voice actors came in the middle of the battle frontier. Unova is too god awful that it isnt worth my time trying to watch the subs at this point. The only reason id consider it is to see how sexy elesa was in the episode of her show since apparantly the dubs took that scene off
>>24434416
Him using wine terminology to describe atmosphere and personality had a certain logic and charm to it.
The dub had to censor it all out because wine is alcoholic and we can't have that in Pokemon, so they had him say dumb shit like "he called that move with the care of a chef removing a hot souffle from an oven" and similar nonsense.
>>24434407
Got it.
And really I don't have any strong opinions of the pokegirls.I like the pokemon more.
That being said. Is the Braixen a cutie?
>>24434412
Ah I guess I might just have bad taste.
>>24434444
>Is the Braixen a cutie?
>>24434372
>>24434375
It make sense from a writing standpoint to give most of her connections to the guy she loves. Why give her connections with other guys if she's not in love with them?
Doing otherwise is contradictory writing.
>>24434444
>>24434430
>>24434434
>>24434436
>>24434437
>>24434445
mega evolving and just evolving are two completely different things. You can at least choose whether or not your pokemon will or will not mega evolve. Don't forget, Korrina just expects lucario to do his own thing by just yelling, "HIT!HIT!HIT!" she learned the hard way that its a dumb strategy and almost cried about it. When she finally learns to strategize she loses. Also it doesnt matter if pikachu lost before to lucario. If lucario gains so much more strength and speed as it mega evolves, and still loses to a pikachu who was already hurt before in battle after it quickly took down both hawlucha and hinoyakoma, then it shows lucario sucks. korrinas lucario made me start hating lucarios since they are actually overrated. Korrina in general is just a terrible trainer since she doesn't really help lucario with what to do until the gym match where she lost.
>>24434434
I would like to believe anime gym leaders choose specific pokemons according to their trainer impressions. Ash is a tough cookie so a Mega is a valid challenge choice
>>24434458
>>24434461
Well that's enough for me to start watching.
>>24434459
are you implying pikachu x nene will lead into something?
>>24434469
Foxfucker pls
>>24434464
>>24434468
Game gym leaders were stated to have different teams depending on the strenght of the challenger too.
>>24434464
You mean barely any damage at all? Not only that but after it had a Power-Up Punch boost you complete idiot?
>>24434459
Having Serena and Clemont's Pokemon interact seems to be just a way to give them SOME kind of connection. The two have little interaction and don't even seem like friends half of the time. It's almost as bad as Brock was with Dawn
Sorry for replying to bait
>>24434476
>Kill Bonnie
>>24434464
That doesn't mean that Korrina "cheated " (unless you have a different, autistic definition of what cheating is). That just means that either she's a shit leader that made her Mega Lucario lose to a Pikachu, or that Ash is great trainer that made his Pikachu win against a Mega Lucario.
Or both.
>>24434478
Just me, I wouldn't watch it if the fox was the only thing that interested me. From what you guys said it's actually worth watching.
>>24434476
>Bonnie not ending up with onii-chan
Absolutely disgusting fam
>>24434464
you can't accept Ash got gud?
>>24434482
dont forget, lucario gained more strength. i dont remember if her used power up punch or swords dance but he gains more strength and still lost. Thats my problem. You choose to mega evolve a pokemon to beat a pikachu and still lose. That really would hurt my pride. Thats how bad of a trainer korrina really is.
>>24434497
Trust*
>>24434484
Still waiting for Ash and Bonnie's bonding episode, can't stop the XY family train
>Nene
>doesn't own a Nenene
Tell me again why I shouldn't drop this shit.
>>24434509
Because Pikachu was stronger.
Now get off /vp/ Korrinas Lucario, you're shitposting.
>>24434398
Her Machoke and Mienfoo were fucking pathetic
>>24434489
when your pokemon just evolves, thats alright because you can't change that, it chooses to get stronger by evolving for you, but when you willingly use a lucarionite to mega evolve your lucario to fight pikachu even though he beat pikachu previously, it comes around like saying, oh i cant beat you, i need to mega evolve it and make it an unfair advantage since i can just choose to mega evolve it since you can't. its steroids for a pokemon. Korrina had the most boring arc ever as well. I wanted to like korrina but her story arc and the way she decided to battle ruined it for me. thats the only complaint i have about xy
>>24434498
>incest
>ever
degenerate
>>24434515
it literally ends in 2 episodes might as well finish it
>>24434489
Oh Korrina cheated, alright.
>>24434528
Which gave Bravest Ballerina her first Gym KO, to be fair.
Which reminds me. Since Ash is certain to use Talonflame against Wulfric, it will have been in every Gym besides the Browbowl. Ash sure loves that bird
That faggola here
How was the new episode
Did Serena win
Was Thick Lips good at allDid Swanna girl come back
Are you hype for next week
>>24434509
She mega evolved it to beat all three of Ash's Pokemon not just pikachu, and it was weakened a lot by a super effective flame charge from fletchinder
Mega luke still won two of three which is impressive given the flame charge. while pikachu beat mega luke without looking OP because pikachu was at full strength and mega luke was already weakened by flame charge
![[PM]Pocket_Monsters_XY_032_Mega_Lucario_VS_Mega_Lucario!_A_Storm_of_Wave_Guidance!![H264_720P][EA7584B4].mkv_snapshot_21.04_[2015.10.08_15.55.08].png](https://i.imgur.com/Z89rJfP.jpg "[PM]Pocket_Monsters_XY_032_Mega_Lucario_VS_Mega_Lucario!_A_Storm_of_Wave_Guidance!![H264_720P][EA7584B4].mkv_snapshot_21.04_[2015.10.08_15.55.08].png")
>>24434531
git gud faggot
>>24434527
if pikachu was stronger, how did lucario beat it 2 or 3 times before the gym match? Even if Lucario and korrina were trying a new strategy by giving commands more often, don't you think its the same for ash? he always tries new strategies to beat his opponents, but add in a mega pokemon who powers up even more, and still loses? both korrina and lucario are god awful as a trainer and gym leader. Look at the other gym leaders, they dont need to use mega evolution to beat and defend their gym, korrina does. It shows she cant win without it. If Ash had the chance to mega evolve one of his pokemon to face mega lucario, then it would be a totally different opinion for me. I'd love that so much and id be here today saying it was probably the best of all, but when its lopsided, then its pathetic and cheap
>>24434545
Episode was alright, yea she won but otherwise it was kinda boring
People are hype for next week for sure nigga
>>24434540
"that wasn't my lucario"
>>24434545
episode was meh/ok
of course serena won
she was on for too little
no nene was her replacement
yes
>>24434484
The point is, Serena and Clemont don't NEED a connection at all. She isn't romantically interested in him
>>24434546
>a lot
It was barely weakened at all, when it guarded Pikachu's Iron Tail (which it resisted by 4x) with a Bone Rush and still got fucked up in the process.
>>24434554
Because Pikachu git gud? Isn't that an easy question?
>>24434555
>>24434557
So who's attacking SycamoreIs it Hex Maniac or TF
>>24434545
Yes, you are.
Could've been better.SíDepends on what lips are you talking about.______________No______________
Keeping myself in check.
>>24434568
Animation wise
Clemont > Korrina > Viola > Grant > Ramos > Valerie
Strategy/Battle wise
Ramos (fucker used a Chlorophyll strat in the anime) > Clemont (dat Heliolisk) > Viola (badass Surskit ice field) > Korrina (Focus Miss Guts Machoke) > Valerie (sets Trick Room, then just dicks about not using it) > Grant (I can't even remember what it was outside of shoot meteors/rocks everywhere)
>>24434554
She lost because her other two pokemon were shit, not because she or her lucario is shit
The mega luke nearly took out all three of ash's mons even after getting hit by a super effective flame charge. It was picking up the slack for mienfoo and machoke, those two are the weaklings here, not lucario
>>24434569
random chick then Olympia shows up doing a better ayy lmao impression than valerie
>>24434546
dude, lucario was barely affected by flame charge which is also a weak fire type attack mainly meant for rasing your speed. It took an iron tail thats 4x's weaker to a steel and fighting type, and still lost after all of his attacks failed against pikachu at the end. now think, bone rush to the head vs iron tail which is barely effective at all, and yet pikachu wins. pikachu is strong but obviously mega lucario is stronger. it shows how bad mega lucario and korrina are overall.
>>24434564
>24434564
The group would be a whole lot cozier if we got more Ash/Bonnie and Serena/Clemont friendship stuff though
>>24434569
All the womenand menhe's fucked and gave gonorrhea to

It was pretty boring, a lot of time was wasted on the quiz portion and Eevee being ridiculous. It had a few cute moments scattered in it, Meowth winning without cheating was nice, what little of Shauna's performance we saw was cute, and it didn't have too many QUALITY moments like the Tyrantrum episode. Even though I dislike Eevee, that part of the episode was nicely animated.
Serena did win.
Nene lost within the first round.

lucario WAS affected a lot by the flame charge. it even said so in the dialogue AND it's super effective against lucario which is a steel type.
just stop you are making yourself look like an idiot, it's like you didn't watch the episode
>>24434554
Because Mega Lucario was better off battling on his own and Korrina was shit at handling its Mega Evo. And her other Pokemon weren't a great thing, either. And XY's Ash is that good.
You're one of those guys who never liked Mega Evolutions in the first place, right?
>disliking puffiest vulva
C'mon thread.
>>24434609
Flying types aren't really "immune" to ground type attacks, it's just how flying types are mostly skybound and not on the ground thus can't be "hit" by the ground.
If you use Roost and then the opponent does a ground type attack, you can get hit by them still.
>>24434534
>not wanting best ending
shit taste tbh
>>24434576
>She lost because her other two pokemon were shit
dude, hawlucha took a lot of damage by them as well as hinoyakoma. Granted they were sluggish trying the dancing tactics from tierno, but calling them shit and bad overall is an insult. they did their job to weaken them and set them up for lucario, who still lost to a pikachu. thats my problem. personality wise i dont hate korrina at all, i hate her as a trainer and gym leader. flame charge is a weak fire type move to begin with. its main purpose is to raise its speed. its only a 50 physical power fire type attack.
>>24434575
>Grant
trap fast opponents in rock tomb then squish. sadly Ash had already planned ahead after seeing it used once and made counter strat that rendered it (and aura sphere) moot. korrina had no strategy besides "hit hard, use mega" which is why Ash had her 3-0 until the mega came out.
>>24434609
More common sense than in the games tbh.
>>24434625
Mud Shot and Mud Bomb kinda nix that theory
>>24434623
it's either a shitposter or some idiot who has no clue about type advantages/disadvantages or korrina's other pokemon
plus he keeps saying Pikachu was already weakened which is false, and acts like lucario was fresh which is false
>>24434609
What, you expected the bone to phase through Luchabro?
>>24434615
theyre going to think that but just stating it doesnt guarantee it dude. i can say the same thing but it doesnt one hit ko them. remember lucario has a better defense than special defense and flame charge is physical, add that to a mega evolution, then youre going to take less damage overall.
>>24434609
don't take the game's type match up too seriously
flying type pokemon are immune to ground attacks because they can fly to dodge them, but realistically flying types could still get hit if they are on the ground (eg: charizard taking damage from golem's magnitude while on the ground and had to fly to avoid taking more damage)
hawlucha can't fly and bone rush is just hitting your opponent with a bone lightsaber so there's no reason why hawlucha should be immune to it
>>24434642
>What, you expected the bone to phase through Luchabro?
more dissipate/shatter on contact
like Trick Room did
>>24434353
In my opinion, that gym battle was complete bullshit with Mega Lucario who used to rape his pokemon losing on a 1v1 against Pikachu, but at least Ash didn't go full retard.
the dancing shit was shit, I agree, but it wasn't that bad because it only lasted for the beginning with jobbing bird.
>>24434629
The 50 is doubled to 100 because fletchinder has the type advantage against lucario
plus 50 isn't "weak" to begin with...20 or 30 is weak
a weakened mega lucario lost to a fresh Pikachu. that's what happened, that's what the freaking dialogue says, that's what the type advantages and math says but you're ignoring all of it
Who's writing next week's episode
>>24434593
Any Serena/Clemont stuff would just lead to shipping stuff anyway. The less of it the better.
Their Pokemon always only bonding with each other isn't a good sign
>>24434652
Mega luke lost to pikachu because it was weakened already by a non trivial amount against ash's other Pokemon. How many times does it have to be said?
>>24434668
Ignore "You're a big guy"
Unless you're actually a big guy irl. Post height.
I just realized, what about Blaziken Mask, does anyone think he'll sjow up in this TF arc?Will he protect Clemont and Bonnie?
>>24434652
thank you. If Ash had a pokemon he could mega evolve to face mega lucario, id have a different opinion overall. I would be here today saying it was the best gym match ever! but having one mega evolve and the other not, shows its a cheap tactic that she cant win without an unfair advantage
>>24434657
like i said, take into consideration that in the show, it doesnt always follow the power of an attack while adding defense to mega lucario in the show, and dont forget, pikachu was at a disadvantage because of bone rush which is super effective and still won against mega lucario. thats my problem. If you mega evolve your pokemon against someone who cant, you're just telling me you're too soft and cant handle the battle without an unfair advantage
>>24434657
125, it's STAB.
>>24434685
No, its 150, STAB + SE = 150.
But move base power is not taken into account into the anime (and it shouldn't be).
>>24434676

>>24434704
pretty much. She basically cant beat Ash unless its with an unfair advantage. That's my only complaint about mega evolution that should be fixed with a new rule. You can only mega evolve one pokemon in a battle if the opponent can mega evolve one of his pokemon too
>>24434684
But pikachu wasn't hit by bone rush. It was hit by aura sphere and it blocked a bone rush with iron tail
>it doesnt always follow the power of an attack while adding defense to mega lucario in the show
It DOES follow here, for the 100th time the explicitly says so in the dialogue to clarify that flame charge was super effective and dealt a lot of damage, serena and korrina both have lines of dialogue that explicitly point this out. that is the canon explanation, and what you're saying is "Wahh, it doesn't feel right, therefore it's officially wrong and the battle sucks!"
There is no distinction between choosing to mega evolve and choosing to use a fully evolved mon. That's an artificial barrier you're drawing. basically all gym battles should then consist of pokemon of the same evolution stage because otherwise it's cheating. you're a moron
>>24434666
never mind I got it
>Tomioka
oh FUCK
>>24434434
They actually use their pokemon depending their opponent. Citron only brought Bunnelby to fight against Hoenn scrub.
>>24434554
Because Lucario had an offscreen battle against Hawlucha, whose Flying Press is 4x effective against him, and Fletchinder hit him with a Flame Charge. Keep in mind that Flame Charge was casually destroying cliffs during the Fletchinder battle, so it's as strong as Lucario's bone rush, which destroyed a mountain top.
Pikachu was also exerting himself far more in this fight than in the previous ones. That scene where Pikachu let off a massive electrical discharge meant that he's taking it way more serious than the previous battles.
Also, the last two battle were casual matches, and Ash is obviously going to care more about winning a gym battle since more is at steak.
>>24434704
>>24434713
if he knew absol could mega evolve he would have asked her to use it anyways
>>24434713
Then I have a rule...you can't use a fully evolved pokemon against a not fully evolved pokemon. whether the evolution is permanent or not is irrelevant, what matters is that you can choose to use it or not use it
>>24434718
youre the idiot who still doesnt understand my point. If a pokemon just evolves, thats fine, you cant change that, the pokemon is evolving for you to keep fighting, but when you choose to mega evolve them against their will to fight, thats pathetic and cheap. you indirectly admit you cant win unless you have an unfair advantage. thats why it should be a rule where you can only mega evolve a pokemon if the opponent can mega evolve their pokemon as well
>>24434676
If you were writing Amour, would you make her Pokemon connected to Ash or Clemont.
It only makes sense to do it ONLY with Ash because of their subplot unless you have ulterior motives.
>>24434727
Yes, but they do that because they're nice, there's no rule about it.
>>24434740
again your point is meaningless. whether the evolution is permanent or not is irrelevant. with your logic anyone could say it's cheating to use a fully evolved mon against a non fully evolved mon
>>24434680
I want to know why does he wear the mask.
>>24434738
youre still not getting the point. youre bringing up random excuse at this point involving normal pokemon when the trainer knows that you can choose any pokemon in any evolution stage except mega evolution. Imagine this, someone uses a normal pokemon, against another normal pokemon. he is about to lose, he decides fuck it ill mega evolve and he wins. thats just stupid and cheap and i consider it cheating since he cant win without it. he cant win in a fair 1v1. thats how i feel about korrina. she indirectly proved she cant win without it
>this much complaining about the hypest moment in the series so far which shat all over a status quo established in DP and painfully enforced in BW which the added bonus of also being the first battle where a mega is defeated by a non-mega

So long fellow pokemon.
>>24434772
It's his own fault for not mega evolving it earlier then. It's not cheap, it's a choice he is free to make when he wants to make it.
>>24434773
>not realizing that it's just one autist and his hatred for Mega Evolution
>>24434763
so youre just admitting you cant win a battle without a cheap advantage that needs a mega evolution. youre just tossing aside the statements i made with another excuse that doesnt fit my terms at all. its if i said i send in 2 pokemon against one of yours. youre trying to make it sound that way when it isnt. korrina is a bad trainer overall and the second worst gym match right behind roxie
>>24434788
>the Anistar gym girl read this post and went to stop Bunnelby from pumping tourists at the sundial full of Mud Shots
>>24434773
it's literally one shitter who keeps saying mega evolution is "unfair" because "it's not permanent!" he already showed us he doesn't understand what actually happened in that battle, he ignored the canon of the anime and all the type advantages, and he draws an arbitrary line between which forms of evolution are "cheating" because "uhhh mega evolution isn't permanent!"
So anons, with this "ominous" feel, what do you think realistically could or will (or what do you want to) be made out of it?
>ominous
>giving the worrying impression that something bad is going to happen; threateningly inauspicious.
>>24434797
i dont fully agree with this guy, but i do see his point. hes just some nerd who has his own ego on winning. i find korrina boring overall because of her arc training to contain mega lucario's battle. other than that im fine with it.
So Olympia speaks in haikuoh boy
>>24434826
Can't wait.
The people in this thread don't know who Hainchu is, poor fools.
>>24434655
>>24434801
nope, didn't admit anything. it's not a "cheap" advantage at all. mega evolving is a something that a trainer must work hard to achieve, just as a trainer must work hard to get his pokemon to evolve to the last stage.
sending in a second pokemon isn't even comparable at all. not sure what you're smoking
>>24434801
>second worst gym battle
The animation quality alone makes it better than 2/3 of all the gym battles.
And either you're a really try hard baiter which would be pretty pathetic or you think a gym battle is the worst only because you hate the gym leader and completely ignore the other factors that determine if its a good gym battle or not. Which is fucking retarded.
>>24434835
Fuck off Scott
>>24434363
The moral is that women and men can be friends just fine, Anon; you don't have to have sex with all of them.
;^)
>>24434841
like i said, if you fight someone who cant mega evolve when you can, its being soft and you cant win without it. just denying it yourself doesnt prove your point
>>24434869
if you're using a fully evolved Pokemon to fight someone who has NFE mon, that proves you're weak and have an unfair advantage because you need a stronger pokemon to win
now fuck off
>>24434845
i explained before saying if youre talking about animations and how the battle looks, its one of the best if not the best overall, but trainer wise between korrina and lucario who lost to a pikachu, shes the worst behind roxie which was a bullshit battle that made me hate unova even more
>>24434869
>No one should ever be allowed to use a stronger Pokemon because that just proves they're weak and trying to cheat!
>>24434880
lucario lost to pikachu after being significantly weakened, per the ANIME CANON
>>24434888
>Mega Evolution is just a cheap tactic to make weak Pokemon stronger
>>24434875
>>24434888
your logic is just bad with that excuse. those pokemon can fully powerup and evolve to be powerful, but when theyre both fully evolved and one mega evolves, then thats just cheap. you guys keep using the same excuse that doesnt fit with this logic. you guys lost anyways.
>>24434875
Hawlucha must be a weakling then
>>24434898
because being able to slow hinoyakoma with its arms and barely being pushed aside counts as so much damage overall with a move meant for increasing speed against a mega evolved lucario.
>>24434899
uh im not the one arguing that anon, our autistic whiny friend is the one who is. i was calling him out for that, not espousing it myself
>>24434412
tbh I'm going to agree with Scott.
Rewatching AG has made me wonder if she enjoyed voicing May more than Ash.
>>24434901
if a trainer doesn't have a mega evolved pokemon to use against their opponent's mega, that's his own damn fault for not getting one, not the fault of his opponent. now fuck off.
>>24434912
I know, I'm on your side here
I was just adding my bit inimprovising on a Lesbian Space Rock Drama quote
>>24434918
it was a nice change of pace. Ash isnt bad but when you get to try different personalities, it gets to be more enjoyable
>>24434899I know that this is a Steven Universe reference.
>>24434927ayy
>>24434920
that doesnt mean shit. Since a mega lucario still lost to a pikachu that has no buffs, or cant mega evolve, it shows how pathetic lucario really is as well as korrina who still couldnt win with an advantage, fair or not in your case
>>24434901
>you guys lost anyways
>>24434933
>all this autism
Just drop that shit already and look forward to the new gym battle in two weeks instead.
>>24434939
I'm hyped
>>24434910
it doesn't matter whether in your own personal universe that flame charge is weak. officially it's not weak. and it doesn't matter whether licario was holding up his hands. the move still hit, and it still dealt a lot of damage, and korrina and serena both stated so in order to inform the viewers.
>>24434933
it lost to pikachu after being weakened SIGNIFICANTLY by a move with STAB of 150. your head canon that flame charge is "weak" does not apply.
>>24434875
I'm sure you will enjoy next gym battle when Ash's Brogadier evolves to Greninja plus the dark type immunity. Hope you enjoy your stroke
>>24434865
But if you are writing a romance, you give more connections to the guy she's in love with.
>>24434950
I just wanna see my waifu in action
>>24434956
And that's why you are not a writer, mon.
>>24434933
no, it shows that mega lucario lost to one pokemon after defeating two of ash's, which actually shows its strength. and it finally lost only after it suffered a lot of damage at the hands of ash's fletchinder
>>24434944
not that anon but they dont exactly use those stats in the anime. theyve broken those rules numerous times in different battles before
>>24434964
so basically saying, if Ash had a mega evolved pokemon, he would pulverize that mega lucario.
>>24434941
>finally new HD shots of Olympia!
>she's fucking terrifying
>>24434965
in this battle they didn't break that rule. when serena literally says "[that flame charge] was super-effective!" and korrina remarks how powerful the flame charge was, that's what matters, not some autist whose head canon says "flame charge is weak because i say so, i don't care what the anime canon says!"
