Anyway, how did the episode go exactly?
Heard my niggah had Dragon Claw all along but what about the others?
Did Ash faint for the 5th episode in a raw again?
>>26289161
3-2 in favor of Shota. Our Shota has grown up a lot.
>>26289161
Ash started alright, Clawitzer and Mega Launcher shit, Ash couldn't trigger Ash Greninja, got distracted because of that, and Shota took that distraction to beat him.
>>26289170
I hope he's a nice person from the get-go and not the stereotypical jerky and gruff fat man with a heart of gold.
>>26289180
Pretty much this. Also
>hawlucha jobbed
>>26289170
>barafags will fill bara threads with Wulfric sitting on ice throne images
>>26289170
He needs a bra
What Pokemon should Ash have used against Clawitzer instead of Jobberlucha?
>>26289201
He needs abara
>>26289203
Pikachu?
>>26289040
She's cute as fuck /padt/
Sorry serena!
Rawr: http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=811007
>>26289203
That fight was good experience for Ash against Clawitzer. Taught him about Mega Launcher. Come League he'll probably use a Pokemon like Buizel to take it out.
>>26289180
>>26289178
>Ash got distracted
Looks like Ash wanted to experience battle lust again, or the very least has become overly-reliant on Ash-Greninja.
So in this battle with Wulfric, I'm assuming, since he makes of Ash-Greninja, he becomes overconfident/over-relies on Ash-Greninja. and lose.
My internet is shit, so I cannot watch the preview right now, but Ash uses Talonflame on Avalugg, right? And later uses Ash-Greninja on it as well. Looks like Ash really has become dependent on Ash-Greninja.
>>26289161
>Doublade v Noivern
Close battle for Noivern.
>Clawitzer v Noivern
Easy for Mega man.
>Clawitzer v Hawlucha
Shota easily lured Ash.
>Clawitzer v Greninja
One-hit K.O. ice-beam-pearcing ninja style.
>Sceptile v Greninja
Shota dominated, Ash got distracted trying to trigger synchro and lost even harder.
>the one anon that mentioned about Serena seeing that it's starting to affect Ash was right
>Serena doesn't bother paying attention to Clemont
>>26289187
Well, you can't have Noivern job all the time.
>>26289219
Hello bait-kun.
>>26289224
The thing is Ash is seen using all three of his mons against Avalugg. I am unable to process how that happened when Hawlucha is seen battling Obama too.
>>26289229
Clemont notices these things with Ash as well, that's why whenever Ash has started using Greninja since MegaBowl2 we've seen him focus in on Ash in case something happens to him.
Someone tweeted the Japan Twitter trend and the current episode had 14.9k. Didn't XYZ 22 have over 30k?
>>26289219
I don't think I've seen anyone here claim otherwise.
>>26289241
Ash can switch Pokemon while the Gym Leader is unable to do so.
Qt
>>26289244
I didn't mean in the physical sense. Even then, shit happens and it's Serena and Pikachu that bolt there.
>>26289229
What do you mean? They all look worried. Clemont has noticed it too.
>yfw I don't want Ash to suffer more but knows that he needed to lose.
;_;
>>26289249
34k and first place
>>26289249
15K now.
>>26289226
>Ash not using Pikachu against Clawitzer
Did they agree on what Pokemon to use beforehand with Ash telling Shota what he'll use first?
>>26289241
Considering Ash-Greninja is fighting Avalugg I guess something like this:
Hawlucha vs Abomasnow
Hawlucha vs Avalugg
Talonflame vs Avalugg
Ashninja vs Avalugg
>Ash goes bananas and the synchro shuts down withouth him faiting, then he gets BTFO withouth.
Also, if we get Pikachu for the rematch (fucker hasn't fought since Luminose) can he please use Volt Tackle?
>>26289307
He had a battle not too long ago with Jimmy.
>>26289278
>>26289287
Man that disparity.
>>26289313
My bad, I was talking about Gym battles. And him sitting out during 3 gyms, specially during the last one is quite rare.
What has happened to Hawlucha? Does he now only exist to lose?
>>26289340

>>26289332
I mean XY&Z 22
>>26289333
Froakie/Frogadier sat out on 4 gym battles, that niggah Pikachu better stay put and give other Pokemon like Noivern a shot at beating a gym.
>>26289379
But Noivern will never beat a gym, we all know Greninja will beat the next one.

Shit, son, even BW Ash wouldn't be this stupid.
>>26289406
Beating a gym is a team effort, anon.

>>26289379

Again, we're talking about Pikachu.

Even with flamethrower Noivern would be glass cannon against Wulfric>yfw new starters are Grass/Flying Fire/Dark and Water/Psychic
>>26289421
Hawlucha sure helped the team a lot in today's battle.
>>26289454

Expect some news from the official site soon, though.

>>26289666
I did use it, but then I switched back to new after I kept getting nothing but the two-word squiggly-line ones that are illegible to the point where you literally have to get through about 6 or 7 of them before you by some fluke get it right.
You know that one Naruto webm that's posted in anime fight webm threads?
This gave me a massive vibe similar to that. We actually Naruto now.

Can someone more competent than me translate what Ohashi and Nishiya are saying ?
I don't know if they are specifically talking about Pokemon or not, but Ohashi is talking about some "finale" coming soon, to what Nishiya (jokingly?) responds he "leaves the rest to him". Given the context, I think they do mean XY&Z.
From the way I understand it, I'm afraid they won't work on the next generation, but I could be wrong.Also, there is some strong homolust between Master and Pupil.
>>26289409

>tfw ash greninja and serena are getting dropped in a few months
I don't want it to end this quickly
>>26290277
>we will go back to ash being a total shitter
>ash will never be this great again
Serena confirmed that Greninja was able to fight evenly with Gardevoir. As if it was not obvious enough.
>>26290309
>we will go back to ash being a total shitter
>implying
Serena and frog can be dropped, but Ash will be as strong as in XYZ.
Satoshi got carried away. He doubted because he relied on the power of the transformation, causing him to lose his edge. He didn't know about how it wasn't hapopening before and now that he knows, he tried to force it instead of letting it come like he always used to, which caused the gap between the battle pulses.
>>26290244
It looks like it has a neat pocket to carry things in.
Speaking of which, where does she put all these pokemon clothes?
>tfw Hawlucha jobbed again
At least it's a more entertaining/less depressing jobber than Torterra..
>>26290013
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Reminder that Hawlucha is Ash's Kalosmon with the highest amount of battles, so it's normal if he loses more often. He also wins more often than the others.
>>26290550
Let's also mention that he single-handedly won twice against Gym Leader mons that he's weak against (Citron and Mache Gym battles)
Anyone else relieved that Sawyer won here? He probably won't beat Ash at the league now.
Noivern
>Supersonic
>Acrobatics
>Boomburst
>Dragon Claw
It's the current moveset right? Speaking of which, Ash own version of Dragon Claw command like Alan when?
>>26290646
It's right.
>mfw it had just Supersonic and Tackle until 16 episodes ago
It's still lacking coverage against Steel type, but at least it gets STAB on both Acrobatics and Dragon Claw so it's not that bad.
>ash-greninja goes toe-to-toe with the champ's mega gardevoir
>wulfric kicks its ass with a regular abomasnow
>it can mega evolve
powerlevels don't make sense
>>26290644
Probably one with synchro rowlet would beat him
>>26290704
Synchro level not strong enough.
>>26290704
Synchro power fluctuates like a wave, like valleys and peaks, as seen in the battle pulse, when Ash forces it into a straight line then you'll have proper power levels.
>>26290704
It kicks his ass with an Avalugg actually, and obviously Ash won't be able to go full power in the first match.
I do agree that power levels are kinda fucked right now. It's okay since Greninja hasn't been able to go full power again after Diantha and Ash was out of it during this latest battle, but logically if they get back to vs Diantha strenght and remove the fainting limitation, nothing in Kalos short of Perfect Zygarde should be able to stop Ash Greninja at that point.
So you're saying we're 5 episodes behind from raw? What the hell is taking the subbers so long?
>>26290715
>Synchro rowlet
kek
Damn, I prefer when Satoshi goes full keikaku and shows battle ability. Compared to XY where Satoshi was almost unmatched and could turn heavily disadvantageous situations in his favor, XY&Z had Satoshi make a lot of plot-oriented obvious mistakes. Onvern vs. Metang, then Onvern vs. Nidangill, and Luchabul vs. a Pokemon that is HIGHLY likely to have Ice Beam. The plot is currently bringing Satoshi a few seasons back.
>>26290850
He will return to his unbeatable mode after XY&Z28.
>>26290850
>Onvern vs. Metang
Ash put Noivern out first.
>Onvern vs. Nidangill
But he won.
>Luchabul vs. a Pokemon that is HIGHLY likely to have Ice Beam
That's what he gets for neglecting Pikachu so much.
>>26290850
>>26290850
He is over-relying on Ash-Greninja, HE LUSTS TOO MUCH FOR IT'S POWER.

Wufric won't even get to use Cryogonal in this battle.
Cryogonal might be his first pokemon in the rematch though
>>26290894
Fighting a Ghost/Steel with Onvern was still dumb. If anything, it shows that he didn't learn the lesson when he fought Alan's own Steel type.
>>26290907
He definitely acting like a little kid with a new toy now. It's so cool and so effective that he relies too much on it and it's costing him.
>>26290968
They toy is pretty fucking cool though
>>26290704
At 100% synchro, they were able to match Diantha's Mega Gardevoir. At 50%, they one-shotted Sceptile but still lost against Alan's MZard.
It fluctuates.
I hope to see Bloodlust Ash in the Snowbelle Gym rematch.
>>26290961
I hope Ash Greninja at least gets a double K.O. on Avalugg so that Wulfric still wins without even having to send Cryogonal out but doesn't get a clean sweep with Avalugg.
>>26290961
Cryogonal could be his first mon that Hawlucha also murders
>>26290968
>Fighting a Ghost/Steel with Onvern was still dumb. If anything, it shows that he didn't learn the lesson when he fought Alan's own Steel type.
I agree that he should've just picked Talonflame, but he already stated Noivern needs battle experience and overpowering Steel types is one hell of strenght training. You know Ash doesn't care about type disadvantages too much.
>>26291005
Doubtful, why hide the first matchup from either preview and Pokéfan? And it'll be more impactful is Wulfric doesn't even have to use all three mons.
>>26291029

>>26290143
>>26291022
Yeah, I also figured that Satoshi was thinking more about getting battle experience for his Mons than actually winning this time around.
It could also be the scenarists' choice to have Onvern fight a lot right now because we won't see him in the next fights, just to balance screentime.
The question now is: What about Pikachu?
:^)
I'm laughing at how Pikachu isn't being used for anything right now
>>26291068
Pikachu dies in the storm while searching for Ash, Ash finds Greninja, they fug and he doesn't notice Pikachu's absence until Goodra returns to his team a couple episodes later and he's surprised by the fact that he still doesn't have a full team of six.
>>26291090
Fuck Pikachu
>>26291111
>>26291090
Well, that's not true either. Pikachu did fight against Shota's Honedge and we also had the Pikachu vs. Pikachu episode. It's just quite pale.
In fact, even Talonflame hasn't been of much use since Greninja went 行くぜ!
>>26291132
Talonflame is strange because he got seven gym battles out of eight but she has never been used in a rival battle aside from the pathetic Trevor one. She's the only one who's never been used against Shota in particular (while Hawlucha and Greninja got four battles each, Pikachu got two and Noivern got one.
>>26291154
*she got seven gym battles
>>26291154
>Brave Bird could eat Sceptile and Doublade for breakfast anyday
>LET'S GO WITH WATER HENSHIN
Why OP has no links for raws of today's ep yet?
Because the raws came out later. You'd know if you actually read the thread.
I want to protect that smile.
>>26291154
She's Ash secret weapon alongside Goodra against Shota.
>>26291241
which one?
>>26291254
Not sure how Goodra's gonna fare against his Clawitzer seeing as how it knows both Dragon Pulse and Ice Beam. It should be quite a good counter to Talonflame as well.
>>26291254
>*Shota sends out Sceptile*
>Let's do this again Satoshi!
>Satoshi: "Yeah sure!"
>*sends out Brave Bird*
>distressed-Shota-face.jpg
>>26291289
Goodra is here to one-shoot Shota's Salamence.
>>26291309
Point is, Ash must play his cards perfectly to not lose to Shota in the League.
Why is Sushi so lazy?
>it's a "let's make a background worthy of being in an art gallery that will only be on screen for a few seconds" episode
Sorry if I can't into stitching, various parts of the background seem to scroll at different speeds for some reason so it's not perfect.
Think the gym is the building on the side of the mountain?
>>26291348
They don't have any incentive. Why don't they just make a patreon if money is all it'd take for some god damned subs these days.
>Muh subs when?
>[PM] is subbing XY&Z. Their releases can happen any time of the week.
What a joke. we're lucky to get two eps a month these days.
>>26291370
>for some reason
Oh duh, the first few rows of trees in the foreground are on a layer ahead of the rest. Don't know what to do do about it unfortunately.
>>26291370
so fucking beautiful.
>>26291377
Fansubbing can't be done for money.
>>26291370
>artbook never
>>26291417
Why not team up with some anons and do the artbook yourselves? I would eventually be interested if you keep at nice shots like this one.
>>26291154
>Talonflame evolved for literally saving Ash's life from insane Moltres
>Ash literally jumped into fucking lava to save Talonflame
>somehow the pepe have a greater bond with ash
Why the fuck we don't get Ash's Talonflame or something?
>both evolutions were the best in the whole history of the anime
>>26291415
>make patreon saying you're doing literally anything else
>put money into subbing
idk fame I just want to understand the show. It's just not fair that they waited this late game to go "fuck it". We're in the last stretches and they stopped running.
>>26291472
>>somehow the pepe have a greater bond with ash
Did you forget that Frogadier saved both their asses in that circumstance?
>>both evolutions were the best in the whole history of the anime
Agreed.
>>26291638
>red cap
Finally, fanart that has some decency.
>Shota finally beats Ash
>Now travelling with Ash
Reminder: Ash and Shota will go to the next region together.
>>26291638
No if she'll copy chickenhead girl I hope she copies her haircut too
>>26291748
The only good thing to come out of this episode is hope for this scenario to be real.
>>26291748
Everybody either wants to be with Ash or wants to be Ash.
>>26291748
>we'll never know if Shota is with Ash in an episode since Ohtani is always credited as Pikachu
I wonder if he'll stick around until XY&Z29. Would be strange if he left after Ash loses, especially if Greninja immediately runs away and Ash follows him.
>>26291748
Somebody post that alola trio art
>>26291579
Yes but still.
Please don't make Talonflame jobs against the Ice lord, writers. i want my based bird to be stronk.
>>26291783
Sorryrohanite, from what we've seen in the previews, Talonflame is destined to job at least in the first match. Seems to be the middle mon taken out by Avalugg.
>>26291748
>>26291758
I think it'd the best for Ash because, Shota knows how strong Ash is.
I want a fresh new anime with chicken head girl
>>26291472
Goodra also did the same.
>Goomy evolved because Ash was going to protect it from Grumpig and took an iron tail for Goomy
>Evolved to Goodra to save Ash/Serena from being burned alive
>>26291154
Ash's birds usually get no love.
Wulfric is for ___
>>26291855
>Ash's birds usually get no love.
Is Lucha the bird with the most focus ever?
>>26291776
>Greninja runs away
>We get an episode of Ash alone trying to find him as Pikachu, Serena, Shota, and Lemons try to chase after Ash
>>26291863
Defeating.
>>26291866
Possibly, though this season it's just been greninja pandering, but back in XY both Lucha and Talonflame got enough screen time. Lucha was also somewhat relevant for having Noibat evolve.
>>26291834
Tough luck trying to break the most powerful status quo in the anime right now
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE
>>26291855
Goodra is kinda meh desu senpaislugfucker destroyed it to me
I just want more Talonflame. Really. my favorite pokemon. ;_;
>>26291821who the fuck is rohanite
Fucking hell
>>26291638
I want to believe, don't know if that black hair Luna can be good enough to replace Serena.
>>26291638
Holy shit cuuteee, i want this in the next season.
>>26291638
You know what I'm gonna hate the most? Not even the blatant death flag for Serena we just got, I'm going to hate that everything Ash has accomplished like the fucking Synchro shit with Greninja giving him the power to beat the fuck out a champion is going to get shit on just for the sake of the "new adventure", fuck he just can go with this team he has and wreck the shit out of everyone in Alola. Fuck this fuck everything I don't wanna keep watching this shit I feel like this dense motherfucker has made finally a hell lot of progress about his skills on Pokemon Battles and Training, is not fucking fair making him abandon all this shit again and start as a fucking noob.
>>26292128
I want him to win the league and beat diantha anon, then he becomes a master. Only then his journey can end and we move on with new MC.
>>26292128
>abandon all this shit again and start as a fucking noob
Well we do this all the time when we start to play a new game, is part of the fun, is not fun to start a game with a full team in level 100, i guess is the same for the anime.
>>26292128
That's some pasta potential
>>26291505
It's just Sushi that's totally disinterested in translating episodes at the moment, the rest of the team seem motivated enough. Sad to say this does seem like the end though. Can't do much subbing without a translator.
So, how was the episode?
Great Good? Ok? Lame? Meh?
Now that Ash-Greninja is kill, is it time for hoots?
>>26292247
Subarashi
>>26292247
Fairly good but you can feel the plot contrivance. But this is for the sake of the drama so it's fine, I guess. At least, The Bat beat a fucking Steel type this time.
>>26292271
No,it's time for ash to realize he can't depend on just greninja
>>26292271
I hope he gets it. It's fucking cute.
The cat will probably end up some huge furbait shit like fennekin and Popplio looks silly as fuck, if he wear to get that we could be in for another BW . or worst he gets all three.
>>26292343
>wear
*were
>>26291638
>midriff-bearing Serena
Well. Sushi loses interest at the best point of the anime. Meanwhile we're 5 fucking episodes behind and we dont understand shit.
