XY&Z032: The Kalos League Begins! Mega Charizard Showdown: X VS Y!! (Jun 30th)
>The Kalos League finally begins! The participants in the league are all tough Trainers who have each gathered 8 badges, and among them are Shota, Tierno and Trevor, Trainers Ash and his friends have met before. Ash gets more and more excited, but then a Trainer suddenly challenges him to a battle.
XY&Z033: Mega Sceptile VS Raichu! I Received Some EXP!! (Jul 7th)
>Fierce fights happen one after another in the Kalos League. Shota and Tierno go up against each other over a place in the semifinals. Shota has also made a personal analysis of Tierno, who specializes in a rhythm strategy that uses dancing to stay in sync with his Pokémon, and makes full use of it as he goes up against him. Both of them fight furiously with neither giving an inch, and the battle eventually comes down to the last Pokémon on each side. But then Ash and his friends spot something... but what?

Serena a best.
>>26685088
Long hair Serena best Serena.
Let's do this again.
How would Ash's previous league teams had been like if they had had the same pattern of his Kalos team?
>Pikachu
>FE starter
>FE regional bird
>strong FE two-stages mon
>strong one-stage mon
>FE pseudo legendary
>>26685103All the Serenas looks great to me
Adamant, subs when? Here's cute Serena
This episode looks like it will be pretty fun
The episode preview narration was adorable, I want more absolutely-done-with-big-bro's-shenanigans Bonnie
>Delia, When Ash was much younger there was a little girl next door he used to visit everyday to play. every so often he messed up my garden to get some flowers to give to her as presents. They both wanted to start their pokemon journey as soon as possible, so Ash promised her that they do start their journeys together. He seemed very fond of her, but one day her parents left pallet for work reasons. I believe her name was Luna.
>>26685132
Holy shit why is Serena so cute
>>26685182
Because she's in love.
Korni will return yet again!
>>26685088
>Zakari
Ah, if there's one chap who used to draw tits like they were made out of silicone, it was him.
>>26685198
The only and legit answer.
>>26685219
Based May.
Goodra doesn't rejoin Ash's teamAsh can't even get Psudo-legendaries
I'm done. I'm fucking done.
>>26685215
She appeared 3 times already, it's more than I ever expected.
>>26685255
It isn't clear yet if she joined Ash again, but I guess she wont. They are to vague about it.
>>26685281
>she
>>26685255
>Noivern isn't a pesudo now
>>26685255
>>26685281
>implying it wasn't obvious it's back
I want summer to leave
>>26685215
she will return during the team flare arc
>>26685303
Noivern isn't a pseudo. It only has 535 BST and only evolves once
How will Ash-Greninja be relevant during the TF climax? Corrupted and Perfect Zygardes surely are beyond its power, or any other Kalos mon for that matter.
>>26685325
Pomf pls go
>>26685343
why did you cut off bonnie?
Over at rangerboard a bunch of Misty fans are getting upset over how long its been since Misty left:

>>26685358
why would you call yourself precita in that forum scott? are you trying to pass up as a girl?
hi guys
>>26685268
There is never enough Korni.
>>26685350
Ash Greninja's water shroud will form a gigantic Ash figure around him like the final battle in the second Gurren Lagann movie.
I truly do love her.
>>26685343
Is it just me or does Serena's face look very different in this episode?
>>26685376
Korrina going to Alola to learn about synchro evolution when?
Is serena staying with ash?
Whats the likelyhood? 70%?
>>26685406
We just don't know, anon.
I need a cheerleader Dawn in my life
>>26685397
No, she just isn't looking at Clemont like people are expecting.
>>26685358
The guy named Blue22 over there says Dawn is uninteresting yet he says how he's been missing Misty for 14 years. lol.
>>26685406
Close to 90% I'd say. They will need another region to develop the crush into something bigger.
>>26685405
>Korni becomes more like dog
>>26685387
I don't know, giant figures in the shape of people bring back bad memories about LoK.
>>26685397
and dedenne
>>26685406
80% staying with Yashio
20% going with Ash
Needs some Rosa here.
>>26685406
50%
>>26685436
But that is exactly what will happen. And Bonnie will come down from the sky like the messiah she is to purify Corrupted Zygarde with song.

>>26685440
Ash would like it alot Serena.
>>26685506
Because "muh waifu"
I'm guessing this is cringey art time?
reminder
>>26685531
Get reporting.
>>26685531
Yes, just for fun.
>>26685531
Not yet, I haven't seen SerenaXSean yet.
>>26685539
Why does every art style with an older looking Ash, look like shit?
Its like nobody can draw an adult Ash to save their life. Either that or they make him look like Goku.
>Child bearing hips
>>26685555
Ash hair is weird as fuck
>>26685556
Just like Dawn.
>>26685531
They think posting this shit art proves something.
>>26685555
Stfu id like to see you try. You know it isnt as easy as it looks to draw anime

>>26685539
>I wanna be a Pokemon master too

>>26685589
Be grateful for what you have
>>26685600
This is what is she saying? that's cute as fuck.
>>26685556
>>26685440
>filling your ass with helium
I don't think that's healthy.
Does ash ever get hot underneath that jacket of his?
>>26685622
>dat Braixen.
>>26685618
>あたしもポケモンマスターになりたい!
>Atashi mo pokemon masuta ninaritai!
Yes
>>26685639
And there it is.
Cons of XY anime series:
-Ash: boring, typical, clieche shonnen main character. Pro though he had more personality than BW's.
- Serena: personally, she's the least interesting main female character in the anime to me.
- kalos queen... Sexist, and the boring version of contest
- little to no tension. TRio is 95% of what causes it, and...
- TRio is just pretty annoying this series probably the most out of any. Appear in the majority of the episodes and sometimes there's no rhyme or reason.
C'ant believe they got away with this once.
>>26685343
What do you think she said that made him bashful vp?
>>26685414
I need Dawn in my life
>>26685555
Because 99% of all Pokémon fanartists, especially those making anime fanart, are incredibly talentless.
>>26685674
and bonnie >>26685438
>>26685686
where do I redeem this at?
>>26685674
"9 inches"
>>26685699
Bonnie pls
>>26685690
Hey fuck you im not talentless
>>26685622
This is some cheesy shit
>>26685711
Post your art
what did you just freakin say about the original series?
>>26685692
Bonnie doesn't say anything because she's just landing from her jumping and striking a pose. Serena is seen moving her mouth while looking at Clemont, then he blushes.
Why does pornfag keep posting the same images. Give me new shit to add to my folder.
heres serena for subs
>>26685655
has XY Ash come back from the dead though? checkmate atheists
Thanks a lot pornfag, my boss saw that. Now I'll have a speech with him in 20 mins.
>>26685745
just wait, senpai
>>26685733
Because his intention is not to give you porn to fap to, it's to irritate you with his insufferable autism.
>>26685732
What if Serena said Clemont "looks cool", or "did really great" here. That might be a problem. Complimenting him. I thought he was the joke of the group?
>>26685758
nobody is bothered tho
Ive stopped watching after the battle at the ice gym. Did I miss anything?
>>26685707
he fucks both of them
>>26685765
I am. I have company. -_-
>>26685767
Goodra.
>>26685785
>-_-
Why does anime make people look like horses from the side?
>>26685785
as if people watching you browsing Pokemon shit wasn't embarrasing in the firstplace
>>26685736
>serena you aren't fooling anyone.
Do you like the idea of Serena praising Clemont in an episode and not Ash padt?
I have several problems with XY. Horrible late into the series and rushed goal for Serena, hardly any Noibat development but Eevee gets it all once captured? That was major......, Goodra getting released and no sixth slot in sight, Alain the Gary Stu, Bonnie episodes and her "gag". Not to mention the worst rivalry ever with Sawyer, nobody cares about it. Where's the Paul/Gary drama?
Guys pls srsly, I need the full screenshot from where pic related is from.
>>26685805
No. I think thats comparable to cheating to be honest
>>26685816
Pathetic
>>26685816
What do you think she said to him in that scene? I wouldn't think jumping across some moving platforms is something to be proud of. Ash jump cliffs all the time.
>>26685802
Why are the anime threads becoming sp cringey. It wasnt like this back in april
>>26685374
>sideways oval shaped head
>looks smaller than usual
>big ass ears
I like this
>>26685827
I would say summer but its really the same shitposters just more annoying now
>>26685810
>that entire sequence
>that "Wad le fugg" faec
>all the pottery crammed into three episodes
Meme magic is strong in us.
Praise Kek
Yukiyoshi Ōhashi did it
>>26685802
Fuck, messed up my implication arrow.
>>26685824
Also, she doesn't say that.
>>26685374
Lol do they do this on purpose?
>>26685845
I hope so, I bet the animators throw the reference sheet away
>>26685841
But what is this >>26685732
Why does she look so proud of Clemont?
>>26685827
Summertime has brought more 14 year olds in here, and they've all seen what one shitposter can do and want in on that shit.
>>26685839
I don't feel annoyed, the thread looks fine.
>>26685867
this nremind me... when are we getting a poster with Ash and Serena like the other movies
>>26685867
why does she looks like she needs an exorcism?
>>26685841
Did this also
absolutely official anime thread rules:
1. the original series and DP are the best
2. no shipping spam
3. greninja is a huge mistake
4. be nice
5. just because you dont like something doesnt mean its a shitpost
Every time I see a pic of Serena, I just want to punch her in the face
Fucking useless girly girl character, thank god for Yashio
>>26685881
But why does she look so proud of him here? >>26685732
You think she called him cool?
>>26685894
>You think she called him cool?
no
>>26685893
u gay son?
>>26685841
>>26685884
>>>/ink/
>>26685893
Such a flat boring character
>>26685827
Notably less moderation, and the Sun/Moon info has brought in tons of underage cancer that see the shitposting here and figued it'd be the pinnacle of comedy to shitpost in anime threads as well.Chances are this new wave of shitters will grow bored and leave before too long, though
>>26685897
What do you think she said that made him bashful then?
At least stop replying, you retards.
>>26685931
she is happy they crossed the platforms
>>26685732
is her hair growing?
why is stale so pathetic?
>>26685893
To bad for you, because people post her every 5 minutes.
>>26685930
Are you sure? Dont things like this usually last all summer?
Its pretty obvious Serena said "wow Clemont that was amazing" sucked his dick, cum swapped with Ash. all in between frames got it keep it G.
>>26685942
M-maybe
>>26685893
Thank god we have her.
>>26685814
>>26685939
Would that be enough make Clemont bashful?
>>26685949
I don't remember last summer being particularly bad.
>>26685966
Good, i dont want to have to deal with this. Summer's suppose to be fun.
POO POO PEE PEE
>>26685956
What would be so amazing about something she, and probably Ash already did? Why is this episode about sucking Clemont's dick? I thought Ash was the one supposed to get all the praise...
>>26685971
Summer is when the underaged get out of school and have a lot of free time to come here. It's awful in every single board. Here it's extra awful because of the new games.
>>26685966
>>26685971
Last summer, /vp/ wasn't flooded with newfags and cross-boarders looking for new game info. I doubt this is going to get better any time soon.
>>26685942
desu so many people point it out, we actually need to start investigation
This thread is not cringey enough.
>>26685982
because Clemont fucking sucks dick at being /fit/.
>>26685981
Fucking poofag is back, shit.
>>26686010
Try harder.
>>26685506
Those are Ash's "i'm trapped in this town not living my dream i don't give a shit" clothes
tminus five seconds til he's living on a mountain and dawn is delia, refusing to divorce him
>>26685484
never raise your kids around:
>gardevoir
>lopunny
>phox
>latias
>>26686005
You like the idea of Serena giving Clemont a compliment over Ash?
>>26686003
So grenjinja is the new charizard?
>>26686044
Because...?
>>26686047
not really it makes xy as a series better because it gives more strength to the weakest link in the group's friendship.
>>26686048
That's actually cute.
>>26686044
What's wrong with Latias?
I know the others are just furbait but Latias is just a plane.
>>26686047
No i think its very inconsistent. I feel a little betrayed in way
>>26686048Cute, even Bonnie
>>26686047
Yeah why not, Clemont is cute and deserves admiration.
>>26686063
it makes stale cringe though.
>>26685063
Oh wow team rocket is lurking around with the nasty plot! You sure don't see that a lot! Seriously these plots are getting too repetitive why don't they just drop team rocket from the show they have no use in it at all. People who watch the anime don't even like them. They are fucking annoying and retarded. If the writers and directors wanted to make series more serious and make Ash seem more like a bad ass and they wouldn't have been battling villans as retarded as the Rockets gang. If they had kept their personality at the beginning of black and white in that would be something to be impressed about. Seriously nobody in this thread even likes team rocket. Just write those idiots out of the show it would make any more of a difference. We all know The Rockets are going to trap them, steal their Pokémon, ash has either talonflame or noibat help them out of the trap, then he and the Rockets battle, The Rockets get their asses brutally whipped easily as usual then Ash it's just going to have to havePikachu use thunderbolt on them to send them blasting off again .
>>26685811
Shota btfos satoshi in the last sub. Satoshi's pride takes a huge hit and it's super obvious. Shota might not shittalk satoshi in his face but to say this rivalry is awful isn't giving it enough credit.
As far as alain goes he's just there to give satoshi a strong character to beat sincehe could still lose the leagueleague
>>26686088
Oh yeah i forgot about that kek.
>>26686098
Hothead much?
Am i the obly one that gets a boner when Clemont says WAIRUDO BORUTO and Ash says IAIGIRI
>>26686044
>phox
Nonsense, she's a great example. If I had to leave my children in someone else's care, it'd be phox.
>>26686003
>>26686048
i don't think you understand what cringe is, this is probably something that actually happens offscreen and looks in-character for everyone involved, including ash not being super flustered by girl
>>26686064
latias can turn into a cute girl or a cute boy or whatever at will, which may lead to your child considering lizards or planes as romantic partners
>>26686064
Plane?
>>26686113
This video is pretty, i love it, is just like in the movie The last.
>>26686088
how can one anon be so butthurt as to constantly namedrop a shitposter unprovoked
i've never seen a shitposter get this deep in someone's head
you have a serious mental problem
>>26686132
stale had a hard life
>>26686100
I like how Ash's inferiority complex and insecurity towards Shota actually destroyed his super-special frog power
Reminds me of how everyone in the early episodes who lost to this fucking ten year-old four foot raspy fucker must have felt losing to him, like Giselle or Drake or literally everyone in the Battle Frontier, whoever
>>26686111
she'd probably be a good surrogate mother until the kids realize how much she likes being rubbed in the special place
>>26686132
Is ok, stop crying so loud, everything is going to be just fine.
>>26686154
>stale is the one always complaining about stale
it all makes sense now
>>26686059
>not really it makes xy as a series better because it gives more strength to the weakest link in the group's friendship.
You just contradicted yourself a bit here.
>>26686072
Yeah, Serena complimenting Clemont is very strange.
>>26686085
Why Serena though?
>>26686168
>special place
All phoxfags know phox's favorite place to get rubbed.ear hair
>>26686182
It's already pretty obvious he samefags most of the responses to his shitposts himself.
DEVILISH
>>26686187
>Why Serena though?
Why not? she is very nice, and perfect.
>>26686201
right, so >>26686088 is stale. just namedrops himself for attention.
actually are you stale?
>>26686201
How do you feel about the idea Serena might say "Clemont, you were great", or "Looked cool"? In the scene in question?
>Malamar
>>26686228
I think its been answered too many times now. Overal i dont think anyone here like that
>>26686223
No, im stale, and i don't like to shitpost anymore, because i realiced how pretty Serena is, and i just fall in love with her so badly but i know she is Ash only.
>>26686242
why does it exist
>>26686228
I feel like she is nice, sweet and perfect.
>>26686214
>>26686247
>>26686247
it's alright dude, you can just self insert as ash, it's pretty easy this season. don't expect a romance end though.
>>26686187
>You just contradicted yourself a bit here.
not really. Clemont and Serena is really weak as a link of friendship. Giving them a little more will improve it. Its not like they are supposed to hate each other.
>>26686262
She should only compliment Ash.
>>26686228
Id like it beter if she made fun of him in a very cruel way and everyone including ash and his pilachu laughs
>>26686268
That's what i do all the time.
>>26686268
Serena's not my favorite by a longshot but I still like this ship more than all the others
>>26686168
If you're implying what I think you are.
>implying phox is a degenerate.
>Shitposters in charge of pretending there are no shitposters
It's just comical at this point.
>>26686214
>perfect.
Only with long hair and her pajama.
>>26686272
Why? she is just perfect, everything she do is alright and doesn't need to be changed.
>>26686296
Certainly
>>26686296
Nothing wrong with this Sentence, Serena is always perfection, even when she wears long hair or pajama, always cute and perfect.
>>26686293
>you pretending you contribute anything to this thread
not even comical, just annoying
>>26686277
same, but for the battles, not the serena ship. i'm hoping she gets replaced by lillie.
IDs
for fucks sake
we need a place with IDs
like /qst/
>>26686242
>Squid Furby
>>26686318
Serena is perfection but Lillie is a cute, i can't denied the evidence.
>>26686322
ironically that will shut all the "samefag" fags the fuck up
or they'll just claim it's stale using 10 different devices
>>26686322
For what purpose?
>>26686322
You seriously can't tell shitposters apart, kid? Lurk more.
>>26686260

Oh yeah? who am i? you can tell?

>Trevor hitting on Serena with Ash next to her
Is that Ash's cucked face?
>>26686270
I think she should only compliment Ash. She loves him after all.
>>26686110
I don't want to talk about my boner
on a barely related note, wouldn't the biggest advantage of perfect synchro with a mon be silent commands, so you're not blatantly telegraphing your next move? you'd be able to convey all your crap without the seconds spent outlining everything too, then nix the .18 or .29 seconds it takes for the pokemon to react. Isn't that what Sabrina did in the first season too?
I get for shounen battle anime purposes it's better for everyone to scream the attack and so clemont or whoever's on exposition duty's got a chance to talk about what happened like two seconds ago but that seems like super frog's big advantage

So
A) Samefags and samefagfags will stfu
B) Shitpostalooza will be contained, as nobody will bother with "dialogue" between twenty IPs, or we'll simply filter IDs
>>26686342
I usually know who or what is a shitpost
I am just bored of checking those hundreds of stubs if there wasn't some worthy discussion sprouting from shitpostanza chain
>>26686368
It's what Anabel did Fucked Ash over pretty hard since he couldn't react as easily.
>>26686342
Why dont you just kill yourself, seriously?
>>26686358
Janusz is better
>>26686365
She is just perfect, is a nice sweet girl.
>>26686365
Its not like if she is trying to hold Clemont's hand or something.
>>26686368
Ash still gives voice commands out loud when in synchro, and Diantha already uses non-verbal commands with her Gardevoir, sometimes. Non verbal communication has nothing to do with synchro as far as we've seen.
>>26686376
Perhaps you should refine your filters, then?
SWALLOW THE GUAC shipping idiots. we have won
>>26686392
>Dude who can literally playback his speeches from 1993, and they will still be relevant
Krul truly is based.
>>26686376
>or we'll simply filter IDs
Oh well we are not tumblerinas, we don't need a safe space right?
>>26686335
>it turns out to not be just one guy
>it turns out to be three of four instead
Oh wow, that instantly makes the shitposting more justified!
find a cuter amour fan art. pro tip: you can't.
>>26686376
The answer's always been as simple as reporting the usual garbage.
>>26686398
I want Ash to be the hero of the episode, not Clemont. Serena needs to admire Ash more.
>>26686417
There is at least one dude here treating this thread as onahole for his imaginary dick right now as we speak.
We already are safe space.
>>26686380
So it's not blatantly illegal then. And also Ash could use Aura to read the emotions of the opposing trainer or mon to get a little fake precog, get a sense of when they're gonna attack and stuff. He could use Aura Sight to suss out a decoy or aim for his mon through smoke or whatever, or maybe none of this stuff since he refused Aura Guardian training. But still, synchro. There's so much made of his 'clever' battling style fucking up the field to do stuff or repurposing moves but I'd like to see him leveraging some actual trainer-based advantages.
It's funny that battlefield control is his big gimmick, when in his first major fight he backed off a win because of the sprinkler system thing
>>26686400
Their brains are the same to the point where Ash is looking like a moron miming the flashy ninja crap Greninja is doing on the field, I'm having trouble believing he couldn't at least push across some shorthand impulses to get frog to do stuff. If he's not screaming "Frog, blatant attack skill!!" maybe the other trainer wouldn't know to guard
