>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?

...for subs
What did you think of.tge episode when misty came back. And her togetic evolved?
is there any real reason why Ash isn't allowed to win this league and then move on to the elite 4? It's not like winning the league makes you champion or anything. He could still lose in the end, but not appear as an incompetent retard like in all the other seasons.
>>26796127
>>26796161
You see, there're a few issues that need to be sorted out first. For one the league could be a ruse by TF(so regardless of Ash winning or losing got to see what happens with it), with that considered there's also the Malva issue who's working with TF too and is also part of the elite four, my guess is after the league and TF Ash will just rematch Diantha.
>>26796000
Garbage.
Good night /padt/, hopefully we're getting XY&Z028 subs soon.
>>26796189
Good night! sure the subs will come soon, don't give up until the end.
>>26796216
Selene-chan is adorable.
https://archive.nyafuu.org/vp/search/text/aniki/
>>26796171
Rather than rematch Diantha I think he'll just get the celebration that occurs for the league and him winning it and him saving Kalos from Flare.
>>26796216
>she visits Kalos so Serena goes with Ash to Alola
That actually works.
>>26796018
Well said Anon!
>>26796298
This isn't DP.
>>26796293
Yes, maybe something could happen during the league/TF arc which makes Diantha realize she's no match for Ash.
>>26796314
I didn't mean that, more along the lines that he gets the whole league victor/Kalos savior celebration put for him.
>>26796326
Ah nevermind then.
That reminds me, I wonder if we'll ever see AZ in the anime...
>>26796216
This pic is primarily why I can't see Luna in the anime. Too much of her character/design seems similar to Serena already. Another young feminine happy go lucky girl, also a little similar to May.
>>26796161
who knows. It's a question of whether it is necessary.
Through his travels, Ash has always met up and battled a few of the Elite fours and lost. So its not like he needs to fight them officially to figure out that he still needs more training. Rather it shows that he wasn't ready to face them during the DP or AG series even if he did win the league.
With Synchro greninja, Ash is already Champion tier or arguably the strongest trainer. Since Ash is currently the only one that has it.
I would like it if ash wins the league to face the E4. But right now I have mixed feelings of whether it matters now. Seeing how close he beat Diantha.
>>26796390
>Too much of her character/design seems similar to Serena already.
Yes that's why i like her, she truly looks like Serena and Ash daughteru.
>>26796398
Yes, but unless they do a timeskip, I can't see this girl in the anime otherwise. She gives me a May vibe too, which Serena also had at the start.
The Amour thread on serebii is going nuts with people debating with each other and one guy claiming Serena leaving would be, "the biggest mistake since Misty left."
>>26796395
>With Synchro greninja, Ash is already Champion tier or arguably the strongest trainer.
Right, Ash-Greninja already cornered the champion's ace once(how close he was from winning is up to debate yes), now being able to take full adventage of the synchro he has a legitimate shot at defeating Diantha if they were to battle again.
>>26796413
>Serena
>May vibe
Is this Scott?
>>26796413
>She gives me a May vibe too
I can't see the similarity? can you explain please.
>>26796440
You should fuck off to whatever hole you crawled out off.
>>26796440
Is going to be the biggest mistake ever, no one doubt it.
>>26796448
The Sun/Moon girl looks like a mix of girly and adventurous. She doesn't have that overly girly vibe even game Dawn and Serena have with the long hair, skirts, and pocketbooks but more of a inbetween vibe similar to May.
She seems like she would be a little sister type character, similar to May or Bonnie toward Ash.
>>26795856
Hey kid, this is the discussion thread, not the cringe thread
On a side note, the Pokeshipping thread on serebii is all but dead. Even when DP and early BW were airing I remember the Pokeshipping thread being quite active. Although to be fair its probably because they all moved to tumblr.
>>26796466
>May
>little sister
This really is Scott, isn't it?
>>26796466
>She seems like she would be a little sister type character, similar to May or Bonnie toward Ash.
Oh, yes sounds like something possible.
>>26796474
On a related note, you need to kill yourself.
>>26796467
Tsk, cringe you say? You haven't seen cringe anon.
Hopefully none of the female Gym leaders in Sun/Moon are young 10 year olds. If they're all older females similar to Flannery, Skyla, Elesa, etc...they won't be considered for the next main girl of the anime.
In Johto all the Gym leaders were too old, Whitney, Jasmine and Claire...its easy to see why there was no good Misty replacement back then.
>>26795856
>>26795998
>>26796495
They had Casey Scott now fuck off.
>>26796495
Was Whitney that old? I always thought she was like Brock oldish.
>>26796492
This isn't cringe, is really cute actually.
>>26796504
In the anime if I remember correctly Whitney was taller than Brock.
>>26796492
>>26796508
It's from Spanish kikebook.
Does Bonnie have the snake fetish like Clemont?
>>26795656
>tripokalons gets a bunch of cute side girls in cute outfits

HOW IS THIS FAIR?
Will Sako's character be named Sako is the anime?
>>26796568

>>26796587

>>26796697
But is pointless for you keep watching this anime if you don't like Tripokalons/Ashninja/Clemont related episodes subplots, there's nothing more else, unless you like alot Bonnie episodes, but still.
>>26796712
>yfw it'll be a role reversal with the Eternal Floette, and that she had been waiting for AZ to come back to her for many long uncounted years
>>26796688
More like Pikachu doesn't actually cause Serena grief. Personal items getting shocked or physical harm, Serena never got any of that.

The longer I listen to her speak, the closer my nutbladder and dick get to exploding.
How does one voice reek of moe and sex so hard?
>>26796563
CUTE
>>26796736
How about they make characters with actual interesting subplots? Last episode was pretty entertaining. Why can't it always be like that with Clemont?
>>26796754
By having a cold when recording her lines.
>>26796745
You were talking about yourself for some reason.
![fHfAZNv[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/8uhKhHO.png "fHfAZNv[1].png")
>>26796738
I guess.
>>26796697
The thing is the writers learned how to make characters into actual characters.
Misty/Brock were such background material in Johto you didn't even realize they were there half the time. Nothing Misty/Brock did ever mattered or affected the saga much, outside a few one-off things. Neither had any story arcs, rivals, major battles, or focus outside the odd filler episode.
Misty and Brock were never in the anime to be actual characters, and that was the problem.
>>26796763
>says there's nothing for the characters
>talks about an episode they did for one of the characters
>>26796766
But anon, That was obviously you.
>>26796777
No anon, I'm not you.
>>26796775
>completely ignores "Why can't it always be like that?"
The episode was entertaining, but Clemont doesn't have anything going on for him.
>>26796782
But I am you.
>>26796764
Either way, her voice is the best.
It's a damn shame that she wasn't the female partner for Kalos.
>>26796783
The science thing is what he has going for him.
>>26796773
I... Never even mentioned Misty or Brock.
But I would probably like the formula of having characters with no subplots while focusing on the main character, over uninteresting subplots that serve as full filler.
Of course, my preference wasn't even the case in the OS, as the pacing was still shit and fillers were bountiful.
>>26796805
But what does he DO with that? It has just been used mostly as comic relief, he has no dreams, no journey.
>>26796825
>he has no dreams, no journey
It's like you missed the whole deal during the gym and how it got to that point.
>>26796783
Because the story is about Ash now you gigantic fucking faggot. You had several episodes focused on Clemont, Serena, and Bonnie. An entire arc dedicated to the development of Clemont in order for him to become Ash's equal as a trainer even flashback episodes, an entire character arc surrounding Serena trying to find her goal and deciding for herself what she truly wants, hell, she was even central to Ash's development in is depression, and there's Bonnie who had several episodes dedicated to her growing close to a Pokemon only to let it go which will become another big player in the coming Flare Arc she literally has a legendary Pokemon with her.
You don't see that as an interesting subplot? The gang struggling to find a way to overcome their weaknesses? Hell, Clemont's is unique since his goal is intangible, and can only be measured by his battle with Ash at the end. Even then, his "personal charm" which you apparently don't like, is actually fucking useful for once in aiding Ash.
But I guess this is the limit of your intelligence if you use a copypasta to shitpost from the previous threads, huh?
>>26796833
That was a plot point for Ash and Clemont's relationship, but please let me know how long it's been since that anyway.
>>26796825
>Clemont does his science thing all the time trying to not fuck it up

>>26796773
>Misty and Brock were never in the anime to be actual characters, and that was the problem.
They were fine in Kanto and Misty was fine in the Orange Islands.
Johto just suffered from not only being an utterly boring region, but them clearly not really knowing what to do with characters.
>>26796838
>moving the goalpost
>>26796834
Cringe
>>26796847
Misty's problem stemmed from Kanto. At least Brock had something going for him since Kanto.
>>26796763
>How about they make characters with actual interesting subplots?
Some people like me find it the anime great for what it is, the only thing you can do is watch another anime, one that you find interesting since the beginning instead of stay here eternally wasting time and waiting for them to "change it" which is impossible.
>>26796856
>being this rekt he can't find a reply.
Hey, why don't you use one of those shitposts from the previous thread then, anon?
>>26796866
>which is impossible
They always have next region to scrap the characters that won't do anything interesting anymore.
When he says personal charm he means the characters acting like complete jackasses to one another.
>>26796834
>But I guess this is the limit of your intelligence if you use a copypasta to shitpost from the previous threads, huh?
Actually it appears to be the case. >>26794225
>>26796834
Wow, impressive post.
>>26796879
No, I mean characters that do something more interesting than beauty contests like we've had for three gens. Or characters that don't become plot irrelevant the moment they give away their gym badge.
>>26796879
That doesn't sound surprising.

Delibird snowsuit was superior and she should have worn it here as well, unless of course that was a rental.
>>26796858
Nah, she was fine too.
They just made the right decision to remove her after floundering about with Kanto.
They honestly should have gotten rid of Brock too and had Hoenn be Ash/May/Max, because it suffered from the same issue that XY suffers. Too many characters to properly characterize.
>>26796898
Bonnie truly is the best.
So what was Korrina's problem in her subplot again on why Lucariio keptthrashing about?
There's no need to be upset anons!
>>26796877
Then stop watching this season and come back when they do another one, but sincerely i don't know what are you expecting, is going to be the same.
>>26796916
I'm not sure if they were. Then again, Bonnie had two swimsuits in use already and a third in the Diancie movie.

Sure, but Serena looks better when she's smiling.
>>26796932
I really hope it's not the same, XY started strong but in the end they couldn't keep all characters equally interesting, probably like the anon above said, maybe they had too many to properly work on them individually. Also why would I stop watching now that the league is starting?
>>26796943
But that's what was wrong with her character, not the problem on why Lucario and its aura kept going berserk.
Honestly, I forgot. Was it basically like Ash and Greninja not being synced?
>>26796924
Misty had her problem since Kanto about what to do with her. She never tried improving like she supposedly wanted then she got Togepi in Kanto. Then they tried Water Pokemon master in OI but she didn't do much then either. It just became more apparent when Johto hit.

>promises not to leave his battle with Shota at a loss and that they will settle it at the league
That foreshadowing, pretty much confirmed Ash will beat Shota.
>>26796962
They gave her a dream hard to execute on screen. How DO you become a water Pokémon master? There is no certification process or contest for it. She just sporadically kept catching water Pokémon that didn't do much.
>>26796949
>Also why would I stop watching now that the league is starting?
Because everything related to the show makes you puke, like the greninja subplot, why would you find the league interesting?
>>26796955
Oh, Lucario.
Lucario basically did what he wanted and because he had no control he couldn't handle the power.Too proud of his power so he ended up thrashing about.
>>26796639
Cilan should've totally tapped that.
>>26796973
I never even mentioned the Greninja subplot. I guess that's the bad thing about being Anonymous, you start thinking that people with similar opinions are the same fags.
I actually did like the Greninja arc, but it won't even be the focus in league since it was wrapped up and perfected. It's all battles from here on out.
>>26796986
Anon pls
>>26796962
To be fair, her goal was a weird one.
At the very least she had a real presence outside of that goal though.
I mean, let's be real here, Bonnie, Clemont, and Serena all suffer from not really being all that important to most episodes going on.
Clemont does his gimmick thing for "hilarious" shit.
Bonnie exists to purely be moe about pokemon.
Serena is just...there half the time.

>even this was a rental
Oh, for fuck's sakes.
>>26796972
She didn't try becoming a water Pokemon master until it got brought up in OI. In Kanto she wanted to be a better trainer but she didn't do much then either. She just didn't have anything going for her. Iris had her battles in BW but that still didn't do much to get her to being a dragon master.
>>26796996
You have the same opinion as me, we're probably gonna be told we're the same person.
>>26796996
Besides the bickering she did she didn't have much of a presence.
>>26797004
>Iris had her battles in BW but that still didn't do much to get her to being a dragon master
That and she went on to catch non Dragon type pokémon, even Georgia pointed it out once.
>>26797014
>2 minutes between posts
Nice try
>>26796967
>implying shota even had a chance.
Ash would have won that recent match with synchro ninja, luckily for shtoa it didn't activate.
Then again it would have discouraged shota if he lost again even with 8 badges.
>>26797021
Excadrill was used I think as a pun kind of like how Ampharos got the Dragon typing as a Mega and she had Axew. Then she caught Emolga and in the end Dragonite.
>>26796990
I thought you were the same person as >>26796585
Well i guess it's all battles until the end, we will see how the ride is gonna end.
>>26797022
See? It's just so funny. The only thing that'd convince you all would be if we each took face pictures with time stamps showing our screens and our (You)s
What do you think the red punk's name is?
>>26797028
That Clawitzer was super strong though, and pretty much used Ash's unorthodox battling. It's seems to be Shota's dark horse.
>>26797004
Being a master of a specific type is kinda hard to characterize for though.
Brock was even worse on this though. Like 90% of his breeding shtick was making food for everyone and even that goal swapped up in Sinnoh.
>>26797017
That bickering gives her way more of a presence than a lot of characters though.
I mean, 33 episodes into XY myself and I'm constantly forgetting that Serena is actually a character.
>>26797021
To be fair, every single gym leader Ash traveled with wound up with a variety of types.
It's just more into the thing about someone wanting to be a master of a type doesn't fit very well in the show.
>>26797033
No, I'm not. I don't think Greninja overtook too many episodes in the season. What I do think is that Ash's other Pokémon got severely overshadowed by it, but that was to be expected if Greninja was meant to be Ash's ace this season. Sad for Pikachu tho.

Nobody cares about you pretending to be somebody else to bulk up support of your shitty argument.
If you are so worried about this go back to serebii, where you can tell who is who, where you can bitch all you want about the characters not getting their due in someone else's arc.
>>26797045
>To be fair, every single gym leader Ash traveled with wound up with a variety of types.
>It's just more into the thing about someone wanting to be a master of a type doesn't fit very well in the show.
Cilan and Brock never stated they wanted to master a specific type, hell Brock caught Zubat the by second episode he appeared.
>>26797057
I was thinking more in the lines of old rockers.
>>26797045
Brock's breeding thing at least worked because he was making the meals for the Pokemon which were different in each region, meaning it'd be trial and error. It didn't get focus but it made more sense.
Misty didn't even try being a type master until much later. She just didn't try improving all around in general like she wanted to either way.
As for presence, all characters have presence. Misty had her bickering but that was it. She also didn't play much part in episodes like everyone else.
>>26797061
I am not worried about it, I do feel bad for (You) because you can't get into a serious discussion with anyone without quickly disregarding them as the same person.

This is one of my favorite sound effects next to machine gun Hyper Beam.
>>26797044
That's true. Then again, I felt it was more because Ash's team was consisted of flying types. And Ash wasn't prepared for that an Ice beam to show up, which would pretty much hurt his entire team. Now that he knows, he's going to screw it with Pikachu.
>>26797045
>every single gym leader Ash traveled with wound up with a variety of types.
Brock and Cilan never said they wanted to master a specific type of Pokemon. Clemont did but he ended up with Chespin and Bunnelby to counteract his gym. Even then Clemont was actually shown to do his work with the Electric types, so he has that going over Misty and Iris who tried the same.
>>26797091
Well, both Ash and Shota will be showing all of their cards prior to battling each other, barring Ash keeping Goodra orhis reservesin secret.
![[PM]Pocket_Monsters_XY&Z_027_Eisetsu_Gym_Match!_A_Battlefield_of_Ice!![H264_720P][8008B708].mkv_snapshot_10.37_[2016.06.19_17.40.22].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/an0ndXr.jpg "[PM]Pocket_Monsters_XY&Z_027_Eisetsu_Gym_Match!_A_Battlefield_of_Ice!![H264_720P][8008B708].mkv_snapshot_10.37_[2016.06.19_17.40.22].jpg")
This is why lost: he looked at Shota instead of Serena.
>>26797100
Well, I mean Shota sees Ash-Greninja but he doesn't know what power it has. Ash somewhat has a vague idea about Sceptile's power as a Mega thanks to the other Megas he's faced.
Ash is basicallyaces high.
>instead of keeping his momentum when Wuflric had Avalugg used Avalanche to outspeed it, Ash just had Talonflame wait for it instead of attacking
Ash pls
>>26797110
Well, likely it wasn't that, but his defeat with Shota made him take the wrong approach to battle Wulfric, which then led to his depression.
>>26797115
Ash is showing off Ash-Greninja early in the league it sees. But Shota and Ash still doesn't know Ash can still unlock further synchro (as it is still monotone blue instead of colored like in the Diantha battle)
>>26797122
Yes, that's why he shouldn't look at his sleepy face to remind him of his defeat and enforcing on his self-doubts, and instead looked upon Serena, hell everyone else for that matter.
Fuck, Ash would have probably won this gym without trouble if Shota fucked off and not constantly psyching him up with his presence.
>>26797133
Shota sees it but he doesn't know how powerful it can be if it can go toe to toe with a champion's Pokemon. Ash has the experience of dealing with Megas.
>>26797142
Got to see about that, it's possible Wulfric could've pulled Mega Abomasnow and beat him if he hadn't mastered the synchro.
>>26797110

Ash was missing an entire night in a snowy area alone after saying, "oh yeah, I'm just gonna be out for a minute." Serena had every right to worry.
Guess, the next episode occurs after they have eaten lunch.
What if Ash is Kalos's Tobias. Remember how Everyone was shocked when seeing Tobias use a Darkrai, I guess people will be shocked on seeing Ash using a different type of Greninja
>>26797407

Do you know how often Ash has been set on fire, thrown off cliffs, been in explosions in general? He hugged a flaming chimchar for like a minute straight, rode a flaming Charizard another time, etc

Then there were those panels in which the trainer felt the same pain the Pokémon did at the Viridian Gym, I still find it hillarious that the turn around of that battle was Pidgeotto using Double-Edge on Rhydon.

In every game where the other gender choice is a character in the plot, Ash travels with them in the anime. When they don't exist or are just side people who barely exist, he travels with Gym Leaders.
Given what we know about Sun and Moon's plot, we can likely conclude that the alternate gender pc isn't in the story. So patterns point to him travelling with Gym Leaders insteadand relapsing ala BW.
Lunafags should keep this in mind.
>>26797673
Stop pretending XY&Z028 didn't exist stale.
>>26797683
I'm personally hoping he travels with the friend/rival and the assistant in Aloha.
It'd be a lot more interesting than PCs or gym leaders.
