UPCOMING SHIT:
POKÉMON NO UCHI ATSUMARU? EPISODE 15 (Jan 17th)
XY&Z11: Noibat and Floette! An Encounter in the Wind!! (Jan 21st)
>While taking a break in a forest, Ash and his friends are listening to the screams of the "Sound Wave Pokémon" Noibat. However, while flying, Noibat ends up crashing into a wild Breloom. Noibat gets poisoned by the angry Breloom, but a passing Floette comes to the rescue.
XY&Z12: Ash and Serena! Getting One at a Dance Party!! (Jan 28th)
>While she's practicing for her next Tripokalon, Serena receives an invitation to a dance party for Pokémon performers. The rule is that performers and Pokémon both pair up one male and one female, so Serena participates together with Eevee, Clemont and Bunnelby. But then Serena's rival Millefeui shows up and suddenly brings up the topic of pairing up with Ash and participating with him.
XY&Z13: The Strongest Mega Battle! Greninja VS Mega Charizard!! (Feb 4th)
>While continuing their journey, Ash and his friends reunite with the enthusiastic boy Shota. Ash immediately challenges him to a battle, but as they're fighting, Ash's Greninja undergoes that mysterious transformation. However, exactly what causes Greninja to change forms like this is completely unknown...
>>24977270
Still need to see how Orange and Blue does before we can determine who truly best Flare Girl is.
>>24977292
Why can't they just incorporate the Blue Ribbon onto her old design?
>>24977288
They're all getting owned by whatever faces them. But they're all smug as fuck. So they're all best.
Ash suffering when?

>>24977303
>taunting when they have the clear disadvantage
They have the inner baka in them.
>not even 20 posts in and four shitposters immediately jump in
>>24977288
They seem more trigger happy.
>>24977314
Inner baka is nothing when you are Ash and you have the power of "ai" on your side.
>>24977312
How does the pain Greninja feels get carried over to Ash's body? Do his nerve receptors just flare up when Greninja's does? Or do visible wounds and bruises carry over as well?
>>24977321
Ash just feels what Greninja does.
>>24977321
By the power oflove
>>24977326
More like the power of asspulls
![[PM]Pocket_Monsters_XY&Z_009_Terminus_Cave!_The_Mystery_of_Z_is_Set_in_Motion!![H264_720P][55E72F7E].mkv_snapshot_19.59_[2016.01.08_22.11.28].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/WxdL8CV.jpg "[PM]Pocket_Monsters_XY&Z_009_Terminus_Cave!_The_Mystery_of_Z_is_Set_in_Motion!![H264_720P][55E72F7E].mkv_snapshot_19.59_[2016.01.08_22.11.28].jpg")
>>24977316
Not at all, they actually stayed their hand pretty much during the entire cave confrontation, warning them to stay back with attacks, likely underestimating them.
But now that they have been marked, hopefully, they won't have to hold back. Hopefully, Celosia and Bryony actually do appear in the next episode, and not just in a flashback so we can get some insight on what they think after getting rekt in the cave.
>>24977324
So he doesn't suddenly get lacerations and bruises on his skin when Greninja gets hit hard by an attack?That's a damn shame.
>longhairfag
>Tiernofag
>phonefag

How is it that four shitposters jumped in all of a sudden?
Just 18 days more
>>24977331

>>24977331
No, I mean blue and orange.
>>24977337

Goes to what?
>>24977340
why did they get rifles and not the arms things lysander had
>>24977340
>yfw Team Rocket won't be marked until after they contest Team Flare for Blue Core.
>>24977291
Better than the usual one, but still needs improvement. Roxanne should at least be Great Tier.
>>24977346
Use google.He's giving himself away right now shitposting with his faces.
>>24977344
They are called aliana and mable, you silly
>>24977337
Who cares, stop giving them attention.
>>24977338
>not posting a screen from the raws
>>24977348
They are notFABULOUS!for arm things.
>>24977348

Anon, those robotic arms probably cost a fortune to design, let alone manufacture.
>>24977354

Iie, senpai, this is ourColor Wars.
>>24977291
>everything is just fine, overall good list
>Misty at Elder God Tier
Literally why
>>24977368
It's a shitpost list just like the other one that gets spammed by the /pol/tard, that's why.
>you will NEVER have enough pokedollars to join Team Flare
>>24977370
Be quiet serena
Bonnie is asleep
>>24977375
And what? Throw all of that shit away in the absence of an actual economy once TF succeeds in killing everyone? Hell naw, m8.
So which aside BW, which other saga would be considered the worst o the entire anime?
Uh
>>24977388OS.
>>24977388
OS, even now genwunners shitpost about it.
>>24977382
>>24977390
Shut up serena
>>24977388
Johto
Also ash is strangely smug in XY when he gets the upper hand
>>24977375
I'm sure I can convince Lysandre to let me join some other way.
>>24977377
Is she likely to be out for very long?
>>24977398
>Suffering
Bonnie covers up that department
>>24977402
Smug doesn't describe it.
>>24977402
Do you think he would be smug during the league?
All must return to the void.
I wonder when Xerosic will finally get some more screentime.
>>24977416
I still can't believe its been almost 10 years since sinnoh came out.
>>24977418
The next TF episode, which won't be too long from now given the New Year's Special footage of Bluni-chan.
>>24977418
>"Will you press the button to save or the button to destroy? The choice is yours."
Is this what /a/ is like?
>>24977413
>implying he won't act like a submissive, humble pie during the League so people underestimate him
>implying he won't pull out the smug once he maims people left and right in the tournament for underestimating him
XY Ash runs on broken hopes and dreams.
>>24977418
Probably during TF climax
>>24977423
I mean, do more than just stand around and talk.
>>24977422
Some people get triggered by Darkrai coming back, calling it a copout and an asspull. I disagree. Darkrai fades away the same way the rest of the town does, so it stands to reason that it would be restored when Palkia fixes the damage it did.
>>24977430
Oh, who fucking knows, maybe not until Lumiose City when the subplot ostensibly ends
>>24977429
>yfw all the girls and xerosic's glasses break when they are defeated.
>>24977436
>yfw behind their glasses isanother pair of glasses
>>24977435
>implying the subplot won't restart at Anistar when they use the sundial as a meteor to destroy Kalos
>>24977442
>sundial
>not the megalith from Hoenn
In any case, I hope they would at least reference AZ.
>inb4 Floette in the Noibat episode is AZ's
How would you restore her smile? Alan is not available to help you.
What do you want Ash's 6th member to be?
>>24977436
Hopefully
There is something i want to do, but i wanna make sure how do their eyes look first
>>24977453
Goodra or Aegislash
>>24977452
By telling her a joke.
>>24977453
Mega Zard Y, Goodra or Smogonsword. One of those three and I'm satisfied.
>>24977452
TellClemontt to fix it.
>>24977375
lysandre already knows i'm a good person
>>24977458
>>24977459
>Aegislash
Why? It doesn't fit him.
>>24977461
Clemont is the guy you go to when you want shit blown up, not fixed/protected.
>>24977449
Megalith is the power source of the Ultimate Weapon, when they destroy it they would need an alternative.
>yfw they fire the weapon's beam on a satellite to redirect its power toward the sundial to do some crazy shit
>>24977463
but do you have the cash to pay for it?
>>24977453
Aegislash, Trevenant orAvalugg
>>24977461
He said fix, not shatter to millions of pieces.
>>24977471
...no...
>>24977465
Anon, pls. Ash has fought alongside and against legendaries, saved the world multiple times, and done more things that other trainers would only dream of doing. What better way to honor Ash than with this Pokemon of lore?
>>24977465
Why wouldn't it?
>>24977466Exactly. Bitches love explosions.
Plus he could ask Manon to be his apprentice or something once this whole Flare arc blows over.
>>24977466
>the only thing he can protect is Bonnie's smile if only just barely
>>24977454
tsurime eyes, also curtains match the windows when it comes to these things in animu.
>>24977404
Lysandre has no need for sexual favors from harlots.
>>24977486
Manon doesn't want to build shit. She wants to mega evolve shitincluding herself
>>24977476
Fine.
MaybeBonniecould fix Manon's smile, then.
Why hasn't Malva appeared in the XY&Z anime yet?

>>24977490
He didn't even protect it last episode. So much for onii-chan.
>>24977495
She needs a catalyst for that.
Question is, what? Or better yet,who?
>>24977498
Not much focus on Team Flare headquarters shenanigans where she likes to hang out, I'm afraid.
>>24977500
Why is this on Paheal? You can't see anything. There is a real shortage if good softcore Manon porn. It's all got extra crap in it.
>>24977458
Why not Charizard?
>inb4 he was already promoted too much
What happened to the ninja who got knocked out? I-Is he ded?
>>24977498
She might have only been written as a minor character for those last few weeks of the XY series.
Though I really DO want her to return. She was lewd as fuck.
>>24977499
>stood at the sidelines and merely watched while Ash protected his little sister
>didn't even attempt to fix Bonnie's smile once they were out of the cave
It sounds like Clemont needs protecting as well.
>>24977507Dunno what you're talking about; I got this from Pixiv.
>>24977495
>yfw Manon defines her mega evolution as being able to stand by Alain's side.
>>24977433
Korrina returning when?
>>24977514
Same thing that happened to the Team Flare grunt that got blasted into the water.Cadaverrific.
>>24977514
Just sleeping.
>>24977514
>implying he didn't simply use some ninja art to vanish and teleport to safety
>>24977524
Which pokemon is that? Scrafty?
>>24977518
Next episode probably fixes as he steps the fuck up after Bonnie runs away.
>>24977527There's at least four shitposters right now and three of which might have left already. I don't think that's him, though.
>>24977526
With the fishes.
>>24977531Niggersby
>>24977531
It's called Blackosaurus.
The smaller one is called Harlot
>>24977532
>Ash and Serena are left alone without Clemont or Bonnie in the way
Thinking about it. Siebold has his own fucking coliseum in the back of his restaurant. Do you think Malva has some goddamn private bondage volcano on her own when she's no flirting with Lysandre?WHERE THE FUCK IS DRASNA?
>>24977540
Is that Kotoura-Chan? You have good taste, sir.
>>24977542
>yfw they motherfucking encounter Celosia and Bryony
>>24977542
Anon pls.Pikachu's still in the way.
Good night, guys. Just do your job and all will be just fine.
>>24977543
>flirting with Lysandre
>forgetting that she was lusting after Alan
>>24977546
I'm gonna call it. Ash uses Ash-Greninja again in this episode.
>>24977551
Good night faggot
>>24977547
>Pikachu's still in the way.
>forgetting it's a menage a trois between Ash, Serena, and Pikachu
>>24977558

Ash has led a hard life.

>implying electrostimulation isn't a thing
>>24977542
>Clemont and Bonnie alone without Ash and Serena in the way
>>24977574
Oh no you don't.
>>24977545
Why, thank you sir. She's quite lovely.And she's got good company, perhaps a tad too good for her.
>>24977574
>Puni-chan comes in to interfere
how more /m/ can XY&Z get?
>>24977321
>>24977333
I hope he gets punchdrunk syndrome in time for the league.
>>24977569
>not knowing that the only people Pikachu would have a threesome with is Serenas Sylveon and Millefeui's Slurpuff
>>24977601
The outfit was better because pleated skirt. Otherwise no.
>>24977600
XYZ is not even close to /m/. Just because Zygard looks like a robot doesn't make it /m/.
Pokemon is a horribly written anime by mecha standards.
>>24977609
also dem serenas
>>24977605

Baggy clothes. Also to stop everyone that isn't Ash from looking at them. May's clothes weren't baggy when she became pettanko.

>>24977623
Serena switched to baggy clothes.
May, on the other hand, stuffed her shirt.
>>24977634
because Nene isbig guy?
>>24977634
Dedenne is a Hideyoshi.
>>24977636
On the bright side serena's serenas are still there. Unlike may
>>24977635
>Being this salty
>>24977632
No, that's you being retarded as usual.
Why can't Manon dress like a girl every now and then? She looks good like this.
>>24977673
>Kid not dressing like a kid
CANNOT.... COMPREHEND...
serena is too cute
>>24977686
She should dress like a girl instead of a boy.
>>24977699
oh god that picture quality came out horrible
let's try this one
SERENA A SHIT
BONNIE A BEST
Tripokalon Racing when?
>>24977691
Those that can't be sexualized are not on the list because if they can't they shouldn't be considered waifus.
>>24977711
What if your definition of waifu is a cutie that you just want to cuddle nonsexually?
>>24977699
>>24977702
One can't help but wonder why the artist decided to make that larger, pixelated one.
>>24977717
it will forever be a mystery
>>24977711
That isn't what a waifu is. A waifu is a fictional female character you feel love for.
>this thread
>>24977722
That's longhairfag you're talking to, what do you expect from him
What are you guys gonna do while waiting for the next episode to come out?
>>24977730
Didn't mean to quote that, the post was meant for: >>24977713
Why isn't flying not very effective against Dragon?
>>24977763
Why did she eat so many Poke-puffs?
why is movie Iris such a babe?
>>24977773
you wa shock
>>24977743
But I'm not longhairfag.
>>24977773
I guess Satoshi took away her self-control.
>>24977773
Because Ash is into Pokepuffphilia
>>24977780
Her hair finally doesn't look like plastic.
>>24977847

So you need to leave then

I'm always up for posting cute serenas
Just report and ignore; at the end of the day, he's just another shitposter.
>>24977917

Good!
Fucking finally, jannies are here.
>>24977953
How do you know?

Now this is autism
t-thanks jannies?
>>24978164
>implying Satoshi wouldn't do the same for any friend of his
This nigga would jump into an active volcano to save one of his friends. Serena just hasn't put herself into a very dangerous situation just yet. The day it will happen, Satoshi will jump after her just the same.
Now stop shitposting, anon, it's time for you to go to bed.
>>24978175
>>24978186
I've seen several other similar images to that, there's more where that came from.
>>24978186
>implying Satoshi wouldn't do the same for any friend of his
What about when both Serena and Clemont dell and Ash didn't bother with either?
>>24978198
Fucking Citron ruining everything.
>nearly 200 deleted posts
>almost as many deleted as remain in the thread
My fucking god
So how cute will the scene be when punichan and Bonnie are reunitedand how hard will you cry? ;__;
>>24978199
>And so is Serena
Nah, she is still in the show.
>>24978217
And longhairfag is still longhairfag, stop giving him attention
>>24978211
I'm still not sold on Bonnie and Puni-chan's relationship.
Zygarde still acts like it's looking after its own interests without regard to others. We'll see if that changes.
What's the dumbest way you've ever heard anyone refer to a pokemon
>Satoshi Greninja
I don't know why but it sounds so stupid.
>>24978206
>blaming Clemont for Ash's disinterest in helping Serena
>>24978228
You
>>24978222
Bonnie is convinced punichan cares. That alone is enough for me to think the end of next episode will be precious
Maybe punichan will really start to appreciate Bonnie as it sees how much she cares for it
>>24978231
But that's basically it. Citron was in the equation so Ash decided that it was not worth it jumping after.
>>24978230
it should be Satoshi-Gekkouga or Greninjash, for me
>>24978239
So what you are saying is that Ash wanted Serena and Clemont dead so he could keep the Bonnie?
>>24978247
Exactly, it doesn't make sense to say it in two different languages
>>24978244
If you like her or not is irrelevant she is still in the show, deal with it.
>>24978258
Stop replying to him

Yes, we know, just report/ignore and stop giving him attention.

>>24978323
You pretty sure you just responded to that one guy, faggot
Stop giving him attention
What are some themes you'd wish they'd bring back for the XY anime?
Imagine one of these themes (or a remix) playing during the Kalos League:

Can't recall. Sorry anon have gender bendt Clemont as an apology.
>>24978344
Have they ever brought back songs from older generations for the anime?
>>24978344
The Kanto champion one is epic
But I'd like to see the original theme song of the show played. You know, this one http://youtu.be/aAAklSDj65Y
>>24978352
All the time, they're doing it as we speak and they play old movie songs a lot and a lot of songs from the BW anime
Ask CGO maybe, he's the go to guy on these matters
>>24978352
For XY they use a lot of BW's score. I think also from DP but OS I'm not sure.
Would love to hear more OS stuff in XY&Z.
>>24978352
type: wild during ash v paul
>>24978344
I really want ready go, type: wild or mezase pokemon master to play at least once during the league
>>24978368
Very little DP stuff. All of it is from DP movies I think
>>24978344
>>24978368
At 0:30
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTkzMarPlX0
Isn't that from OS soundtrack?
>>24978379
It's a rendition of one of the Route songs from the original R/B/Y games
They put a unique recording of it on most movie soundtracks, it's called something like "Satoshi from Masara Town" or "This Boy Satoshi..."
>>24978344
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-8W4KZpjGM&index=3&list=PL9712E60CF1EFD393
This one always brings up some nostalgia.
Also, more of this theme when the gang battle team flare
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhoTv1BXL_g&index=3&list=PL0yld4-nVKm5r5L7etVxaeQLq3TiRMzxT
>>24978388
I can't remember the last time the Lysandre theme played in the show, I remember it from Brobowl but not since then
CGO where the fuck are you, you're missing music discussionyeah he's prolly asleep but maybe he will see this later
>>24978390
>hawlucha is using flying press
>the theme starts
>hawlucha's cry
literally fucking perfect

>>24978403
It's a shame that there aren't better quality rips of it out there, the one that other anon linked isn't very good quality.
I remember at one point CGO said there's something weird about that song that makes it so that percussion gets taken out when you remove out the noises, so it ends up sounding shitty
>>24978403
>ash noticing little things like heliolisk having to open it's frills before attacking
why are all the xy fights so good
>>24978412
Eh Ash using strategy ain't anything too new, he's been using decent strategy since AG
I just think the writers are more careful about how the battles are written and making sure that Ash is strategizing in a way that is believable and smart
>>24978403
The Citron vs. Satoshi battle was a perfection of sakuga and music coordination.
>that moment when the music vs. legendary started as Rentorar bit off Pikachu's Thunderbolt effortlessly
Truly great.
>>24978408
I remmber him telling something like that but wasn't that for the vs Yveltal/Xerneas theme?
But yea, the rips that exists are shitty af. The only good part is the 3 first seconds, the rest just sounds off.
>>24978414
I know it isn't anything new, after all, countershield was a huge part of his plan in sinnoh
it's just that, the way he battles now is so good. The olympia battle for example, was handled a lot better than tate/liza imo. I did feel that frogadier and talonflame took a few too many hits though
>>24978388
Yeah the Team Flare theme is great. Also loved it during Fletchinder vs. Weepinbell
Probably the main reason for me why I just can't watch the dub
>>24978403
>Clemont calling out attacks
Music to my ears
>>24978408You were looking for me?
>at one point CGO said there's something weird about that song that makes it so that percussion gets taken out when you remove out the noises
Yes, that's true. If I'm able to find a workaround I'll let you all know, but no promises.
>>24978379
Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWWZX0NN3WA
As another anon pointed out, it's basically a remix of Route 4 from the original Kanto games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TU3wEquqpcEI've got normie shit to do, guys, but I'll be back later.
>>24978432
RENTORAR, WAIRUDO BORUTO
SUPEEEDO SUTAAAAAAAA
PARABORI CHARJI
>>24978412
>>24978415
I showed Brobowl and Unsocialbowl to an OSfag friend of mine and he changed his tune.
>>24978403
>>24978421
>>24978415
Ash vs. Clemont and Ash vs. Ramos had great BGM. Definitely elevated the whole gym battle in general, so far my two favorite XY battles.
Ash vs. Olympia has great BGM too.
>>24978421
Don't forget Korrina's Mienfoo vs Luchabro and it also played against Grant
>>24978419
>I did feel that frogadier and talonflame took a few too many hits though
It was well-balanced though, everyone took a lot of punishment. The female Meowstic was hit by a (Lightscreen-protected) Flame Charge and a Brave Bird, the male by a (Lightscreen-protected) Water Pulse and a Steel Wing, both where hit by their own Psyshock + Dark Pulse, then their own Future Sight and finally another combination of Flame Charge and Water Pulse.
>>24978460
I know but there's just something about seeing a an old man and his Weepinbell sweep Ash's team with that music playing in the background that makes it a stand out
>>24978467
i guess they did need to take so many hits because it was a 18-20min battle.
It was still fucking amazing though, and Ash using pikachu to time future sight was fucking brilliant. He had every right to be so smug when he turned that future sight against them
>>24978467
Yea, that's what I like about the battles in the anime. It doesn't take 2 turns to take down the opponent like in the games.
Also, pretty sure light screen didn't protect the female cat from flame charge the first time.
>>24978414
It's not just a matter of strategy, it's mostly that Pokemon have been using more than 4 abilities by the past, which could be used as a "last second save" or asspull. Here, Pokemon have 4 abilities and that's it, it's up to the trainers to use the abilities, the situation and the physics at their advantage to win. This is mainly the reason why Satoshi doesn't suck anymore. The ratio "Pokemon ability/Trainer ability" is now even, or even leaning in the trainer's favor. If Satoshi was the same as he was before, he would keep losing his matches. The new battle system required a Satoshi that would lean of what he had done so far and would always try to improve.
This is what makes the battles so great. They are less a battle of Pokemon strength (which was the battle for most situations before) and more a battle of Trainers' wits.
>>24978476
>Light Screen protected Flame Charge
>Light Screen damping a physical attack
>>24978477
Will be interesting to see Ash vs Alain since Alain is literally all strength, little strategy.
>>24978477
>Abilities
You mean moves, right?
I remember that in Orange League Drake's Dragonite used TEN different moves in the entire battle (although 2 weren't mentioned in the dub)
>>24978477
that wouldn't lean*
which the case for most*
Damn, I'm tired.
>>24978480
In the anime, it's still a barrier. It's probably still going to soften up some damage
The light screen was used to protect f meowstic from water pulse anyway
