>Mega Mega 1-Hour Special - XY29: Ta-da! A Fake Ash Appears!! & XY30: Korrina and Lucario! The Secrets of Mega Evolution!! [May 29th] http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/anime/pokemon_xy/trailer/ There will be a 1-hour special May 29th! Incredibly, we will be showing two anime episodes together! And there's more! We will have footage from upcoming anime episodes, which will be centered around the mystery of Mega Evolution, the latest information on the movies, extravagant gifts for our viewers, and more! Look forward to the 1-hour Pokémon special!
Upcoming episodes:
>XY31: Lucario VS Blaziken! The Cave of Trials!! [June 5th] >XY32: Mega Lucario VS Mega Lucario! A Storm of Aura!! [June 12th] >XY33: Hearts Calling Out to One Another! Go Beyond Aura!! [June 19th] Shit people will ask:
>Is this season good? I haven't watched the anime in [x] years and- It's better than Unova. Will it peak soon? Most likely, but just enjoy the ride as it is now. Right now we're heading into Mega Evolution territory and meeting glorious Korrina.
>Will Serena win da Ash? The long answer: No.|The short answer: Maybe.
>Will May return as part of ORAS hype? Her voice actress is currently suffering from spasmodic dysphonia, and it is unlikely the production staff would write in an unneeded cameo knowing they'd have to replace the actor for it.
>Muh Skrelp where? A South Korean ship sank and TV Tokyo have postponed the episode since it deals with a sunken ship
>Muh subs when? [PM] is subbing X/Y and usually release around Tuesday.
>Muh dubs when? This Saturday, The Strongest Mega Evolution Act 1
>Muh episode 24 when? Who knows?

Daily Reminder that Ash will not win the Kalos League:>Looks nothing like Red's Hat >Comic Relief Ash >Already at Sinnoh League Competence, and this is just Badge 2, should have had at least 4 by now >'I want to win the league ~this~ time' - said multiple times, but what makes this time any different? >Knows and utilizes each Pokemon's unique strengths, in conjunction with team work, to overcome everyday obstacles. Did the same in Unova, no difference >Looks nothing like Red's Hat >Regained his knowledge of previously met Pokemon as well as their typings. And still manages to fuck up >The fact that Ash has no rival is indication that he has nothing left to overcome. At the peak of his growth, his only hurdle now is ultimate league victory. Like he had no rivals in Hoenn and still lost. >Has done many crazy stunts in the past that involved walking between a battle of Mewtwo and Mew and gotten himself killed as wellas other crazy stunts >Continual hype of the Champion's League, but will loseanyway because the writers will have something up their sleeve >The writers already know how badly they fucked up with Cameron,Nothing wrong with Tobias >Already has his eyes set on becoming Grand Duke; just won only one battle at the Cheateu and probably has forgotten all about it by now >Serena's just another girl who travels with Ash and gets in the way. Ash still has yet to show his feelings for her >Pikachu is already top tier in power and still got rekt by Wobuffet who it has beat numerous times >Confirmed when Grant said how surprised he was when his Tyrunt was beaten by a not very effective Thunderbolt because Anime Logic is totally equal to game logic >Looks nothing like Red's Hat

>>19383507 Because the episodes have too much going on in them. Fletchinder could happen in any of these episodes especially int hat one where Lucario goes wild and Ash uses it to calm it down. Hawlucha is the one boggling the head because they've never given Ash a capture in an episode completely unrelated to that Pokemon.

It was the group leader of the little tadpole Pokemon who were not only stopping Ash and Oshawott from training but also stopped them from getting the Poison-healing herbs. I'm pretty sure the episode mentioned Palpitoad in its title so obviously it was going to have some relevance.

>>19384652 No it's different because Darkrai tanked it because he's a Legendary Pokemon and therefore is incredibly powerful. Hawlucha however should be able to tank a 4x resistant non-STAB boosted Megahorn from a Dark-type Mega Absol. It's not a Legendary Pokemon. Sure it has that extra Mega-boosted power, but from what we saw of the special, it wasn't all that powerful anyway.

>>19386460 Watching other big franchises try it and fail (Really the same sort of thing happened to all sorts of franchises- Digimon for instance) probably showed Nintendo starting fresh with a new protag in pokemon would be a really stupid fucking idea. They'll get new kid audiences and some of their old viewers, but more likely most of the people who have wanted to see Ash win will celebrate, and then stop watching the show.
The status quo truly is Ash's greatest enemy. The best we can ever hope for is a technical league victory like the one he had in Sinnoh, where he was basically the winner aside from one hacking deus ex machina fuck out of nowhere.

Malva's both a member of the Elite Four and a member of Team Flare. That alone could be excuse enough to have Ash win but lose when challenging the Elite Four. That's not even including the fact that they threw in Serena liking Ash and even giving them a little back story.

The status quo is literally his worst enemy. The producers realized that they had made Ash way t good with Sinnoh and decide to majorly fuck him over in BW.
tbh I think Pokemon was supposed to end in Sinnoh. or at least, that was the idea. I mean, the literally had:
>Best Champion >Best Gym Leaders >Best Rivals >Best Ash team >Best Dawn >Best Championship >God himself at the end of the fucking Pokedex >Legendaries that represent metaphysical concepts like space and fucking time as opposed to shit tier Physical ones like Groudon and Kyogre.

But Serena needs to stop being beta. And before anyone brings up the hand-slap thing as her being a "wife", that can easily also be seen as a "Mom" thing too.

>>19388113 You know, I'm still curious as to whether Shauna is going to show up in the anime. And, if she does, will she join the ashbowl?

>>19388113 In essence, yeah. That alone isn't bad though. I'm just saying that if they really wanted to, they could use her as a blank slate to do other things in other regions if they had her traveling with Ash.

>>19388108 When Misty was around, female companion with a goal wasn't a thing yet, but back in ADV, the episodes that weren't specifically focusing on May had her doing fuck all, she was never shown training for contests very much. I've never watched BW so I can't comment on Iris.
Dawn was a bit better because they split the episodes in a way so there was less cases of her standing in the background doing nothing for like 20 episodes.
With Serena I guess her thing is supposed to be showing the various minigames XY had, but I'm really hoping they tag her with something that has a bit more continuity.

Not that Serena has won the Ash; May, Dawn, Iris and Misty are gone forever.

>>19388120 Maybe Shauna would be an old friend of Serena's and would also notice her feelings for Ash and try to get her to not be beta.

>>19388352 W-what if the writers realize this, and they're trying to give him a Yamato Nadeshiko with Serena. W-w-what if her not having a goal is an excuse for her to continue journeying with Ash, trying all the features that new gens have...what if...
