I really love the ribbon concept they did with Serena. Holy fucking shit no one expected that but it was the best use for the blue ribbon. She can always look at the ribbon or touch the ribbon to remember about Ash and get courage from him. Also let's not forget that the ribbon matches her eye color too which compliments both.

Keeping with me and my optimistic outlook on Ash winning, and Pokemon promoting Pokemon, I'm hoping and speculating that Ash might call in Charizard sometime during the league and have it mega evolve. Also, are the writers for XY still the same as previous seasons?

Is it true that Shudo doesn't want Ash to give fully evolved mons/no-evolve mons that are without "flaws" in fighting back at the first season? His Kingler didn't appear much. His Charizard disobeyed him. Pidgeot, Primeape and Butterfree were given away.

>Ash is only rarely allowed to have and use powerful, evolved Pokemon on his team. He's been allowed to keep evolved Pokemon on his team in the most recent seasons, but the early show (the Takeshi Shudo era) deliberately went out of its way to submarine Ash's journey To Be a Master. Butterfree was released to go participate in his mating season, Primeape was given to a boxer to go be trainednote (in the very episode that it began to listen to Ash, no less), Pidgeotto evolved into Pidgeot and was left with a flock of other Pidgey and Pidgeotto in the very first episode of the Orange Islands arc, the list goes on. (Misty had some of this, too — when she returns to Cerulean City to briefly star in her sisters' underwater ballet, the episode ends with Misty's sisters relieving her of Starmie and Horsea). >When he was allowed to keep powerful Pokemon, they would often have personality quirks, flaws, or foibles designed to prevent them from operating at maximum (or even remotely decent) efficiency. Most famously, Ash's Charizard was temperamental and often simply refused to lift a finger to help Ash in his battles. Late in the Orange Islands (EP105), Charizard is moved by Ash's devotion and finally decides to get its butt in gear. However, in the Johto arc, Ash is told that Charizard is too powerful and that he's been abusing its superiority, and the writers have him leave Charizard in the Charicific Valley for training (EP134)note . Look at those episode numbers again — Ash gets to enjoy a hard-earned, obedient Charizard for less than thirty straight episodes. This made room for Cyndaquil, a little badger cub with powerful fire attacks hampered by its serious ignition problems. >>22797550 More like apparently not to be too powerful.

about serena's hair, according to my research in japan it means starting anew and forgetting the past. could this mean that she'll be more involved and less timid? maybe it's some feminist thing, since japan is so behind in the equality aspect. i guess we'll just have to wait until next week's episode.

Are people still bitching about the haircut? Why? The premise for it is one that was reasonable and didn't step on anyone's toes so to speak. What's wrong with the them trying something different? it's not like Serena isn't Serena anymore or anything. A visual change such as this is a breathe of fresh air, and in the big picture, it's not even that much of a change. But it does show that the anime production team is willing to try something new (albeit a small changes, but you have to crawl before you walk). So what's all the whining about? Is it just shitposting? Waifufaggotry? Waifufaggot shitposting? People being little bitches about change?

People seriously thought XY60 was a good episode? The Tripokalon and the appeals were absolute shit and boring (I can say I am not looking forward to the next one, and the multiple equally boring training episodes that are surely in store for us too...), the character development from Serena was really damn forced and didn't feel real at all (really, crying? for that? uhm...), not the mention the re-design of Serena was also unnecessary, and felt like a desperate attempt from the writers to re-gain interest for a weakly written main character.

Let them be, there are people who have reasonable opinions as to why the redesign its not of their liking, yet people treat their opinion as shitposting or simply reply with an avalanche of circlejerky-ish commentary. You can obviously tell apart people who are stating their opinion against those who are just baiting. Those bait-ish posts don't reply to them report and ignore which is something which am tiresome of telling you guys yet it continues.
My point is that you can obviously tell who is a baiter and who actually is not fond of the redesign. Treating those opinions who clash against ours as bait just make us look like a bigger circle jerk that we already are. But hey you can also call this a false flag and report me.

>>22797401 I absolutely love this fan art. In general, I love the application of the blue ribbon in XY so far. I don't necessarily like how Ash obtained the ribbon (I think the writers could have come up with something more imaginative than a millionth-customer prize), it's really become a powerful symbol for the bond between Ash and Serena in just two episodes.
I think making the ribbon red would have sent the fandom into an uproar. If the writers plan on taking Amour all the way, there's no way they could tip their hand to us so early with something that blatant.

>>22798166 You didn't like the Monozu episode? I thought that was very well done, and a great example of how to properly use Iris.
Honestly, I like Iris better in hindsight. She was actually pretty enjoyable in the episodes that focused on her, the problem is that she had maybe 10 focus episodes total in the entire series, and she had a tendency to be nothing but an obnoxious little shit making snarky comments in the background in at least HALF the episodes that didn't have her in a major role. And when you watch the series on a weekly basis, that means you often go entire months of Iris being nothing but an unlikable cunt at a time, which really colors your impression of her.

Since the other two were BW25 and BW26, it looks like the idea was to revert them back to how they used to be after the Meteonite arc, but then they immediately changed their minds and made them edgelords again in BW30, keeping them that way until the end of the Meloetta arc.

So we all know that the Anime is willing to go into the concept of mortality, but will it tackle the concept of dying, as in the process of death. Could it even be able to? Also has the mortality of Pokemon ever been brought up? Has that concept ever been dealt with?

>>22798413 Looks mostly like a slightly longer variant of the "short" haircut. There's not really any elements of the bob cut in it.

>>22798438 >we all know that the Anime is willing to go into the concept of mortality Yes but in that case it never had someone who was dying, they were either already dead or had a potentially fatal thing happen to to them. And it still doesn't answer whether the mortality of Pokemon is dealt with.

>>22798528 The one where he get sent to Oak because they needed to make room on Ash's team for Phanpy.
A giant boulder falls over it, everyone treats t as having died, and it gets a memorial flashback with an insert song and shit. The episode is even named "Farewell, Fushigidane" in the original.
Some minutes later, it's revealed that it insta-learned Dig and managed to save itself.

>>22798613 Yeah, I liked it: especially the English dub not being unwatchable and genuinely good was a big plus for the OS.
I feel Ash had an actual character and personality back then, too.
Also, the fact that Johto showed a potential death proves it's nowhere near as bad as the fandom makes it out to be: some of the episodes in it were real tearjerkers for all the filler crap in the middle.

>>22800461 Did they keep Namida Nochi Hare and Atarashii Tomodachi in those scenes?
Anonymous
>>22800491 That was years ago, but I do remember most of the JPN OST was kept.
Also, forgetting that, Ash 's dub voice doesn't make my ears bleed in pain like they do now, there's no slang or cool speak, Brock doesn't sound like an old man in the dub like he does now, etc.
Anonymous
>>22800491 >>22800528 Both were replaced. Especially the flashback lose a lot of its punch with the dub music they used instead.
Anonymous
>>22800564 Honestly, the dub music was pretty decent, IIRC: at any rate, more tolerable than what TPCi has come up with since BF.
Though I don't really give a damn about the BGM: it's the voice acting and script writing that I need to be able to stand a dub, and Veronica Taylor gave one of her finest performances here. The part where he realizes Bulbasaur is alive is really touching in the dub.
I mean, if this was 2002, I would complain, but now? Compared to the current dub, 4Kids' dub is a planet of diamonds.

Quoted By:
>>22800564 What I mean is at least Ash sounds like a boy in the OS dub: in the XY dub, he sounds like a woman smoking cigarettes-- it's just painful on the ears.
Anonymous
>>22800663 It paled in comparison to the original (and 4Kids used Namida Nochi Hare a lot, so there was no real point in replacing it here), but yeah, it definitely didn't have that "Holy SHIT this is awful" vibe I get from clips of the current dub.
Anonymous
>>22800697 I agree, man: you know what the saddest part about the English dub is?
The fact that its two lowest points in its run are the best sagas of the Anime...seriously, try watching DP in JPN and the English...the difference is horrifying.
I hated DP in English so much as a kid...then I watched the Japanese and I liked it...just sad.

>>22800697 I have to give 4Kids props for this- the only time in the Pokemon dub an Original Japanese Opening or Ending was kept:

>>22800745 I've only "watched" a single episode of DP dubbed ever. It was that "Pikachu an Pochma get stranded on an island with a Deoxys crystal" episode. Turned it off in disgust when Team Rocket started some hideously obnoxious rap bullshit that absolutely wasn't there in the original.

>>22800788 Also, to whoever keeps insisting Cathcart wrote all the AG dub stuff, you're wrong: Paul Taylor did the translation for the AG dub Movies, which explains the quality jump.
Also, Cathcart didn't become the sole dub script writer until TPCi took over, which is when Ash started his slang and cool speak speech, TR started their alliterations, Brock started his pedo-talk, etc.
