OVA: The Minidjinni of the Word "Appear!": Hoopa (Jun 19th)>This is a story set when Hoopa's companions Barza and Mary were still children. The three of them lived happily together with the villagers in "Arkhē Valley", a place far from Désser City where Hoopa later met Satoshi and the others.

So yeah, Clemont vs Ash probably goes down as one of the most disappointing battles of all time. Let's just look at the facts: - Only one episode long. A battle of this magnitute should have been a two parter. - They didn't even bother have their best animation guy (Iwane) working on it. Animation quality was only average as a result. - Too much stock footage, particularly for the first battle between Bunnelby and Pikachu. What utter laziness. - Once again we get this shitty writing with the gym leaders first two pokemon going down fast and and having the gym leaders 'ace' take down 2/3 of Ash's pokemon by itself. Can it get more predictable? Nope. - The final battle was basically a one-hit KO. I mean, really? That's absolute bullshit. Bide is probably the most boring move to finish a 'hyped' battle with. Goodra didn't even do anything but stand there and tank attacks and then shoot a beam at the opponent. How exciting... If there's one good thing about Goodra's release, then it's that we get rid of this gimmicky, shitty move from Ash's roster. Disappointing is the right word to describe this gym battle. Nowhere near the top of the best gym battles as most thought it would be.

Why doesn't Ash just teach Bide to all his Pokemon, then all they'd have to do is stand stationary and absorb the enemies attacks, only to shoot right back at them with a one hit KO of death.

>Tamashii had planned to make a valintines video based on all of the Ash centric ships but upon reaching armour, a ship she detests, she realized that she'd have to spend significantly more time on it than every other ship but pokeshipping. Because she had no interest in viewing armour in a positive light she scrapped the shipping video all together and simply made a pokeshipping analysis where the only mention of armour is a quick write off on why it's inferior to pokeshipping. Infact, the focus of armour shipping and femininity is a key reason why Tamashii hates Serena as a character and rates her the worst poke girl. /Ash/, What is it about shipping in the anime that makes people this way? lt's not that serious is it? besides isn't Diode endgame?

>>23206844 The funny thing is, if you wanted to humor those people, you could say that the stereotypical feminist view of a girl involves breaking all traditional norms, and therefore following those original norms while fully knowing that "more empowering" roles exist is a way of violating a stereotype that violates a stereotype, creating an individual that defies a now-stereotypical personality that originally sought to violate stereotypes to create individuals.
I do not advise ever trying to argue with those people though; still, if you must, trying to apply a backwards-ass logic onto their backwards-ass logic is the way to do it, because straight logic won't work against them.

Good lord this battle was so biased towards Ash's it's hilarious. First of all Bunnelby was kicking Pikachu's *** who pretty much beat Bunnelby with two moves with pretty much no strategy. Then we have Hawlucha's sudden hax speed boost which Ash pulled out of no where as Hawlucha was never that fast. Then we have that pathetic final strike from Goodra with Bind. In what world would one swift build up that much Bide energy?? In my opinion Clemont deserved to win this battle for the simple fact that he actually prepared and trained for it where as Ash literally had one training battle with Goomy and didn't do anything to prepare.

just look at the struggle between Heliolisk and Hawlucha, then Pikachu and Bunnelby. The backward kick, and the iron tail to the face. Excellent moves, creative delivery, and physical attacks none the less.
Goodra uses bide and wins. Luxray totally stole the spotlight by doing all that it could against it.

>>23206983 Personally I actually thought Korrina's match was really similar to this. Mienfoo and Machoke matches were great but then the Lucario fight was kind of underwhelming. One problem is that all of a sudden Lucario was just standing in place a huge amount of the time in that battle when beforehand when we saw him in the Korrina arc he moved so fast Pikachu couldn't even react.
Anonymous
>>23206983 Good thing Goodra gets kicked out and we get rid of Bide, fuck that move
>>23206986 Bide was bad and it ruined the climax of the battle. Goodra didn't even had to do anything but shoot a beam. How is that worthy as the climax? Such a cheap move that I hope to never see again.

In this it was Ash who had the broken mon and just roflstomped Luxray like it was nothing
Anonymous
>>23207062 Honestly I thought this match made more "sense" strategy-wise. Clemont was heavily relying on Luxray's boosted Wild Charge damage, which took out Hawlucha without a problem and then overpowered Pikachu as well. Goodra shat all over the strategy by using Rain Dance and cancelled Clemont's advantage from Thunder Wave.
Bide is kinda anticlimatic yeah but strategy wise it made more sense to me. In the Korrina fight it just felt like Lucario was weaker than he was like 5 episodes ago, although arguably its because Korrina's just a bad battler because beforehand she was so used to Lucario doing everything on its own.

I really feel sorry for this general, because now everything who is bad is basically Goodra's fault but when he leaves who's going to be blamed? I have accepted that this general hates Goodra reasons don't need to be mentioned but this entire thread until now is just shatting on him. I liked the match people saying that bide was anticlimactic need to realize that this was a 1 parter and one way or another needed to end today so either was bide or another Pikachu's deus ex so give me your answer. I'm glad that Goodra is leaving not because I hate him in fact sometimes I feel like I'm the only one on the general who likes him but because that will take away a reason to shitpost.

The problem people have with Bide is that it's boring to watch because we've never seen it backfire. Not once in the entire show, this isn't just XY. If at some point in the past Ash had ordered Bide and it failed to charge completely then it would establish a track record of "oh damn we dont know if it'll work this time", but we know it will work because it always has.

Pikachu vs Bunnelby was a great showing from both, Hawlucha redeemed himself and was fucking awesome and Luxray was the MVP. Goodra was hax as always but his atomic bomb Bide was pretty hype.

korrina was undefeated after going back to the gym until ash showed up. she is not a bad battler.

>>23207571 It still doesn't make sense that Pikachu like 10 episodes before the gym was outclassed so badly that Lucario was basically teleporting around compared to him and Pikachu couldn't land a single hit. They really screwed up the way they portrayed Mega Luke when it first appeared. Pikachu getting strong enough to beat normal Luke I can buy, but not Mega Luke. The only way it made sense was to assume that Korrina not being used to actually issuing orders to Lucario is what caused him to be more sluggish in the gym battle.

I guess you could argue that since Lucario learned how to control its power it had to "lower" it so it wouldn't just go berserk like it used to.

he did use more stationary attacks since he didn't have aura sphere before, and didn't use metal sound. if you noticed, pikachu hit him with thunderbolt while being knocked away, and while he was using metal sound, and after being crippled by that crash, so he was being more opportunistic.

>>23207740 my complaint isn't that it was the "ohko" but rather that after all that build up with Hawlucha, and Pikachu. Goodra just uses a beam attack to end it all. its rather anticlimatic with all the other awesome moves being showcased. It could had been an awesome struggle with Luxray and Goodra just as it was during the build up to bide and then ended with a stupendous dragon pulse. instead its just bide. then again its a minority that share this thought shouldn't be seen much talked about in the future.

>>23207766 you're being an idiot. the whole point was luxray being too strong for everyone, so ash had to use its own power against it. he dampened the field so that gooddra would survive until it could use bide. he called it when luxray was about to land a hit, so it was too late not to trigger it, and it ended with clemont racing to KO him before it activates.

>>23207885 it was well animated. animation refers to the motion. the beam combined with the shockwaves and explosion was very well animated, even by the show's standards.
also that's exactly what it was doing, it reflected that swift. and i would fully expect a seven foot tall dragon to throw around an oversized cat.
your complaint boils down to preferring a rainbow beam over a white beam. that's just pedantic.

Battle was kind of meh overall, very very dynamic and pretty animation but a lot of issues for me: - Very rushed in a lot of areas and anticlimatic wins, Goodra knocking out Luxray like that was very lame. Bunnelby controls the battle against Pikachu for the majority of it and is easily defeated by one Iron Tail, really? Heliolisk hammers Hawlucha with Electric-type moves and is just defeated in a flash? Did Parabolic Charge even matter? - I guess it didn't matter how many times Clemont's Pokemon hit Ash's, it was utter dreck that Hawlucha and Pikachu survived so many moves. - Another thing about the pacing is everything moves so fast and too fast that we literally don't have time to take it in, we didn't get enough focus on Clemont and his inner thoughts nor Ash's feelings on the struggles of the match, there's no breathing room at all. - Clemont was disappointed that he didn't have enough power and came to the gym early to train and they just forgot that....? There was no real ending to that nor did we really see him or feel he was a gym leader and full fledged and comfy with his job, it was disappointing. - Luxray remains as much of a soulless battling machine as ever, we have Goodra showing off personality and all and Luxray just appears gets beaten and goes back into its ball, God at least show a flashback to its capture or something or its past.
Doryuzu
>>23208025 - Once again, Clemont didn't really feel like the gym leader here but the challenger, Ash had him on the rooms 24/7 during this battle and Ash had an answer for everything, in the Ramos and Viola battles there was some semblance of struggle and end-all be-all, that wasn't present here. It just felt so extremely casualized. We know Ash has had four gym battles up until this point and a bunch of trainer battles, heck did Clemont even do four battles while on-screen for these 60-70 episodes of XY? He was never shown to be that strong and as a result he was shown to be a pretty meh gym leader come gym time like today. I honestly think I'd rank Brock's brother as a better gym leader, nearly taking out a Latias with a well-trained Ryherior and actually caring about your job a lot is far more pleasing than beating Heliolisk(a fairly weak Pokemon from what we've seen) with a Bunnelby(undertrained and meh).
- This gym wasn't good or bad, it was simply meh. It beats the trash battle that was Korrina/Ash in presentation but it's definitely not better than Viola or Ramos's gym battles.
Can't wait for Luxray and Bunnelby to go rotting in their balls for the rest of XY, with this episode Clemont's entire relevance as a character pretty much ends. I'm hoping for redemption in the future since there's no reason for him to be Ash's satellite character anymore but that might be wishful thinking.

Something else that is a bit problematic about this gym also is the presentation, zero struggle from Ash's side or issues that impacted him and made him think. In AG he really had his work cut out for him with Norman even if he was mainly powering forward, in DP when counter shield went to crap he needed an out with Chimchar and Buizel, in BW despite the divisiveness of the Elesa battle he had to think on his feet and listen to Pikachu, things didn't go well but he still pulled out a good strategy to beat Tynamo. With how much hype and buildup there was into this gym it just was Ash steamrolling Clemont like nothing and each match ending with a whimper, almost zero strategy. Ash was not challenged at all and Clemont was eaten alive despite all his supposed training to prepare for the match his strategies meant nothing because Ash just hammered through them like a truck. You literally could replace Bunnelby or Heliolisk with a Rollout and ThunderPunch-wielding Chespin and he probably would have put up more of a fight, throw Overgrow in for hype if you wish.

Also what was the point of Thunder wave too if it was just cured instantly? Why did Bunnelby's Wild Charge get so much hype as a Pika counter and end there? Why does Bide never show any adverse effects like failing? If Clemont is smart he would have had an answer for that like holding off until it was down and overpowering it or setting up Electric Terrain again, Clemont and Tierno got straight up stomped. Where did Hawlucha's killer speed come from? Did Heliolisk not even hit it with T-Wave again despite the hype for its varied move set in the magazine. Bunnelby and Heliolisk basically were just shitmons throughout the match. I did like the small moment with Rain Dance because it was a cute callback to what makes Goodra feel positive and healthy. But still since when does rain cancel an electric field, technically it should be worse.

Both have super effective moves agains each other.. But I inderstand why Ash choose Goodra first. I mean... Goodra have high SpD and resiste electric attacks. Yeh, it doens't have and SE move against Heliolisk, and that Dragon Tail may have hurt alot, but Goodra could defeat it if it didn't get a Thunder Wave in the face.

n my opinion, this battle was not as intense as the ones in Sinnoh. This was supposed to be the climax of Clemont's story arc, however it was only a 3vs3 battle, the same as most other gym battles making it not stand out. It didn't help that Ash was completely dominating the battle with barely any struggle other than Goodra failing to keep up with Heliolisk (which was easily reversed with Goodra's Hydration later on) until Luxray came in and even then Goodra only had to take a bit of beating to unleash that one Bide and annihilate Luxray. Had this battle been 5vs5, a two-parter and more focus on the relationship between Ash and Clemont, Clemont's growth as a trainer with Ash and the emotions of both trainers, it would've been grand enough to deserve the title of the most intense battle in the season. However, most gym battles in Kalos were more exciting (this is just my opinion btw. You may disagree with it and it's fine) and even the Ash vs Tierno battle in the previous episode was intense enough to compete with this episode.

Guys, the summary of XY070 went mostly ignored, but it said that Ash learns of the true reason behind the Florges attack on Goodra's homeland. Doesn't this at least imply evil Malamar/maybe even what's behind them as well/possibly a lead-in to Team Flare?

Oh god the animation. Mega Lucario's match was already top notch, but the Brobowl just blew everything away. It has the best jojo poses, dynamic trainer animation, great camera movements, intense line art (mostly Luxray) and also great plays on the lighting while Electric terrain was active. The final beam of destruction was the icing on the cake, it indeed blew everything away.

Ok, that was the best gym battle we ever had. I already thought this season's gym battles were the best you could hope for, but this one stands at the top. The constant back and forth between Citron's and Ash's opposite styles, plans against improvisation, was what made it great. While we always had this kind of schema in previous battles, here it was played on an even higher level. I think it mainly comes from Citron's strategies, like Bunnelby's combo of Wild Charge + Dig as to not be vulnerable after the damage recoil (that seemed like a shout out to Gliscor's Giga Impact), usage of status moves and terrain manipulation. All of these added to the stunning animation will make it hard for any future battles to top it off.

I love all of XY's battles, but here are some small improvements I would make to the gyms: Grant: - rock polish should have Onix spin around, sort of coiling, shaking the ground and making a bunch of dust and shit. then his rocks shimmer a bit. - the matrix iron tail should have had more momentum. it just sort of stops abruptly. - the water pulse to the face should have made that naruto bubble first, like in the sylveon fight. - pikachu and tyrunt should have paused in the air for a sec and spun when they tailed each other. it sort of looked like they crashed head on. Korrina: - lucario should have been hit by static. i know he was immobilized for the last thunderbolt because pikachu broke his fucking arm, and was bouncing back after slamming him with an electro ball, but static would have been more coherent. - the aura sphere electro ball clash should have had more of an after-effect, instead of just immediately cutting to thunderbolt. - the aura sphere pikachu deflected should have hit the wall behind ash. Ramos: - more explicit hints at Protean. i know it's implied, but it could have been more clear that using aerial ace allowed frogadier to use an aerial double team. - last water pulse seemed a bit stiff. Clemont: - some debris on the ground after pikachu destroys it with iron tail. - hawlucha bracing his leg before HJK. i buy that he's fast as shit, just like the games, but it seemed a bit too sudden. just a second of him adjusting or stomping his foot would work. - more clear indication that bide wasn't avoidable. maybe even the giant beam reflected in clemont's glasses. - a more impactful final hit before bide is released. swift pelleting goodra is what made bide seem abrupt. thoughts?
