What do you guys think about the progress of Ash's Companions on how far they already have come since the last Episode they appeared in?
-Misty and Brock are already known.
-Lillie is still on the hunt for her dad.
-From the the special preview, we see Iris in her Champ Attire, suggesting she became the Unova Champion.
-Gary is also shown in the special preview,
but nothing more.
What about the others? Like Max? Serena? Cilan?

Except no one was bitching? It started with one fag who said SM was the most hated series on /padt/ amd XY was the most loved and claimed that the thread before the one proved it. Which it didn't, as it was literally just recycled arguments from 2018. And people talked about the cancer that was SM era padt and trash like the obsessive lolitards who ruined any chance of actual discussion back then. But I guess it hit too close to home for you

Lol, I swear, SMfags can't see reality when it's staring at them. Much of the thread was filled of SMfags complaining about how people didn't give SM a chance because of how different it was and getting mad cause people didn't like its iteration of Ash which built on the thread before which was an even bigger example of the cope.

But this is true, which does not really mean anything. Popularity and quality are different things.

The question is why do you care about something superficial (artstyle) so intensely that you start shitting on everything the series did for the same reason (artstyle).
You may not admit it, but that is the real reason for all the anger.

Why would I answer such an idiotic question? How a show looks is already incredibly important so dismissing that wholescale is just completely unserious. That's not even getting into the fact that SM was starkly different in tone, direction, and approach to storytelling which people extensively shit on as well. Sure, the artstyle was shit on the most, but pretending like people didn't like the other parts of SM is just denying reality. Why can't SMfags just accept that?

The common problems I’ve seen in regards to SM were

>The tone shift and more comedy focused
>Ash’s character being regressed
>the characters not doing anything of significance
>no clear direction with long gaps of time where nothing of more really happens
>events happen at random with little to no build up
>plot points and character arcs are wrapped up unceremoniously and or half assed

All of Ash's current team is there, so yeah, Mega Lucario is Ash's. You see Dragonite, Sir'fetch'd, Gengar and Dracovish.

Also obvious Ash isn't getting Absol. I guess Korrina's next appearance really was to give Ash a Mega stone.

I'm not saying that the series didn't have flaws, they all did. I'm saying that the motive of artstyle became an excuse for many other criticisms. To the point that you see someone saying that Ash's farewell was bad just because.

I wonder why they made so many pointless fillers instead of getting to this plot stuff earlier. Did we really need a Diglett filler? A Plusle/Minun filler?

I'll excuse stuff like the Koharu/Psyduck ep or Dracovish/water race ep because it provides some development for the characters, but the others fillers were pointless.

Your post is just unintelligible and embarrassing anon. Buzzwords are necessary because the coping is off the charts. Equating the term " judging a book by its cover " to people shitting on how SM looks to dismiss the argument is some low IQ level shit. The aesthetic of an anime series and its appearance is central to its appeal. The audience is watching the media and if they have to bleach their eyes to consume something, the series already has major problems.
>No fuck, You really saw the poster.
...Yes? The poster, along with other pieces of information and media like the fact that Ash would be in school along with previews gave an indication of how starkly different the show which was confirmed when the series started airing. As I said, if you want to a place to bitch and groan about how much SM was wronged, Twitter is a great safe place for that. Discussing SM and complaining about the people who didn't like it aren't the same thing.

Not that anon, but what you're basically implying is you're not allowed to defend SM anywhere but Twitter. Is there anything wrong with defending a season here instead of it being only allowed in one place on the net? I mean other seasons get defended on /padt/ too without complaint, including XY (people here do complain about XY fans not moving on, but actual XY defenses are usually tolerated except by shitposters), so why shouldn't SM be allowed similar treatment?

At least some of those fillers aren't really fillers since they develop the characters or the Pokemon. The newest episode is filler but it does give Eevee some character development, I don't know if the same could be said about something like the Plusle and Minum episode (in spite of how fun it was).

I do agree that SMfags here have a bit of a victim complex, but it just sort of happened naturally due to how harsh the general was towards their series. I'm not defending it and it can get annoying too, I just can see where it's coming from. And a lot of the hate for SM here does come simply from the art, instead of its other flaws.

Well I stand corrected then. I still remember how shit these threads were back then and how intolerant the environment was at the time. There's been recovery since then but it's arguable that /padt/ has yet to fully recover from that era.

XYfags are pretty much regularly shit on for living in the past and not being able to move on. How many times do you see people call out SMfags for their victim complex? When I said it was something that is inherent to their DNA, I wasn't lying. I agree that it was a natural reaction to how harsh the fandom was to Sun and Moon, but it's come to a point where " defending " SM is really just complaining about the people who didn't like it.

XYfags and SMfags on /padt/ both have victim complexes but for different reasons: XYfags get attacked for being stuck in the past or being obsessed with shipping, and SMfags for not fully accepting that the reception that SM got wasn't the greatest.

Don't really disagree with this besides rewording it to say SMfags for not fully accepting that the reception that SM got wasn't the greatest for defendable reasons. Not reasons that you have to agree with, but defendable reasons. I also disagree with the implication that their level of annoyance is similar to XYfags for nostalgiaposting and being stuck in the post(agree with obsessed with shipping is similar in annoyance) although that is just my own biases.

Anon I’m agreeing with you. SMfags have this weird victim complex just because their series got near universal disdain and they always go all “oh by XY fans are meanie poos >:(“. It’s fucking annoying and the mental gymnastics they go through to deny every complaint about the series or go “oh but XY was worse” or “oh well other series have this other problem” or even “ oh well at least the animation is the best it’s ever been” like fuck off

I said earlier that they care too much about what other people think of the season, and they can’t allow other people to have differing opinions especially if it’s against SM. DP and XY are my favorite seasons and they definitely had their flaws, but at least I can admit that. I have yet to meet anyone in the “Sun and Moon positivity community” that can admit the flaws of the show

XYfags are obsessed with shipping because shipping was a huge part of the show at that point. You literally had the main girl crushing on Ash while the other main girl always trying to wife up her brother. You had Milliefue and Shauna teasing and even sometimes crushing on Ash themselves, and Tripokalon Waifu wars were a thing in these threads that added to the culture.

SM didn’t have a sense of community like XY did. I could come to /padt/ and genuinely have fun and spend hours of my day discussing XY and all other kinds of shit going on with the anime while SM had none of that. SM sucked.

To be fair, the same can't be said for some other XY fans on this general.

>I have yet to meet anyone in the “Sun and Moon positivity community” that can admit the flaws of the show
From what I've read some of them didn't like the way how Hau lost, the Ultra Beast arc, Shaymin's lack of screentime, some characters not appearing until very late into the series (like Guzma or Hau), and so on. Some do act like the way you said but others did point out flaws in the series and accepted that they existed.

Most of time if people weren’t being hyper defensive about the art style and comedy shift, they were acting like they were animation elites. It was just unbearable.

Let's not forget that I have never seen any SMfag admit that SM has flaws. Any argument presented by the fans of other series is ignored by them.
DPfags agree that Ambipom release was bullshit, Tobias was bullshit and Brock wasn't utilized to his full potential.
XYfags agree that Serena was mostly just an eyecandy for the first half of XY's run, the writers could add a bit more references to the previous series and Alain was turbo bullshit.
But SMfags? They always treat their series like it is something without any flaws and any criticism no matter how valid is a presonal attack towards them.

XY stands out as this one kinda weird exception where it feels like pokeani was plunged into a dimension where it IS in line with those shitty harmful anime tropes. its female leads are two popular hentai/lolicon sterotypes–a shyer, more soft-spoken mother/housewife type, and a “snarky little sister” character. while i didn’t see a lot of gross shit in fandom revolving around bonnie/eureka (thank god) i did see a lot with serena. more than i’ve seen with any other pokegirl, save for misty/kasumi’s treatment with american audiences. i wanna say upfront that i ADORE serena, but i do feel like her personality is custom tailored to appeal to male anime fans who are meant to be attracted to her.

I could make a similarly effective rhetorically strong statement of opinion just saying what she did bring to the table and how her journey wasn't " little " and why things like her learning that she's good enough and wants to make people smile was emotionally resonant, exciting, and worthy of discussion. I could talk about she was immensely relatable because of her character overcoming a feeling of directionless in one's life and why that was incredibly inspiring and engaging to watch unfold.
The point is that it's an opinion and that it's what I feel about Serena similar to how that anon would disagree with all of this because of how he felt. He isn't make affrmative statements of objective fact one can really disprove. All the anon really did was a pointless rhetorical exercise done to get the Serena hatters jizzing their pants because most of them don't have the collective IQ to string together a coherent paragraph as to why they don't like Serena.

If the opening is updated around June or so, I suspect the next 3 returning characters are Lillie, Bonnie/Clemont, then Dawn.

- Alolan Ninetails is on the poster, and its been awhile since the last ep on SM characters. Lillie will get her own episode

- Luxray for Bonnie/Clemont. I only hope Bonnie gets to do something in this ep and isn't just in the background

- Piplup if the Dawn advertising starts early

I also hope Cilan gets an ep eventually, he appeared in 2016 so they can get his VA back again.

Explain why coomrats in these threads prefer Serena over Gou despite the fact that Gou has much more to do with the concept and foundation of Pokemon while Serena is just a demure little waifu with a crush. It's a bit odd considering there are tons of other low budget anime that would cover the exact things they love about Serena. There's nothing new or exciting about a shy anime girl, and she certainly doesn't elevate the Pokemon formula with her generic cutesy routine.
Are Pokemon fans really that unfamiliar with media that they find value in something so shallow and undercooked just because its new? Gou's goal brings he and Ash to new settings to see all sorts of different Pokemon. Because of Gou, a wider array of Pokemon are getting animated and being given a spotlight, albeit a brief one. Despite this, people think Gou is ruining Pokemon but cry for Serena's return. Would you agree that these people are dense, or are you among them?

This really just reads like a Gohfag insecure that much of the fanbase doesn't like him. I don't understand how it's so hard to comprehend. Some people like Lillie because they found the idea of her overcoming her fear engaging simlilar to how some Serenafags like her because of what I talked about. It's the same for other characters in Pokemon like Dawn and May. I don't understand how this is a hard concept to grasp anon. Many people don't find that " Goh has much to do with the concept and foundation of Pokemon " or that they do, but find it just uninteresting. Does this anger you? Are you enraged by the fact that people don't like Goh? I was able to read you saying stating " Serena is just a demure little waifu " without taking it like a personal attack on Serena or on me because I'm aware that everyone has an opinion and can relate to different things and different people?
Man, insecurity and inability to accept different opinions has really just come to define much of the pokemon anime fanbase.

You misunderstand me. I'm not gonna falsely attribute Goh with any great character traits or pretend he's some amazing character. He's paper thin and is also inconsistent from episode to episode. What I'm pointing out, and what you might be missing, is that despite the fact that he's not really any more special than Serena in any way as a character, his presence is healthier for a show called "Pokemon" than Serena. His goal organically pulls the show where it ought to go as opposed to dragging it down. My criticism stands. While one paper thin character can drag the show down with generic blushy shit, another paper thin character can pull the show along with a simple but versatile goal, and the ability to take comedic lumps they'd never give Serena.

They think his presence is unhealthy for the the show. People believe that the direction his goal pulls the show are pointless and unengaging. There is no bonding wiith much of the Pokemon he catches. They find his character to lead the anime in continual episodes of endless stagnation where much of the fanbase just rolls their eyes in wait for an interesting plot arc or even episodes that move the characters and Pokemon along in a way that isn't defined just through the incredibly boring act of catching Pokemon in Journeys. You suggested that Pokemon fans find value things that are shallow and undercooked and I could quite easily turn this same criticism on to Goh. His paper-thin character is the epitome of what you described there and the settings and Pokemon his goal does allow to be spotlighted are treated in the most uninteresting way imaginable. These aren't hard things to grasp and are easily understandable and defendable reasons as to why Goh might be disliked.

But of course because of the aforementioned, the people who actually liked the series had to go elsewhere to discuss it since /padt/ was so hellbent on think SM was "dull and uneventful" and busy discussing about XY and lolis 24/7.

Exactly. They have been pretty smart with Chloe's usage so far. When she shows up it is usually for an episode where she is the focus or an episode where she plays an important role. What they are doing with Chloe is what they should have done with Serena (and Lillie for that matter). Serena should have been the rival and Lillie should have strictly been a side character like Chloe.

Koharu still does not have a goal at all and we more than a year into PM. If you really want to be objective, you should only count character development episodes for each one of them since Serena HAD TO appear due to the old formula. And from what I can recall Serena has slightly more of them than Koharu.

The writers are trying the same thing for the third time now. First was May, then Serena and now we have Koharu. Each time the time for the girl to find her real goal is longer. It is pretty dumb saying that Koharu is so much better than serena when in reality Koharu is just Serena minus the shipping aspect.

I wouldn't go as far as calling her a "side character". She's not a co-protagonist like Dawn or Goh are, I guess she's closer to the Alola girls except she appears less often (and remember that the Alola cast wasn't complete in every episode either). Besides, she's the closest this series has to a main girl. She's definitely not like previous girls but she's not exactly a side character either, perhaps somewhere between being one and a main.

Maybe. But she is not pursuing anything on her own. Eevee is clearly written to be a reflection of Koharu. The same way Eevee is not able to evolve right now, Koharu does not really know what to do with her life in th future. And again, it is pretty similar to the Serena/Fennekin dynamic in which the mon and the trainer had the same traits. Plot is simple yet it is so ingrained in a human culture that it is interesting no matter how often it is repeated.

But this goal seems pointless. So what if Eevee will evolve or finally decide to stay unevolved? What will happen to Koharu? Goal has to be pretty ambiguous (Pokemon Master, Dragon Master) or very hard to reach (Getting Mew) for the character to have an incentive to push forward for a long time. Even Serena who was limited to a Kalos-only competition branched out into Contests to keep herself motivated and Cilan's Conniseur thing is super ambiguos allowing him to travel around the world.

Yamper is already on the sidelines, imagine what would happen if she somehow managed to get another pokemon? *cough* Alcreamie *cough* Her "goal" is only compatibile with Eevee and cannot really branch out. Even Alain with his "I want to be the strongest with Charizard" made him use other mons when he had to fight in a format other than 1v1.

Well, should I word it differently. Overcoming common obstacles is a common trope for a vast majority of anipoke characters with a clear goal. Does Koharu have anything in common with Eevee besides the fact that they really do not know what they want to be? No. Koharu right now is no better than long hair Serena. I might even say that even Serena looks good compared to Koharu now because she actively tried to find something that interests her (fishing, pokevision). Don't get me wrong, Koharu i my opinion is way better written than Go and her development seems way more interesting it is just sad that it is so goddamn slow and still in its beginning stages.

The thing is multiple Eevee on the cast is fine because Eevee is always a pokemon that could potentially evolve and be marketed.

Piplup was heavily associated with Dawn in the anime, to the point where when we do have other Piplup in the show like in Movie 20 or the filler character in episode 8, people think of Dawn's anyway. It's hard to imagine a Piplup as a staple on the cast that wasn't Dawn's in some way, and it would be hard to differentiate a new one.

Hell, didn't the Piplup in Movie 20 and the 8th ep of Journies have the same personality as Dawn's Piplup anyway?

Only problem if Clemont gets a cameo soon is it means the chances of Bonnie reuniting with Squishy are probably dead. Zygarde would have been in the toysets so instead Bonnie is probably going to do nothing but act cute in Clemont's cameo while he battles or does whatever happens in the ep.

Shame, I wanted a Bonnie/Squishy reunion arc.

Bonnie/Squishy reunion means Greninja coming back. And this is an event of such a magnitude that it will happen right before the Masters 8 tournament if the writers will have the balls to give us the frog back.

We haven't heard anything about May's Japanese VA, so personally I'd put May's chances at 50/50, she either will or won't appear in Journeys.

To clarify, there's been no info about May's VA's condition since those rumours about her having a throat condition surfaced.

From what I gather is her type of condition isn't something you can recover from, it caused permanent damage to her lungs. She can still talk of course, but she can't perform long extended voice acting or singing which she used to do.

I said what I said, because there was a post on twitter by AshandSerena (No it's not necessarily what you think it is; that's just their twitter handle) that KAORI did recover somewhat a couple of years back.

So... I don't know, I'll keep her chances at 50/50 for now.

Anyone claiming KAORI won’t return just because of her lung damage way back when, is retarded. Even when seiyuus retire, they can still be called upon for special appearances or cameos. Yugi’s seiyuu has literally only voiced Yugi his entire career, retired years ago, but still appears almost annually to do special live duels at tournaments or events.

Youd think that, but it seems like the writers are at least attempting to go for broke this series (so far PM has had a problem with overpromising and underdelivering see alola ep as an example). Its not off the table to have mega lucario, and honestly I wouldnt be surprised if he ends up battling with several of his previous pokemon in the PWC going forward, depending on the reception to infernape probably. As an xyfag, im kind of meh on this since it decreases the likelihood of greninja being used as an ace for some important fights (itll probably appear at least once but not more than that), but overall megas are vastly superior to dynashit so im ok with it if it means we get lots of hyper class battles, and most of the master class battles not being in galar.

Masters 8 is a tournament bracket, right? This means 4 matches being possibly 6v6 if the writers "retcon" Lance vs Leon or introduce a new set of rules for this season of PWC (maybe due to Rose losing his position or something?).

Yeah, I think how it works is that theres a “regular season” which decides the top 8 in the ladder and then the deciding tournament. However, if that means a bunch of galar 6v6s Im kinda not looking forward to it. Compared to regular/mega battles dmax battles are just so stagnant and arent that hype to watch after the first time. Im ok with ash vs leon being galar, but for example a hypothetical ash vs cynthia would be far more interesting to see in another region without dmax, and cynthia using mega garchomp

XY, SM, and Journeys are all unbelievably solid when you can watch them when you want/have a backlog to watch. They're easy on the eyes, they all have their own quirk/major idea, and they all feel fresher and more alive than the sterile dookie that came before them. As always, watching on a week-to-week basis hoping that something awesome and monumental will happen is AIDS. At most, you can half expect that an episode will be funny, but when it isn't even funny, it feels awful. Otherwise, the anime is healthier and smarter now than it was before.

Its a sort of mix, obviously this fanbase overhypes everything to shit, but also the show tends to present upcoming content in a way that generates hype(as any show should to be fair lol). Whether thats in magazine articles or merch or whatever, they introduce these big plot points, which they KNOW will generate a lot of excitement and high expectations, and end up dropping the ball. This isnt malicious on their part or anything obviously, but thats the problem. The writers set up these big plot points which have high expectations quality wise to do the characters justice, and they dont deliver. Im not even an smfag, i actually dislike it. But its clear as day to anyone that they didnt do that well

Again, where did the Alola episode do any of this. What we got was
>Ash reuniting with his Pokemon and friends in Alola
>Small update on Lillie's search for Mohn
>Go having his status as Ash's companion challenged by Kiawe
There was nothing set up about a major plot point, not in the episode, and not in any magazines. It was way too self-contained, if anything. Hell, even Kukui and Burnet's baby being born was nowhere near as big of a deal than what the fans made it out to be. People freaked out over it's implications on the timeline when the show and adverts proposed it as nothing more than a nice bit of continuity

If theoretically she were to come back, could it be possible to make it so that KAORI would have an easier time Voice Acting? Like for example, having May's voice be closer to KAORI's natural speaking voice?

That scene confuses me. Is it still an Axew, or is that a flashback?

I don't know what possibility is stupider: the one where the writers didn't have the balls to just let her have her signature pokémon, or the one where she actually does have Haxorus, but it's a separate one from Axew?

Ash didn't get the Absol, Goh did. Well, it doesn't matter, honestly. However, the mysterious Alolan Ninetales, THAT is a Pokemon I wantAsh to capture. Why?
+ It makes reference about a past partner, lillie, just like his Dragonite makes reference to Iris.
+ It combines two types Ash has very few members, Ice and Fairy. Just like I knew Ash would get Gengar because it was time for him to finally have a Ghost type officially.
+ In one episode, Ash took care of Snowy and he even battle with it; so Ash has experience.

Don't be ridiculous! Iris MIGHT be the new Gym Leader of the Dragon Gym, not theUnova Champion. Maybe Drayden could be the new Champion of Unova.

anon, you are assuming you have no arguments.

because?
>is central to its appeal
But is it all that matters or not?
>gave an indication
Yeah, the poster already gave the premise of the series. But you're still complaining about the premise even after all the episodes.
>As I said, if you want to a place to bitch
As I said, no.

>bitching about the people who didn't like it.
No, the question is basically why to criticize something because of such a superficial aspect.

>XYfags agree that Serena was mostly just an eyecandy for the first half of XY's run, the writers could add a bit more references to the previous series and Alain was turbo bullshit.
it is exactly the opposite. I've seen many here saying that XY was the best series (which is far from being true, the best are DP and OS), that Serena was the best Pokegirl (absolute lie).

Show me the examples there.
And the point is that it has changed since the OS.
