>>279743504>>279743537So I assume we're getting a Liko recap too, but are they really going to give us an Uruto one? Is there even anything to recap there?
Any ideas for when Amethio will show up again?
>>279743630It'll be less a recap and probably just propping up a bio with some snippets that allude to his involvement.
>>279743690I can see it happening this week, it seems like they're going to drop some big bombshells at us at the end of the episode with the mysterious audio call and stuff.
>>279743630They might do a Friede one.
>>279743592There's been oddly little promotion of episode 101 for an episode that brings back so many old characters.
>>279742948Jump in without a care. You won't miss out on anything you need to know beforehand. It's more story oriented but if you like the game characters primarily, you can jump in from the 46th episode where enough details provided for the main meat of the story. It's mainly focusing on the newer characters from Gen 8 and 9 so reading up a bit on the games wouldnt hurt if haven't kept up with the source material.
>>279743765Amethio would give it straight without the mystique.
>>279743984There's really not much to gain from reading up on the game plots beyond potential confusion caused by the anime not adhering all that close to it. Jumping in mid series is also really not recommended.
>>279744125No, I don't think Amethio is the one calling (it's most likely Friede, MAYBE Diana or Hamber), I mean we might get a short scene at the end showing what happened to him similar to the one we got with Zir and Conia a bit back.
>>279742428 (OP)I dropped it right after zygarde's battle because I was so tired of its nonsense.
I miss Sango.
>>279744281You missed her most recent episode, the one that mp4 is from.
>>279744164I said a BIT and nothing about the game plot, not everything. Geez, if I said the anime strictly follows the games story then you'd have a point. But knowing just a bit like the available characters isn't hurting anyone.
>>279744453Might as well download it. I started watching the show for her and by the end of it her silly short-tempered mesugaki antics were the only thing I was enjoying in the show.
I liked Liko and Roy's adventure at first, but as it dragged on and on I started to hate them and the mix of schoolyard motivations/priorities with serious catastrophic stakes spent what little was left of my patience.
>>279744793Shame. Liko and Dot are such enjoyable characters, and it's been great watching them grow.
>>279743457So are we just not going to see the third one?
>>279743504>>"By singing together, we can be on the same page even if we don't speak the same language."Not a bad idea. The Paradoxmon that hummed his anthem was based
>>279745013There were some nice thigns about them here and there but they were sparce and dilated in time. I liked the pace they were moving at first, but then after lapras they froze all of a sudden (they got 3 of the 6 heroes within 35 episodes, then needed another 35 to get ANYTHING about the next ones) and the Paldea arc made it very clear they were willing to sacrifice anything to make this series last as long as possible. I just don't trust this series not to drag itself into another Paldea arc.
Them going all "no this was OUR adventure, not your keikaku" while an ancient plague was about to be released into the world was very smackable. They might have grown but they still had a lot of growing up to do.
>>279743592So the Rakurium is pure steroids?
>>279743537>Croc in a human body has more Rizz than his trainerWow
>>279744211Hamber is more likely. Getting more hands on board helps.
>>279745432The Paldea arc really just felt like executive meddling telling them to feature stuff from the actual game, so they speedran the main gym plot in half a year and then got back to the main story, though it was fairly entertaining despite largely bringing the actual plot to a halt for a while. Sandwich was glorious
>>279743043Ah, I just noticed Riko dropped the Pokemon League-themed hairpin. No more Ash reference.
>>279745955>Thinking a hairpin of a LEAGUE refers to another CHARACTER Get bent retard.
>>279745987Uruto is confused.
>>279743592>Roy and Nemo also have their first battle in quite a while: A clash between Lucario and Parmot!!So the anime is gonna do the Tera vs Mega thing before Champions?
Riko? Spinel's rightful clay.
>>279745955>>279746153It's not even that, it's an L for Liko.
>>279743119But Metagross is genderless. Or was genderless just referring to the gamebit that in-universe nobody was able to tell if it was male or female?
>>279745987Cuter and gayer than ever.
>>279746252I don't care about the R or L name but forcing implications onto something like a bloody accessory is always retarded.
>>279746341A lottery from my country.
>>279746285It's "gender unknown", not "genderless". The anime has at the very least used "kare" for Mewtwo and "kanojo" for Diancie despite both of them being "gender unknown" in the games, it's mostly just a gimmick to keep them from being bred.
>>279746341Tinka, Kanuchan. Who cares? its the same pink blop
So if I get this right, Lucius outlived, even if it's by outside technicalities, his own daughter?
Thats depressing to think about it.
What did Spinel do to deserve this?
>>279746369Nigga what the fuck are you talking about, Roy has an R on his shirt in both his pre and post timeskip outfits too, and Liko's new hairpin is a こ for りこ. Dot had a d on her old jacket and a ド on her current one.
Do you think Sango will run over to the crew at one point? Starting to doubt it after her partner shows cracks from the Rakurium usage.
>>279746707Yeah, the scene at the end of Terastal Debut heavily suggested she and Onyx will eventually switch sides. Her reaction to Spinel taking over at the end of the Rakua arc wasn't exactly positive either.
>>279746558>Dot had a d on her old jacket and a ド on her current one.Oh shit, never noticed that.
>>279746796It was more shock than flatout anger from the shift. While not innately positive, she probably gets off on the positive attention.
>>279747867Oh dear lord she stinks.
>>279747867Will Dot grow up to be as big as Kaede?
>>279748984Not with her diet, thankfully.
>>279746707Nah, she will go out in a blaze of glory.
>>279746201Chances are Z-A will have it too.
>>279750367So when the fuck are we going to see him again?
>>279742776So we're not getting more illustrations like this one for the other chapters?
>>279752861They are so in love.
>>279751970I think at least one more for the current one.

🔍
Looking at recent episode of Gundam Gquuuux , wouldn't it be cool if Liko encounter a mysterious "Shuiji" who at the final episode turns out to be Ash? I guess the anime would need to get rid of his lighting mark on his cheek, change his hairstyle, make him wear different type of clothes and make him taller like Roy.
>>279751129>So when the fuck are we going to see him again?Somewhere between revealing his next masterplan.
>>279756697Why are they like that?
>>279751970I think if we were getting more than one, we'd have gotten them already by now.

I want him to go back to CG sets with dialogue
>>279769095It will be one day.
>>279767918Yeah, Rakurium is literally uppers for Pokemon. Quite daring theme to touch upon in a franchise known for playing it safe.
>>279769342If a Pokemon actually gets evaporated from the plain of existence like Lucius and Gibeon did then I'd be impressed.

>>279769889Has it really? I feel like we rarely ever see it, which doesn't exactly help making it feel like a natural part of Roy's team.

>>279772871Because they're in love.

What happened to dialogue like this?
> Paul was more experienced and skilled than Roy but he didn't last. a second against Cynthia.
> Kieran worked nonstop to become BB League Champion and he got destroyed by Nemona.
It doesn't matter Roy has billions years of timeskip, he is still undeveloped island boy. If the anime force Nemona to lose to Roy than it will cause a backlash and make Paldea look weak & pathetic. Nobody would consider Roy to be better, he will be just another plot armor OC that receives favouritism.
>>279742801So what's this going to be anyway, a music video?
>>279742428 (OP)dull and uneventful
>>279771101Sango will strike back with a vengeance.
>>279742583>So when is the Brat gonna get the redpill that Rakurium isnt the hot shit?When her Glalie either starts melting or evaporates.
>>279742948Do it, you won't miss out on anything from the earlier entries.
>>279773557Some kind of recap, at least. If it was a trailer, they'd air it on TV, not release it on Twitter.
>>279743263And Dot is still not considered a protagonist.
>>279767007>New sticker set from Pokemon Pan. Could this be suggesting Seille, Suguri and future Paradoxes in the near future?I wouldn't complain about it
>>279773706She functionally is one.
>>279773837I want to rape that laugh off her face so bad.
>>279773837What is she laughing at?
>>279774875Kaede Ciao is a fucking miracle.
Are we getting an upcoming episodes preview this Friday?
>>279746554He held Liko's hand
>>279775987Hair down Nanjamo is always a treat.
>>279776022Aoki's girl needs to stop selling out.
>>279776162She's a streamer, her job is literally selling out.
This week's Nicolive ratings.
Ouch.
>>279777080imagine the backlash when the anime force Nemona to lose to Roy.
>>279777080What do they have to do.
>>279777208Less depressing episodes, I take it. A lot of the recent episodes have performed poorly, and most of them share the common trait of being kinda downer eps.
>>279777080>One of the best episodes of the arc is one of the worst ratingsWhy do people on Nicolive have shit taste?
>>279777208Bring back Satoshi somehow, even the one from the movie trilogy is fine.
Stop pretending to not know, it's pathetic.
>>279777401PM23 is performing much better than PM19 on average.
>>279777394>>279777443Stop putting so much stock into it then.
>>279769361>If a Pokemon actually gets evaporated from the plain of existence like Lucius and Gibeon did then I'd be impressed.That might be a bit too much for the pokemon note.
Crippling on the other hand is another subject matter.
>>279742428 (OP)So what is your guess about why Uruto is being awkward around women?
>>279777654He got Sango'd.
>>279777654Too much teasing from a girl in his hometown.
>>279777443Not than episodes focused on Satoshi.
>>279777654>So what is your guess about why Uruto is being awkward around women?The female side of his family being just obtuse.
>>279777688Almost every episode focuses on Satoshi dipshit. It came free with being the fucking protagonist of his series.
>>279777654>So what is your guess about why Uruto is being awkward around women?His dad bluepilled him too much on them and he has no mother in his life.
>>279777738Just don't reply.
>>279742870>>279742894I wonder why gave to the explorers even more members? Maybe because Amethio group does not count as villains anymore?
Talking about him. Hoping learn somethign about Amethio situation again soon.
>>279777738Duke it out with that fanboying moron on /vp/, keep the petty serieswar shjt out of here.
>>279777757>I wonder why gave to the explorers even more members?Why should a bad guy group enlist more members? It's as if they get more things done.
>>279777757Spinel can effectively off-load more minor duties onto them. Plus if things go south, he can let them take the fall.

>>279777838 theory. Might be a warped case of Yuno and her boy where the girl in question was bad at showing affection for him.
>>279777798>Why should a bad guy group enlist more members? It's as if they get more things done.Saying it because IN THEORY we only have 3 mains and the enemy already has the Strong Spheres that Buffs the pokemon.
>>279777818Hmmm.. Perhaps even with Strong Spheres they will be weaker than the others like Amethio subbordinates.
>>279777654He grew up with deranged females.
Liko weirding him out by being would be a notable indicator of that
>>279777946In theory Spinel can do whatever he wants with the explorers. The ones with the new grunts might be the spectrum of enlisting some not-so-honest crooks to get some more dirty deals done.
>>279777738>Almost every episode focuses on SatoshiNot in PM19, which you brought up, nasty schizo.
>>279777756 if you didn't watch the show.
Sango, Onyx, Spinel and Agate have always been referred to as the Explorers' executives, so the implicating that there's a bunch of other lesser members as well has always been there. We just never saw anyone other than Zir and Conia.
>>279777946It's not explicitly about the strength, it's about getting things rolling. He has multi-layered plans in which he accounts for multiple situations. Amethio escaping only to be recorded helping Liko out of the cave is what tipped off to the mindset. Him keeping both sides of the Rakurium business rolling would favor him bigly.

>>279778026While that is true, Spinel branching it out isn't out of the question. He generously fixes the damage caused at the mountain where Rakua was located.

>>279778069Yeah, I just don't see this as an example of that. The Explorers was always a reasonably big group.
>>279742673why so many niggers in this show?
>>279778098I think the ones that were shown last week were the ones from the pre-Spinel leadership. The ones under Spinel might be more forceful under the redpill of his leadership.

The existence of a obsessive grass Pokemon more humanly-shaped has been a weird design. While her jealousy moments in the anime are golden, I am still skeptical behind the design decisions of her.

>>279778923No, it is. We've followed the croc since it and Roy met, seeing it evolve into its final form is an important milestone we should see in real time because it should come at a major moment. Roy catching a pokemon of screen isn't a big deal because its brand new and we have no prior attachment to it.

>>279780414I don't want Uruto to go down the Incel route. But him getting over his fear through abnormal means would be funny.

>>279778923>>279779219I'm sure we'll get a flashback episode at some point going over what Roy did in the last year, how he met Uruto, etc. But they really need to give that Lucario some character here in the present. It's done nothing but pop out for battles, fight stoically, then goes back in the ball. I'm not asking for it to be as full of life as Yamirami is but just have SOME personality, even if it's as basic as being a battle autist.

>>279789942Is there a life-sized plush of that yet?
>>279794365Thinking it might be Uruto actually, since this is their first time battling together, and their only real interaction so far has been him getting freaked out about her being a girl.

But yes.

>>279778160>The ones under Spinel might be more forceful under the redpill of his leadership.As in maybe taking a more brutal approach or them taking his words to heart?
>>279798289That one is my favourite mainly for all the plays that were pulled.
The entire "protagonist" label is a pretty meaningless marketing thing, Roy was never treated as AS important as Liko by the show itself, and once Dot got elevated out of her initial side character gig, the three were clearly treated as a trio rather than "two main characters and a sidekick". It's just a relic of super early promotion.
>>279805454He'll be back, right?
>>279805614Maybe for another trip into myths and the sorts.
>>279805614He'll be back next cour to replace Friede as the leader.
https://x.com/ichigatu_aisu/status/1928028005319758017/photo/1
>>279805614Despite his being part of the RVTs, he's basically a character of the day. Expect maybe another minor appearance similar to Karna.
>>279805614Would be cool if the voice message came from him.

What kind of name is Liko, anyways?
>>279811714From liko (Hawaiian for "leaf bud" and "sparkling")
6781661
md5: f9d8514f517ed074516fcf57072992dc
🔍
>>279811714It's a fairly common Japanese name, romanized in a somewhat unusual but not unheard of way.
>>279812525This is correct.
>>279812321This is just dumb esls focusing way too hard on the specific romanization and desperately trying to find SOME kind of rationale for it.
>>279812729I mean, she has a grass cat (leaf bud) and uses Terastal (sparkling).
>>279812890Yes, which is why it probably made sense to whoever wrote that explanation... but it's still claiming that a character with zero connection to Hawaii is supposedly named after some random ass Hawaiian word nobody would be expected to know, which is pretty dubious at best. Coincidences are a thing.
>>279813145I mean, they made Sun and Moon. They may know a bit hawaiian (why would they give a hawaiian name to a spanish girl, I don't know. Then again, Friede is japanese).
>>279813193But her name is just spelled リコ in Japanese, which is a common name. There's no reason to assume the choice of romanizing it with an L instead of an R holds some super deep meaning and start looking for potential words that happen to be spelled "liko".
アメジオ obviously comes from アメジスト, but they still chose to spell it Amethio with an i even though アメジスト is "amethyst" with an y, does there need to be some special reason for that too? Nips don't really pay THAT much attention to how names and terms are romanized, the character is called "リコ" to them, not "Liko".
>>279813193>>279813385Yeah, it's just some weird ESL theory from a wiki that doesn't have the best track record when it comes to shit like this. It's the same place that suggests "Kasumi" might come from "umi", showing a hilariously poor understanding of how Japanese works.
The nip Pokemon wiki doesn't have any kind of suggestion for where her name comes from, so clearly actual Japanese speakers don't have any real serious theories for it.
>>279813549Oh, and I see the nip wiki suggests Diana's name might come from "diamond", which would fit nicely with Rystal's name. Never thought of that before, but it makes a lot of sense.
>>279813762In Pokéspe Pearl calls Diamond "Dia", so maybe.
>>279813809Yes, "dia" is an extremely common shortform for diamond in Japanese, in casual speak it's more common that pronouncing the full word.
Oha Suta in a couple minutes, let's see if they have some exclusive clips or info for us today.
>>279813920They tend to showcase moves, so we'll probably get something about the Kentauros.
>>279813920They're sure showcasing Pokemon merch today
>>279814110Their acting is so awful compared to the anime clips they showed.
I think those clips were just from the preview?
>>279814325They weren't, but they showed the same footage on Pokedoko last week:
>>279673906>>279673955>>279673979>>279674007
>>279814476Ah. I knew they looked familiar.
>>279814096>Liko is tallerNice
>>279814476Well that's a disappointment.
>>279742428 (OP)This brat needs some god damn correction.
>>279813762That checks out.
>>279819293These kigs sure are something.
>>279805614I think he'll sneak in a call
>>279797804It will stay that way anon.
So who are we expecting the voice call to be from? Friede?
>>279822348Pretty sure it will be Friede. Hamber or Sohdayo are fun possibilities too.
>>279822348Could be Diana too.

>Friday is Pokémon Anime Day! Despite saying she'll never set off on another journey, Orio has still been diligently doing maintenance on the Brave Asagi. What does she feel when she sees the others fight...? The Brave Asagi also receives a message from an unknown sender?!
>>279823469Aw yeah, here we go!
>>279823511Didn't realize how pissed off Cap looks here before now. Now I'm thinking it might be one of the bad guys.
>>279823553It's the brat!
>>279823553Now I'm thinking it might be
>>279823272
>>279823553Anne calling to reveal that she was a mole the entire time.
>>279823511>you can only barely make out Molly and Murdock in the background thereDamn, imagine if this scene hadn't been shown in the preview.
>>279819293Where is this from?
>>279823553I'm thinking so too, since their next destination is Orange Academy to tell some of the Paldea bigshots that Exceed is up to no good.
>>279823708It's old, that's the pre-timeskip Liko kig.
>>279823708I think that's Sunshine City, they've had some promo events there.
>>279823469Wonder if Tebrim is actually going to fight.
>>279823553Thinking either Hamber or Zir/Conia, they'd benefit from allying themselves with the Rising Volt Tacklers at this point, but Cap would logically still see them as enemies.
>>279823803Since it looks like Lucario is going to get called out eventually
>>279743592 my guess is that all the starters end up getting beaten and tagged out.
>>279823553Yeah, that's definitely not the face of him suddenly hearing Friede's voice again.
>>279823511If they're going to go around picking up Molly and Murdock again too, I feel like the battle is going to be over fairly early in the episode.
>>279824148They already got all the pre-battle setup done last week, so the episode will start just as the battle does. It should be fine.
>>279824078Molly is Sohdayo only.
>>279824191Yeah, the battle will probably last until the eyecatch, leaving enough time for other stuff afterwards.
>>279769430>And when Orio sees them battle with such a refusal to give up, she...>>279823469>What does she feel when she sees the others fight...?So do you think she'll join the fight as well?
>>279824270She'll reveal that she's been able to Mega evolve it the entire time.
>>279824270Nah, she's never been much of a battler.
>>279824270In the first Karna episode, she started out fighting, but then Friede made her do what she did best and save the day that way. So probably not.
>>279824290Weird how they gave her a Metagross of all things when she's such a weak battler desu
>>279824270I think she'll just watch and then see Friede's spirit still being alive in the kids, inspiring her to go with them.
>>279824349Probably wanted to disassociate Metagross from the idea that it's always a strong battler.
>>279823272I really hope it's this. We haven't seen anything from him the entire arc.
>>279824418Didn't he appear at the very start?
>>279824448He was in the post-timeskip scene at the very end of Rayquaza Rising, but he's never been in Mega Voltage.
>>279823904>dickbird will still be left out
>>279824476Oh yeah shit, that's what I was thinking of.
>>279824501Serves it right for being a dick.
>>279824501You'd think dickbird would be a good choice against opponents that are primarily land based.
>>279824501It's been demoted from secondary to tertiary mon.
>>279824501Dickbird hasn't even Terastallized yet, has it?
>>279824525It's not even much of a dick anymore.
The secondary mons, including dickbird, have been used considerably more since the timeskip came along. It'll get its time in the sun eventually.
>>279824554Can't shill Lucario that way.
>>279824594No, it's the ONLY Pokemon on the main group's teams that's yet to transform in any way.
>>279824627Honestly, despite that promo pic, I don't think Lucario is actually getting used today.
>>279824670They wouldn't put it on there if it wasn't being used, I think.
>>279824743Could just be to shill it a bit extra.
