i watched the original generation 1 anime when it started airing in europe 1999 i think and i might still have some of the original VHS tapes somewhere
havent really sampled any of the new series since then, are they as good or impossible for old man like me

Mizumizuni, i'm still waiting

>>279742948
The 2023 series is essentially a complete reboot, so you can easily jump on there. It's been very good so far.

Beyond that, DP and XY are fan favorites, while BW, SM and the 2019 series are mediocre to bad.

>>279743504
>>279743537
So 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?

>>279743630
It'll be less a recap and probably just propping up a bio with some snippets that allude to his involvement.

>>279743690
I 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.

>>279743630
They might do a Friede one.

>>279743592
There's been oddly little promotion of episode 101 for an episode that brings back so many old characters.

>>279742948
Jump 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.

>>279743765
Amethio would give it straight without the mystique.

>>279743984
There'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.

>>279744125
No, 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.

>>279744281
You missed her most recent episode, the one that mp4 is from.

>>279744164
I 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.

>>279744453
Might 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.

>>279744793
Shame. Liko and Dot are such enjoyable characters, and it's been great watching them grow.

>>279743457
So 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

>>279745013
There 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.

>>279743592
So the Rakurium is pure steroids?

>>279743537
>Croc in a human body has more Rizz than his trainer
Wow

>>279744211
Hamber is more likely. Getting more hands on board helps.

>>279745432
The 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

>>279743096
what the FUCK

>>279743043
Ah, I just noticed Riko dropped the Pokemon League-themed hairpin. No more Ash reference.

DotLiko status?

>>279745955
>Thinking a hairpin of a LEAGUE refers to another CHARACTER
Get bent retard.

>>279745987
Uruto 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
>>279746153
It's not even that, it's an L for Liko.

>>279743119
But 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?

>>279745987
Cuter and gayer than ever.

>>279743119
"Tinka"?

>>279746252
I don't care about the R or L name but forcing implications onto something like a bloody accessory is always retarded.

>>279746341
A lottery from my country.

>>279746285
It'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.

>>279746341
Tinka, 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.

>>279743204
Soon.

>>279746502
Weirdos.

What did Spinel do to deserve this?

>>279746369
Nigga 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.

>>279746502
Cute and gay.

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.

>>279746707
Yeah, 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.

>>279746796
It was more shock than flatout anger from the shift. While not innately positive, she probably gets off on the positive attention.

Kaedot

>>279747867
Cute

>>279747867
Oh dear lord she stinks.

>>279747867
Will Dot grow up to be as big as Kaede?

>>279748984
Not with her diet, thankfully.

>>279746707
Nah, she will go out in a blaze of glory.

>>279746201
Chances are Z-A will have it too.

>>279750367
So when the fuck are we going to see him again?

>>279742776
So we're not getting more illustrations like this one for the other chapters?

>>279752861
They are so in love.

sexo with sango

Liko is from Spain.

>>279751970
I think at least one more for the current one.

>>279751129
Soon

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.

>>279756697
Why are they like that?

>>279751970
I think if we were getting more than one, we'd have gotten them already by now.

Bocco belongs to her girl cave.

>>279757102
Because they're in love, anon.

Nonexistent as always.

New sticker set from Pokemon Pan. Could this be suggesting Seille, Suguri and future Paradoxes in the near future?

>>279767007
Huh. Well it's definitely interesting timing.

>>279767007
Would be cool.

>>279767069
The ZA game is coming in closer. Not exactly surprising.

>>279767357
Neither those characters nor the Paradoxes have anything to do with ZA though.

That's fucking crack in a kids show.

Uruto...

>>279768048
Yeah, that's what I thought.

>>279768077
Uruto needs how to handle the touch of a woman first before getting that far.

>>279768077
>didn't watch the show

>>279768065
Considering we did get proper character model sheets and shit for them, I'm thinking they might stick around for a while.

>>279742973
I'm gonna be honest, all his stuff is getting a bit samey
I want him to go back to CG sets with dialogue

Magokoro!

>>279768934
Uruto's PoV

>>279769038
No

Cute and gay.

>>279769095
It will be one day.

>>279769227
No.

>>279767918
Yeah, Rakurium is literally uppers for Pokemon. Quite daring theme to touch upon in a franchise known for playing it safe.

>>279769342
If a Pokemon actually gets evaporated from the plain of existence like Lucius and Gibeon did then I'd be impressed.

https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/1935246104054161695

>Liko, Roy, Dot and Uruto focus on teamwork as they take on the Kentauros ( Paldea Form), observing their behavior and trying to find a hint towards how to overcome them. And when Orio sees them battle with such a refusal to give up, she...

Nah.

>>279769461
Oh hey, Croc fights too.

>>279767839
>>279769430
That's the full text from the official summary, so future promo tweets for this episode should have all new info.

>>279769503
Yeah, we knew that from the preview. >>279767839
It's Masquernya, Achigator, Welkamo and Yamirami.

>>279769561
I meant that in the "I thought his Lucario would take over again" sense.
That's called Social cues.

>>279769666
This article seems to imply it will >>279743592

>>279769700
If Croc gets more attention then I am all for it.

>>279769503
About fucking time. Shillcario has been stealing a lot of spotlight from Croc.

>>279769889
Has 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.

>>279770127
Lucario feels like another instance of the writers just adding something to the series because the higher-ups insisted, but not bothering to do much with it because they have their own story and plans they'd rather focus on.

>>279742850
Those little shits are getting off on this, aren't they?

>LIKO (voiced by Minori Suzuki)

Nice

>>279771243
Where is that first quote from? Don't recognize it.

>>279771540
It's a Liko quote

>>279771540
It's from Liko's opening monologue in episode 1.

>>279768206
>watched the show and didn't understand shit
>>279768139
Give the boy time.

>>279768139
He'll learn both sinultaneously.

>>279772098
>>279772178

>>279772505

Why are Liko and Dot so gay?

>>279772871
Because they're in love.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YGcerK7klms&pp=0gcJCdQJAYcqIYzv

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.

>>279742801
So what's this going to be anyway, a music video?

>>279742428 (OP)
dull and uneventful

>>279771101
Sango 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.

>>279742948
Do it

>>279742948
Do it, you won't miss out on anything from the earlier entries.

>>279773557
Some kind of recap, at least. If it was a trailer, they'd air it on TV, not release it on Twitter.

>>279743263
And 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

>>279773706
She functionally is one.

>>279773837
I want to rape that laugh off her face so bad.

>>279773837
What is she laughing at?

>>279774875

>>279776162
She's a streamer, her job is literally selling out.

This week's Nicolive ratings.

Ouch.

>>279777080
imagine the backlash when the anime force Nemona to lose to Roy.

>>279777080
What do they have to do.

>>279777208
Less 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 ratings
Why do people on Nicolive have shit taste?

>>279777208
Bring back Satoshi somehow, even the one from the movie trilogy is fine.
Stop pretending to not know, it's pathetic.

>>279777401
PM23 is performing much better than PM19 on average.

>>279777394
>>279777443
Stop 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?

>>279777654
He got Sango'd.

>>279777654
Too much teasing from a girl in his hometown.

>>279777443
Not 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.

>>279777688
Almost 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.

>>279777738
Just don't reply.

>>279742870
>>279742894
I 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.

>>279777738
Duke it out with that fanboying moron on /vp/, keep the petty serieswar shjt out of here.

Sex with Sango

>>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.

>>279777757
Spinel can effectively off-load more minor duties onto them. Plus if things go south, he can let them take the fall.

>>279777654
A girl called him cringe and made his pre-trainer life hell.

>>279777654
What the other anons have suggested. Personally I lean into the >>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.

>>279777818
Hmmm.. Perhaps even with Strong Spheres they will be weaker than the others like Amethio subbordinates.

>>279777654
He grew up with deranged females.

Liko weirding him out by being would be a notable indicator of that

>>279777946
In 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 Satoshi
Not 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.

>>279777946
It'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.

Sango, Onyx, Spinel and Agate have always been referred to as the Explorers' executives, so the implication 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.

>>279778026
While 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.

>>279778023
>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.
Ten bucks he also has a proxy guy.

>>279778069
Yeah, I just don't see this as an example of that. The Explorers was always a reasonably big group.

>>279742673
why so many niggers in this show?

>>279778098
I 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.

>>279745589
It comes naturally.

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.

>>279778249
>I am still skeptical behind the design decisions of her.
It sells money and that's the main angle behind every decision.

>>279778249
Oh they knew god damn well what they were doing, and it paid off handsomely.

>>279778425
The anime fucked up hard by evolving Hogator.

>>279778589
Speak for yourself. Croc's song motif getting expanded upon as he evolves is a nice touch.

>>279778425
Gurenarmabros in the mud and it's super effective...

>>279778589
They fucked up harder not evolving Achigator during the timeskip.

>>279778822
>Evolving when we don't see it
No.

>>279778864
It's not different than catching a shiny offscreen.

>>279778923
No, 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.

>>279778923
Lucario is literally just there so little Hiroshi-kun can go "wook mommy, Wukawio! I want a Wukawio toy!", the writers clearly don't give a shit about it.

>>279777443
>PM23 is performing much better than PM19 on average.

Where ? Its TV rating is even worst than Pokemon 2019.

>>279778425
Dekanuchan when

>>279777208
Bringing back Ashnime characters.
Story does not mean a squat where the entire setting is uninteresting and there is no compelling characters for people to care about and follow. The reason Ashnime worked because people loved Ash and wanted to watch his journey to win the league.

>>279757972
>Bocco belongs to her girl cave.
Says who?

>>279779977
Nakanuchan was teased to evolve soon in the Corocoro article promoting Mega Voltage.

>>279780327
It might happen in the context of the steel bird. More notably, in the context of Amethio's.

>>279780326
What the fuck show are you even talking about?

>Is actually petrified of girls
What could cure this?

>>279780360
Did I stutter? Who said that Bocco belongs in her girl cave?

>>279780373
Getting annoyed by them to the point his contempt for them outgrows his fear for them

It'd be nice to check this show out but i don't wanna watch a series where all the characters are brown, depressing what TPC has done to this franchise.

>>279780373
The brat.

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

>>279780461
How is Sango, who in Uruto's eyes isn't even a girl, gonna fix that?

>>279780734
>not even a girl
Uruto seems to ignore the fact that girls are girls as long as he's reasonably pissed off at them, he didn't freak out about Rubella last week either.

>>279780892
So he should develop an utter amount of rage at them as a whole?

>>279780983
The brat will be able to help him with that.

Lots of swimsuit Likos recently.

>>279782262
Probably because of >>279743043

>>279782262
Dot is such a lucky girl.

How much sex are they going to have when Orio discovers Friede is still alive?

>>279784205
Neither will be able to walk for a week afterwards.

>>279742870
>stop liking evil women
its unfeasible

Liko is gay AND european.

>>279742948
Most of us haven't missed a single episode. That should say something.

>>279742428 (OP)
Is she going to be in this weeks ep

>>279786924
Hasn't been revealed for it yet, but there's always a chance.

>>279787596
I want to believe.

>>279745230
That one is just Fighting/Grass

Liko Dot passionate makeout scene

>>279777654
Raised in a temple or something by an all male order of monks. Didn't interact with any women until he left.

>>279778923
>>279779219
I'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.

>>279766353
>>279761694

>>279789942
Liko is so lucky.

>>279780373
Dot can do it

>>279789915
Most likely the backstory involves something from Z-A that hasn't been revealed yet.

Dot is a massive homosexual for Liko.

Liko is a massive pokesexual for her cat.

>Q: Who does Dot call out to during the battle after doing some deep thinking?
>A: Liko
>B: Uruto

>>279793566
Liko. Definitely Liko.

>>279789942
Is there a life-sized plush of that yet?

>>279794365
Thinking 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.

>>279794537
I think you meant to answer >>279793566

>>279795038
Are you saying you don't want a life-sized Uruto plush?

But yes.

>>279793566
Uruto makes the most sense to show how they work together as battler.

>>279768139
He'll do both things simultaneously.

>>279768206

Good plan, Dot.

>>279804117
People like the girls, not the show. SM threads are always just fanart dumps with the occasional post pointing out that it's a shame the show was so bad when the girls are so good.

>>279804484
Sex with the Aloli trio.

>>279743031
>It's been very good so far.
Nice lie,
Pokemon Horizon has been extremely boring with uninteresting premise $ boring characters It does not even feel like an actual pokemon anime, more like a generic adventure anime.

>>279795791
Maybe

>>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?

>>279798289
That one is my favourite mainly for all the plays that were pulled.

>>279778096
Cute

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.

>>279805454
He'll be back, right?

>>279805614
Maybe for another trip into myths and the sorts.

>>279805614
He'll be back next cour to replace Friede as the leader.

>>279805614
Despite his being part of the RVTs, he's basically a character of the day. Expect maybe another minor appearance similar to Karna.

>>279805614
Would be cool if the voice message came from him.

Is Sango just Satania?

>>279798469
Don't diss my duck like that

>>279778425
>no ducks anywhere
Sasuga nips.

>>279807831
Sango is in a league of her own.

What kind of name is Liko, anyways?

>>279811714
From liko (Hawaiian for "leaf bud" and "sparkling")

>>279811714
It's a fairly common Japanese name, romanized in a somewhat unusual but not unheard of way.

>>279812525
This is correct.

>>279812321
This is just dumb esls focusing way too hard on the specific romanization and desperately trying to find SOME kind of rationale for it.

>>279812729
I mean, she has a grass cat (leaf bud) and uses Terastal (sparkling).

>>279812890
Yes, 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.

>>279813145
I 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).

>>279813193
But 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
>>279813385
Yeah, 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.

>>279813549
Oh, 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.

>>279813762
In Pokéspe Pearl calls Diamond "Dia", so maybe.

>>279813809
Yes, "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.

>>279813920
They tend to showcase moves, so we'll probably get something about the Kentauros.

>>279813920
They're sure showcasing Pokemon merch today

This cosplay is amazing.

>>279814110
Their acting is so awful compared to the anime clips they showed.

That Kokona girl a cute.

>>279814205

I think those clips were just from the preview?

>>279814325

>>279797804
It will stay that way anon.

So who are we expecting the voice call to be from? Friede?

>>279822348
Pretty sure it will be Friede. Hamber or Sohdayo are fun possibilities too.

>>279822348
Amethio.

>>279822348

Aw yeah, here we go!

>>279823511

Damn, imagine if this scene hadn't been shown in the preview.

>>279819293
Where is this from?

>>279823553
I'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.

>>279823708
It's old, that's the pre-timeskip Liko kig.

>>279823757
Oh yeah duh.

>>279823708
I think that's Sunshine City, they've had some promo events there.

>>279823469
Wonder if Tebrim is actually going to fight.

>>279823553
Thinking 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.

>>279823836
Cute doot

>>279823803
Since 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.

>>279823553
Yeah, that's definitely not the face of him suddenly hearing Friede's voice again.

Sex with Orio

>>279823998
Friede...

>>279823998
Roy...

>>279823998
Molly...

>>279823998
Karna...

>>279823511
If 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.

>>279824148
They already got all the pre-battle setup done last week, so the episode will start just as the battle does. It should be fine.

>>279824078
Molly is Sohdayo only.

>>279824191
Yeah, 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?

>>279824270
She'll reveal that she's been able to Mega evolve it the entire time.

>>279824270
Nah, she's never been much of a battler.

>>279824270
In 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.

>>279824290
Weird how they gave her a Metagross of all things when she's such a weak battler desu

>>279824270
I think she'll just watch and then see Friede's spirit still being alive in the kids, inspiring her to go with them.

>>279824349
Probably wanted to disassociate Metagross from the idea that it's always a strong battler.

>>279823272
I really hope it's this. We haven't seen anything from him the entire arc.

>>279824418
Didn't he appear at the very start?

>>279824448
He was in the post-timeskip scene at the very end of Rayquaza Rising, but he's never been in Mega Voltage.

>dickbird will still be left out

>>279824476
Oh yeah shit, that's what I was thinking of.

>>279824501
Serves it right for being a dick.

>>279824501
You'd think dickbird would be a good choice against opponents that are primarily land based.

>>279824501
It's been demoted from secondary to tertiary mon.

>>279824501
Dickbird hasn't even Terastallized yet, has it?

>>279824525
It'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.

>>279824554
Can't shill Lucario that way.

>>279824594
No, it's the ONLY Pokemon on the main group's teams that's yet to transform in any way.

>>279824627
Honestly, despite that promo pic, I don't think Lucario is actually getting used today.

>>279824670
They wouldn't put it on there if it wasn't being used, I think.

>>279824743
Could just be to shill it a bit extra.
