Next episode of the Likonime airs on the July 18th.
Gonna keep the TQs simple during the break:
>What are some elements from the official Pokémon Mangas you wouldn't mind getting adapted into the anime?
>>57977680Liko and Roy working with the Pokemon for more than one day when they're not forced into it by accident. It would display a sense of trust and capability to handle the Pokemon of the other.
>>57977690 (me)
Meant Liko and Roy working with the Pokemon OF THE OTHER since I can't delete my post for some reason.
Besides that, Dickbird with Liko's underhanded moves would be nice.
>Farewell my friends
>My genocidal lord needs my assistance
>>57977670 (OP)Whats the source on this image?
>>57977690>>57977692I would like that. Bonus points for picking up traits.
>>57977693They all look so happy with this.
>>57977699https://x.com/hurousya_95/status/1941428103076773893
>>57977680The side content. Sandwich and Curry is nice and all but some more wouldn't hurt.
>>57977723What in particular would you like to see first?
>>57977680>What are some elements from the official Pokémon Mangas you wouldn't mind getting adapted into the anime?Probably just a bit more from the world that is usually sidelined for solely the Pokemon. Like the different roles, minigames that weren't utilized later on into the 3ds era beyond one-offs.
>>57977702Well of course they are, the turtle isn't gonna settle down there.
They can't keep my boy away forever.
>>57977670 (OP)So where is the "my love for gurumin" line coming from?
>>57977761Zir. That guy will get his time to shine.
>>57977759They can do it and they will just for you.

>>57977754That latter part bugged me all those years ago as well.
>>57977777Fuck, the digits don't lie.
>>57977670 (OP)A cat and her trainer shouldn't be this close!
>>57975577>Salamence or Gyarados so long she get's a pure DPS mon added to her party.I can think of a few fossile Pokémon that fit the description.
You think any of these dots mean anything. Obviously not all 30-ish are relevant, but you think there's any hints towards future episodes?
I checked it compared to the paldean map, and the only dots I noticed are near a known location are the ones on/near katy/larry/ryme/grusha's gyms, and a dot on every team star base. There doesn't appear to be one near any shrine nor titan pokemon though.
I can't believe I have to wait two weeks to see how Grusha going to Iono's event will play out.
>>57977805That it could take them through the team star bases would be a nice overlap for them to flex Penny's friends.
>>57977805Gonna check it with the Pokemon that are obtainable through the snacks.
>>57977805I would say the ones with the gyms are safe bets, the ones with TS would be a bonus.
>>57977810It will end with him denying it was fun.
>>57977810>Buy my sub 5 modelIs what Iono will say.
>>57977827This. I have two on my list that would be decent additions to their parties.
>>57977832Typical tsundere...but it fits him after all.
>>57977836Except he already did that...no that he will ever admit it. I can imagine Grusha talking shit about Iono being a camwhore (which she is) while at the same time his hand is clicking the super chat button.
>>57977805I think a few spots are like a Boxart-don jump away from the Snackmon locations.
map
md5: e47a12e3e2e895f9bd2ad4b6219ad1a7
🔍
>>57977805And just for reference I made this quick and lazy map. Purple is the titans, yellow gym locations, and red team star base locations.
>>57977785What is she looking at?
>>57977891Looks to me like they could roughly cover most of the Rakurium spots by going clockwise around the region.
Unless there will be a instance or two where they split up to cover multiple locations, but that's more likely to happen later in.
>>57977805>>57977891I swear that I saw some sidequests in the left part of the map.
>>57977680What
>>57977690 has suggested, I liked the execution of it manga and Liko and Roy could grow more on a flexible level
>>57977680A lot of the material was more between the trainers but I think a few could slip into the Likonime.
>>57977836Grusha wouldn't pay for videos but he will check in once in a while.
>>57977723>Sandwich and Curry is nice and all butBut nothing. They did the right thing by focusing on the foodslop.
>>57977706My heroes... and Dot.
>>57977795Cranidos and its evolution would be the raw damage bomb.
>>57977692>Dickbird with Liko's underhanded moves would be nice.>Starts gunning for the lower parts of the Pokemon
>>57977693Why did they decided to go along with that?
Liko should still get an Archeops or a Golurk.
>>57977670 (OP)>Stay Ablaze, My Love for Gurumin!It will become a shouting match between Liko and Zir.
>>57975519>Gyarados is a good choice for the Berserker pick but on the other side, it's having the Kanto allegory hovering over the head.Make Barbaracle the pick
Where is Amethio atm anyway?
>>57977989On the grindset for the Zygs.
>>57978002I doubt he will collect them in a timely fashion.
Out of all the design decisions, why is Meowscarada a possessive freak?
>>57977810He will obviously deny going first by swapping out tickets with a random.
>>57978116If it makes them money it gets the thumb-up.
>>57978124Ok, I get that. But cmon, they could have some modesty.
>>57978077That's why Zir and Conia were placed on the job.
When is Friede gonna pop in and then fade out Lucius-style?
>Uruto sees Carmine
>Absolutely no response from him
Would that be good for him or just a blow to her?
>>57978249They forgot to ask Spinel
>>57978268I want Amethio rn, bros.
>>57978247It's a nice pick but the fairy overlap in the Mega form is touching the type tism.
This character had a Cloyster in a last series and will be playing a vital role in PM26. An Umbreon trainer will also be present
>>57978266Spinel wouldn't dare to intervene.
>>57977680>What are some elements from the official Pokémon Mangas you wouldn't mind getting adapted into the anime?Those cheeks.
Is Croc gonna show the duck who is boss? Or will only put Meowscarada into her place?
Gonna need the "Rhydon is cool" image.
>>57978306The weedcat is gonna enforce Abe's will.
>Ash and Goh were boyfriends (gay)
>Liko and Meowcarada are girlfriends (gay AND zoophilia)
>>57978304He's gonna do both.
>>57978337God I love the dog so much.
Zir won't get the ticket back.
>>57978301He would because he thinks it's funny.
>>57978337>do not reupload my artDo artists hate free advertising?
>do not use my art for AI training>implying jeets ask permission
>>57978475Half of the online feeds go without a source or crediting them. It's understandable but they could place the disclaimer in the bottom or the sorts.
>>57977670 (OP)> Lets travel the world to collect more information on Rakulium.Are they plan to waste one & a half year on this?
>>57978249Liko should definitely consent with her girlfriend before she tries to date Dot.
>>57978367>God I love the dog so much.Liko...
>>57978304Croc is gonna top of the food chain.
Dot might put up a good fight though.
>>57977891That's a fair amount of content. They should a few Hotspots for the Gimmighoul with it.
>>57978564I would assume that Uruto and Roy are gonna split up collecting the coins for it.
>>57978576He should get a catmon like that.
>>57977950Roy doesn't even give her the time of the day.
>>57978569Or evolve it into a catfight.
>>57978475They don't but rather the way reposts are done is what blows.
>>57978562He's Paldea's hero
>>57978759Is he gonna carry the turtle after it's evolution or just wait until it's in its bigger form?
>>57978392Or he'll get it only to be torn apart in his hand.
>>57978282What's her problem?
>>57978310>>57978333How did this image even came into existence?
> Defeating a guy with a Dragonite with 10 moves is not enough to be Champion tier but offscreen training is enough to be champion tier.
Is Pokemon Horizon mocking character development?
>>57978872A Drawfag made it.
>>57978759They're gonna conquer everything before them.
>>57978781Would be cool to see him picking up the work of his gramps in every sense of the word.
Best Pokémon girl coming through
It's tough.. I hate Ashfags so much but the anime hasn't churned out a good episode in 10 months, and the Horizons sisters are in full on denial over it... hmm.. how do I dunk on Horizons without emboldening Ashfags and making them think their shitty protagonist should come back?
>>57979031(me)
Actually, I'll just stick to hating on Ash. Horizons is doing a perfectly good job of killing itself with or without public conversation (so few people care to even discuss it)
>>57978829>Is he gonna carry the turtle after it's evolution or just wait until it's in its bigger form?Why would he carry that thing around?
>>57974595Golurk would the DPS Berserker and also a flying mon. I like it.
>>57979061I don't think the current anime staff could handle using Golurk in battles.
>>57977690>>57977692Do you mean the Red and Blue chapter where they were stuck with the team of the other?
Would be interested in seeing that covered.
>>57979061It would be a fat fucker but it's covering so much bases of Liko's character and from a story point of view.
>>57979061I would be down for a Archeops. He is cool but the signature ability would be a interesting gimmick to explore in more ways than just the literal sense.
>>57979061It would be a fat fucker but it's covering so many bases of Liko's character and also from a story point of view, e.g the ancient aspect. Being something really old and all that.
>>57978229It would cripple Carmine's self-esteem just a tiny bit.
>>57978116The design is kinda alluring to that.
But they're going for the cat angle of the design: Demanding and needy.
>>57979184What the fuck went through their minds when they gave Liko the deranged cat? She's 11!
I have been truly disappointed at current anipoke fandom for two weeks. HZ series forced the strongest champion of Paldea to lose to a nobody with zero accomplishment only because he trained offscreen and not a single one of you called out HZ series for that! When Diantha got curbstompped by Leon, entire internet got mad even though Leon was promoted as the strongest champion at that time but now all of you defending champions of Paldea being a joke to shill bunch of boring OC that nobody cares about. Even Ashfags called out Master Tournament for its disappointedly bad writing even though Ash won but none of you have the gut to call out HZ series for its bad writing and poor treatment toward game characters simply because Ash is not in the show.
Kieran trained offscreen and became BB League Champion but he got destroyed by Nemona because Game-freak knew she has to be stronger as the actual champion of Paldea. HZ series has no respect for champions and only interested in shilling boring OC as the most important thing in the Pokemon world.
>>57979348>next to none fanart>Liko get more shipping art with that "evil" dudeNope. Note that he is not hated but people just don't give a shit about him.
>>57979451He has more art than Amethio and more the amount of art as Dot on Gelbooru.
>>57978569They might split it up. Or it becomes a small competition between the two.
>>57977938TL?
>>57977943That's a low blow even for Dickbird
>>57978576Amethio should obtain that unovan beauty.
>Salamence or Gyarados so long she get's a pure DPS mon added to her party.
Or maybe a Dragalge.
>>57979056>Why would he carry that thing around?Because they are friends?
>>57978475It's less that and more so their annoyance over auto generated content.
>>57979069Yeah that one.
The early days of that manga were interesting to dive into.
>>57978337>Do not reupload my art >Does it anyway How could you? I am shaking and crying rn.
>>57978116>why is Meowscarada a possessive freak?Because it's based?
It's bad that I am only looking forward for Iono and Grusha interacting in the anime and I don't care about the OCs' plot?
I think what a lot of HZ fanboys are struggling to reckon with (partly in not wanting to partially agree with our homeless friend) is that it genuinely does suck that Roy defeated Nemona... using a Lucario we know nothing about. If it was Crocalor or Cap, it'd feel a bit more personal to our time with the series.
>Roy is very strong and cool now
>and he beats Nemona with a Lucario that for all intents and purposes, appeared out of thin air
Don't be disingenuous, if the Ashnime pulled a stunt like this you'd rightfully give it all the shit it deserves. It's more toy advertisement than storytelling.
>>57979668Why are you watching the anime at all then?
>>57979690There are people who unironically think that it makes sense that Ash's Lucario beat Cynthia's Garchomp just because Ash was a champion at the time.
>>57979697Which is almost as stupid as Roy's Mystery Gift Lvl 100 Shiny Mega Lucario, dude. It's not about the Ashnime anymore, Horizons is making stupid choices on its own terms.
>>57979691I am not, I only came here right now because the IonoXGrusha artists I follow in twitter three days ago started to lost their shit and posted the next episode preview, showing Grusha going to Iono's event with a single digit coupon (which means the little shit actually max speed into the online sale) and now i wanna see what will happen. On the note, I would actually see this anime if Sango was the main character but she is not.
>>57979697Ash actually hatched, caught, raised , trained, evolved and Mega evolved his Lucario onscreen to defeat Cynthia's GIMMICKLESS Garchamp who was already injured from Sirfetch'd attack with a last minute reversal.
>>57979697Roy's Lucario is worse than Ash's in terms of plot convenience and poor writing. Ash's wasn't great but Roy's is a new low.
>>57979729>>57979707Ash's whole Journey's team was brand new and he used them to defeat several champions including the world's strongest one. Roy beat one of Nemona's Pokemon with Lucario. Genuinely I will never understand why people cry about this shit.
Why the fuck are you people still talking of Ass Ketchup? he is gone, it's over, you are no better than Smash Bros Melee's fans.
>>57979738Independent of pointless comparisons to the previous protagonist who will never return from the dumpster, Roy defeating Nemona with a Pokémon we do not fucking know is very boring and stupid. It's telling that you have to deflect to
>b-but Ass Ketchup in J-Journeys!!It was awful, we know. Let's move on to the series you're pretending isn't.
>>57979748Least impressive falseflag.
But kinda fucking sad how everytime the old show gets brought up, it has to be dogpiled and derailed by the F aggot or is brought up in context of the homeless. F ag so much he actually crippled discussion of it on this site, unironically increasing the discussion of the current anime even if its by a small margin because he turned off so many to talk about it.
>>57979761 (me)
*because he turned off so many to talk about the old one.
>>57979761Why are you writing "Faggot" like that? it's not a censored word like "cuck" in all caps.
>>57979770Because that hobo is trying to get anons banned for using any of his aliases, which is his own fucking fault by making the internet his life.
>>57979757You were the one who brought up the Ashime first. And no its not awful, he beat her one Pokemon, it doesn't matter. The battle was supposed to be Mega Evolution vs Terastlization and they decided that Mega Evolution would win, boo fucking hoo. It was a gimmick battle which would have had the same narrative significance had Nemona won. And you can't actually name a tangible problem with it, just that it was "boring and stupid."
>>57979061Kinda funny how a majority of the galarian Pokemon complement Liko in both Lore and their type composition.
>>57977680>What are some elements from the official Pokémon Mangas you wouldn't mind getting adapted into the anime?I haven't come around to reading the mangas yet but I know there are a few deviations in the professionalism beyond the average gym/contest material by expanding on it and I have already seen that in the form of the movie guy who is friends with Ludlow and the guy Diana befriended in the past.
>>57977690Croc under Liko's command is something I would like to see now.
>>57977761Obviously Zir considering it's lowkey his episode.
>>57977693He swore fealty to the destroyer of worlds...
>>57977777How rude, especially with those sevens to rub it in.
>>57979782Roy and Nemona's rivalry was set up years ago, and he finally defeats her using not one of the Pokémon the audience is familiar with, but with a TPC mandated Shillcario. There's no sense of accomplishment, despite the fact that defeating Nemona was something Roy once set as a future goal. Now it's just another shitty Lucario toy commercial with shit animation and no significance. I know you're aware of how unsatisfying and poorly written it is, but you can't cope with the cognitive dissonance of Horizons having poor execution, since if it's bad, that means your 'enemies' win, right? So go on, keep pretending.
>>57979077I can see why a few have brought up Golurk so often as a pick for Liko.
>>57977805I can spot a few locations that might get interesting because of the DLC.
>>57977810I would say it's just go on with Grusha hiding his number. But Iono will obviously pull some strings to figure it out anyway.
>>57978569That's one way to go over it. They might split up to cover more ground regarding the Rakurium, killing two pidgeys with one stone.
>>57978475Not really but the amount of those labels slapped into their work has increased dramatically one year and a few months ago. Idk what has happened over there that caused it to happen en masse but I would assume they have their own AI model up and running since then, which pulls it without crediting them (Kinda like the problem with AI as a whole whenever it fucks up)
>>57977680>What are some elements from the official Pokémon Mangas you wouldn't mind getting adapted into the anime?The revision of the sidegames.
>>57979076>He is cool but the signature ability would be a interesting gimmick to explore in more ways than just the literal sense.Defeatist is a tricky gimmick to go through. I mean the portrayal of a Pokemon whose ability is to throw fights when things go south is always gonna have hit some walls.
>>57977692For me it would be Croc pulling some dumb shit to get out of it.
>>57978501>It's understandable but they could place the disclaimer in the bottom or the sorts.That's an easy invitation to get it cropped out
>>57977937>CranidosI legit forgot that this one existed. But then again, it is the definition of a Glass cannon.
>>57978333Gonna go to the drawthreads depending on the outcome of next week's episode to see if this gets an upgrade.
>>57977759Anne's non canon BF will probably stay off the grid to then pop in and lurk once the Zygarde is collected by atleast 30%
>>57979852>and running since then, which pulls it without crediting them (Kinda like the problem with AI as a whole whenever it fucks up)This is very likely the biggest reason. It's bad enough that the AI is making up shit without correctly filing the material but then sometimes it strings shit together without any transparency.
>>57978116Money. The answer is money.
>>57979807Does Roy's Lucario actually have any fans? Is anyone specifically happy about it or enjoying its presence? Even for devout fans of the show I think the Lucario is a pretty massive concession
>>57977891The ones with overlapping ranges could have a higher chance of occuring. Easy transition inbetween the events and the encounters.
>>57979893>Anne's non canon BF will probably stay off the grid to then pop in and lurk once the Zygarde is collected by atleast 30%Make it 40% with him having the 10%
>>57979080>Reuploads itYou madman
>>57978558He's gonna weaponize the heroes, right?
>>57978564>>57978569Uruto might end up winginig it since Roy will probably prioritize the Rakurium. Which is fine by me because Uruto's fixation with Fug by himself is kinda neat to place it as a parallel to the roaming form of Gimmighoul where it collects the coins itself rather than relying on the others to do it for them
>>57977891Gonna take a wild guess and say they'll go around counterclock wise.
>>57979807>Roy and Nemona's rivalry was set up years ago, and he finally defeats herWith the stipulation that its a first to knock out, not even a proper double battle, literally just first to lose a Pokemon wins.
>I know you're aware of how unsatisfying and poorly written it is, No, you're just acting like this was their big final battle or something. Its there second ever battle and the main focus wasn't even specifically on it being Roy vs Nemona, it was Mega Evolution vs Terastalization. The battle has next to no narrative weight.
That's the issue with fags like you who complain about this battle, you project a ton of narrative significance on it in order to justify throwing a fit.
>>57979852Did AI actually improved? Like at all? After two years you can still spot the same uncanny fingers and hands of the generated images, which is countered by apologists by prompting images that hides them which in return fucks up the proportion of either depth or lengths of the arms.
>>57979895>It's bad enough that the AI is making up shit without correctly filing the material but then sometimes it strings shit together without any transparency.I am half convinced that they don't even have any filter as to WHERE they're pulling their nonsense from.
>>57979923>Which is fine by me because Uruto's fixation with Fug by himself is kinda neat to place it as a parallel to the roaming form of Gimmighoul where it collects the coins itself rather than relying on the others to do it for themDecent idea.
Not sure where that would leave the chest form but I would assume it will grow a pair of balls to assume the role of a roaming one.
>>57979943Your ESL is showing. You can ignore all the surrounding context you want, but Roy winning a battle against Nemona, which was a goal since the first arc, using a Pokémon with 0 development or screentime is fucking cheap and lame. The audience deserves better, as does Roy.
>>57979738Ash was at that time was a champion level trainer with 23 years character development and numerous achievements who caught and raised those pokémon onscreen while Roy is literal nobody who became champion level by training offscreen. Both aren't the same.
>>57979893Amethio probably isn't collecting the cells. He will very likely dive into the Spinel hole.
>>57977779In all fairness they became more so the bare minimum of a test concept than a fully figured out idea.
>>57979789Well those were ok but I would assume it will show of those things.
>>57979782>>57979943>he beat her one PokemonHe beat the champion's ace, its like Cynthia's Garchamp losing to Iris's Dragonite on BW series or Alder losing to Trip on Junior Cup which would have caused outrage . Even Steve's Metagross tanked Blast Burn from Alain's Charizard like it was nothing.
A champion's level meant to be way way higher than ordinary trainers like Roy. This series haven't anything to showcase Nemona's strength as a champion except for have her job an undeveloped protagonist with no accomplishments because nobody cares about him.
If you can't understand this simple fact than you aren't a pokémon fan but that Digimon fan that keep spamming Digimon thread on /vp/.
>Rotom is so much mass bred that it's a modern day staple
>No new forms since the phone
You would think with how much they're generalizing that electric fucker that it would get new playable forms but it doesn't. Not even a Electric/Steel variation which would be the easiest considering it's possessing multiple metallic objects.
>>57980005>as does RoyRoy never deserved to win against a champion in any circumstances.

Specially when a Tera Fighting Pawmot would not only resisted Fighting type move but also received more boost than Lucario's adaptability. It also doesn't help that Lucario was a glass canon with weakness to fighting type moves.

You would think with how much they're generalizing that electric fucker that it would get new playable forms but it doesn't. Not even a Electric/Steel variation which would be the easiest considering it's possessing multiple metallic objects. Like a Anvil or something.
>>57977779In all fairness they became more so the bare minimum of a test concept than a fully figured out idea.
This.
Like God damn it, run the AI into the ground but at least have the audacity to place credit where it's due.
>>57979860>mean the portrayal of a Pokemon whose ability is to throw fights when things go south is always gonna have hit some walls.Just make it a very evasive Pokemon. It won't kick in if it won't get hit.
>>57977959>Make Barbaracle the pickLiko's hattrem would probably feel violated from the multiple eyes of that mutilated freak.
>>57980077I feel incredibly stupid for not thinking of it.
>>57978194When he feels like remembering it.
>>57978829Demand Liko to catch a new steed, maby a Rapidash.
>>57980094Or a Mudscale. Gotta have the tank somewhere
>>57980041>Power level faggotryIt always comes down to this.
>>57980142Just ignore Fagmon.
>>57977805>There doesn't appear to be one near any shrine nor titan pokemon though.I would assume that that they might stumble across some of the seals but will notify Raifort of it.
>>57980064This has been bothering me a lot. They want to cram Rotom in everywhere? Fine, go ahead. But at least throw a bone in the form of a new variation.
>>57980185Dot getting a Rotom would be on par with Liko and her Charcadet, it fits.
But would it be redundant because they have Rotomphones? Or not because it is getting used in the combat sense?
>>57979923That would be a decent trade off.

>>57980064That's a good point. Eevee has a leaked explanation but Rotom is another thing.
>>57981098Rotom is already locked into the Phone role.
>>57981128That's stupid. Why are they pushing that in the games?
>>57979807>he finally defeats her using not one of the Pokémon the audience is familiar with, but with a TPC mandated Shillcariohe's literally Ash
>>57981178>Why are they pushing that in the games?It's easy to handwave a lot of progression through "A sentient being possesses the device".
>>57980142> No , you can't complain about HZ series treating champions like a joke. You have to take it face value that Roy became champion tier by training offscreen because the plots swys so.It always comes down to this.
>>57980077>Just make it a very evasive Pokemon. It won't kick in if it won't get hit.Or an acrobatic.
Forget everything about powerscaling the Ashnime taught us. Horizons is doing it's own thing.
>>57981271You mean shamelessly favouring their OC.
>>57977670 (OP)Sir. Sir. What are you doing sir. That is a Human and Pokemon!
Do you go to a petshop and think "I want to marry a cat?"
>>57981214I find it more bizarre than anything else honestly how they have a decent thing going on with Rotom back in its debut gen and then they went "Glue him to the motherboard of a phone and call it a day"
>>57979784I think you mixed up the regions but yeah, Unovan Pokemon are fitting Liko like a glove big time.
>>57981304That would require getting more creative with the variations, which might snowball into them getting more variations than the Eeveelutions. And outshining Kanto in a gimmick or presentation is a big no-go.
>>57980071AI crediting sources might backfire because it already struggles with correctly identifying objects and the sorts. Getting the sources wrong multiple times can become pretty embarassing in hindsight.
>>57981295It's love, anon. Nothing serious.
>>57981355I swear, those two are just sick weirdos.
>>57981357They are in love.
>>57980554Why is Dot attracting weirdos?
>>57981495The cat needs to stop being jealous.
>>57981355Why are they like this?

>>57981311>Getting the sources wrong multiple times can become pretty embarassing in hindsight.That's why they're slapping those labels on top of their art to begin with.
>>57977680That one scene where all the Unova Gym leaders are being crucified.
>>57981271Do you know why Protagonist Rotation fails most of the time? Because the original anime sets the standard that the future series must follow .This is why Gundam able to pull off Protagonist rotation because Amuro was a Gary Stu piloting a special snowflakes mobile suit & capable of using space magic. That also why nobody complain about Suletta being a cheater using special snowflake mobile suit that is controlled by the spirit of her older sister.
However Original Pokemon anime started with an underdog protagonist who consistently need to learn & grow to earn anything which is why that's the standard of Pokemon anime. This is also why Boruto failed but some reason some writers still thinks they can make new protagonist popular by making him stronger & more special than the original protagonist.
Beyblade & YGO protagonist cheats all the time but nobody says anything but whenever Ash does something similar to them then everybody calls him a cheater. Why? Because Ash himself is still bound by the same standard that was established by the original series and so does every protagonist that comes after him.
>>57981599It's called being in love.

>>57981816I think it was less meant as a allegory and more so as "They can't resist the urge to include more Kanto Pokemon beyond Charizard and Pikachu"
>>57980708Why is the cat being like that?
>>57981822>Banette for DotThat's a wild pick but the design is good.
Lacey deserves to get beaten up by Crispin.
>>57981841Waiting for the day the Hat evolves.
Any capture suggestions for Uruto?
>>57981841That's sick, man.
>>57981854I would say an Aurorus would be nice. Gems attached to the side (Sableye might push its luck) and a Kalosmon to boot.
>>57981821Oh i get it now. Thanks for the clarification.
>>57981854Golisopod. All day every day.
>>57981705>Original Pokemon anime started with an underdog protagonist who consistently need to learn & grow to earn anything which is why that's the standard of Pokemon anime.Which became absolute bullshit when they started to reset Ass Ketchup back to zero over and over. People got sick of him learning AGAIN the same shit over and over.
>>57977670 (OP)Gonna be honest I'm not really sure if "Drugs are bad mmkay" and "We gotta expose the coverup!" for X episodes until next gen is gonna work. Especially when they have to chuck constant CoTD and Pokemon in when we already got the point after like 10 or so episodes- Drugs are bad mmkay.
But smoking and alcohol is fine though.
>>57982269That's only happened on Best Wishes. XY/SM Ash retained their experience, the small mistakes he made was part of his character like Goku constantly letting his guard down .
>>57981835What's up with that?
