New mini?-arc for the Likonime got announced, placed during the one-year timeskip from Roy's point of view finally covering the basis that were asked since the start of Mega Voltage:
>How Roy and Uruto met
>How they got their Mega rings
>How Roy caught the Lucario
Featuring an Emma appearance, most likely taking place before the events of ZA.

With that in mind:

Personally expecting one episode of Emma giving Roy the make-over with his current clothings. Different outfits are a selling point for Kalos games so that is gonna be one. The other is Uruto bumbling across the streets like the street rat he is.
>Are you counting on other XY game characters which never made an apperance before to show up in that timeframe?
Filling up the ranks would be nice but it might be limited to ZA characters, which is fine by me
>Rate Emma's design
She looks better by default with her longer hair. But her ZA attire has the grown drip. Maybe a 3 out of 5.

So is this Emma the middle ground between her story beats from her AFTER the 3ds Postgame and BEFORE ZA has started?

Would be surprising if it actually bridges into the events as a parallel to the rise of Spinel.

That could be the angle they are going for. Not sure how much time has passed in the gameverse for ZA to translate it into the anime though. 5 or 10 years which in other medias could be scaled down to 2 or 3?

No, I'm not an autistic lore/continuity fag so don't get the wrong idea. But there's definitely a gap between SwSh, SV, and ZA through the rotom phone. The rotom phones' in these games kept increasing in cameras with each release. The ZA rotom phone has three cameras which implies that it takes place after SV.

They might bring up their storytime in the same manner as Friede's after the Diana/Charcadet episode.

Uruto could get a notable focus because he's interested in the same fug as Roy is, which is from the storybook. If Roy told him about it or if he heard it off-handedly could be a point to focus on. That and how he stayed the hothead while Roy seemingly mellowed out during the one year.

There was a time skip of one year, characters are older now, Roy has a yellow Lucario and a rival-buddy with a Sableye and Dragonite (inherited from his father). So far we only knew they trained together and mastered megaevolution in the Kalos region but nothing else, we didn't even know how Roy got his Lucario.
This is a special of three episodes covering that one year gap.

Dot failed to connect to audiences other than yurifags so she was relegated to a secondary character after the timeskip. Liko failed to be a dynamic main character so her relevance was reduced mostly as a love interest and eyecandy for pedos. The showrunners anticipated this so they made Roy a quasi-Ash and have Uruto as the spunky sidekick instead.

I hope this helps.

Personally in the support of an Drampa if he makes a joke about the similarity to Ludlow.

Otherwise a Carbink. I know not a mega candidate (Supposedly) but it has some potential with Sableye. Also it feels like it had a mega evolution in the line-up but got scrapped.

That would be interesting to see, a battle between the two rivals for Rayquaza’s approval. But two things need to happen before that. First is that Roy and Uruto need a full team of six. Second, depending on whether or not the next season after mega voltage is the last an altercation like this would need to take place at the right time. Because right now it’s way too early for something like that to happen.

Because Korrina's family are the ones keeping the tradition of megaevolution and teaching it to new generations, retard. By virtue of being probably a relative of Korrina we get to know he's gonna be involved in Roy and Ult's learning of megaevolution, probably their master.

What would you do if Grandma suggests Liko lets Amethio on board the ship?

It seems Pokemon anime viewership declined from the Kalos series, especially during the XY&Z series, which aimed to be a mature "real" anime. A spike occurred in the SM series due to its focus on game characters over new Anime-originals characters, but poor art style and the Kalos League fiasco likely capped its success. Viewership fell further in the JN series, as it replaced lead female characters with Goh as Ash's sole companion.

In other words, PokΓ©mon quality declined due to new anime-only characters like Alain and Goh. The PokΓ©mon anime executives likely hired a lobby to defend XY&Z and Alain by blaming Ash, similar to Lex Luthor's monkey.

We can literally see in that graph that a new Pokemon series peaking at the start of its run ad losing steam by the end is a consistent trend and in that regard XY(Z) did absolutely nothing to buck the trend, getting lower overall viewership than even BW

Can you do what the OP says and just ignore the F ag? He's just looking for any excuse to start shit for attention, don't give that homeless bum what he wants.

>I'm gonna guess he went with Roy when they dropped him on his island
It makes sense, Cap got the taste of going around, staying with a sad woman isn't up his forte.

Since they're doing a fully blown mini-arc for Roy's time during the timeskip, are Orio and the others likely to get coverage too? I know it's gonna be to the same extent as the island boy but I partially think that they might merge them for a single episode or two like:
>Mollie and Murdock
>Orio and Ludlow

XY flopped because kids were more interested in Yokai Watch

The latter two would be nice since they're the ones alongside who created the crew. Probably might happen in one ep that focuses on Friede's absence when the kids aren't around.

Want a Ludlow ep about what he did in the past year. Not buying the fact he only went fishing.

XY would not have flopped if it was handled like Ashnime instead to forcing it to be Naruto and Yugioh.

I want AZ to show up, but not as an important character. I want him to just be there at some random point, in the background just doing his own thing. I'd find it so funny just seeing this giant walk by in the background like it's perfectly normal. Maybe have Roy comment on the giant man but you get no elaboration.
