Previous: >>58539695

Up next in the anime is Drayton giving Roy a lesson on how not to suck in Double Battles while Carmine makes her return after all the claims of her opposition.
>Is Roy gonna add another Loss to his track record?
>What will be Carmine's next excuse to be a dick to Liko and co?
>What do you make of the speculation based on the material from the OP? (E.g Pecharunt primarily)

>>58553930 (OP)
>Lacey
Eww

>>58553930 (OP)
>Tfw Liko gushes over Alex again

>>58553932
>Yes
>Friede told them to be dicks
>Pecharunt would be nice. Liko getting hypnotized again would be amusing.

>>58553932
>Is Roy gonna add another Loss to his track record?
He'll get a fragment of what Liko went through

Liko should help Uruto to get over his ick.

>>58553958
Roy's girl is cute.

>>58553930 (OP)
So Roy is getting put through the ringer?

>>58553932
>What will be Carmine's next excuse to be a dick to Liko and co?
Liko "tries" to one up her, which isn't accurate. Carmine comes across as slightly defensive and tsun like that.

>>58553932
>Is Roy gonna add another Loss to his track record?
Probably is gonna mirror Liko's streak from the third chapter.
>What will be Carmine's next excuse to be a dick to Liko and co?
Friede said to Liko and co to get under he skin.

>>58553969
Yes.

>>58553969
Uruto would be happy with that.

LiYuno?

>>58553930 (OP)
Make Anne great again.

>>58553932
Q1.Hopefully, would serve to make Drayton a credible trainer despite his laziness.
Q2.Racism
Q3.Judging by the focus they got, Charcadet and Hattrem are gonna evolve.

>>58554071
I'd be shocked if the secondaries are gonna get all the qttention

>>58553932
>What will be Carmine's next excuse to be a dick to Liko and co?
Her thinking that Uruto or something justify her attitude
>What do you make of the speculation based on the material from the OP? (E.g Pecharunt primarily)
Just the Pecharunt one.

Believe in DotLiko.

>>58554880
NO
NUT
NOVEMBER

Dogarde is cute

>>58554925
Why would you nut.

>>58554954
Would've been nice if had actual jump animations in the game.

Do you think there's any ship the Horizons writers like?

>>58555193
Yeah, The Brave Asagi

Nemona's "see you guys back at the academy" is really funny to me because like... I assumed they'd go back there soon, but to have a character kind of just come out and say it for no reason was unexpected.

She didn't even give a reason, like she just drops a "yeah I'm sure you guys will be back in paldea soon so I'll see ya then" as she leaves.

Would the Blueberry Academy arc have a swimsuit episode?

hi /padt/ have webms

Imagine if Ash looked like this.

they always knew

giwtwm

nice angle

>>58555656
Another addition for the pokeass folder

Damn, she is good and with shit mon too! She is Drayton's girlfriend if i remember right.

Liko should still get a Golurk

Is it safe to let him do this?

>>58556213
He’s brown, not asian

I still don't get how this reaction works

Such a loyal girlfriend

Did Nemo even have a Pokémon before the yellow rat?

Lucario was taken down too easily. I've seen him get hit worse. Oh well

>>58556241
Even worse he is asian AND brown

>>58556358
If the game is anything to go by she likes to rotate her team around.

Huh, is this Roy's arc or something?

Soon

>>58556416
It's Roy's show now.

>>58556184
I was looking forward to hating Lacey, but instead she demonstrates the fun of seeing game characters appear in the anime. Through the way she interacts with people, it really does feel like there's a cheerleading squad rooting for you at your side.
Seeing Lacey utilize offensive moves defensively to block attacks and boost Plusle and Minun all in one go was a great preview of what to look forward to with this training arc, providing the staff doesn't drop the ball.

>>58556213
Murdock taught him. If anything goes wrong, point the finger at him

>>58556358
She rotated her team to start a new one at the beginning of Sv

>>58556416
Yeah

Iono, Dot and Canari all use Boku.

>>58556416
It’s been Roy’s arc since Mega Voltage started.

>>58556885
And? They are all streamers in Pokémon.

>>58556892
Good. My boy will go through the dirt before rising up again to kick ass big time.

>>58556902
And I want them all to kiss.

>>58553930 (OP)
Why does it look like she's about to call me a slur?

>>58556919
She's unovan, she probably thinks Liko should be brown and eat burritos

>>58556917
Thats probably if Iono is in charge a paid subscription model.

>>58553932
>What do you make of the speculation based on the material from the OP?
They already did hypnosis shit with Spinel, doing it again with a Pecharunt would probably cater to the former.

>>58553930 (OP)
>What do ya mean ya want me to watch you get pounded by a group of Incineroars from the closet. I though we were a couple.

>>58557012
It's coming.

>>58556919
She's in a bad mood after Crispin got over his oneitis.

>>58556416
Duh, it started off with him.

>>58555624
>You're within my range.

>>58553969
He's overdue for it.

>>58556892
I don't know if I would say that desu. In Mega Voltage, Roy had approximately one episode that was kinda about him (when he fought Nemona back at the academy), but otherwise the episodes were either group-centered, Uruto-centered or Liko-centered. Even Dot had her own episode.

Like, Roy appeared from Mega Voltage with a Lucario and got two Ws right away, but the overall arc hasn't really featured him as the major protagonist as people say.

>>58557261
Lmao, suddenly she cares about him?

>>58555640
>>58555647
Gardevoir is a menace to society.

>>58556184
Drayton's girlfriend is Carmine.

>>58556302
This is just Caps just being a Douche

>>58556416
Roy is Horizons's desperate attempt to fill in for Ash.

>>58557285
I'd argue that since he starts off with a loss right away that he will get a notable amount of focus to compensate for his earlier fumbles in double battles.

>>58556479
I would be down for that in his next battoru with Liko

>>58556358
>Did Nemo even have a Pokémon before the yellow rat?
Cycled through a new one during the SV events.

>>58553932
>What will be Carmine's next excuse to be a dick to Liko and co?
Projecting her disdain for Friede onto them.

>>58556885
What's the endgame with that tactic?

>>58554880
No thanks.

>>58554003
Uuhh, what the fuck?

>>58557447
What's wrong with anon's statement?

>>58554003
Oh I'm making her great alright.

I'm training her into a top slut. Now she can make me cum in 5 minutes. The Little Whore. Heh. All I had to tell her was that I'd make her a better trainer.

I am dominating her like I dominate Juliana.

>>58555647
WHY are these retards so incapable of using the actual lines from the game when the anime quotes the game?

>>58549735
Serena became popular because of one reason, for being a cute busty girl with a crush on Ash. The only other girl with noticeable tits was May but she was pushed toward Drew.

That's why Serena needs to be a J-cup as adult to maintain her popularity especially if grown-up Misty, Korrina, Iris or Marnie might develop bigger bust than her which would immediately kill her popularity since her entire popularity tied to her tits than her actual character and chemistry with Ash.

>>58557469
>I am dominating her like I dominate Juliana.
..on Opposite day.

Golurk fits in Liko's party, I know this has been echoed a bit for months but god damn, I am willing to bet a fortune for Nipglowie to make it happen.

Roy can improve all he wants but that won't save him from the ultimate pounding.

>>58554925
Liko can't even do that.

>>58554424
It's heading towards that in my opinion.

>>58557543
I'd be actually down for a fight with Zir. Guy picked up tricks and actually listened to the feedback from Gurumin but doesn't get to put it to use so far.

>>58557665
Yeah, Rhyperior as a bonus pls.

When's Xavier gonna show up?

>>58555158
I can't get over the fact that there are models whose movement rig are jumping and they didn't think of copying it for Zygs.

>>58557753
Cute and gay.

100 episodes in and no Team Star. And no, Penny doesn't count. She hasn't established herself as a member of Team Star in the Anime.

>>58558036
Uruto will get his revenge against Roy.

>>58558029
The series is post SV anon.

>>58556213
He hasn't crashed into anything so far.

>>58556213
If they can trust kids to do life-changing decisions, letting them steer a blimp is the lower evil.

>>58558100
This

>>58555656
I can't see it.

>>58554954
Dogarde better be a distribution event in ZA.

>>58558506
Never

>>58558506
It might come in the form of the DLC. Although I hate the idea of backloading content into a separate pay wall.

>>58558029
>She hasn't established herself as a member of Team Star in the Anime.
Yes she has, retard.

Frens.

>Eve
>Iolite
>Ev

>Eviolite

>>58558900
It's all coming together.

Licute

>>58559237
LiYuno?

What if when the series ended Roy returned to Kanto and we were shown a scene of him battling Red.

>>58557430
Yeah that. I doubt she'd let it go if she heard of what happened ot Friede.

>>58557543
Why is Rhydon viewed like that?

>>58559290
>allowed himself to be trapped for years to avoid parenthood
Our guy.

>>58559371
>Gets released
>Immediately dies
Truly doesn't want to associate with Family. Lucius is a chad.

>>58553932
>Drayton giving Roy a lesson on how not to suck in Double Battles
First he has to get up which requires physical effort.

>>58558029
>100 episodes in
Yet Liko & Roy still feel less like main characters and more like glorified side character. Does they even has any actual compelling goal?

>>58557802
I haven't stopped believing in him. If Anne can get memed into reappearing on several occasions then it's possible for him too.

>>58559347
Rhydon has a bit of a stigma which is more synonymous than its initial status.

>>58559931
That's a wild theory.

What do you think Sango will do with her life once Spinel is dead

>>58559940
Cause problems for people around her... you know... the same old same old.

I still believe in you.

>>58559958
Ditto

>>58560093
My hero...

>>58558506
I highly doubt that. You'll get it as a stinky mystery code and that is it.

Should she appear on Horizons?

>>58561497
Yes but only her game version. And make it abundantly clear its her game version by having Calem appear with her.

>>58561497
No.

>>58561500
>>58561511
Ignore the F aggot

>>58559940
Food coma

>>58558100
Good point

>>58557087
It's more bizarre to do it again.

How will Croc fly on Kilowattrell when it evolves? Will Kilowattrel just carry it with its talons?

>>58562276
Dickbird will be fine. It might sprain some parts for a while but anything is possible.

>>58562276
Maybe, it had no problem lifting Roy around.

>>58558900
Lol.

>>58557543
Croc will obliterate that one again.

>>58559237
Li Hamber?

>>58554003
Please rephrase.

>>58556933
Isn't it the other way around?

>>58561497
Yes, and make it abundantly clear that she's dating Ash by having him appear with her.

>>58563072
Based.

>>58561497
Yes. And then she blushes around Roy and develops a crush on him. Make the shipper fans cry bitter tears.

>>58559958
I am gonna buy into it if it covers Pecharunt for a full breakdown.

>>58563092
Can you piss off the homeless lolcow somewhere else?

>>58559958
I am gonna buy into it if it covers Pecharunt for a full breakdown. Carmine's annoying bitch ass brother getting humbled in would be a nice bonus.

Them in a nutshell.

>>58562276
Yes

>>58562276
Do not underestimate Dickbird's power?

>>58558900
I feel stupid for taking over a day to gt it.

>>58563112
I still don't get it

>>58563108
Feels right.

>>58563119
Word play.

>>58558729
>No Uruto
Urutofrens..

>>58559958
I'd change up the parts the bits with the Area Zero incident. Otherwise it's largely spot on.

>>58563511
>Zir lost to this

>>58563632
Good.

>>58563752
What's the TL?

>>58563632
Nice

So what is gonna be the gameplan for Liko and Dot in this chapter?

>>58563924
Kiss each other.

>>58563924
Holding hands.

>>58563924
Sex.

>>58563924
Getting married.

>>58563924
Liko is gonna simply man up and train her other Pokemon outside of Meowscarada. Dot might just come up with new tricks.

>>58564039
And hopefully the writers actually decide to let Liko get some wins this time around because nothing quite undermines the image of the protagonist getting stronger than a losing streak

>>58561500
>>58561511
>>58563072
>>58563092
Since when posting anime Serena on /padt/ is against the rule? Especially when there haven't been any confirmation of Horizons taking place on different timeline and its Kalos promotion time due to Pokemon Legends Z-A. This is "Pokemon Anime Discussion thread", not "Pokemon Horizons Discussion Thread".

>>58563924
Mainly evolving and new moves.

>>58564108
Liko got a freaking Terapagos handed to her, don't you think it should come with a cost?

I'd say enough time has passed

Thoughts on Ult?

>>58564242
He's cool. No detriments from his addition.

>>58564242
Love his portrayal.

>>58562276
It wouldn't be the weirdest sight.

>>58563924
>gameplan for Liko and Dot in this chapter?
Maybe one battle or two between the two, the rest distributed amidst the material from blueberry.

>>58564228
A Terapagos that is severely nerfed and barely even participates in battles and that is clearly not on a legendary level? Damn Liko sure got lucky with that Terapagos. She basically got an Arceus huh.

>>58564890
Can you please just ignore the homeless F ag?

>>58563511
Was expecting Cap to go with Liko after Friede's fall. But going with Roy low-key made sense I gues.

>>58559958
I would mix up the parts with Penny since her involvement with Rika and co seems to happen a lot sooner than the Area Zero incident.

>>58564930
Yeah, this. Aside from that, the events line up fine.

>>58564909
Licute's bf is so handsome

>>58565078
That's Liko's. LiCute is a being beyond the physical plane and above the idea of attachment.

>>58553947
>Liko getting hypnotized again would be amusing.
That's not ok!

>>58565273
And I say it is okay. Better even.

Not a fan of how Liko has been getting shifted in the second season, Roy had enough spotlight in the Mega arc, its time to go back to the real MC.
She's the better double battle trainer too.

>>58565633
>how Liko has been getting shifted in the second season
Because she doesn't anything to stand out, it been over 100 episode and she still does not have a concrete goal. Everything just fall onto her lap and all the characters are obligated to love her & care about her as if she is their most precious person only because she is Liko. She is still the same doormat whose entire development is being more confident again.

>>58564242
>Thoughts on Ult?
Around a 3/5. Could use more embarrassment from his involvement with the opposite gender.

>>58562517
Cute

>>58559958
Have no problem with it. Just maybe isolate Penny's bit before the rest follows suit

>>58554424
Counting in it. Charcadet in particular could benefit from it.

>>58565633
>Roy had enough spotlight in the Mega arc
Liko had 4 arcs of focus, Roy has 1 and a 3 episode special so far. She’ll live.

>>58564890
Terapagos is the third legendary of Paldea and Liko can activate its Steller form with her Tera Ord anytime unlike Solgaleo that needs to fuse with Necrozama and Ultra Burst to use its ultimate form.

>>58566739
Did mega voltage even have that much Roy focus?
He had a decent win streak, but outside the nemona episode and the mega evolution(which was shared with Ult) none of the episodes really focused on him.

>>58567118
Bro that Terapagos was struggling against Ursaring

LiCrispin?

>>58554007
Fucking weirdos

>>58553941
...and then she woke up.

>>58553982
>Friede said to Liko and co to get under her skin.
I can almost believe that to be her excuse.

>>58553930 (OP)
>lacey smelling a fart that's not hers

>>58568136
Lacey's into THAT?

ROY SAMA!!

>>58568351
Lmao.

>>58568351
Dojocariobros...

>>58567643
I doubt it.

>>58567157
>Did mega voltage even have that much Roy focus?
It didn't.

Let's look back on Mega Voltage episodes:

HZ090/091 = Roy/Liko focused
HZ092 = group focused
HZ093 = Liko-focused
HZ094 = Mollie-focused with some Liko/Hattrem development
HZ095 = Roy/Liko focused
HZ096 = Group-focused with Uruto development
HZ097 = Dot-focused
HZ098 = Liko-focused
HZ099/100 = Orla-focused/group focused
HZ101 = Roy-focused
HZ102 = Group-focused/Liko-focused
HZ103 = Group-focused
HZ104 = Liko/Amethio-focused
HZ105 = Group-focused/Dot-focused
HZ106 = Uruto-focused
HZ107 = Uruto/Roy-focused
HZ108 = Liko-focused
HZ109 = Dot-focused
HZ110-111 = group-focused

If we're being generous, we can say that Roy gets 2 focus episodes in Mega Voltage, which is very little considering this arc is supposed to be Roy-centric. He did earn some Ws at the beginning of Mega Voltage and he got to beat Nemona, which probably fooled people into thinking he's the new star of anipoke.

It's also to be noted that while Liko's Hattrem and Dot's Tinkatuff both get their own Terastalization moments, the f-ing bird is nowhere to be seen and continues to be irrelevant, which is a tragedy.

>>58568655
>which is very little considering this arc is supposed to be Roy-centric.
Did the staff actually say that or were people just spouting nonsense?

>>58568694
Nah, nothing official. I'm just addressing the comment several people have made about Mega Voltage being "Roy's arc". A really weird thing to say considering Roy has barely had any presence in Mega Voltage. No Kilowattrel episode, no Lucario episode, no Crocalor episode, genuinely nothing.

>>58556933
Stop the right fuck there. Liko is from actual Paldea. Which means she is better than all the mixed people that live in Unova. She maybe a sinful dyke but my descen---I mean Liko is still a pure Aryan.

https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/1985995509425905673

>Pokémon Anime Spotlight:
>Carmine, alongside her Sinistcha, shows up as one of Briar's aides! This is the first time Liko, Roy and Dot see her since the harvest festival in the Land of Kitakami, but... it doesn't seem like they remember her all that well?

>>58568741
Smug bitch.

>>58568741
I'm in love with her.

>>58568741
What a fucking smug bitch. Liko and co did the right thing.

>>58568709
It's the usual case of jumping to the first conclusion and then getting confused about things turning out differently. I am surprised that this is still happening after five chapters in a row.

>>58568893
Make them lose it.

Is it true ameliko canon

>>58565633
Liko's character died the moment she was confirmed to be Lucius's descendant and got Terapagos handed to her. The protagonist is supposed to be somebody the audience can empathize and relate to, but who is supposed to relate to the granddaughter of a famous explorer who finds out she is the descendant of two ancient adventurers with third legendary Pokémon which she is set to inherit because of her bloodline and set on a journey to find an ancient place to meet her ancestor who has been waiting for her for 100 years! The answer is nobody; it makes her look so entitled that people would want her to fail. It's been over 100 episodes that she is still the same doormat waiting for her magic destiny to do everything for her. It doesn't matter if she gets 10 different arcs now, she will forever remain an unrelatable privileged girl who had everything handed to her through her special bloodline.

>Just realised /ptsd/ died sometime after it was revealed Ash is a racist
lel.

>>58568936
I'd say that it exists.

>>58568936
>Is it true ameliko canon
Not canon. But the idea is shoujo-tier, which I dig.

>>58568694
One of the discordtrannies claimed the staff had said so, but it was just a lie. Royfags are sad.

>>58559916
>If Anne can get memed into reappearing on several occasions then it's possible for him too.
I don't think it was actively memed but her appearances were very weird from their timing.

SeriousKo

>>58556916
What's the TL?

>>58568741
my love

Why was the Johto league such a Kantowank league?

>vs Macy: Squirtle wins
>vs Jackson: Bulbasaur wins
>vs Gary: Charizard wins

Johto pokémon aren't allowed any big victories, they exist just to be worse versions of the kanto starters

>>58569310
Friede..

>>58569214
Liko doing the same thing Amethio did.

>>58568694
Leaks (yeah yeah I know) highlighted that Roy was meant to be more prominent in the second half.

>>58567189
Still sad that that was literally her only solo win in the entirety of the Mega Voltage arc

>>58568741
I mean, I’m pretty sure they only saw her at the end of the episode and Friede had all the interactions with her. Not surprised they don’t remember her

>>58569857
It's not like Carmine was someone you want to remember.

Remember when they straight up lied saying every gen 8 gym leader would show up?
Haha...fuck Journeys

>>58568994
They were memed into existence. Anne is a result of the accursed halls.

>>58567189
Because Liko sucks as a trainer.

>>58570305
>Anne is a resu-
Anne is an ugly whore

>>58570615
Take that back.

>>58559921
I know it's meh

>>58564554
Roy's Lucario getting special new mega evolution would make Roy and Lucario even more unlikable, does writers understand that? it is already dubbed as the worst Lucario due to its lack of personality and meaningful interaction with anybody, making puppy expression won't going to change anything. Roy becoming tall handsome ikeman that can beat Nemona did not made Roy popular, it made him an unlikable self insert.

>>58571122
>it made him an unlikable self insert.

Have you considered that some anipoke fans are fans of that? Why else do you think they're so obsessed with Ash?

>>58571142
Dude, if that was true then they would have dropped Pokemon anime within 10 episode because Ash was opposite of that. Ash was only allowed to have goods things in SM and JN series with JN series being his final series for now. After all, Ashfags didn't hesitate to call out SM and JN series for their poor writing even when Ash won. While Royfags outright sugercoat everything from Horizons.

At least Ash and Cynthia having the new Mega Evolution for Lucario and Garchamp would make better narrative sense than Roy and a brand new OC from Horizona.

> HZ gangs : Liko, Roy, Dot , Uruto

The anime characters.

>>58571142

>>58569908
Was about to say that. Carmine has an attitude that she better gets a hold of.

>>58567157
>Did mega voltage even have that much Roy focus?
Not particularly. It's been roughly the same as the earlier chapters.

>>58553930 (OP)
Ah...Lacey much better.....

She really needs to get better at opening yogurt containers, how messy.

damn

Since z-a is out I wonder if they'll show off mega pyroar in the end credits segment? They showed off mega steelix in the episode where they fought two regular steelix, so they've done it before.

Finally people are seeing the vision. I had the same thoughts last week.
The problem is their color scheme overlaps almost completely with Armarouge, which means, it's very unlikely for this to happen.
I want her to get Froslass the most but they don't seem to have plans for the ship's Snorunt. Otherwise they would have started foreshadowing it already...

So, when, or rather, how we expecting Kieran?

Personally I feel that she should have a Mega engineered for her existing team i.e. Mega Hatterene

>>58572734
I agree actually. I would have wanted a Mega Ceruledge in the DLC because it's one of my favorite Paldean mons... And well, if there's a Mega Ceruledge there'd be a Mega Armarouge, no? Which is perfect for Liko.
Idk whe Gamefreak didn't give them Megas

I'd say that some Pokemon are coupled to get Megas if one of them gets one. Like if Corviknights for instance gets one then Tinkaton would follow suit

She's not only a bitch but also clumsy as balls

They thought it would be funny to make others mad.
