This is still early but congrat! He never give up on his dream and today is the day people will remember his name

What's the name again?
Ass Ketchup
>Ash
>winning a league
Heh
too bad he's comatose af and needs to WAKE UP
Alola League is the equivalent of the Orange League
He won the Orange League though.
Why does retard Ash win but somewhat competent Kalos Ash lose?
Soot Getchu
Ashley Ketchum
But the alola league is canon
Can anyone tell me how's Ash a nigger?
he's been in Hawaii for the past few years, he got tanned
/padt/ is gonna be fun
The Mustardo
Oh...Great. I'm so excited Ash is getting a pity win in the biggest joke of a league ever after that shitty finale in XY. I don't give a shit anymore but I guess I hope it's Pikachu that nets him the win I guess.
is he a 40 year old dwarf? how would the anime explain him goin all over the world and still being a kid?
If they absolutely ever have to (they won't) they'll probably just make that Ho-oh theory canon.
The entire journey took less than a year in canon I guess.
imagine if they revealed these as animations in swsh lol
Anyone have a link to the livestream?
>3 years
Holy shit what happened with the time
Satoshii Gottem'
If he wins, then the reboot won't feature him at all.
I just saw the last few episodes. How is this even a real league? There's no elite 4 and literally everyone was allowed to enter with no requirements whatsoever
The game did the same
In X&Y the stars alligned and it looked as if it was finally his time, he still lost anyway. If they refused to let him win at the most perfect opportunity, I doubt they ever will.
Is /vp/ streaming it?
where can I watch it with Anons?
In the game you needed to beat the Kahuna's and you still fought the elite 4
Cenizas Salsa de Tomate
Are you new to the anime? They never fight the elite 4
>In a next few hours, he's become Alola region first-ever league champion
Doesn't matter; the anime's quality is on the ground and the games, ergo, the whole IP's reputation with its gen's games is pretty much the same.
The best moment for it was at Kalos. Also; Battle Frontier winner.
They never show it because ash always loses but the elite 4 exist in every region in the anime except alola
Alola has an elite 4
Play the game
>still hasn't managed to win the Kanto championship, instead runs further and further away from it in each new season
best girl
XY was his moment to win. Thus league is such a joke that I feel nothing from this
You're just saying that because she has a prime cunny.
Shit canon is not real canon.
Lmao
I just want cute fishing girl by the seaside.
>Still actually caring about pokemon
Listen, I know some of you at mentally attached to the series forever, but some of you simply need to grow up, move on, and play better RPGs.
It's just a stale franchise at this point. Grow the fuck up.
EACH TIME
YOU TRY
Y'GONNA GET JUST A LITTLE BIT BETTER
Guys
What if he a actually wins?
Then he'd just win a shitty league nobody gives a flying fuck about, just like the Orange league.
>you will never fuck Lana, her mother, and her sisters at the same time
But I care.
Wow, that takes me back.
They don't make em like that anymore
>her mother
gross, 2old
You think you do but you don't.
seethe harder Serenafag
>caring about urban trash more than vidya
pokemon fucking sucks, play better rpgs
play better games in general
That was really funny they even gang raped with dislikes the next few YouTube videos the anime studio or some official pokemon account upload after that
>Serenafag
Who?
I wish I could take a look at her father and see that he loos just like a male adult version of Lana, Milhouse style.
>meme league
If this counts then orange should've.
Because he told alain to join the league like a dumbass
So? The Elite 4 have nothing to do with the League in the show.
>Yes, I love pokemon anime
It's too late for them user some just can't get out of their nostalgia for a franchise that isn't good anymore.
video games consumers are the easiest to take money from hands down
Pokemon is without a doubt the Simpsons of the videogame industry.
The show is really awkward about the elite four and sometimes just makes its up own rules
Like the majority of the time they're just CoTDs that show up for one or two episodes to either help out the gang or kick Ash's ass and teach a lesson that helps me grow and never appear again, there was one time in the DPP anime where Flint actually made it to the league finales and got to fight Cynthia but they never show the results and Ash goes back to Kanto a few episodes later
I heard the Sun & Moon anime was actually pretty good and can be enjoyed by adults. Is any of that true?
A friendly reminder that the anime stopped being good after the Hoenn region.
Dust Mayonnaise
yes, it had the most kino episode in the series
Elaborate
Nope, that would be Sonic.
It's Pokemon so not really
Truth.
Is he actually going to win it this time or people are memeing?
How many hours left?
It's already confirmed Ash won.
Isn't his Pikachu still losing against level 1 starter pokemon?
How much of a chance does he honestly have being such a shitty fucking trainer
Hey I've seen this rerun before.
did you just fucking jinxed it?
reminder this series lost all meaning long time ago and ash somehow is still 10 years old even tho he was cannonically 15 some gens ago
>tfw getting interested in it because of all the shilling by Smash, Nintendo and the fact that all my friends still play it, but everyone, even the fans, say it's shit
i just wanna see ash win a league to give this crap some closure
IT'S NEVER GOING TO FUCKING END
POKEMON IS A CARROT ON A STICK WITH NO CARROT
IT'S MEAN TO MILK FOREVER AND EVER.
it has been said many times over that ash hasnt win a major league yet because that would mean his journey is over
so, unless the series is finally ending with him, he wont win
post yfw ash wins a major league with a fucking pikachu
Gotta sell Toys yo.
Yugioh changed its protagonist and look what happened to them, no one likes GX.
Its going to be Ash doing the exact same shit forever.
The last battle is lycanroc vs lycanroc
>levels
>anime
lmao i didnt even knew yugioh was still running
That art is horrific holy shit, modern anime is god awful
i thought the series was already rebooted or something with that change of artstyle that is now crap
>Pokemon is all modern Anime
No. There are plenty of fun good anime this decade. Pokemon can do anything and still sell.
So redpill me on Pokemon's writers, why don't they let Ash win? Is it some kind of joke at this point? They fell him winning it would deprive the character of motivation (like kids will know about it 10 years down the line)? Don't tell me it's about nips culture because they love when the good guy wins if we go by anime and manga for kids.
see this
This is will never not be funny
SM's anime is actually good though, unlike XY.
It's nothing outstanding, I've mostly watched it while doing something else in another window, but it's usually fun enough sol shit.
Atleast it's animated unlike the paning shots of stills anime is today
KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
What the fuck were they Thinking.
I miss Serena.
So when's the episode?
>if ash wins a league that means his journey is over
Whats stopping him from just dropping the trophy at home and just go to the next league???
It's in six hours.
I don't know why they think that way when it's evidently not what people do with the games
The writers
Isn't the new series a reboot?
that pink bear pokemon looks like a chinese bootleg
Serena was arguably the worst part about the season.
>dexfags thinking they can take on an STR build
Yugi still felt cool by the time his run was over, so kids wanted a bit more of him.
In comparison, Ash is pathetic by this point, all his previous friends now only feel like acquaintances, and there have been like three generational gaps since when the show first aired.
Every series is a reboot in the sense that he gives away all his pokemon but pikachu and then fucks off to a new region never to talk to any of his old friends again.
Though brock and misty showed up for a handful of episodes when they went to kanto, was kind of weird to see specifically gen 1 anime pandering instead of just gen 1 in general since there's got to be a pretty small amount of people still watching the anime who cared about the gen 1 anime.
DORIDORIDORIMU PAWAA
And we're never going to see him again after this because once Ash wins a league that has a game counterpart, the anime must permanently end.
Enjoy the next series with an AU Ash who has zero accomplishments!
They are 4 min shorts about the manga

I hope Ash is cute again next series
I really really hate the artstyle they used in Sun & Moon, goodness gracious Ash looks so hideous here.
ash is done hes not gonna be in any more
Wrong.
If they drop Ash, they drop Pikachu.
They'll just switch over to an AU Ash with no accomplishments who hasn't yet fully explored all the regions thus far, hence the next series' focus on all regions rather than Galar exclusively.
Legacy stuff is bigger than you think, Precure had Nagisa and Honoka come back for the anniversary and it was big

okay twice

damn
I thought alola didnt had a true league
Alola is literally Orange Islands tier, winning the Battle Frontier is unironically his best accomplishment as they're literally E4 tier (stronger in the games).
>was hype because I was expecting ash to get incineroar so the final would be a full lucha moves madness
>he doesn’t get it
>the final is night dog vs twilight dog
What the fuck went so wrong?
I meant specifically for pokemon, not long-running series in general.
TPC still thinks that shilldog is the most popular mon of the gen when Incineroar stole the title a long time ago.
>Season is mostly comfy sol
>Ash never gets the fag cat
>Wins the tournament to boot
SM is the gift that keeps on giving
Lord Moldybutt
Doesn't he always show up and beat him?
I remember that being a running theme, at least up until DP.
1.- Alola is not canon, at least the leagues dont work the same way.
2.- as the first champion, by definition, will mean that someone, as in, THOUSANDS! will surpass him. his title means absolutely JACK SQUAT.
3.- if what the rumors say about Ash retiring after this and the new anime having a new protag is true, then that means that the ONLY reason they are doing this is because they are still 'bound' by that retarded 'the anime has to end if ash wins a league' rule.
this pity win is nothing more than a plea of the cast and crew for forgiveness, and anyone who has half a brain should do the right thing, and harass every single one of these morons until they want to suicide!
that rule they made was always retarded, and ruined the best season they had because of it, and they need to have it perfectly clear!
dude what the fuck you can't just say that
imagine staying 10 your whole life only after leaving a country you lose all your expirinces and become stupid again, being trapped in an endless cycle of mediocrity
Stay mad, XYgote.
Damn, I haven't heard that name in years.

I forgot there are proles whom think that BW2 are good, it didn't even top BW
I love seeing faggots that only care about the few episodes long league get dabbed on. They only want him to win because they want to see a show they don't care about and wouldn't start caring about again either way destroyed out of spite for people that actually enjoy it.
Glad they don't consider Alola league canon for whatever autistic reason they throw at us as if it matters.
I am jealous of your naivete, it's near impossible to not meet the unovabortion cabal in every thread on here.
>a game that tops HGSS
The original Gold and Silver
Sun and Moon was literally, Orange League but this time they had a game and new pokemon. None of this is going to be earned, he already officially lost against Hau but they asspulled his Rowlet's knock out as "Only Sleeping".
>no shine in blacked-Ash's eyes
is she mindbroken from losing so much?
wut
>they asspulled his Rowlet's knock out as "Only Sleeping"
The absolute state of the Pokemon anime
Ho-oh theory?
Literally BW and BW2
What hasn't been topped yet is Platinum
ash died/got put into a coma from the fearows within the first day of his journey
ho-oh witnessed this and gave the dying boy a fantasy dream to live in
>few
>1/4 of the day
>actual retards who don't value time
fuck off, few hours is at most 3 or 4
Ho-oh can literally revive living beings
a god shouldn't go around reviving every unfortunate person
Two alternate theories
Either happened or when Ash first started his journey and saw Ho-Oh he wished for his journey to never end, hence he'll never age and never become a master because then it'd all be over
Ash's greatest dream is a journey that never ends.
Ho-Oh granted him that dream.
>has to win the special people league to get by.
Isnt it depressing, he has finally done it, yet it is absolutely meaningless, if this wasnt a kids show this would be a perfect time for a existential crisis arc.
I haven't watched since mid Hoenn season. From what I hear, they retconned his adventure starting during BW(?). But the show still references his adventures with Misty, Brock, Dawn, etc.
It's all bullshit. Retards will still eat it up no matter what. They're gonna milk Ash forever UNTIL they do . GF, TPC, and Nintendo are starting to realize Diversity sells (or at least keeps the SJW mafia at bay)
This shits almost as depressing as the Rugrats theory of everyone being a figment of Angelicas imagination.
The coma theory is fucking stupid, and even dumber was the original writer of the anime considered something similar at one point.
>From what I hear, they retconned his adventure starting during BW(?).
No they haven't retconned anything at all.
The closest it came was probably XY where they referenced literally nothing from previous seasons outside of the opening where he's coming in on a plane from Unova. But aside from that nothing has been retconned.
>I haven't watched since mid Hoenn season. From what I hear, they retconned his adventure starting during BW(?). But the show still references his adventures with Misty, Brock, Dawn, etc.
Nothing of the sort ever happened, he gets "retconned" at the end/start of every season outside of gen 2 not changing from gen 1.
> They're gonna milk Ash forever UNTIL they do
Nip companies don't give a fuck about diversity (in that sense) they just put out what sells. Why do you think there are a handful of Big Titty Waifu Simulator series that sell like hotcakes (for the amount of effort/money put into them). You don't think Nessa and Bea and Allister being attractive was coincidence, do you?
You mean platinum don't you frog boy
>likes GX.
*Laughs in Elemental hero*
You just know
No you zoomer faggot, Shinnoh was garbage
I still don't understand why don't they just adapt the fucking games with their different protags.
Just mix it up every season, you don't know if the main character is going to be champion or lose or even lose against the Elite 4 before some shit happens(BW would've been great for that)
Way more exciting, lets them have protags with different personalities and be more involved with the region and their allies and villains.
Like Dawn/Lucas and Barry are bffs/rivals from the get go and save the world while Cynthia creeps around all season long
Is having Pikachu every episode that neccesary, is Ash some household name at this point, are they afraid of change and just want to cash in doing the bare minimun
that tryone gets pegged by those two futas next to him? Just look how submissive he is.
Cuz ash has the pikachu and, for a time, the charizard.
is pokemon anime still a thing?
fill me in on what happened during the last 15 years
I could have sworn there was a mattfag video where they counted how old he's supposed to be and he points out how the anime retconned his origin (like the movie that came out recently)
As far as the diversity thing, I mean look at the race of the characters. Look at the locations. They're not all just obvious Japan references and Japanese characters. It's only a matter of time before you get to choose the skin color of your avatar in the games and the antagonist of the anime isn't going to be Ash, or Japanese, or a boy. I could care either way since I'm from PR but it's fun to point out
>are they afraid of change and just want to cash in doing the bare minimun
You're pointing blame at the wrong people. It's normalfags who are afraid of change and want the bare minimum. If they tried doing anything cool, they'd lose money, even if the world agreed that it was better the normalfags would still consume less.
Not Just a theory, the writer of the first two seasons wanted the second movie to reveal that Ash dreamt the whole anime and Entei was supposed to set him free to wake him up.
>when you really really wish you were Masaaki Yuasa
>It's only a matter of time before you get to choose the skin color of your avatar in the games
uhh, when was the last time you played a pokemon game?
HGSS nuzlocke last month
>/pol/
>playing video games
their idea of playing video games is looking at whatever images people post of it online and basing the entire game off that.
You've been able to change the skin color of the PC as long as you've been able to customize them.
You literally can do that in XY and in S&M. And why would that be a bad thing in the first place?
>Ash winning an official anime league where he battles a champion with fully evolved pokemon in a 6v6 battle
>SMfags think this isn't an accomplishment
>Ash winning a league where any average joe with at least 1 pokemon can enter and there are no battles beyond 3v3s
>SMfags think this is an accomplishment
Because Ash and Pikachu are icons at this point. And looking at other series like digimon it really was the best idea to keep them.Honestly very long running series in the ratings don't do any protagonist switching out nonsense either. The only one to make it work is Precure. Imagine if Doraemon switched out protags every season or Conan or One Piece Sazae san or Shin-chan. Stability is what works.
>What the fuck went so wrong?
You're a retard that had high expectations for the Pokemon anime and watched SM.
But Digimon Tamers is better than anything Pokemon has ever put out ever
Didn't Toei kind of have to make Precure different, because Doremi characters looked too identical?
>In the end, I guess we were really Pokemonâ„¢ after all
Emerald, Platinum, and Black 2 surpass HGSS easily.
So when will we know if ash is in the new anime? They can’t bed his journey on a pity tourney having him look like he does can they?
and yet it's smaller. Quality does not sell to the masses, plebs want a very distinct bland dish or they won't consume
>a league where any average joe with at least 1 pokemon can enter and there are no battles beyond 3v3s
Wait, really?!
GX was kino, it's a parody/deconstruction of the original Yugioh and card game anime in general.
The first two seasons go over the top with shit like the goddamn navy delivering trading cards to the school and a man mediating under a waterfall so he could learn to bullshit draws like Yugi used to do , and the last two seasons showed a darker, more realistic take on a world where underage kids play a card game with the power to literally kill people with ancient egyptian magic.
Yes.
>ash gets cucked in literally every region's league

The story I heard was that it would have ended with Ash as an old man in the real world with his family, remembering his childhood, and how he would go around and catch imaginary Pokemon creatures.
Im with you. At first I hated GX but it grew on me and the story was much better than the original. Plus Elemental Heroes was awesome as were cyber dragons.
One Piece at least has a progressive story, and Conan is basically anime Sherlock Holmes.
Ash is just sad, he keeps failing over and over and over, and after he fails, he resets and goes on to fail again.
If they really want Pikachu on the anime, just have each protag meeting a different Pikachu. They can even have different hats and accessories, kinda like Detective Pikachu, and that would also help to sell even more plushies of different Pikachus.
BW was the season there was a major gas leak and everyone went retarded
Yes, really. SMfags are hyping up a league where newbies with just 1 pokemon can compete.
The little brown girl is leagues above everyone else, how does she do it?
our emperor got elected.
>Yugioh changed its protagonist and look what happened to them
Don't you remember, Pokemon attempted to change the main character in gen 2 and it underperformed so bad they reconnected it
Because Iris is best girl, duh.
wow the full version of this image sucks
fuck, forgot the pic
You can't really blame Digimon being far behind on Ash and Pikachu being on every season.
Hol the fuck up. Did he actually won?
A retard with a Magikarp entered.
This tournament's been a total shitshow. Why are you guys getting all excited about him winning the equivalent of a kindergarten test?
GX is fantastic
>there are people in here who don't own Judai's figure
>the original writer of the anime considered something similar at one point
What do you mean?
That was literally just a TV special, he was never meant to replace Ash.
crystal
6 and Ash winning the championship is actually a dream he has while sleeping in, missing the champion fight.
Original writer of the anime didn't really think much of the games. He wanted to end the show with a war between humans and Pokemon and separating the two forever.
I tried watching the anime but no matter how much pcp I’d smoke it just never got entertaining
>Vast majority of normalfags consider the anime canon the only thing that matters
>We'd have to go through years of people claiming the canon of the games didn't matter because it was all just in Ash's head
Huh, so they kinda brought that in with the I Choose You movie.
To be fair, that feels a lot more like classic Ash. It's just that following DP where the only thing that could stop him from winning a Pokémon League was a team of Legendaries, you expect him to be able to handle anything. His first response to Darkrai was his Bug/Fighting Heracross with Guts, Megahorn, Focus Punch, and Sleep Talk.
I get what they were trying to do with Best Wishes. It's what they do with every odd Generation. It always has to be a reset, a return to basics. It happened in AG, it happened in BW, and it happened in SM. But BW handled it the worst by actually reverting Ash's character. I get that he had stopped being interesting as a character as he became more experienced and that there was a charm to his amateur days, but you can't follow the Sinnoh League with that. At least SM was smart about it and didn't make him an amateur. Sure, they don't focus on him being highly skilled like in XY and most of his difficulties seem to come from working with an amateur team, but at least he isn't forgetting basic information.
Based GXbros
Woah I’m not reading all that shit
You are mentally ill
Sorry that me big words hurt tiny user brains
Me am say things user want hear for easy understand
as someone that hasn't kept up with the anime since like sixth grade (so, midway through RSE era I guess) the impression I get from what I've seen online over the years is that people aren't upset about this win because "not a real league" so much as they are just so fucking burned out at this point on him constantly losing, including one season where it was just straight up bullshit that he lost (XY I think?) so giving it to him now feels like too little too late and the fact that this season is a more comedic one with a lower barrier to entry for the league to begin with just makes it feel more like an insult to them.
how far off the mark am I?
Fucking retard
Don't beat yourself up user
Angelica's WHAT???first time I'm hearing that
what's the story behind this?
If we go by game logic it was literally impossible for him to lose the XY league, and that was AFTER a OHKO move with a 5% accuracy rate hit. I think the episode before the last one he had 3 full health pokemon vs a badly injured and a full one.
Regardless though, XY was a bad series in general filled with shonenspics and serenautism, I'm glad their fans got burned.
Jobfrog was cancer as fuck too, and one of the best aspects about SM is that ash's torracat has the decency to never evolve into an incineroar and his ace for most of the series is lycanroc.
DP was the bullshit one since Tobias had a Darkrai and a Latios. XY pissed off a lot of fans too since Ash-Greninja lost to a Charizard X.
your 3 years too late, "BURNO BLASTO!!!" and the fandumb went shit cra cra

>Is having Pikachu every episode that neccesary, is Ash some household name at this point,
Shaggy and Scooby...
No? He wanted everything to be a dream or end the series with a war between human and Pokémon where Ash and Pikachu killed each other.
And about the movie, it was about a T-Rex killing every mon and human.
Fuck lillie fuck lillie fuck lillie fuck lillie fuck lillie fuck lillie fuck lillie
All of the UB are just stranded from the ultra wormhole and are just ornery that they aren't in their own dimension anymore, so all of the episodes about them are just calming them down and/or getting them to go home except for guzzlord, which is apparently some ancient unspeakable evil that destroyed a parallel universe and is maybe going to attack the main universe next.
Pheromosa is stealing a z-ring in that scene, I think.
The series is getting a reboot next Gen though
>Tobias
ah yes. that was some bullshit alright
Imagine putting this much effort into something that’s actually useful.
>PM
>Not canon
HAHAHAHAHA Cope you XYsperg
>Is having Pikachu every episode that neccesary, is Ash some household name at this point, are they afraid of change and just want to cash in doing the bare minimun
Pikachu is literally the most reconizable character on the face of the planet.
Ash is only around because he's associated with him.
Nobody likes the game protagonists.
No one likes the MALE game protagaonists**
don't we all
Incenaroar is evolving in the match against masked royal
Oh God please let us get a sequel to this.
The duo is iconic, honestly having to explain how intertwined the anime is to Ash to a bunch of people who actually have given and use the stupid term "ashime" is probably peak irony
Okay.
Nope, it won't evolve until after it defeats Incineroar in order to prove it didn't need to be in its final stage to be superior to its rival.
FUCK YOU
forgot pic
Ash is extremely recognizable. Even boomers who stopped following the show know him. As opposed to uh who's that guy I only remember the first guy. A brand's power is from how recognizable it is. If you didn't follow the Yu Gi Oh franchise after the beginning you wouldn't know what the fuck is going on.
You're essentially right. The XY anime finished during the 20 year anniversary of the games. Ash progressed farther than he ever had in a real League. He battled the Champion of Kalos and had her on the ropes and panicking despite her using her main WHILE Mega Evolved before their battle was interrupted. Everything pointed towards this being his triumph, along with the fact that Alola was confirmed not to have a Pokémon League. It got down to their last Pokémon, Ash-Greninja vs Mega Charizard X, and while Ash-Greninja no longer had a 2x type advantage, it at least resisted Fire moves. Charizard tanked hit after hit while Greninja got KO'd by Dragon Claw and Blast Burn. While the Trainer, Alain, had at least been built up since early on in the Generation and had parts of his journey displayed where he challenged Mega Evolved Trainers, he didn't even really plan on entering the League.
Obviously Ash is winning the Alola League not because of backlash to XY, but because of interference from higher up. The writers wanted Ash to win Kalos. Gen VII is the anniversary Gen. Alola Forms for Kanto Pokémon, characters talking about how amazing Kanto is, Kanto getting remade in the style of Let's Go. Even the 151 Battle Royal at the beginning of the League is a reference to the Master Trainers in LGPE (not that it had 151 Master Trainers), but these weren't masters. These were civilians who just thought it would be fun to enter. And for the actual League, there were no full 6v6 battles. It was either 1v1, 2v2, or 3v3 for the very finals. Ash is the only character with 6 Pokémon in Alola, and it's not even at one time (though his exhibition against the Masked Royal will be a 6v6). There wasn't really anything particularly amazing about winning this League. Paul, Gary, or Alain could easily win this League. I don't mind the SM anime, but why did they try to make his victory so low stakes? It's like a professional runner winning a race at an elementary school.
To be fair yugioh goes off the rails pretty hard, even just in the later parts of GX.
Things get weird in the original series but it's like every new series escalates the levels of stupidity
>game logic
>5% accuracy rate
It's 30% you dummy. Still low though. And Alain was an OP opponent anyway so it isn't THAT ridiculous for Ash to lose to him. Megazard was fighting against other megas and legendaries throughout the season.
Are you illiterate or something? That took me a minute to write. The only form of communication on this board is READING. Finish high school before coming here.
X and Y brought in a huge amount of retarded shonenfags that invested into a weekly episodic Doraemon cartoon meant to advertise the games and merch. Then got assmad that was what they got.
And most of them are ESLs who grew up on DBZ, making it even more hilarious.
TL:DR
>Thinking GX is Kino
5Ds is where yugioh reach it peak
i blame for CARD GAME ON MOTORCYCLE meme that dont allowed people to give it another chance
Is it NTR if you're the one NTRing yourself. Or is that just kinky roleplay.
Zexal was kinoer though with zexal II and vector
>:D
GTFO fag
And it has a surprisingly good English OP.
kek
Butthurt nobody will read your book faggot?
Dont
Like you've ever read one
because it hilarious! the first league victory ash wins wont be the season he was a try hard shounen wanna be hero with a vapid 1 note girlfriend but the one after were he silly as shit, retarded hero like he was in the early day of the series
Reading books is gay
He lost his first League because he deserved to lose though
CARD GAME ON MOTORCYCLE is why people don't watch it to begin with
the massive changes halfway through are why people don't give it a second chance
Which is why I'm confused you don't read them
I honestly don't see the appeal of "competent" Ash. He displays no personality to speak of. He went from a bumbling kid to ME BATTLE ME DENSE HAREM PROTAGONIST DATTEBAYO.
what are you talking about?
The second half might be a downgrade, but its still have standard shounen hype
youtu.be
So how are Ash's Pokemon going to job this time?
>CARD GAME ON MOTORCYCLE is why people don't watch it to begin with
oh please
a lots of current anime have gayer, and more nonsensing gimmick than that
playing card game hardly the worse of everything
Got eeem looplololoolxdxdcfcf pfffhahaha oh my fuck roflcoptermaoxd
He should have been fetching pails of water instead
>a lots of current anime have gayer, and more nonsensing gimmick than that
name five
I never said 5Ds was bad, Dark Singers was Yugioh at it's best, I still think GX was kino, I never felt my feelings on something change as drastically as they did with GX, the last 2 seasons felt like everything was a long joke, and it was the punchline, I hated Jaden/Judai as a protag, but seeing him grow up into a broken man that's sick and tired of him and his friends almost dying every other week due to some ancient evil was amazing.
Why?
Vrains is fucjing garbage. I cant wait for it to end.
Vrain is a victim paying for ArcV sin
>name 5 poster completely and utterly BTFO
more like an amusing surprise
>that artstyle
WHAT THE FUCK DID THEY DO TO HER?
Imagine being such a chad that you could cuck yourself.
Is Ash really going to leave his new mom and dad
This is probably my favorite part of the season. Ash finally got to experience what a real dad was like, just like he experienced what a real housewife was like when Brook travellled with him.
true I'm not denying that
That was literally a series of 1 off stories you nerd. Each story had a different main character.
I actually wish it had gone longer.
sinnoh was him being a competent trainer nearing the peak of his game with a personality that was true to his early days . X&Y were him being popped into a shonen mold with no inadvigual personality to speak of, every line he said was just a retread of another hero's speech we've heard before
>housewife
>Brock
bitch please Brock is the patron saint of all older brothers who take care of their younger sibling after they abandoned by their parents! yeesh com to think of it he has one of the harsher backstories in a group adventure anime for young teens now that I think of it
I wouldn't consider his personality to be similar to his early days in Sinnoh. But I would consider his personality to be a natural evolution that could easily be mistaken for maturing. BW was an attempt to reset Ash, but the brand was too homogenized at that point to do anything interesting with it. XY tried to be that same Ash, but more focused on battle. SM was that Ash but more of a goofball kid. It's a kid-like Ash without the precocious grit of the original series.
NOO AN ANIME WITH DIFFERENT MC'S CAN'T SUCCEED
NORMIES WOULDN'T LIKE IT
Yugioh dropped off after Battle City and for whatever reason, Kaz thought making the final Arc with barely any cards games was a good idea.
GX struggled to gain in audience because it was directionless and not serious as DM. 5Ds jumped the shark and turned off the plebs.
>5Ds jumped the shark and turned off the plebs.
How?
I remember seeing an old translated interview with one of the writers for the pokemon anime
they basically said that it has canonically only been something like 6-8 months since Ash first started his journey.
which both does and doesn't make sense at all
How did the animation get so much shittier over the last 20 years? I mean, Pokemon never had good animation but this shit is the Japanese equivalent of Cal Arts.
Cards games on Motorcycles
that was 10 year ago
current trend is enjoy thing ironically
To be fair, you spend like 8 years with JoJo protags these days. We still have a good 2-3 years with Gappy left.
I watched that marathon and saw that DP had the last good league.
BW and XY leagues were shit. The BW league was filled with incompetent idiots, Ash had too many unevolved pokemon, and only had one good battle with the redhead fat kid. The XY league was mostly skipped, and the battles consisted of anti-climatic ties, Ash forgetting how to counter basic tactics, and Pikachu doing most of the work while the rest of Ash's Gen 6 team were pathetically defeated. And neither of those leagues had Ash using his older pokemon from previous generations.
it has been plenty of hours since the OP, so did he win or what
It's in three hours.
>the battles consisted of anti-climatic ties, Ash forgetting how to counter basic tactics, and Pikachu doing most of the work while the rest of Ash's Gen 6 team were pathetically defeated.
This is why you should never believe the hype XYfags tried to push during the airing. XY Ash was almost as dumb as BW Ash with the only difference being that XY made Ash lucky and every opponent he faced was laughably weak in retrospect.
I hate this trend so fucking much. How come ppl can't geniually enjoy things instead hiding behind a mask of irony.
I'm already seeing 4Kids Sympahizers and it's FUCKING GROSS
XY Ash lost to a Surskit.
I want disgusted lillie to step on me
stop trying to force this shit. nobody cares about the sun and moon anime.
does pokemon really air that late in Japan? I always figured it was on around the same time as stuff like precure
You know when YGO died when no one wants to make parodies of GX, or anything else after it
USM
Except riding duels are presented as a normal thing in the 5Ds universe. It's not like Yusei is a godmode protagonist because he can ride a bike, fucking everyone can ride a bike in the show, even the dorky twins learn how to duel on a motor-skateboard. It might catch you by surprise at first, but after a few you'll find that they're the same as any other duel and even tend to be more enjoyable than the standing ones.
>he's become Alola region first-ever league champion
Remember that season where he lost against an actual neckbeard with a Latios which is totally against the lore of the series?
I really gave up on Satoshi winning then and there. Even the theme of the cartoon talks about settling with small victories.
On the other hand, he is hardly a scrub, his rank should be enough to warrant some sort of sponsorship. Not to mention he insist fighting with a hand behind his back, who knows what would happen if Ash used his high lvl team.
cool he probably won, can the anime end now? shame it won't. fuck tpc and their merch.
That shit is tumblr tier.
What are you talking about retard SuMo has been praised for having more expressive and fun animation than any Pokemon anime in years
>should do the right thing, and harass every single one of these morons until they want to suicide!
Behead those who disrespect pokemon.
Alola Akbar!
Well damn, then Ash is some sort of prodigy.
He managed to complete EVERY pokedex entry in 8 months.
Compared to that, winning a league seems really a small time thing to do. One person might accomplish that once or twice in their lifetime. Ash managed to top every league in 8 months.
When you put it like that, Ash is badass.
>kukui walks in
Yeah, it's 6 pm on Sundays. I'd expect a morning slot.
Go back to your containment board.
Imagine the relationship.
>it's NTR but not exactly since it's the same guy
>Ash travels around Kanto through to Sinnoh which are based off the landscapes of Japan
>He then travels west to Unova which is based off New York
>He then makes which way to some islands on his way back to Kanto which are based off small islands along the Pacific Ocean
>He then travels east to arrive in Kalos which is based off France
>He then travels west to arrive in Alola which is based off Hawaii
He's practically gone around the world, wouldn't be surprised if Pokemon Generations finally leaves Ash instead of having him keep going back-and-forth around the world.
>Generations
Whatever the new one is called
>Eventually she comes on him
>keeps his mask on
>have several engagements
>guilt ridden Burnet confronts Kukui about her affairs
>he thought she knew and was just trying to spice it up with roleplay
Literally the only good Joestars are Gappy and Josuke
And he did it all in under a year of his life as a 10yo.
>except for guzzlord, which is apparently some ancient unspeakable evil that destroyed a parallel universe and is maybe going to attack the main universe next.
That's pathetic, even for B&W season's standars
I haven't watched the new anime, who is Ash fighting in the finals anyway? is it that cute brown boy?
>they'd lose money
You think the anime makes money in the first place?
The second part is conjecture but there was a like 2 episode thing where they go to a parallel universe where guzzlord killed everything and then next week's episode is "Guzzlord Invasion! The great Z-Move Battle!!"
>made her a nigress instead of a Latina
You lost me
Everything these days is just a glorified advertisement for merch.
Except video games, somehow they're the only form of media that directly siphons money from their consumers.
All the merch is primarily the pokemon. Not being ash wouldn't dent those sales and the character design is already there as the protagonists.
Ash solidifies the merch as a constant figure. You can't have pikachu without Ash, and you can't abandon pikachu, it wouldn't be right and would slowly kill the franchise.
I don't know how much the anime gets from the literal 10 year olds but I don't think anyone but them actually cares about him, and even then you could probably just have him be part of the party, it's not like any of the other members have much more prominence over him.
in terms of stuff that actually happens/gets done in an episode, i mean
where can i watch it live?
Real talk; if they get rid of Ash the anime is kill.
He's the pokemon anime and the pokemon anime is a way of advertise the brand, if not the best way.
YO WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?
>even then you could probably just have him be part of the party
This is as far as you can take it without damaging the franchise, and even then you can't directly say he's a side character now.
> I don't think anyone but them actually cares about him
The average consumer is retarded and has very strange patterns, even if they don't watch the anime or play the games this will effect their purchasing potential. Ash is sort of like the royal blood of pokemon, if he goes then Pokemon loses some legitimacy, and it's not like he has any brothers or children he can pass things off to.
I disagree. There will be backlash, but all the backlash will come from people who haven't watched the anime since like the johto or hoenn seasons and had no plans to ever watch the show ever again. There'll be a mass of like 25-35 year olds raising hell for a show they haven't seen in decades because muh childhood for a few days and then it'll pass.
do children even wach this shit these days? honestly wouldn't be surprised if it was mostly sweaty neckbeards clinging on to their childhood.
And then the anime will lose the only thing it makes it recognizable while the newer characters won't catch on. Unless the writers came up with good shit, and we all know that's not happening.
Little kiddies and adults who grew up watching this series do.
Someone aptly put it before: There's honestly no difference between the MLP fandom and Pokemon
Gladion
Well, I watched the entirety of X/Y. It was great until only Ash losing the league.
Ironically SuMo has the best animation of any Pokemon series. It's just that the art style is gay.
>the anime will lose the only thing it makes it recognizable
It still has fucking pokemon, the most recognizable fuckers ever to grace this planet.
>The best moment for it was at Kalos
Not with asspull frog and a team full of jobbers carried by Pikachu.
i think Jojo help to lift up that stigma, and allowed people to give new gen a chance
but they gain nothing by making a less recognizable pokemon their flagship mascot.
>It still has fucking pokemon
Hardly enough to keep anything afloat by its own.
Now we just need Ash to fuck, have a child, and probably die.
Jojo can get away with it because each new Jojo is a new literally a new generation of people rather than just an MC swap. That and it's still largely a passion project headed by someone who cares that doesn't give much of a fuck what a board of suits says
how's that pokemon movie with red? did people want more of it?
JoJo is completely different; it comes from manga and has its niche audience. Pokemon doesn't, it's audience doesn'tt carry over. Anime audience only gets alienated and hardly see TGCfags watching the series because of it.
The important thing being; JoJo is actually good and consistent.
I don't think there was ever a movie but there was a very short series about him that was nice enough but nothing special.
wtf are you talking about
Must be the Generation thing from a few years ago.
>tfw my brother was a huge mistyfag but accepted that if Ash was gonna end up with Serena once X&Y's league was over and he won
>Frog-kun jobs for no reason despite having a huge type advantage and Pikachu putting in work with mega charizard
at least I got 20 bucks off him
they did
youtube.com
it was fun, X and Y era was filled with so much promise
At first, yeah. Then ppl realized it was overrated as fuck and it was a massive Charizard wank.
>it was a massive Charizard wank
>Trailer literally said it was going to start from Red and Blue
what the fuck were you expecting?
Of course it was. Charizard was in the fucking cover for Pokémon Red
Pokemon audience doesn't carry over either, it's just the younger children watching the newer show.
Majority of Reds Pokemon jobbed, so Charizard can look like a badass.
And they don't care in general. Take Ash out and you're gone, that's why he's important for better or worse. Try to replace him and you'll fail since your audience don't care and won't have anything that remotely stands out.
The clever thing to do is making a spin off of sorts.
Ash wins a league = anime ends
Was and is basically their thought process.
If you mean origins, gym leaders and E4 were nerfed. Ashnime version Gyms and E4 are stronger.
Pokemon master != winning a league
Yeah because he was the fucking starter, the slant eye jew was trying capitalize on nostalgia
so jake 26 year old can feel something seeing that Charizard beat the shit out of a something
becoming the best = end of character "growth"
was and is their basic thought process
Did that mosquito just eat a snorlax? What the fuck
yeah but they mean best overall, gotta chart every region before that which is basically never
>Actually Implying anyone on the Pokémon anime team could ever match Araki's writing or David Production's talent
Nice jojoke, user.
I see Japan is already indoctrinating the youth the glories of NTR.
If Ash loses to the masked royal does he get HOWEVER'd out of thr champion title?
Ash and friends restored the Snorlax
>tripfag is a cuck
What a surprise.
nigga what, did you just read summaries
>XY Ash as dumb as BW Ash
Ahahahaha no, don't worry SMfag people in twitter will "praise" your shit
Wtf?
>he thinks shonenfags came in XY
>he thinks shonen is a genre
lol no, more like bandwagoning fags who came by the drivel during the league time
it's an exhibition match
Even moreso because there's still retards who think the Guzzlord in the games was was responsible for the total planetary environmental collapse, even though an NPC tells you it was because of a power plant accident and Guzzlord is innocent, just one of the last remnants of a dying species, left all alone on a broken world.
And now the anime actually makes it's version responsible for destroying Hau Oli.
Poor bastard can't catch a break.
ash wins the championship but gary sprouts out of the ground and shoots him with a glock
Alan
it's not the first time the anime badly translated plot elements from the games. Just the fact that you don't need to do the trials to fight in the alolan league already shows how much the writing declined.
This post is inb4 history repeats itself.
>Ash wins the single most no-stakes non-quality league after being cukced from the greatest possible victory in the Kalos League
It's not even a win at this point.
>after being cukced from the greatest possible victory in the Kalos League
man i love how salty the shonenshits are over this
Maybe they though that it's a homage on the Indigo Plateau where Squritle lost because it fell asleep. Now Rowlet fell asleep buit instead oif losing he turned it around in the end and won.
/vp/s anime thread usually has a stream up when the episode airs.
not even salty;
Just disappointed
>Yeah we kinda ruined the hype with executive meddling but here you can have this league full of literal nobodies and zero interesting fights. That counts for something right?
>but here you can have this league full of literal nobodies
and yet XY had...?
>one of my favorite mons got to star in it
I still weep.
Sauce on pic?
>virgin Raikou appears in a TV special
>Both the CHAD Entei and Suicune get their own movies
>tfw raikou will never be OU again
it hurts lads, i miss the glorydays of gen 3
I don't even have a huge issue with that though, it's that they deliberately went out of their way to confuse people who already didn't understand something that had been plopped right on their face. The other UBs, particularly Celesteela, were handled fine. The anime handled Nihilego's mutant fusion better than the actual fucking game did, since they fought Lusamine herself as the beast hybrid. Even stranger because anime Lusy is a super nice person and was only there because she got kidnapped and tentacled.
Are the cute little girls in the alola part of the show as good as they were in the game?
people that were at least working toward the league the whole season.
Here the league isn't even a goal it's literally just
>Hey her's a league we just made! Come fight! Or don't we don't really care.
There is zero investment from the plot so why should the audience be invested? It's not even about being Shonen it's just bad writing.
There's more of them than in the games because it makes some generic NPCs into actual characters with proper unique designs, like Lana's little sisters.
that's pretty much how it goes in the games
>Hey I did the trials
>Cool we're doing this thing now too, wanna do it?
Clearly Bulbasaur, you buffoon.
>Ashnime
LESS THAN 10MINUTES
the anime only works in extremes, last season Alain's Charizard was ridiculously overpowered fighting against multiple megas and E4 pokemon, now the league has a Magikarp in it (not that animekarp is weak or anything)
I remember being hyped for XY ending with vp and getting cucked out of winning the league and serena leaving. Never again
Well good news cause there's zero hype this time around
>Ash retiring
It's not even been a fucking year in universe since he started his career.
Why the fuck wasn't he allowed to Age, if goku can age at a high rate I don't see why they couldn't let Ash age a year or so per region.
that was the best part though, watching /vp/ have an aneurysm was great
Sadly no one cares this time so maybe 10 threads at best before it goes back to the hellish inferno of fake leaks and SnS arguing
Orange League isn't from the games, and wasn't a huge multi-tiered tournament. It's boring and the animation was bad.
Well, did he win yet?
the episode is starting
Every anime season you get hyped and every year the result is the same.
I got my laughing reactions ready for you ashkeks
It's been 20 minutes. Fucking end it already.
he won
So did he win?
>struggles to even stand up
>spends a ton of energy breaking through obstacles immediately after
>eats a counter head on
>has the strength to survive and counter the counter
what a hollow victory
>tune in for first time
>ash declared winner 10 seconds later
well that was kinda surreal
HE WON
>Entire season is comfy sol
>Fag cat never even gets a chance to show up outside of kakui's
>Ash wins the tournament
11/10 season, confirmed best
rip the true champ
This actually just makes me angrier because it means there was LITERALLY NO REASON he couldn't win Kalos. They did it LITERALLY just to fuck with us.
Too little, too late.
He did it. It's finally over bros. I can't believe I lived long enough to see it really happening. Finally the Ashnime can end.
good, fuck off shonenspic
Shit battle
More reused animation than dragon ball
>11/10 season
>Pokemon
Lol no
i mean as far as pokemon goes, but it was certainly enjoyable at times
These characters are so fucking ugly that I can't even tell which one is Ash.
Is he the guy on the left?
Finally. And good riddance. Let's see if they're gonna keep their word that the anime will end when Ash wins.
>he actually did it after two fucking decades
>Make a "good" season
>People shit on it because he doesn't win the league
>Make an actually good season and have him win the league to boot
>People get angry
Ash already won once. It's just that is was a shitty unofficial league that nobody cared about. Just like this.
Alola league is a real league in the games and in the narrative, but cope more
Name 1 thing from this season that was better than the Espurr episode in XY&Z.
IT'S
NOT
OFFICIAL
>parody/deconstruction of the original Yugioh and card game anime in general
it's ok, i know it hurts.
Just give in.
Embrace it.
My husband.
>Make a season that focuses on Ash improving as a trainer so that he can ultimately overcome his season-long rivals and win the Kalos League
>people shit on it because he doesn't win due to executive Meddling
>Make a zero-stakes slice of life season and then just shove the league in as an aside right at the end with zero build up or motivation
>people get angry because instead of an actually hype final match like Ash vs Alan, they give Ash a pity win after an utterly boring final match with Gladion
IIRC the first movie was supposed to end with Misty and Ash marrying and they have a daughter, but that's just a rumour because of this weird trailer:
youtube.com
League has been built up for some time dude, not sure why you feel the need to lie.
But Ash still has the trophy in BW
Sounds like seethe to me
>didn't even check if his opponent was just sleeping instead of knocked out
fucking biased judges, we all know who should have won
SEETHING x/y babies
stopped watching in gen 3 btw never looked back until s/m
show is a comedy first and foremost
>>Make a zero-stakes slice of life season and then just shove the league in as an aside right at the end with zero build up or motivation
yea, did you even play SM?
ALOLA LEAGUE CHAMPION, ASH KETCHUM OF PALLET TOWN
SM looks and feels like garbage.
I hope Gladion takes his loss well.
God they really love to use the blurs for no reason sometimes. It's like its some sort of self fellatio the animators like to do so retards call it "sakuga".
Why did you watch the anime to begin with?
/ourguy/
How old is he anyway?
He was running around the world for many years, he is probably closer to mid 20 or something. People finish their studies around that time, some have families and so on. Misty probably gave birth to her first child.
And what he did? Wandered around the world, homeless and absolutely bad at everything. His mom sure is proud.
I really like this artist.
They're a pretty shit artist but I enjoy the fetish
10
They're acceptable enough, I've seen far, far worse in my fetish treks.
So we're never going to see Ash's retarded face ever again, right?
>It's boring and the animation was bad.
From what I've seen, the same applies to the SM league.
equally as stupid as motion blur and chromatic aberration
Nah you're a pretty shit person
He was 10 like 20 years ago for fuck sake.
Poke kids don't age or what? That would explain extremely small populations...
Well Yea Forums it took over 2 decades but it finally happened. How you fell about his victory?
So what happens to Ash now? Is he going to be canned?
nope you'll see him in Galar
He's going to be in Galar, as the rival
Season 1 Ash has been dead for like 15 years brah. Nu-Ash is just a generic shonen protag, and mindless mascot there to peddle merchandize.
Convince me to watch this season and I'll tell you.
He return home, catch his mom in affair with Oak, start drinking and will die as jobless and ultimately homeless as well.
He gets back together with his gf.
Could not give less of a shit about ash rubbing pokemon against each other and never have, there were a few interesting fights in the early years but when it just became a shonen fight via pokemon I lost all interest.
I actually loved the season as a whole though, I kind of dropped off around mid gen 3 but started up again around XY and thought it was pretty bland. Really enjoyed this one though.
>new series is a reboot that takes from multiple games rather than primarily being based on Galar
>yfw even the biggest merchandising tie-in from the games is an acknowledgement of what a tremendous fucking misstep it was for Game Freak to kill the Dex the way they are for Sword and Shield
Threadly reminder that this doesn't fookin slip
KANTOOOOO
Champion League in Galar is most likely.
Isn't S/M an alternate universe?
it's an odd feel.
>Yea Forums is having a civil discussion while /vp/ is in meltdown
what is going on
the journey was tough, but we made it in the end. we made friends, we achieved many battles, we conquered great challenges. but we all did it together, we can now move to the horizon on the next chapter of our lives. love you guys.
