Good god this amourshipping needs to end.

I'm not a shipper but the writers will feel massive wrath from Japan if they just drop Serena like that. They are really dangerous like that, either you resolve that shit or do an end.

They are going to get rid of her like they did with Misty, by making her have another responsibility and having to choose that instead of following the booty.
 
If we get Ash winning this league I can win with the Serena ship ending, one or the other though winning the league > ship since Ash needs to make up for being robbed against the dues ex machina from sinnoh
 
Isn't it a pretty consistent trend that the anime doesn't switch to the new region until a few months after the new games are out? If that's the case, then that would point toward Ash being able to face the E4 since I doubt the Team Flare interruption will take very long.

Edit: seems like my memory was hazy, or I was thinking of the US anime air dates, but the XY anime came out very close to the games.

new region and anime comes out in Japan the moment the new games start

the only anomaly really is Johto

Also adding here. Considering how Ash still haven't visited Killoude City, i can still see many times to further story in Kalos.^_^

Actually, i would love to watch Alola arc with Serena have confessed to Ash here and now we are watching the story progress as they are couple lol. It will be huge shift in story but it sure is much more interesting vs gym only.^_^
 
Yeah, I think I was thinking of the US anime air dates. Well then, that doesn;t leave a whole lot of time for Ash to challenge the E4, especially with team flare intervening. If he does get there, I'm going to assume he losses on the first or second one.
 
Where can I find this? I haven't watched Pokemon in ages. Is it on Hulu? I wanna see Ash finally win something. Haha.

If you're looking for the English dub, it gets uploaded to Netflix. Unfortunately they put it up by season, so even compared to the English premiers it's a bit behind.

If you're looking at subs, I can't help you, since I don't follow those.

Yep hell there isn't going to be an update for Dubs until September if I remember right.
 
Begging pokemon company to keep Serena like..

...is this actually from the anime?
 
Best Episode WUkyaaaaaa.^_^



There is more sense for Serena to go to Alola with ASH rather than Brock going with Ash for four long season.T_T

I'm sorry to disappoint you but:
1. Her dream is to become Kalos Queen
2. We already know her plans after the Pokemon League
 
The second they give the partners a goal to achieve means the writers have an out. She can go "I'll become queen and then confess to ash" and then you never see her again because nobody grows up lmao

Serena hates being burden with a single responsibility though. And who said she can't go to Alola to get more experience and becoming the Queen over there?^_^

She also had the goal of becoming Ash waifu.^_^

Isn't there a big focus on dance in Sun and Moon?

Serena dances.

My man.^^
 
Everyone posts this and talk about shipping when the same episode but no one mentioned an awesome headbanging Pikachu.

Modern anime truly is all about the waifus.

Lol. Rock Pikachu is also one of the great thing we got here from the anime lol.^_^

I wasn't really down with the anime once they changed VA's after dropping 4Kids but after hearing so many good things about this season/region and watching this episode I might start watching.

Dude go back a couple pages I got yah.

That was a really good semi-filler episode. It gave proof to Serena's growth as a trainer. Jimmy said it himself. Too bad we never got a proper battle between him and Ash. Would've been awesome if he would be at the Pokemon league cheering Ash on.

This season had been great for sure. It had all bits of thingy.^_^

U get some shipping. Ash being more competent, clemont and her sister is entertaining, great music and absolutely great animation.^_^

This is the one of the best season for Pokemon fans.^_^
 
I won't lie, having a trainer be salty about not getting the badges in time and trying to beat Ash to prove he's good enough was an actually good sub-plot. Nice use of the setting.
 
So do no fansub groups sub this?

PM is the subgroup you're looking for, google Pocket Monsters subs

I won't lie, having a trainer be salty about not getting the badges in time and trying to beat Ash to prove he's good enough was an actually good sub-plot. Nice use of the setting.

And not only that, it is where he makes this promise to win for all of those trainers who didn't manage to get all of the badges. Basically it is a reaffirmation of his convictions.
 
So when can we expect an episode dedicated to Articuno? We've had one for Moltres and Zapdos, both of which involved one of Ash's Pokemon evolving. I hope it doesn't get snubbed.
 
The episode with Serena imitating Ash was really fun. Wasn't expecting the moshing Pikachu, that was brilliant.

I always prefer how the non-Ash Pikachus are voiced. And having Dig as a move was too cool.
 
Never really understood people wanting Misty and Brock back other then for nostalgic reasons. I don't know what show you guys watched, but the show that I watched, neither of them did anything of value. It took Brock 4 regions to actually get a proper goal. What was Misty's goal? I dunno.

At least May, Dawn and Serena did things. They had actual goals and character development. Misty was an absolute waste of space, and she should never come to the show as a main character. I will give Misty some credit though. At least she isn't Iris.

I wouldn't mind if Ash began traveling with two female companions this time around. It would suck if they went back to: Ash + new guy + new girl. Need to mix it up, and instead do Ash + new girl + Serena. Could make for an interesting dynamic.
 
So more episode summaries, mostly the same, but they keep repeating the "Alain, who has always won against Ash" blurb.

Is it a sign of Ash finally winning?!
 
Currently in episode 39 of XY, I don't like Serena very much, i still prefer May or Dawn. I also watched every Mega specials, I really like Alain and hope he eins the league.

I'm not sure what you don't like about Serena, but wait tell episode 60 before full judgment.

Still kinda nonsense how he beat that Furfrou

Ditto, but I don't really like any of the companion girls. I think it would be a lot more interesting if they were actually trainers and won those other badges in those non-game gyms that apparently exist.

These two were amazing. I loved it when Spiky pikachu got dizzy after headbanging for too long. The dub for this episode was pretty great too.

Such a giffable episode. Gonna discuss a few earlier episodes first before diving into this one.

And speaking of waifus this season has some amazing character designs. Some of the background characters during the showcases could be leads in most anime. Shaunas dub VA is the best.
