there we go, thanks joe!
I enjoyed XY quite a bit, having to follow up the wonderful Gen V was a bit rough, but at least the battle system is better than ever.
I didn't care much for ORAS, but I expected that since it's a remake of Gen III. Still, I've spent more time on this than XY because it's the best game for breading right now.
I'm looking forward to Z, or whatever it'll be. I'm hoping they do a bit more with it than the typical third game like they did with BW2. If not then at least there will be new megas.

So these are the VAs for team flare female scientists
Akane Fujita: Bryony
Rinko Natsuhi: Aliana
Karin Nanami: Celosia
Sayuri Hara: Mable
two of them are lead VAs for three different idol anime shows, heh
Akane Fujita voices Akane from Aikatsu and Sayuri Hara voices Mio Honda from IDOLM@STER
we really are embracing PokeIdol
EDIT: damn, so many Akane, this Akane is a side character, not the lead Akane
EDIT2: This is just so damning
Man what were they thinking with Johto
Let's have new types... but make most of them available post game!
Except for steel... oh wait let's limit it to trade except for that Magnemite fella!
Oh there's this Ghost gym leader huh? Oh nah, we won't make him use Misdreavous but we give him two Gastly!
Yeah let's give Janine two Magneton instead of Skarmory!
and all other distribution shit

Oh god, I just noticed that if you press the round icon beside thread titles, you get redirected to the latest post... That would have been useful to know in the beginning... -.-
Anyways, I really don't like Tierno. Sharna is also the worse rival to Serena.
Trevor is cool though.

So when will Serena face off against the Team Flare girls in an idol contest?
yeah, it's quite a mess, all the cool stuff was basically unavailable for the first half of the game
even worse when you had some things like Misdreavous and Sneseal literally only available in the last dungeon in the game

Trevor is cool though.
they are infinitely more enjoyable than their in-game counterparts though so that's a plus

HOLY FUCKING SHIT
BEST GYM FIGHT EVER, BEST OF THE SERIES I'D ARGUE
And before anything else, Sycamore showed the Pokedex Z (the hoenn thing) and gave them to Serena and Ash. In this case, the dex is for Mega Evolution data.
no next ep preview, instead we get an extended XYZ/ME4 trailer
Anyway I think I'm sober from the ep hype, so this was Ash's idea
People thought it was Ash using Pikachu's tail as a metronome. Well yeah, he uses it twice, first when Future Sight was initiated, and second when he goes for the kill. His actual plan is

And that wasn't even the hypest part of the ep.

count the Future Sight's length via metronome, then during the really well-executed tagteam of Frogadier and Talonflame (a frog riding a bird), they held onto each of the cats, then when it was the time for Future Sight to appear, they hurled them towards the attack
And that wasn't even the hypest part of the ep.

I said this a while back but I have a feeling that Shigeki Morimoto (Emerald/HGSS director) is directing the next main game since he was completely absent from the ORAS credits (as well as Tembo's) and he's usually the battle director for the main series. With that possibility along with the extra development time, it'll be interesting how the new game(s) will be received seeing as some people were disappointed with ORAS.

Mind if I ask where do y ou go to watch the newest episode?
If it's twitch can you tell me the name of the channel? I just put twitch on my PS4 and I'm tired of relying on Youtube for the latest episodes.
Boss Doggie

I'll pm
Can I also get a PM? My usual site didn't upload the raw version yet...
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
well it's more of a livestream than an actual stream of the raw
Just watched it now, was a really good gym battle. They even balanced the hits a lot better than they do in most double battles. Best Kalos gym I would agree with. Hope the last is just as good if not better.
Picture of the next gym was shown to be Snowbelle. Was honestly hoping for that to be changed to a different type despite really liking ice types.

Just saw the episode and liked it. Only complaint is when
other than that Ash was smart to turn the tables on her the way he did.
Also can anyone tell me what professor sycamore and the gym leader were talking about after the battle?
Put it in spoiler tags.
Talon flame did that flame shield thing and Frogadier didn't sustain any minor damage.

The new episode of Gintama ruined the opening song for XY&Z for me though.

Hm so XY&Z
OP will be sung by Rica Matsumoto, title is XY&Z
ED details got leaked and apparently will be sung by Little Glee Monsters (4th ED of XY, Gao Gao All Stars, a.k.a. the recent ED) with the song written by singer/composer Tomohisa Sako (in Pokemon he did Getta BanBan and Kirakira which is Clemont's song and have been inserted in a few eps)
While I'm kinda meh on LGM if Sako's writing the song then the quality should be good. Sako even got promoted as Character Song Director apparently.
EDIT:
Oh yeah here's the extended XYZ trailer from ep 93. You can hear most of the opening theme!
Also Lysandre says "The power of Z is quite fearsome" or something like that I think.
EDIT2:
if people are still doubting, Mega Sceptile isn't Ash's. In fact there's Greninja-Ash vs Mega Sceptile (Shota's).

I'm still betting Ash's Greninja is a Mega-type thing, whether it's actually called a Mega or not, which takes the visual characteristics of the trainer.
Looking forward to Pangoro Hat Greninja.

It seems like a Pokemon-amie thing. Even the Olympia fight has shades of that.
If that is the case, it'll be such a pain in the arse to catalogue.

Just to get my hype on check, what percentage are we expecting a Z announcement tonight?
And we expect it to be out before spring of next year or so?

There are also slight changes dependent on TID. Have fun!
Watched the Olympia gym battle, eh it was kinda meh then again that what having two Meowstic on your roster does.
Same, for me to really leave the series Game Freak would have to release a game that is buggy, broken and impossible to finish... So never.
Anyway I enjoyed the early part of X and Y right up to the Korrina gym fight, my enjoyment only began to drop when I was force to do the stupid Mega Lucario tutorial when I did not want to use any Mega at all.
Plus it was after that point when they made the route shorter and you ended up fighting Gym Leaders after Gym Leaders before doing the compressed Team Flare plot and don't get me started how Diantha is the worse champion ever.
So yeah I loved the early gameplay but didn't like everything else after Korrina gym fight.
What data? Megas don't have a Pokédex entry, so good luck using that.
Even though i was disappointed in XY and ORAS, I am still hyped for Z. That's what Pokemon does to me. I just can not be not hyped when a new Mainline Game is about to be announced

well of course not, your outdated Pokedexs couldn't show information about megas
that's why we have Pokedex Z's now
If Game Freak thinks that giving Mega Pokédex entry will get me to accept that Megas are new Pokémon than form change then they can think again.
I will never accept them as new Pokémon.
Why not?
They have unique designs, with explanations of them.
They came up with backstories about them (as seen on official sites)
They were crafted carefully for balance for both stats and abilities (though Parental Bond needs nerfing)
They considered new moves in the Pokémon's movepool for the specific Mega Evolution e.g. Misty Terrain for Audino, High Jump Kick for Lopunny etc.
Aside from no name change and no number, and their special evolution mechanic, they are essentially new Pokémon.
Even official material classes them as new Pokémon

Why are we seriously arguing with him about Megas again?

I feel like another RBY remake would be pretty stale unless they do something like make all of Johto playable after the elite 4.
