Hey guys, 3 more weeks until the Valerie dub.

...But that's three weeks away. Nothing else to contribute?

 

Back to the here and now, just like last year's movie, there'll be a pre-screening for the Hoopa movie tomorrow in Tokyo and Osaka. Which means the lucky people who'll attend the pre-screening can get a Hoopa and I suspect it won't be long before people clone it and trade it online.

 

British Soul: Hey look, who cares?

I dunno, but I suspect there's a mirror involved.

I stopped watching Pokemon at Black and White... when I could predict the whole episode after watching the first three minutes, up till then, I had watched every episode (except the Porygon episode).  Now, seeing and hearing the X and Y theme, I'm gonna give Pokemon a chance to surprise me again.  If they screw up X and Y (because the themes are so similar and theme characters remind me of past seasons, I mean, the theme even has Onix) I'm gonna be so mad... I'll break something.

If you've looked through this thread, the general agreement is that XY is actually quite good and that BW was pretty weak. Hopefully you'll enjoy it, but regardless, always interested to see a dissenting opinion.

This comes as a surprise to like noone.

The trailer for the 2016 movie (that was shown after the movie shown at the pre-screening yesterday) is set to feature Zygarde. Although Serebii is labelling this info as unconfirmed for the moment because the info comes from second hand reports or something.

Yeah, it'd help if they labeled it SS035 or whatever order this episode featured for specials; and not get it confused with the actual 78.

Speaking of which, I haven't checked yet, but is that one subbed yet (the Poke Factory one)?

 

 

I don't think so. Hell, the place I use doesn't even have a raw up for the contest episode. So tilting how slow the subs come out. So much anime gets legally streamed, just do the same for pokemon. Bah.

 

 

I was aware of the subs for the Pikachu special, but yeah it is kinda confusing having it being labelled episode 78.

I probs won't watch it though.

 

Meanwhile... filler episode ahoy!

 

 

At least they are taking advantage of the in game world. I'd rather see the Lost Hotel get a filler ep than some random place.

True. Although I did mention last week about the Lost Hotel being featured in an episode because of the Rotom in the trash.

 

 

Which for me is just a neat little thing. I really enjoy seeing stuff from the games show up in the anime.

 

 

And again, Ash and co. alter the present timeline.

 

But two weeks until the Gourgeist episode? Is there anything happening on July 16th I should know about?

 

Movie comes out on the 18th so my guess is that is the cause.  I'm fine with it since, again, the subs are so far behind having a week without an episode will help them catch up.

Diancie Movie, so no not really.

Movie comes out on the 18th so my guess is that is the cause.

Also the Thursday before, they repeat the previous movie in place of the usual episode.

As do I.

369x200xCoroCoro-New-Pokemon-Silhouette-

 

So CoroCoro has revealed screenshots from the teaser trailer for the 2016 movie. The screenshots appear to show a new Pokemon, though it is silhouetted (of course).

We still need Zygarde and Volcanion in a film, and Zygarde is likely getting featured next because of Pokedex number, so this new Pokemon could just be a new forme of Zygarde. Thousand Arrows and Thousand Waves, two moves programmed into X and Y, are expected to be the signature moves of Zygarde’s new forme(s).

The text over the silhouette asks, “Is this a new Pokemon?” Since we don’t consider Giratina Origin Forme or Black and White Kyurem new Pokemon, the implication behind this question seems obvious. (Why question if it’s a new Pokemon, especially when its design doesn’t match any existing Pokemon? Because it’s probably not a new Pokemon, as would be the logical conclusion. It’s a forme.)

 

I also think it's a new Zygarde forme.

I wouldn't think so.

 

And in case anyone cares, my battle team for Valerie's Gym:

 

Skorupi: Level 36. Bug Bite, Poison Fang, Venoshock, Hone Claws

Nidoking: Level 40. Poison Jab Shadow Claw, Dig, Double Kick

Event Torchic: Level 38. Slash, Peck, Focus Energy, Ember

Female Pyroar: Level 38. Flamethrower, Noble Roar, Fire Fang, Work Up

Honedge: Level 42. Shadow Claw, Iron Head, Aerial Ace, Autotomize

Lucario: Level 36. Power-Up Punch, Swords Dance, Metal Sound, Bone Rush

 

I decided to go with two poison types, two fire types and two steel types.

 

What do you guys think of this team?

Unless they are introducing Volcanion by showing off his alt form (we know that looks nothing like his normal one) I'd say its pretty likely to be Zygarde's alt.

I also say it's more likely to be Zygarde's alt because imo it's a bit early to show anything about Volcanion, even if it's a silhouette.

At this point, this is all speculation.
