Pokemon XY&Z


Recommended Posts

[spoiler=Stuff]

As much as I wanted Citron/Clemont to get Tyrantrum in this episode, indeed I probably wouldn't have guessed it was used for research projects and couldn't be caught.

Guess would've been that it had family to go back to, which is somewhat true.

 

 

 

In terms of the voice change, only slight differences, but otherwise I'm not really bothered.

 

--------

As for the anime change, probably will be after Ash beats Olympia.

(Oddly enough, Agro posted the same thing about Zygarde in the OR/AS thread)

 

Iffy on the forms too, but that might explain a lot of things X/Y doesn't have released in-game.

I saw his post. I figured since the new info also pertained to the anime it should also be posted here.

 

Good to hear the new VA sounds good.

Yeah, having a full evolved team will be good for Ash.

Last generation, part of his team was still Stage 1 Pokes, which wasn't impressive at all.

 

----

Still waiting until the Eevee episode airs.

 

That ones of the issues I have when I look at Gen 5. In 3 and 4 most of Ash's pokemon were evolving. Again, 24/39 of all his pokemon are (or will be) fully evolved. He got 9 in Gen 5 and only 3 were fully evolved by the end.

 

Its in 2 weeks. I feel like that is when the main story of the show will start picking up again. I've enjoyed the break though since I do really like just watching the characters and the pokemon do stuff some times. Though we certainly are nearing the upper limit of how much more filler I can take.

 

Even in Sinnoh he had pokemon in their base forms (Buizel and Gible), though at least Buizel pulled his weight somewhat. I'm also glad that Ash will have a fully evolved roster (atm) this time.

I don't mind Gible since he got it really late in his journey. And thats still only 2 of his 6 pokemon from that series. Not all his pokemon being fully evolved is fine. Its when they have too many that I begin to take issue. Again, Gen 5.

Yeah, Gible is forgiveable, but one of my gripes with Best Wishes was that they wanted Ash to have a rotating team like Paul did in Sinnoh and I think that was an issue since not a lot of his pokemon fully evolved in that series.

 

EDIT: Now that we got a closer look at the poster for XY & Z (albeit a larger pic exists), the pokemon inbetween Noivern and Greninja is Mega Sceptile, so chances are Ash will bring back his Sceptile or something.

Weird. I'd imagine the first mon Ash would Mega Evolve to be Charizard, given they share the closest bond after him and Pikachu, not to mention all the M-Zard Y + Pikachu merchandise released in Japan and conspicuous lack of M-Zard Y representation in animated media. I still think it's bound to happen one day, but it kinda makes sense that Ash would bring back Sceptile, because ORAS and he still doesn't have a Grass-type on his team.

Also, could it be that Zygarde Core is sticking with the twerps for the duration of the Z Saga? I'd like to see how its relationship with them, specially Bonnie, is going to develop and come into play at the plot. It's also the first time the anime will feature an arc dedicated to the mascot of a 3rd version; took them too long, TBH.

Zygarde Core sticking with group for this saga (if it happens ofc) reminds me of the first part of Best Wishes Season 2 when Meloetta was with the group and served a purpose to the plot regarding Operation Tempest (or "Operation Let's reuse scenes from the banned episodes").

Also regarding Sceptile, it is one of Ash's stronger pokemon seeing as it was the only pokemon to defeat Darkrai in the Sinnoh League, and yeah as you said Pchi, it does kinda makes sense for it to return for the reasons that you stated.

 

Ofc there is one thing we haven't mentioned and now we wait for a certain someone to come here and gloat about it.

Might have something to do with my love for Charizard and my wanting him to come back, but I'm going to call the Sceptile for the Mega Evo Special since even if Ash gets a Mega Stone I don't see it happening for a WHILE.

That would be interesting. It would also answer my question of what is the anime going to do with the extra year. I've said it before, at the rate they are going they would be done with the league in a years time and Gen 7 isn't likely to start until the year after next so they need something to fill that time. I am a little worried it will slow things down a lot like what happen in DP where a year past between badges 7 and 8 though. I mean, when you look at that gap it had a lot of arcs so its not like it was "filler" but I'd rather this kind of story happen after the league is done.

I was chatting to my friend about the poster earlier today and he said "What if Ash got a key stone in the episode airing on October 15th. (the title of which was revealed yesterday)" As plausible as it sounded given the episode involved the Sundial which was relevant in X&Y, I kinda had to debunk it.

But yeah, even if he did get one, it wouldn't be for a while. Ofc there is the fact that Ash isn't seen with a Mega Ring on the poster so chances are it's likely that the Sceptile could be someone else's. I mean I would rather Ash have that return over Charizard purely so that there isn't any type redundancies on his team. (w/ Talonflame)

 

Another thing we were chatting about, albeit joking about because of how stupid it sounded;

"PLOT TWIST: Ash Greninja is really Ash who got transformed into a Greninja by the same woman who turned him into Pikachu in Johto."

Yea, Ash not having a Key Stone in the image is a decent sign he won't be getting one for a while. I wouldn't mind Sceptile, it honestly is one of Ash's strongest pokemon, but Charizard is just super iconic and I'd say one of the top 5 fan favorite pokemon. Also, a fit between Mega Zards would be awesome.

 

See, my brain went to a similar place with the Greninja, but that would be dumb. I think thats the biggest question mark for a lot of people. What exactly is the Ash Greninja and how is it different from normal, if it even is.

There's no denying that Charizard is iconic, but a little bit of diversity wouldn't go a miss either. And yeah a fight between Mega Charizards would be cool.

Of course the lack of mega ring in the poster is pretty much the reason why I debunked what my friend said.

I did say we joked about it because it did sound dumb. Of course we won't find out what makes the Ash Greninja special for awhile anyway.

Clearly Ash is trying to be a Flying Type specialist.

 

I know, but I'd imagine a bunch of people at least had the though cross their mind.

 

One of the weird things about having the poster is that we'll know a bunch of things are coming even though I don't think they will happen in the anime for a while. Like, I don't see Ash getting Noivern until next year so I wonder how long until other elements from the poster come into the show.

Sky Trainer Ash confirmed as a trainer in the next game.

I'm not denying that.

I don't see Noibat evolving for a while either, in fact I can even see Frogadier evolving sooner than that (maybe by the end of the year).

That being said, I remember when the Best Wishes Episode N arc poster came to light, Charizard didn't return to Ash's roster until like 3 months later. (The poster was revealed in December 2012, Charizard returned in March 2013)

Agree on Frogadier.

 

That Charizard info is nice to have since it gives us some timeline for when to expect stuff.
