On another note, anyone think it's weird that XY087 does not have a dub title or an air date in the states?

From watching the episode subbed, I noted there was no questionable content in the episode, so chances are they forgot to announce it.

 

I wonder they made Gen VI mons' stats generally lacklustre compared to previous gens...

I know right especially since except from Diancie, no Gen 6 mon got a Mega.

My guess was that because (almost) all of them would eventually get a Mega with particularly good stat distribution, typing and ability this gen, but we'll have to wait for Z to find out...

I can defo see some Gen 6 pokemon getting a Mega at some point. Hopefully by Z they also agree on a design for Mega Flygon too.

 

In other news, the subs for 90 are out.

I'm content with Gen 6 not really getting Megas. I mean 5 has 1 as well. For the most part Megas are mechanically doing what the Gen 4 evolutions did for a lot of old pokemon, bringing them back to relevance. Since Gen 6 was made with this mind it isn't as needed for these pokemon. I mean, 2 of them have been kicked to ubers and another is a major player in OU.

 

 

About time. I mean its been what, 3 weeks since it aired. That just seems like a bit too much. Since they seem to alternate between fast and slow releases hopefully 91 will be out in a more timely fashion. I'll check the episode out in the AM though. Kind of late.

To be fair, I was on about some of the mediocre Gen 6 mons, but I'm sure you can agree that hopefully they can agree on a design for Mega Flygon when the next game comes out.

Actually, it's only been a week and a half. 90 aired on the 8th.

Every gen is going to have mediocre mons, but I could see some getting mega. Flygon would be cool though.

 

 

Remember most sites have 89 labeled as 90 because the special was counted as an episode. The most recent subbed ep should be the one when the meet up with the dance dude and rival girl. Since then 2 other episodes have aired so its actually more like two and half weeks.

Well, this might not be needed but a Mega hydreigon or Dragonite would be cool as hell.

Also would like some of ash's old pals to come in the new season for 1-2 episodes to kick some ass.

IF any of Ash's old companions were to return, they can't be placed randomly. They'd need a reason for them to return.

I agree, Mega Flygon would be cool if only Game Freak can agree on a design for it. We know they had design block regarding it.

 

Actually, the most recent subbed episode (released yesterday) is the Anistar Showcase episode which was XY090 (Ofc the anime sites listed it as episode 91), I wasn't counting the special episode when I posted that the subs were out in my post yesterday. Does that make sense to you?

Agree that as much as I'd like to see old companions return they need a reason.

 

How strange. The site I used to watch the subs still says they have the RAW for those episodes. Thats what causes the confusion because I was expecting the next subbed episode to be 89 so when you said 90 I assumed you were going off of what the site calls it. Looks like I have two episode to watch instead of one. Also looks like I need to find a better site.

 

 

Also, I'm curious if they will do anything special for episode 96 since that should be the 900th episode of the anime.

I see, you were using a different site to me.

The site that I use is: http://www.animetv.eu/

I use anime here. They have screwed up before and forgotten to change the raw label to subbed, but this would be two in a row. Maybe thats what happened?

 

And that link just tells me they are selling the domain.

Whoops, I meant http://www.animetv.us

 

EDIT (Tuesday): New episode titles

Episode 899: Mega Audino VS Giga Giga Meowth!! (November 12th)

Episode 900: Litleo and Pyroar! A Fiery Departure!! (November 19th)

 

EDIT (Thursday):

[spoiler=Thoughts on XY092]

- Ash unsurprisingly won, yawn. But Olympia sure didn't make it easy, she put up a good fight with her established strategy.

- Pikachu seemed disappointed when Ash went with Talonflame to join Frogadier in the battle, though Pika had a vital role from the sidelines.

- Ash and Serena were given the ORAS pokedexes from Sycamore. Suppose we shouldn't be surprised that we'd see the ORAS dexes at some point in this series.

Interesting, cause her hairstyle is very recognizable.

 

Anyway, 7 badges down, one more to go, but with a sidetrack it will take some time. Reaching episode number 900 here.

 

And maybe as long as Ash and co. have Zygarde Core in their possession, Team Flare can have an infinite number of hostages.

 

But I'm jusdating myself. Kinda makes you wonder if Ash, Alain and Prof. Sycamore can see how much Lysandre is suffering. I mean, that scene before the main event with him in the games was powerful. He's a puppet to a role he does not want to play. My guess is Diantha, Alexis and Blaziken Mask will be there as well.

To be fair, it was the same hair colour, the same can be said for James.

 

As for Diantha and such, I don't think Diantha will be present in this arc, unless it's a cameo towards the end or something. Alexa I don't think she'll appear in the arc either, and yes, in those two instances, I am referring to the games for my (lack of) reasoning. Blaziken Mask is probs the most likely to appear, but I'm not holding my breath at all.

[spoiler=I've Been Gone a Thousand Years]

Been a while since I posted in this thread.

 

Thought the gym battle was really solid and fun. My eyes widened aa LOT when Olympia went on the offensive, that Psyshock was terrifying.

 

Extremely smart idea to time Future Sight by Ash, and turn it back on her Pokemon. Frogadier and Talonflame took a lot of punishment to pull that off. Props to all the gorgeously animated dipping and dodging they were doing.

 

Frogadier took a Thunder Wave for Talonflame, and Ash managed to get a surprise Brave Bird in with Double Team as a screen. By the way, that spinning Steel Wing looked BRUTAL.

 

All in all the gym battles for the entirety of X and Y have been really solid and exciting, and GREAT animation all around.

Well the basic formula must still be followed, maybe an episode of when Wulfric is in Pokemon Village taking care of the pokemon there, and asks Ash and friends for help, and stop Team Rocket, the episode after will be the Gym Battle itself, with standard 3 on 3, or maybe they'll have a 6 on 6. The variety of ice-types, and possibilities are endless. Wulfric's team could be Jynx, Beartic, Cryogonal, Abomasnow, Mamoswine and his signature Avalugg.

 

Or maybe this: Jynx, Delibird, Glalie, Mamoswine, Beartic and Avalugg.

FINALLY catching back up with the anime.

 

Episode 90 continues the adorable. Eevee is just too cute. Also, early bet is it evolving into Jolteon given the cut when it was mentioned.

Episode 91 was cool. The quiz was a weird thing to have but watching the free performance was cool. I also feel bad for Luxray. Clemont's other two pokemon have gotten a TON of spot light of late (Chespin is too good) and its kind of neglected.

 

Also, 92 (actual number 91, i.e.: the intro ep for the 7th gym leader) had just come out when I went to start watching, so yay.

Episode 92 was awesome. The design of the gym was beautiful, Olympia was super intimidating, and learning more about Frogadier's past was cool. Also enjoyed the nod to the Mega Evo specials and Malva's cameo. Also Ash getting excited when he saw how powerful Olympia was. The foreshadowing for the XYZ series also has me super hyped. That was great.

 

Thanks British for the site. The place I used does have the subs for 90 and 91 now, but they are still labeled as raw and there is a nonzero chance I wouldn't have checked to see if they screwed up again.

Yeah, the gym battle was amazing; though I need to watch sub for the sundial episode.

 

At least Olympia isn't speaking in haiku, though she's probably using old style Japanese or something [heard the word "warawa" come out of her, which is used by ancient nobility to mean "I" (see Naruto page on Kaguya), however take it with grain of salt].

 

Still intimidating though, but Ash won.

 

Her Meowstic are a lot more threatening than they are in-game, and to be honest, that kind of says a lot.

(Then again, anime usually screws up the power levels anyway).

Looking forward to the XY&Z series on Thursday.

Yeah, her Meowstic isn't too difficult to kill in the game, the anime have definitely put them at a higher level, power wise to make it a legitmate challenge.

As for the Wulfric battle, I really don't see it being a 6-on-6 battle tbh. If anything, I expect it to be the standard 3-on-3 fight, but that's quite a ways away though and we can only speculate what the writers will do.

 

@Flame: I forgot about the cut when Jolteon was mentioned (though it was a couple of weeks since I saw the episode), so yeah that seems like a solid bet. Also, in the games, Serena/Calem has a Jolteon on their team if Chespin was the player's starter.

 

[spoiler=Thoughts on 91 Subbed]

James mentioned that the Sundial is one of the Seven Wonders of Kalos. I think it shouldn't be too difficult to guess what the other Wonders of Kalos are.

It seems that Carrie acting on her own arbitrary interpretations of Olympia's visions is a bad habit of hers.

I thought that the background music used for the explanation of Frogadier's past was a decent choice, and it was nice to learn more about it, with it being really selective and wanting love from its trainer.

 

 

 

EDIT (Tuesday 27th): New episode title

Episode 901: Pikachu Dreams of Squishy! (November 26th)
