Astro Dude Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Speaking of, Pokemon is only on 6 days a week on CN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Caught back up on the subs. Both episodes were really good. My guess is the thing that Serena is missing is more skill. She has much more heart, which is why she one, but other girl seemed to me to be more skilled. I REALLY liked how Ash carried himself in the Zapdos episode. Also I'm cool with how Noibat evolved. Evolution in the anime has alway been triggered out of need and emotions and since it always looked up to Luchabull (and Talonflame) seeing them lose triggered it. Curious what Dragon move it will end up learning since its bound to get one. Also, the battle with Zapdos was REALLY cool to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted March 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 If we're talking about Dragon-type moves, I reckon Dragon Pulse could be a decent shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 So, looks like the subs for 18 went up 2 days ago. Didn't catch it since new anime season likely pushed it out of notice. Not in a rush to watch it since its your basic master thief episode based on the preview. Japan sure does love Lupin. On a different note, I checked out the finale arc for team Galactic in the anime and it is REALLY good. It has some problems, but its super enjoyable and a cool twist from the games that still manages to keep the core of it. Hoping the Flare stuff is just as good. Might end up checking out the Team Rocket and Team Plasma stuff in BW since both look good and that will give me another idea as to how they will handle Flare.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I did find subs for 110-111 on Youtube a few days ago [maybe 112 also], but in Spanish (which shouldn't be TOO much of a problem for me, although assuming that some of the other frequent users here don't speak Spanish); I know ~BS~ doesn't. But yeah, looking forward to the rest of XY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Dude Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I read what happened in xy112. You know how most female protags go off to do their own thang after Ash's Journey ends, right? Misty: She becomes the Cerulean Gym LeaderMay: She learns more about being a coordinatorDawn: See MayIris: Not sure but I think, like in the games, she becomes champion of Unova. So my guess is Serena will take up Palermo's offer. That's my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I don't think Iris became the Champion of Unova in the anime off-screen, pretty sure Alder still holds that title. Remember, Iris wanted to be a Dragon Master so pretty sure she's still trying to become a Dragon Master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Dude Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 3 out of 4's not bad, still, I think Serena being tutored is a possibility for after Ash's Journey ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 When I saw the episode, I was like "I'm sure Serena take Palermo up on her offer when she's ready/when Ash leaves Kalos". At least Palermo kept the door open for Serena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Dude Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Indeed. But Ash still has one more Badge to go, and there's Team Flare, the Kalos League... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 ...not to mention the 6th bloody team member. (Which my money is currently on the Shiny Phantump that'll appear at the end of the month) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Hopefully it is the Phantump (because as mentioned earlier, Ash ALWAYS has a Grass type at some point during his regional travels), but chances are that the Shiny either is some random wild one or is under the possession of some minor character we won't give a crap about once the episode ends. As for Serena going off to become Kalos Queen, it may happen at the end of the series but going to wait until it gets there. But yeah, at least the offer is still open so she can at least take care of other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I've said it a few times, personally I'd like to see Serena keep traveling with Ash. At the very least they NEED to have some closure for her crush on him. They've spent WAY to much time on it to not do anything with it. I wonder how helpful the Phantump would end up being on Ash's team if he does catch it. Goomy and Noibat were both minor players on his team until they evolved. Afraid the same would be true of Phantump, and with the limited time left (24 episodes or so left between Phantump episode and Gen 7 starting assuming it happens in November) it would be REALLY close. Especially with Gym 8, the rest of Flare, the league, and any wrap up stuff needing to happen in that pretty small window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Dude Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Man... Cartoon Network is being jerks: Now they only air Pokemon on Saturdays, and they're not even gonna air a new episode this Saturday. Why don't they just air the old episodes on Weekdays, like Boomerang does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted April 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 They probs have a tight enough schedule as-is, not like it's the end of the world or anything. Over here XY&Z will start airing this Saturday, but I'm in town that day so I'm not fussed about missing it as I've already seen the episode. EDIT (Thursday): New episode titleEpisode 921: Ash VS Champion Diantha! VS Mega Gardevoir!! (May 5th) EDIT 2:[spoiler=Thoughts on XY113]- The one time Bonnie succeeds in finding a suitor for Clemont, she (Bonnie) begins to regret it. That being said the episode marks the first appearance of a Buneary that is NOT Dawn's since DP009 like 8 years ago (Said Buneary also had a thing for Bunnelby). Cute filler episode though.

Astro Dude Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 And in the next preview I think I got a gist of what's happening: [spoiler next episode]Ash gets sick and a trainer comes by to beat Ash's Pikachu. So what does she do, pull a reverse Ash. Meaning, another girl other than Jessie cross dresses as a boy, in this case Serena dresses up as Ash to battle the trainer. Can she win?

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 [spoiler=XY113 stuff]Eureka's little stunt of her proposing to every pretty girl she sees backfires, since this one actually liked him. Though, she got jealous over the attention (well, I'd expect this from small kids anyway)Anyone else got a reminder of LagomorphShipping from this episode? (Although Bunnelby didn't appear to be as embarassed as Pikachu was back in DP)If those two had married, wonder how that would've turned out. Oh wait, Citron is a bit too young for marriage; assuming our societal norms apply right now. As for the next episode, now we know what happens. And in the next preview I think I got a gist of what's happening: [spoiler next episode]Ash gets sick and a trainer comes by to beat Ash's Pikachu. So what does she do, pull a reverse Ash.

She and Pikachu should be familiar enough that there won't be any miscommunication between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~British Soul~ Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Meanwhile le subs for XYZ-19 are out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 I still need to watch XY110 subs (then again, I did start to watching the Spanish one on Youtube the other day, but gave up on that). Should've watched it after I finished 113 today [oh wait, they added them after I finished so I probably wouldn't have seen them]. ---As for CN airing Pokemon only on Saturdays, not really bothered since [1] Mostly watching the subs nowadays (though the dub actors, least from M17/18, are decent] and [2] Lack of cable television.

Flame Dragon Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 And caught back up on subs. 18: Cute episode. Didn't go the direction I was expecting based on the preview, but thats a nice thing. 19: Thi episode really hits home how lack luster the rivals Ash ended up getting. They aren't bad, don't get me wrong, but the dynamics between Serena and her rivals is just better. For that reason, this is a great episode. You really feel like this is a culmination of everything she has been through up till now. I know how it ends, but I'm still really excited to see it unfold.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Game-wise, Tierno and Trevor were essentially useless throughout the whole game (and Tierno is still crap in the postgame, except for Heart Scales). I forgot what Trevor even does, so that says quite a bit. (Oh wait, he just mentions stuff about Mega Evolution). At present, Tierno actually has a fleshed-out team (however functional that ends up being), but yeah Ash's rivals are kind of stale right now. ---But yeah... XY110: See raw thoughts, except I guess because he didn't actually steal anything, he wasn't going to be charged with anything (bar for getting a harsh warning). XY111: British and I both mentioned this during raws, but the writers did bullshit Jessie into the Master Class (despite her only ribbon being during the contest where Eevee messed up, and the relative lack of time between that and said tournament). Master Class must've taken a considerable amount of time after 110. But yeah, if Miette and Nene were in different brackets than Serena and Jessie, maybe they would've made it to round 2 (but likely would still get steamrollered later). This is a good episode though, and next one does get better. (Still waiting for the full version of Dream Dream to get released; the one used for the ending and during Serena's performance) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Dude Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 All right, to prep up: 1. how many times has Ash cross-dressed? 2. how many women, other than Jessie, cross dress as men? Cite names, and post pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 1. The only instances I remember are the Celadon Gym and Maid Café incidents.2. As for women crossdressing, I think Jessie was the only women to have crossdressed thus far if I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 There's also that incident during BW (involving a trio of arrogant girls and Iris being pissed off at their leader); that's another time Ash has crossdressed. And yeah, Jessie's the only female to have done so (at least as far as I remember); a note that I haven't watched a bulk of the original series (and as such, might have occurred then). ----Not that Serena crossdressing as Ash is going to raise any alarms.
