Astro Dude Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 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. One of the girls in the trio, the one with the prince outfit. And Daisy dressed like a prince too. And I think Zoey did it too in DP during contests. 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.Don't forget in Advanced where Ash dressed up like a woman named Juliet.

~British Soul~ Posted April 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Don't forget in the Advanced Generation series where Ash dressed up like a woman named Juliet.imo that's the least memorable case of crossdressing in the series. EDIT: New trailer for the movie EDIT 2:[spoiler=Preview spoiler]Alain seems to have a Metang as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~British Soul~ Posted April 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Atem: That's no teapot *drama button plays*In all seriousness though, whilst we're on the subject of Volcanion, I'm sure pokemon groups will begin to be flooded with Volcanion posts when its distribution begins on Saturday in Japan.

Astro Dude Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 I'd imagine so. By the way, the SerenAsh episode aired. Team Rocket tried wayyyyyyy too hard with their disguise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And is it me or did it look like Ash's heart stopped in the middle of battle? And I bet Lysandre gave Alain that Metang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro Dude Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Guess so. Also, we get introduced to many a new character in the next movie. We're in the middle of distribution year. Where will Volcanion fit in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted April 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Volcanion is a central part of the plot. I do remember posting something about it a couple of months back. EDIT: Since I'm an idiot, I'm guessing towards the end of the year for Europe and NA. Japan gets it starting from tomorrow. (although it is currently the 16th in Japan time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Yeah, I'd say that Volcanion will be released sometime near the end of the year (or whenever the movie airs in English). As for the Bonnie/Eureka thing, both of them refer to the same character; only that I choose to use the sub names because that's what I watch most of the time now. Though, it's not that much of a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Dude Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Okay then. Sooooo... what to talk about? Oh, Ash's chances in the Kalos league. What are his odds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 I want him to do better than top 8. It was a step backwards after DP and there he was easily the 2nd best trainer in the league. Not to mention unlike RS where he lost to the eventual winner he didn't even lose to the winner in BW. Add on Tierno and Shota both being characters he has been shown to be better than he doesn't currently have a rival that feels acceptable for him to lose to. Finally, he also has a fully evolved team currently and even if his 6th Pokemon isn't that is still better than what he had in DP. To give an actual position I'm hoping for him to get at least get 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 To be fair, Ash deserved to be 2nd in DP, since the actual runner-up couldn't even kill Darkrai; something Ash actually did (albeit losing 4 'mons to do it). Then again, you can't blame either of them; they're fighting a legendary Pokemon user (well, we won't know what the remaining 4 Pokes were) As for this generation, unless he gets an opponent who's extremely good and NOT a rival, I don't think Ash should be losing. Tierno is okay, but not noteworthy; Shota is getting better but Ash is definitely more seasoned. But yeah, at least runner-up status this time [i doubt they'll throw another legend user in here to screw him over]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, at least runner-up status this time [i doubt they'll throw another legend user in here to screw him over]. Which is why I say he was the second best trainer. Your second point is the whole reason Darkrai guy got added most likely. Ash needed to beat Paul and they had gotten Ash to a point where unless they did something crazy like have a dude with mono legendary Pokemon it was going to be a hard sell. Personally, I want to see Alain enter the league this way Ash has someone he can either believably lose to or someone he can shockingly overcome to win it all. Also, another issue with Ash making finals is episode count. As it stands we have May-November so only 28 more episodes to work with. That time needs to hit 6th team member, 8th badge, Flare, and the league. Thats at least 10 episodes (1, 2, 3, 5 respectively) locked in. Hell, the 6th Pokemon is also going to need some focus episodes like Goomy and Noibat got so thats another 2 or 3. Plus wrap up episode for XYZ. We do not have a lot of room for other stuff with all of that basically locked in as coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted April 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Whilst I'm hoping Ash gets at least 2nd, I'm realistically expecting him to make top four. I'm thinking that they'll do something like in AG where they introduce what looks like a strong trainer just before the league begins and will probs beat Ash. I'm saying that because imo Tierno and Shota are somewhat comparable to Morrison. Both of them are good trainers (just like Morrison was), I just don't see them beating Ash in the league. In fact I'm thinking Tierno will finish top 16, Shota top 8. (I'm getting ahead of myself here, but I can that happening regarding those two) Also new titlesEpisode 922: Rival Showdown! Ash vs Shota!! (May 12th)Episode 923: Snowbelle Gym Match! A Battlefield of Ice!! (May 19th) We finally know when Ash will fight for his 8th badge.

toukotamago Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 The concept of a strong trainer showing up just before the Pokemon League arc and kicking Ash's ass didn't start with AG, it started with Richie and was a constant theme throughout the entire anime, with Tobias being the most offensive example. While we're at it, the trope involving Ash beating his longtime rival throughout the region started with him beating Gary in Johto, and continued with him beating Morrison in Hoenn, Paul in Sinnoh, etc. I don't really keep up with pokeani anymore, I just thought I'd chime in with that.

~British Soul~ Posted April 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 I was just using AG as an example, and I don't particularly count Ritchie as an example of that only because he beat Ash due to Charizard being a lazy jabroni and refusing to battle, it didn't actually faint.

toukotamago Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 tru Harrison would be a more valid example then, since Charizard and Blaziken actually had a legitimate (and awesome) battle, which Blaziken won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted April 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Yeah, I would agree that Harrison is a more valid example. That Charizard/Blaziken fight was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~British Soul~ Posted April 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Yes, subbed. Dub will need time. *Rest of post suddenly disappeared*No sheet Sherlock, though strictly speaking the subs for said episode will take like a few weeks to materialise after the RAW comes out anyway, even then the subs will appear before the episode is dubbed anyway.

That battle is one of the best in the anime imo. I think its why Blaziken does rival Charizard as my favorite Pokemon. Speaking of the various leagues, it is interesting to see how Ash develops across them Gen 1: Top 16, does better than Gary but never battles him. Gen 2: Top 8, beat Gary and loses to Harrison who loses because he didn't use Blaizken in his top 4 battle since it was that beat Gen 3: Top 8, loses to eventual winner Gen 4: Top 4, loses to eventual winner Gen 5: Top 8, loses to a random late introduction BW sucks. :/ Anyway, while it is late, I am really happy that they are trying really hard to develop Shota as a Rival for Ash. I wonder if he will actually win this one to give their battle in the league more tension. If Ash goes Win, Win, Win, Lose when it counts it would REALLY suck.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Yeah, Unova had to introduce some random Eeveelution trainer in Gen 5 and have him win the whole thing, so that kinda sucked for Ash. Would be interesting to see Alain fight in this tournament, but I don't think he's interested in gym battles right now (least outside of helping Mairin/Manon). As for the previews, one more month until Ash and Wulfric actually fight. This should be interesting (by then, Ash should HOPEFULLY have a full team); as much as I could say Ash spams Talonflame (I don't think it learned Flare Blitz yet), Ash will likely use other Pokemon for this fight. Hopefully Ash wins, but otherwise, nothing lower than top 4. ----Come to think of it, now that Serena's showcase thing is over; what's next for her besides accompanying Ash for the remainder of his journey in XY?
