Yeah, the dub opening is seriously bad compared to the Japanese one. 

 

As for the subbed episode concerning Ash vs Tapu Koko (rematch), nothing much to add other than the fact he lost again and wants to battle in the future. (Now let's wait for last week's stuff to be subbed)

Well considering Tapu Koko is  a legendary, it should be no surprise Ash would lose.

[spoiler=stuff]

  • You really should've left the Sandygast alone and not knocked out the shovels. Then again, this one was 5-10x larger than a standard. 
  • Litten masters Fire Fang; oh yippee.
  • Miscellaneous Water Pokemon got in the way of retrieving the shovel.
  • Ash, tell me how dumb you are to try headbutting a wall of ice WITH YOUR HEAD. That, and Pikachu tried to use Electric attacks (did you not learn from previous generations not in Kanto?)

 

 

 

Also still no subs for 20-21

In sub news, episode 20 is now subbed (shame 21 wasn't uploaded subbed alongside it)

In English news, from watching episode 3, they've done away with the black bg for the credits and instead visuals from the Japanese ending is shown in the bg

....oh and as announced on Twitter like 10 mins ago, the US gets the series on May 12th (a Friday) on Disney xd with episode 3 on the 13th.

Not really surprised with the US release news; would've liked it if they aired on non-cable channels like they used to do in the past, but whatever. Can just wonder how the actors will end up pronouncing Hawaiian words (you know Alola has several of them, and I already mentioned that they pronounced Kiawe's name wrong [though I guess I'll let them go on that because there isn't really a set rule for when you pronounce the "w" as a v-sound, least from what I learned in that one-hour lesson during Hawaiian studies about language])

 

I'll watch 20 subbed later, but that's the crappy "promote movie 20 episode" so...

Bewear, the nightmares are coming in English now. #Kiawerage

Never would've guessed :Kappa:  .

I'll also watch it later, though as I said already, 'tis a shame 21 wasn't subbed alongside it (I bet it'll come like next week or something)

 

EDIT: (Thursday)

[spoiler=From what I have read...]

Team Rocket had a bunch of wigs that resembled past companions including May and Brock.

Diglet episode was nice. We at least get an updated version of Tri Attack.

 

[spoiler next episode]

Ash's mom visits.

[spoiler=20 subs]

  • Ash, explain why the hell you didn't bring another Pokemon with you besides Pikachu. If this was supposed to push nostalgia; didn't really work. 

 

 

 

[spoiler=23]

  • Wait for subs to figure out why stuff happened.
  • Haruka and Takeshi hairdos; at least they didn't forget they exist. 
  • They played part of the Showcase music before the concert (and really a lot of anime versions of XY tracks).
  • Kiawe didn't want to go, but suppose his sister (and Ash) convinced him to.

 

 

 

No comment on next episode because yeah, we already knew that.

Speaking of, why haven't the writers implemented him in the story yet?

Maybe he has a different role entirely.

 

Edit: new episode title

Episode 970: Come Forth, Lugarugan with the Crimson Look!! (May 18th)

 

8KLCoNUr.png

 

Gladion will appear in the episode on May 18th and will have an Umbreon and Midnight Lycanroc (and the ability to use the Rock-type Z-move)

I shouldn't be too surprised his team is gonna be different in the anime

 

[spoiler=more stuff from Pokémon fan]

JQgmn4N.jpg

Lugarugan's Z-Move is super strong!!

Lugarugan uses the Rock type Z-Move! The other half of this duo, Gladio, is tough as well!!

 

The Rock type Z-Move, "World's End Fall"

Enormous rocks strikes the opponent from the air!!

 

Gladio is super skilled as well!!

Gladio is so strong there's been talk about it in town, so Satoshi immediately challenges him to a battle! How will Satoshi go up against the Rock type Z-Move, which he has never seen before?!

 

What are Gladio and Lugarugan's secrets?!

Let's take a look at the powerful Gladio's secrets:

Secret 1: Lugarugan is Iwanko's goal!!

Lugarugan is the form Iwanko takes after evolving. Satoshi's Iwanko is training to become stronger, and this is the goal it aims for!

There's also a Midday Form: Which form will Satoshi's Iwanko eventually evolve into?!

Secret 2: Gladio is Lilie's brother!!

Even though they are siblings, it has apparently been a long time since Gladio and Lilie last met. Just why is it that Gladio is traveling...?

 

(Satoshi: I'll become much stronger too!!)

[spoiler=Thoughts on preview]

  • Ash, your ass is going to get creamed on turn 1; considering all of your 'mons bar Pikachu are LC-tiered (you know what this implies), Pikachu is generally horrible and you're dealing with a guy who's very talented. Yes, you can perform Z-moves too, but that won't be enough.
    • I have a level 40-something Lycanroc (either form) in my box that I'm not using; that's more than enough to wipe Ash as he is.
  • Looking at the screenshot, Gladion's Lycanroc appears to be friendly, so...
  • Oh good, Gladion finally makes an appearance; team is different though (but could be other stuff). Maybe he'll have a Type: Null later on.
    • Let's see if he's the same way as in the games or completely different.

 

I realize that I'm setting Ash up to lose, but looking at what he has right now, chances of him doing well are very slim.

 

 

 

As for Ilima, yeah, probably something else in mind for him (or they're just excluding certain Captains). We have to see how the anime deals with Lana, Kiawe and Mallow; likely will be their trial Pokemon only and not actually doing tasks. Electric trial will be a long way coming.

Not to mention Ghost and Dragon.

 

Speaking of... When with Lusamine the Queen of Mean appear and what role will she have?

Well, the Dragon trial had no captain to begin with (yes, Mina exists but she didn't have a trial; or not until postgame anyway if you want to class her battle as such; she just casually gives you Fairium and walks away). Ghost might happen, but Acerola or whoever's a long ways into the future. 

 

As for Lusamine, we don't know. Maybe if Aether Paradise gets referenced and we go there at some point in the series, or Gladion makes some note of her in his debut.

[spoiler Well]

*Today's episode was where everyone's parents visited, except for Mallow, Kiawe and Lillie's. My guess, being the president of the Aether Foundation, you have a busy schedule.

 

 

[spoiler next episode]

Darkium Z? With no Nanu? Or maybe Nanu will show up in the end and use Black Hole Eclipse. Wonder if he'll have a chant like Kiawe. He'll probably be like:

 

Nanu: Got it.

Nanu: How annoying.

Nanu: Absol, let's get this overwith.

Nanu: The Zenith of my mind. I summon the power of Ula'ula, let your hopes sink into ultimate darkness. Black Hole Eclipse.

They don't have to show Nanu demonstrate the Dark Z-Move specifically, heck it might not be used in the next episode. But that's just my opinion.

 

EDIT:

[spoiler=Thoughts on 20 subbed]

- Thought it was amusing to see everyone including Rotom bugger off leaving Ash to go shopping with the girls

- When Wimpod raided Ash's bag, I was reminded of Rattata doing so in the first episode

- Ofc Ash sees Tapu Lele towards the end

 

 

 

[spoiler=Thoughts on 21 RAW]

- We see Stoutland teach Litten how to use Fire Fang, which it doesn't master in this episode

- Meowth showed character again when he was curious about the Litten situation, even saying to Ash that he wants Litten to be protected

- Stoutland vanishes/dies/however you want to interpret it. Though we figured this'd happen eventually

- Ofc Ash catces Litten

 

 

 

[spoiler=Thoughts on 22 RAW]

- At least Litten mastered Fire Fang

- When Sandyghast evolved, the evolution style from Best Wishes and XY is used instead of the one used in SM018

- Seems Palossand was pissed because it lost its shovel (and jabbing the Rotomdex on its head was clearly a great idea)

- I was able to assume that Palossand was trying to absorb Litten and Rotom's life force

- It was amusing to see Popplio fail to get the shovel when the various water-types got in the way

- Dat ending though, RIPerino

 

 

 

[spoiler=Thoughts on 23 RAW]

- Kiawe seemed reluctant to wear the wig until the others talked him into it

- Team Rocket had a bunch of wigs that resembled past companions including May and Brock, in addition to Wally

(ofc nobody wanted them as everyone was wearing Dugtrio wigs)

- The Alolan Diglett admired Alolan Dugtrio's hair and wanted to join them, specifically the wig Rotom was wearing which resembled the one it wore in the detective episode

- It seemed that the DJ and Kukui knew each other.

 

 

 

[spoiler=Thoughts on 24 RAW]

- Blah blah blah, Ash's mum visits blah

- She spent most of the episode carrying Litten though

- Rotom's voice duplication function came in handy when Ash was doing his report, until Kukui ratted Rotom out that is

- Team Skull attacked agaiin, didn't expect that

- At least everyone offered to clean the mess at the end though.

 

 

At least the next episode gives us an opportunity to show the Moon exclusive MeleMele totem; Raticate

 

[spoiler=Thoughts on 25]

Team Rocket end up with the Darkinium Z
