| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- R.I.P. Citroid next week there will be 1 hour special (episode 42&43) with a big announcement (Pokemon S&M anime?) |
 |
| Another good episode and the feels for Clembot with Bonnie singing. Next episode is hype for the 1 hour special. |
| We all called it but it was still heartbreaking. All hail Citroid, he gave his life to save the city. Manly tears are allowed! And if that wasnt enough to pull your heartstrings into submission you also had the whole Eureka singing for her life. Hefty episode. Anyway, Ash his team is dropping hard, we're down to just Pikachu and Gekkouga whilst Alain is pocketinh his team, still. I wouldn't call it jobbing though. Fact is, they just fought a Championship round. I'm more suprised they are still that energetic. The hype train continues to the next episode! 1 hour special guys! |

| I cried so f*cking hard when Eureka started singing, and then Citroid dies. My feels were destroyed in this episode. |
 |
| Resume of this episode: Feels! ayy i'm waiting for that S&M trailer next week.... |
 |
| amazing ep. Bonnie singing was epic and RIP Citroid. So many feels |
Hikari_Hoshisora said: I cried so f*cking hard when Eureka started singing, and then Citroid dies. My feels were destroyed in this episode. I agree!! And now it makes sense to vitiate us in the ending ... An attempt to make us sing alongside Eureka in order to save the Puni-chan!! Finally, Team Flare arc is close to its climax and is probably one of the most well-crafted in Pokémon anime (along Satoshi and Shinji rivalry)!! (Obs. Love how even underestimating his enemies Lysandre still poses as badas* and convinced of his plan success!!) |
| It's been a while since Pokemon was this heart-wrenching... Lysson seemed to be on the edge after losing the two Zygarde but considering how confident he looks, he still has an ace in his sleeve. |
THANKS SENPIEX  |
Lararin said: Wow, as others have mentioned that shiny Gyarados is beautiful! Reminds me, I can’t wait for there to be shiny Pokemon in Pokemon Go :D I never liked the “Puni Puni~” ending theme song, but it was cute to see Puni-chan come to his senses thanks to all the love Eureka has given him. I have faith Citron can rebuild his gym and his robot friends as well :*( I’m SO EXCITED for the 1 hour special next week. I assume the “big announcement” will be about the Sun & Moon anime. That will clearly be Citron's reason to leave the show. He's going full Volkner. Miare city will be better than ever after this war is over. |

We are just focusing on what the Mains and recurring characters are doing because they are carring the plot and actually know what is going on on. The other strong trainers are probably just on crowd control, which arguably really isnt as exciting. Besides, lets be honest here, the Police probably doesnt want any people to do as they want muddling their process anyway. Even more chaos isnt gonna help. |

| More emotion than I could handle in this episode. Ash's speech was epic, and that was followed up by Bonnie's tearful plea to Zygarde. And character death. WHAT AM I EVEN WATCHING |
| Got oppai? |
Lararin said: Episode 44 title kinda gave it awayPunkbeetle said: That will clearly be Citron's reason to leave the show. He's going full Volkner. Miare city will be better than ever after this war is over. Excellent point, you're probably right. When Ash says goodbye to Citron and Eureka they'll be working to rebuild the city and the gym. Wouldn't be surprised if the line "My gym needs me" is used, haha. But it will make for a natural and non-sad goodbye. |
|
| Man, The maturity of the anime really has gotten very high. Clembot's death had a gravitas to it that you would see in some adult shows rather then most kids shows, or even most adult anime, for that matter. |
| Wow i almost cried in this episodes. Eureka singing and Citroid. I actually didnt think that the destruction of citroid would affect me but it did, kudos to the writers. I think i have finally recoverd from the Kalos league set back phew thank god. Anyways next week is a 1 hour long Pokemon special, might even get a teaser for the Pokemon sun and moon anime. The hype is real |

| OMG new preview for episode 42-43 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaVksslmOgo All gym leaders from Kalos assembles for the final of this arc.This going to be epic. I'm over hype.. |
What was the point of that Spoiler when you immediately give it away... kaitonic said: OMG new preview for episode 42-43 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaVksslmOgo All gym leaders from Kalos assembles for the final of this arc.This going to be epic. I'm over hype.. And that's another spoiler. Still, grateful for the link. @Shoryuuken: eien_kiseki said: *sigh* xy&z has completely been disappointing since Ash lost the league. Shame you are not liking it, what exactly isnt ringing true for you ? |

| so much feels... even a legendary pokemon can't resist Eureka's cry... so hype for next episode... 1 hour right?? nice... hope Serena will come to Alola region as well... but i also want to see how the new heroine in Pokemon S&M... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
 |
| It has been so long since a Pokemon episode actually made you feel a bit of feels. Between Eureka's singing and Citroid, the feels were there. XYZ has gotten even so much better. It really picked up around the final gym and has kept going since. |
| Wow, another really good, emotional episode. I really don't want XYZ to end |
| Man this arc has been very good. - Team Rocket getting a bit of spotlight - Steven showing just how boss he is. - The feels in this episode. Clemont making the ultimate decision of his life and sacrificing Citroid so he can save Luminose City. Then there's Eureka, very touching scene. |
 |
| Well, pretty nice to see Steven again since the only appearance that he had in the anime series is when ash and co trapped in the cave back in Hoenn region (incounting the Mega Evolution Special).. Wonder if ash will recognize him or not.. I have to give props to Lysandre.. His Mega Gyarados is actually swept almost all of Ash's team bar Greninja and Pikachu, with Malva also joining the battle, it would be interesting.. Now for the episode itself, it's kinda heartbreaking alright.. I don't remember the last time i cried in Pokemon anime but the scene when Bonnie sing the Squishy song is completely heartbreaking that i actually cried and it's pretty sweet that Zygarde actually still recognize her in the end.. also RIP Clembot, i know it's not a human character, but the fact that it still have a courage to self-destruct itself for a greater good is respectable IMO.. Anyway, yet another excellent episode.. This Team Flare Arc is hand down the best Villain Team arc in the Pokemon anime to date, obviously looking forward to see the following episode next week.. 5/5 |

Reality is the lifeblood that makes a work pulse with energy. Reality itself is entertainment  |
| LMAO at Satoshi's pokemon getting rekt. Pachira looking fine. The return of Daigo. He finally caught on to Fleur. Eureka singing the Squishy song. Roll credits! RIP Citroid. |

| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| I think I'm gonna cry T^T Bonnie singing and crying, and Clembot getting nearly destroyed and losing his memories was so sad. XY/XYZ is amazing. *cries* |
| I watched this when it aired on CITV but had no WiFi until now, so it was weeks ago, so I barely remember it. Team Rocket <3 Bonnie singing and crying was so sweet and sad! :( Clembot!!! poor thing, and now he doesn't remember anything :( |
 |
| Did not expect Bonnie to start singing but it was soo good! Also goodbye Clembot o7 Stellar episode! |
 |
| Serena's out here getting the short end of the stick in the Team Flare arc! My girlie didn’t even get to save Chespy all by herself: Steven Stone came in and ultimately saved the day. But both Bonnie and Clemont got awesome moments this episode. Bonnie spoke to Squishy and was able to remind Squishy who they were again by singing a song that is thousands of times better than May’s lullaby from Jirachi Wishmaker. And Clemont got some fantastic tag teaming with Clembot in taking back the Lumiose Gym, complete with an excellently handled sacrifice of Clembot in the end. I swear, every time this show kills a robot, it’s great. |
| Cross-country >>>>>>>>>>>> Every other sport |
| It feels like the climax of both Bonnie's and Clemont's entire character buildup happened in this episode... just amazing |
