krisichiki said: The Kalos League is finally here! I personally enjoyed the episode and the way the battles transitioned from one another. It was nice to see the Kalos Champion announcing the beginning of the Kalos League. Did that ever happen before? I don't quite remember. I just really like the way the Kalos League was presented. Cynthia was present at the Shinnoh League as a Vip spectator just as the Kalos Champion is here. Quick Edit: Acoording to Cynthia's Bulbapedia page: "She also appeared in An Old Family Blend!, where she observed the Lily of the Valley Conference alongside Charles Goodshow, making her the first current Champion to appear at a Pokémon League Conference. While watching, she showed a deep interest in the battle between Ash and Paul. At the end of the competition, she personally delivered the trophy to the winner, Tobias, who had won the Sinnoh League and the right to face the Elite Four." An Old Family Blend! btw is DP182/Season 13 Episode 25 just to be thorough. |

| Well that was expected..black charizard all the way :p though I really wished that battle lasted longer. |
| you know pokemon is going downhill when the league stops doing full 6 battles... still wondering on which idiot thought it was a good idea to create a knock off mega for greninja instead of just giving Ash a mega charizard. Luckily Generations will save my soul from further disappointment |

Luckily Generations will save my soul from further disappointment Not a single League ever started with 6 on 6'es, so hold your horses. Oh and probably the idiot from marketing who is there to promote the NEW pokemon. Besides Kalos is Froakie's story just as DP was Chimchar's, getting Charizard back into the mix now would be suicide to the overall plot. But serious, why do people like you bother to torment yourself watching a product you clearly dont like. |

But serious, why do people like you bother to torment yourself watching a product you clearly dont like. saying its froakie's story is inaccurate since Ash normally gets all 3 starters.. and its kinda hard to "promote something" that will never be seen again.Bringing the back the most requested Pokemon would be suicide to the plot how? Mega Charizard was the face of mega evolution obviously Ash should've received charizard y. Kalos is specifically focused on mega evolution him going there and not receiving a mega basically makes the entire season pointless "Don't like pokemon" far from it... The manga,games,anime I love it all just stating that there's an obvious decline in quality from the anime. If you need anymore proof just look at the Sun & Moon trailer.... |

The manga,games,anime I love it all just stating that there's an obvious decline in quality from the anime. If you need anymore proof just look at the Sun & Moon trailer.... First of all he only got 1 of the starters in Houen and only 2 in Shinnoh. And while he did get all three of them in Unova, it was clear that Mijumaru was the break out star. So at this point we are at 3 vs 3, hardly a percentage worthy of being called ''normally''. Secondly this is the story of Kalos, there for also the story of said Pokemon and characters. Sure, they might not be seen again in the anime after this but according to that logic you can almost screw everything off. Why bother with Shinnoh ? not like we have seen Paul again, what a waste of time was that huh. Thirdly, Froakie being special has been hinted since LITERARY the FIRST episode of YX. It got further elevated by Olympia and the Ninja village. So yes, this is Froakie's story and by adding Charizard you will not only get two stars competing for the main stage, you will also screw over the TWO other Charizard trainers by stealing their Mega evolution away from them. Just look at BW, who cared about Pignite, Charizard was back! The fact that Ash didnt get a Mega evo mon was peculiar indeed, but the mechanism has been displayed enough by other trainers and the alternative has been made legit by the anime, so in the end it really doesnt hold any worth. Besides, the anime has shown that getting a keystone AND matching crest isnt exactly easy anyway, so Ash not securring them isnt that unrealistic. Oh, and this is YX, dont compare what is coming in the future to the product which is on display now. You cant judge a something by the look of its successor. |

I probably got more years in the Pokemon world than you. Heck just check my profile, I list myself located in Ecruteak(seriously, best city in the Pokemon world). You know, THE SECOND GEN CITY. If you got a problem with my arguments that's fine. You dont have to agree with me, this is a message board after all. You know a place for exactly these kind of discussions. But to back out with an insult ? That is being disgraceful to the honor of being a trainer, shame on you, miss. |

| That did seem a little rushed, we didn't get to see Alain or Ash's battle completely. It was nice to see Alain's mega Charizard X vs Sawyer's Mega Charizard Y though, X looks way cooler though and I am surprised Y got taken down so soon tbh. The other two I get more. We only saw Ash defeat the first Pokemon then they say he got through and I was like "but I wanted to see the rest" - it was quite disappointing compared to the League's of the first few seasons which were the last I watched where they showed every match completely I think. It was awesome to see Ash-Greninja again though! <3 I got the Sun and Moon demo and got him, so cool <3 That silly boy making Ash battle him too and nearly making him forfeit the match was annoying. I get it, but surely he could've got the required 8 gym badges in time if he were that good. |

| The Pocket Monster wars have begun! Pachira returns looking fine. Rocket Gang doing what they do during the war. DAT PACHIRA SIDE BOOTY! Oppai on point. Satoshi makes his declaration to win and reminds us that he wants to be a Pokemon master. Some dude(Yuma) getting in Satoshi's(Bakura) way of registering. Lol at Serena holding Satoshi's hand. OMG! Ayaka returns and she's participating in the war. My wish came true. Tierno trying to smash again. Carne and Prof. Platane are here. Where's Hanako and Prof. Okido? Where's Lizardon? What is going on here? A battle of two Lizardon's? A battle of two Mega Lizardon's? This should be great. Trova's Mega Lizardon gets wan taan killed. What a letdown. Looks like Trova's summer vacation.... is over. Stop being a sore loser and get your 8 badges and stop bothering other people with your problems. Dat Jewmanbolto looked so good. It's time for Satoshi's battle and Gekkouga is first! Motto, motto motto tsuyoku! Iku Z! They played "XYZ: Number one" version. DAT SAKUGA! Satoshi advances! Ayaka, too. Nice. Disappointed Satoshi revealed his kirifuda so soon. |

| 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). |
| A bit too rushed to my liking.. I hope we see more of Alan vs Trevor instead of Ash vs some random guy.. The Charizard X vs Y was cool but again, it's too fast (i mean Trevor's Charizard lost by 1 hit) anyway, hope that the later episode would become much more satisfying.. 4/5 |
Reality is the lifeblood that makes a work pulse with energy. Reality itself is entertainment  |
