| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Chill episode with great interactions and some info dump. The hype for next week is real! PV: |
 |
| Din't understabd much for the raw, much plot going on in this episode. What I did notice was that Lysandre seemed a bit pushy with Ash towards the ending of the episode, WANTING to see Ash Greninja after the finales. Also, Sawyer his scene was so saddening... he really was thorned that he lost the league and to Ash. It seems like alot will come to light really soon!! On to the finals! 5/5 |

| I hope that Ash will get a Mega Ring temporarily and that he would borrow the Mega Stones of Sceptile and Charizard. There is no rule in the anime that says that two Mega Evolutions in a battle is prohibited. |

Shoryuuken said: Why does he need a mega? Ash Greninja surpasses the capabilities of a simple mega evolution. For an epic battle against Team Flare. Three of Satoshi's most powerful Pokémon in their most powerful forms teaming up with each other. Pure fanservice. Thankfully, being an experienced anime sub watcher, I've grasped about 30% of the dialogue and know mostly what is going on. It's nice to see that Alain told Platane that he was distant to him to protect him and Platane is open-minded enough to understand that. That being said, everyone except Pachira and other TF members think that Fleur-de-lis is a nice guy. |
| Soo remaining Alain's Pokemon are Unfezant and Bisharp. Both from Gen 5 tho. Talks that he will use Pokemons from 6 different regions turned out to be wrong. Couldn't he theoretically use three Mega Evolutions with Tyranitar and Metagross ? ( I Don't know if rules allow this or not ) Buuuut that would be too much ;') |
| I wasn't expected to tear up when Manon started crying, I feel so sorry for her, what gets me more is the fact that I think Lysson is lying to her and probably Hari-san won't wake up at-all. Lysson was SOOOO weird with Ash, even he noticed he was getting a little too excited when talking about Ash and his pokemon bonds. I actually think Lysson does not care if Alain wins but he'd rather to see more from Ash. The hype is real guys, see you next episode. |
 |
| Nice episode. It's getting closer to the Team Flare arc so this serves as an introduction for Lysandre and Mairin to Ash and company. Next week will be exciting, prepare your eyes guys! Glory or defeat, Ash got to the finals! |
THANKS SENPIEX  |
eien_kiseki said: The preview intentionally withheld Gekkouga's fight or it doesn't fight? Cuz all I see is Pikachu taking on 4 pokemon... Well I'll assume this battle is divided into two parts like the semi, so Pikachu carries Ash through the first part and second part... will be Gekkouga? Switching in, switching out. It'll be a smogon battle lol. MajinAkuma said: Shoryuuken said: Why does he need a mega? Ash Greninja surpasses the capabilities of a simple mega evolution. For an epic battle against Team Flare.

| A build-up episode for what comes after the tournament.And now the finals! :D |
 |
| Set up episodes, but one that was done quite good. Episode ties the complete cast of the Evolution Specials to the main plot and give more weight behind the idea that Flare will indeed either interrupt or attack straight after the battle. mootjuh said: Okay seriously. There's a break episode, and there is ABSOLUTELY NO cameo of any older characters? I would have imagined some people rushing to Kalos once they've heard Satoshi to be in the finals.. Also looking at the PV, pikachu is battling alot of Alan's pokemon. I wonder if he'll sweep a few. This league is plotdriven and unfortunately for us the older cast would eat up time. Trust me though, i'm also miffed at the lack of cameo's this League. |

| I almost cried during the scene with Maron, shota however, I'm just like dude get over it |
MajinAkuma said: I hope that Ash will get a Mega Ring temporarily and that he would borrow the Mega Stones of Sceptile and Charizard. There is no rule in the anime that says that two Mega Evolutions in a battle is prohibited. There really is no reason for Ash to use a Mega. Ash-Greninja alone does that and his other Pokemon still get their time to shine. Using 2 Megas would devalue Ash-Greninja as that's been the Pokemon the show has focused on. Honestly, I am glad we got a break from the battles. Most important part this episode was the introduction to the Team Flare stuff. Either the battle ends in interference or we get a clean finish but immediately afterward Team Flare attacks. I doubt TF will want to ruin a battle, especially since Lysandre is there and is thrilled to see Ash-Greninja. Shota reviewing footage of the Kalos League. It would be pretty cool if he got a rematch with Ash sometime after the TF arc and he legit beats Ash. New Ending song, co cute. Throwback to way back in the Indigo season where Pikachu first tried Ketchup lol |
 |
| Pikachu Song, totally did not expect that, LOL I wonder if anyone's able to understand Pika language and translate what Pikachu was really singing... |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| The episode after Satoshi and Shota's epic finale. I got a huge smile on my face when Joy told Satoshi good luck in the final. I still can't believe this is happening. Yancham and Harimaron at it again. Ain't no way that damn cookie rolled into the city from where they were. Manon meets Harimaron. Trova recognizes Harimanon. Of course. Manon finally meets Satoshi and the gang. Ah, so it's a "bond phenomenon". Guess the bond between Lizardon and Satoshi was weak. Of course Alan is only training Lizardon. Pachira oppai and booty are on point. Shota finally broke down, but got over it. Satoshi getting his Pokemon hyped for tomorrow. I still can't believe Satoshi didn't get Lizardon back for the war. Switch Numelgon or Onvern(Got the most L's) out for Lizardon and that would have been his best team. It was the perfect set up. Fleur meets Satoshi. Pressuring Satoshi to say yes. Fleur plotting. This is it. The final battle. Alan(Yuya) vs Satoshi(Bakura). Who will win? Tsuzuku. The Pikachu Anthem! |
| 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). |
| Wow, poor Chespin got lost after following food LOL! At least Mairin found him and then Trevor, Tierno and Shauna found her with him and somehow Trevor managed to tell it was Clemont's Chespin, although how when they all pretty much look the same I have no idea lol. I was like "how'd he know?" lol. That was interesting to see all of them meet Mairin who bizarelly doesn't want to wish Alain luck before the final. Yes Mairin, I'm sure the mega energy will help Chespy and the world ... silly girl. "The Bond Phenonmenom" seems like a cool thing, so it's because they have so much trust in each other and some hidden power or something in Greninja, cool. Lysandre meeting Ash and saying he wants to speak to him later about his Greninja, he clearly has some nasty plans of some sort to use the power like the mega evolution energy power. Also, what is he getting his henchmen to do in the city and closing the gym for? also Z2 et al, what are they doing with them all there? Will Z1/Squishy come to their aid and rescue them? Alain and Charizard training was cool. |
