What is it?

Basically was the KL team the best team he’s ever used (as opposed to say the vs Paul team or vs Tobias team)?

I see. :)

Yeah :(. We basically got reserves at the Battle Frontier because of FRLG promotion and reserves at the SL because of HGSS promotion. There were no remakes during BW and Sawyer covered the ORAS promotion, so they didn’t bother.

I swear I would pay money to see episodes dedicated to the daily lives of Ash’s older Pokémon at Oak’s lab.

It would be better than watching an endless journey with Ash never winning a league.

1) vs Alain Kalos League
2) vs Paul Sinnoh League
3) vs Brandon final battle
4) vs Gary Johto League
5) vs Drake Orange League

Yeah that sounds about right :-).

I posted it in amino :-). Now that I think about it these 5 battles provide a very nice summary of Ash’s progression in trainer skill :-D.

Yeah. She's pretty crazy xD

Are you watching anything that’s currently airing?

Not really, except for Dragon Ball Super English dubbed

SS looked pretty cool though I doubt we can really use that as a power scaling feat. I would’ve preferred if we got a legitimate battle between Lycanroc and an Ultra Beast though I guess getting what’s basically a contest/performance appeal round is fine. I wonder if we’ll ever get a proper UB battle :-/.

Well it wasn't an exact battle for sure but Splintered Stormshards did weaken/subdue the UBs for the Ultra Guardians enough to catch them. Well of course the dazzling combo would leave even Top Coordinators/Kalos Queen Aria in shame! :p

Anyway...yeah, I wonder when they will give us a proper UB fight! I bet they could probably do it against Guzzlord.

That'd be a better way of summing up the rivalry between the Masked Royal's Incineroar and Ash's Torracat. A much better way than having Torracat battle against it again a have it suffer the embarrassment of another loss.

Electivire got another vote! Maybe it could be a close call even here as well.

Amusingly PBF brought up an older poll over here where Torterra beat Elecitivre by 1 vote except I had voted for Torterra in that poll, so retroactively Electivire wins that poll as well :-).

Well more like Lycanroc has been bumped up :-D!

I would say that the biggest flaw I have noticed so far is the lack of classical music during space battles which imo was astounding while the current ost is quite generic. The CGI on the other hand looks pretty dope. Well I hope it stays like that and why not improve in future seasons.

Yeah I already knew about that Pokémon battle channel. The fact that they’re equating lvls makes it widely inaccurate. The Yu-Gi-Oh! duels on the other hand were lit :D! Btw have you seen any of the irl YGH voice actor duels (both Jap and Eng)?

Yeah,I have,those were pretty amazing as well.Gotta love dream matches.

Yeah; I wish they took more advantage of the dream matchup opportunities in Arc - V. I’m still salty that we never got a Jack vs Kite duel.

I just watched the episode once again with subs and sorted out the Red Eyes thing even better now. Lycanroc has now learnt to control its Red Eyes state, and now whenever it activates its Red Eyes state, it gets a boost in its power, instead on loosing control. Nanu and Ash both stated this in the episode.

Now I do wonder that how much of a boost Lycanroc gets from that Red Eyes mode and how much stronger Red Eyes Lycanroc is than Base Lycanroc.

That’s something for which we’ll need more feats to determine.

Yeah that makes sense. Good to know that it’s confirmed :-).

Yeah. With 2 UBs duking it out with each other I hope this episode would have some serious/intense action implemented in it instead of the ridiculous comical ways there are finding to deal with UBs(like they did with Buzzwole and Celesteela).

I see. Maybe it's the case then, but I guess I'd need to re-watch the duel once again and examine it carefully to make an assesment of what would have happened.

If that's truly the case then I guess Raphael really deserves a lot of credit for the win in that duel.

Regardless the narrative point was that Atem shouldn’t have been so obsessed with needing to win since nothing would have happened had he lost that duel without SoO being active. Raphael is impressive for being able to score a credible win over (non God cards) Atem.

Maybe like:
1) Vs Mother Beast Nihilego
2) Vs Lysandre/Alain
3) Vs Tobias's Latios
4) Vs Brandon's Regice
5) Vs Korrina's Lucario
6) Vs Jessie's Mimikyu

Yeah the only other feats where it might be debatable are vs Annabel2, Lucy, Sawyer KL and Paul SL though that still keeps the Mimikyu feat in the TOP 10.

Anabel, Lucy, Sawyer KL, Paul SL are impressive, but I have a strong feeling that how powerful Mimikyu was portrayed throughout the battle+it's hatred powering it up constantly, a signature Z-move(supposed to generally superior to type Z-moves) should have possibly upper end Tier 1 like viability or maybe even higher, I get a feeling that this feat is likely superior to those.

fantastic. yeah your signup is good. WT said he might start the game with 9 contestants if we don't get 14 btw

Well so far we seem to have 10, so only 4 more to go. I admit that I’d be pretty interested in a Pokémon “reality tv” series.

well one of the people who signed up has been MIA since March so we likely need 5 more if they don't come back

yeah same, that would be an interesting mix lol

How do you know this?

It's mentioned in the new summary that came out, the summary and voice cast of the next episode always comes before the day an episode is about to air.

http://www.pocketmonsters.net/forum/threads/6630?p=12449#forumPost12449

Ah, so the thread has been revived and surprisingly....it's not even closed! O_O

that quickly? damn

and it's closed. that's all folks

As for the game itself I'm not really sure what to think of it at this point. I'm not sure I like the idea of it being in Kanto but then again it could possibly be a chance to upgrade the storyline and maybe actually make a subplot for Mewtwo and Mew.

Or it could be a spin off for all we know

IIRC apparently in the new games both Red and Blue will be our rivals while we’re a new character, so they do seem to be updating the storyline. 1 thing I’m curious about is how much generation diversity will there be (a.k.a how prevalent will Pokémon from other gen be)? Like for example if I play the Eevee edition, would I be able to evolve my Eevee into Leafeon or Sylveon if I felt like it?

I think all the Eevee evolutions will be available at one point. They did include mega evolution for Hoenn Pokémon in ORAS and evolutions like Togekiss in HG/SS as well as some Hoenn/Sinnoh Pokémon post game iirc

Well even before Lycanroc activated red eyes rage mode Krookodile still was holding off Lycanroc pretty comfortably, though without red eyes rage mode activating the battle could've been a bit closer than it was. My guess is somewhere between B+ to A-.

Interesting; I was thinking somewhere from A- to A (it honestly seemed like Nanu and Krookodile were just toying with Ash and DL). At the very least Nanu didn’t seem to be taking the battle too seriously. Speaking of which Nanu does seem to be a good deal above Hala and Olivia.

Well, if Nanu was just toying with Ash and Lycanroc, then....yeah, likely A- to A. Yeah, there isn't any doubt that Nanu is quite above Hala and Olivia. :)

Nope; this is the first I’m hearing of it. Maybe they could have a Kanto arc after the league where Lillie takes on the gym challenge with Ash serving as her mentor. It probably won't have much impact but a guy can dream right :-).

Yeah, when I saw it for the first time, I got small panic attack thinking it will be Gen 8 opener xd, like related to Gen 8. Then I found out that it wouldn't be related to Gen 8. I am like thank God. Lol xd. Abut anime I was thinking since Giovanni is in action what if Necrozma arc's main setting is in Kanto?

Or another theory is that they'd have again small arc in Kanto or as you said Lillie taking gym challenge in Kanto. If it's Necrozma arc then my theory about league being finished before 2019 may be true,( if those let's go Eevee/Pikachu launch in N/D 2018 or early 2019) so we can have more than 6 months for Necrozma arc and fillers between.
