Glad that Cara Liss appeared. I was afraid she'd get omitted. I wish there was a better pic of her (since PokeSpe scans are now so few and far between, it may take some time before we get one...)
By the way, who is that elderly guy on the fourth scan, in the lowest panel on the left? Is he by...
Any hopes about serialized ORAS?
I'd love to see more from the Gym Leaders and Elite Four. They felt badly shoehorned in the magazine version.
However, I'm afraid that PokeSpe is too behind to add too much actual new content. Most new chapters will likely be focused on showing unseen...
I'm glad about 6v6 Battles, but it only makes me more mad that they made Lance lose against Diantha.
Diantha's full team isn't interesting at all. I'm just expecting her XY Champion Battle team. I do have some silent hope that they may replace Hawlucha (since we've had enough of Hawluchas -...
I already feel sorry for Diantha...
Won't be surprised if Zarderino does all the job. My only hope for this episode: to see one more Pokemon of Diantha's.
Seeing all those scenes and merchandise featuring the Final Eight Trainers and only their ace Pokemon makes me worried that the entire Final Eight will be based on quick 1-on-1 Battles and we're gonna see nothing more than their aces for most of them. This is a pity, since they're the Champions...
My predictions for the final matches (considering that it's a Tournament format, though I still have a little hope for Round-Robin format).
Quarterfinals:
Ash vs. Iris - Ash wins
Alain vs. Steven - Alain wins
Leon vs. Lance - Leon wins
Cynthia vs. Diantha - Cynthia wins
Semifinals:
Ash vs...
I wonder what system will the battles be held.
If it's a tournament with quarter-finals, semi-finals and the final, then I guess Ash's opponents are obvious - Iris, Alain and Leon, probably in this order. The rest seem to be just "background NPCs" and they seem to be there mostly for flavor.
I...
This work feels underappreciated, which is sad considering Coronis's great contributions to the Pokemon manga fandom.
The art is nice, smooth and feels quite "real". Also, Coronis's great understanding of the series sure helps. While the dream of an official Pokemon Special-based animation...
Drake? Wow, didn't expect that.
Of course, I'd prefer if they showed someone else from Hoenn Elite Four, but after 90 episodes I don't expect Journeys to debut any not-seen-before game character anymore. It's deluded at this point. But still, Drake is nice.
Except she had both in DP, so that's no indication.
Let's be true, Snover pretty much confirms DP teams. Any other option possibility is very unlikely at this point. If they did anything with the Gym Leader teams, then getting rid of repeated mons (by "repeats" I also mean Pokemon from the same...
Glad that Chatelaines appeared, pity they feel so shoehorned. Maybe they'll get some more screentime in future volume?
Also, those Gurkinn's successors with Megas (apparently known as "Mega Evolution brothers"?) have names - Peeshu-kun (ペーシュくん) - the Medicham one, Iire-kun (イーレくん) - the...
For another time, I hate the fact that the episode takes place in some nondescript location that's supposed to be Johto. Couldn't they set it somewhere near Mt. Moon (maybe show Mt. Moon Square for the first time?) or in the Ruins of Alph, if Unown are involved. That would be in Johto and would...
I don't see how the content of the game is an obstacle in creating pre-release hype.
It's not like the pre-release coverage of previous remakes was that centered around new content. Most of pre-release stuff was new artworks and presentation of familliar characters, plots and mechanics. Some new...
So, there is this bonus for preordering the Double Pack in some select shops in France. You can get two of each Apricorn Balls in the game, among other goodies.
Why am I posting this, if the whole thing looks France-exclusive (didn't find any evidence of such bonus in other countries) and this...
This looks... pretty promising, I must say.
I am especially happy with how many "alternate animes" we got this gen. Poketoons, Twilight Wings, the GOTCHA video (if it counts) and now this. I hope the trend continues and we will be getting more of these in the future. Especially that 2022 will...
I have mixed feelings about the fact that the region is named Hisui.
At one hand, I like it, because it's a reference to how the real-life Hokkaido was also renamed. Before 1869, its name was Ezo.
At the other hand, I feel that they did it to throw most of the present/past equivalencies out of...
I have a feeling that the Journeys series is backing out from its "multi-regional" format. I mean, they are not even trying to reference past games and series anymore.
First we got the Cresselia/Darkrai two-parter set in some random unnamed town in Sinnoh, now they're giving us some non-existent...
