I think Go will eventually catch a Mew, and that will be the opportunity to show Genesis Supernova in the anime.

I would say yes, because Incineroar bothered to learn a Fire-type move for this battle. If yes, I think that means Koko uses Guardian of Alola, since Pikachu is absolutely using 10MV Thunderbolt and two mirror move matches in a row would be weird.

It was fun in Alola because of the novelty, but if you turn TR into rivals that limits their comic relief opportunities. I'd like to see them succeed more often, though. So maybe challenging one Gym and winning a badge would be cool, like the Dark-type one.

Don't quote me on this, but I've heard secondhand info from the GameInformer interview that suggests GameFreak gets more profit from Pokemon merchandise than the games they work on. If this is true, it confirms what we've long suspected: the games are something of a loss-leader that gives birth...

I was just going to chime in that during the segment when Ash releases Naganadel, it's portrayed like Ash is the villain. Showing off a rare ball, having reaction shots galore from the viewers, releasing a rare Pokemon and having the Xerneas/Yveltal legendary battle music play, is something more...

Ash didn't bring up the Thunderstone he got in Electric Shock Showdown for...like 300 episodes? By that measure, we can expect Lillie to evolve Vulpix sometime between now and 2028.

It's the same pattern in each of those middle movies: someone dies, then the Mythical (Mew/Manaphy/Victini) use their powers to bring the deceased back to life. I'd argue if you say Mew revived everyone, Manaphy/Victini did so as well, it's just that drowning and freezing/suffocating is a much...

Ash died: M01 - Mewtwo Strikes Back M08 - Lucario and the Mystery of Mew M09 - Pokemon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea M14 - Victini and Reshiram/Zekrom M20 - I Choose You EP023 - The Tower of Terror Pikachu died: M17 - Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction EP023 - The Tower of Terror

Ash deaths: 6 Pikachu deaths: 2 Goku deaths: 2 Keep in mind, Dragon Ball has an readily available method for reviving the dead, and DB is supposed to be a much more dangerous universe than Pokemon.

You realize that there are "how to watch Pokemon" guides out there which specifically highlight the Gym Battles and league battles, right? Yes, many people do only watch for the Gym Battles and League, and yes in sports, it's very common for people to ignore the regular season and only watch the...

Team Flare was intended to upstage the Pokemon League as the culminating event of the XY anime. It wasn't simply a matter of coexistence, like in prior regions such as Sinnoh and Unova. Tetsuo Yajima wanted Team Flare to be more important than the main hook of the franchise. This is the first...

Team Flare and the Mega Evolution episodes are synonymous with Alain. They all outflow from the same problem.

It didn't "almost happened", he literally did die and awoke in limbo. He was lucky that he happened to die on the mountain of reincarnation.

Those are the very qualities that make AG good. If you add those storylines to the region, the adventure and Pokemon League become a vehicle for settling those storylines, so the competition feels less spontaneous and more overtly scripted. Few people care about the overall team or league in...

To be fair, Hapu's implication was that Mohn wasn't in Alola. His reveal as Lusamine's husband in USUM was meant as a twist for those familiar with him from SM. Since Lusamine has a different attitude in the anime, having him be in Alola might be seen as a cop-out. Lillie, Gladion always had...

It's disappointing, but that is basically the ONLY plotline that didn't get resolved. SM answered everything else. Even seeing Dia again is as easy as Ash looking into a mirror.

So...is this the final episode? Or are we getting specials after this?

It's really not, though. "Pocket Monsters" is clearly a literal and spiritual successor, even if it doesn't directly carry on where SM leaves off. Prior to the poster and concept reveal, people were expecting a rollback to XY in art style and tone. I imagine extending the "hated", "hideous"...

Literally the first YouTube hit is a video from The Canipa Effect which shows exactly how the animation is different, and it does not pull just from the Brock/Misty episode. The fact that you can cherry pick well-animated scenes from ordinary SM episodes but have to pull from specific Gym Leader...

The Pokemon anime is intended for children, not hyper obsessive fans. Hitting on simple personality beats doesn't take a lot of time, as the Kukui battle is showing. This doesn't happen for most of Ash's fully evolved Pokemon because they don't have personality to begin with. Unless we're...
