Imagine that, I'd love to pretend that JN is entirely disconnected from OS -> XY. Even better if SM is also in this 'new' JN continuity.
Plot-twist, XY is actually the disconnected universe and is actually part of the Yajima movie-verse (Yajimaverse confirmed!
)
But hey, if at least amour become canon in one of Yajima's future potential movies, I'm still all for it.
They removed Greninja from the OP and replaced him with Mega Lucario. They are trying to make Lucario replace Greninja and I’m disgusted. WTF.
I mean, Lucario is Ash's ace of this season. We're now past the golden age of Ash-Greninja and he did play a significant role in mentoring Lucario. I think that should be enough.
TBF, all they’ve done is that MLucario vs GMAXZard battle is confirmed, and the opening changes to include new details for foreshadowing.
So I wouldn’t rule out greninja, the alola team (and some reserves) returning (yet).
And no, I’m all out of copium kekw
True, OPs can be deceiving sometimes. They may spoil some fights but there are times where OPs also covers some actual fights in the anime. If anything, this OP kinda spoils the Ash vs Leon fight. That leaves a possibility of Ash using Greninja against Alain (IF they actually fight which I'm hoping for to say the least. Ash-Greninja needs that sweet revenge and closure)
Ok, now I'm starting to wonder if there's certain people in the current production team that actually doesn't like XY and prefer DP and SM. I can't even imagine the shitshow if Ash stays for SV and the series somehow manages to be worse than the previous two series, maybe even surpassing BW. God these writers can come across as spiteful hacks at times.
I wouldn't rule out the possibility that there is certain bias towards the SM cast, particularly Lillie since the acting director is the same director for SM but I wouldn't say that there is a certain dislike towards XY. XY is heavily represented in this season. We got Korrina, her Lucario, Clemont and Bonnie, Drasnna, Serena's surprise cameo, Greninja and now Alain and Diantha being part of the Masters 8 (which makes Kalos having two representatives). XY fans have been treated well with all these cameos.
Why tf are y'all derailing a Ash x Serena thread with a debate about A-G retcons? That should be in AniPoke speculation...
lmao, happens a lot of time in this thread in the past. Heck, it happened in the first two Amour thread that if I remember correctly what made the MODs to step in and had to close them down. But yeah, I think such discussion should be done in the speculation thread.
JN is playing with fire if they retcon Amourshipping and Ash-Greninja because they have a lot of vocal fans and the backlash would be worse than the Kalos League
Part of me still hopes that they will address these two at some point before JN ends (They're probably reserving them to build hype or something). Of course, this is mere speculation but I feel AG will still appear if Ash ever battle Alain and Serena still has a chance to return on one of Ash's fight against the Masters 7.
