Kaleido Star FOREVER in my heart <3
It will be cool to see Diantha's and Cynthia's full Pokemon team from the games
I starting to think that too. Makes you wonder why they added it to Ash's team in the first placeDracovish is this seasons Oshawott... both have a terribly lame move in their arsenal for the most prestigious tournament (Water Gun for Fish and Tackle for Oshawott).
Also, I wonder if they just hate animating the thing... it's never used much and most of it's battles are relatively quick
Animage: What is it like drawing the more simple pokemon, from an animator's perspective?
Iwane: The simple characters are easier to animate and you're therefore able to use more drawings per character. But pokemon with words like "Mega" or "Primal" in front of their names have a lot of lines and are therefore a lot more difficult to draw. The difference between producing ten drawings of Pikachu and producing ten drawings of Mega Rayquaza is night and day. From a purely drawing point of view there is that part of us that's happy when we're given the more simple characters to draw.
Animage: Shows where you can really enjoy watching the characters' movements is kind of limited in this day and age. Pokemon is one of the few modern shows where the audience can still do that and you're the one who's the best at it.
Iwane: Thank you very much. As you said, watching the way things move is what's so interesting about animation. And in animation the drawings are just one part of the incredibly complex machine that makes up the overall picture. That's why, when I think about the way things are now vs. the way they were back in my day, I think things are harder now. Let's look at robots, for example. I drew robots when I was working on the Brave series but that series generally didn't use any kind of shadowing or shading, you know? And even though these days the number of hand-drawn mechas have decreased the ones that are still being done look fantastic. I remember feeling amazed that they put in so much detail with the hand-drawn animation when I watched Gundam Build Fighters (2013).
I wouldn't be surprised either. Sirfechted and Dracovish aren't used that often. It is mostly Lucario,Dragonite and Gengar. Maybe easier to animate? Less detailed?The more lines a Pokemon has the more time-consuming it is to animate, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if there was a general mood of "perhaps we made a mistake adding this to Satoshi's team".
Gengar is just a big ball with small arms, so this might really be a reason why it features in so many battles lately.I wouldn't be surprised either. Sirfechted and Dracovish aren't used that often. It is mostly Lucario,Dragonite and Gengar. Maybe easier to animate? Less detailed?
I mean animation Sirfechteds sword and shield is a pain in the butt each time it battles and Dracovish is so weird to animate in generalGengar is just a big ball with small arms, so this might really be a reason why it features in so many battles lately.
They showed that they can still have some versatility with Sirfetch'd such as when he used his shield as a projectileI mean animation Sirfechteds sword and shield is a pain in the butt each time it battles and Dracovish is so weird to animate in general
yh u can definitely tell that the animators enjoy animating it since they use a lot of squash and stretch features on itGengar is just a big ball with small arms, so this might really be a reason why it features in so many battles lately.
Still wonder why it isnt used as much.They showed that they can still have some versatility with Sirfetch'd such as when he used his shield as a projectile
Yeah. Dracovish is the new Goodra at the league, calling it now. I mean Ash's Goodra, not Diantha’s lol.
Judging by what the leaker is saying the Leon and Diantha is rather quick. Goodra and Rillaboom are fighting and possible Gardevior and Charizard and I guess that’s about it.
Hopefully the score board has a few grays on Leon’s side but I wish the writers wouldn’t make it a point to show Leon dominating other trainers if this is the sitch.

A missed opportunity to let Goodra train Dracovish/Dragonite... Well it would explain why it jobs so much lately..Since Ash technically "released" his Goodra, Diantha gave herself the liberty of going to the Wetlands and catching it for herself. Meanwhile, Leon went ahead and got Greninja.
Wish she used Hydregion instead of Dragonite and gave Lance an Aerodactyl. Yeah it probably would still lose to Milotic but it would be something new for her.
Bruh she had a Hydregion this entire time. I hate it here. I guess the leaker was right about Diantha using Goodra. Hawlucha is here as well.
This person predicted this right
So apparently Cynthia owns a Togekiss
So Cynthia has like... 10 Pokémon to choose from. I wonder what's her actual team.
