June 17th: PM2019 115 - The Curtain Rises! The Masters Tournament!!

[Blood Red]

...Then...you know...why not bring her here.

That's like telling your friend not to come but you'll take their friendship bracelet instead, but there really is no reason for this to be happening.

'It's JN' is the only answer you'll ever need

 

[Dragneelo]

Bro why are there two Johtoos lmfao

Johto got no promotion , so @Johtoo decided to make two account is to make sure the Johto pandering goes right

One is You know who

Serena's crush doesn't matter, it will never progress more than that...a crush.
Greninja's form was retconned into aura bond, lazy writing.
Alain is just another martyr to remind people (other than every single episode he is in) that Leon is the strongest, unbeatable, undeniable, unstoppable and supreme trainer in the world.

I really think the anti-XY theories of Tomiyasu hating XY are still dumb but I can't lie, some of these decisions over these specific characters/plots are suspicious to say the least.

 

[Evstike]

Wait yeah, ignore everything I said. Since 116 was fake, the entire staff list about Yajima working SB should be bullshit as well.

Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed Yajima isn't storyboarding but I think it's for the best that 116 was fake. As an Alain fan, an entire episode of Alain getting owned by Leon would hurt and the rest of that staff list didn't look all that promising. I don't know what to say about the way he's being handled. I hope Yajima gets to board one of these battles.

On a side note, I'm only really able to identify ADs/animators and not so much directors/SBs so I wouldn't have been able to give you an answer anyways. What we've seen in the previews looks good for JN standards so I'm not too concerned about any of that. Looking forward to some Oshida cuts next week if my eyes aren't deceiving me.

Maybe a certain man at the Battle Frontier sporting a floral shirt, shorts, and sunglasses can give you an answer

It's not my account ...

 

[Jiffunk]

They really should’ve saved the ash vs iris battle until the masters tournament

 

[DrewHLMW]

so is alain gonna lose in 5 minutes in this episode cause the preview shows the battle starts this episode and next episode is a new battle.

 

[DayQuil95]

One is You know who

Of course... Team Rocket with their disguises again!

 

[Blue Saturday]

Ugh, this is the perfect time to play each Champion’s specific theme from the game but I just know they won’t.

 

[Sham]

Honestly if the leaks are true and Diantha is using… whatever she’s using along with Ash using Pikachu then Emolga better make her debut. Especially since Cynthia has Milotic.

Poor Gastrodon. Never was used after that battle

 

[Rohanator]

Most champion themes never got anime versions so yea, the anime never really makes music for one specific event anyway (even when a specific character's theme gets adapted it'll get used for a bunch of other scenes as well usually way before said character even appears like Lysandre in XY and the Regis in AG) so I don't expect anything new that can't already be heard on Hayashi's 2nd CD release, anime music is made in batches once or twice for a series not on the fly.

Replace every theme with Zinnia 's theme and it'll be all good
Srsly that theme gets me jiving, it's literally the most hype theme imo. Delta episode is really underrated

 

[Sham]

It’s so weird how only Diantha really appears the closest to her anime adaption while the others you can tell are in JN art style

With saying that imagine if the played a Champions theme right before the lost/won

Honestly Leon probably has the best so hopefully his at least comes on.

 

[Ragnarok4]

Serena's crush wasn't erased.

The universe was conveniently doing everything in its power to keep Serena from ever seeing AND thinking about Ash in that episode.

Thank God Wallace stopped Ash all along, I support Amourshipping but we don't need those fandom freaks again flooding the internet with their cringe - self-inserted stuff because Serena Kisses Ash again, blushes or something

 

[Mr.Munchlax]

I'm kind of hoping the Chesnaught Alain's using in this match ends up being Chespie. Not only does it show that Chespie's been getting stronger since XYZ, but it'd be sweet since Maron's letting Alain borrow her pokemon for the Masters 8

 

[Morax]

One is You know who

There shall be no scott slander as long as i breathe.

 

[Zoruagible]

Ah the Chesnaught line, doomed to be jobbers.

the show didn't want to spend its limited time introducing a character who isn't needed

That's Goh in a nutshell lol

 

[BlueDragonfangirl]

I love that Ash has an opportunity to meet and catch up with the other Master Class trainers before the competition starters.

I hope he gets to interact with Alan.
