Mega Evolution Special- Golden Magikarp Episode- Okay I dislike the writers for this episode. I have no idea why they thought this was the best thing they could come up with. I for one would've preferred most definitely an episode revolving around Fletchling/Froakie if Ash/Serena/Clemont MUST NOT catch another Pokemon yet, or evolve. Fletchling getting another battle win, would've been far preferred. The thing that makes this worse is Team Rocket are involved. If we viewers have to deal with Team Rocket, it shouldn't be pointless filler episodes. But that's from my perspective who knows what this episode will be about. Amaura * Aurorus Episode- Now, there is some indication that Ash MIGHT catch Amaura (Amaura seems very friendly towards Ash), in other forums I have seen there being some doubt to this because of the relationship it has with Aurorus. My thoughts on that are this: 1. We DO NOT know what the relationship is between Amaura vs Aurorus is (at this moment in time). There is no proof except the possible title that they are in anyway related. It doesn't make any logical sense anyway, since I highly doubt the nature of a family Aurora would have fossils together or even separate. If I'm not mistaken, NOT every ancient Pokemon has a fossil. 2. The title cannot be used as evidence, because even if it makes sense the bond refers to Amaura and Aurorus there could be MANY other interpretations. For example the Aurora bond could be between Amaura and Ash, like how an Aura bond would be between Riolu/Lucario and Ash from the DP series. Or it could refer to Aurorus having an adverse feeling towards humans, and it eventually grows to like and trust them with the exception of Team Rocket. But of course I do accept the possibility it refers to Amaura and Aurorus. However as I suggested, it doesn't make much sense, they don't need a bond. But whatever happens will be fine. Ash vs Grant Episode- I've accepted that Ash was going to choose Pikachu the moment that I realized Ash was only going to have Fletchling and Froakie with Pikachu as his available Pokemon. However I do disagree with Pikachu starring. If you knew me, you would know, that I absolutely despise Pikachu being overused. But I've accepted Pikachu here, what I have a problem though is it being Pikachu that earns Ash his Cliff (I think) Badge. Serena vs Millie Episode- A Serena focused episode is always welcome in my books, because of how little Serena has been getting, with the exception of the PokeVision episode that aired recently. Slurpuff will be appearing which is nice, but right now, only a PokePuff fight between the girls is not too promising, I hope we actually get a Pokemon battle, even if Fennekin loses. Flabebe Episode- Anyone who has any idea who Bonnie is should always agree that Bonnie does not need anything except Dedenne. And let me clarify. I'm not saying Bonnie SHOULD ONLY have Dedenne by the end of the series (though I would prefer it), what I am saying is BONNIE does not need anything RIGHT NOW. Flabebe is really tiny (forgive me Pokemon fans for thinking Ash should catch something so tiny, just because I have a bias towards Florges) and could be reasonably acceptable. But right now, until something else happens, Serena needs a new Pokemon far more than Bonnie. Because let's look at a common argument: Serena should not get a Pokemon unless she has a goal. While I would point out that Iris's goal was to become a dragon master and yet still ended up with Emolga and Excadrill, and Cilan is a grass trainer in the games, and I think he has a preference towards grass Pokemon in the anime but also has Stunfisk and Crustle, and Clemont expressed his electric Pokemon love has Bunnelby and Chespin. Even though I can point that out while saying that a goal does not entirely determine one's Pokemon team, I will accept it as a possible excuse for why Serena doesn't have any other Pokemon except Fennekin. HOWEVER, I must protest that argument being used against Serena while accepting Bonnie to have Flabebe is a huge logical clusterjam. To think Serena a trainer needs a goal to have another Pokemon while accepting Bonnie who doesn't have a goal and is NOT a trainer needs/should have another Pokemon is if I'm not mistaken a complete double standard. I know if I was on another forum, I would get blasted for that, since I've argued that double standard implies a degree of equality and that can't really apply to Serena and Bonnie, I'm using double standard to describe the unfair preferential treatment of Bonnie over Serena in this case. In this case, while Serena is a trainer and Bonnie is not, inflating Bonnie's role to a higher standard than what she is, while deflating Serena's role to a lesser standard is why it would be a double standard in this case. Basically if you think Bonnie needs to have another Pokemon, Flabebe, probably because you prefer Bonnie over Serena, then it makes NO sense to say that Serena needs to have a goal to have another Pokemon. If Bonnie a non-trainer who doesn't have a goal should have another Pokemon, then it shouldn't matter what Serena is or isn't what she does or doesn't, Serena should get preferential treatment because SHE is a Trainer. SHE HAS a Pokemon. Keep in mind, Clemont CAUGHT Dedenne for Bonnie, Clemont would have to catch Flabebe for Bonnie. In my opinion, NO. I feel if anyone deserves Flabebe it should be Serena, just to give her a second Pokemon. However there is that one issue. Flabebe is just too small to give to anyone, I thought Flabebe would be bigger, and they might change that for future incidences. But if Flabebe is chilling in Bonnie's ear as some kind of flower behind the ear thing some girls have been known for, no one should get Flabebe. I just can't imagine it doing very much. Sure I get that Flabebe and Joltik are the tiniest Pokemon, but this is one that I just cannot see happening. Diantha vs Ash Episode- I will say this. Yay for Diantha. Boo for Team Rocket. Yay for Mega Gardevoir Boo for Team Rocket. Also Boo on Ash most likely using Pikachu against Diantha (seem my rant in the rant thread why I dislike Pikachu so much) Imposter Episode- Boo for Team Rocket (I don't hate or dislike Team Rocket, I hate when the writers use them for crutches for otherwise irrelevant episodes, if Team Rocket is involved it better be for a reason, not just to add some antagonistic force to an episode). But Yay for having a fairly unique creative episode. Even if its team rocket, this episode should garner some laughs. Korinna Episode- Well, my only hope for this episode, is that Korinna shows off Hawlucha, otherwise this episode gets a 'meh" to me. I mean I like mega evolution, and Korinna isn't too bad of a person, but for me who likes Ash and his Pokemon, I'm not sure if Froakie or Fletchling will get any focus at all. Until the next spoiler happens or other thing to discuss happens. Bye. |

Skrelp and Dragalge episode- You writers. This has got to be the worst birthday episode ever. Sure it airs one day after my Birthday but I sure as hell am NOT looking forward to a LIKELY filler episode about Skrelp/Dragalge and some stupid underwater castle seabed bullcrap. I was REALLY hoping for the Gym battle. you writers.

Just wanted to let you know, there is a fairly cool trailer out there that starts off with a cool looking Hawlucha and then the trailer turns into a Korinna Mega Evolution slug-fest, pretty neat. |

There's a trailer for the Cyllage Gym Battle, Ash is using all his Pokemon while Grant is seemingly using Tyrunt and Onix. People over @ Serebii think it's a 2 vs 3, even though they haven't seen the episode, so it could easily be a 3 on 3. I can't wait until it is a 3 on 3, and laugh at people who thought differently. But of course it isn't going to be a 3 on 3, and people are going to laugh at me. |

Alright, some serious discussion needs to happen. But first it's 99.99% confirmed Ash is indeed catching a Hawlucha. It will be 100% confirmed when the episode of its capture occurs, it seems incredibly likely to be XY034, we will see, especially with Ash's Fletchling also 99.99% confirmed to evolve. Two team changes so close together, WHAT IS XY DOING (Joke) XY030- Introduction to Lucario and Mega Lucario (I think) or at the very least some Mega Evolution stuff is happening, should be good, since I do plan on watching the Korinna episodes. XY031- One issue that I am foreseeing is how much this Korinna, Mega evolution arc is so focused ON HER, I mean it's great but at the same time, the last team chance for Ash and co was Dedenne, and Serena has YET to capture a single Pokemon, relying solely on Fennekin, something is amiss here, and I'm not liking it. After all Ash had 4 Pokemon BEFORE he battle Brawly, but he's taking so long to get Hawlucha. Anyway I also dislike how apparently THIS Blaziken in this episode is different than Meyer's Blaziken. I mean it makes sense, BUT at the same time, WHY Blaziken? Why not Houndoom? XY032- I believe this episode revolves around Korinna battling her grandfather, however I question the logic of giving her grandfather a Lucario just like Korinna. I disagree with it because even if her Grandfather may have had a Lucario in the games (even though I don't think it ever said), I don't like how Lucario is being overplayed in the anime, and not belonging to one of the main characters. It just shows how idiotic the writers, and executive producers are. Shoving Lucario down our throats is one thing, NOT having it be the result of a MAIN Character having one is quite frankly retarded (just the choice of doing things like this) XY033- Seems like the conclusion of Korrina battling her Grandfather, seems like she might win (or possibly lose), but where does this leave Korrina's gym leader status, especially with Ash having a Hawlucha and Korrina being some mega evolution evolved. I smell Pikachu's involvement, and I already have a bad feeling. I swear if the gym battle isn't about Hawlucha, Fletchinder, and Froakie, I'm going to be SUPER PISSED. Pikachu can sit on its ass until it stars against Clemont which we ALL know its going to do. |

Seems like I was wrong, episode titles, and summaries make me want to clarify some things. XY030- Aired Today and has content (watch the episode on your time), seems like Lucario technically didn't mega evolve, but I think it was brought up the mega evolution process and mentioning a Mega Lucario XY031- I was wrong on this one, Lucarionite is found here in the cave and Lucario has to battle a Blaziken owned by a woman to claim it, at least I think that's what the summary implied. XY032- I was partially wrong here, yes this is about Korinna battling her grandfather, but given the preview and summary this is a test that goes awry because Lucario cannot control its mega aura powers. XY033- Since I was partially wrong about XY032, I'm more wrong than right about XY033, it's not about overcoming her grandfather in battle it's about overcoming Lucario's inability to control its power. XY034, I don't know what THIS episode is about technically BUT I assume its the end result of Lucario controlling its mega aura and battling Mega Mawile and the conclusion. Or at least it better be a conclusion to this mega evolution arc otherwise the writers can suck their own d**ks while their wives can suck mine, and I don't mean to be rude or harsh but I call straight out Bull**** on this. 5 ****ing episode revolved around Korinna and Lucario and ****ing mega evolution, and the writers are too ****ing lazy otherwise to give us decent battle oriented arc tournaments. The Unova league sucked major balls (except for the battle with Stephan), and here we have more than a movie sized arc, all about Korinna and her Lucario and mega evolution, oh I smell the bull**** and it is STRONG. This is what pisses me off so much, about the Pokemon anime, they prove they can actually have a well thought out arc plan and yet they can't deliver when it actually matters the most. None of these episode are likely to revolve around Ash getting a badge so quite frankly Korinna and Lucario arc while I'm sure is really cool and awesome is otherwise irrelevant and doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. But when it comes to Ash and his battles, the writers are cheap and lazy and they just don't give a **** (interpret whatever curse word you want that to be) and his battles suck. When will the writers stop being biased against Ash. The Gym Battle against Viola was okay for the most part until it became a Pikachu fest, the Gym Battle with Grant was pretty damn average and suffered a meaningless Fletchling loss (yeah as if basic bird Pokemon can't do **** until they evolve, thank you insignificant Surskit win), and again it turned out to be a Pikachu Overglorify Fest, and YET we have 5 mostly irrelevant episodes that are technically well made, and most likely well thought out, and not once can Ash ever be treated like the writers DON'T hate his mere existence. Let's go back to Unova for a moment- Gym 1- Suffered the unbelievability of Oshawott beating Pansage Gym 2- Suffered the fandom training is unbelievable, Oshawott was fine, but no way could Tepig beat Herdier Gym 3- Sure there was cool Sewaddle action and evolving into Swadloon, but that was unbelievable and at the same time, Ash conveniently didn't have Tranquill and so he used Pikachu. Gym 4- Started off good until Palpitoad lost to Emolga and then it devolved into some horrible off character bullcrap just because Ash wanted to use Pokemon that weren't Pikachu, and Pikachu had to throw a fit, resulting in Pikachu being used anyway because MESSAGE RECEIVED writers, Ash is stupid when Pikachu isn't shoved down our throat. Gym 5- Nothing wrong with Clay but I'm sure Roggenrola could have at least attempted to use an attack before it evolved into Boldore. Gym 6- Nothing really wrong here, except Pikachu getting a senseless win (poor Krokorok) an well of course Tranquill evolved. Gym 7- Was pretty damn cool, but there are bound to be some exceptions, though I'm sure people had trouble believing Krokorok's win over Beartic....just because. Gym 8- Was bullcrap not as bad as Elesa, but still up there, I mean sure what COULD go wrong with a 3 vs 6 battle, where only Pikachu and Pignite get senseless wins, I mean Leavanny getting a win against Koffing was cool but Boldore, Unfezant and Palpitoad had to be treated like crap, right? Ash didn't win one battle tournament at all during Unova, always at best being runner up, and lets NOT get into the crapfest which is the Unova League (excluding Stephan of course). But back to the PRESENT, I'm supposed to believe that the writers can pull a mega evolution arc out their ass, showing at least SOME effort by the writers, but we still can't get some really cool battles involving Ash.....why? I mean would it kill any writer to write an episode where Ash battles a tough trainer and Pikachu ISN"T the star or focused Pokemon. Give Fletchling a win over a Nidorino for God's sake and let's have Froakie win some battles. Can't wait to see how Hawlucha will be treated like crap. |

Won't post anything in the main spoiler reveal thread until I get titles but it seems that Tierno/Shauna/Trevor will be appearing in the anime as some sort of summer camp arc of some kind. Shauna will have Bulbasaur, Tierno with Squirtle and Trevor with Charmander. Outside of that nothing new, except Xerneas will be showing up as well in some fashion or another, not sure if REAL appearance, Flashback, Statue or even photo. |

Two new titles have been revealed and I finally added a known title, because I had a severe brain fart, seriously, I cannot believe I forgot it. XY035- If it wasn't already obvious, Ash gets a Hawlucha in this episode (so sorry about the title delay). XY036- Ash sky battles some girl with a Talonflame with his Hawlucha, it is VERY likely that this episode will revolve around Fletchling evolving. Because if it didn't the writers done did stupid. Unless of course there's the miniscule possibility that it evolves in XY035, which seems highly unlikely at this point in time. Also a little disappointed about Talonflame debuting so soon. XY037- Can't judge without a summary or even some kind of preview, either this will creepy and awkward, or fun and enjoyable. Mirror Ash, only took 6 generations to do it. |

XY038- And there goes Ash with ever having Phantump. F*** you writers for giving Ash a Skiddo, or maybe I'm wrong, maybe Trevenant doesn't mean anything, but I really sure as hell don't believe this episode WON'T have Phantump in it. And maybe Ash won't get a grass type, but regardless, I f***ing give up on Ash's team (if Phantump shows up in this episode). It's clear to me that they are just too idiotic to even be allowed to give Ash Pokemon. I mean I don't know want to know F***ed up executive producer thought it was a good idea to give Ash the hypothetical team of: Pikachu, Froakie, Talonflame, Hawlucha, Litleo and Swirlix but this is straight bull****. God I want to be so wrong. Let's pray I am, and this is just an unnecessary rant. |

Okay Okay looks like I owe who I may have hurt an apology, Phantump did NOT appear in the episode. But still my concern was justified because it was my perspective opinion, thankfully it was wrong, but at the same time, still no guarantee it will happen. |

XY043- Mastery Tower! The History of Mega Evolution! Thoughts: I only pray Froakie is instrumental in this episode to make for the fact that it won't be used in the gym battle. But it's going to be stupid Pikachu as usual. XY044- Shalour Gym Battle! Pikachu vs Mega Lucario!! Thought- I really hate this Pikachu show that the anime producers have turned this show into. I mean I don't know why suddenly Pikachu is being shoved down my throat, but it is killing me (stress). I can't watch this show because they devolved into the Pikachu. FUCK YOU it's called Pokemon you stupid F***ing morons who forced Pikachu to be used constantly. But hey good news, we'll get to see Hawlucha and Fletchinder crash and burn against Mega Lucario just so Pikachu can get Ash 3 badges in a row. Hey guess what Froakie, Fletchinder, and Hawlucha, you are a complete waste of Ash's time, because the only Pokemon Ash needs is his precious f****ing Pikachu. Why the hell they just don't give Ash 5 more Pikachu is beyond my comprehension. But I don't appreciate the anime turning into the Pikachu show, it has pissed me off so much that I can't even enjoy the anime. And I like the anime because it was so cool to see Pokemon in a non video game constraint way. Not anymore because of f***ing Pikahu. Look I don't care about the stupid retarded argument that says Ash has to use Pikachu in every battle, because it's his most reliable. Let's face it, with the exclusion of Indigo League and the Johto League, it has always been Pikachu to cost him the league. Reliable for gyms and not important battles? Sure, but the reason he loses his gym battles is because Pikachu is Ash's only Pokemon that actually seems to be "strong." But the over-reliance of Pikachu just shows why Ash will never be the best, will never achieve his dream. Pikachu can be the strongest Pikachu in the world, but if you have Cynthia's Garchomp knocking it out in the first round, because Ash is too stupid to use a better Pokemon against a ground type then what the hell is Ash supposed to rely on? His Pokemon that are strong simply by raw power to do being fully evolved Pokemon? Like Charizard, Infernape and Krookodile? Or Pokemon that have to be strong because of their stature, like Snorlax? Secondly the argument is retarded....sorry I mean illogical, is Pikachu is going to be in every F****ing episode that isn't even up to date. But Ash's current generation Pokemon are not guaranteed to show up in every episode. Look at 5th generation, Ash's Palpitoad didn't even show up except 8 or 9 times, out of a series that was close to 150 episodes. But that's why Ash cannot overuse Pikachu because it makes no ****ing sense. God at this point I would kill to have Fletchinder being shoved down my throat, since it seems to be the screwed-over-this-generation-Pokemon. But hey maybe Hawlucha and Fletchinder will get a decent battle until the debacle of Pikachu vs Mega Lucario- which by the way Pikachu winning would be completely stupid, since I'm pretty ****ing sure that dance move tactics isn't going to change the fact that Fletchinder and Hawlucha have a better shot against Mega Lucario due to type advantage. Makes me wish Lucario was Ground/Fighting, let's see Pikachu beat Lucario then. XY045- Clemont VS Bonnie!? A Sibling Battle with Meowstic Thoughts- I'm not sure, the summary wasn't exactly helpful, but outside of a sibling episode, I'm not seeing much point in this episode. XY046-The Clumsy Wigglytuff vs the Rampaging Salamence! Thoughts- Might be interesting but could be complete and utter filler wasted illogically. But hey seeing Salamence might be interesting. XY047- Serena's First Capture!? Pancham vs Fennekin!! Thoughts- God, finally a much needed break......watch how Pikachu gets major focus ..... but hey Serena focused Pokemon episodes especially Serena catching a Pokemon for the first time, will be epic, can't wait to see Serena with Pancham.By the way: Ash Ketchum is still my favorite character, it's the executive producers, lazy animators, and writers who are trying to kill Ash Ketchum with this Pikachu show.

XY049- Apparently about some Lapras of some kind, and Bonnie gets involved. Team Rocket are also in this. XY050- This episode seems to revolve around TriPokathlon or whatever where apparently only girls are allowed to enter (based on an earlier episode), and Serena has her new Pancham in it. Also apparently Team Rocket are in this. Don't care either way about these episodes. |

XY051- This episode seems very likely to introduce a shiny version of Hawlucha since Hawlucha's shiny coloring is dark, but it could also mean something evil, so I'm not going to conclusively say what's going on But regardless I like the idea of a Hawlucha centric episode. Now I just wish Fletchinder would get some more. XY052- I'm not going to get my hopes up. But it looks like Ash's Froakie is evolving. But again I've been screwed over for getting my hopes up when things looked logical, like Oshawott evolving so I'm not going to. Logically all signs point to Ash's Froakie evolving. Evolution animation, the name in the title, Sanpei showing up with freaking Greninja (you sure as hell better not prevent Frogadier from reaching its final form), the fact the Frogadier being Sanpei's doesn't really stand up during scrutiny. BUT I'm not going to get my hopes up. If it happens I'll be ecstatic, because this would be Ash's first water Pokemon to evolve in over a decade when his Krabby evolved into Kingler at the Indigo league. However Froakie evolving now is a bit....unusual and possibly out of place. Most of Ash's starters that evolved usually got a crap load of focus. Charmander did, Chikorita did (more so than anyone else, even if Cyndaquil rocked a lot of gyms), Treecko did, both Turtwig and Chimchar got quite a bit of focus, as well as did Tepig. But Froakie, doesn't seem to have done all that much, all it really did was used periodically at random times and it beat Grant's Onix. However even though it is weird, and unusual, I will still welcome it with open arms. Because maybe this will mean (since this happening so early) that Frogadier might be able to evolve in time for Olympia, with Greninja having a dark type and thus having a huge advantage. But with Sanpei and his Greninja, and while he didn't prevent the possibility of Frogadier (hopefully) I'm not so sure on Greninja. Unless Sanpei is really supposed to be a guide for Ash and the development of his Froakie all the way to Greninja. We'll see how this goes. But regardless Froakie better not pull a Bulbasaur or a Piplup. |

I neglected to mention this before, sorry for the delay, but there was a trailer revealed a few weeks ago (I think) where there will be a Goomy showing up, and a lot of evidence suggests it will be on the main team, go to the Pokemon Team Discussion thread for some epic spoilers. |
