<3 pokejungle
ps- Wow, tired, going back to bed.
pps- We were spot on, Mamoru Miyano is voicing Dento! Great work ozymandis!
wow, think i was the first who read this! refreshed the page and got it 😀
YESSSS :DDDDD
FIRST TO COMMENT!!
AND THAT BATTLE WAS WAY TO QUICK!! xDDD
and ash looks more anime-ish and wayy younger. xD
oh forgot to say, LOVING DENTO IS A GRASS TYPE!! :DDDDD
i think we can all officially say he’s PJN’s mascot. 😀
I really hope so! But we have yet to hear Paul’s say on this.
What do you think Paul? Do we have ourselves a mascot?
I think we might :3
then it’s official!!! :DDDDDDD
dudee what is it with me always thinking i get firsyt comment then i get second? xDD
There’s always the possibility that he’s fire/water/grass type, who uses simians – which we’ve already got a grass and fire type of (Darumakka). Soon as I see a water monkey I’m calling it. 😛
That’d be a fun challenge for the first gym and really hit home the type triangle to new players.
If that happened I would go bananas. GET IT!?
^ I GET IT!!! IT GET IT!! Lol. :3
BAHAHAHAHA Lame jokes are so funny!!
Sabonea, sir, you are quite smart. Although I thought he would get the Fire/Water/Grass trio, I thought he’d get random pokes. Getting simian styled Pokes, now that’s smart.
Im definitely sure that ash will have a mijumaru
yep foooo shoo 😀
if you notice in the preview the skin of the person pinching pokabu’s cheecks is very tan
which mean iris will get it. 😀
and dento or shooti will get tsutaaja which means ash get’s mijumaru 😀
Maybe Ash will [again] get all of the starters. I mean, Kibago will be Iris’ signature Pokémon while Yanappu will be Dento’s.
I think you are right on that one! He definantly has Mijumaru. I saw Pokabu running on the rocks in the gym in one video so thats a 50/50 it could also be Shooti’s. And Tsutaja is a maybe for anyone!
So, I stayed up to watch the anime because I had a feeling that -something- would happen. That and I couldn’t sleep. At least this got confirmed. I like how they added to Ash’s eyes, which only seem to make Dento’s eye problems stick out even more.
ya it’s like the fixed everybody’s eyes. xDDDD
If only they could fix Brock’s…
Brock’s eyes were always meant to be like that. Then they removed him because they thought he was offended people, THEN brought him back in when they realized he wasn’t (this is where Tracy came from).
Dento’s eyes are really, really bugging me. Seriously :I
Yeaaaaaah. They are kind of weird… especially when he’s juxtaposed with the other anime characters.
Personally I like that they’re different. Makes him full of character!
Plus he’s Brock’s replacement so they have to be full of character! 8D
I guess Ash’s male companions will always have eye issues.
oh forgot to mention that in the preview pikachu uses what looks like iron tail except it’s like electrified or something…
possible new attack?? :DDD
you can see the attack in the promo piture above 😀
IMO its iron tail. btw answer your fb msg plz.
really?
ahahah shows how much i watch the anime. xDDD
i replied a whlea go @@;
the one about confirming that dento is played by mamoru miyano right?
well yeah that’s his name in kanji 😀
oh check your fb message as well pleaseee 😀
You know…Ash may actually get Mijumaru…
Look at his new suit…plus A Mijumaru battles Dent’s Yanappu…it’s totally possible although I didn’t see it coming until now.
Maybe Shooty will get Tsutaaja.
Maybe they’re color coding for our convenience, and someone wearing red will get Pokabu…
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ColourCodedForYourConvenience
*gasp* another Troper? I love that site. :3
Totally predictable that Dento’s grass. I actually kind of agree with the color coding thing…. I mean, other than Dento yelling “SOLARBEAM” our strongest evidence he was a Grass trainer was his green shadow. :/ So…… maybe this season’s rival will have it?
…..And then Ash will steal *cough* RESCUE it like he did Chimchar. LOL
I’m a troper as well ^^
Yay! *gives invisible cookie*
“good wory ozymandis!” xDDDD
ahahah no prblem it’s my job, giving the amazing pokecommunity the news they deserve! 😀
Ash looks really creepy… HIs eyes are like when his mom, Delia Oak was mind controlled by Entei in the 3rd movie.
Ash looks older! 😮 I like his outfit, and eyes! I think I can like Ash now. I’ve always hated him. This series is looking great!
older? @@;
personally i think he looks ounger with the big eyes an all but that’s just my opinion 😛
I’ve never liked Ash, but now… I’m getting a restraining order… His new look creeps me out… It’s like he stares into your soul…
dento really looks yummy.
I hope he has a huge _______ 😀
hahaha xD
xDDD
wasn’t there someone else who said that? xD
haha 😀
I hope N has a bigger one.
“arsenal of pokemon….”
Let’s keep this PG please.. -_-
Remember guys, we still don’t know if Dento is specifically a Grass-type Gym Leader. There’s still a possibility there is some underlying theme in his team, or even being multi-type, or perhaps Yanape just being a totally random addition to his anime persona (albeit that’s unlikely).
I see they finally decided to revamp Ash to match the current style. It was kinda weird seeing him side-by-side to someone like Dawn who looked really different, totally different eyes and everything, so I’m glad they fixed it (though it looks strange!).
It isnt Yanape sorry! Im a little OCD and had to correct you because I’m learning japanese and Eipu is ape. Lol unnecessary comment but yeah
Pokemon is in America
Outfit = red white and blue
You can’t forget that we have gay gym leaders, golden gate bridges, football players (who are conveniantly black), an eagle, and (not being racist) black people…. Yeah… We may just be in America ^^
Dento isn’t anywhere close to being confirmed gay. And, although highly unlikely, even if it is implied in the Japanese version, the US dub will likely remove any traces of it.
Apart from that, gay people, black people, red bridges and eagles are not exclusively American phenomena thank you.
Besides, you gotta explain Deathkahn, Meguroko, Tabunne, Munna, Musharna, Yin/Yan Pokemon, Daruma pokemon, Shimama, and silk worms, and French bakers. None of those scream America at me.
I… am quite aware of this….
I was being sarcastic… but okay…
Oh…I missed your use of shift6 there…oops.
ehh…Ash’s eyes = cocaine-overdose
ahhhhahaha this gets a cookie. xD
ahhaha, I won ^^
Even more evidence this is America. JUST KIDDING!
THAT.
deserves a bigger cookie. xD
Ill take that cookie. . .AND EAT IT! If Dento says something like that my day will be made.
I don’t like Ash’s new eyes. Makes him look younger.
Haha, isn’t he still supposed to be 10/13? In my eyes that’s pretty young.
The style will take some getting used to. Ash was kind of like the Highlander. Seasons came and went, but nothing changed…. except his clothes. But now, he actually MATCHES instead of looking outdated.
does anybody know were can i watch new japanese episodes with english subtitles?
if you’re talking about the Best Wishes! anime it’s not out yet. DX
but usually if you google pokemon episodes subbed or somethin’ like that you’ll find something. 😀
The newest episode I’m aware of is one in which the “mysterious trainer” and Ash face off in the final rounds of some tournament.
I won’t tell you the outcome, but I will say this trainer has Darkrai and Latios – somehow.
i was watching it live with pokejungle and we were both having ,like multiple “WTF?!!??” moments in that episode. xDDDD
At first when I saw Ashs outfit, I was shocked, because it wasn’t identical with Blacks… but now it fits him! I love it! Best yet! Also those new eyes give him a better Anime-look! I really think this series will be awesome! 8D
Pikachu uses a new move! Ash’s eyes… ew….I don’t like them, but he looks older.
Nope it’s Iron tail.
did iron tail always looks like that? @@;
forgive me if it did since i haven’t watched the anime since may was around, so is it just new animation?
Yup just seems to be animating it different which is a little misleading.
In the clip they showed after the ep, he actually shouts out to Pikachu “Iron tail”.
*rewatches*
…oh…you’re right. ^^;
ya know, i should really stop being amazed by the animation and start paying attention to wht they say the first time around. ==’
ash looks cuter with brown eyes
now I’m starting to fantasize about Ash and Dento, could they have a romantic relationship?
Very unlikely, imo.
Dent does suspiciously invade Ash’s personal space in a scene though~
aahahahaha that was funny. xDDD
i love ash’s side reaction. xDDD
I think its because he comes from Kanto and Isshu is far away… and he wants to know about it… or might be because that Ash was in the Sinnoh finals and wants his autograph? XD
That’s possible too.
I’m thinking that Ash beats him with Mijumaru. And since Dent’s gym is all about type match-ups, he’s trying to learn from as to how Ash managed to pull it off.
Or…. it’s because Dent’s also a waiter and he’s taking down Ash’s order :p
The possibilities are endless D:
CAN I TAKE YOUR ORDER CAN I TAKE YOUR ORDER CANI PLEEEEEASE TAKE YOUR ORDER?
Holy bologna fudge and mustard! Ash looks older and is basically confirmed for Mamapeto, and probably all 3 starters, I’m so happy 😀
I’m happy too. He’s getting a Mamepato.
ehhh i think he’ll get mijumaru for sure but i think pokabu will go to iris and tsutaaja will go to dento or shooty.
In one video he also aims a ball at a Shikijika, whether he get’s it or not isn’t as clear as Mamepato, though.
I don’t think he will… seeming that means he would have Pikachu, Mapepato, Possible 1 starter, and Shikijika.. thats 4 before he’s even started!
And he can get six, so that means he could also obtain the other two starters, though it would be a bit odd seeing him having two grass-types.
Well, they did say in one of the trailers he be catching/battle a lot more this season too.
But he might not end up with Shikijika or he might be aiming at something else and the video is cut misleadingly 😀
Maybe the Shikijika heard Ash shouting when he was throwing the Pokeball at Mamepato and turned their heads
wow pikachu looks kinda smaller on ash’s shoulder for some reason. either pika gets a new attack or iron tail has new animation. and im sad ash is back. but weird how ash now has brown eyes.
since ash is an adolescent now, what is his age could exactly be?
I think he should have armpit hair now
well this is anime so they’re hairless forever. xDDD
plus he is only about 13 or 14 and he is japanese so it wouldn’t be uncommon if he didn’t have any. :/
Hes fifteen now i thought,
dude, with his un-ageing appearence i’m not even sure anymore. xD
he surley doesn’t sound 15 though. xD
I fell out of my chair when I saw Ash throwing a Pokeball at Iris http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/contents/pokemon_bw/spot12.html
ahahahaha first he met girls by destroying their bikes now he tries to catch ’em. xDD
he must reallly want iris. xDDD
wow so we finally get to see ash attempting a random capture vs. a pokemon wanting to “tag” along with him on his journey and of course its his new co-star instead. sooo stupid, just like how the only time team rocket think to use a pokeball to capture a pokemon is when they decide they will keep it vs giving it to the boss.
To be fair, he has no idea what Pokemon look like in this region. And her hair IS pretty, er, well…. I can understand his mistake. LOL
It looks like he throws pokeballs at everything.
That’s actually more in line with what his character SHOULD be. I mean, he wants to be a Pokemon Master, and it’s IMPLIED that he’s supposed to catch everything to do that. But time and time again, starting on episode ONE, he consistantly stands there as perfect catching opportunities fly by. I mean, he had the chance at the Spearow in the first episode TWICE, once as a Spearow and then later, after it evolved. He’s had chances at pseudo-legendaries, if not legendaries themselves. He’s worse at catching Pokemon than TEAM ROCKET! It seems like the only way he can catch pokemon is to befriend them, and then have them follow him around until he finally gets the picture and throws the ball.
*deep breath* Anyway. This preview gives me hope that maybe Ash is finally, after over a decade’s practice, learning the basics of being a Pokemon Trainer.
Pause it around 0:03 and you can see Ash making the most hilarious face.
She does look like a pokemon from the back XD
When I first saw the clip I thought that she was a Murkrow xD
xDDDDD
so did i!! XDDD
xDD
Ash- Mijumaru
Shooty- Tsutaaja
Iris- Pokabu
After watching all the vids I see no other conclusion.
I just hope ash gets all of them, though it’s unlikely but hey, who knows?
remember in kanto how he got bulbasaur,charmander, and squirtle. he at least catches two of the region.
i agree. 😀
i think it’d be a bit much to have tsutaaja with dento if he allready had yanappu i mean he has to have a rival and the rival usually always has one of the starters.
but that doesn’t mean that dento won’t get one in the game, and who knows, we might have two tsutaaja’s in the show 😀
I love the idea that the anime is gonna be faster-paced this time!
I liked the anime but I felt that It was a bit slow sometimes. =P
Also I love that that they finally revemped ash’s look, this season looks brilliant! Also Mijumaru and rankurusu are so cute it the third poster. =D
I love Mjumaru’s O_O face in the second pic, it makes me lol. XD
im curious as to what faster paced means though. i feel like we have heard things like this in other series and it didnt seem like much of a change. i appreciate faster paced id prefer better story, more story and full use of weekly characters.
Faster paced maybe means not as many MADE UP TOWNS to slow down Ash getting gym badges.
Y does Ash look so different
it because instead of making his eye’s pure black they how gave it that brown color and they made it all “anime shiny” xDD
that and he’s older i guess. :/
plus, new outfit.
manyyy new things. 😛
It’s confirmed he’s older? :0
older thaqn the very first ever pokemon episode?
yes.
older than he is currently?
no.
the best wishes series takes place right after he leaves dawn and brock..or atleast that’s the what we got so far.. 😀
