Pokémon Smash! — August 25, FINISHED! [UPD]

Pokémon Smash!

Pokémon Smash will be airing soon in Japan. This week we’re not expecting a huge amount of information, despite the episode being a WCS and Mega Evolutions special. As such, this episode will not be covered live. Instead we will provide an episode write-up after the episode has finished airing.

Our stream can be found below, as well as the PokéJungle Chat. Please remember to Like us on Facebook and Follow us on Twitter, and for even more Pokémon related goodness don’t forget about our very own forums too!

Please note: if you can hear a constant popping/clicking noise, please open the Chat spoiler and click the small speaker in the bottom left.

Episode Write-Up

  • The episode begun with it’s usual anime episode re-airing
  • Smash crew ran a section focusing on the WCS in Vancouver. Some of the crew got to visit the championships and talk to some of the fans attending, and even challenge them!
  • Next the hosts moved on to an X & Y section, including a game which required them to guess what was in a selection of boxes, without being able to see what they were feeling
  • As expected Mega Evolutions were shown, with a little new footage showcased feature Mega Ampharos
  • Back to the WCS, this time with a focus on the video game champion contenders
  • A quick look at Sylveon (they even talk about the Pokémon in English!)
  • The credits run with footage from the Pokémon Game Show running, featuring hosts taking part in various battles using X & Y

The preview for next weeks episode didn’t preview anything of interest, as such we will only provide a stream again next week.

    • Ah now I see it, hmm looks ok, but I would like a more knight like look. I mean its jap name was Sirknight so its a meh for me.

    • Not my taste. That could just be that it doesn’t feel Sugimori-ish at all. That, and I feel like poor Gardevoir has become the sex object of the older fandom, and this does nothing to fix that. I’m not sure Gardy will see a mega evo, seeing as it’s already getting bumped up by it’s new type change.

      • Mawile became Fairy Type AND got a Mega Evo, so Gardevoir has a chance too. Plus, Gardevoir was on that trademark list for Mega Evolutions, too.

        • No, I’m saying it’s ALWAYS been treated as a sex object by the fandom, and this doesn’t help remedy that. I didn’t say it made it worse, more that it just continues in the high-slit, come-hither eyes that people fetishize in Gardy. Though this is really a problem with the fandom, not just the design.

    • I like it, but I would prefer something more androgynous (male Gardevoirs exist too.) Maybe a waist-cape, if you look at another way?

    • I want something that looks a little more Wizard like, since it’s kind of based on a male wizard. I would rather it not look so feminine. Somewhere inbetween would be nice.
