Another week, another comic by Zach Flavin (follow him on Twitter!). What did you think of that first Pokémon GET TV episode that promised us world-exclusive footage??

FEATURED DISCUSSION: Anime Suggestions? by Matty (I’m assuming you guys can give him some advice about a new anime to watch…? Don’t let me down!)










Kanto: Ash began his journey.
Johto: Established as the protagonist, begins to train seriously.
Hoenn: Almost perfection but quite not at his peak.
Sinnoh: Reached his peak in terms of battling.
Unova: …
Kalos: No substantial amount of evidence for me to put a label on Ash… so far.
Lol @unova
Ash was just an utter disaster. For me to even tap into my mental strength to ruminate about the deficiency about the boy… I think I need a medic.
the way the mistreated N and Zekrom…
I believe it’s our duty as fellow Pokemon fans to boycott the already diminishing legacy of Unova’s anime. Long live the games, execute the anime for all it’s worth!
He actually began getting worse in sinnoh,
Unova was just rock bottom.
So where to start
I played 4 courses
Wario, Roy, Morton and D.K (all Heavyweights)
I used all Kart Classes
Kart (solid flat road)
Bike (Super strong on the turns)
ATV (my favorite, good for curves and drifts)
And yes all triple items rotate around you (Bananas, Mushrooms and shells)
U can still hold items in the back to block items
The Wii U Pad can be used as a solid controller and or gyro steering wheel
At first i didn’t smash into people on zero-g but I quickly got the hand of it
and u shake the Wii U pad to perform tricks on ramps
and they’re blue nubs things on Zero-G areas that give speed boosts when rammed into
and finally the graphics
It was truly beautiful, you can see like ever hair on D.K’s Back
you can see the stitching in the gliders
and every scale on the Koopalings
Shake the Wii U Pad? Wow… isn’t there a button for that? Shaking the Wiimote was hard enough… now I have to shake that heavier object? 🙂
“you can see the stitching in the gliders” – you really have a keen eye for detail, man.
i am so jealous lol i need to wait 8 more days:( the details on this game are amazing and the graphics are for drools and looks like the gameplay as well
This DECIMATES Ash in all his doings and achievements! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W87ZAiqQLeM
dat battle theme tho
Why can’t the anime be like this or origins? They make it a joke.
I feel bad for Serperior. Because it had to get introduced into the world with the other two starters… her life became only but a crescent shadow. If she were to be introduced in Gen 3, 4, or 6, fans would have adored her! The anime could have done so much with the serpent! Trip, you must be executed for tainting the Royal Blood!
Serepiror would actually be really good if it’s hidden ability was released.
Serperior in my opinion is far superior in design to Emboar and Samurott. It looks cool and needs Contrary.
Names are powerful. 😀
Wow I didn’t even notice that xD
All this hobnob about Unova’s failed anime has worked me up! I need a little fresh air so I can think clearly before I maim someone because of the failed anime.
just watch the hoenn anime.
Ash’s Kalos Team:
Talonflame
Greninja
Avalugg
M-Charizard (Y)
???
???
like he will evolve his pokemon.
Fletchinder has already been confirmed and Froakie is likely to evolve due to it’s characteristic. I hope they follow the Hoenn and Sinnoh route.
maybe
didnt he get an unfezant in Unova? I stopped watching after elesa’s gym…
Idk, two Fire/Flying types? If he had megazard y that would vastly overshadow talonflame. Don’t see it happening.
Maybe a M-Heracross?
Maybe, he hasn’t used that in a while
Xatu’s internal clock:
-Steam Market usable in 2 days.
-Mario Kart 8 delivered in 8 days.
-Tomodachi Life releases in 15 days.
-E3 kicks off in 18 days.
-The most important E3 is in 19 days.
-School ends in 22 days.
Numbers follow me everywhere, man.
My last day of school is tomorrow. 😛
Are you kidding me? We still have four days next week, an entire week after that, and Finals!
Finished finals today. 😀
Dang, I’ve been out for a month 😛
That’s just how we in Georgia roll!(The state not the country had a few mix that up)
Georgia is state?
…He asks sarcastically 😛
T.T….no.
I’m out now, but that’s because I’m in college lol
Two more weeks for us! :C
So i need someone to battle me i gotz a new team.
:0
What?
When will Sky Battles get introduced in the anime? Maybe Fletchling will evolve during a Sky Battle and then to a Talonflame when battling against Clemont or Ramos.
Ash would use Fletchinder against Clemont….
He would because if he sticks with Froakie, Fletchling, and Hawlucha, they’re all 2x weak to Electric.
Maybe he’ll pull a sabrina and go catch a pokemon in the desert specifically to beat Clemont.
While Clemont is travelling with him. XD
Doesn’t anyone in the region recognize Clemont while he’s traveling with them? Like, “Hey, you’re that Gym Leader! Let’s battle!!”
Gym Leader’s, unless insanely powerful are quite ambiguous in the region. The same applies for Clemont.
I guess that might be the case
1. Not everyone is a trainer.
2. Brock and Cilan weren’t acknowleged as gym leaders, why should Clemont?
3. Gym Leaders are Gym Leaders. Not stars. Unless they were Contest Champions.
You’d think by now his default question in traveling with people would be “Are you secretly a gym leader in disguise..?”
Well, they don’t want to show off and brag about it. Why do you think that whenever Ash and his friends meet a gym leader for the first time outside of the gym, he/she doesn’t state that he/she is one right away?
And wasn’t Cilan constantly acknowledged as a gym leader by that one purple haired girl…?
Yes. Although because she wanted revenge for his beating her in a gym battle.
That’s it.
Burgundy hates him 🙂
They’ve already had two episodes dedicated to them. One in AG and another in DP. In both episodes, Ash and James participated and could only use one Pokémon that can fly (James didn’t have one so he borrowed Jessie’s).
That was the Poke’Ringer contest not a formal Sky Battle.
It’s the anime. The pull things off before they’re even confirmed in the games. They’ve had many Sky Battles before they were even a thing. Another example is Dawn and Jessie’s “Sky Battle” with Dawn’s Togekiss against Jessie’s Yanmega.
LOL Look at me, talking already about Hawlucha getting owned by Ash. It’s pretty unlikely.
Well…you’re not so wrong about that. You know how much Japan loves to spoil you know.
My math teacher told us awesome quotes today from Einstein, such as:
“There are two infinites: the universe, and human stupidity. I am unsure about the former.”
You should have she forgot the Zubats.
said
Unless you get lucky and find a Golbat 😛
maybe a geodude
I can tell you one thing, it took me 4 hours to find a Tynamo back in the day.
Pshhh took me 6!
You didn’t look for it in the basement of Chargestone Cave, right? 🙂
don’t worry i did
And it still took forever? Meh, should’ve taken 10 minutes tops with that encounter rate… just super unlucky 😐
toom me 10 mnutes on accident then the net encounter was another one XD
Pokemon actually DOES support darwin’s theories really interesting
this comes to show how much research gamefreak does before creating their pokemon ….i love it 😀
Does it acknowledge Wallace? WAIT A SECOND.
Wallace, counterpart of Darwin.
Wallace!
wallace in ORAS confirmed !
I think I know why they called him Wallace now XD
and then there are those ultra-religious people who dont accept Natural Selection… :/
yep there’s still that conflict between science and religion it seems
just like the John Scopes trial
I’m quite the religious figure myself but would never discredit or contempt others based on my own practices. I think it’s uncivil for humans to repudiate each other based on one’s religion.
hey slip wanna battle?
sorry my team isnt prepared yet 🙂
ok then, just wanted to show my new shiny sceptile. 🙂
What the X and Y anime has so far failed at:
– Introducing the Villainous team
– Ash and co. are not driven by a force other than Ash wanting to win the League
– The female protagonist’s character development and… in every other way possible
1. They’ve at least hinted at them w/ the Evil Malamar and Strongest Mega Evolution Act I.
2. Has there ever been?
3. This is very true and it’s getting really annoying. Out of everyone, it’s Clemont and Bonnie that are getting the most attention. However, that could be because they’re building up to Clemont’s battle against Ash.
Dawn had the contests, Brock wanted to be a top-breeder, Team Galactic was another main goal, catching up to Paul, May had the contests, Ash challenging the Battle Frontier, Team Aqua and Magma, and so many plot attributes in the past anime.
Lysandre is gonna be in act 2 of mega evolution act
I was talking about the main anime, not the Mega Acts.
its probably because unova’s team plasma as well as team flare have a HUGE storyline impact and to incorporate a gruesome tale is kinda hard
like unova itll probablhy be in the third season
I’m hoping not.
Unova’s was so late because of a Tsunami though.
really i thought it was cancelled cause of other issues then they decided to rework it to match b2/w2’s release
They did rework things for B2W2, but the Old Tam Plasma was supposed to appear for two back-to-back episodes in the first season.
Mega Acts and the Anime at least take place in the same Universe.
They’re two different things technically because we don’t know if there’s a time gap and because of the minimal amount of information given, it’s hard to come up with a concrete theory as to whether everything that occurs in Pokemon is in the same Universe or Parallel Universes.
It’s the same universe because that one girl with the Chespin mentioned Ash and his stopping a Garchomp in Lumiose City, and Ayaka (the girl with the Mega Absol) is in the Diancie Movie.
Oh, my mistake. Can you please link me with the sub if it’s not a bother? I watched the raw one and never bothered to re-watch the subbed one.
Here you go:
http://www.animefave.net/pokemon-xy-special-the-strongest-mega-evolution-act-i-episode-1/
BTW, in case you don’t know, Ash’s Japanese name is Satoshi.
I do know, lol! And thanks! 😀
No problem. Enjoy! 🙂
Also funny story my science teacher told us, apparantly 2 years ago when his class did a globall warming , the principal got a complain call from one saying about my teachers lesson: Stop teaching about something that isnt real -___-
Global warming, of all things. That person probably uses an old truck with poor smog checking.
Even though Clemont is an Electric Type Gym Leader, in the Anime, he also has a Chespin and a Bunelby. He’ll probably vary up his team when he battles against Ash.
Well, remember Cheren in BW2 saying that as a gym leader, it sucks to have to battle gym challengers with weak, pre-set Pokemon…. 🙂
Yes I do. I liked how he said that, then in Origins, Brock picked his own pokémon to use against new trainers.
it then explains how first gym leaders have high strong pokemonib the PWT
Mega Diggersby Ground/Electric confirmed.
Urghhh! This is why I hate catching so many Pokemon! I already have a full party and I can’t even attempt to use any other Pokemon beside my team! I want the Axewe, Meditite, and Gible!!!!! I’ve shared so much time with them and now it’s hard for me to even put one in the box.
#FirstWorldProblems
Amen! lol
I watched Destiny Deoxys the other day and I still don’t understand how once the power went out in the city they weren’t able to use their pokeballs. That just breaks so much continuity and makes everything in the pokemon world so much more complicated. Why would they do that? I guess the answer is because it’s the anime.
Think a thing is not a thing? Well, if you have to question it, it’s a new thing. Anime logic.
It just makes me mad!! That would mean everyone would need some sort of generator with them on their travels to power their pokeballs. Wtf!!
Maybe they wirelessly recieve power through the invisible electricity spectrum or something like that, so when the power goes out they are unusable. That is the ONLY possibility, somehow -_-
Yeah like freakin wifi or something xP Stupid anime ruining everything.
Maybe in the future we’ll have E-Fi, which acts like Wi-Fi and replaces batteries.
Maybe the Pokemon world is technologically controlled… Poke’minati? 😀
Well the theme of the movie was *kinda* about technology taking over *cough* like Ultron *cough* so I guess they just added the pokeballs not working to show how much technology rules their lives. But still it was stupid AF
Just wondering, but was there an Aurora when the power went off? i dont exactly remember if it did, but i remember there was an Aurora sometime in the movie
Uhhh…I’m not sure but I don’t think there was at the time
Because Metagross needed more screentime.
Hmm maybe pokeballs have some connection to the PC and needs an electrical connection to sync wth the PC and have certain pokemon in the pokeballs
without the power, the electrical current is gone breaking the PC/pokeball connection aka the pokeballs become useless
I guess but I don’t think they thought it through that much. I think they just assumed we were all dumb and didn’t care to explain. Poor story telling.
It doesn’t shut off electricity,
It shuts off all TECHNOLOGY.
Technology includes pokeballs.
It seems everyone is talking about the anime….which I haven’t watched since ever…
So.
Hi.
Gonna leave this here.

*pouts* I’ve yet to experience my birthday in XY. I just had to be born in September, and no, I’m not changing the date just to experience it. It’s not the same.
on my birthday i went to heal up and found out the surprise XD i flipped out cause i had no lue it would happen!
also i learned frost cavernhas a surprise too
On my birthday (Not too long ago), nothing happened at the pokemon center cause i set the day to a day before a while ago and so it was the day before my birthday on my 3DS. Decided to fix that and still got nothing D: So then i changed the time to a few minutes before midnight and celebrated my pokemon center party :3
wow in my mandatory relationships and biodiversity lab, the original species has an structure identical to species Z but slightly different from species X and Y
X and Y…… KALOS CONFIRMED :3 XD
Mandatory?

I was looking through my Items Bag and came up with an amazing hypothesis!
Remember that mysterious Mega Stone Alan found in Strongest Mega Evolution Act I? It’s got to be the Gyaradosite!!!
Looks nothing like it though
