Turtonator has just been revealed during the Nintendo House Party segment at Gamescom 2016. The new Pokémon is Fire/Dragon-type and has the ability Shell Armor. Turtonator can also use a new move called Shell Trap
Shell Trap is exclusive to Turtonator and allows it to set a trap at the beginning of a turn, and if Turtonator is hit by a physical attack during the turn, Shell Trap will trigger an explosion that will deal huge damage to the opponent.
What do you think of Turtonator? Cool or not?
Ayyyyyyeee. Shiny Voltorb!
*insert obligatory congratulations comment here*
Lucky bitch
I also got a shiny Bidoof yesterday.
We won’t know until nearer the time for many of these things to come through.
All we know, is that sometime in Sept/Oct, the Mid evolutions for the starters will be revealed, whilst the final evolutions will not be until the game’s release. Which is odd now because their confidential sheets have since been leaked throughout the internet and many have already known about it. But from the sheets, we now know who the female companion to Ash will be, and what Pokemon they will likely have. Like Gardenia, Mallow will have the Grass Starter Rowlet. Whilst Ash will have Pikachu, Pikipek, Litten(later evolves) and Popplio.
For now, all eyes on the chinese leaks
Why does the water starter never evolve?
Um Froakie?
._.
It probably will, but later on. Or like Bulbasaur it’ll refuse to evolve.
Brock’s Mudkip evolved
im still going by ash catches litten as its final but its like charizard and refuses to listen. but instead of sleeping it does what it wants in battle
Quite the opposite my governor
Heatigre are known to fight dirty, and I think a better personality would be a overzealous fighter who fights disrespectfully which is very unlike Ash
And ash catching one as a wild one, could show its Disrespectful ways in battle more
Actually as a Litten first of all. The anime episodes does not form piece by piece throughout the years. They would’ve planned it at the same time as the games.
I think Litten will be very absent and uninterested in battling but right around the time it evolves then gets more hot blooded and develops a taste for it, but finally hits final stage and goes crazy and overconfident attacking everything in sight and going as far as demanding fights
That would be much better wouldn’t you agree
I do indeed!
Ash losing the Kalos league is the biggest disappointment of 2016
This pokemon is neat though
Oh come on! What would you expect! If Ash would’ve won, then the anime would’ve been over, they would be out of a mascot.
No! They would’ve introduced a different protagonist! One that doesn’t suck!
Ash has improved so much in the x/y series.
I guess, but he is still so worn out as a protagonist
I agree that it’s time for a new trainer. Ash losing every single tournament is just laziness and dumb.
the point of ash’s journey is to be a Pokemon Master if he wins a leauge there is no point for the anime continue since u know they wont replace Pikachu at all
Then his story arc can be over and they can introduce someone new. Everybody is pretty much tired of Ash anyway
In fact! The original idea for the Original Series anime is for Ash to beat Gary and win the Pokemon League in Kanto, marry Misty, have kids, and then for Johto would focus on Ash’s son on his journey through it.
Which sounds a much better idea if you ask me.
then hoenn would be Ash’s long lost cousins son,
and so on, and so on…
wtf, no one ever said anything about him marriying misty and having kids, the anime was supposed to have ash grow and become stronger and eventually become red
until he’d got ran over by the money train
yeah the anime ruined a lot… including Butterfree, it was supposed to be Venonat-butterfree but the anime people wanted him to catch a caterpie as his first pokemon but also wanted him to have a butterfree over venomoth so they switched them >: C
Woudn’t be surprised if the pink Butterfree in which is Butterfree’s crush happens to be an Alolan Butterfree and…
Do I smell the return of an old friend on the harizon for Sun and Moon?
no because nobody cares about the old mons he caught except for charizard and very few others
eff charazard, I loved totodile, it was my favourite of his
im not disagreeing with anybody rn, im just stating reality over dreams which is sad to me because Pokemon could do so much more
If we aught to calculate of how long Ash has been on his journeys so far, he would’ve been out for 2-3 years
This is why I don’t like the anime. It’s more about marketing than actual care for the story. Even though XY has improved, they still have to have pokemon say their names, have an episode dedicated to almost every new pokemon, team rocket blasts off again, like its all the same.
but wouldnt a new series be the same thing? just without team rocket? heres the thing The pokemon anime actually shows reality in a sense, you cant win all of them
Look at Pokemon Origins. Good characters, pokemon that behave like animals, threatening villains. Origins had everything it needed to to be good. And it was 10x better than the best episode of the anime! They didn’t treasure marketing over story!
And sure you cant win all of them, but when you have a level a million pikachu and have been on a journey for 20 years, you’d think he would start winning
Well they introduced a new mega but that not the point. Origins would honestly have dragged on if kept going. the thing about origins was it was short and sweet
There was so much more they could do though! They could do all 8 gyms, introduce characters like Leaf as an extra”friendly” rival and then show Red’s life between RBY and GSC. Season 2 could feature Gold or Kris.
Or ya know, just do the manga. It arguably has the best story line of anything in the pokemon franchise
but honestly if the magna was put on TV it would be censored in america
I mean yeah, but only minor things like that Jiggily Jiggily Puff scene but still. It would be a better anime
or rated higher than the target audience the business wants this to market it to…
The kids
So my ranty ravey Brother complained about Turtonator claiming it was “Overdesigned” he even had the nerve to say Garchomp was Overdesigned too
i have yet to see a pokemon which i would say is over designed
Except White Kyurem. Stil love it though
same
But he’s a prick so I don’t care
He thought the spikes were much, then the eye marks gahhhhhhh
I really wish I could just drop his ass to knock some sense out of him
Im not going to say anything…
Wow. You’re so mean. I feel bad for your brother…
He’s the mean one,
I’m always the one bailing him out of stuff, chauffeuring him and his girlfriend, cracking his back on request and buying him drinks and snacks and I’m the mean one
He doesn’t even talk to me unless he personally needs something otherwise he goes on days without talking to me and the times he does his snout is buried in his phone
For me, reshiram and keldeo are the most over designed legends.
Why do you think Keldeo is over designed?
His resolute form. That’s what it’s called right? It’s just got so much going on with those feathers in his mane, etc. compare it to other Pokemon, not just gen 1 and he’s got too much going on.
His horn is ugly in that form. It should be sleek, like a blade.
Yeah it just looks like a bunch of different designs slapped onto a horse.
Oh Garchomp is cool! Cynthia has one!
Turtonator is awesome! It’s always nice getting a type combo that’s rare in a normal Pokemon
It is overdesigned but overdesign is a choice afterall as simplistic or modest design. Sometimes it works for some poeple sometimes it does not.I personally think its overdesign is good, and I truly wish it is somehow a very rare Pokemon.
I don’t think it’s that over designed. An over designed fire type would be heatmor. Everything feels cohesive in his design. The coloring and shrapnel like spikes being the explosion and then having that shell pattern repeated on his head and kind of on his chest.
He needs to get his eyes checked. Those designs are great.
I really like it! Giving me a standalone vibe though just like druddigon..
I hope its the midevo though!
I just want to say, before I watch any video footage of this, I love Turtonator’s design. It looks like that’s not the most popular opinion, but I just think it’s such a stark contrast to what we’ve been getting and what we’ve expected, and I adore the little ugly duckling.. er, turtle.
I love it’s design, so you’re not alone
I’m here too!
Also, where can I watch the gameplay? Sadly, I couldn’t watch live, and I can’t seem to find a good video now.
There’s one. In this article
I meant the full gameplay, unless I misunderstood what was happening today and this was all we got??
Yeah. This along with the first SM reveal trailer, except in German and a Battle Royale bit
Oh ok. Thank you!
It was disappointing ;~;
I wouldn’t say that. We got a new Pokemon, which is more than I was expecting to be honest.
I was expecting 3. Namely the starter evolutions. But Turd is cool, so I’m satisfied (sorta)
I was mad during most of it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFWLoyZESAc
I think it’s better than a lot of what we’ve gotten so far.
Say guys What happens if you mix: Skill Swap x2+Rock Head+Volt Tackle+Z-Move= ?
Why does everyone say Ash winning *a* pokemon league would make him a pokemon master? Ya’ll realize the entire point of his journey is to complete the pokedex right? Completing THAT would make him a master. Winning some battles means jack shit, especially when he was offered a position as a Frontier Brain, some of the most elite trainers in the pokemon world! Beating one champion just means you have to keep going and getting better in order to keep up your skill as a great trainer.
Wow… We will never lose Ash will we?
Idk, I feel after Sinnoh definitely would’ve been the time to do that. But if they ever did, the last episode or so of the anime (if it ever ends) should be a time jump to Ash as a professor, with special guests Misty, Brock, May, etc.
It would probably be when the company finally close up shop and called it a day.
Yeah, most likely. I hope it doesn’t happen though!
Not now, but until Nintendo or something terrible happens.
I’m sure the pokemon could survive on its own. I bet Satoshi has some sort of clause in his contracts and such that address something like Nintendo going under and the future of the pokemon company.
They’d probably survive, though barely, on mobile devices
Ash is my Favorite Pokemon Trainer! 😀
He’s pretty good in Hoenn and Sinnoh.
…. is this… is this sarcasm? (unless you’re a child in which case I understand and you do you)
He never ONCE completed a Pokedex. He’s never even registered all the Pokemon in a region.
I wonder if he’s that pokemon player who doesn’t realize you have to catch every pokemon, not just see them to get she shiny charm
I know. That’s why I’m saying he won’t be a master until he actually completes it. Plus, with the shows logic, it’s not like he would cease to exist if he won the league. They’d just act like nothing happened and move on to the next region..
He’s so lucky that he gets to see so many Pokemon. He sucks because he doesn’t take advantage of it by registering them
He doesn’t even try most of the time. They probably don’t want to make it seem like neglect or something..even though there are tons of pokemon he just shovels onto Prof Oak, like 30 tauros.
I like to imagine they register even in his pocket. .. I think something similar happens season one. Like he say a pidgey or something.. the dex started saying something in his pocket.. then he opens it up to listen.
Or I’ve just completely made this up in my mind ?
No. . . Ash never Once said he wanted to complete the Dex. Red has and Oak wanted him to.
But I like the other half of what you’re saying.. Ash could Master one league and still start from scratch and lose another.
The writers don’t understand they can use Ash .. Forever ?(hahahahahahha evil laugh).. and Still allow him to win sometimes.
They can’t now.. they’ve already made it seem so impossible that he will likely quit after he wins once. Which I don’t understand. Wouldn’t you want to at least win in your home town/region Kanto and be a hometown hero there after you retired… At 10 ??
How would collecting something make you a master?
I don’t agree that winning a league makes him a master, however if they allow him to win, it gives us some indication that he’s considered one of the best trainers out there.
I would like for a series, where Ash after winning the league, continues travelling and comes across really tough trainers who continuously challenge him to battles. I just think the same tired formula gets old.
Maybe he comes across some of the people he lost to in earlier leagues, or maybe characters that weren’t that strong before. He doesn’t have to win all the times, since they won’t be officially recognised as challenges to his Champion status.
Also I don’t think a champion status can be lost in the anime. Once a champion always a champion. Only in order for someone else to become a champion they must beat an already established champion in an official match.
Same
What I hoped sun and moon would more or less be

pokemon fanartist work fast
it’s cute i guess. I feel like this is pokemon bootleg/ fail abortion of bowser. which would explain the dragon typing. This thing resembles more of a turtle than a dragon than me but whatever.
I wouldn’t say cute.. but it Definitely looks like a happy little mistake! ?
it’s cute because it’s stupid looking. in the same manner as a sloth.
Some sloths are beautiful! ????????
Kappa
I hadn’t noticed this yet, but this is its front
Lol.. you thought it head was just naturally side ways the entire time. .. ? ???
No no no hahaha I just hadn’t seen its belly yet
Oh okay lol
As dex entry said this stomach hole is its weakness.
Looks like Hoopa Unbound.
I just thought about it. . If Ash Does win ONE league… What’s he gonna do? Retire at 10? Go back to Kanto where no one even knows where he’s been except his mom and Oak.. and maybe word of his victory will get back to that dead beat dad of his.. =,= (that man hasn’t tried Once to stay in contact with his son, poor Ash =,=)
Anyways.. I think one season showed everyone from different regions watching Ash in a league on TV..
But I personally would return to Kanto and try to Win with my Mixed Gen Team.. as a final victory!
Honestly I’d like a Kanto season, as much as I don’t like the favoritism.
They could add Sooo Much more to it though! Incorporating things from All gens.. would be awesome!
I think once you’ve won a league you are considered a Champion in the anime. Although I like the idea of being eligible for an E4 challenge, followed by a champion battle in order to gain the title of Champion for yourself.
I think that title would be recognised all over the Pokemon world, regardless of which region you accomplish it in.
Exactly.. . Maybe they are thinking “logically” and don’t want a 10yr old to have Done it All by becoming champion in the anime. All champions are older..
But what about Pokemon is Logical!?!?
Ash needs a season where he a just trying to beat the elite and become The Champion!
So, be knowing the anime, Lance, Steven, Cynthia, Alder, and Diantha are confirmed Pokemon Masters, far more than Ash will ever be.
It’s interesting cos they’ve shown that these really powerful trainers, E4 and champion exist but haven’t ever really done anything with them. We have no indication of their role, or how they gain their poisitions.
Hell, we don’t even know how Gym leaders get their positions, but we’ve seen gyms be passed down to family Members (Koga to Janine and Flannery got it from her grandfather). Maybe you just have to register a premises with the Pokemon League and they grant you permission to conduct gym battles.
it reminds me of the umbrella-yokai miniboss from kirby for some reason.
Updates on the Ash Loss:
– “Satoshi” trended on Twitter for seveŕal hours, averaging 50,000 tweets and was at one point in the Top 5 of most talked about events worldwide
– Some of the animators expressed their discontentment with the loss… possibly hinting that this was a last minute decision or something the WHOLE TEAM did not agree on or were made aware of
– The latest preview for the nexr episode has 20,000 dislikes
– The main writer has received threats and online assault
– The Pokemon company doesn’t care because the anime is just a marketing tool and they could care less about the story or Ash
This is seriously sad. I had a feeling that it was a last minute change. Imagine if Ash won the league. It would be incredible! 20 years of losing finally coming to an end! The writers need to get their shit together
You know shit was going on when the writers and animators themselves go online to express their discontented opinions.
How do I read these comments? What did they say?
I don’t have screenshots, but others might if you poke around the Internet. Additionally I can’t read Japanese so… I just got that info from Serebii.
Lel ash got irrelevant after the johto arc, the hoenn arc should had brought a new character that is actually good at pokemon and not just some kid that thinks he can win every battle with a yellow unevolved rat ps: plz dont kill me xD
Battle Frontier should have been the end of Ash… DAMN IT ASH! YOU SHOULD HAVE BECOME A FRONTIER BRAIN!
he should have been at least 12 when they retcon’d him in BW.
I know the anime has very little impact and that it is simply a marketing tool, but for avid fans who play AND watch Pokemon, it’s sad, frustrating, and simply plain terrible writing. There are several franchises that market their games using animation, but they actually were inventive and fun to watch. Pokemon finally started breaking molds with XYZ and the ultimate barrier was the League which everyone thought he would win. These writers need a wake up slap x5.
I just don’t watch it. The main pattern for the franchise is to watch it the first time, get hooked, and when you tire, move away to let some other new kid take your spot. The formula for Pokemon is all the same…
– Ash leaves his Pokemon from last Gen with Professor Oak.
– Says bye bye to Last Gen Companions.
– Travels to new Region.
– Collect new Pokemon.
– Accompanies new companions.
– Foil Team Rocket’s plans.
– Collect the 8 badges.
– Recycle plots from older episodes that newer kids would never hear of.
– Defeat region’s evil Team.
– Lose in Pokemon League.
*Rinse and Repeat from above!*
He should’ve stayed petrified in the first movie.
???
YES PLZ
Hahah woww
LOL
they could have just brought Brendan in.
Omg! Take me to the Main preview! Link plz! I want to press dislike! You guys.. this may be the First time we get a Real Say in how next season goes.. they already are drawing it.. I know but maybe it will change the events of things.
No good reason Synchro Grininja should lose to Mega Charizard.. in the anime.. where typing and greninjas lame moveset.. Don’t Matter.
Plus like.. wtf! Alain joining the league was So Last minute.. he didn’t even care to win!
His team was so undertrained! Ugh!
Youtube…pokemoncojp channel…latest video about the anime…its not that hard to find lel
Huh? To find what?
The latest preview, wherent you asking for a link to it? Haha
That’s will not happen if Ash lose earlier ………next season Ash will not reach the semi final Muhahahaaaa.
Lol.. I thought about this. Some writers…. Gonna Die
??
Actually I was predicting Ash reach the 2nd place 7 month ago …..put I didn’t know y this world not fair to me.
Ugh I hate that the writer is receiving threats. I’m disappointed at the loss and I disagree with the decision but at the end of the day it’s a man’s life.
One thing I learned in life is there’s always someone else giving orders. It wasn’t his decision and he was hardly going to quit over it ahha.
I defo agree that the Pokémon company doesn’t care for Ash and that’s a shame. I personally really like his character and have grown up with him. I remember seeing the promos on TV before poke on even aired and watched it the Saturday it aired at 6am 😛 🙂
Yes it’s sad.. but they will Guaranteed hear about this.. and make some changes if we are Loud enough. All they care about money.. happy viewers.. equals Max Money.
Lol.. they may even start sun and moon off with Ash at the league finals… Then rewind to make people happy enough to watch through again!
that actually sounds like a good thing to start with.
Exactly! Would be So Refreshing and cool!
I only meant like a preview though. Like we only see shadowsq of the two pokemon on the field.. Ash and pikachu with the Z band on his wrist.. the board.. and the audience going wild!
Yeah I have been vocal about my disappointment but not to the writers haha
I agree. Such a huge decision would surely not fall on the shoulders of one main writer. However, the confused, frustrated, and appalled reactions of the other members of the anime team shows that this decision was not unanimous in any shape or form.
Yeah that really shows alot of heat in the boardroom.
They probably had a Pokémon battle and the dick that won used pokesav and made the decision 😉 :p
Okay, no, I don’t approve of any of this at all. I don’t follow the anime at all, but I know enough to realize that this is the same result as every other region. Something has changed in the past few years where people of my generation and younger feel confident enough to attempt changing what artists spend hundreds of hours developing, although these fans know nothing about the meaning of background decisions. I want this entitlement to stop. Rant over.
I have to disagree. From the sound of it, the animators didn’t even want ash to lose. He only lost because the pokemon company doesn’t care. If they did, he would’ve won a long time ago.
I mean look at it. Ash has his strongest team he has ever had, has grown as a character more than in 5 regions and has been winning battles like crazy. Don’t try to tell me they didn’t plan to have him win
I think it’s fair to voice our opinion to have what was made for Us to be changed by Us when we do not like it.. Dislikes and vocal disapproval is Fair Game!
Threats on the other hands.. pure crazy! ?
I mean there is a difference between a character dying and fans getting upset and a character getting cheated out of their goal by the writers or some higher power
Ash can’t win because he is the staple of the series, and winning the league means that he stays put in that region for eternity. It can not happen, at least for the foreseeable future. This result should have been, and always should be, expected from the beginning. Simple as that. This overreaction could happen every single future generation, but the formula will not change until the anime is overhauled completely.
He can win.. then leave.. wut. He can even do other leagues
I expect that to be true in Alola at least, since the traditional structure is overhauled. That’s what I mentioned before. But for Kalos, it is not reasonable to assume that.
Yes… Yes it is.. lol
That’s why Kalos was the best region for him to win.
I’m having trouble seeing the logic here, so I’m just going to stop. Opinions are a wonderful thing 🙂
Like I’ve been saying since Diamond and Pearl, even though I’ve stopped watching mid Battle Dimension
So Ash has to stay because… Status-Quo is god? Pokemon has shown over and over that Ash is their WORST protagonist. Red from Origins, The B/W2 Protagonists, Alain, all characters that could EASILY carry a show
I have to disagree. Ash can win and stay. They’ve never once elaborated what being a Pokemon Master is, how to become a Gym Leader, Elite 4 member, Champion, etc… there’s so much room for exploration and new ideas, it’s sad the writers and businessmen/women are content with recycling the same plot.
Exactly! They are making the rules up as they go.. and not even close to this
Cynthia is everywhere, so why not Ash?
Because Cynthia IS GOD!!!
She def slays
She’s Judgement!!!
I love her hair
I love her name I love the way she says it
I had a friend called Cynthia who was 5 feet tall x)
(noonegotmyreference)

me too. In my comic series, though only hinting as an unofficial easter egg, she’s Selena.
You have to read the entire comic to know what is happening. I’m just showng you where the hints are.
(Warning: The comic does contain some Mature Content)
http://elzeronchronicles.thecomicseries.com/images/comics/107/26a7d572e6a71c00e14a91b0fd6706111746126229.jpg
Bewbs
I told you it’s for the mature. as an unofficial easter egg as it it, I will hint that this takes place long after the Pokemon timeline.
At least we know Ash’s dead
Already best plot ever 10/10
Or in the afterlife. You see in this, the characters here are eternal beings called Legends.
I see so ash haunts the land forever with his eternal youth and annoyingness haha
Or be in an eternal plain. Might throw in an easter egg somewhere, but try not to infringe on the copyright.
I don’t think you need to worry about copyright with a webcomic that is posted online
It’s just in case it might be picked up.
Other Pokemon Characters that maybe Legends are Gardenia (Ardena), Zoey, Candice, and Tobias.
Like, I don’t want to crush your dreams or anything, but it won’t be picked up by GF if that’s what you mean. Besides the fact that they legally probably aren’t allowed to do that, literally thousands of fan comics of pokemon exist too.
Do you think I am not aware of that? I WAS the person that sent them the Pokemon Myth and Legend ideas with it sent back with a letter telling me so.
I’m not planning of giving it to Game Freak, I mean it might be someone else, and if I want to reference Pokemon, I must do so subtly and not throwing too many hints.
But you’re still using pokemon characters? I’m confused
I’m just hinting to you of who these characters meant to be. You could say that they are not connected, they aren’t even in the same universe. But the point being, is that it tells you of where the characters were inspired from.
Hold on wait, Cynthia is supposed to be Serena? But Cynthia is in the anime before Serena is introduced…
It’s not official, it’s just an unofficial easter egg.
you could say that Cynthia is Serena, but posing with the name as Cynthia in order to blend in, just like her grandmother and sister. She was sent there by Princess Zarah in order to reflect on her failings of leading troops in the battles that have been going on in her realm. Hence basing her origin in ”Top-Down Training”. She dreampt of nothing but becoming victorious in battle, but when sent to the Pokemon universe in order to reflect, she finally changed her ways through the pokemon that she can understand with. So when on few occasions she returns to a certain battlefield, she had changed so much that there was victory after victory.
Stop using comic sans
Megalovania starts playing* haha
Ya know if you keep using that font…
*You’re goona have a bad time*
I hope that in the remakes her redesing is either the same or they make her more awesome! #cynthiabestchampion
She owns Ash so much in the series, why not have her as it’s mascot?
OMG A younger Cynthia becoming champion and studying pokemon mythology PLEASE
YES THIS WOULD BE AN AWESOME ARC “Pokemon Origins: Platinum”
Yeah lets make a petition so cynthia becomes the face of the pokemon company and her garchomp replaces pikachu as the company’s mascot!
Wrong on so many levels. First, he would not be Kalos champion if he beat Alain, he would just be eligible to fight the Elite 4 and if he beats them then Diantha. There is no way to know if he would end up beating all 5. Even if he did and became champ he does not have to stay in Kalos. He would only have to be present in Kalos for events in which he is needed like future Kalos leagues and challengers that reach him.
From what I’ve gathered online and from the Japanese twitter responses on Serebii, it seems the background decision was not unanimous and/or pressuring. I think everyone’s entitled to their own opinions and disagree with attacking the writer, but it’s been 19 years of the same formula. Of course people are going to get angry.
I’m not sure whether your comment is advocating change or not. But there is nothing wrong with wanting Ash to win, and there is nothing wrong with challenging the decisions made by those with authority, as long as you are able to do so in a respectful manner.
However I disagree with insults and death threats. If you are smart enough to have an intelligent discussion I’m all for it, but please don’t stoop to such low levels.
I just realized Ash is Lightning!
Who?
Final Fantasy 13.
No no… I dunno. ?
they kept making sequels to ff13 which everyone hated.
So if i recall correctly the only league ash has won is the orange islands league?
and that’s only cause it was filler.
Yeah it’s not a Real league..
it’s apparently like how Alola is though.
Yeah i see many similarities between both regions for example the way leagues work by challenges and trials instead of battles and the fact that some pokemon have regional variants etc
Then Ash will win Alola.
What does Tajiri do anyways?
Inb4 ash cant beat kahuna hala and isnt allowed to leave mele mele island forever
I’ve mad ethos comparison before..
Yeah I’m sure he will.. but will it Really be That big of an accomplishment
Then again if I was writing the story for the Pokemon anime people would probably make a Change.org post and riot because I would have killed all your favorite characters and the only character remaining would somehow die as well.
The Pokemon Anime is Final Fantasy XIII.
The Pokemon anime is writing done months in advance and animated a few weeks before release and crossing your fingers people won’t realize you recycled the same plot from Episode 456 for Episode 878 with new characters and new Pokemon.
missing the point.
When you’ve been blinded and scathed, it’s hard to see the light of day.
more like since the new gen is on the table. That’ll be since X and Y is about to launch for the new Sun and Moon anime. Same might be expected for the 8th Gen that is possibly on the drawing board right now. Taking three years or so, than months.
I wonder y I love fire type that much …….sometime I feel I wanna catch more than 3 fire type ,but my logical mind don’t accept this kinda of emotion , but I feel I wanna do it this time more than any previous game.
So I came up with a possible prevo name
Blastron (Blast and Plastron (the underneath of a shell)
Too simple?
Doesn’t matter, I’m replaying Dark Moon and loving it
So you happen to be playing the game the Lord of all Puns is Playing… hmmm…
Sooooo…. Im curious. I know years have passed since the anime has started, obviously. But how many days have passed in the anime? Does anyone on this internet have a clue how many days and nights we’ve seen/ have been talked about?
Well i do remember back in the day when the narrator would say “a new day for ash and his friends blah blah blah” at the start of each episode and the fact that many episodes show days going by, ash and co sleeping, etc it is quite a task to figure out how many days have passed but definitely more than a month haha
I know. I dont want to do it, but Im sure someone has had the time to look at how many have passed.
If we were to go by that narrator, that means around 937 days which equates to roughly 2.5 years meaning Ash should be 12 years old by now. Of course we can’t go by that since there have been several episodes lasting just 1 day.
we need to look at how many days SATOSHI has been traveling, not ass ketchup.
Wait arent they the same person or are you talking about the other satoshi?
you have to include episodes aired only in japan.
Oh ok then
and any potential inconsistencies in the dub

Welcome to the internet where people have all the time in the world. There’s a video calculating the exact number of loop days in the movie Groundhog Day so this task isn’t too far off
Closest we can get probably https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hyqxT0OmYw
Let’s see how the ratings fare for this episode and compare it to the upcoming episodes. They always say, “No publicity is bad publicity.” Or maybe the ratings will tumble and fall after this episode. Who knows? *grabs popcorn*
Let’s face it! Without a doubt and completely obviously, Pokemon is a money-making merchandising empire that has dominated Japan for 20 years, with tiny expansions throughout the rest of the worlds. Whenever one Gen is out, you’re sure as anything that the next gen is already on the drawing board. Both Anime, Movie, Manga and Games. In fact the confidential sheet of Litten’s Final Evolution even has a window of the future of what’ll happen to Ash’s Litten later on in the series. Having a story and development plan for 3 years with no stopping nor ending (nor Ash ever winning a League) anytime soon. All for the sake of the mighty Yen.
Just because the show is mainly for making money doesn’t mean it has to be the same repetitive shit over and over! That is ridiculous. That ruins any excitement or suspense that could happen in this already boring show. Now we are stuck with Ash for even longer and the show will remain mediocre.
God, if the manga was made into the show, it would be so good. Characters that grow and return, good plots and conflicts…. Dand it I need to read the whole thing.
I really wish they would do a Special Anime, even if it was like the last bit of DBZKai and was only to be released overseas.
If it’s not broke, why fix it? Well, shall we look at the receipts for the past three films and the ratings for the past few episodes? ;P Maybe they’ll finally be given a reason to “fix it.”
So basically what im reading is that ash will lose every league because it is the only way to keep the anime going? Well at least thats what i think ash will forever lose until pokemon comes to the end of its life
pretty much so. For Ash if he is seeing this, he’ll say that this is some kind of sick joke.
Pokemon is here to stay until society crumbles. Even then, the aliens or humans after the collapse of society will discover an ancient gadget with a weird rectangular piece of technology stuck in it, press a certain button, and be sucked into the world of Pokemon. Even if Andromeda collides with the Milky Way, the super-sapien lifeform will somehow find the same technology and fall in love with Pokemon. It’s not going anywhere is what I’m trying to say.
Aka: ash will never win a league xD
I’m still shocked at how he’s such a bad trainer when he’s named after the guy who Created Pokemon, I mean Gary/Shigeru is cool for a guy who’s named after Miyamoto.
Well mario and zelda are more popular than pokemon, at least outside of japan so it makes sense for shigeru to be better xD
Pretty sure Video games in general are more popular outside of japan.
What? I mean, Japan is still a video game valhalla. They just like their own games more, but they very much like video games.
Well I think I read somewhere that Gaming in Japan isn’t a think Adults do like in America and Europe. Which is why games are focus more on children and teenagers.
You have to remember that Satoshi has Aspurgers, so I think he’s trying to reflect his life through this character and trying to get the best of the Nintendo man himself.
I have Aspergers and I’m not as bad as him. Maybe it’s his crazy-ass sleep schedule.
Sad he actuslly doesn’t have any say on the interworkings of the anime. :C
so true. That’s why I’m wanting my comic series to be non-profit
Damn. People were really looking forward to Ash winning the league this time around, huh. I even saw a livestream on YouTube the other day marathoning every episode of the XYZ anime before Ash has his final battle against Alain. You can tell how excited people were about the finale of the Kalos league.
Me too! It even reached the double digits in viewers at one point.
