hehehe watching now <3 Courtney is awesome and I love voicing her lines when I play OR
Courtney is the best. So creepy though
I really really liked this episode. Both Courtney and Tabitha were shown to have great personalities lol
I really hope we get one with Aqua. I’m curious as to how Shelly and Matt would be portrayed.
They can’t just skip Aqua. Hopefully it’s something different though..I bet we’ll also get something with Zinnia and Steven in there somewhere. I could see there being maybe 4 episodes for Hoenn.
Hoenn just has so many good characters. I’d like to see the epic battle with Wally in Victory Road, but I don’t know how likely that’ll be.
Forgot about him for a sec. He might be in there somewhere. Maybe if we see Zinnia steal the stones.
Is tabitha a boy or a girl? I’m so confused
Tabitha is a boy with a girl’s name.
He’s a boy
I liked the episode but not I’m a fan of the writing for Generations as a whole. It’s the weakest part about this miniseries.
I mean, Courtney’s dialogue is more or less the same as in the games.
That’s true but idk it was weird to see it acted out I guess.
I can see that 🙂
I still love her redesign for ORAS though.
I agree. Its the main reason why i usually only watch the episodes with battles in them. But even then we only get little segments. Probably why i consider Generations to be overhyped
Maybe that’s why the first episode is my favorite 😛 The choices for the voice acting + writing comes off as super corny too me. But not the good corny like the early seasons of the anime.
Now that I’ve finished watching it, I’m more partial to the voice I give Courtney, which is slower, a tad less emotion, and quieter. But this voice isn’t bad either, I just think something similar to mine is more creepy, but that’s just me.

maxie’s voice in my head (D.C. Douglas is the voice actor)
I’m having trouble remembering the names of these Pokémon. Maybe I’m just getting old.
Septile, Groudon, Camerupt, Mightyena, Golbat..? Those?
Whoops, wrong article. You know what I mean 😛
Oh, I was confused lol. Yeah the new ones have weird names.
arent u still in high school lol
I agree. I appreciate the creativity, but I can’t remember any of them.
They’ve just been revealed and it’s a lot to take. I usually only start remembering names when I start playing the games. Took me ages to get to know all the Gen 5 Pokemon as there were so many.
Only ones I’m having issue with are the dragons and Type: Null’s evo (that’s mainly spelling, because it’s different from the Japanese).
Ribombee and Tsareena I can get easy, Steenee is still setting in.
as always though, Generations just makes me wish we had an actual whole series rather than minisodes ;A;
I do dig the fact Courtney literally went with crazy faces. I like the crazy characters
This makes Courtney more amazing I love her character so much now
i find that kind of personality annoying honestly. and creepy. but hey to each their own.
I think she would be a better character if she was more of a scientist and not creepy fan girl.

Archie’s voice, in my head. (Gregg Berger is the voice actor)
Does anyone else expect next weeks episode to be a different segment of the ORAS games but with May and Team Aqua instead?
Does anyone else think it’s kinda sad how indoctrinated and detached from reality Courtney is?? not to mention the sociopathic behavior near the end.
It’s kind of why I live voicing her lines when I play OR xD I kind of like her character
“Feature I want for gen VIII: A font where capital I and lower-case l are distinguishable.”
I just want that feature for real life.
We were always taught to draw them differently at school, but it seems the internet and technology in general decided to tear up the rulebook.
I actually write them the same as well, so I can’t really complain about technology doing it. :p
School should have taught you better 😛

Suddenly realised I’ve only watched 2 of the 7 episodes. Oops.
Love the freakish extremists/cult take on Team Magma, it works extremely well here, and Courtney’s creepyness serves it well too.
But as with pretty much every episode, I feel the english writing and voice acting can be awkward and jarring at times, and the french version is actually better in all of these. Which is weird because usually english language stuff is cooler, but in this case the french dub works better pretty much every time: the voices are better suited, the acting is less jarring, even the writing is slightly better.
I realise this is probably taken from the games, but one example would be the “maxie Sir” form of address, which creates detrimental distance between the protagonists. In the french version, they just call him Max and use the informal rather than more formal form of you (tu), and honestly it works much better. It makes the high ranking members feel more like a family, and you genuinely feel Courtney doesn’t just trust Maxie as as guru, but wishes him well as a friend, and that Maxie also trusts and cares about her. Even Tabitha’s silly line before Maxie enters the submarine is a little less dumb, and more importantly it feels like a friendly joke rather than him just acting like an idiot.
I know I’m going stupidly deep with the analysis, but honestly I really felt it this time because the french version just did the “best” (IMO) part of the episode better-ie giving us a little bit more of a personal perspective into team magma. Whereas I came out of the English dub feeling a little jarred by the whole thing, the french dub gave me a good appreciation that they’d deepened character development and made the lore a little richer.
Wat I like the most is Groudon them …..so wat if Courtney vision come true? …No team magma anymore.
Ok, I don’t know if my standards are dropping or if the quality is rising… But that was pretty good xDDD
I’m expecting an episode with May and Team Aqua next week. I wonder what storyline they’ll go for though. I guess they might go for an emerald-style compromise while conserving ORAS elements? But it’s really weird to me they gave the coast-cave base and submarine plot to team magma, those make for a way better association with team aqua, as did magma’s mount chimney base in Emerald…
And as others have predicted we’ll probably get a Zinnia episode, hmmn actually I’m gonna predict next week we’ll see Zinnia as a cameo or side character working for team aqua, and that’ll be the aspect of the story we get to see… And maybe, just maybe if they’re building up to something, a mention of project AZOTH… It was in the team base after all.
I’m also now expecting at least one looker appearance in each region, so maybe we’ll see him apprehend one or more of the team members? Tbh that didn’t happen in the games so I dunno, but at this point I believe/want looker to be something of a guiding thread in generations.
That might clutter the episode too though, hmmm.
I wouldn’t be surprised by a steven stone appearance as people are predicting, and I’m also expecting a delta episode story, so how is that going to fit in?
How is all that gonna fit into two more episodes? It probably won’t all appear tbh, as I’m not expecting them to do more than 3 episodes per region since 6*3=18 and that works perfectly.
It’s making me really sad we’re not getting more of this though, because every time we leave a region there’s so much more to explore…
I would crowdfund the sh*t out of this if it meant a follow up (though GF and nintendo definitely don’t need crowdfunding tbh)… Come on pokémon company, can’t you see how win-win it would be to keep making these? More hype, more ad revenue, more happy fans, hell, SELL them to me if you need to, I need moar than 18 episodes!!!
You vs the guy she tells you not to worry about (rf) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9c7c4b51018590cf5f188b5df2820acd09b6633ad3eff8f0c421ba32e89f8a6f.png

EP7:
– Tabitha’s voice is creepy and annoying
– Courtney’s voice is creepy and cliché
– Maxie’s voice is suitable
– The grunts have sensible voices
– Groudon is OP
– Why is Courtney now psychic?
– That’s what Camerupt should sound like
– I reiterate: Courtney is creepy
Groudon looks so cool here! Love that.
Courtney gives me the chills and not in a good way. Very weird voice.
Well, sh*t!
Got into the store for a Volcanion code.. there were 10 people already waiting in line and they all got a code, except me.. again. I give up!
MFW i see certain fanart of the bounsweet line already

people are sick sometimes
Do I want to know what this means?
Think along the lines of Gardevoir and Lopunny.
Love Courtney so much!
