Captain Pikachu, the Yellow Lucario and Taikaiden are all being treated like retainers as well...

https://x.com/Pokemon_cojp/status/2009573363614630333>In today's episode of the Pokémon anime, we met Momowarou, a Pokémon that can make people and Pokémon fall under its control, chained to its will. Even Captain Pikachu has fallen under its control, so what will happen now? Check out the official Youtube channel for more details!
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2009577138639544324>What did you think of Pokémon anime episode 123, "Shock and Horrors! Kibikibi Panic on the Ship"? Diana had been on an adventure with Hamber in the Land of Kitakami, where it seems like Momowarou had superimposed the image of the old man and woman on them... The show will be on a break next week. Check out the story of Momowarou in the Youtube upload!

>January 16th: No episode>January 23rd: PM2023 124 - Storming Explorers Headquarters!>Having realized that the Six Heroes are being held captive at Explorers Headquarters, Liko and the others launch a rescue operation together with Amethio. The operation is proceeding smoothly as they make their way into the headquarters, but they then suddenly find Rubella and Indi standing in their way! Liko's Carbou and Amethio's Soublades take them on; Will they be able to overcome this challenge by working together?!>Screenplay 松澤くれは (Kureha Matsuzawa)>Storyboard 尼野浩正 (Hiromasa Amano)>Episode Director 佐藤道拓 (Michihiro Satō)>Animation Director 松本めぐみ (Megumi Matsumoto)>Animation Director 中矢利子 (Toshiko Nakaya)>January 30th: Details to come>February 6th: TBA
Definitely one of the best post-timeskip episodes, probably in the top 5 of them.
>>285160318I love them for doing this. They knew they had a winner with this episode.
Amethio sexo next episode
>>285160162The hypnosis isn't good enough because they're fully brainwashed instead of being embarrassed about what they're doing
More importantly, our man Zir next episode.
>>285160442Nothing a video camera can't fix.
>>285160338Carbou is 100% evolving here.
>>285160442They remember it afterwards, though, don't they? Murdock seemed pretty embarrassed.
DotLiko status?
>>285160751Big upswing in fanart, and it seems they're going to work together for a bit next episode.
>they just fucking forgot about RandouHow rude. He's the best crew member.
How do people unironically watch this shit?
>>285161037
>>285160338What are the chances Amethio will join the Rising Volt Tacklers permanently after this? He appears way too little for someone so heavily tied to the plot.
>>>/vp/Fuck off
>>285161176Dude, at this point I think he's going to join shortly before the final battle.
>>285161072this has been debunked
>>285161176It's possible, since they're teasing Perfect Zygarde in the OP now. The reason he's off on his own is to collect the Cells for it.
>>285160162Those last two panels in sequence are kinda hot.
>>285161411I believe that's the point.
>>285161451They know so goddamn well what they're doing.
>>285160347I'd say 5th best, after the Brimuon ep, the Gurumin event ep, the Nyabby Girl ep and the Taro ep.
>>285161517The swimsuit episode was good too.
>>285161696It was solid, but I liked today's better.
Liko, you dumb fuck, the whole plan relied upon you not being hypnotized. Moron. Come back here.
Is Liko better than Ash?
He has become... chub.
>>285161970Yes.
>>285162321
>>285162342Kibi!
This should be a fun week for fanart.
>>285161451I'm sure. Her being completely entranced and basically a completely different person like that is great and all, but what really makes hypnosis hot is the mind control actually being applied and her resistance towards. The struggle to survive. >>285162321>>285162342>>285162360Yeah, like that, exactly like that. >I don't want to be like everyone else! I don't want to be like that!! I-...Perfect.
>>285162342>>285162360I think I'm starting to understand this fetish.
Sango is next.
>>285162593Do tell.
>>285162780Would she put up more or less of a fight before succumbing?
>>285163241The entire point of brats is that they put up a fight.
Uwah...
Is all this fanart from the same artist?
>>285163697The art in this specific thread is by https://x.com/hitsugi_mcThe previous thread had a bunch by other artists.
Cute
>>285160162Greatest episode yet
>>285165256Can't wait for the lewd variant.
>>285160293Why didn't Momowarou get a pair of sunglasses?
>>285160209The doujin pokemon?
>>285166336The fetish fanart Pokemon, at least.
Autocomplete for "Liko" >Liko kibikibi>Recollect>Liko brainwashing
>>285166788The episode did its job.
>>285166788Made me try searching for リコ 洗脳Lots of screenshots of the exact same scene, no fanart.
>>285160338Why is there no episode next week?
>>285167460TV Tokyo needs to show some celebrities reacting to funny videos >>285135995
>>285165256Hope Kaede does a hypnotized Liko pic.
>>285167815For fuck's sake.
https://x.com/poke_times/status/2009822504764752262>Warning: If you happen to see some unfamilar mochi like the ones in this picture, please don't carelessly put them in your mou...... ......bi......kibi......
>>285160209It's that an evil pecha berry
>>285169201Interestingly, it's actually described to resemble a peach. It's basically Momotaro as a Pokemon... just with mind control powers because the designers had a fetish.
>>285169128Kibikibi Kibikibi
Crossover art time.
>>285169275
>>285169275Actually just started playing this.
>>285169128Heh. The promo tweets for this episode have been pretty good.
Yeah... I don't think this will be the next Party Night or Hare Hare Yukai.
>>285169791They danced it once on Pokedoko, I believe.
>>285169275>>285169295Bring on more.
>>285169275>>285169295I don't recognize that one at all.
>>285170983It's the princess from Dragon Quest 2.
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2009867803260793029>Pokémon Anime Spotlight:>You're just so cute.
>>285171465>put random Lugarugan scene in the episode juts because it's a cute doggoNot a bad decision.
>Momowarou CAN make people and Pokemon do its budding in general tooWish we saw more of that
>>285172951The implications wouldn't be tolerable on television. Making them jump off board or anything that requires instructions is too much.
>Another break weekAh this blows.
>>285173158Could've just had them walk off. It didn't want to hurt them, just remove them from the ship.
>>285173158In Diana's flashback the victims were made to go gather berries.
>>285162224If that was true, anon... they wouldn't be getting rid of her to bring Ash back... You're gonna hate February's last episode...
>>285174783Momowarou: now kiss
>>285161176He's doing an "I am legend", e.g staying a solo man.
>>285175332I would like to see a solo Amethio episode.
>>285175424We got one pre-timeskip, no reason we can't get another.
Kibikibi kibikibi kibikibi kibibi
>>285175281>we're getting all this fanart of Liko in the yellow shirt nowNice
Okay, slowpoke anon here. I've just finished watching episode 105 and want to say thanks to that anon that motivated me to keep watching. Episodes are surprisingly good and beach episode was lovely.
>>285174783>even Momowarou loves DotLikoGood boy
>>285176882Yeah, 102-105 is a really good batch of episodes. It's a bit downhill from there, but it's been picking up a lot lately, and yesterday's episode was amazing.
>>285176934> It's a bit downhill from thereoh no>but it's been picking up a lot lately, heck yeah
>>285176984109 is Dot VS Sango, you have that to look forward to for now, at least.
Possessed Liko makes me kibi
Dot's sacrifice will never be forgotten. I wonder what she was thinking during it.
>>285177399>Must protect Liko
kawaii
>>285176984Hope we get another Dot surfing episode now that she actually has a surfermon.
>>285177399>All this running is fucking tiring, screw it, I'll rather sacrifice myself
Our lad is definitely evolving next episode, right?
>>285178652Yeah
Ended up watching the episode despite not watching the anime nowadays.The build-up to the first kibi was pretty good in a horror sense, and jumping from that eerie atmosphere to the goofy kibi dance song was a good way to subvert your expectations.
>>285178905>hypnosis episodes DO attract more viewersTake note, writers
>>285160751It's meh.
>>285160162Jesus christ, Diana just got a pokemon that can brainwash literally every human and mon alike, why isn't she using it to take over the entire Explorers in a few hours instead of fucking off forever? You're not even hurting anyone by doing that. Is it really better to send Liko and the others to their death against the six heroes again?
>>285180778Anon, Spinel has a brainwashing Pokemon as well and already used it on Liko. These things aren't AS powerful as you seem to think.
I think Liko and Dot should kiss.
>>285181108Most people do.
We won't be getting anything about next episode on Pokedoko, will we?
>>285181622Not this week, it'll be in next week's episode.
>>285178997You need to give the kids these fetishes early so that you can drag them back in as adults.
>>285183000That's been Pokemon's modus operandi since the very beginning, and it's showing no sign of stopping.
>>285183704God bless Japan.
>>285184246She's spanish.
>>285184443The people drawing her thighs aren't.
Genuinely asking, is there a chance for a Horizons movie in the near or far future? I'm guessing they haven't come up with a new mythical pokemon to promote and the fact they lose money every film but I'm still holding a glimmer of hope.
>>285184658Horizons movie?
>>>/vp/58825203Pokedoko in 2 hours, won't have any info on the next episode, but should recap the hypnosis fun from yesterday.
>>285184823Hope we get Hikaru doing the dance.
I WON
>>285183000So they're planning a hypnosis themed game for 2040?
>>285177293The complete lack of thought in those deceptively-bright eyes is really doing it for me.
>>285185315How does it compare to picrel?
>>285160188>>285185651Dumb gay duck
>>285185474This new one's better. That blank face is good too, but this empty, hollow, fake joy is crazy. It's the difference between the happiness inflicted and forced upon her and the terror she'd be feeling if she could actually think.
>>285185728>and the terror she'd be feeling if she could actually think >>285162342
>>285185651This is why you're always last to evolve, Quaggot
>>285185880Yeah, exactly.
>>285185651Traitor!
>>285186112One thing I think was lacking with this brand of hypnosis is that since the episode leant on horror, them doing the kibi dance doesn't really feel appropriately "dangerous." Like they'll come at you and dance. They're not trying to really do anything to you.I guess that's the Pokemons job but still.
>>285187469It was deliberately a goofy type of horror, and worked very well. The Kibikibi dance is just part and parcel with Momowarou.
>>285184823It's time.
>>285184886>she actually didNice
https://x.com/TaigaxHolic/status/2009792708244554157God damn it you Vtuber groomer SHE'S 14!
>>285188813Out of 10
>>285188813Maybe even 15 depending of how long the timeskip in Episode 1 was.
>>285189191Or 12, depending on how old she was at the start of the series.
>>285187469The horror is the hypnosis itself, and that's plenty on it's own. It's scary enough for someone's thoughts and consciousness to be overwritten by something else, for them to mindlessly carry out some forced action, even if that action is goofy.
