Mega Lucario Z can use its Wave Guidance in all kinds of different ways, such as expand the Wave Guidance thin into a shield or striking after concentrating Wave Guidance into parts of its body, such as its legs or fists. During the battle in episode 132, using Wave Guidance in this way ended up being the key to winning.

>>287049246So this was the final video then? I expected them to do more characters since they did Amethio and Friede.
>>287049650I assume this is region locked?
>>287049690Yeah, and they block almost all vpns too. It's just a marathon of old episodes, nothing worth dicking around with region locks to watch.
When does AnimeJapan start?
>>287048772Reminder that our girl Runrun is an official ambassador for AnimeJapan this year.
>>287049898Oh and Matsuda too, but she's not as important.
>>2870498649am Japanese time, so in 1 hour 40 minutes.
>>287049358>>287049426>>287049509>>287049617So they're doing one of these every day until the next episode airs, I assume?
>>287049898>>287049920They should've had them do the Pokemon stage show.
>>287048772These two need to marry already.
The info we get is likely to be about the Rakua battle with the Explorers rather than the Metamon stuff they're going to reveal more about in mid April.
>>287050024Probably. They didn't post one today, but if they keep going at a rate of one per day, we'll get the 18th and final on Friday the 10th.
>>287049548Sexare
Nicolive ratings for this week.
>>287050503>Rider above the CuresGood shit
>>287049156>>287049330Murdock was by far the highlight of this episode.
Shizuku just did a new performance of Nete mo samete mo which has little notes pointing out which lines in the song are references to anime stuff (labeled with pictures) and which are references to other Pokemon stuff (marked with blue).How many of them did you miss?https://youtube.com/watch?v=5MPhMKskXN0
>>287051048>absolute madwoman included a DotLiko reference in the lyrics
>>287051425What was it?
>>287051499The line "Kyou wa ii hi datta" is marked as a Dot reference, it's a quote from Dot in this scene >>287051425 from the end of episode 27 when she thanks Liko for the curry picnic she arranged.
>>287051585Nice.
>>287051425>>287051585DotLiko is strong.
Sex with this brat.
>>287051048I don’t get the Mollie reference.
>>287052214The first one? I think it's a quote from back in episode 11 when she explained her backstory to Liko. I didn't check, but the wording makes sense, she joined the Rising Volt Tacklers because she wasn't able to just stand around in a Pokemon Center waiting for injured Pokemon to be brought to her.
>>287052272Ok, that makes sense.
>>287049154I want to touch Liko's likos.
>>287052322You already are Ann. Please stop.
DotLiko status?
Weird how this “みつけて” is marked as just a Roy and Liko reference and not a Friede, Roy and Liko reference.
>>287052458It's not a reference to the characters itself, it's a reference to the main tagline of the show, これは、冒険を通じて大事な何かを「見つける」物語。That one I actually got back when the song debuted.
>>287052652Not the Friede line?
>>287052712Had it been "みーつけた" (or at least みつけた) I'd have seen it as a Friede reference, but みつけて I think is just a reference to that tagline. Friede's line is so very specifically that particular form of the word.
>>287052354Canon >>287051425
>>287053035Surely they know what they are doing, right?
In the language of Liko.
>Shizuku is such an Amethio fangirl she promotes DotLiko because she wants Amethio to herself
>>287049267>>287049301
>>287052785Could it not just be a less direct reference? Like I don’t think its really a reach when some of the references in the song aren’t too direct.
>>287053465Sure, it's always possible. But given that it wasn't given a Friede note in that video, it seems it wasn't intended as a reference to his famous line.
>>287053575Liko is pure sex and she knows it.
>none of the Pokemon twitter accounts have updated for over a dayWeird. Does that mean they're not going to talk about AnimeJapan either? It started an hour ago yet there's no tweet about it.
>>287048892Cap on the poster.
>>287053803>all these actual kid shows>also Anya and Kimetsumanhuh
>>287053803L-Ladybug?
>>287053956Is it that surprising it's popular in Japan?
>>287053654I mean, Roy does the same thing in the timeskip. And given this is a timeskip ED it seems like a reference to that.
>>287054121Most of the references are to pre-timeskip stuff.
Will Amethio become a recurrent character once the Rakurium plot is resolved? Or will he once again disappear?
>>287054289I sure hope so, he's barely been in the show at all.
>>287054289>implying the Rakulium will actually be destroyed any time soon
>>287054527Yeah, this guy 100% has some kind of backup plan. He didn't even go to Rakua himself.
>>287054527What is Spinel going to do for another year?
>>287054842Win
Cute and gay harem.
>>287054986Needs Nanjamo too.
>>287054527I cannot see them extending Rakua any further.
Photos from AnimeJapan.

>>287055298>>287055317Our heroes, and Roy.
>>287055355Fug
I know it's mostly from memes, but someone at gamefreak and such took a huge gamble on people liking mega starmie and it seems to have payed off.Multiple times over the last two months videos from this series has passed my timeline despite not following anyone who watches it and they're all from people seeing scenes with friede and mega starmie and going "why is it all oiled up!?!?" in the best way possible.
>>287055405So that's what >>287049057 looks like in real life.
>>287055277>>287055405These photo spots are pretty lame compared to the one where you got to sit in the captain's chair on the Brave Asagi.
>>287055355I said when the promo dropped that the reason cap turned ditto is facing away from the camera is because it's gonna have the ditto face.Hoping this is a reference to the promo and the ditto isn't gonna spend most of it's screen time as cap.... Unless there's gonna have liko catch it and then it'd at least be funny because then roy would have cap and liko ditto cap.
>>287055521>Hoping this is a reference to the promoPretty sure it is. You can see they're plugging the next trailer on the left here too >>287055277
>>287055564I mean the fact it's currently shapeshifted as cap is only a reference to the promo. I'm worried they'll do something like have friede finally take cap back and then replace it with cap ditto.As in, the ditto stays in cap form 24/7 as it travels with the kids so they can shill pikachu and ditto at the same time.
The real Cap is too marketable to get rid of.
Delicious Liko legs
The TV Tokyo booth has some Pokemon stuff as well.
>>287055908Dot's official profile art always looks so weird.
>>287055678They got rid of him almost entirely during the orange academy and thanks to the timeskip I'm wondering what is up with the whole thing? Did the ratings go down and some exec went" of course they went down, three was no pikachu front and center every episode?" or is it the result of the anniversary?Idk feels like there's an explanation on why they went from cap being able to not be on screen for 70% of an arc to now where I bet they find another way for friede to leave so cap can stay with roy.
>>287056002I can definitely buy the execs not liking Cap being absent from most of Terastal Debut and telling OLM to not do that again. Cap never really DID anything while traveling with Roy, so it feels like he just did so because someone said Pikachu had to be in the show.
>>287056002Probably less ratings going down and more "Kids aren't going to buy merch of Pikachu wearing a hat if there's no Pikachu wearing a hat in the show for a year"
>>287055908Full shot of that banner.
>>287056414So do the images there change?
>>287056447Looks like the name and character art are static while the other scenes are video clips that rotate between a bunch of different ones.
Here's where that Metamon Cap is actually hidden.
Are there no lewd kigs this year?
>>287056681Probably got scared from Twitter lewding them too much last year.
>>287056805Glorious times.
>>287056936>dress a girl like this>be surprised she gets lewded
Cute and gay.
CAPTAIN PIKACHU
>>287057464Yeah I think >>287056233 is on to something.
>>287055277Why do nobody ever take photos of whatever those panels on the right and left of shillcario are?
Haven't seen the past 10 episodes, is Dot still seducing all the women she comes across?
>>287057845Yes, both Nanjamo and Botan have been really touchy-feely with her the last few eps (as has Liko, of course).
>>287057845Without even trying.
>>287057677They're just showing the promo, but here's the one on the left.... Silly little ditto.
>>287049267Our hero
>>287058107>just photos from the trailerGay
AnimeJapan as a whole is pretty shit this year, it's not just the Pokemon booth that's underwhelming.
>>287058275They could've at least had the kigs from last year.
>>287057799L-lewd!Doujin when?!
>>287057799Why are these two so lewd?
>>287059257Something about them being in love.
>>287058275Probably due to some issue behind the scene.
>>287057845Yes, of course she has.
>>287057909>>287058095>>287061766How does she do it.
>>287062136Pheromones.
No episode title?
>>287062136By being CUTE and gay.
>>287063937Episode title? We have the one for next episode already, and it doesn't air for another two weeks.
>>287049178
So what's going on with the official Pokemon twitter accounts anyway? They all went radio silent on Friday aside from a few Champions League posts from pokemon_cojp
>>287065678Might be related to that Pokemon Center stabbing. Pokemon twitter went dark for some other reason like a year ago too, though I forgot what it was.
>>287065842Oh yeah that's probably it.
>>287064467>two weeksWhy...?
>>287067585There's always a two week break between cours.
Today's Pokedoko is going to have more anime karaoke, right?
>>287068921Yeah, it's a two parter.
>>287066754Cute and gay.
>>287069201Should've been 3 parts.
Was there an episode? I thought there was a 3 week break.
>>287070604No episode. The thread was because of AnimeJapan.
AnimeJapan day 2 should start in a couple hours, but I doubt we'll get anything new there.
Roy is...
>>287072353a mistake
>>>/vp/59108152Pokedoko in two hours, with more anime karaoke songs.Special guest: Botchi Boromaru
>>287072497Nice.

>>287072931Oops, meant for >>287072557
Remove Roy.
>>287072603Damn, that's really good cosplay for Pokedoko.
>>287072991You don’t add ellipses to a complete sentence silly. Clearly that was meant for the sentence without proper punctuation.
>>287073002This
>>287072603Hope they do more cosplay in the future.
>>287073533Rainbow are back as Liko and Roy next week.
>>287073866And Abathio is this week.
>>287073866Next week will be anime themed too, seemingly based around Instructor Starmie.
>>287074537They're really shilling that thing.
> Trained for 3 years to prepare for a competition.> Still lost the competitionShe should have learned to do "Hoge Hoge Hoge" from Roy.
>>287074661Better than Lucario.
>>287072497It's time.
Abathio is a miracle.
>>287072603Find a flaw.
>>287076590Why can't Hikaru normally look like this?
Nothing new from Pokedoko right?
>>287077812Nothing anime related. The big news they had was announcing the Pokemon Baseball Fes 2026, a tie-in with 12 pro baseball teams to celebrate the 30th anniversary, with the first event being the Pokedoko hosts doing the ceremonial first pitch at next Friday's Yomiuri Giants game
>>287078133>YawnballI sleep
>>287055908>>287056414Here's a video of the full thing.
>>287078643Oh nice. Seems to be specially made for that banner.
>still radio silence from the official twitterYou'd think they'd promote their presence at AnimeJapan, god damn.
Proper views of the full AnimeJapan booth.
>>287079121
>>287079148This screen plays the new trailer from last week.
>>287079173Not entirely sure what this one plays, I think it's these videos >>287049246
That booth is really small and shitty compared to the previous two years, wow.
>>287079302Animejapan as a whole has been bad this year.
>>287079222>3D version of the poster where Pagogo and the Tera crystals stick outOkay that's kinda cool actually.
>>287078133>12 teamsI guess they'll get the anime VAs involved too then.
>>287079357They probably self-sabotaged on purpose because they're moving to Osaka next year.
I think my joke about the pr twitter account breaking might actually be true. That or they just haven't felt like mentioning animejapan at all.
>>287080042I'm pretty sure it's because of the Pokemon Center stabbing. None of the other official Pokemon accounts are posting anything either, it's not just the anime one.
>>287076590I hope they do more cosplay like this.
>>287079302 They downsized hard, yeah. Feels less like “main pillar of the franchise” and more like “oh right, the anime exists too.” Probably blew the whole budget on that giant 3D Pagogo and called it a day.At least it’s not as depressing as the Sun/Moon year where they just looped the same trailer on three tablets taped to a wall. Could always be worse.
>>287082179It's only really 2024 and 2025 where they really went all out for AnimeJapan.
First time I see PriOrche crossover art.
>>287082298Dot's harem keeps growing.
>>287082298Girls are always going after Dot.
>>287083994I'd go after her too if I was a girl.
>>287080564Yeah, I've seen nips suggest the same. It's standard-ish procedure in Japan.
Looks like they had this at AnimeJapan too.
>>287082298>slop
