>>57002033Which movies have the sexy bunny?
These kids aren't doing their school homework!
https://nyaa.si/view/1905933Episode is out
>>57002055Thanks anon.
>>57002033Liko aged well I see
>>57002055Thx. Also lol at Gibeon.
>Not relatedAmelikobros, we live.
>>57002055And its seeded.
OK this scene of the Likonime right here made me feel bad for the turtle.
>>57002142
>>57002142>>57002167Oh ya, superficial tear over superficial drama, as expected from a garbage fanfic like Pokémon Horizon.
>>57002142>>57002167Now I'm sad too. But I find it cute that Liko uses Rystal's nickname for Terapagos to help it feel better.
>>57002174Go cry to your Ash releasing Butterfree scene.
>>57002181Don't pay attention to that schizoid, he's begging for the attention
>>57002055Time to understand why it feels bad man.
>>57002055Thanks anon
Cute frens
>>57002142>Will go back knowing that she will never see Terapagos running around or forgetting this event never knowing when Terapagos will wake upThat's depressing
Over time I came to realized Team Rocket was my favorite part of the ashnimeThe whole "lovable losers who aren't really bad people but instead just people in a bad situation" aspectDoes the new anime have anything that'd appeal to that sort of taste?
>>57002270Those two but they appear in rather in late.
>>57002270Anon, the whole backbone of Team Rocket is that they are bad people who love doing bad things. Time and time again they've been given the chance to go straight and live respectable and fulfilling lives but each time they decide they'd rather just do crime.
With Liko at her 3rd (for the moment), what are possible candidates for Roy and Dot?
>Lystal will be Gibeons sister>Gibeon is a cuck
>>57002322Saved, reaction image gold.
>>57002316That or it's because they end up separated, screw it up somehow, or both causing them to revert back to status quo
>>57002320>With Liko at her 3rd (for the moment), what are possible candidates for Roy and Dot?Something in relation to the past for Roy, maybe a Pokemon based on treasure or artifacts. For Dot maybe a Electric Pokemon in relation to Iono.
>>57002331made me laugh big time
>>57002320>With Liko at her 3rd (for the moment), what are possible candidates for Roy and Dot?Haven't given up on a lokix for Roy. Dot is more flexible so maybe idk Tadbulb because of Iono?
>>57002320>With Liko at her 3rd (for the moment), what are possible candidates for Roy and Dot?Roy could maybe get that Pawmi from the board into his party, triple check mark.>Mirroring Nemona's Pawmot>Covering a Blimpmon>Getting a third Pokemon
>>57002334Often what screws it up for them is they get bored and want to go after Pikachu again.But really their motivation for going after Pikachu just feels so contrived. It's obvious that they would rather pursue their other passions but since Team Rocket carries the ashime and without them its boring and unwatchable the writers were never allowed to let Team Rocket leave.At least this wont be a problem for the anime anymore since we are getting generational protagonists which means characters won't be sabotaged to promote an uninteresting character anymore
>>57002033That LiCute is haunting. Maybe CuteSpinel was right with attempted assassination.
Patiently waiting for a Liko in Pokeland filler episode.Also finding the latest episode a bit of a bummer for Terapagos, the little shit got to see someone who cared for it but is long gone.
>>57002320Liko will wrestle off the turtles bloodlust can Roy just strut in with a bear Pokemon, both for strength and that hungry attitude to compliment Croc.
Soon
>>57002377Liko is gonna get fucking killed by own cat for sure.
>>57002055Earlier than usual, neat.
I applaud their attempt with the story, today's episode was one of the boldest swings anipoke has ever taken, but I also find myself really missing the loose, carefree writing of early PM2019 before the increased focus on references and legacy fanservice. I think it's cool that they're experimenting with more serious serialization but it's just a bit too kiddy for me to take it seriously. If it could be a bit more violent and dramatic I think it'd pull me in more, but as things are, I really miss the simpler weekly gag shows (:
>>57002466Hopefully gen 10 gets to commit to a more one piece or dragon ball style now that they've put some distance between the last kiddy anime. you can tell they want to be more serious but they're held back by how immature the last anime was
I wish they stuck with the original premise of Zygarde and Rayquaza being the guardians of Rakua, and only once Gibeon attempted to control Zygarde (and lost control of it) did Lucius get Rayquaza. Instead the story just starts with Gibeon and Lucius randomly owning these two legendaries, and it feels underwhelming by comparison.But I guess they needed a way to justify Lucius being able to fight/catch Pokemon like Entei and Galarian Moltres.
>>57002320Unless she starts using in combat I don't really think it would count as a 3rd Pokemon, I mean it has already been with it for a while now.
>>57002514Legendaries need friends too anon.
>>57002542Besides that, we only got Rystal's side of the events. Gibeon also has to tell his tale.
>>57002181At least they had actual genuine bond together to make it compelling unlike trash like Liko who entire character revolve around her special bloodline.
>>57002183Don't compare me to Moot and PokeRaf who sugarcoat everything Pokémon Anime does for attention.
>>57002514>. Instead the story just starts with Gibeon and Lucius randomly owning these two legendaries, and it feels underwhelming by comparisonBecause this series is written by loser chuuni for other Chunni. They can't write human characters since they hate interact with human and instead shove their garbage self inserts that are so special that they get third legendary pokémon handed to them.
>>57002584you mean like giving an incompetent trainer gifted wins for world championship even though he is so dumb to not know steel is immune to poison
>>57002590Bruh, yours is the only opinion I don't care about. There's HZ criticism and then there's whatever schizo bullshit you keep screaming.Fuck off.
>>57002270Nope, they wrote fanfic about how Mary Sue can get everything handed to her because of her special bloodline.
>>57002593Just ignore him. That homeless thirdie is mass reporting anyone who isn't sucking up to him while projecting and even got a Dawnposter permabanned. He's too far gone and just shits up threads out of spite.
>>57002591>incompetent trainerThe trainer with 26 years of character development who batted 48 gym leader, 6 league and conquered battle frontier. Ash should have won the world Tournament on Best Wishes but the anime nerf him because of stupid rule that they made up only to break it off for their garbage self insert. The main reason lazy Chunni like you hate Ash because he inspired hard work which you don't want. You
>>57002602I don't understand how someone can be like this. How does a human reach a point of becoming this pathetic and miserable? Jesus.
>>5700260426 years experience of being incompetent heck he not even know steel immune to poison so uninteresting to give gifted win just for attention to mary sue oc
>>57002606I don't know and I don't care. There is a reason why the advice in the OP filename exists. Just ignore and let that schizo seethe from not getting the attention he craves
>>57002613Isn't there something that can be done to ban him? He's clearly a nuisance who is doing this on purpose. It's so silly he's allowed to keep posting.
>>57002624It's been like this for two years. Nothing really is done by the gentleman so the only useful thing is just ignoring him. Don't even talk about him. Don't give him any ounce of attention that his depraved existence lacks and let him stew and rot away in his own misery. Just ignore.Anyway, any ideas on where they'll head next after Johto and Entei? I know they'll go back to Paldea for Geetas promise but there is some time to kill until then. I think they'd do some more episodes about Paldea or the academy staff members.
>>57002211>>57002212>>57002215My hero... and that white-haired autist.
>>57002055Turtletime
>>57002118>Amelikobros, we live.Amethio probably will take a page out of Lucius and die a hero.
>Spinel alone in his office roomHe's scheming with the Rakurium, isn't he?
>>57002648When is Spinel not coming up with plans for Liko, Amethio and the others? Only when he can get his hands on Liko.
Did someone said Gibeon's name?
So Amethio is not related to Liko?
>>57002636I hope we get more Lucius/Gibeon flashback scenes because the new episode gave us basically nothing about their friendship before Gibeon turned against him. It's an insanely odd choice because Gibeon is currently still thinking about Lucius, the story is setting up parallels between Liko/Amethio and their ancestors, and this flashback doesn't do that dynamic justice whatsoever.
>>57002660Nope.
>>57002666I think they will give him an episode recounting his days before he met Lucius and the time spent with him. Amethio will need some really good fuel if he wants to help his gramps essentially picking up PokeCocaine
>>57002673Atleast the jokes were funny
>Dear diary, I will need to have a talk with Amethio about his drug-addict grandfather.
>>57002613>>57002631Honestly, I really don't know if there's anything we can do at this point. Obviously trying to deal with him isn't working, but even ignoring him doesn't work. Anons have been ignoring him for a while yet that hasn't stopped him one bit. He doesn't seem to be the kind of person who will give up over a lack of attention. Whether he gets attention or not, he will do it anyway.captcha: warnmg
>>57002666>Gibeon is currently still thinking about Lucius, the story is setting up parallels between Liko/Amethio and their ancestorsBesides that, Amethio is the biggest target of curiously to me. The guy knows next to nothing about the pendant or anything else about Rakua. That leaves hm dangling around like a marionette.
>>57002680>Amethio will need some really good fuel if he wants to help his gramps essentially picking up PokeCocaineThat or even going a bit forcefully against Liko.
Why does the Pokeball still shake if the Pokemon went into it willingly
That guy could be straight out of FE. I love him.
So what is the link between Terapagos and Rakurium?Zygarde didn't recognize Rakurium as a threat to the ecosystem until it started expanding uncontrollably while Terapagos recognized it as a threat immediately, before anything even happened. Furthermore, Rakurium seemed to be growing out of a crater, did a meteorite or something strike? I wonder if they'll attempt to link it to Area Zero and the Great Crater of Paldea.
>>57002803Could be the true cause of the “seismic activity” that killed off most of the other Terapagos according to the dex, which probably would also link it to the meteorite that landed in/formed Area Zero.
>>5700260826 years of actual hard work to reach tye top instead of getting everything handed to him though magical destiny bullshit because real world doesn't have magical destiny for anybody.
>>57002803They're heading to Area Zero in the current chapter so there's a loose thread that can be connected there.
>>57002606> Why doesn't he understand my mary sue self insert getting everything handed to her because of her magical destiny from her magical bloodline?Because its nothing more than a trash fanfic, not an actual anime.
When are My Heroes tm Friede and Cap going to save the day again?
>>57002824Soon.
>>57002824Been wondering when they get to be Chads again.
>>57002814>loses all of the actual Leagues>barely wins a fake League (Alola)>somehow becomes able to clear every Champion with a team consisting of eggmon and barely trained new team>his eggmon is somehow equally strong as Cynthia's Garchomp>utilizes aura powers in battle to achieve victoryHard work my ass. PM2019 was some piece of shit, self-insert wish-fulfillment fanfic-tier writing. Liko is a godly protagonist compared to Ash's storyline in Journeys.
>>57002224WTF does she have on her facecheeks?
>>57002839Please just ignore him already. He's trying to get you banned for backtalking. He's absolutely not worth the attention.
>>57002855>Leans in closer to listen better to the turtleSoul
Ash x Dawn
>>57002855What are they talking about?
>>57002839Anon el sumario sm dice pikachu vs koko es una batalla sin precendetes a otras batallas ya se pone pikachu sm>>todo match anteriores de ash en otra serie y del mundo pokemon An unprecedented battle begins now!! Kapu Kokeko VS Pikachu:
>>57002865I don't speak thirdy and I don't care to translate but I see Kapu and I just want to say Pikachu had no business defeating a Tapu let alone Gladion or Guzma or Hau. In fact Ash shouldn't have even gotten into the tournament at all he was so weak and incompetent compared to everyone else I mean heck just look at how easy mogged Pikachu was by Golisopod it not even a fight he so weak and should never beat a tapu. Heck this is why Goh and Liko so much more interesting they actually earn their wins.
>>57002910>>57002910What nonsense if pikachu and koko are considered unprecedented battle in general series it only means guzma is tough and A in his first battle guzma was pussy and did not want to continue
>>57002803>Zygarde didn't recognize Rakurium as a threat to the ecosystem until it started expanding uncontrollablyProbably linked to its natural role as the ecoprotector.>while Terapagos recognized it as a threat immediately, before anything even happened.The little shit flatout recognized the material. Probably knowing it even before Rakua.
>>57002055Noice
>>57002320>With Liko at her 3rd (for the moment), what are possible candidates for Roy and Dot?Dot might pick up something that would compliment her streaming persona.
>>57002989Porygon?
>>57002839>>loses all of the actual LeaguesOh ya, he should have used magical bloodline to win every league.>>barely wins a fake League (Alola)Still an official league of an official region >>somehow becomes able to clear every Champion with a team consisting of eggmon and barely trained new teamSomething he should have been strong enough to do after conquering Battle Frontier if it wasn't for the nerf.>>his eggmon is somehow equally strong as Cynthia's Garchomp.Eggmon that he has been training for an undisclosed time in a world where nobody ages.>>utilizes aura powers in battle to achieve victoryAura meant absolutely nothing for 26 years. Lucario didn't use Aura against Garchomp, lost to a Dragapult and wasn't even used against Steven.Pokémon 2019 , despite its flaw was still a better series that trash Pokémon 2023 where third legendary pokémon are everyday common animals that is handed to writer's pet.
> Goh catches Suicune How dare he gets a legendary!> Liko catches Terapagos, the strongest pokemon of Paldea that is the source of Terastalization.Oh cute, Congratulations to Liko for using her magical bloodline to get a Terapagos handed to her.
>>57002992Would be a pipedream for it to appear again but yeah, Porygon would be one option.Alternatively a separate Rotom.
Sonano?
>>57002855That's so fucking cute.
>>57002855Making Fug its bitch asap is impressive.
>>57002506Held back by the suits, probably. It's like they don't have the guts to move onto full shonen.It's not the first time the writers want to make the next step, in fact it's been an issue since the beginning. Though you could argue Shudo's ideas were a bit too edgy.Even now the flashback seems a bit abridged and you can sorta feel they cut out stuff. Or maybe >>57002564 >>57002666 are right and Gibeon's flashback will bring more.>>57002721honestly, maybe the ashnime and hz threads should split. BUT the ashnime thread would be dead as hell and the schizo would come to the hz thread to hate anyway
Lmao, that's a laughable small lizard
>>57003232Lapras was small back then too. Guessing that they grew bigger as the years passed by.
... It's over for them isn't it
Well, the way he joined turned out to be far more lame than what i was expecting. Is this how it played out in the leaks?
>>57003238I wouldn't be so particularly so hung up about it when the anime has the habit of revisiting Turtle-relevant locations or Regions. Maybe next time maybe not. I've resigned myself to the waiting game.
Lmao
>No romance at all>Suddenly pregnantIs this how it works in Pokemon? Why are they the writers so afraid? No wonder Japan is dying
>>57002033Liko if she was in Transformers Animated.
Well, that was super lame. If this is all there is to Lucius' backstory then goddamn did they fucked up to write something interesting. As the main plot and main power source of the Anime, it was incredibly weak
>>57003277>Is this how it works in PokemonLiterally yes
>>57002322I hate NTR but Gibeon being Lystal sister would at least have been more interesting than what we got. Shit was rushed as fuck
sup it's me again, ashnime sucks donkey balls btw>>57002855Thanks, now I don't have to make this webm myself
Haven't been keeping up with the fandom. I imagine the leaks of Liko and Roy getting that fire cool mon and surfer gold ghost turned out to be fake? I also heard Liko and co are facing the league but that sounds super unlikely considering they only have 3/2 Pokemon unless we get an Elite 4 Mission arc like with the Gym Leaders.
What should have happened:>Lucius and Gibeon were bros from the start, originally dreamt of finding Rakua together>They save Rystal, she joins them, Gibeon is not pleased to have a random third person join them>Rystal/Lucius grow closer, Gibeon feels Lucius is distracted by Rystal>Once they reach Rakua, Lucius and Rystal want to leave, frustrated Gibeon wants to stay, after all this was what they've been dreaming about for a long time, but now they just want to leave>Shit happens, the end.Having Gibeon and Lucius *randomly* meet and then spend no time on fleshing out their friendship makes the whole thing fall flat.
>...it's on my head, isn't it?
>>57003307Yeah, it was fake. Liko just got Terapagos as her third Pokemon. Roy has no third Pokemon yet. A League arc is unlikely, but they will meet Geeta again before they head into Area Zero. Currently they're heading to Johto to find Entei.
Legendaries just hang out there and they're probably unrelated to other sightings, like Galar swords to Unova
I was sad for this little shit. Curse of longevity, kind of.
>>57002354>PawmiThere's literally a Pawmi on ship that's afraid of everyone but Molly, not a chance of him getting one, their personalities clash too much.
>>57003332Why does he still act like a baby
>>57003341
>>57003310Fug
>>57003224>maybe the ashnime and hz threads should split.People have tried that before and the Ash threads were pathetically dead.
>/padt/ called this reasoning>>57003342>crying after a loss of someone dear to you makes you a babyYou've never lost anyone, or does nobody care for you on this planet so you wouldn't know how it feels? If the latter, I genuinely feel sorry for you.
>>57003342Because he is?, he spent like most of its life hibernating as a fucking jewel.
>>57003342>See your partner again after 100 years>Turns she's deadI think it's justified to be sad about it this time.
>>57003351I meant in general anon, the turtle still has the mentality of a (murderous) 3 year old
>her episode is comingAbout fucking time, I was worried she'd only ever appear in that school battle ep where she didn't do anything
>>57003359True, but not due to crying over seeing their dear partner for the last time ever.>last pic for this week
>>57003369Oh god, another genocidal freakmon.
>>57003341>>57003343Kek
>>57003319Good good, im still holding out hope Roy gets the toku bug
Watched the episodes with subs now, and I stand by what I said about this episode needing to be two or three. Even with potential Gibeon flashbacks in the future, there's tons of potential with the OG Explorers and their friendship that I don't think will ever be handled. Unfortunately, the powers that be are shaking from not having a Pokemon of the day episode in a while, so that has to be cut short. I wish they would get out of their own way into making something good.I figured Rakurium was going to end up being the base for Mega Evolution, given that it looks so similar to the Anistar crystal. Now I guess it's somehow related to Tera though, or maybe both. Maybe Tera crystals are smaller deposits that scattered when Gibeon fucked around with it; they're supposed to be made from a special quality of Paldea's soil, and it's not like the Rakurium couldn't spread through the terrain. The Anistar crystal likewise was a huge deposit of it, so it causes Mega Evolution and that fucks with Pokemon more. I want to know more now though.The retard need not reply to this about your fanfic, you won't get a response.
>>57003487Well the anime has a point of painting a picture through multiple perspectives. If by any means Lucius is able to share their tales or if it's gonna be handled like those special episodes then there's wiggle room for it there too.
>>57003273https://youtu.be/fhhz7l86KUU?si=Pe7IR4g0ih5yTiV-
>>57003641Just a little list.
>>57003487Yeah, i was expecting more. It was just >Oh you are looking for Rakua too? Sure I'll join. Wahh now I'm evil, AHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>57002354Pawmi might go with Dot. Roy probably would get something to hard combat the Rock weakness across both of his Pokemon. Liko's more rounded atm
Liko's cat will one day reach the final stage.
Considering Roy's Elite 4 rival is set up to be the dragon dude. Perhaps he will get a dragon too. A fairy would be too faggy
>>57003710A water/dragon type would be the middle ground.
>>57003710>A fairy would be too faggyEven grimmsnarl?
The pun with the next ep is probably gonna be a bitch to translate for the dub staff lmao
>>57003875I sure wobbuffet's name has been used for jokes enough time by now for it to not matter. I know mystery dungeon did fine enough with the wynaut/wobbuffet jokes and pokemon can talk in those games.Idk make the green haired guy's name wyatt and half the jokes work already.
>>57003875>Mollie: Why are you always taking a picture of me?>Camera dude: Why not?There you go.
Why would they put a scene like this in the show? What was their end goal?
Sorry, I said I wouldn't make a webm this week but I lied
>>57002813I think it will go down the recounted events in reverse in the Likonime. From Rystal's side with the fallout, to Gibeon's differences with Lucius, to Lucius's of how they have come together with snippets of their adventures. Lucius alone probably has a story to tell about how he got his hands onto Fug too.
>>57004013faster
>>57002181that scene is still talked about after 20+ years. Your turtle EmOtIOnaL scene will be forgotten in less than a month lol
Last episode was great, even though it could've been two episodes instead, also it would've felt more complete if they caught Entei too.
>>57004013Fug playing with Terapagos has so much soul it's unreal. No wonder the turtle has such a curiosity after it was able to stay in a awakened form with Liko and co, Fug raised the bar.
>Likonime's turtle convinced Fug to be its trampolineIt probably whispered sweet death over its predecessor.
>>57004029FASTER
>>57004035Cute
Are Goh, Liko, and Roy the only characters designed by Ken Sugimori specifically for the anime?
So about Lucca: Was anything in the leaks mentioned about her and Liko?
Liko will get a restraining order from Gurumin, won't she?
>Opens up without the usual title cardKewl
So.. that fucking corny bitch liko caught a terapagos outta nowhere cuz "muh inheritance n'shiiiiieeetttt" while his great grandfather also had a shiny reikkuza outta nowhere,while he casually met another faggot at a random tavern that casually had a shiny (out of all other choices there are) zygardo, that was casually sit there. 1000/10 story plot.Now we can understand the flop isn't due to Satoshi absence. The story director's are KUSOGÉ,and that's it./thread
>>57004116Can you be nice enough to use the word bloodline so my filter catches you. K thx.
>>57003322That guy reminds me so much of Seliph it's unreal.
>>57004116scath?
>>57003392The toku bug would be a nice addition but that would ironically put Roy in the same team weakness composition as Lucius.
>>57003307>>57003319I think that if the league shit would happen at any point tthen it would be after the planned Timeskip in the concept. Even then Liko was mainly in it to meet a female Pokemon trainer.
>>57004116Could you please drop a discord/some type of tag, I shall never harass you again.
>>57004116Didn't read
>Blatant shitposts getting dogpiled asap>Bringing up Shitcord and aliases unpromptedEnjoy the vacation retards.
>>57003342>Why does he still act like a babyIt had to say goodbye to someone who is already dead. Why is that a question?
>>57004116people will be mad at you but you're right. This whole series is like an elongated version of that retarded movie where TrAsh fought Rayquaza. Attaching the entire story to some random overpowered dude with legendaries doesn't work when Lucius is a boring charisma void (much like Liko) who's life and actions aren't compelling enough to want to follow. They crammed all his backstory and relationships into a single fucking episode. There's nothing left to dig into. >once upon a time there was a really powerful guy who got betrayed and then sacrificed himselfWe sat through episode after episode of bad animation and endless expository dialogue just for Lucius's backstory to be that uncreative. I'm immensely disappointed at how badly Horizons has shit itself. What a fucking letdown. Anyone with any foresight can see that all these characters and plot threads aren't going to lead anywhere satisfying, and that this series, like all the others before it, will have a shitty rushed ending as they scramble to conceptualize the next series. Only this time it'll be worse because they really tried to sell the story.
Why the fuck are people hyping up or hating on Liko catching Terapagos again? She's been nursing the turtle for over fifty episodes now, it's hardly a surprise that she'd eventually catch it. This isn't Goh catching a Suicune, it's a logical end game to the story that's been told so far. You don't even have to be watching HZ weekly; the turtle's been with Liko on posters for over a year now.
Being mad at others owning legendaries will never stop being funny.
>>57004230>She's been nursing the turtle for over fifty episodes now, it's hardly a surprise that she'd eventually catch it.>it's a logical end game to the story that's been told so far. You don't even have to be watching HZ weekly; the turtle's been with Liko on posters for over a year now.That's honestly the biggest kicker to me, anyone with two braincells should've seen it coming over a mile away but they choose to be angry over it now. Like is there a definition for someone getting angry over someone else having something that they don't have and you think that if you can't have it, nobody else should? I saw that shit before with Goh and goddamn this was the first of it captures getting becoming a toxic affair.
>>57004259>I saw that shit before with Goh and goddamn this was the first of captures getting becoming a toxic affair.Yeah I remember this too. Heavens forbid that Goh and Liko had context behind their captures that results in them not really forcing the legendary pokemon to do their bidding like all the years before.
>>57004235I'm not mad that anyone HAS legendaries. I'm annoyed that legendaries are such a focus when they're never as entertaining as normal garden variety mons. They're either christ-like little angel babies (Terapagos, Cosmog) or roaring beasts that need to be calmed down so they stop hyper-beaming (too many to count, but Rayquaza and Moltres most recently).Horizons was on fire when it was just the kids battling gym leaders and training their mons. All three were easy to root for and it was fun to see them improve and grow together. Current arc sucks dicks, I've never seen so much fucking yapping and exposition in Pokémon before, the story isn't good enough to warrant so many episodes of pure talking and explaining. It'll be clear in the end that all this exposition and build up was for nothing.
>>57004292That sounds more like a (you) problem then if you have a problem with the current arc. I literally dropped out during the third chapter when they did the gym leaders. But I guess everyone has their definition of what is fun and what isn't so I can't judge you.
>>57004278I liked Goh and Gary catching their Regis because it was straight outta the games. They battled, they landed their hits, they caught em. Nobody can even argue it wasn't deserved. There was no external bullshit or lore around it. They chadded up and caught them fair and square.I'm not against legendaries occasionally being caught, I just don't like legendaries being on screen all the time.
>>57004306There are subjective problems and objective problems. The current arc completely wasting Kitakami, having bad animation, and spending multiple episodes just yapping is just bad. Some people liked Lucius's backstory. I did not. But the entire production being jeopardized for weeks and weeks so that Lucius's hyped up backstory could come and go all in a single episode is genuinely awful.
>>57004045I think so
>>57004309You might like the Regis captures because it was straight of the games but I find it fucking boring that it was just like the games, I could replace them with any other Pokemon from raw scripting and that wouldn't be any difference, I cant even remember if they had any personalities which you know seperates them from being only a rip out of the game. Suicune and Terapagos are the least offensive case because you got to understand their positions and the time and circumstances around them. Suicune is a protector of the park where Gohs pokemon reside while going off on it's own sometimes. Terapagos is atleast a hundred year old turtle with some story behind it's blind curiosity of the modern world and its blissful unawareness over affairs. If I want legendary captures to be like the games then I would just play the fucking games. If the manga or the anime gets the chance to take a different approach at them they should fucking take it. The manga did it a long time ago and the anime started to catch up with it in Journeys and Horizons. Deal with it.
>>57004278The people being butt hurt at Goh and Liko catching legendaries just feels like it's Ashfags, they even sound the same back when Goh caught Suicune.
>>57004339>Terapagos are the least offensive caseIts the most offensive case yet. Up until now main legendary pokémon and third legendary pokémon were out of human touch because they are too strong and important for the world.But now Third Legendary Pokémon has become accessory to make some garbage OC special because the current writer doesn't know how to write an actual character.
>>57004339>play the fucking games>Deal with itChill out lmfao. I don't mind Suicune or Terapagos capture eps at all. I just liked the Regi capture episode because it was the first time the anime ever allowed two characters to capture legendaries through skill rather than happenstance. The moment was less about the legendaries and more about Gary and Goh's collaboration, which I enjoyed a lot. In any case, I don't think the anime needs to have MORE legendaries, I think they could benefit a lot from less time in the spotlight. It's pretty obvious to me that Horizons is spamming legendaries in the story because we don't get Pokémon movies anymore, and those used to be the dumping ground for boring legendary spam. I hope we can get the movies back next gen so that the main series doesn't need to be whored out so much.
>>57004116>The story director's [sic] are shit gamesHow about you look up the meaning of words before you use them big boy
>>57004230>She's been nursing the turtle for over fifty episodes now, it's hardly a surprise that she'd eventually catch it.Ash had raised Nebby when it was a freaking baby, May raised Manaphy as her child yet nether one of them were allowed to caught them. All Liko ever did was min min about how her ancestors is better than everybody. She had done absolutely nothing to be worthy to have a third legendary pokémon fall on to her lap outside of boasting about her magical bloodline.
to be honest I feel like a lot of Horizons fans are extremely defensive of any criticism, because a lot of Horizons criticism is made in bad faith by Ash Ketchum fanboys who just want their boring superhero back. Horizons fans don't want to hear any criticism whatsoever because they think it's coming from Ashfags.In reality, there are a lot of us who are more discerning of this series BECAUSE it's new and the decision to ax Ash got our attention. There's nothing I want more than a cool, fun new Pokémon series, but Horizons has shown itself to be poorly planned, bloated, and extremely prone to spinning its wheels. With the Lucius backstory having come and gone, it feels to me like everything the series wanted to build up is now over, and what lies ahead holds very little interest.
>>57004377No, I won't "chill" out. That's the problem, blatantly being like the games is just boring. Of course it doesn't have to an alien experience but atleast the anime can make the Pokemon appealing to kiddies that Legendaries are not just beatable lumps. Goh's Suicune and Terapagos are the example of remembering that they are legendaries while also showing that they are at their core down to earth as a living being in spite of their role.Suicune from Journeys and Terapagos are legendary captures done right in context of the story which is a obvious part of the anime and that's that. They were always dancing the line of being part of a trainer by being close friends to humans or someone before in both the main series and the movie, them only entering the ball was gonna happen at one point or another.
>>57004361>Up until now main legendary pokémon and third legendary pokémon were out of human touch because they are too strong and important for the world.It's canon that there are multiple Zygarde spread all over the world, and neither 10% or 50% are even that strong in canon-the former literally sub-Pseudo Legend tier and the latter was subdued by some edgelord and a funky machine in XY. 100% is the actual "get shit done" form and it requires two 50% meeting up, which is so rare that it almost never happens until shit actually needs to get done.Terapagos is an entire species too, and it clearly needs special circumstances to achieve it's strong powered up form (in the games it needs Stellar Tera meaning it's not even possible outside of Paldea and a few select locations with Tera Crystals, in the show it was clearly reacting to the Rakurium and still needed to draw on the Six Heroes present).This hang up over "muh LEGENDS!!!" is retarded bullshit that's still deeply entrenched in the idea that something that ends up on the front of a box or in marketing can only ever serve as a plot-driving mcguffin or story's end goal and using them for anything outside of that "cheapens" them when the series itself has clearly moved past that idea.
>>57004377>It's pretty obvious to me that Horizons is spamming legendaries in the story becauseThey has no actual compelling story to tell. They are trying to shill fanfic OC and how special they are to the point third legendary pokémon give up their dignity to became their servent.
>>57004417Oh fuck no, you're not starting this blatant falseflagging shit again.>Because they thinkIf I look into the threads where that F aggot is not there (Basically every recent friday), then any critism was not dismissed under the notion of "Muh Assh" but actually debated.To be honest, it's obvious to me that you lumping in horizons fans for only a singular is done in bad faith.
>>57004417>because they think it's coming from Ashfags.It is coming from Ashfags though. This one moron keeps talking shit about Liko being "special" while simultaneously defending how Ash was written in his last series (self-insert kid who can beat every Champion somehow and casually wields aura powers to beat Cynthia). This is not even getting into how Ash's Riolu somehow managed to catch up to Cynthia's Garchomp within the duration of the PWC.It's very hypocritical and plain obnoxious. Ashfags are pretty easy to spot.
>>57004429Stfu and stop replying to me when I criticize Horizons you retard. I criticize Horizons because I want it to be good. You criticize it because you need it to fail to support your obsession. You are a freak and nobody here wants you around.
>>57004443Chill out lmfao.
>>57004434It's funny because I'm also a massive Horizons fan and I've been critical of how rushed this Rakua backstory has been, but it's hard to have genuine discussions about it when you have the F aggot screaming the same old nonsensical arguments.
>>57004434>If I look into the threads where that F aggot is not there (Basically every recent friday), then any critism was not dismissed under the notion of "Muh Assh" but actually debated.This so much. I am actually able to enjoy the airing days because everyone talked about the thing that matters and that's the fucking episodes. Some criticism was said? Taken in stride. Someone didn't liked it? No biggie.This meta garbage over certain fans was always retarded because it's making an elephant out of a fly.
>>57004419You should chill out. (:I like both styles of capture, so long as neither are done too frequently. >>57004434I agree with you that not every Horizons fan does it but >>57004439 immediately proved my point by saying every Horizons critique comes from Ashfags, which is blatantly untrue.
>>57004464I was obviously referring to bullshit Horizons critique (LIKO IS SPECIAL BLAH BLAH BLAH), not reasonable Horizons critique, you absolute fucking moron.
>>57004387>>57004171>>57004173>>57004151>>57004136>floprizoniggers mad because FACTS were toldEat shit, faggots. Your shitanime is devoid of any plot that makes any sense. It was shit. It's shit. Will be forever shit.
Dumb frogposter
>>57004422>It's canon that there are multiple Zygarde spread all over the worldAnd nobody about able to caught them. Even Alain's Charizard got destroyed by it by Team Flare used special lazer to subdued it. There is nothing stopping Zygarde from going to its complete form as Squishy did it in the movie.Zygarde meant to monitor the eco system but now it reduced to a mere servent of a generic long white hair narcissist who is even worst than Lysandre. >Terapagos is an entire species too, and it clearly needs special circumstances to achieve it's strong powered up formTerapagos is the source of Terastalization itself so it can Terastalize anywhere and capable of destroying the surrounding in its Steller form. >when the series itself has clearly moved past that ideaNow, they are using third legendary pokémon as accessory to show how their OC is special and better than all the game and past anime characters because they has third legendary pokémon as their servent.
>>57004470And you think you don't sound like a defensive crazy person flying off the handle? Lmfao. I merely pointed out that Horizons critiques are often deflected as Ashfaggotry... and then an anon immediately replied saying it IS always Ashfags, literally proving my point. Horizons fanboys ARE paranoid and defensive (and irritable, clearly.)Doesn't mean your show is without value. Doesn't mean that you're ALL like that. (You) are though.
Based Goh and Liko
>>57004501Goh makes Roy look like a retarded toddler by comparison. Liko needs Goh in her crew
>>57004496When you have a series as garbage and trash fanfic like Horizon, the only thing you can do is deflect every criticism towards Horizon by referring the critiques as Ashfags.
>>57004496>>57004512Could not have been better timed for the retard to respond to a reasonable guy saying "stop being butthurt" by being butthurt but different. I don't think the retard understands that people aren't his friends.
>>57004496That you can't tell apart a single anon from a bigger amount of posters so you can only lump them in the same box just to feel safe says more about your inability to keep up with the threads and reply chain than about them honestly. Suddenly it's "not all of them" after claiming "a lot of them". Do you not even notice that a notable amount of anons flatout drop out of the thread whenever the F aggot or those sinking to his level derail the threads? And then you have the balls to call others irritable when those being irritated are by the derailment overall.
>>https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rKSDGz9iAgU&pp=ygUPdHN1Ym9taSdzIGRyZWFtImagine if we gotten a continuation of this. No magical destiny garbage, just a cheesy girl travelling the world to achieve something that her parents failed to win and maybe encounter the son of the trainer that defeated her mother.
>>57004495>And nobody about able to caught themProof? Zygarde doesn't exactly show up enough for this to be some solid statement. Also, it's entirely possible Gibeon either came into contact with a Core or even just befriended it when it was in a lower form and built it up over time.>Zygarde meant to monitor the eco system but now it reduced to a mere servent of a generic long white hair narcissist who is even worst than Lysandre.Zygarde is a species like literally any other. It probably has the heightened intelligence to be expected from it given what we saw in XY, but if we're to believe that it's as smart as a person, we ALSO have to believe that it can make decisions like one-some of which can be bad. Any one individual has no obligation to actually dedicate its entire existence to fulfilling its "save the environment" role, especially since it's only one of several in the world. This is exactly what I meant at the end of my last post-Zygarde can't POSSIBLY be it's own thing with its own autonomy that allows it to take a more active role in the plot-either as a good or bad guy. It can ONLY be an elusive creature that doesn't interact with humans until is absolutely has to despite us being shown that they're smart creatures with their own wills because it's a le legend.>Terapagos is the source of Terastalization itselfYes, but we also don't exactly know in what way. If anything, they might've only been the source insofar as the mass dying event they had during the seismic shifts of ancient Paldea left enough ambient energy around to eventually manifest into the modern day's Terastal. Also, once again, literally a species. Given Briar has seen one before (heavily implied to be a direct viewing, possibly the show's version of the ID climax) it's not crazy to think that the species is still alive, if not endangered and hidden, in the anime-which isn't a big leap from the games.
>>57004519Would be 10x better than TrAsh and SHITrizens
Must have missed the part where Brock tried to doom the planet.
Call me insane, but I don't think Horizons having an unsatisfying episode justifies suddenly acting like the entire series has been shit all along. It's like people are incapable of nuanced thinking, it's either good or shit, with no in-between. I'd love to see civilized discussions about HZ and its upsides/downsides, but as long as bad actors keep dragging down the quality of /padt/ threads, that will never be possible.
>>57004612>It's like people are incapable of nuanced thinking, it's either good or shit, with no in-between.Welcome to 4chan
Am I the only one who noticed a lack of a wedding, or even implication of marriage?Did these two seriously bang outside of wedlock?
>>57004549>Zygarde doesn't exactly show up enough for this to be some solid statement.Have you seen anybody except Gibeon own a Zygarde?>>57004549>. It probably has the heightened intelligence to be expected from it given what we saw in XY, but if we're to believe that it's as smart as a personWhich makes even sense for it to become the servant of a walking trash attempting to do something that Zygarde meant to stop. Even AZ's Floette left AZ after he became a genocidal maniac. >but we also don't exactly know in what wayEnough to permanently recharge Tera Orb, it is crystal from Terapagos energy that made Terastalization possible and allowed Sada/Turo to make time machine to pull pokemon from different timelines. Liko can literally turn it to its Steller form whenever she wants and beat everybody with it without developing any actual skill as a trainer. No amount of sugarcoating csn justify Liko getting Terapagos handed to her on sliver plate. Unless Liko face the same treatment as Kieran where Stellar Terapagos break free of her pokeball and somebody else catches it.
>>57004612More sugarcoating, none of Pokémon Horizon episode has be satisfying. The humour is dead, the characters are too boring, their interactions are too dull and there is nothing to look forward too. The last arc was purely carried by the game characters and even they didn't live up to their full potential.
>>57004620>Did these two seriously bang outside of wedlock?Yeah they did.
>>57004620Yes. And there is nothing wrong with that.
>>57004612Such a pivotal, built-up backstory winding up being generic and only one episode long is a huge disappointment when Lucius is literally the sun that this shows world revolves around. We have Lucius's turtle, Lucius's granddaughter, Lucius's rival, Lucius's heroes, and Lucius's Rayquaza. The entire show is about him, and ultimately he doesn't feel worth it now that there's nothing left to learn about the man. It stings more because so much time was spent building him up. Lots of lore dump episodes that could have been spent fleshing out neglected mons or the relatively weak Liko/Roy relationship. I don't think this production crew is suited to long arcs, mysteries, and payoffs. In another timeline, Horizons is just about Liko and the airship crew charting the world and having battles and misadventures, and I think Liko's character would flourish. Having the first female primary protagonist largely emulate her male relative is disappointing.
>>57004612And of course the second and third reply prove anon's point about nauncy.
>>57004612Nigga this was not just some random filler, this was THE plot and backstory episode. Something so important should be absolutely stellar, not something "just okay", much less something straight-up lacking and rushed.
>>57004718Hi, I'm the third reply. My post has plenty of nuance (nuancy is not a word), you just don't like hearing critiques that are harsh.
>>57004612I'm mad they utterly wasted Kitakami. Making Carmine a COTD is utterly egregious >but i-it can't be just like the games!Why not? The game managed to tell an actually compelling story, which clearly the anime cannot do
>>57004768And Arven was a no-dialogue cameo. People genuinely think he's going to come back, as if they wouldn't have made him speak back then.
>>57004620yes and they made gibeon listen
>>57004439>Ash was written in his last series (self-insert kid who can beat every Champion somehow and casually wields aura powers to beat CynthiaAsh already reached his peak during DP series and reach a level to defeat Champion until he got nerfed. In a normal circumstance, Ash would have gotten Rashirem to defeat Zekrem and because participate in the world Tournament. But the anime thrown that way to their precious resist character .
Rystal clothes were dumb as fuck.
I don't get it, is the Snake the real villain?
>>57004787>Ash already reached his peak during DPkek. If this is Ash's peak then it's no wonder Nemona is only interested in Roy.
>>57004721Call me crazy or retarded but with the anime having the current deal going on about different perspectives to the story multiple times, you suddenly expect THE story to stop after only getting another perspective? Call me crazy but I think that after Rystal, not the main guy himself, told them what Gibeon is going for with the Rakurium because she never spent all that time with him to understand his motivation to obtain it, one could think of:>Ah so what about Gibeon's side of the story? He might share his perspective to his grandsonThe narrative shifted over the last year shifted from Rakua being a paradise of nothing being known about it to Lucius reaching it and seemingly leaving behind his six heroes, to it having some kind of treasure to then change it to being a deathtrap. I saw it all different takes of it, and there was one post making a point of all those bits forming a bigger picture.I am not expecting a great and grand masterpiece answer but after over 70 epsiodes of characters that were dismissed as COTDs returning like Nemona, after promises being treated like they gonna be shoved under the rug actually being kept, I find it actually baffling that this is assumed again. For God's sake, they even had a episode showing how Friede met Pikachu and you think that they won't do the same Lucius and Fug?
>>57004812>they won't do the same *for Lucius and Fug?
>>57004812I sure would be loved to be proven wrong later on and maybe certain things will get more expansion in the future but I honestly I think Lucius and Gibeon meeting one another three quarters of the way is a massive mistep for this when one of the biggest expectations and questions was how fucking everything went to shit and made Gibeon go ow the edge. It being such a late meeting instead of a life-long friendship going sour as the adventure went on or something like that makes it lose a shitton of gravitas. A betrayal from someone you've known your entire life? Heartbreaking. A betrayal from the dude you meet just a bit ago? That sucks but I'll live no big loss. Even if the point of this flashback as not to explain Gibeon that we went from hey I'm Gibeon nice to meet you let's rakua my fellow rakuears to uuuuuuuoooooooh crystals fap fap fap just makes you go wut. Like I said, a lot of possible weight has been lost.
>>57004620Rewatched the previous ep and this one, and not once does Rystal refer to Lucius as her "husband". Nigga really did knock her up in the woods. What a slut.
>>57004797No, it actually stopped Gibeon by trying to contain the explosion of the rakurium
>>57004856And honestly, that still doesn't take away from the criticism. Even if more flashback backstory explaining episodes are coming in it just means that those would also be the THE episodes too. All of them should be stellar because of how meaningful they're for the greater narrative.
>>57004783>it takes 9 months for a baby to be born>Rystal still has a fine looking bod when Lucius sacrifices himselfDear god...No wonder Gibeon turned evil.
>>57004856Massive agree. I think Horizons will still have moments of joy and satisfaction but they fucked up the most important stuff.
>>57004783>>57004873This is not as funny anymore now that we know Gibeon met them way later on and when they'd probably already fucked long before they met Gibeon too.If I were a fujo I'd be so disappointed at how my Lucious x Gibeon and Gibeon getting cucked and Gibeon going evil because a tart stole his man fantasies were destroyed.
>>57004898I never said he was cucked. I was pointing out her pregnancy timing means he was there when they did it.Nobody wants to be around their friends when they are fucking.
>>57004783>>57004873Just 2 years ago, this would rightfully be brushed aside as coomer shitposting, but it's literally all true. If this was the Ashnime, there would've been at least a screencap showing them getting married during the journey, if not already husband and wife.This is wild.
>>57004783Just listen?
>>57004856I don't think they put much weight on it being a friendship. But then again they played around with the definitions and phrasing. Not to say that you're wrong in feeling bumped out that it's not a life-long friendship, but there are more bits in between that are alluding to them spending time together.Diana noted that the three were remembered at one point over a photograph as the explorers, which they called themselves a while after Gibeon joined the two. So how much time has passed between those instances? There is also some more time in between to the point where Rystal knew she was with a a baby. That photo was from one of the folks that had memoirs from Lucius's time, suggesting that they operated long enough as the explorers to be remembered as that title.While I understand the apprehension towards the story, I also highlight the track record about the anime and their follow ups on events.
>>57004856>A betrayal from the dude you meet just a bit ago? That sucks but I'll live no big loss.We have no idea what the period was from when he met Gibeon to when Rakua was found. Could've been a few months or could've been up to a year+.
It's midafternoon, so hopefully the retard has fallen asleep. How do you think Lucius got Fug in the first place? It seems like that was his first Pokemon altogether. Maybe Legendaries were more common in the past, but it's also clear from how the goons at the beginning reacted that Rayquaza is still considered fearsome.
>>57005100I think it can range between meeting it when it was hurt to just helping it out in a similar manner to when Kleavor got captured by those hisuian folks.
>Are you ready, Rystal? I'm using Harden!>Go for it, Lucius! Activate your ability Long Reach!>Pound! Pound! Pound!>Ah! It's super effective!>I'm at my limit! Seed Bomb!>Well done... I'm exhausted...Everything Gibeon did was justified.
>>57005112Him listening to two of his friends doing it mustve been torment
>>57005126What stopped him from joining in?
>>57005112i want to see gibeon doing the YABBA DABBA DOO face so fucking badly
>>57005100Either taking a page out of the 3d games and have it placed in an unfavorable situation for him to help it out. Or straight hunting for it himself. It's a free real estate to how he met it. If they still keep the whole imitation aspect of Reshiram and Zekrom as in truth and ideals (Which seems to be the case with the parallels between the Pokemon and Lucius to Gibeon) then it might tied back to the idea.
sorry I made another webmAnd still haven't read the spamming ashfaggot's drivel
>>57005144Can you make one of Rystal and Lucius's first meeting?
>>57005151Be more specific and it shall be delivered

>>57005194>>57005201It's way too curious to look away
>>57005201Wonder if they also make those funny squeaky sounds tortoises make and if they fall over after they're done
>>57005197Not at that point
>>57005208>You spin me right round, baby right roundThe turtle is too curious for its own good.

Has Rhydon died yet?

>>57005240Yeah
>>57005144So what will Liko's 5 other pokemon be. Unless they're just gonna give her the rest of the 6 heroes.

And then, you will HAMMER ARM and CLOSE COMBAT her in order to leave her in a CONFUSED and INJURED state, in which her PLEASURE will be AMPLIFIED?!?!?

>>57005240Who are they trying to fool?
>>57005240>>57005373I don't get it. Are people just so used to people being married before they (voluntarily) get kids, or would people just find it too "scandalous" if they weren't married?
For all this place's faults and how our buddy keeps muddying the waters, at least here you're able to criticize Horizons freely especially if it's for legitimate reasons. The thread in the other boards is an echo chamber and saying anything remotely negative about it no matter the context is frowned upon.
I can't get over how disappointing the last episode was. So many things were a letdown: 1) Shiny Rayquaza/Zygarde have no special significance to Rakua, they were just randomly owned by two guys with no backstory provided for how they got them. This bothers me a lot especially because in the original plans, they explicitly planned for Zygarde and Rayquaza to be guardians of Rakua ("Watcher" and "Mediator" of Rakua), and what we got instead is just less interesting.2) The famous Rakua from legends looks like a generic location you could find in any random anipoke episode, with the exception of Rakurium's presence which was the only unique thing about it.3) We basically spend no time with Explorers being friends and we just jump to them finding Rakua and Rakurium and Gibeon turning against his comrades.My only hope is that Gibeon's episodes will provide more flashbacks from his perspective and flesh out his and Lucius's friendship because this was abysmal. I really like Horizons, but holy fuck, how did they think this was a good idea?
>>57005386In Japan it's looked down upon if its happening out of wedlock but usually do woman get a pass if the father dies. Basically the same as back then where no divorce was accepted and it was only fine to remarry when one of the two have already died.
>>57005400I get that Japan is very traditionalist about stuff like this, but why are Western wikis claiming that they were married?
>>57005390Stop caring about the other board for gods sake, anon. When they take a peek here when there is another derailment shitshow going on and see your post, that will only give them ammunitation. Don't start to metafag
>>57005416I don't know. Probably since it's common to hammer down the label husband underneath it. Probably the first case for Pokemon. Lover or Girlfriend wouldve been more appropriate but eh
>>57005482>>57005482
>>57005397Yeah. I've enjoyed a lot about HZ, like Dot, the airship, the entire school arc... but when it MATTERS, the plot is dogshit. I mean purely derivative, boring, overly telegraphed, uninteresting dogshit. Such a bad decision to deviate so strongly from the games, too, in this of all generations when SV actually has a good framework for an anime adaptation to push it over the top. Many anons say that it's better to be fully original, but I vehemently disagree. Originality alone doesn't make something good, execution absolutely matters. And I KNOW with this production quality and this staff, we could have had an excellent SV anime with new non-Ash heroes. This episode really disappointed me. Maybe I was naive and let the usual suspects hype it up to be more cinematic and interesting than it was... it looked nice but it did not make up for what has been the most poorly animated arc of Horizons thus far.Does it feel like they're kinda winding down to anyone else?
>>57004046This is the most heartwarming shit I've ever seen
>>57005373Bulbapedos mods are retarded. They're still trying to argue that Ash's Charizard is non-binary and banning people who cite sources for Charizard being referred to as a boy.
>>57004787>But the animeThrew that away because of the Traitor Yuyama
>>57005775Kill yourself useless Aussie piece of garbage.
>>57005786Threads on bump limit anyway so gonna have some fun
>>57005390I sometimes lurk the other board's thread. If you're who I think you are, your "criticisms" are shallow and rigidly autistic and have nothing to do with HZ. Try coming up with actually criticisms instead of the pissant shit I've seen you post there.
/a/ here, yesterday's /a/ thread was a complete fucking shitshow for the first two-three hours after the episode had ended, and it was extremely identifiably because of fags from here. Stay in your own shithole and keep your sperging here, we don't want you on /a/.
>>57006280The irony
>>57005979Nah, just someone who lurks both. I don't actually comment on the show much in either thread, I don't have much to say.
>>57004495>Even Alain's Charizard got destroyed by it by Team Flare used special lazer to subdued it. There is nothing stopping Zygarde from going to its complete form as Squishy did it in the movie.Not every instance of a legendary is at the same power level. The birds in M2 were treated as an apocalyptic level threat, but in later seasons like RS and XY they’re basically stronger regular pokemon- same for Lugia where it went from “god of nature” to “stronger regular mon that’s a mom with a kid.” Rayquaza went from a mon that constantly just lost things like cubes and rocket grunts to an unstoppable force of nature, while the opposite portrayal happened to Kyogre and in SM one was struggling against regular poachers.
>>57004622>Even AZ's Floette left AZ after he became a genocidal maniac.Not all pokemon react the same way to their trainers. Lysandre’s pokemon in the very same game stuck by him, trusted him, and lent him their power despite following in his ambitions that he stated would kill all pokemon. Zygarde likely still considers Gibeon its friend, but also understood that the rakurium shouldn’t be left unchecked.
>>57006325What irony? I don't think anyone from /a/ comes here particularly much.
>>57006325>>57007346Can you both stop? Metafagging is what ruins both /vp/ and /a/ and it's off-topic anyway. Just stick to your side of the fence and just leave it at that.
>>57007356I don't go to /a/, I was just saying that aside from the once-every-five-months-or-so when someone comes here to make one or two posts complaining about anons from here shitposting on /a/ and ruining threads there, I've never seen anyone claiming to be from/clearly being from /a/ here.
>>57007389I understand but still please don't feed into a problem that's been crippling the boards overtime.
>>57007389Or put another way, these threads don't have a particularly good reputation on /vp/ as it is, so someone from another board also coming here to complain about posters from here being a nuisance is hardly a "the irony" situation. Take that shit to heart.
>>57006502>The birds in M2 were treated as an apocalyptic level threatIt was effect of the area they were fighting rather than the bird as Professor Oak explained.>same for Lugia where it went from “god of nature” to “stronger regular mon that’s a mom with a kid.”Lugia in every version still dam strong and that Lugia outright caused a storm.>Rayquaza went from a mon that constantly just lost things like cubes and rocket grunts to an unstoppable force of natureRayquaza was already weakened from fighting Deoxys that destroyed him with its speed form. >, while the opposite portrayal happened to KyogreThat Kyogre at the end destroyed the poacher.
>>57006516Except Zygarde not a regular Pokémon that acts as the mindless servant of a mad man. It is legendary pokémon that monitor the ecosystem and remove anybody who threatened them as thats their job. Pokémon 2023 reduced Zygarde into a mindless slave with no dignity to serve their garbage OC.
>>57007641>>57007643Your lack of braincells and your misunderstanding of them shows your ESL and your garbage logic. Just shut up Fagmon. You're a retarded man child and a homeless failure wasting his life on his phone to convince others otherwise.
