 Welcome to the thread for discussing the Pocket Monsters Sun and Moon anime! After like half a year from first airing the thread's finally here! For you to post in! I can't be arsed to write up a plot summary since everyone should know what Pokemon is by now so I'll just go over the major differences in this new season:
Meet the characters:  Ash (Satoshi): The main character. Has chronic ten-years-old syndrome, it's very tragic. Fortunately, Pokemon is (usually) not a tragic show so it's not a problem!  Pikachu (Pikachu): The electric mouse who has accompanied Ash through his entire journey.  Kiawe (Kaki): Watch out, here comes best boy.  Lillie (Lilie): The only reason I included her in the OP before I lost steam was to just link this.  Bewear (Kiteruguma): The true final boss There's like a billion other characters and I'm too tired to write up a stupid little thing about them and take meme screenshots so I'll do the rest later. It's not like the show doesn't introduce the characters really well anyways. Rules:

did they do a hard reset on Ash and Pikachu again like at the beginning of X/Y? Also, what are those things on Ash's face? They're kinda where lines that indicate cheeks would be on anyone else, but they're lightning bolt shaped, and no other character has them. Did... did Pikachu brand him?

Erg posted:My favorite Pokémon is Typhlosion, please tell me if it makes an appearance in this season tia Best Gen 2 Starter  I'm not really watching the show anymore, but I do appreciate the clips I've seen online; this show is stylish as heck and looks so good when animated compared to previous seasons. I am interested to see how they'll adapt the overarching plot of the Sun/Moon games though, since it's just been so different from the traditional formula. Good thread, Hope you update the OP to include other characters.

Julias posted:Best Gen 2 Starter plotwise it hasn't really moved further than ash beating tapu koko yet, but some of the standalone episodes (well, I guess the vast majority of them are this at this point) namely the most recent Litten and Stoutland episode have been very good. The one mentioned especially so, definitely did not expect that level of this tone to show up in Pokemon and it had a real good Meowth segment.

Is the dub finally starting to air? Last I checked (which admittedly was a quite a while ago) there was only 3 or 4 episodes dubbed.

I'm like six eps or so behind, but this series is pretty good. I'm most worried about what they're going to do with Lillie though. She seems pretty different from her game counterpart, who ended up having a really nice arc, so I hope they don't mess it up. Other than that, it's kind of sad that every other character is infinitely more enjoyable than Ash. Like, it was clearly a priority to make the characters in SunMoon more memorable than XY, so Ash ends up sticking out like a sore thumb.

The dub starts up on the 13th, the standard Saturday morning fare. Right now you're about 20 episodes behind, but as far as big plots go, there hasn't been too much. I'm interested in how this story goes, the anime has never stayed in one place for long and I hope Ash will want to go on an island hopping adventure soon. Maybe they're starting with this since the region might not be big enough for a 170 episode tour like usual. Kanto, Hoenn and Unova sure didn't

Team Skull Trio fought the Rocket Trio recently. And Gladion will show up soon. Though one thing I wonder is why they did not include Acerola in the main cast. She would have fit in great. MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 03:03 on May 13, 2017 |

Yeah, I've been wondering that too as Nebby/Cosmog hasn't even appeared yet (I really hope they don't end up shoving that stuff into a movie or something as it's pretty important to the game's plot). Gladion shows up next week though so maybe they'll finally start getting into developing her a bit, especially since we alreay know he's her brother thanks to Lillie's family photo we saw a couple episodes back (I'm more curious how they're going to handle Lusamine myself or, even more so, how the dub is going to handle her).

Even if it's another three years of flopping around and achieving ultimately nothing story wise (Which given the games actually tried to some degree would be something of a shame), this will prove to be the starting ground of some AMAZING animator careers. I've only dipped into the dub because, honestly, DuArts just stopped caring after a point and losing the Inazuma Eleven text is a massive bummer but they did get in the one joke I hoped they'd play in Mimiku's introduction episode where Meowth refuses to translate what Mimiku's saying as Pokemon's a family show. Also, calling it right now That Bewear is lusamine's and she's savy to how Team Rocket just end up ending any local gang's ambitions.

I'd legitimately be completely fine if this season of the anime is entirely just shenanigans and slice of life stuff.

This is my anime of the season, 2 seasons running and gunning for 3rd. The animation and stories are just so fun and delightful. It's just fun seeing stuff like the baseball ep or the pancake race. And there's a sense of honesty with its charm, like how it tackled the dog dad episode and even the seemingly generic "whoops, i thought i was moving but it was a Misunderstanding, the web of lies unravels" ends on an extremely positive note rather than a dumb gag. For once, every episode of a pokemon series is worth watching.  (except maybe 19 with the tapu koko rematch, that just felt unnecessary after the first six minutes)Cannot wait for Bewear to cast a black hole into the universe to save his friends or for Pikachu to learn how to GIGA DRILL BREAKER.

Yeah half of the charm of PSM is waiting to see how Bewear will cart TR off. Edit: OK no, I've just realied that Gladion is voiced by the guy who VO's Bakugo and Accelerator, that is officially the best. ConanThe3rd fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Jun 4, 2017 |
