If his name is based on the plant, the first. But wouldn't the Japanese writing of his name (they're the same) give it away?

That's so cool. Ash sounds like he's becoming a pretty good dude. I haven't seen too many people hating on Ash for losing the finals. I've seen a lot of hate on Alain for being one hell of a Mary Sue.

The writers clearly had a plan but made a complete hash of executing it in a way that doesn't the audience throwing chairs into the ring.

Alain basically went from "Side story protagonist with Charizard, Mega Evolution and Team Flare" to "X-Pac: Avatar of the writers."

Yeah, I haven't kept up with the show other than seeing the league final because of hype but this is along the lines of what I've been hearing. Apparently the Team Flare conflict is supposed to be the resolution to all this rather than the Pokemon League which is kinda weird since the league is usually the last big thing that wraps up the main story.

To be fair, Best Wishes did a similar thing (Had the league, then Episode N, the "Going back to Kanto" episodes) but they largely kept them separate.

I get the impression the date of SM kinda caught the writers with their pants down and they're rushing to get XYZ done so the Mega Evolution Arc and the Leauge Arc and Episode Flare kinda got smushed into a mess.

Really? Couldn't tell in amongst all the stupid bullshit like 156 new designs (An overabundance of designs nessesitating dipping into "Shoe" levels of non effort and taking the piss and yes and I'm talking about that stupid ice cream cone and the bin bag), scaling EXP (I know it's always been a thing but BW2 took it to an extreme that was just a frustration to play), a villain team that, whilst trying to present a nuanced argument about humans and pokemon, was blatantly evil except for N who ranges from the genuinely stupid to a complete creep and Best Wishes the less of which said the better.

I wouldn't be surprised if Skull vs Aether is basically a bunch of angry Millennial gently caress ups (Guzma mentioned he failed becoming a trail captain as did the prof who just took things in his stride and became a resercher) just having beef with a bunch of people who look like they were factory processed out of Eton and the UBs are just there.

I'm still bummed out with Game Freak having the perfect set up with Porygon Z and squandering it in Gen 6 by having no Porygon X and Porygon Y.
To be fair, Porygon nearly destroyed the franchise. I wouldn't begrudge anyone involved wanting to bury it as hard as possible.

The most important reason there won't be another DS isn't because they want to centralize all their games on to one platform, but because they want their platforms to be Console/Mobile, and not Console/Handheld. They'll make more money in the mobile arena then they ever will trying to sell another handheld and console at the same time. The combination of handheld and console into one on the Switch is a convenient way to have their cake and eat it too.

Smogon actually made a hypothetical Bug/Ice 'mon as the first entry in their Create-a-Pokemon thingy. They gave it a made-up ability that lets it ignore entry hazards and Rock-type attacks when switching in. Not surprisingly, they also gave it total glass cannon stats (high Atk/Sp.Atk/Speed and poor everything else) and a ridiculous movepool (Tail Glow :lol:).

Sub. If nothing else, the sub has the Inazuma Eleven attack captions.

Also I have no faith in DuArts being able to get any emotion out of thier cast which will be important in about four months time.
