Amethio is arguably one of the strongest old guy characters (Which is a small bar considering Gibeon is on turbotism for over 100 years but still). Out of touch with his former students and still flexing much until Agate stopped pulling punches to her chagrin.

When have that ever stop anyone from getting something? Roy didn't have Lucario until after the timeskip. There is nothing stopping Liko or Dot getting one that can mega evolve.

>>59131327
Since they already did the origin story on how Roy met Lucario, it could have peak the interest of Liko and Dot and try to get a mega stone of their own. Liko could get Absol since her whole thing is about learning more about pokemon and their feeling. Since Absols are hated for the ability to bring disaster (not really, they sense it), Liko could find one that hate/afraid of humans that hurt it, but she manage to get through it's hatred and form a bond that allow mega evolution. Dot could get Mega Tatsugiri since they she's related to Murdock and this could give them a closer connection since Murdock watched the false dragons.

>>59131304
There was nothing stopping Ash from calling Oak and grabbing one of his Mega capable Pokémon instead of pulling Ash-Greninja out of his ass. Until Liko creates Liko-Meowscarada she will always be better than Ash.
>>
>>59131216
>Tera is enough essentially
Apparently it isn’t considering the writers upgraded Roy, Friede and the Explorers with it post-timeskip. And nothing is stopping the writers from having Liko and Dot catch a Mega Evolution capable Pokémon especially when Friede can just show up with a Starmie that he was given just so they could meme Mega Starmie. Hell, the Brave Asagi already has Snorunt and Tatugiri both of who are capable of achieving Mega Evolution so there’s no excuse

>Liko could find one that hate/afraid of humans that hurt it, but she manage to get through it's hatred and form a bond that allow mega evolution
Decent line. It would also set Liko up with a few Pokemon that make her come over the hurdles to understanding Pokemon.

I'm new here. I just started watching this show, I'm on episode 15 and so far its kinda... boring, not a fan of Roy (so far), but I'm having a good time I think so I'm gonna go all the way.
What's the honest consensus here? Is it a good show? Do you like it more than the Ash anime?
>>
>>59133363
It's fine. If you mainly in it for the game characters, hop in from episode 46 for the third chapter (Which is basically a what if of the terastal course that the player got to skip in SV).
Liko and Dot are my favorites.
>>
>>
>>59133363
>>59133374
Oh ok, so basically it does get better later, that's great.
I love all the adult characters of the cast, especially Mollie which is the one I know more up to this point. Her character concept and backstory is just so cool to see in an official Pokemon media, is something I'd expect more from a fanfic (this is a weird compliment I know), so I'm expecting more cool things.

You need to stop sugercoating just because you don't want to come off as an Ash fan.

I am an Ash fan though. Well, kind of like a poser since I skipped a lot of it. I'm sensing some vitriol towards the Ash anime in this post and I want no part in it.

You mean it progressively get worst when the anime outright starts disrespecting third legendary pokemon.
>I love all the adult characters of the cast,
They are even more pointless and irrelevant than Professor Sakuragi. If the anime remove all of them except Orio, it wouldn't change a thing.
>especially Mollie
She is by far the worst. Her entire character is " Hey look , I am so edgy & serious so I'm so much better than all those other Nurse Joy working on Pokemon Center". Even an average Nurse Joy is far superior character than her, they knows to be strict and sassy while also maintaining a kinder sweet personality as nurse which makes them superior compare to Molly who looks like a highschool loser dressing like a punk for attention. Her goal is not interesting ether because we already seen the most beautiful Nurse Joy with the same goal but she actually seek sick wild pokemon to treat unlike Molly who just sit on an airship and believe it will magically take her to all the sick wild pokemon because she is special.
In fact, Molly's character so bad that the anime has to erase Miriam because she would have mogged Molly. I won't forgive her for that.

Quick reviews of the Pokémon movies I've watched so far. I watched them all dubbed.
>Pokémon: The First Movie
Mewtwo's a great antagonist and carries the show. Pikachu crying still breaks me. Pretty good, even if nostalgia carries it.
>Pokémon the Movie 2000
Alright. The action's great, but I also would've liked more downtime before it. I hate the legendary birds' cries. The World will turn to Ash is still clever.
>Pokémon 3: The Movie
Not as good as I thought it was, but still great. Love the set design and the more personal story. Its pacing is the problem. It's just too quick. It is a more relaxing though, which is nice.
>Pokémon 4Ever
Celebi is cute. The ending is kino. Not much to say. Pretty good.
>Pokémon Heroes
Very solid movie. Great character moments. Looks great. Latitas is Ash's best girl.
>Pokémon: Jirachi, Wish Maker
Kinda boring unless Max is on screen. I preferred the boring. Ending fight and fun villain saves it. Not bad.
>Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys
Solid movie. Likable cast and fun spin of an invasion movie. What the fuck was Rayquaza's problem?
>Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea
inb4 isn't Lucario's movie next. Yes, but I watched it out of order. But this is the real reason I'm posting this. This is the best Pokémon movie. The cast is great. Fun villain. Manaphy's adorable. The visuals are at their best with lovely color grading. Action is always exciting and the ending the tearjerking. Genuine fantastic movie. Bring back the Pokémon Rangers.

>Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew
Now we're back. Another solid movie. Lucario is super cool and his arc is satisfying. The time flowers are pretty contrived but they work for the character arc. ün ün ün
>Pokémon: The Rise of Darkrai
It's good, but I was expecting more. Especially from Darkrai. The rich guy was kinda annoying but at least, he's more of a punching bag than anything. Why does everyone give Palkia shit?
>Pokémon: Giratina and the Sky Warrior
Shaymin's a little shit. Other than that, it's alright. Train chase was cool.
>Pokémon: Arceus and the Jewel of Life
Eh. It took me till this movie to realize I was in a trilogy. The past seems cool, but the "twist villain" really holds it back. Why does Arceus sound like that?
>Pokémon-Zoroark: Master of Illusions
Zorua is cute enough and the villain's the right amount of evil and greedy. Pretty good.Zoroark is still astroturfed
>Pokémon the Movie: White-Victini and Zekrom
Victini is hard carrying this movie. I genuinely don't understand the "villain's" motive and his redemption is glossed over. It does look nice, at least. Thank goodness I only watched one version.
>Pokémon the Movie: Kyurem vs. the Sword of Justice
Not a fan of Keldeo and this movie only reaffirms it. He's just annoying and I support Kyurem decking the little shit. The Swords are cool, I wish it was their movie.
>Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened
Eh. The Genesect is cute, but that's it. Why is Mewtwo a girl now?
>Pokémon the Movie: Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction
Another Eh. Diancie are charming enough, but I don't like XY cast. The three starter villains should've had more screen time. Yveltal is such a nothing legendary.
And that's it for now.

It's ok, it's more slice of life-y, more centered in the human characters, and a lot less focused in pokémon battles. So it really depends on what you care about in a show. If you're looking for a pokémon battle shonen you won't like it.
You can tell it's a more experimental formula with a goal that diverges from the traiditional gym challenge, which is something I dig. Some things have been well executed, others not so much. You have already watched the first string of episodes, I think the writers were still figuring out at the time what they wanted out of this series. That's why it seems a bit aimless.
As another anon said, it's a solid 7/10. It's not revolutionizing the anime industry, and it takes a dip in a couple of arcs, but it's a decent story with an interesting premise.
Personally I think it's in the endgame and not meant to continue from there, and that's a good thing. The ashnime was left to rot for too long due to the influence of an autistic director. Maybe the next anime will be great if they learned the right lessons.
Also, ignore the output from the resident schizos.

>t's more slice of life-y,
There is nothing slice of life about this anime.
>You can tell it's a more experimental formula with a goal that diverges from the traiditional gym challenge, which is something I dig
Which makes Ash's replacement pointless.
>As another anon said, it's a solid 7/10.
Only if you self inserted as Roy.
>The ashnime was left to rot for too long
Yet it was still more enjoyable and respected the legendary pokemon and the lore behind them.
>Maybe the next anime will be great if they learned the right lessons.
After watching third legendary pokemon like Rayquaza and Zygarde being butchered to glorify bunch of OC, I do not want another "Horizon" to do more damage to the series that Horizons already did in just three years.
Just have Ash travel with new friends to explore a single region and build a new team to take out new villains trying to screw the world if every future pokemon anime going to be about fighting forces of evil .

I would really prefer for the series to just end, and for us to go without anipoke for a few months. Horizons has so obviously run its course, and for me, it wasn't very fun to follow along with. I think it was a learning process for OLM, and while I really didn't like it, I think it could be a good stepping stone towards their next Pokemon anime.
The idea of enduring an extra year of Liko and Roy sucks. This shit was not built to last.
