Awesome episode once again theyve done it right... BUT LOOK AT MY GREMLIN BOY HE'S SO CHOOOONNNNKYYYYYYYYY

[sambadeamigosgato]

Dude throwimg my hat in the ring just for this

Would Primarina count as Incineroar's doppleganger or is there another one that fits him

The Smash Bros. cast swapping anecdotes about their various evil doppelgangers and Mario getting into an argument about whether Wario counts.

[sambadeamigosgato]

Cinny's lore is so funny because it's basically just "Yeahhhh this torracat was going to evolve but then a moon stone somehow fell from the sky and it hit it mid evolution and she just became a girl."

Also she's literally technically not an Incineroar because it hit her before she FULLY evolved. She does have some abilities similar to incineroar but she is still a Torracat.

thought that i had less than a minute ago cancelled, now thinking about satoshi & kukui's respective lucario training together. satoshi kukui double battle with their respective lucario & gaogaen,,,,,

[smilingperformer]

Next week actually looks interesting based on the preview, but also, MIJUMARU GAOGAEN FIARROW KABIGON AAAAH.

Also Oricon released five(!) new screencaps and it confirms Lapras return!!!

[meistoshi]

it's a whirlwind of move against move, & gaogaen takes fun in yanking & throwing the fairy - type at every opportunity, yanked & thrown in turn by bowie knife's own strength when purchase allows. fire moves melt left over ice & cause puddles that cause mud, & the champion team are not above aiming moves to hurl said mud in the nymphia's face.

gods, it hasn't even been that long since the pokémon world championship finals, but satoshi has well & truly missed such explosive battles ...

the arena thunders & sparks & burns, move meeting for move, or finding deflections or grit, pokémon being switched in & out, falling & struggling up. it feels like all too soon that three of both battlers' teams are down & they are forced into half - time to repair the field. satoshi holds back the whine of annoyance.

he's got fifteen minutes to send the fallen absol, gaogaen, & hitomoshi over to the artificial island's pokécenter & catch his breath, as well as hear pikachu complain loudly about not yet being switched in. it's been really looking forward to this, it really cannot wait !! & yet, it will. so there.

satoshi asks the nurse joy to allow the recovering trio join the audience on the lawns alongside the stands when they're good to be outside of their pokéballs again, promising on their behalf that they'll be on the best behavior, & he weaves through crowds to rush himself back to the field entrance with minutes to spare. it really is funny how people can see him on the battlefield but a dozen minutes prior & yet not recognize him as he runs past. lucky, too ; the last thing he needed was to get caught up before half - time was up.

speaking of which ...

the final chime rings, & the battlers are resummoned to the field, & the champion only feels more excited. the field is reset, the battlers refreshed, & satoshi is beyond ready to continue the match with renewed vigor.

❛ hope ya didn't cool off too much during the break, kid !! ❜

firing on all cylinders, satoshi calls on lucario for the top of the second half. the aura pokémon is a mirror image of its trainer's eagerness.

the battles really don't get any easier, & satoshi is thrilled for it.

ree taps out king bowser, whispering a job well done — knowing that it’s only going to get harder from here — and places the ball back in the rotation device that Elesa had made for them. Just a short few clicks — man, it is convenient for their body to have this thing — and they select their next Pokémon.

“Cmon, man, you know who I train with. You know that I always go for the most explosive option.”

It’s a tease. Ree laughs, as they pull the next capsule out, tossing it into the air to reveal —

“Phwee!”

— Bowie Knife, the sylveon. Pink ribbons flutter in the air as the fairy type settles down onto the broken and battered ground — they’re definitely going to have to take a mid battle break to reset the field, if this is what the destruction of just one round brought — and Ree grins.

The battles only going to get more intense.

a short-ish 2 episode recap of mpm03 and 04:

03:

Ah, Cilan, our favorite everything-sommelier!! Was so good to see him again and hear his dramatic lines. One of my favorite moments was him doing a tasting time with Misty and Psyduck, I love the bond those two have gotten since their challenging times in early OS. And ha, turns out Cilan and Brocko only found out now they’re both friends of Ash even tho they’ve been hanging out a lot. Ash, do you like ever call or write your friends?? (Don’t take me too seriously, btw) One of the minor ‘nitpickings’ I have towards that episode is that I doubt Brock would have given up his doctor training for a girl (I definitely imagine him going back to doing that once MPM is over), if anything you’d think that the Joys around him would motivate him to finish that training. The plot itself wasn’t anything mindblowing to me but it was a nice touch that Brock himself was able to break the illusion. Oh and his reaction to finding out that his newest crush had a boyfriend was a callback to that Professor Ivy situation in OS. Not gonna lie, I got a bit sad when Cilan said his ‘besto wishu’ in the end because this was quite likely the last time we see him (at least with a voice role), but overall it was a nice episode and it was wonderful to see all 3 of those companions together.

04: 

A pretty ‘basic’ story for a pokeani episode, but it still showed wonderfully the best sides of Ash. His refusal to give up, his selflessness and his care for those that many others would have given up on already. One of my favorite moments in this episode was Brock and Misty acknowledging that ‘this side of him hasn’t changed at all’ even tho a lot of time has passed (at least for us viewers :P). Also, loved seeing Gaogaen/incineroar (and obviously talonflame and miiijumiiju too) in this ep, everything that reminds me of Alola makes me :’) Hmm, what else, the bellsprout in the end and miju telling the beartic to try to form the shell were sweet. It was also good tr wasn’t in this episode, as they weren’t really needed.

Am excited to see the og starter trio next week, this series sure is an OS love fest (and I’m not complaining, since I am an OS fan)

[meistoshi]

pikachu does what it can to deflect much of the far - too - close - for - comfort impacts, while satoshi listens. & worries. & squares his shoulders.

❛ alright. ❜

unclipping all his pokéballs, satoshi sends out lucario, absol, gaogaen, leafia, hitomoshi, calling for them to keep a handle on things on the ground before all but lucario disperse, the latter sticking to hala's side for immediate back - up. absol follows the kiteruguma to herd out wild pokémon on its own, while the rest attempt to bait hau into expending more of their energy towards them in specific, rather than their surroundings.

❛ we're gonna fly in close, try to get his attention. if i can't get through to him, though, we might have to battle him down. i'm pretty sure pikachu can match 'em, but you shouldn't stick too close, if it comes to that. ❜

& with a nod to lucario — satoshi's off again.

gaburias circles the headless torso of electricity, gliding just past the " heart " of it, glacially enough for satoshi to take a deep breath & yell.

❛ HAU !! OOOIIIIII !! ❜

Oh, bless the Tapu. Satoshi had arrived as back up. The ex-Kahuna briefly looks away guiltily upon receiving the first question though, and once Pikachu alerts the Champion, he can only give a worried nod.

"Not sure. Heard some commotion upstairs, and before I knew it, I was chasing after them. All I can think about is—" Another Thunder hits closeby, and Hala curses under his breath. A rare occurance, honestly.

"—Overloaded with power. Mentioned how it was getting harder and harder to get rid off excess energy."

The ground shakes as the giant slams down a fist, missing the ruins. There's a pattern starting to form; important landmarks are attempted to be avoided, it seems. Yet the damage to other areas is rather destructive.

Ed the Bewear coos nervously. He seems hesitant to attack the huge figure. Hala nods at him to check the area for Pokémon in need of help instead, and the bear doesn't have to be told twice.

"Wasn't sure who else to call over first. My phone died shortly after, I'm afraid—" The ground shakes again upon another smack, and Hala looks at Satoshi with worried eyes. Not quite those of an ex-Kahuna, but those of a grandfather who's worried about their grandchild first and foremost.

"I'm not sure what to do besides damage control. I tried to reach out to him, but it's like he can't hear. I have no means to get closer, either."

Alola Evolved!

Only a quick one because I'm not really in the mood today New Sun and Moon trailer revealed some neat shit. Like Decidueye is a GHOST TYPE WHAAAAI LOVE ME SOME OWLS

The world twists and turns, the world breaks. You enter and exit the City without even knowing it. Rather, the City enters your room, and leaves a present.

It's for you. It was created for you.

the items glitches, and it glitches hard. You might want to say goodye to the table they were set on, it's going to glitch too. That's a rude prank from the inhabitants of the city. Burn it. Burn it. Burn it. Burn it. Burn it. Burn it. Burn it. Burn it. Burn it. Burn it. Burn it. Burn it. Burn it. Burn it. Burn it. Burn it. Burn it. Burn it.Burn it. Burn it. Burn it. Burn it. Burn it.

if shadows & ultras feel like an uncanny valley, the ... whatever that is, it feels worse than that. wronger. like seeing a disproportionate face in the dark. like running down a long tight tunnel so fast it looks like falling. like that sharp high - pitched whine of noise he always hears when it's too quiet but so, so much louder, much more. that all, but with pins & needles.

it sends satoshi into vertigo even as he continues staring at the incomprehensible.

the tinnitus - y noise gets louder & louder & digs deeper & deeper & deeper & —

❛ incineroar — !! ❜ the fire that torches both item & table is a mix of the gaogaen's daimonji & gängar's will - o' - the - wisp, & it thoroughly scorches through whatever the mass of glitch was, & the professors' neat little coffee table. they might've scorched a bit of the flooring too. oh boy ...

when the world feels that little bit more correct, & the ringing in his ear is a familiar level again, satoshi lets out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding & straightens out from the defense - ready hunch he'd instinctively gone into, giving his pokémon an appreciative smile. ❛ thanks, you two. looks like we owe the professors a new table, though ... that ... was weird, right ?? ❜ his meter for weirdness is a little broken, okay ??

[smilingperformer]

True, but some folks will still expect SOMETHING from the birds, like a new move. (Speaking of which, I wonder how most felt about Incineroar. I've seen some happy that it had a few moves Kukui's had.)

I was just happy to see Gaogaen :D Anyone who expects new stuff for old 'mon should slow down because that's not the focus here lol.

(What's with the overdose of water type Pokémon focus thou)

[pokeaniepisodes]

The Kukui residence about to have a much bigger appetite (Sun & Moon episode 145 preview)

[meistoshi]

❛ haha, she's like a litten, now !! ❜ it doesn't look to hurt ; she seems to just be ... hanging in there. man, how many times didn't gaogaen do the very same to satoshi while they got used to each other. ah, the days of being used as a scratching pole ... ❛  i'd say she's warmin' up. ❜

Ree holds up their arm. Their eevee is clinging to their sleeve with her teeth.

“Do you think she’s startin’ to like me?”
