What are your thoughts on this video? This is pretty much the reason why I won't play any new Pokemon games, because I am heavily against the idea of paid online services and the companies choosing profit over the loyal customers.
While Switch Online's subscription fee isn't as huge as Xbox or PlayStation's, he still brings up a strong point that the younger fans may be turned away from Pokemon in the future solely because they can't afford it. Same goes for people in low-income families like me, which is pretty much why I won't be playing LGP/LGE, 8th Gen and on. Also, loss of the GTS and Wonder Trade from LGP/LGE will make it much harder to complete the Dex, outside of obviously affording the subscription and heaving to interact with trusted traders (such as in PC's own Trade Corner section). -
June 6th, 2018 6:34 PMCodeHelmetFinished rewatching XY/XYZ on demand over the past month and it’s just night and day when compared to Sun and Moon. IcyIce came up with a solid theory regarding the Rainbow Rocket arc that is likely in our future. Thoughts on it?

May 30th, 2018 12:25 AMHikamaruYou know how much I am sick of Kanto pandering. If the last season of SM is dedicated to that, it will seal its fate as the worst PokeAni series for me. Especially since I heard the ratings are declining again in Japan, despite the attempt to try and emulate Yo-Kai Watch's winning format, showing that deliberately ripping off a show that you are losing to in the ratings will be bad karma coming back to hit you.

May 29th, 2018 9:13 PMCodeHelmetOh and with Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee announced, Season 23 is likely going back to Kanto to promote it. Odds are Lillie and maybe the rest of the S&M cast will join him there or perhaps the Kalos group will return as hinted in XYZ47. Granted I could be wrong when the Anime is concerned but typically they have the Anime promote the games and they had promotion with FRLG(and to a lesser extent Emerald with Battle Frontier), HGSS(Lyra/Khoury mini-arc) and ORAS(Steven Stone and Sawyer).

May 29th, 2018 2:31 PMCodeHelmetSo I think I've figured out Disney's plans for the English Dub. See the thread in Anime board. TLDR: I think you're right in that the Japanese dub is stopping at 78 Episodes for the current season, hence Season 21 of the English Dub will stop there as well. That means 35 Episodes for Season 21 and therefore 8 Episodes shorter than Season 20. Season 21 also started 7 weeks earlier than Season 20 did, hence if you take May 19th and add 15 weeks, you hit September and hence I peg Disney restarting Season 21 on September 8th with Episodes 59 to 66 from 9/8 to 9/15 and going back to their usual format until Thanksgiving wherein they'll repeat what they did last year with 76 and 77(along with Movie#21) on 11/24. They'll re-air the Movie and 77 on 12/1 and finish Season 21 with 78 on 12/8 before going on Winter break.
If my hunch on the length of Season 22 is correct, I peg it to be 42 Episodes long for an even 120. If I'm right, we're looking at a March start in 2019 with the series finishing up around the same time in December of 2019. -
May 28th, 2018 10:22 PMCodeHelmetDisney is going into Summer programming mode wherein they've chosen a number of shows(including some OLD ones like Kim Possible believe it or not) to show during the Summer months. Season 21 may not resume until September or so and they may opt to not even bother doing what they did to open the season in airing 8 Episodes in a span of a week so that the season ends in late November/early December with Episode 72. Figure 14 Episodes at a 1 Episode/week clip means that the rest of Season 2 likely will occur from September 8th(with Episode 59) to December 8th(with Episode 72). That way they can repeat airing the latest movie at the season's conclusion before going into Winter break.
Meaning, Season 22 won't begin until 2019(in March if Season 21 is anything to go by). -
May 28th, 2018 8:10 PMHikamaruAnd it would be stupid to delay the rest of the season to 2019, especially since that will supposed to be when Season 22 for the dub will air.
-
May 28th, 2018 8:08 PMHikamaruDang, that's an extremely long hiatus. So I'm betting they won't air the rest of Season 21 until either the end of the year or until 2019, since it's usually November that the English dub for the yearly movie gets released.
-
May 28th, 2018 6:57 PMCodeHelmetExpanded on what I think will happen with regards to the English dub. Be prepared for a LONG wait lol. I have a hunch they're going to repeat what they did with the end of Season 20 wherein they aired Movie#20(I Choose You! "Anniversary remake") along with Episode 42. They then repeated 42 and the movie a week later(when 42 was slated to air anyway) and then 43 before going on Winter break.
Movie#21 isn't going to be released until later this year and won't air on Disney XD until much later than that so... if I'm right.... we got a LONG effing wait before we even reach Mallow's Brother Episode in English -.- -
May 26th, 2018 7:09 PMCodeHelmetWith the possibility of a 3rd Kanto game means that there's the possibility of the Anime going back to Kanto again as well. A fanfiction of mine has Serena, Ash, Clemont and Bonnie going through the Kanto region. Clemont is there to showoff Clembot 2.0 to Silph Corporation(aka the infamous company that gets taken over by Team Rocket) and Bonnie tags along because she has to "protect" her big brother(while also looking for a "keeper"). Serena is there to try and impress Ash enough to where he considers her not only a rival but perhaps as a worthy girlfriend. I have her adding a male Rhyhorn and a Female Pikachu to her team prior to the series and then have her add a Female Butterfree(the pink one that we all know from Season 1(Episode 21) of the Franchise).
What I haven't worked out yet is Ash's Team and what motivation Serena has to challenge the Kanto Gyms(narrow loss to Ash at the beginning perhaps?). Anyways, I'm so ready to move on from S&M that just talking about something else is revitalizing. -
May 26th, 2018 5:05 PMHikamaruI knew Pokemon on Disney XD would mean a hiatus, but having a mid-season hiatus like this just to replace it with a new show? That is going too far, and will cause dub-only viewers to be massively behind Japan.

May 25th, 2018 4:27 PMHikamaruI can get your point. I feel the writers threw Electroweb in just to ruin the moment for Mimikyu and its debut Z-Move show. And yes, I do agree it should mostly be for the Joltik line and other Bug-types, because having other Electric-types use it makes absolutely no sense.
It's exactly why I hate the main protagonist getting special treatment, just as much as I hate female and token minority characters (especially the black and LGBTQ ones) getting special treatment just to appease PC culture and the SJW agenda. -
May 25th, 2018 6:56 AMCodeHelmetAfter having watched Episode 76, the Electroweb development was a middle finger to TR. They did everything right, for a change, when it comes to beating Ash and a new move somehow prevents Pikachu from being hit by a Z-Move?! I call bulls$*&, plain and simple. Furthermore, Electroweb should be exclusive to Joltik line or at most Spider Pokemon like Ariados and other BUG type Pokemon. Doesn’t make sense for an Electric mouse to generate a “web” of Electricity to lock down an opponent like they showed in 76 for Pikachu to hit with its own Z-move(which again appeared conveniently for Ash to use. Again I call BS).
The more I think about the Episode, the more I don’t like it. -
May 24th, 2018 4:22 PMHikamaruAt least Ash actually did train to beat Nanu, unlike the other Grand Trials where he just won on his first attempt. That loss was needed because I felt Ash was too OP if he was clearing trials so easily.

May 24th, 2018 3:24 PMCodeHelmetSpeaking of a Serena potential return, what do you think she'll look like if she does return? The Female playable character in SM/USUM games(which I believe is Moon) or something else? I think she'd look good in the FRLG set-up or Leaf. If she were to appear like the latter... damn that would hint at her possibly returning for another series in Kanto if the Let's Go games have any credibility whatsoever.
