Pokémon S&M
Perverts rejoice!
This show is a celebration of everything it is to be an adolescent boy in the prime of puberty: violence, beaches, and bikinis! I'll summarize the first episode in four words: Girls, girls and women! Now that Ash has his mouth virginity out of the way, he can put that dirty mouth to good use: talking to other girls! Holding their hands! Going out with them for long periods of time...no parental supervision! No curfew! Also, the animation is good. The art style isn't that bad, it's just Ash's design is wonky as fudge. It's weird hearing that voice, coming out of that body, given what we just saw in XY. It's like Holiday at Aopulco...on amphetamines. Woo hoo!

I quite like Sun and Moon so far - first 2 episodes especially. Interested to see where it goes / how much it follows the games.

Oh we already know this.
Kozuki Yuuko in Muv-Luv documented a strange phenomenon that ostensibly seemed unique to that game. It was called "ren'ai genshikaku" (恋愛原子核) and it seems to have spread to Pokemon.

I enjoy it!
I will make a longer post at some point this week.
With that said, 1. The show is fun to watch. Simple, but fun. It makes me smile. Not everything has to be XYZ Team Flare Arc level in intensity or Kalos/Sinnoh League seriousness with competition to be enjoyable. 2. The characters (as of episode 11) are all getting fleshed out well. All of Ash's classmates have had their own episode at this point. 3. I like the (friend, but not owned by) effect of Rotomdex, Litten, and Bewear. 4. Bewear. End of story. This has made Team Rocket for this series. 5. Mimikyu. 6. I like the pacing... it's fast! Maybe this will tie things in with what we know about the 2017 movie. 7. Lillie. Daaaaaaamn. Serena, she is your second. Nothing less, trust me, nothing less. More to come! |

So screenshots from episode 14 convinced me to watch this. Now this is canon, and it's absolutely adorable!
Sun and Moon is pretty enjoyable so far. I could blow small things out of proportion like everyone else and pretend this show is something else, but I would rather not. It's nothing super intense, but it's cute fun. Team Rocket is actually bearable. So far, they haven't interrupted many episodes, and when they do, it's not that bad. They are actually kind of entertaining because of their companions this season. (minor spoilers) Spoiler: show The animation is weird. It goes from awkward and bad to pretty nice with some good attention to detail. I think they try more when showcasing the Pokemon themselves. I'm not sure how long I will keep watching, but I don't have any desire to put it down yet. Though this show isn't as full of empty promises as XY, so maybe I will stick with it. |

Still watching. It's enjoyable, not an award winner, but it's fun, fun(ny), and it makes you smile. Definitely a great de-stresser, but no Game of Thrones with a complex plot.
Very happy with Ash's team so far, the first time im hoping nobody evolves. I have no idea what direction the writers want to take things |

I like SM. It's fun and light and watching it has a de-stressing effect. The captains (classmates) are all pretty interesting and some of them are surprisingly fleshed out.
I still can't believe that SM21 spoiler Spoiler: show

The new episode is like, more faithful to the G1 games than Z Origins is. Well, Origins was a FR/LG adaption, but I think this episode has raised my opinion of the S/M crew after the rather rough transition from Ash's divorce to Hawaii.
Spoiler: show Also a bit unrelated, but since I'm paying attention to Pokemon at the moment - Remember when we were discussing Ash's champion team? There was something I neglected to notice at the time that was pointed out to me: Red's team consists of either event Pokemon (Eevee → Espeon, Snorlax) or starters (Pikachu, Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise). If we apply the same standard to the anime, the only event Pokemon Ash has had is Snorlax. The vast majority of Pokemon he's owned have been starters, since he's caught all three each generation. Excluding a hypothetical event Pokemon like Ho-Oh, I would have to say Snorlax gets on the team then. So that makes 3 Kanto Pokemon and a starter from Kalos, Sinnoh, and Hoenn. I don't think any of the S/M Pokemon are really worth it.

Spoiler: show Quote:
Quick Attack = Denkou Sekka, or "Lightning Speed". 電光 itself breaks down to "lightning light" so it seems like an electric attack, even though it's not. In the show, it's a hybrid between Tackle and Agility, in addition to its normal priority, so even though it's "weak" it's rather OP in Pikachu's possession. Thunderbolt is the staple, generic electric attack even if it looks more like Thundershock in practice. Iron Tail is the only move that gives Pikachu variation, using his tail instead of his head and electric sacks. So then you have the last slot that's usually the "nuke" position. With Gigavolt Havoc, at least, there's room to not need Electro Ball and run something else. Especially so if the spoilers are true. I'd like to see VT back but anything else would be fine there!

Well that's just ridiculous...
I haven't kept up with SM at all for various reasons; for those of you who gave it a shot, how do you think it compares to XY?

So I've started watching this! Only at Episode 2. I can't compare it to XY since I didn't see XY in its entirety...but it's very un-conventional in a good way. Not very formulaic and no Team Rocket so far.

Episode 5
This is really comfy, and easy to watch. Not a lot of human drama and each episode is different. The art style concerns are a non-concern at this point.

Episode 9
Dang, this is really a fun show. It's not gotten repetitive at all. -=EPISODE 10=- Pikachu gets reset every season, which makes sense because if you let it enter a new area in championship mode it would wtfstomp all opponents. Thus far though, even though Pikachu intuitively has been reset, it hasn't lost a battle yet and instead has a major feat under its belt: Spoiler: show Unless you assume Alola Pokemon are weak af, this suggests Pikachu is already in Uber status, ten episodes into the new season. Pikachu's feats later in the show that I saw corroborate this view.

Smogon Bans Pikachu from Pokemon Anime
Nice bit of satire. It's rare for us to get Pokémon satire, let alone satire with this degree of fandom knowledge. Enjoy.

what's especially funny is the exact two incidents Smogon uses to justify the ban constitute 85% of my posts in this topic.

You know the real treat? For how funny that article is (and it really is!), the comments below from everyone who didn't get it are just as amusing :P

Episode 15
Fight Club: The Episode, ITT. I'm almost caught up to BBB. This show is smooth as silk.

Episode 18
This show continues to amaze me because, aside from maybe Brock and Misty, I can't imagine anyone else in the series who I could call Ash's good friends. He hangs out with the Alola crew ALL THE TIME and there's tons of interaction. Even if some things are a bit shallow, this is way, way, way more development than with the old formula of new town > new character with problem > team rocket > problem solved > leave S&M is awesome!!
