autistic kids everywhere will shed a tear

In the end. . .did he REALLY catch them all?

>implying I have cared about the Pokemon anime after Johto league

Is it weird for me to feel the slightest bit of rage right now anon?

On one hand, I'm kinda glad. Pokemon had potential, but the fact that they decided to never develop him as a character... eh. Also, this might mean he'll fucking win a championship for once.

On the flipside, it's Ash and Pikachu. They defined some portion of my childhood, and watching them go is going to hurt a bit.

>>33539375
Yes. . .Pokemon has sucked since Johto.

Didn't they say they were doing to do this for Diamond and Pearl?

I should download the first season and watch it...

anyone who has read the manga knows how potentially good this character shift is

>>33539385
Took the words right out of my mouth.

I would have liked to see it end within my childhood though. Seeing Ash defy the odds and become a Pokemon master could have taught me that everybody has a lot of potential, but instead I had to learn that through boring life experience. Who wants that anyways?

the real question here is, would ash wake up from his coma?

Wait, so it's not just a region reset?

>an all new cast of characters.
>One such character, Zoroark.

Seeing as they're nentioning a pokemon as a "new character" must mean they are only referring to the new slew of pokemon. I don't think Ash and Pikachu are going anywhere.

Ahh, this is weird. Ash has become a huge failure over the years, but actually seeing him go...

I don't know, man. I wanted to see him reach his goal before he left.

Well now we need to speculate how it's going to all end. Ash obviously has a harem, a score, and a dream to settle before the show can end well in my opinion.

There's no way that they'll replace Ash and Pikachu, they are too much of an icon for the Pokemon franchise.

I just hate how Ash made no progress.

I want to see him become a Pokemon Master, God damnit.

TV Tokyo hasn't mentioned anything about Ash not returning yet, just that the Diamond and Pearl arc is ending so they're dumping Dawn for sure.

But I heard Ash's Japanese VA didn't sign again or something, so maybe this is the end.

Will I finally see Red and the Adventure cast on TV now? I never cared for that loser Ash.

Didn't we have this rumor all the way back when Gen 2 was coming out?

>The end of Ash and Pikachu's adventures

I'm crying...I seriously am
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agY9axKRNaU

If you had a childhood, you are too...

Goodbye Ash...you may have been a stupid fuck, but you were awesome none the less

i call BULLSHIT

they have no real reason to replace him since the public is fucking retarded and dont really care, its easy money for them, i dont see a real reason to change him right now

Good. I won't miss them.

THIS IS ALL BULLSHIT, NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN, KEEP DREAMING

/v/ is having a thread about this as well...

Since statement is too long, I will just post up the important part

>On April 15th(which is today), TV Tokyo has announced that Pocket Monster DP will end its run on this Fall.

>Plot of Anime will head to an end start from Grand Festival arc.

>Story to watch in GF is, Dawn's "Final match" promise with Zoey, and who will become a Top Coordinator.

>Ash's League story will be very interesting to watch.

>story to watch in League is, Ash VS Paul, whether Ash will become champion or not.

>Ash WILL FACE A TRAINER WHO USES A LEGENDARY POKEMON (伝説のポケモンを操るトレーナー) IN THE LEAGUE.

>TV Tokyo already have new series ready to air when DP ends.

>More informations regarding new series will be revealed soon.

nothing mentioning ash and pikachu or brock will be replaced or whatsoever.

Pokemon = Doctor Who, prove me wrong.

They should make a series about Red.

Ash is just a moron and Pikachu just sucks. It lost to a Magikarp

>>33539747
>>>/v/56056461
;_;

after charizard "left" i stopped watching

fuck you ash

my gooooooooood

So he's gonna reach elite 4 this time around or he's gonna lose again, and say fuck this shit, then go back home?

>>33539334
>>33539534
>>33539626

Wow, there's actually something really sad and pathetic about this.

i agree with the anon from the /v/ thread
that max character killed the show

>>33539904
You should probably say it there and make his eyes sparkle.

>>33539864
A piece of our childhood is going to be gone. Unless you're 13, we're going to be feeling a little sad.

This kind of shit makes you feel old.

THE DAY ASH IS GONE IS THE DAY I RISE!

>>33539947
No I meant it's sad and pathetic Ash wasn't able to ever succeed. It's actually a little crushing when you realize he never did succeed and turns out to be a failure. It's like meeting an old friend you haven't spoke to in 10 years and you realize he became a hikikomori or homeless.

WHY AM I SO EXCITED? A NEW CAST SORT OF MAKES ME HOPE FOR A POKEMON SPECIAL TYPE THING.

>>33540028
Oh. Apologies then. Well think of it this way. If Ash had achieved all of his major goals early in the show, what would be left for his character?

>>33540028
But he's saved the world countless times and won the Orange League

Good. Maybe now he can age and appear in a cameo somewhere.

>>33540089
>what would be left for his character

pokemon high school

AND THEN CHRIS-CHAN KILLS HIMSELF

Why the fuck are people sad? Ash and his cheating Pikachu were horrible characters. Maybe I liked them for the first few episodes, when I was a little kid, but it's about fucking time they get rid of the dumbass.

NEW GRIMDARK POKEMON SERIES FUCK YEAH


i wish...

Wait a minute why is ash a complete failure?

He did win orange islands and battle frontier which even paul's older brother couldn't win.

Yes he did badly in indigo but getting top 8 in the rest isn't all that bad. I'm actually happy he's not a HURR DURR I WIN ALL THE TIME CUZ IM THE MAIN CHARACTER.

I guess the toxic ash from Iceland is kinda ironic

No fucking way this is happening.
Some badly translated typo or fake soruce right?

Well D and P did experiment with a lot of different shit so maybe they were just testing the waters before finally changing everything.

But why change everything now that their last season has been their best so far?

And Paul vs Ash sounds cool but is it cool enough? Maybe he fights Cynthia too and all the elite four and finally becomes a champion, that would be a decent ending.
Its not Ash vs Gary in the last championship though, that can't happen.

Black and White does sound like a very strong franchise name, more than just ruby sapphire or diamond and pearl so its a good name for a reboot.

No no no Ash Pikachu and Brock can't go away they are part of my childhood.

I don't know what to think, its bullshit or maybe not but its cool but it sucks and and

I hope it's fucking Red.

Words cannot describe my rage.

Fuck you japan, fuck you.

He just wanted to be the very best, like no one ever was, and you cut his adventure short...

What does he have? Like 90 pokemon so far?

Fuck you Japan...

So I'm wondering if the third director's cut release is gonna be POKEMON GREY.

>>33540319
Yep I guess this payback for the south park eps and The Cove

However they end it, I want to see Ash beat Gary. Fuck.

>>33540294
It's gonna be the GenV male protagonist and you know it.
>>33540319
Who's to say he's not going to become the very best?

>>33539474
Don't even start this shit.

So he never caught them all nor did he become the very best like no one ever was.

>>33540319
7/10
will troll again

>>33540364
Because it's impossible.

"Like no one ever was." Ash always knew he could be the very best, but that didn't stop him from trying...

4kids theme is canon.

>>33540319
-22 with him or with professor oak.
-4 in training and can be called anytime (charizard, squirtle, etc)
-3 released

...yeah

>>33540364
Gen V dude sucks but at least he sucks less than the previous main guys.

>>33540378
Feel the rage brother.

>>33540370
Why is everyone talking like Ash has failed already? This season isn't over yet! Ash can still become the best!

>>33540417
Don't forget 30 tauros.

>>33540460
Right, I forgot to mention that.

>>33540457
The best of a shity region, Kanto is god tier and you know it

>>33540424
>GenV dude sucks
>All we have is a less than high quality scan of one sprite
Sure, dude.

>>33540470
>Last Episode
>Pikachu Released.

>>33540356
Where were you when Ash DID beat Gary?

The only way this would be acceptable would be if they replaced Ash with MOTHERFUCKING RED. Not shitty manga Red, but the real Red

>>33540424
>Gen V dude sucks

We don't even know what is yet.

13 years and he hasn't done jack shit.
Burn in hell Ash you pathetic excuse for a character.

>>33540567
You mean "A fag!"? He was "A fag!" in my game.

>>33540541
Whatever happened to Gary?

>"Black and White" sounds like a total rebranding of the "Pokemon" franchise.


Still not Special: The Anime. But, it's cool.

>>33540567
Why would they introduce Red in the Black and White series? Stop fucking saying Red, it's a stupid idea.

>>33540522
WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED.

>>33540627
He became a professor.

>Zoroark
>Zoro
>Ark
wat

>>33540637
You're a stupid idea

I want a new cast
a moe cast

>>33540627
Became a scientist, got his ass handed to him by team galactic.

Are there going to be characters named "White" and "Black" in Pokemon Special? That's going to be hilarious.

Ash may be a fucking retard, but goddammit, I'll miss his his ass.

>>33540669
I don't even know what you're trying to get at.

>>33540567
wait who is the "real" Red?

Ash you've caught 50 pokemon out of 493.

I am disappoint.

Give me back my pokedex.

>>33540718
There's a game Red and Pokemon Special Red.

>>33540704
You know what else is hilarious? A kid named Red. Or Green. Or Blue. Or Yellow. Or any of the other names.

>>33540704
Only in japan.
In america its Ethan and Jamal

I'm so happy about this, really it's time for a new boy/girl to shine and start their adventure without having to include ash and brock and the same bullshit antics that got old in johto.

Ash finally returns home.

He tracks down Misty and proposes to her.

You see an epic montage of Ash and Misty growing older with their pokemons. During the montage, you can see Pikachu getting white hairs on his ears and tail. The last shot shows a tombstone with the words "Best Friend" on it, with an old couple standing nearby. You don't see their faces.

>>33540779
Gold is already named Ethan in HGSS.

>>33540726
Pokedex in the anime already has all of the info. It was a standard trainer tool

Final episode is about Ash finally finding and catching Ho-oh. Even with the team he currently has, he can't do it. Then all of a sudden Charizard, Squirtlewho has since evolved into a Blastoise, a flock of Butterfree and Primeape wearing Ash's old hat Show up and help him beat and catch Ho-oh.

The show should end with a DS turning off, like how it started with a Gameboy turning on.

>>33540726
And Gary got around 45 pokemon within the 3 days of becoming a pokemon trainer.

By the time Ash got all 8 badges from Kanto, Gary already owned 200+ pokemon.

Goddamn Ash, goddamn.

>>33540846
>The show should end with a DS turning off, like how it started with a Gameboy turning on.
>like how it started with a Gameboy turning on.
What?

Then the new cast meet an older Ash, who has decided to forget his dreams and has become a barber.

Final boss for the new series.

". . ."

You all do know this just means they're getting a new girl, right?

>>33540828
Ok how about Connor, its a very white name too.

The "Red" character in the anime WAS Ash. He was always intended to be game Red.

If they ever do introduce a "Red" character that is not Ash in the anime, it WON'T be Special's Red, and will never be. Japan doesn't give a shit about the manga, only about the games/anime, and it seems to integrate those two pretty well.

>>33540876
watch the 1st episode newfag

>>33540850
Oh man. I'm gonna tear up. Seriously.

>>33540436

How the fuck do you know? We don't even have art of him yet.

Ash becomes the new leader of Team Rocket

He couldn't catch em all, so he decided to just steal them all.

>>33540876
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZD8-YX8mj4

Skip the opening, it's the first scene.

>>33539261
Kubo....Kubo...is that you?

>>33540846
That sounds awesome, sort of.
Perhaps a bit too deus ex even for pokemon but the whole catching Ho ho and a ds turning off sounds great.

In the new movie Ash will meet his dark self and die, the evil Ash will take over his place. That's what they mean by dropping Ash.

>>33540916
Stop making it about race.

>>33540925
>Newfag calls Waffleman a newfag
Some people don't remember the first episode.

>Give me back my pokedex.
I fucking lol'd.

>>33540999
Yeah, it was fucking thirteen years ago.

I was seven.

All I can say is it's about time. That dumb shit Ash and that shitty little attention whore Pikachu should have been done away with a long time ago.

The only good that came from it is all the little kids first getting Pokemon and saying "I'm gonna catch a Pikachu and not evolve it because I am gonna be the very best just like Ash!", because I can watch them cry as their Pikachu is destroyed by any ground type.

>>33540925
Waffleman has been here for a while.

You must be new son.

>>33540905
Fukken saved.
>>33540937
I could care less about the new guy, I'm just mad that they didn't resolve shit with ash.

>>33541013

>>33540967
Ash as a bad legendary rival?
Yes please.

>>33541048
THIS SEASON ISN'T OVER YET. OF COURSE THEY'RE GOING TO RESOLVE THINGS.

>>33540912
No!

It better end with Ash going back to Kanto just in time for the Indigo League and having an epic battle against Gary in the finals.

>>33541043
Oh really?

>>33540967

>Dark Ash

>>33541045
>a while.

Last time I looked on easymodo, he was /a/'s most prolific tripfag.

Well this is Yu-gi-oh GX all over again.

This last season is going to be good because the writters want to get over with it fast.

>>33541088
YES

>>33541083
One season can't be enough!

>>33541118
I really doubt that.

>>33540948
I-I can't watch it, man. Wow...I'm a wreck...

;__ ;

You retards, Ash will just go to the new B&W area and meet the new girl.

There's no indication that he will leave. This is exactly what happened when the DP series was announced.

>>33541133
Oh, so you need TWO whole seasons to end a series? You don't need more than a three-part episode at most.

>>33541083
I hope they do, but I'm expecting a stupid fucking ending.

You know, something worse than the NEEDLESS ending.

>hurrdurr ash hasn't done anything what a fag

itt people who haven't watched past season 1

>>33540287
They already showed all of the E4. He recently lost against Bertha's Hippowdon.

>>33540948
I always wondered why Oak's show was airing at 11 at night.

I lol'd

I thought Pikachu was special or something
Like, he could generate a fuckton more electricity than a normal pikachu, which was why Team Rocket wanted it so badly

>>33541235
so you were that kid that took pokemon a bit too seriously and always humiliated everyone else with his super duper team

or just a guy that likes to fight kids

what the fuck man?

>>33541218

Ha.
Although I haven't seen you in a while.

Wtf? Why is the article saying Ash is being replaced? I hope this is a troll. All that's happening is that he's moving on to another region and Dawn is going to be most likely dumped.

http://pokebeach.com/2010/04/diamond-and-pearl-ending-in-fall is more accurate.

what if...

>Suddenly Pokemon Special Manga Stops before a Black & White arc

>Author is in charge of design and writing of the new anime

>>33541235
>most good pokemon
>Implying Flygon isn't overused for a reason

I don't even get the point of the Elite 4 or the Champion in the show, you win at the League, whoopededo, the elite 4 are still better than you. Hell, have they ever showed someone challenging the Elite 4 or the Champion for their titles?

Hey Waffleman how is that Pokemon VN coming along?

>>33541279
Team Rocket are dumbasses. They saw an explosion generated by a bunch of Pikachu at the Viridian PokeCenter. They though Ash's Pikachu was the only one who caused it.

Diamond and Pearl will end with a Kaiji like ending. Ash enters the Pokemon League, but loses in the end. The series ends with him on his knees in front of the Pokemon League building, crying and screaming "I will win someday! I swear it!"

Black and White stars a brand new set of characters wanting to become Pokemon masters. By time they all get to the Pokemon League, an unnamed trainer armed with only a Pikachu demolishes everyone. Black and White ends with that unnamed training taking off his hat, handing it to the protagonist as he says "Take it. I don't need it anymore." and walking off into the sunset.

Then the DS turns off.

>>33541279
I'm not sure, I think it's just that because Nintendo has a hard on for Pikachu, they come up with some deus ex machina shit to excuse it being such a shitty pokemon while releasing 'upgrades' for it to make Raichu obsolete.

You remember Raichu don't you? No, no one remembers what Raichu is anymore...

It's probably just Ash going to a new region and meeting up with a new girl.

If it is truly the end, however, THERE BETTER BE SOME CLOSURE TO HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH MISTY.

>>33541389
FUND IT

>>33541320
>Implying Japan gives a fuck about the manga.

>>33541365

Take it to fanfiction.net with the rest of the bad fanfics...

>>33541279
It WAS special. In the first season. It got supercharged 3-4 times. But, that was all dropped....whoot.

>>33541464
Where are the good ones?

Pokemon ends with Ash getting cancer

He gives his Pikachu to some little kid and then dies

>>33541389
HOLY FUCK

This is almost as good as that ending someone proposed where in the end, Ash is an old man, and we find out he's been telling his story to his grandchildren on his porch with misty. And then "I wanna be the very best" plays over the credits...

That was a great thread.

>>33541484
>Good
>Fanfic

>>33541395
What relationship?

>>33541394
Raichu is still objectively better than Pikachu as it can actually take a hit and has decent speed as well.

>>33541500
Ash: "I never did become a Pokemon Master, but maybe you kids can someday."

If ash goes away pikachu goes away with him and nintendo will have many useless pokemon merchandise.

Plus people know pikachu=pokemon.

>>33541043

Dude Pikachu has MONSTROUS attack stats. It's fucking off the charts. Pikachu isn't as good as most OU's but don't call it weak. If you can't outrun Pikachu odds are you going to eat a fuck load of damage.

I once had a Pikachu either two hit or OKO a full hp blissey WITH a special attack.

Most pokemon can not make such claims.

>>33541602
Cue 4kids getting a Coheed and Cambria cover band to record the new theme song.

lest us forget...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Au3P7ILTdH0

The final fight is Ash against the champion of the world and Pikachu evolves into Pikablu, a special new mythical friendship based evolution.

Sticky this thread mods. Now

Ash quits after losing to Paul and goes to the next region being an IV/EV training dick.

>>33541540

Raichu is shit and has NOTHIGN going for it. Most eletric types either hit MUCH harder or WAY faster.

At least Pikachu has a MONSTROUS attack and special attack.

>>33541602
Lol'd harder than I should have.

I have a feeling that Black and White is going to take place in AMERICA since all 4 of Japan's islands are already taken.

>>33541553

There's nothing stopping them from giving a Pikachu to the new main, if there's a character change upcoming. It's not like Ash's Pikachu looked any different from any other one.

Diamond & Pearl season is ending. No more Dawn.
All new cast of characters. New Pokemon.

They will never abandon Ash, he prints money.

>>33541610
>Dude Pikachu has MONSTROUS attack stats.

Only with light ball, and it cant take a hit worth shit.

>Friendship based evolution.

OH THE NOSTALGIA

>>33541684
Yes, because friendship based un-evolution is so very different...

>>33541642
The last episode is Ash winning the league, and he goes off to celebrate by returning to Kanto to find Misty. He heads to Cerulean to find she went to Viridian for some reason. In Viridian, an old man tells Ash that she went to Cinnabar for training. Ash goes to Cinnabar and finds Misty on the eastern beach. He summons Buizel out to surf to her, but as he does, Missingno rises out of the water and fucks up the television screen for the rest of the episode. The end.

>>33541642
And then they discover Missingno.

>>33541781
>>33541767
Ah shit, son.

>>33541683

"only with light ball"

What he fuck else is it going to use? A choice band? Light ball is an incredible item.

And it DOESN'T NEED Light ball to reach incredible damge outputs.

Someone here thinks they are pro, but is a shitty trainer and hasn't learned about nasty plot yet.


It doesn't matter if Pika can't take hits or outspeed everything. That's not how it should be used. If it outruns you, you're most likely gong to die. Also how the fuck don't you know about grass knot or HP Ice? I'd LOVE to see you try to switch in on my Pikachu with a ground type...
