I will be impossible to be spoiler free until subs are made
Meh, I'd be ok with a draw as the League would likely declare both to be the winner. So Ash wins.They could both win.
Double the victory, triple the disappointment.
I suppose. I'd prefer a clean victory in the final, but if they have a rematch after the flare arc it would erase any dissapointment.Meh, I'd be ok with a draw as the League would likely declare both to be the winner. So Ash wins.
Time goes by so slowly so slowly
I agree. We know Lysandre is interested in Ash-Greninja, but if he can't beat Alain, then who cares?personally I'll be flabbergasted if Ash loses, just based on how we know the plot will progress from future episode synopses
Ash gets kidnapped by Team Flare. Why? Because he's the best trainer, duh. Lysandre had Alain under his thumb by way of his affection for Manon and Hari-san, but he has fuck-all on Ash, who comes out of nowhere to be the actual best trainer. So Ash just has to be nabbed, likely so he can be forced to work for Flare. (And, more importantly, forced to protect Lysandre's ass when Alain realises he's been played like a fiddle and Lysandre has no intention of healing Hari-san)
If Alain wins, there's zero reason for Lysandre to kidnap Ash. They'll naturally come to a head, with Squishy fighting Z2 as well and so on, but the particulars that have already been revealed don't work in an environment where Alain comes out on top. Fuck, Lysandre himself funded the league; he's literally hiring his future brainwashed or blackmailed bodyguard!
I know that logical plot progression might be asking too much of Pokemon, but XY/Z is actually pretty good! I trust in them for this one.

I mean, the whole Ash-Greninja thing is incredibly unique in and of itself, and they've been increasing in power as the series progressed. It'd be incredibly short sighted if someone assumed that, if Ash does lose, that it's because Ash-Greninja hit some absolute ceiling in terms of power rather than them just not having unlocked the appropriate level of Shonen True Potential yet. If anything, Ash-Greninja has already proven it's worth since a trainer who usually washed out around Top 8 is now serious contender for a League Championship.
Is there a way to watch this episode live or do we need to wait for raws to go on youtube?
At this point i hope somebody streams this on youtube.Apart from watching it on TV Tokyo, you mean?
Like online? There's no legal way to stream it live as far as I know however.
Someone's actually streaming all XY and Z episodes on YouTube right now leading up to the finals.At this point i hope somebody streams this on youtube.
Can we get a countdown?
in less then 12 hours we will know if ash is a loser or not
Does Ash Ketchup have what it takes to finally win it
I'm gonna avoid this thread and watch this shit when I get back from work tomorrow and probably mark out hard if he wins. And if he loses I'll close the youtube video and forget this thread happened.
I'm expecting this to be extremely hard to avoid unless you just straight up avoid certain sites and people.
Idk not sure how upset people would be with spoilersIf Ash wins, can we make a new thread?
"Ash Ketchum finally wins one for the land"
I guess if Sun and Moon don't have Pokemon gyms it might make sense for Ash to win this league and then go to Alola to help set up a league there as Champion?
Yep. Lots of people in their mid 20s have been waiting for this moment even if they didn't know it tell now.It just dawned on me that if Ash win's this, this victory would have been almost 20 fucking years in the making from the 1997 date of the first Japanese episode.
Gary Oak is THE badass of Pokémon and you'd be stupid to argue otherwise.
Dude was driving a convertible at 10, bought with all the money he earned from Pokéwinning most likely, with 20 girls older than him all on his dick.
He earned 10 badges in Kanto. 10.
Fuck Ash and his stupid friends lmao
how big would this be in japan if he won, do you think new sites will cover it or something

Not really? Gary stated he had Electivire for a long while and the mon Ash faced was new. Also he was severely overpowered in that that pokemon had a Motor Drive.Yup, it's more indicative since that 1 on 1 had Ash with a pokemon he had since Kanto being beat with ease by Gary with a pokemon he'd only had since Sinnoh, so it really shows that Gary is a far better trainer then Ash

Why do people always ignore context when bringing up Gary?
I'm making a thread, if Basketball can get one, sure we can too. Also its the only way to get a poll.
I think it was posted in this thread that some sites covered him making it to the finals lol.
If Ash wins, can we make a new thread?
