Here are screenshots for The Strongest Mega Evolution ~Act III~: filb.de/anime/xy/SP3 and XY065 preview video: filb.de/anime/xy/065

The Strongest Mega Evolution ~Act IV~ has been announced and it will be airing in Autumn of this year. Nothing is known about it yet.

So remember how awful the Groudon and Kyogre two-parter from the Advanced Generation series was? Remember how poorly drawn and animated it was? Well this week was Groudon versus Kyogre done right, with Rayquaza added into it plus Lizardon and Metagross getting into the fray as well. Great art and smooth animation, with epic and even life-threatening moments. It showed what a battle between giant Legendary Pokémon should be like in one episode.

I thank you all for your time here, even if there wasn't much going on. But now it's time to move on...

And Numerugon isn't with Satoshi in his profile, so I guess it going back to its home is confirmed.

Whaaaaat? Boo! Why can't Ash ever have a really cool and strong Dragon-type in his team? This feels like a giant middle finger to us all who were so happy to learn he was getting a Goodra. :'(

One guess I have is the writers feel it is too early for Ash to have a fully evolved Dragon-type.

And if this is the case, then Goodra could return for the Kalos League. But if not, then, yeah....

On the subject of evolutions, I can't believe how close they've all be happening. Is this a first?

You're absolutely right. The show's been running for only seventeen years, it's WAY too soon for Ash to have a fully evolved Dragon-type. :-/

I hope it'll come back sooner. I want to see Ash go against Team Flare with his awesome Goodra, dammit! Also, Team Flare really needs to appear before the Kalos League. We don't want another "Episode N".

It sure is. There have never been so many evolutions in such a short time before. Well, unless you count the times we've seen a bunch of wild Bug Pokémon evolving at the same time.

Starting with XY068, which airs 16th April, there will be a new ending-

www.pocketmonsters.net/main/news/2164

The new ending theme for the TV anime "Pocket Monsters XY" will be sung by "Little Glee Monster", the vocalist group made up of the greatest young singers in the nation!

The song's title is "Gaogao All Stars"!
This new song made its debut during a live concert at UMEDA CLUB QUATTRO in Osaka Thursday March 26th! "Gaogao All Stars" will also be used as the theme song for the short "Pikachu and the Pokémon Musicians!

Those of you who want to hear the song right away, make sure to tune into the popular show "Oha Suta!", which airs on the TV Tokyo Network at 6:45am! Little Glee Monster will appear live on the episode airing Thursday April 16th! In addition to the very first TV performance of "Gaogao All Stars", the episode will also have the world premiere of a new movie trailer!

In this weeks episode we got more on Goodra's past; along with the attacking Bug-types, a fire was caused by a Seviper using Flamethrower.

And this all being led by a Florges? It must have gotten over it, but it's no surprise Goodra was more fearful than normal amongst Fairy-types.

I meant the writers feel it's too early for Ash to have a fully evolved Dragon because Ash isn't nearly half way done with his journey in Kalos.

Yeah, I know that's what you meant, I was just trying to be sarcastic. But seriously, if the writers really think that, they're idiots. Ash wouldn't have to use Goodra in all battles and Goodra wouldn't have to be invincible. I'd just like to see Ash finally have a good Dragon-type he could count on in life-or-death situations. Charizard and Sceptile were so good at that, but I don't see those two coming back any time soon... Unless Ash gets a Key Stone and the right Mega Stones for them, that is.

New summaries for XY069, XY070 and XY071. And new details on the second XY movie, with a new Pokémon form reveal and a distribution happening in Japan;

XY069
"As they continue their journey, Ash and his friends stop by the wetlands that are the "Dragon Pokémon" Goodra's homeland. Goodra is delighted to be reunited with its old friends, but things seem to be a bit off somewhere. Then, an army led by the ruler of the wetlands, the "Flower Pokémon" Florges, assaults the group!"

XY070
"Even though Ash and the others are aware of the conflict between the Pokémon living in the wetlands and feel bad about it, they also feel that humans shouldn't meddle in issues that are purely between Pokémon. However, that night, Pikachu ends up getting abducted by Florges' army, and as Ash sets out to rescue it, he learns the actual truth behind the series of events that has occurred here."

XY071
"During a battle against Team Rocket, Ash and his friends suddenly get attacked by a Pangoro. The resulting chaos causes Ash's travelmate Bonnie to get separated from the others, but she notices the Meowth from Team Rocket is nearby. And not only that, the two of them have been tied together with a vine, forcing them to work together no matter how little they want to."

The first images from CoroCoro have leaked and have revealed the first details about the upcoming movie, The Archdjinni of the Rings - Hoopa, due for release in Japan in Summer 2015. In it, it reveals Hoopa Unbound which is a Psychic/Dark-type alternate form. It is said to be 13 times taller and 50 times heavier than standard Hoopa. It also reveals the the 6 Legendary distributions running from June as being: Groudon, Kyogre, Kyurem, Dialga, Palkia & Giratina. These Pokémon are obtained by prebooking your tickets to the movie, and taking the tickets to stores such as the Pokémon Center, Toys 'R' Us and 7-11 in order to download one of the six Pokémon. They can be obtained from June 20th to August 1st.

All Pokémon are Level 100. Giratina comes with the moves Aura Sphere, Draco Meteor, Shadow Force, Iron Head and holding the Griseous Orb. Kyurem comes with the moves Glaciate, Scary Face, Draco Meteor, Iron Head and holds the Life Orb. Kyogre has the moves Water Spout, Thunder, Sheer Cold, Ice Beam and holds the Choice Scarf. Palkia comes with Earth Power, Aura Sphere, Spacial Rend, and Hydro Pump while holding the Lustrous Orb. Dialga comes with Metal Burst, Overheat, Roar of Time,Flash Cannon and the Adamant Orb and finally, Groudon comes with the moves Fire Punch, Solar Beam, Hammer Arm, and Rock Slide while holding the Choice Band.

On Oha Suta, starting on April 23rd, something called Hoopa's Appear Plan is set to air. It's not known what this entails at this point but features a screenshot of Hoopa from the anime.

I thank you all for your time here, even if there wasn't much going on. But now it's time to move on...
