I'd love to make numerous Beyblade jokes, but for the sake of heartwarming...nah! I love the little critter coming back...well, big critter now!

Naganadel learning Thunderbolt is especially heartwarming since it loved watching Pikachu use that move!

Full summary and voice cast for SM142-SM141 screenshots: www.filb.de/anime/sm/141 and SM142 preview video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1NP1W3LhHEAlso here is the teaser for the next Pokémon anime series, simply titled "Pocket Monsters": I guess it's a good time to reveal that I will no longer be posting titles and summaries after Sun & Moon ends, I've just gotten bored of doing it.

As you wish Don, but quite honestly thank you for all of it over the years, haha. With the anime having reached a long milestone after 22 years, I feel like it's a time for a new era in the Pokemon anime verse. I think after the SM series is over with, it can be a good place for many to bow out, but I'll stick around to watch the next follow up series. The magazines you've posted have been very helpful, so I'll say again, thanks a lot!
Episode highlights! 1)I found the beyblade spinning Ash, Pikachu, and Melmetal to be hilarious with Naganadel watching it all and promptly getting dizzy. It was a cute little endearing moment. 2)Torrecat absorbed the Blast Burn! That means the kitty kat is better than the frog! But I'm sure this is build-up for the evolution into Incineroar which may came by the next episode, or possibly the one after that. 3)Dusk Lycanroc's method of handling the broken Stone Edge was a nice little callback to not only how Stone Edge originally was(a bunch of rock fragments thrust at the opponent) but also back in Ash vs Byrcen's battle with the then-Krokorok grabbing onto the Stone Edge fragments and using them as a weapon.
You know, the SM series as a whole lacked a full six on six battle up until now. Given the massive amounts of personification each of Ash's Pokemon have gotten since the start, I feel as if that's an intentional thing as to get a nice final boss fight with all of the individual build up each has to just this one point! Either way, Kukui's strength is pretty much identical to any other region's champion, or coming the closest thing to it. It's gonna be a terrific battle, haha.

Very well Don. Of course if you ever wish to discuss anything Pokemon, well my door is always open. Though granted as the last several years I've witnessed was quite a bit of squabbling with a few with a massive vendetta or crusade for their ideologies, quite understandable on why you'd want to just dump it all and move on.
I can't think of how to write episode guides as humorous the way the former Dodgemasters have - it's why I've never really tried my hand at them and uploading pictures has been a bother. Though of course that became a chore for him overtime as well. Well, nothing lasts forever I suppose.

At the time this forum was created was when I wasn't ready to say goodbye to Pokemopolis.
But now, actually for a long while, I have been ready, I was simply waiting for the right time.
I chose once SM ends, because it just does not feel right to suddenly cut off posting about it.

Also I won't lie back in 2017 going into 2018 I felt like maybe it was time to put this thread to rest but that was mostly due to some of the much unneeded heated sub vs dub debates that has thankfully died down, and the over praise that SM was getting on here like it could do no wrong, but I am long over that, no offense to the people like the series I still enjoy the series myself.
Don you said you'd stop when Sun and Moon ends do you mean when it ends in the Japanese version or both English and Japanese versions?
Starlia it can be a bit difficult to do a guide, all I can say is just do it your way in a way you feel comfortable with.
On another note, what are your thoughts on the new series? We haven't really talked about that.

I'm actually worried for the new series. On one hand, the idea of a possible world tour intrigues me. There's a possibility that we'll see Ash's old friends. On the other hand, if they keep the Anime tied to the games, then this series will feel very rushed. Though if they decouple the amine and the games, then this will allow the writers to tell their stories at their own pace. We also don't know if this new amine series follows Ash from the original universe or from the alternate universe from movies 20 and 21, though it may look like it's from the original universe. We'll just have to wait until we get further information about the series before we can make the determination. I like that they are refining the Sun and Moon art style, rather than going back to the XY art style. They seem to have a pattern going on here. Every odd numbered generation, they give Ash a completely new look, and the even numbered generation after, they refine his look.

The odd number gen seasons are pretty much the experimental seasons to see what works and what doesn't work, then they improve on that in the even numbered gen seasons.
Yeah I do hope that it's the continuation of the original universe Ash's journey because there's still more to his story, though I'm not against AU Ash being the main character for the new series but I think his story should stick to movies for now at least.

New title, summaries and staff details- SM146: Thank You, Alola! Respective Departures!!More information revealed and characters introduced for the new Pocket Monsters anime: Koharu is Gou's childhood friend (while it's not mentioned on the Tweet, it is said in the Serebii.net website, but I just wanted to say it anyway).

so how do you think the goodbyes will be handled this time around?
Will it go out with a bang like xy/xyz or a whimper like bw?
