BWS2-23: Ash Vs Kotetsu! Secret Weapon Hydreigon!! [FIRST POST]

Thats a pretty stupid statement, care to state your reasons.

And if those reason are:

-He came late
-Hes beating Belle
-He has Riolo and Samurott

They aren't justified to make a character a bad character, the sense I have is that most people that don't have him for a stupid reason enjoy his character.

I fail to see how not liking his Pokémon choices, and he's beating Bianca so early are stupid reasons for not liking him.

I don't hate him for beating Belle, I just wish she could have faced him later somehow, another round further in would have been nice.

agreed. They could have saved this for the 3 vs 3 round at least. That way, it could be their three pokemon that we are used to seeing.

Honestly I can not stand that guy. He not even got some powerful pokemon and freaking sazandora, but became the most dumb character in the all franchise. He thought that Unove League will take place in the Ecruteak, choose riolu for battle when it can`t be on the gym battlefield, forgot to register for the League. Ash, Barry and Bianca are genius comparing to him.
I guess his name in the dub will be Moron. It perfectly suits him.

Yeah I just don't get it, Kotetsu will more than likely be battling a COTD the same round as Ash vs Stephan.

I get that maybe they didn't want to have ONE too many rival scenes.

But it is really insulting that Bianca is losing in a round she didn't have to.

Bianca and Kotesu could've battled random characters, then battled each other, then Kotetsu could've battled Ash.

I'f this means that there's time to show a full 3 vs 3 battle of Ash vs a COTD then I'm fine with it. Well, I'm kinda fine with it any way since I only really care about Ash, but then I'd ENCOURAGE it lol.

Ash vs COTD is only going to be a 2 on 2 just like Bianca vs Kotesu.

Do we really care about Minccino that much? Honestly?

Which is good!!!!

Ash vs. Stephan is 3 vs. 3, meaning they'll stick more time into it, and can have Kotetsu breeze through a CotD without having to put too much effort into the animating.

Bianca vs. Kotetsu is a 2 vs. 2, meaning that it will take less time then a 3vs3, meaning that the animators have more time to show Ash's 2vs2 to a CotD, instead of having to rush a 3vs3!!

I don't find it insulting.. What's insulting is the development she had during the arc.. Now that was pisspoor..

Ash vs COTD is only going to be a 2 on 2 just like Bianca vs Kotesu.

Which is good, because then they have more time for that battle instead of when they had to force in two 3vs3...

It would be nice if someone specifically told us what it said.

I doubt the summary says "And we're hinting that Riolu is evolving"

I want to know what's being said that hints at Riolu evolving.

Edit: Not that I'm doubting it, I just want to know what it says.

"The fourth round match is a full 6-on-6 battle. In the middle of the fierce fight, something happens to Riolu?"

(Sorry, it's impossible to translate in more detail than this. It COULD mean an evolution, but it doesn't really imply so to any great degree. It's not worded the same way as those summaries that DO imply evolutions without outright saying it, either)

so if not evolution then what.

How about friendly fire? While hydreigon is rampaging Riolu gets injured by a stray blast?

No, that wouldn't be worded that way. Maybe "something happens with Riolu" is better? Basically, the "something" that happens involves Riolu and no one else.

It's perfectly possible it learns a new move, has an Ability activate, gets paralyzed by Static... hell, even gets sick. Who knows?

Activate an Ability, uh? That would be interesting. Maybe… it may activate Steadfast after flinching from Scraggy's Headbutt, for example? Or boosting its Attack after receiving a Crunch?

EDIT: ops, forgot that Riolu can have Prankster as an Ability, not Justified. Never mind what I said.

[SlimeStack]

So the lineup so far:

Satoshi vs Shootie 1-on-1
Kotetsu vs Bel 2-on-2
Satoshi vs Kenyan 3-on-3
Satoshi vs Kotetsu 6-on-6

Is that right? I'm a bit out of the loop, and I'm not counting COTD battles here.

Riolu evolving would be interesting, but do they need to give Kotetsu an evolution? He's been in so few episodes that the writers can just give him his final team immediately, so it would be odd to have Riolu wait until the end. I like how cool Kotetsu's team is either way.

I see, thankyou for clarifing.

Seeing its ability activate would be nice. Maybe Riolu vs Scraggy, Headbutt causes Riolu to flinch, causing Steadfast to boost its speed

[Dephender]

We have no confirmation on how many Pokemon will battle in the Kotetsu VS Bel and Satoshi VS Kenyan matches.

I'm just speculating. The fact of the matter is just that the summary doesn't specifically imply an evolution, don't take my list of suggestions for anything more than wild guesses.

[SlimeStack]

Oh, okay, thanks! My favourite rival out of the bunch is getting a 6-on-6 with Satoshi so I'm happy. Guess I like dim-witted trainers lol.

[Snow Spade]

Hydreigon really freak out?
I wonder what hectic episode will come out, but we must see the nature of that dragon,if it is like Charizard or that of Ghetsis .. er.
It's true that the behavior does not always reflect what the Pokédex says, just look at Iris's Dragonite, it certainly does not look like a puppy as other Dragonite appear.
A bit like animals. In my opinion, Ash can do it, it will be a point of no return, I expect even double evolutions during the competition.

You don't see how those are bad reasons, thats why we disagree, its about basic principles, those are all futile dumb reasons, probably won't say anything more, since even this won't get through and If i say more I migth get a warning and people telling me I'm being rude when I'm not.

Tks, looking at that, I have an hard time believing its not evolution but we will see.

[Zariful]

Hydreigon damn this kid really gets around.

[Eneci]

It seems like a new rule: The blond rival gets beaten by the 6 on 6 rival. I'm bit disappointed by bianca losing and not facing ash! but she isn't the first rival get bad handled!
