can’t add this on a reblog of the original post, but here’s proof anyways… how odd.

So XY80 is like one of the best Pokemon ever.

I mean, Mantle kind of reminded me of Crocodile (fittingly using a Krookodile)...Ash refers to him as “That bad guy”. The whole “Affecting the past can alter your timeline is thrown out the window.

Rotom turned into a washing machine and lawn mower!

Mantle’s goons try to steal Pokemon with a MOP AND CHAIR! Pikachu thunderbolts them and Mantle says he’s sorry, the crowd goes nuts, CONFETTI IS FALLING DOWN...you know, what...I’m in tears at this point.

The dub made it gayer

Satoshi: Serena, it looked really good on you.

Serena: Th-thank you...

Millefeui: *comes up behind Serena and puts her hands on her shoulders* (blatantly mimicking Satoshi) It looked really good on you.

------------------------------

Ash: You know, it really did look great on you.

Serena: Oh...th-thank you, Ash...

Miette: *comes up behind Serena and puts her hands on her shoulders* He's telling the truth, you know.

I can't be the only one who is hyping for the dub of XY080 just to hear Miette mimic Ash to Serena

reaction: Pokemon XY episode 80

[spoilers alert!] This week’s episode is Serena’s second Pokemon Showcase challenge. Okay, before I write anything else, I have to be honest and say that it was a little disappointing to me. I don’t want to criticize much on my first ever anime reaction post on tumblr, I really really do love anipoke, but this episode left me with a lot of mixed feelings. In a nutshell, Serena has an accident and gets her dress ripped; but remembering her past mistake and Ash’s way of never giving up, she thinks up of cutting her dress shorter and performs, overcoming that challenge. In the end, Serena gets a lot of votes and wins her first Princess Key. I liked how Serena didn’t stop after the accident and thought of a solution quickly. She really grew from her last Showcase challenge when she couldn’t follow up after Fennekin tripped and fell. But the thing that bothered me is this: the act of cutting her dress should have been a reason not to lose, not a reason why she would win. Other performers did great too - Jessie’s performance was unique and fun, and Miette’s was really similar to Serena’s. I don’t get why Serena would have gotten twice as much votes as other people. The audience didn’t see how she overcame her past challenges, so I think it would have been better if Serena actually fell during her performance like last time but did something more to make up her mistakes. I’m not the one making anipoke though. I just wanted more scenes of Serena practicing, failing, and not giving up so that I could relate more to Serena and congratulate her fully when she wins. Depsite its importance in the story, I felt that the episode was kind of weak - but oh well, it’s still a good one, and I can’t wait for next week too. Thanks for reading and bye! (p.s. Miette is really really cute when she’s teasing Serena in this episode. It’s making me think if Miette’s target is actually Serena not Ash lol.)
