Omode's Twitter.
First, please not translate her tweets using Google Translate. Using it for Spanish and English causes problems, using it for Japanese is a nightmare. What Omode said is that the latest episode is her last episode of this year. Simple. And that with the XYZ season, the anime will change because the introduction of the villain plot.

Nene rocking that lookĀ
Nene is meat to be a contrast character, in the sense that she is the "fat" girl in Pokemon Showcase.
At this point, I believe that Serena will become the next Kalos Queen. I mean, she already beat Shauna, who supposed to be her main rival and other rivals as well such as Jessie, Miette and Nini. So actually the potential of her being Kalos Queen is really damn high, in my opinion.
Also i really hope in the Master Class, when sheās announced as the next Queen, sheāll have to battle (double battle hopefully) with the previous Queen aka Aria. Thatād be damn cool.
She made a "promise" that with the stick Braixen is going to be "Kalos Queen".
Do you think the recent Omode episodes didn't have much shipping because the writers wanted to tone it down? The last Tripokalon with Miette had huge Amourshipping moments with Serena's constant blushing and such, but this Tripokalon had nothing. I find it strange since Omode wrote a lot of episodes with Serena's crush in the past, maybe she was told not to include much shipping this time.
I doubt it. I mean, there was very blatant Amourshipping just last week. Weāre all very well in the know about Serenaās feelings by now, thereās no need for anything besides the occasional update that yes, her crush is alive and well. And we do get that often enough.
I know Omode is known mainly for the Amourshipping, but I think itās just a side effect of her being in charge of so many Serena eps. And thatās why a number of episodes where Amour is in the focus just happen to be written by her.
Sheās more or less āin chargeā of Serena development and Amour is one of the many things included in the package, but there are other, equally important things that come with it.
I think that the idea of Amour came from Omode.

Upcoming episodes
Even though we have little details, I donāt like the details given to 2 of the last 5 episodes of XYĀ āSeason ā³ of XY series.
Eevee capture:
I LOVE the Eevee family, not so much that Serena is getting it. However, the story of Eevee looks interesting enough for character development. (itās not evolving anytime soon, so I hope they donāt use Ā the evolution to resolve all the problems).
Tag battle:
Satoshi and tierno vs Shauna vs Serena. Seriously!? I donāt get the meaning of it (specially for Serena) but I expect that the battle ends quickly the moment of what I expect (Eevee has a crush on Pikachu).Ā
TriPokalon episode:
A Pokemon Quiz? For a TriPokalon? Thatās ridiculous (I made a funny critique about it). I think this proves that TriPokalon donāt work and they have to use things that donāt belong at all.
Also, why made the goal girls-only? Styling may be a girly activity, which is logic witht he idol stereotype thatĀ ājustifyā it, cokking might be a accepted even though it doesnāt get much logic, the free performance might might be accepted even though we see āperformancesā (although with differences) in the appeals of the Contests (with boys participating). But a quiz...? It makes no sense!
I think it proves Serenaās goal didnāt work in the show. Even less withĀ
Gym Battle.
Ā A Double battle is something rare and exciting. i expected Piakchu, but talonflame is also great. I look forward to see Frogadier starring in this Gym battle, with or without talonflame. Olympia may ppredict almost everything, but they canāt predict Ashās strategies.
Pokemon XY&Z season: I hate naming XY&Z a Ā series because it isnāt a series, at least what we consider a series.
How I expect to last? 18-25 episodes until the end of Flare arc, 9-12 Ā of the episodes dedicated to the plot and the rest about other things (i think Noivern will be one of those episodes). The longer it last, the less episodes TF will get in proportion. i donāt expect a 40 episode-arc with 25 Flare episodes.
_It will not have Gym Battle, but it may have triPokalons.
-I think Frogadierās evo will ahppen in a TF and/or Alan episode, but not the Noibatās evo episode.
-About Ash vs Alan, it0s hyped because it would mean Ash vs an extremely good trainer. But I donāt treat it until I see footage of the battle (or until Act IV airs).
-I think the Mega Sceptile will be Ashās. We know Shota will appear, but I donāt think he will get a Mega Sceptile that soon. And I actually like Shota*.
*And PLEASE; Shouta is NOT a reverse of Ash and Paul. No. Shouta is like a reverse version ofDawn and Zoey in the DP series (and I said reverse because Ash is the mentor here).
Pokemon Fan confirms the thing we all predicted: Ash will battle Alan.
Mega Evolution Trainer Alan appears!? This is Alan, master of the power of Mega Evolution! Is he going to eventually battle Ashā¦?Ā Alan and Ash are both currently traveling through the Kalos region. When are they going to meet!?
Translation: courtesy of Dephender
I canāt take this summary seriously because thereās always a chance this is just a tease. Remember ash vs N in best wishes?
I donāt remember them teasing Ash vs N, or am I remembering this wrong?
They literally called the episode ābeyond truth and ideals! Ash vs Nā everyone expected a battle of some kind but nothing of that sort happened. Even the conflict between the both was passive in nature as both of them were more or less the same side.
Not saying that is bad, but ash vs n is a terribly misleading title.
Yup, not going to fall for that again
Yeah, but there is a difference between fan expectations, especially when VS doesnāt always imply a battle, and them actually using the wordĀ ābattleā.Ā
Big difference.
The wordĀ ābattle? can be misleading because they could decide to not battle for cirucnstances of the plot. However, this makes a lot likely that they battle will indeed take palce, but I wouldnāt treat as confirmed until Act IV airs.
F. A. Q. Pokemon XYZ and you.
Valid until new info is confirmed. Most of it is valid until Thursday 17th at 6:00 Ā CET (13:00 JST).*
Is confirmed that:
Is Team Flare debuting on the anime on 29th October on XYZ01 (XY094)? Itās not confirmed, and I donāt think is happening exactly in this episode. I think it will happen between XYZ2 and XYZ5.Ā
When Ash will met Alain? It could happen in every episode except XYZ1. In practice, I donāt expect to meet Alain until late in the plot.
What is āSatoshi Gekkougaā? Iām totally WTF with this. Personally, Iām treating this like if its Satoshiās Greninja/Ashās greninja and is like a normal Greninja/Gekkouga.
Is confirmed that Serena, Clemont and Bonnie will be doomed in this arc? For Clemont/Citron , I have very low expectations. For Serena, I donāt thinks he is that bad right now after āOmodeās trioā**. I think Bonnie/Eureka will be as good (bad if you donāt like) as always.
Is confirmed that Manon wonāt appear in the arc? Extremely early, and I doubt it. I think Platane/Sycamore (this is an obvious choice), Manon/Mairin, Carnet/Diantha, Pachira/Malva and Handsome/Looker will appear. Iām 50/50 with AZ.
Is Team Flare appearing in all the episodes since its first appearance? No. And I expect episodes that had little to do with team Flare. I expect a 8-12 episode arc.Ā
Is Ash getting Mega Sceptile? Maybe, and I think this Mega Sceptile is Ashās.
What is the state of Amour in XYZ? Unless something happens in the Omodeās trio, I donāt expect important changes on the status of the ship until the Master Class.Ā
Will WUlfric happen? Depends but is not guaranteed.
Willt he OP and ED change? At least the footage, is an obvious yes. And the ED is changing.
What about M Charizrd Y? Why is not happening? i think it will still happen, but thereās something to cinsider. Ash already has 3 Flying types and one of them (Talonflame) has the EXACT type combo that M Charizard Y has. M Sceptile only shares Dragon type with Noivern (and its main type is Grass, who Ash doesnāt have in XY).
When Chespin will evovle? Unless Clemont/Citron is unexpectedly leaving (temporarely?) the group*** , donāt expect the evolution happening:
-In the first 10 episodes of XYZ (in particular, all the ones that would air in 2015).
-Until Ash gets Greninja, Key Stone, Sceptile, Sceptilite, Mega Sceptile on-screen, Noivern and the group has met Team Flare.
*Pokemon Fan could leak starting this hour (itās being released on Friday 18th).
**Omode is doing three consecutive Serena episode, (XY089, XY090 and XY091 who is Eeveeās capture, Eeveeās character development and TriPokalon respectively).
***I donāt expect it happening right now (specially with the poster) but the VA List still confuses me. However, Quilladin apopears in a leaked VA List (Chespin also appears), Manon and Alan are nowhere to be seen in that VA List, Citronās seiyuu is missing. IF Clemont leaves, it will be temporarily (at least officially) and Eureka/Bonnie will stay (she is a lot Ā more interesting than Clemont right now).
Update
Actually, Act IV will air together with one anime episode on October 29th.
I knew that a chance was happening (how, obviously not, but knew, yes).
What we know (and details):
A new anime season named Pokemon XY and Z will start airing on October 29th. As new elements of this season are:
-Zygarde and its new forms will appear.
-Alain and Lysandre (and with Team Flare) will appear,
-Ash will get Greninja (a new form), Noivern and likely Mega Sceptile. No expect changes in the rest of the main cast.
The blob will interact with Eureka.
-On October 29th Mega Evolution ACt IV will air. Apparently it will air as a 1-hour special. (I think so also because thereās so little time for the plot (specially the 10 Mega battles).
Actually, I knew something was happened specially since the Data Broadcast (which is usually leaked after the first episode of a quarter suddenly features episodes out of nowhere. The only episode ofĀ āPocket Monsters XYā missing is the Olympia Gym Battle.

No CoroCoro leaks today.
Maybe tomorrow. :(
CoroCoro is not expected to leak tomorrow. CoroCoro IS expected to leak next Saturday.Ā
Exist a way to know where CoroCoro is expected to leak (it works 80% of time if you paid attention).Ā
CoroCoro usually leaks 2 workdays before street date. If CoroCoro is expected to be release next Tuesday is expected to leak this Saturday. Also usually around 2:00 PM-4:00 PM Japanese Time. (for you (and for I) itās on early morning).
*Thereās a chance of a Friday night leak (afternoon in Europe).Ā
New summaries and animation.
Thereās 4 new summaries for the next episodes. for 3 of them, thereās the first summary. For 4chan (with outside of this, itās as shitty as ever).
XY88: >Ash and his friends end up falling into a pitfall during a battle against Team Rocket. Bonnie points out this is the exact same thing that happened to them once before, which makes Clemont remember what caused him to catch Bunnelby XY89: >As Serena is hard at work practicing for her Tripokalon, she happens to spot an Eevee dancing in a field of flowers. The dance makes a deep impression on her, and she starts thinking about how she'd like to participate in a Tripokalon together with this Eevee. XY90: >As Serena is on her way to Anistar City, she joins up with Shauna, who's going to participate in the Tripokalon, and Tierno, who rushed over to cheer Shauna on, which makes Serena all the more fired up. However, she's worried about the Eevee that just joined her. XY91: >Ash and his friends have arrived in Anistar City. Their visit there is going to start with Serena competing in the Anistar Tripokalon Tournament. Serena manages to make her way through the theme performance, but as she heads for the free performance, a certain PokƩmon of hers gets lost!
And we have animators, and proof that Omode is doing 3 consecutive episodes.Ā
XY88: Animation Director å¤ē®ä¹ ä»å½¦ (Kunihiko Natsume) >Animation Director ē“äŗē±ē“ (Yuki Naoi) >Episode Director ęø”č¾ŗę£å½¦ (Masahiko Watanabe) >Screenplay ē±³ęę£äŗ (ShÅji Yonemura) >Storyboard éå“č²“č£ (Takaomi Kanezaki) XY89: >Animation Director éęØäøē“ (Kazunori Aoki) >Episode Director č„æē°å„äø (Ken'ichi Nishida) >Screenplay é¢åŗęē¾ (Akemi Omode) >Storyboard å°¼éęµ©ę£ (Hiromasa Amano) XY90: >Animation Director ę¾ē°č³ę (Yoshiaki Matsuda) >Episode Director ååę夫 (Fumio Maezono) >Screenplay é¢åŗęē¾ (Akemi Omode) >Storyboard ęØå£é¦é (Kaori Higuchi) XY91: >Animation Director ē·ę¹å (Atsushi Ogata) >Episode Director å°å¹³éŗ»ē“ (Maki Kodaira) >Screenplay é¢åŗęē¾ (Akemi Omode) >Storyboard ęéä½å¤Ŗ (Yuta Murano)
Also, a thing that I want to mention (and I was waiting to know this). Massaki Iwane has only participating since Act III aired in a total of one episode, the Rotom episode (XY079). Itās very notorious that Iwane is taking now very long period without airing a single episode.Ā
I suspect that Iwane isnāt doing episodes anymore because he is an expensive animator. Today is more cheap to animate with a lot of animators for episode rather than made Iwane animate every frame of an episode.
Piakchu Special thing.
Now I would get with the summaries, but before I have to deal with this.
The US version of version didnāt air the Pikachu Special, with its exactly thisĀ ā Pikachu Becomes a Star!? Its Movie Debut!! / How to Pikachu the Movie! Ready! Action!! / The Thunderclap Hero! Super Pikachu!! / Pikachu's Thrilling Blooper Awardsā. The dub not airing this episode kinda confirms that this is an special and not an standard episode.
Hpwever, Adamant is sure that this is an episode and even claims that it was a mistranslation of this article.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-06-14/pikachu-gets-his-own-1-hour-tv-special/.89229
The thing is... this article is a mess but doesnāt mean the Pikachu Special is a standard episode.
This is what happened:
On June 18th 2015, TV Tokyo aired a 1-hour special namedĀ āPikachu the Movieā. The special contains:
-TheĀ Sky Relay episode, which is an standard episode, just being in a special. this episode have its dub aired in countries that reached this episode.
-The Pikachu movie episode, who has never been dubbed.
the thing is... the Pikachu movie specials looks like an special episode of XY designed to promote Cosplay Pikachu. Even though it looks like a normal episode...
It has 4 titles, thing that no other episode does. Also, the episode titles are distributed very differently from an standard episode. And unlike XY14, itās not just a different background in the title Ā card (XY14 had 1 title card with an special background that lasted a similar time than any title card).Ā
And how other Japanese airdates. So far, we know...
-The episode aired on Hulu and was released on DVD as a standard episode; however, note that the Mega Evolution Specials air on those media. Also, other Japanese local channels where the network of TV Tokyo donāt reach supposedly (I canāt verify this) aired the episode.
-We donāt know about reruns of this episode. Probably it hasnāt happened yet.
What IS the Pikachu movie episode? Apparently a Special XY epsiode designed to promote Cosplay Pikachu.
Whatās correct: Name it asĀ āXY078ā³ and followĀ āXY079 afterwardsā (Serebii, PM) and named it as a special (Bulbagarden, Filb)?
The things is both areĀ ārightā. Technically, is better to aisgn the code XY078 Ā asĀ āPiakchu movie special episodeā if there was doubt at the time of Japanese airing. Like DP120 exists both at Serebii and Bulbagarden and we know it isnāt an standard episode (ist was a clip show (and the last episode that aired on 4:3, the dub obviously didnāt air this).
Pokemon Performer
I think that having idols is obe of those ideas that in theory may work but in practice they usually donāt work well. The main reason is that Pokemon isnāt an idol anime (Aikatsu, Pretty Rhythm) nor shares audience with idol anime.(Pretty Cure, Tamagotchi (actually isnāt)). People that like idol culture want to see idol anime. And if they want to watch Pokemon is for Pokemonās characteristics, not for its adaptation of idol anime. Aikatsu and Pretty Rhythm(Pripara) offer idol activities almost every episode, Pokemon canāt do it vecause it isnāt an idol anime.
I think that Pokemon shouldn't have given its focus on Tripokalons . And if they did, it should be paid way more attention and focus the series (and now Tripokalons, with the aim of become idol).
Akemi Omode.
Akemi Omode is writing three consecutive episodes. And I donāt like it, specially when they give the reason of why. With all the respects, Serenaās story doesnāt fit in Pokemon at all. I donāt mind idol references in Pokemon but getting a goal of being an idol when itās goal is too diferent doesnāt fell right. I think that this would give little interest to the audience, specially when they donāt sing (the main attractive of idol anime). And if they want idol anime, thereās Aikatsu and Pripara. And if they want to see idol elements in idol anime thereās Pretty Cure (who actually shares a similar market compared to idol anime).
The ratings arenāt too great, so theyāre probably trying to boost it with the idol elementsā besides, I donāt know, I think the dancing and outfits are cute and charming enough on their own? Itād be even better if they actually got to sing, but this is fine!
Idol elements in an idol anime is part of the package, adding it to a show otherwise about action/adventure/friendship gives it a nice bit of variety. Really, itās just different enough from Pokemon Coordinating, which I remember some people complaining about it feeling too shoujo with the ShuHaru/Contestshipping romantic subplot, but honestly, it fit right in.
Well, idols have been present since a long time(Marina from Crystal special, idols from PokƩmon Diamond), but more importantly, idol culture is the current zeitgeist, or focus, of Japanese popular culture. So, until that ends, we can expect an increase of idol features in the franchise in general.
Same goes for moe culture.
As for Akemi Omode herself, she is currently the only female writer in the series, as Aya Matsui left in D/P. So, in the same vein to her, she is kinda the only writer qualified enough to writer her asā¦ a girl.
But no, other writers have written Serena episodes:
Tomioka-XY040, XY060
Sonada-XY026
Ohashi- XY050, XY047
Yonemura-XY021
Takegami-XY084
But as a general rule of thumb, Serena is Omodeās character, much like have Matsui and Tomioka constructed the bulk of Mayās Contest arc, or Tomioka built Dawnās contest arc.Ā
I believe that Serena's goal is being a performer because the writers didn't know what to do with Serena. Also, it's being made obvious that Amourshipping was created by Omode and I'll say that her goal is also created by Omode. I think it wasn't a good idea. Serena's goal separates her with the rest of the main cast. And is causing that the few moments that Serena battle the battles are interrupted. Why? Because she isn't battlibg outside select circunstances. Does mean that I prefer the previous situation? NO. Serena's goal may be dissapointing but is better than doing nothing in the cast.

Ash is expected to get Greninja and Chespin is expected to sray a little more as Chespin.
Or even more confusion? The merchandiae with Greninja, unlike other merch, gives info for the anime because it includes many cast Pokemon and some that it doesn't make sense to appear if they're unrelated. About Chwapin, the thing is that the VA sheet included both Chespin (with his usual seiyuu) and Quillladin. Why? We'll see.
