SPOILERS: Masters Eight Discussion/Speculation Thread

[cricketlaxwolvesbandy]

I had a dream where Ash’s Torterra beat two of Cynthia’s Pokemon. I then started commanding Ash’s Lucario and I played IKU Z as I mega evolved it against Mega Garchomp and then we defeated Garchomp with an Aura Sphere. We were pretty much in control the whole time too.

The semifinal battles have been confirmed to be Full Battles.

I don't know how they're gonna fit in Ash vs. Leon if they're doing full battles now, mostly because they need some time to dedicate to Project Mew.

so will it be two parts or just one episode?

Probably two episodes per battle, at least. A Full Battle won't properly fit into a single episode.

And I can imagine a full battle in one episode.
If you follow the title of the episode, Diantha will be kicked in the ass more than Alain, so it is very possible to fit a 6v6 battle in one episode.

I personally doubt that'll be the case.

Are you not wrong?
I didn't mention Satoshi's fight with Shirona.
I meant Leon's fight with Diantha (I even mentioned Diantha in my post).

seems possible to me!

I know. This was just something else I found in regards to the semifinals.

Also:

Ash backed into a corner?
Enough of this. I’m tired of all these battles having Ash struggle and then come up with the win at the last second. These happened in Alola too (vs Gladion)

I personally doubt that'll be the case.

Also:

"Time to show the full strength of the six he's trained!"
Sounds like it is 6v6 but it could also be the last 3 pokemon out of the six. I'll try not to speculate anymore cause they are doing whatever they want.. but honestly Im not cool with 6 v 6 in semia and than 6 vs 6 in the final. It sounds wierd that round 1 ia 3v3 and the rest 6v6...

Semis are confirmed to be 6vs6 in this part:



It's the text next to Leon (where the number 6 appears twice).

I hope for a Mega Lucario here against Mega Garchomp.. it is less certain now :/

 

[Emelie]

I wonder if that Ash vs Red from the new Masters trailer will be important somehow? They did make a point about Ash training for the M8 in Pasio. Is it just for fun or could this be relevant to the upcoming Leon battle? Red is usually associated with Charizard, isn't he?

Probably for funsies as not only a way to again promote the anime but also to celebrate the game's third anniversary.

Nothing more better than bringing Red and his anime counterpart together to party.

Like, if they would have Ash train against a Charizard, its probably against Trevor and his Mega Y, considering there is Mega Y merch.

What’s the best way for me to get a recap for the Masters Eight matchups so far?
