Hmmm, there's really no telling what could happen battle-wise, although it seems obvious Ash will beat Paul, although most of us thought Dawn would beat Zoey and look how that turned out...

Anyways, I was a little surprised to see Conway as part of the whole rival segment thing in the opening, was it even mentioned that he was collecting badges? I can't remember. But I think I'm more excited to see him battle than Paul, honestly.

Yeah, but aside from a lose, Dawn didn't really lose anything to Zoey. If Ash loses to Paul, it just proves that Paul has the right ideology. In a way, Ash winning the league, takes a backseat to the real obstacle can he beat Paul.

When it comes to battling against Paul in the League Ash has his pride in the way he treats his pokemon on the line. So Ash defeating Paul is probably the most important priority.

On a side note the First Images of the First Tsutaaja,Pokabu and Mijumaru Plushes has been Released and it seems that possibly Mijumaru's Anime Forme will have a Greenish body.
I actually really hope that the image is it's Anime Forme and that it's body stays Greenish in the Anime, it makes it look even Cuter^_^

Where? I haven't seen anything new yet!?? Post a link.

Exactly. It isn't like Dawn V. Zoey because there wasn't that whole mess on the line, Ash needs to teach Paul that his training philosophy isn't good. While Dawn and Zoey... well, that was just another rivalry, if you forget about the wild sex they're always having..

Is that really true that there are plushies of the new starters? I'd love to see them too...

Anyway, here's a totally random post:
How would you like the first ep of the BW series to be?
Assuming Dawn and Brock both leave and Ash stays- I hope we get a similar case to DP, where the first ep focus completely on BW girl while Ash only appears in the last minute and BW boy getting a little appearance like Paul's DP 2 appearance

Also, I really think they should make at least part of the first ep an introduction to the Pokémon world and a recap of Ash's story
I know this is VERY unlikely, but I'd really like most of the first ep to be explanation and recap... and the dub to keep it all
I'd do it this way:
- First 5 minutes: Explanation about the Pokémon world, what Poké are, what's their relationship with humans... and emphasize on what Gyms are, what Contests are and the differences between them (there's also potential for nice cameos here: like Mami beating Wake, a scene of May/Dawn in a new Contest, a cameo of FRLG girl)
- Next 5 minutes: Recap of Ash's whole story: seeing scenes of various old eps from the original, AG and DP series, while the narrator tell us the important events (Ash getting Pika, joining Misty and Brock, getting Top 16 in Kanto, Brock leave, Tracey join, Ash win the Orange League, Tracey leave and Brock return, Ash get Top 8 in Johto and beats Gary, Misty and Brock leave, May and Max join and Brock return, Ash getting Top 8 in Hoenn, Ash winning the BF, May and Max leave, Dawn joins, Ash get whatever place in Sinnoh League, Ash's battles with Paul)
OMG, can all of that even fit into 5 minutes? XD and will they agree to use scenes from old eps as they are? old animation style and full screen?...
I know this may be exaggerated, but I really think it's necessary... a nice way to get new viewers realize what's the Pokémon world is and learn what Ash did by now

Then we'll have about half an ep left to focus on new girl and then give us a short scene of Ash and cameo of BW boy
And then I'll make ep 2 mainly about new girl, a little about Ash and a little real appearance of BW boy
Then ep 3 they all meet and the ep focus on everyone equally

Yeah, totally random speculation... but I really want them to do it, even if I know they won't

You already made your agenda very clear previously.

Learn the difference between fanfiction and canon. You can't use your little "fics" to argue or explain any component of the anime.

These people are also going to be wrong when Ash battles Paul. He was really there to humiliate Ash, nothing more. Ash won't get his chance to "proof" how his own philosophy is somehow better than Paul's.

Every trainer has their own way of doing things, doesn't mean one is superior to the other. The anime has always made this point.

Sounds really....realistic. When do they get to show the cars?

Me too !

Anyway, here's a totally random post:
Piplup' description of the first BW episode

Actually, I hope we get as little of Ash and his backstory as possible. I liked the way we got to know Dawn in the first DP episodes as her own character and we got to establish her on her own without Ash. Hope they continue (but make it different than Pokabu saving BW girl from wild Skorupi...)

Like a World of Pokemon segment? That would be unprecedented. I looked back to DP and all we got was like an intro to Sinnoh. It doesn't have the effect it did back then, but I remember being excited seeing all the new pokemon in the anime.

BW girl/boy wont get any special episodes to themselves. It was only for Dawn to be established as counterpart to Ash.

I expect another, Ash & Co. bumping into BW girl/boy who is having a hard time trying to control their poke.

Dude. You take things too seriously. It was a joke. Unless you thought the raunchy sex was serious. If so, you have issues bro. Relax, stop by the dollar store and get a few cans of humour. You're the only person on the thread who gets butthurt over every little thing. Relax. But fine, you're right dude, whatever, are you happy? Can you go have your pokegasm in the corner now? Every little thing you've said up til' this point for the last 2 weeks, has been totally 100% correct, and you've made valid proof of everything. There, good job, congratulations, want a cookie? How about a party?

Now for everybody else. For my first episode I also would rather have very little about Ash for the first episode so we can focus on the new girl for most of the episode, get used to the new region, tell us her story, let us now a few things about isshu, and just like DP Ash shows at the end.... and shocks the crap out of her bike... ;)

EDIT Where are these plushies? I can't find them anywhere! I'm excited but I can't find them!

That's why she'll get the whole second half to herself, which will be where the story really starts, and then get most of the second ep to herself too
So she'd still get as much of an introduction as Dawn had

Like a World of Pokemon segment?

Yes, but a little longer and more detailed than the scenes from the movie intros...
This is what I'd like to see them explain and the characters I would use there for throwing nice cameos:

- Explain what Poké are: we see a lot of different Poké from all gens living in various different places

- Explain the humans/Poké relationship: we see a lot of people play with Pokémon, see FRLG girl pick up her starter (Bulbasaur?) and catch a Pokémon (Caterpie?) and a Poké evolve (Caterpie-Metapod->Butterfree?)

- Gyms Battles: we see Mami beating Wake with her Purugly and getting the badge

- Contests: we see May and/or Dawn in a Contest, doing a performance, winning the final battle (all quick scenes, of course) and getting the ribbon

That's it for the introduction part... then I want a recap with all important events that I stated before (and I forgot to include TRio meeting Ash)

That would be unprecedented.

Which is why I said it's a totally random speculation, unlikely to happen and that I don't expect them to really do it XD

I looked back to DP and all we got was like an intro to Sinnoh.

Yeah it was a very quick scene and barely explained anything... but at least they gave us something, so hopefully BW will take the idea further

BW girl/boy wont get any special episodes to themselves.

LOL

I see Paul sticking around till the end of the league to watch Ash. It'll be fun to see him commenting on Ash's battle.

HAHA right??? I want to see a few things. I want to see Paul laugh, I want to see him compliment Ash, and I want to learn something funny about him, like a funny hobby or something, idk. Kindof like Brock has a funny hobby of hitting on nurse joy.

No, he'll smile at best... Paul is MANLY

Lol, I just WANT it to happen. Lol c'mon, I won't think any less of him if he laughed. Ofcourse I also grew up watching DBZ and goku was like my hero... soI guess I like it when people laugh a lot... owell what will I do, if Paul gives a big grin i'd be pretty stoked also.

*jaw drops* That's impossible! Yet it's plainly there. The question is why. I have no comment on Reshiram and Zekrom myself.
