I’m so excited for XY anime and then sad because I feel empty inside

Until the day we meet again.

Everyone, let’s hold hands, in painful times even more tightly,

Let’s combine our strength, come on, come on, let’s hold hands,

Let’s hold hands forever and ever.

The last episode of Pokemon Best Wishes, it certainly has been a while, Bulbasaur. Alexa and Ash are at the Oak ranch. 

Reblogging again - so, according to Aza, it roughly says: Satoshi and the others arrive in Kuchiba City, and their travel together ends as they leave the Decolora archipelago. Time for farewells with Iris and Dent. Now, they all go forward their respective dream. So, apparently, the dreaded separation won't be until next week, not in this week's episode. In that case, we would have the same format as the "last" episode of OS (well, there was another one after it, in which Satoshi headed to Hoenn, but...): first part of the episode with the two companions, then, going back alone and staying in Masara in the second part.

More Best Wishes news!!!!

The short summary of the final BW episode airing on September 26th (as confirmed by the trailer which says that Best Wishes finale is on September 26th) confirms that Ash is back in Pallet town and goes to meet his old Pokémon. Team Rocket trio is also there, as per usual.

As for the Cilan/Brock meeting … The title is …

Dent and Takeshi! The Angered Gyarados’s Outrage!!

The episode where Cilan and Brock meet seems to be a special and is airing on October 3rd (after the final BW episode). Cilan is confirmed to be in Johto (which means Brock is there too) and fishes by the lake when an angry Gyarados emerges. He battles the Gyarados with his Pansage, but his Pansage gets badly hurt upon losing.

Still no news on Iris stuff. This might very well be a one-hour special like Dawn/Brock specials during BW with Cilan getting one episode with Brock, and Iris getting the other with Clair.

October 10th is having some sort of special XY broadcast.

October 17th marks the beginning of XY anime.

Well isn't this presumptuous?

This French website assumes that the mysterious first two Thursdays of October will be used to air the 59th and 60th episodes of “Best Wishes Season 2”, even though this very article declares the 58th episode to be the series finale, as was confirmed by the preview teaser for the series ending.

On the other hand, it does seem odd that Season 16 of the “Pokemon" international dub would only have 45 episodes rather than a number closer to the previous seasons’ episode counts (48 episodes and 49 episodes). Even stranger would be that it would mean only one episode, the last episode, would air in December in the US: the same month that would have to also air a movie on CN that features Iris and Cilan with Ash even though they would have already just left him on the show. So it is possible that they’ll throw out two extra episodes before the premiere of "XY”, and the hyped premiere of “Pokemon: The Origin" on the Wednesday before the first mystery air date would serve as a distraction from the unceremonious finish to "Best Wishes.” 

And if any episodes could fit that scenario, it would be these ones. 

Just don't trust French websites. Just... don't. French-speaker testifying here. If the Japanese magazines are saying 9/26 is the last episode, then it is :3 Yes, two weeks without an episode makes a three weeks gap between Best Wishes!'s finale and the beginning of XY - but a gap this long isn't unheard of. (And there is also the possibility that they might drop surprise special episodes on us... But without promotion from the Smash, it would be unlikely.)

Till’ the end I will be with you, We will go where our dreams come true, All the times that we have been through, You will always be my best friends…

what if they used kokoro no fanfare as an insert song for best wishes finale :>

... Or "Nanairo Āchi" - because it was made to feel like a link between BW and older series (AG and DP) with the singers joining side, and we are precisely going back to the roots to leave again for a new series ;___; Also, rainbows are traditionally a symbol for communication or crossing the distance, so.... ;___;

Final Best Wishes episode title

My Dream, Pokemon Master!! 「オレの夢、ポケモンマスター！！」

It airs on September 26th.

New episode!

"Best Wishes! Until the Day We Meet Again!"

You know what that means.

*cough* inb4 it's actually a misleading title and Satoshi/Iris/Dent only part ways with one of their 'mon... Or it's referring to the Laplas-who-will-be-in-the-episode-and-could-be-Satoshi's-friend.
