Red is the only trainer not in the lodge included in these Masters EX 7th anniversary goodies that they are selling atm in Japan from what I've seen.

Maybe it means that the anniversary will have characters that are included in the lodge atm ? (I know it sounds obvious and not that surprising since most characters from the lodge are very popular but not every popular trainers are in it, Red being the most obvious example).

I've seen a lot of people mention Zinnia recently and while I would love it to be real , if this theory is true I don't think it will happen.

As you guys should know, the Japanese account for Pokemon Masters EX kinda "leaked" on their own (or maybe it's an error we will never know) that the next app icon is Mega Greninja, I mean it's pretty obvious at this point, the colors are dark blue and pink in the middle, there's only this one Pokemon that fit those colors and it happens to be a VERY popular Pokemon, a Pokemon worth of a 7th anniversary for sure.

Even the Japanese fandom think the same and for them it's pretty obvious that the pair is Serena & Mega Greninja , it would also make sense as we have a Dark focused high score event soon.

If you noticed (and saw the picture I posted) , few months ago around March-April, Masters EX announced a new Serena plush alongside Lillie & Gladion (very random to put her alongside them) out of nowhere and Serena is part of the ongoing event about ZA characters, they also reran the Kalos Neo Champion event last month out of nowhere too just to refresh people's mind , so I'd say there's a 70% chance that the first anni pair is Serena & Mega Greninja.

Not saying it's 100% her but it would align with everything going on and it's also a very popular character who's been ignored since... end of 2022 with her original Neo champion alt with Greninja.

And before anyone say Calem, yes it's also possible but less lkely as the Greninja on the icon is clearly NOT shiny and it's been established by the in game dialogues that Serena's starter is actually Greninja and not her Delphox. I highly doubt they would give ANOTHER Greninja that this time is not shiny to Calem.

I guess Paxton could work too for Mega Greninja and it's also possible but usually anniversaries don't introduce new characters , the only one that was introduced in an anniversary instead of an existing trainer getting an alt was... Ash and we all know how it ended.

TLDR : Serena & Mega Greninja has a very high chance of happening, Calem and Paxton are also also possibilities but less likely imo.

I couldn't find any other infos outside of this one picture so if you have some infos (like release date , pre-orders date etc...) don't hesitate to share.

Just wanted to show how long Akari can make EX Rain last , I went FIVE sync cycles without even having the « almost run out » animation , obviously May and Serena having their rain extension grid tile helps , I have Dahlia but only 1/5 so my 5/5 NC Serena is way more suited here.

I can’t post grids right now but they are very basic with Brainpower + WW3 for NC May (WW3 lucky skill too) and Sync Nuke grid for NC Serena (crit strike 2) and Summer Akari (head start 1) has all the top left grid tiles activated and first attack move rain.

(Btw I missclicked at the end , didn’t mean to click bubble a second time but whatever)

Sorry for the french too lol.

On a recent podcast Nash Weedle explained in English translation :

"Zelda Twilight Princess (until not so long ago) I hadn't heard anything about it, but it seems a new version could arrive at some point" "I had already commented a while back that I wasn't expecting either Wind Waker or Twilight Princess if they couldn't incorporate something more into them, and now with the Switch 2, it's possible. For Twilight Princess: strong rumors have reached me, but for Wind Waker: it seems to have been left in limbo"

https://xcancel.com/astrogo360/status/2071624739450151204

Take it with a huge grain of salt because rumors about TP coming to Switch have been around since 2020 and nothing ever happened and also it's ... Nash Weedle (who also said a 2D Zelda is coming in 2027 so it makes no sense unless TP is 2028?) honestly at this point I'm posting this for cope because I wish it becomes true lol.

(Spoilers for tomorrow's event obviously)

For context : Akari here wants to release Manaphy because it comes from a "different era" than hers despite her wanting them to stay as sync pairs forever and compare this mindset with the relationship she has with Rei , she secretly wants Rei to stay with her and the Galaxy expedition team forever even if he were to regains his memories and wanted to return to his era but she knows it would be selfish... so this implies it's a thought that scares her.

I'm not into shipping that much usually but here I really like the comparison DeNA did here between Manaphy and Rei. It's such a good idea from them and it's really well done , for some reasons the summer stories are almost always something's special (Tate & Liza's story with Jirachi come to mind).

I know it could just be friendship as always but the way she wants Rei to stay with her "forever" is a big giveaway (at least to me) lol , I just wanted to say I loved the parallel they did here.

So yeah stop being non stop pessimistic guys, Atlus is not that dumb anymore , they wouldn't cut that.

I'm not an expert when it comes to American voice actors but I trust Atlus and like P3R with Elizabeth there's probably going to be one main VA that will keep its original role , I hope it's >!Adachi !<

For Kanji , Rise and Naoto for example, since they changed VAs a lot of time in the Spin-Offs already I'm actually hyped to hear their new voices. If I had to ask for one thing , it would be for Nanako to be voiced by the person who voiced Maiko in P3R or someone similar.

We're probably won't hear all of them in one single trailer so please be respectful of the new VAs when they're announced.

Like I said in the other sub , I doubt something as popular as MDUD would get its final season announced at Anime Expo of all things instead of its own event but still worth keeping an eye on this especially since the special guest was one of the producers for MDUD S2.

My last post about it I promise lol now I hope you guys will support this new release ! I already have S2EP1 playing in the background.

The actual big date left now for MDUD (assuming nothing big is announced before) is Aniplex Online Fest in September, we'll see if our support will pay off by then.

Almost one year after the start of S2 we will be getting the opportunity to watch it on Netflix this time ! Don't forget to watch if you want more , I feel like that's our last chance to show our support now and the rest will be up to Aniplex , hopefully they make their choice this year and don't pull a Bocchi The Rock (took them more than 2 years to announce a sequel).

You would think they would use a Marin pic for easy marketing and because she's very recognizable for casuals but nope.

Their upcoming Anime lineup is very stacked too.

It went fast ! Let's support the series as much as we can next Monday if we want to get more ! I'll remind people here (again) that the anime producer literally said this when asked about a potential S3 back in January of this year :

"A work cannot develop unless the number of new viewers increases, so I would be very happy if there are people who started watching the anime or buying the original manga because of Season 2."

There's also the results of the Crunchyroll awards soon (MDUD got SIX nominations) so I feel like these next few weeks are about to be very important for the future of the anime series and it could be bright if we support this new release.

Art used is by Jun Yamazaki (animation director) from the official CD release of "Ao To Kirameki" the opening song for S2 , I don't remember anyone sharing it here.

Flannery is my fav gym leader from my fav region , I've waited years and YEARS for at least ONE alt so I had to get her to 5/5 on day one, I'm really happy even if I had to go till the end of the tiered scout.

People saying she’s only good for damage challenge and/or pasio gym battles are crazy , look at the numbers ! I know there’s Arc Silver and NC Leaf on the team but still , I think she’ll help me a lot for future special only floors 31-40 (I skipped Arc Leon so I really needed her too).

It's one of the best feeling in the world when your fav is also meta and help you with the game. Shoutout to Geeki , I hope your pulls will be good as well !

Sorry for the french lol will be sharing grids in the comments.

Thank you guys for the support on Volume 15 (still top 5 Manga best seller on Amazon above some JJK Volumes) now today is the release of S1 on Netflix so let's try to support it as much as we can no matter which country you're from. I already have the whole season playing in the background on my french Netflix account.

If everything goes well and we support it enough , we might get good news during or after this summer , that's usually the time of the year where Cloverworks announce their sequels (usually between June - December range so during the second half of each year with Bocchi the rock S2's announcement last year in February being the big exception , we know for example that they will 100% announce Spy x Family S4 in November of this year as a big event is already planned for it).
