AG177: Ash & Brock! Tag Battle Defending Pewter Gym! Preview thread

[Thriller]

According to PokeAni there's a Steelix in it, and it may or may not be Brock's Onix.

Thats basically all thats known.

All I hope is that Ludy is in it. Darnit Ludy join the team again, I miss you.

Anyways, this episode looks neat, wonder what the Steelix is about, be a bonus if it was Brocks Onix.

it could be Brock's Onix. maybe his bro has a metal coat on it and he trades it back to Brock. That would be cool. It'll be cool to see Brock's pokemon again anyway.

 

[Heracross]

Hopefully Takeshi will actually use Cro- Oh, who am I kidding?

Let's go Haganeeru!(?) :/

 

[.Bambi.]

Ho Snap!

I remember being sassed because I said Onix would be a Steelix when Satoshi-tachi returned to Pewter because Brock made a reference to it in the Golden Sudowoodo episode, but who's [hopefully] laughing now? Huh?

Oh god I hope Brock has a Steelix. I just love that Pokemon, ever-so much more over Onix as well *waves Steelix Flag*

*n00b* D:

 

[£añkaÑ]

well if it is a tag battle...

i'm guess it'll be only 2 or 1 per trainer...

so i guess 1 or 2 for ash being Pikachu (having iron tail), and either Sceptile or Donphan...

then Brock...i'd predict more Marshtomp and one more pokemon either Ludicolo or another return pokemon...or news..lol

Preview is finally up. Before anyone else posts, here's the link to the episode preview.

mms://wm.tvtokyo.speedera.net/wm.tvtokyo/anime/pokemon_ag/nweek.asf

So, no posts asking "Where's the preview?" from now on.

Okay, speculation time. It's narrated by Brock/Takeshi, and there is a Steelix, Geodude, and Crobat, all of which I'm guessing are Brock's. Team Rocket are back together, and it looks like they're the ones that are attacking the gym. There's also an Aggron, and Ash is battling using Donphan.

Oh yeah, there's a Charizard too.

May God help this thread.

 

[Heracross]

Oh dear. This is going to get ugly. :x

 

[CyberCubed]

Erm...Charizard?

I severely doubt it is Ash's, it looked to be battling from the opposite side. So uh...Brock's brother caught a Charizard?

 

[jolteonjak]

uggh...that damn lizard is back!

I wonder if Brock's brother has an Aggron now? I wonder if Brock will take anything with him?

Go Go Donphan!

 

[MagicBox]

Actually, with the way the preview is organized, it looks like Jessie & James are controlling the Aggron and Charizard.

If you pay close attention to the preview, the gym also looks pretty beat up, which is probably why Brock's freaking out so much. And dammit, I'm one of the few who DIDN'T want Onix to evolve, but I must admit, Steelix looks extremely cool.

Does anybody know what attack it's using at the very end of the preview?

 

[Heracross]

Looks like a dragon breath to me.

 

[Gravy]

Feck, that's some kickass animation. Iwane wins on so many levels.

I don't care how pathetically redundant Charizard, Steelix and Aggron are. At least the battle is going to look good. And (apart from underused pokemon and attacks), isn't that all that counts in a battle? Brutal fighting with moves that look like they actually have incredible force?

Only complaints I have here are-
a.) Team Rocket are doing the fighting
b.) Steelix over Crobat/Marshtomp/Geodude/Crobat? Looks like my vacuum cleaner has some competition!
c.) There wasn't enough Mizuho in that preview ....the smily face indicates the rather lame sorrow of a pathetic fanboy. It does. It does!

 

[dannyphantomhott]

This episode looks awesome, can't wait to see images for this one.

 

[CyberCubed]

Is this Donphan's first "real" battle since Lucy? Just curious. :x

 

[MagicBox]

Yeah, if memory serves correctly, I think it's the first official battle Donphan's had since the Battle Pike.

My only hope is that Forretress, Marshtomp, and Bonsly get to interact with either Brock's siblings or the rest of his Pokemon.

I remember being sassed because I said Onix would be a Steelix when Satoshi-tachi returned to Pewter because Brock made a reference to it in the Golden Sudowoodo episode, but who's [hopefully] laughing now? Huh?

What was the reference? I hope that Steelix is Brock's and Ludicolo returns

 

[CyberCubed]

It looks like Flint and Mizuho are really head over heels for each other again. Brock may find himself with yet another little brother or sister in the future.

Let's hope they have octuplets for comedy purposes.

 

[S.Suikun]

Well, while we don't have any confirmation about the Steelix being our good friend Onix who has been around since Episode 5, there's more evidence for it than against it at this point. That said, I would rather Geodude have evolved, due to Steelix being so over-showcased ever since Olivine Gym. And Charizard...speaking of over-showcased. Looks as though Mizuho gave the gym a flowery overhaul. Wonder if we'll get to see her battle in this. If TR are the opponents, I wonder where they obtained the Pokemon and how they got them under their control.

And yeah, animation roxxors in this.

Oh, and if there was still any doubt about TR separating in the previous episode, this debunks all theories.

 

[£añkaÑ]

OMG...it kinda looks ruined...
but it does confirmed taht TR is back together...lol

and sadly it may be only a 1 pokemon per trainer in the pair battle..don't like that

beside that lot of mushy thing to expect

but hey it is brokc's family were talking about...
i'd laugh if one of brock's bro started flirting..and max pulled the year

or more funny one of the siblings flirting with may or max...SO FUNNY...

if they do that...this ep will get a 9/10

 

[jolteonjak]

btw...edit the title...isn't this 177 since the TR ep was 176?
