Well Saito was going to have to debut eventually. I suppose that they could've waited a little longer and shown Rurina or Yarrow first, but maybe they realized that kids love Fighting-types or something.

I just think it's because it's thematically appropriate atm as Ash's newest captures are fighting types. It's similar how Bertha and Flint showed up soon after Grotle evolved into Torterra and Monferno evolved into Infernape.

GMAX Gengar vs. GMAX Machamp could be interesting. Though if Ash loses to Bea I think more fans would be convinced of Gengar being the jobber

It'll probably be Pikachu unless they let Farfetch'd or Riolu regular Dynamax, if it is a 2v2 again then I'd say they're likely to go all in and have Ash fight Fighting with Fighting. If there's three then the rat is likely here due to him throwing a big fit(If he got sidelined again then that episode's just a bigger joke lol)
Korrina's likely gonna appear again so I'd really rather Ash just win here so Bea is out of the way and we can see a different Type specialist appear like Nessa, Melony/Gordie, or Allister(I want Piers but it's too early to think about him when his sister is unaccounted for atm >.> ). He can always lose to Bede or Marnie anyways, whenever they appear...

I mean, young kids and teens like myself tend to like action and anything shounen related and the closest thing to shounen in Pkmn are Fighting types since they’re combat related and that’s what’s usually attractive to kids and teens nowadays.
Back in my day kids use to love the Fire types more. Fighting was a second-rate shounen type to Fire.

Has that changed?

It's so weird. You'd think the Promotional Team would be hyping the heck out of Bea's debut just like they did with Raihan. Especially since her debut episode is not even 10 episodes away from his

Apart from one or two images that showed a Machamp or a Hitmontop, it's just been complete radio silence

Raihan’s more of a big deal compared to her tho since he’s part of the top 8 and is a Champion level Gym leader while Bea isn’t.

So in the anime, Korrina didn’t have her own Hawlucha, presumably cause they wanted Lucario to be her ace and maybe cause Ash caught one? So I’m wondering if maybe Bea won’t showcase Sirfetch’d so Ash and Go are surprised that Galarian Farfetch’d evolves when Ash’s does. I wouldn’t mind seeing Gengar go Gigantamax if Ash and Bea fight. Since Gengar could use some love.

I actually want ash to lose here i case he is battling bea. He has used dynamax only once. So i hope losing here eould make him want to train more in dynamaxing and hence go after trainers in galar.

I'd prefer she show off Grapploct if anything along with likely her Machamp. Sirfetch'd I think would be weird unless they want to repeat what they did with Korrina a few episodes ago, which......would be annoying and I'd prefer something more unique for Farfetch'd. I don't need Farfetch'd looking up to Sirfetch'd in awe like Riolu did with Lucario. I don't want to see Farfetch'd looking antagonistic towards it.

I want them to avoid Sirfetch'd entirely in regards to Bea. Let Ash debut the Pokemon when Farfetch'd knocks out 3 Pokemon in a row....LOL.

Raihan’s more of a big deal compared to her tho since he’s part of the top 8 and is a Champion level Gym leader while Bea isn’t.

Sure, but Bea is an 8th generation character, so you'd think regardless they'd hype 8th generation stuff because in comparison to the anime (in regards to every other stuff), it's brand new.

Plus, he's more or less due for another loss. He's had it too good since his battle with Leon, jobbing poor fools left and right (with the exception of Korrina of course)

We have 5 Galar pokemon that are supposedly being introduced from the scans:

Gossifleur
G. ponyta
Morpeko
Alcremie
Wooloo
With Yamper already being with Koharu

What are peoples thoughts on one of these appearing in this episode and potentially being caught by the main cast (supposing the episode is in Galar)?

Morpeko seems to be slotted for TRio (with their Pokedex implying they'll meet it again later for the Dex enty). The others are up in the air as possible captures for Ash/Gou/Koharu (though I can't really see them with Ash) captures.

Alcremie has been showing up in Promotional for a while now. And it's one of the most popular Gen 8 Pokemon of all time. (In Japan it's only beaten out by Corviknight as the most popular)

I'd be very surprised if it doesn't end up on the Main cast somehow

Must have been a sudden change since Bewear was the only Fighting type around in SM

Since Gengar could use some love.

That is precisely why I don't want her to have one. I think the Kanto characters would be more surprised when they see Ash's Farfetch'd evolve and probably have better reactions too than if Bea casually reveals it, besides there are two other Fighting types from Galar that could use some screentime(And until proven otherwise I'd say this is another 2v2)

I actually want ash to lose here i case he is battling bea. He has used dynamax only once. So i hope losing here eould make him want to train more in dynamaxing and hence go after trainers in galar.

Eh, I agree but you know Korrina's likely coming back right? lol
I've been wanting Ash to lose but I'd rather Ash win against Bea so we have one less Fighting specialist, bad enough Ash is likely going to have three on his team we don't need two Fighting specialists recurring characters :p

Wooloo and Gossifleur scream random capture by Goh in possibly this episode?
Hopefully Ponyta and Alcreamie go to Ash and Chloe, in that order.

I'd love to see Bea with Falinks. It's one of my favorite Gen 8 Pokemon!

Yes please!

I rather have Ash get Alcreamie and Chloe get Galarian Ponyta. Alcreamie can be Ash’s first Pokémon that is completely female and I wouldn’t mind if he showcases its G max form.

Oh right, Morpeko. Unless "Got Pikachu?!" is where it is caught, I hope the TRio get it here. Otherwise it could potentially stow away in Ash's bag and go back to Kanto with them and get caught by the TRio there(It's after this one, every Galar episode had one following it thus far but that doesn't mean it'll always happen. The Galar episodes did have stupidly long gaps until this episode after all~)
