[AuraChannelerChris]

He isn't doing it so far in this series

Correct.

(Ignoring the fact he's all battles while Goh is all ball-chucking.)

 

[SerGoldenhandtheJust]

Hmmm, the VA list only lists people who talk, right? Or does this rule out silent cameos?

It doesn't rule out silent cameos. Dragonite made a silent cameo in that cubone episode and it wasn't in the VA list.

Hmm, so no Ash huh, I wonder how this episode will be for Goh. Kinda surprised Deko Akao isn't making this episode, since she (he? IDK much about japanese names) tends to do most of Goh's major episodes. Then again, Yonemura is the series composer. Definitely looking forward to this one

Uh yeah, the list of the voice cast lists the voice cast and not... random people that aren't part of the voice cast, but would theoretically have voiced a character in the episode had that character had a need for a voice actor in that episode.

She's a woman (Deko Akao is a pseudonym anyway, her real name is Hitomi Mieno).

 

[Kazuniya]

I can smell a lot of saltiness once this episode airs.

Go-centric episode that excludes Ash, like damn.

 

[Ace-Barn]

Outside of silent cameo's I assume that all of Pikachus speaking roles in the title screen and who's that pokemon segments don't count as they are stock audio?

I am looking forward to Ash not playing a role here as I feel allot of Goh's development as his own character is stunted when Ash is around. Ash certainly helps (like Raboots episode), but Goh is often reduced to fangirling when Ash takes over an episode.

I am looking forward to seeing Goh's parents again, as well as Scyther, Misdrevous and Sobble. Farfetch'd surprisingly continues to appear with the main cast.

Ariados and Bellossom as possible captures.

 

[Crybaby Sobble]

So No Ash
Maybe he is with Chloe or with Riolu

 

[Master Pikachu 11]

The signs keep coming. Contemplate the new protagonist

They are still not going replace Ash because we still don’t know about what it means to be a Pokémon Master and they also can’t make an entire series about a character that has no interest in battling other trainers.

 

[PsychoLogical]

He’s being sarcastic.

 

[Master Pikachu 11]

He’s being sarcastic.

oh ok

 

[Henry's Journey]

The signs keep coming. Contemplate the new protagonist

Well, that general anime characters poll showed Go is already more popular than Ash (with only 7 months or so in the cast ) Go is having 4 episodes focused on him between 31-35, mmm... altough both Leon and Raihan are way more popular than them so lol.

Anyway, Ash is my fave anime character ever but I'm not bothered, this will be a first and I'm also looking forward to the new visuals of the opening.

 

[Red and Blue]

I just want to know what they will come up with to explain why Ash isn't going with Go to Johto. Maybe he is visiting his Oaked Pokemon

 

[RetroPokeFan]

Welp. Ash and Pikachu's streak of being in every episode has offically come to an end.

 

[mysticalglacia]

I don’t mind having an Ash-less episode, it would get annoying when an episode was focusing really hard on another character’s story and they had to force in some cameo of him walking with Pikachu in the distance at the very end. Though I’m expecting a well-written episode since the premise looks interesting and there isn’t an additional character to interfere.

 

[Master Pikachu 11]

I say Goh May capture an Ariados and possibly Bolossom

 

[Mr. Reloaded]

Welp. Ash and Pikachu's streak of being in every episode has offically come to an end.

Non speaking role is still possible.

 

[Sword master zacian]

So No Ash
Maybe he is with Chloe or with Riolu

Or with serena

 

[RetroPokeFan]

Non speaking role is still possible.

Funnily enough, I was about to mention that they could still be in it but just not with any dialogue.

 

[Rohanator]

Damn that's pretty funny. I like it tho, some "rules" like X must happen in every episode because that's just the way it is only hold shows back. Not that episodes without the MC are exactly unusual in many other shows.

But yea they might still sneak a silent appearance in just because.

Summary and voice cast

Some pretty surprising omissions in that voice cast. That makes this episode a pretty iconic first.

Well this episode just lost all of its appeal.

And give me a break, they aren't going to have a single episode without Go in this series with Go being needlessly shoved in our faces, don't know what the hell they are playing at here.

Another Go centric episode barely any Ash but god forbid we get an Ash centric episode (that actually includes Ash as opposed to just his Pokemon) where Go isn't stealing focus.
