Brandon Reappearance?

[ChaosMage]

As we all noticed a while back, Reggie never defeated Brandon at the Battle Pyramid, but attempted to do so and lost (as we know, defeating Brandon is far from an easy task unless you have the mighty Volt Tackle of doom at your disposal). In the recent Paul/Brock conversation, Paul exhibits a lack of respect for his brother's decision to end his journey having lost to Brandon. I'm not going to go into this too much, but the similarity in appearance between Brandon and the brothers has also been pointed out, and these revelations certainly show some significance of Brandon in their lives. Brandon is also likely to play a role in debuting Regigigas, which in-game requires the Regi trio (Reggie's original and dub names even sound a little familiar...), and if Byron is appearing so soon, Snowpoint City can't be much more than about twenty episodes away. I think it's increasingly likely that Brandon will reappear and battle either Reggie or Paul around Snowpoint.

Any thoughts?

I hope so.

He's been mentioned once before in Sinnoh, in the Raichu episode by Ash.

Brandon is probably Paul and Reggie's DADDY.

Its hilarious because when Paul first appeared people joked about him looking like "Brandon Jr." and the scary thing is it may turn out to be true.

 

[Korobooshi Kojiro]

Remember Nugai?

I'm actually booking on him being their dad, seriously.

 

[ShinyCharyZard]

I actually think that Brandon would be their father....but we already have a thread for relation talk. So i wont go any further with that.

All the clues appear to be adding up to an appearance from Brandon.

Jun apparently really wants to meet Paul. Could this be because he knows that both of their fathers are frontier brains?....oops, there i go with the family relations again.

 

[Korobooshi Kojiro]

I actually thought that as well.

Perhaps Palmer and Brandon are rivals/friends?

Also there is the ruins of Iron Island so that also might be a hint to Branden appearing

 

[espeon+glaceon=awsome]

I would crak up if he was there father

No no, Palmer and Brandon are long lost brothers

More dumb A** ideas

Brandon is Professor in 5th gen
Brandon is ASH'S FATHER
Brandon is Paul, Ash and Reggie's father
Brandon is Oak's Brother

Dumb ideas by E+G=A

I've been saying this since I joined the forums!
It was even more enforced when it was revealed that Reggie has every badge and symbol except for the Brave Symbol.
Or it could just mean he's a coward.

 

[Shiny Venusaur]

Hmm I never really thought about it, thats a cool idea if we see Brandon again

 

[Araleon]

Ya know, I never thought of that. That would be cool, and even more character development. That could mean the writer have been planning Paul for a while. The Reggie thing fit with it. Maybe he couldn't bring himself to battle his dad...

 

[Hejiru]

I suppose that would make sense....
And on the topic of the Regigigas&Brandon theory...
Reiji = Regi? Anyone? Anyone? .......Bueller?

 

[the1stpkmnfan]

At first, I thought you were talking about Brendan, but ok, this is about BrandOn.

Anyway, I hope he comes back, hopefully if he reappears in the New Battle Frontier.

 

[thunderblade12]

Not sure about him being Paul/Reggie's dad(although that would explain a few things and they do have some resemblance) but can see him returning just for the sake of Regigigas

Well, it would make sense for him to appear in a Regigigas arc.
And maybe Paul would be there too.

 

[Red Jr.]

It would be awesome if Brandan was their father, Jun knows Paul because both their dads are frontier brains, and Brendan introduces Regigigas to the anime. I just hope the writers are that creative enough.

 

[Hejiru]

But.... can an anime-only character(Paul/Reggie) be a son to a game(Brandon) character?

 

[Korobooshi Kojiro]

I don't see why not.

 

[Hejiru]

I don't see why not.

No concrete reason, it just seems... odd.

 

[thunderblade12]

Yeah, Sabrina's dad, Flannery's grandfather and Koga's daughter Kaya where anime-only
