I'd like to think it would be possible to introduce one of Meguroko's evolved forms just because I'm betting there won't be much time to introduce one later on, but it probably won't happen. I think the writers want to stick with showcasing all the new little Isshu region Pokemon and not the bigger ones yet since it would sort of clash with the "beginning of an adventure" feel they're trying to create. Besides, I think we'd know by now if one of it's evolved forms appears in the episode.
Hmmm I kinda disagree. Mostly because of the opening. Of the silhouetted pokemon, you can see Pendoraa, Onondo and Ononokusu being there. Those are pretty big pokemon, and I don't think that they'd keep all of those silhouettes blackened for that long..
Silhouettes left veiled:
In the forest
- Yanappu & Boappu: BW5
- Chaobuu
In the city like environment
- Meguroku: BW3
- Yabakuron
- Tabunne: Really soon as it's owned by Nurse Joys
- Munna: BW6
With the water in the background
- Hatoopoo
- Futachimaru: BW4
On the hill
- Janobii: BW4
- Ononokusu
- Darumakka
- Hihidaruma
When they all start falling:
- Pururiru
- Doryuuzu
- Musharna: BW6
- Hiyappu: BW5
- Onondo
- Hoiiga
- Pendoraa
The only one I'm not sure about it Hoiiga, but it's a circular being with two horns next to Pendoraa.. It could just as well be Darumakka.. But anyway, most of the pokemon are not that rare, I just don't see them leaving the silhouettes black for that long. So that would mean that Pendoraa and the Dragon line would be shown fairly early.. Talking about BW1-25 here as this opening is meant to stretch the first 50 episodes or so right?
Noticably absent are the likes of Yooterri, Haderia, Chokoneko and Miruhoggu.. They seem what would otherwise be staples.. And I really don't know why they included Pendoraa in the shot. Maybe its the same as that one shot an earlier opening we had in Johto, with Ash and co on a ridge with just a random bunch of pokemon (with the likes of Exeggcutor, Ampharos, Stantler, Growlithe and even Gyarados having nothing to do with the group, but strangely, a Donphan (was it planned to be Ash's that soon?)..
