A recycled story line in Da!? Who would have thought
I don't get how this episode is suddenly good when we barely know any thing about it. I'll wait for a better summary before I jump on the band wagon cuz right now this episode looks like a filler to give the new girl more screentime.
Because the episodes turn worse and worse the more we know about them, and turn out even worse having aired? Examples:
Zoroark appears:
- General reactions: ZOROARK!! FINALLY!!
- When summaries rolled out: I'm not getting it.. What's going on?
- Actual episode: Turns out to be written by incompetent fools that can make even Zoroark look like a nitwit.
Ash's Butterfree appears:
- General reactions: BUTTERFREE REAPPEARS!! FINALLY!! AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, BUTTEFREE?!?! WOW!!! LETS HOPE THEY DO PIDGEOT/LAPRAS/AMBIPOM/PRIMEAPE NEXT!!
- When summaries rolled out: Oh jeez, I still hope we get to see Butterfree! o.0
- Actual episode: Ash's Butterfree didn't appear, and we got a filler with Ash forcing a Caterpie to evolve all the way in one episode.
Jirachi episode:
- General reactions: JIRACHI's FIRST ANIMÉ APPEARANCE, THIS SHOULD BE GOOD!!
- When summaries rolled out: What the heck are we supposed to make of this?
- Actual episode: Haven't seen it, but general consensus of what I read was that the plot was lacking and generic.
See the point? Epic pokemon, awesome expectations, which get lowered by summaries, which vanish by the time the episode airs, leaving sour tastes.
For me, it's going to take a whole lot of evidence/receipts/pics for me to get excited about this series again. It's just not worth going through the process of the above yet again.
It could be a setup for something. I don't know what. But this title makes me suspicious.
Inb4BW23/24..
It's sad that we're expecting something. We should know better.
I saw "comet", remembered that there's another Jirachi event running in August and figured it was Jirachi
Again
Because why not!
I actually posted the same idea just a few days ago.. Before this title was revealed, because Wynaut? Then I thought Deoxys, and then I read a Kyurem-idea. Who knows!
Seems like Noivern won't appear til this episode. Cause the previous screenshot showed it in the cave aswell.
Will be nice to see Noivern in action!
I hope Noivern doesn't suffer the same fate as that other sound based Flying-type early reveal that debuted in an earlier series.. Cough*CHATOT*cough.. Oh, my, god, what did that poor bird get nothing to do an entire series long, aside from sitting on a Jenny's shoulder in a filler.. -_-
sounds interesting. I wonder why there in the ruins? Just stumble into it by chance? or could this be the reason Alexa is on the islands in the first place?
Could be. Perhaps there's an issue with the Dragon-type pokemon, which causes the media and authorities to flock. The Claire episode could be prior to this, and Claire could be here as well? Who knows. One last hooray for Dragons before they get slaughtered by Fairies.. -.-
Japanese and American? WTF?
Kanto, OI, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh's Nurse and Officer and their Unova's counterpart.
Ash isn't in America, pokemon's Earth isn't even like the real one. Japan wasn't even mentioned in the anime, nor any other country.
Besides, how would it make sense for Unova to be America, while the other regions represent Japan, when they all speak the same language?
On another note, I'm looking forward to see my favourite Kalos' pokemon debut. And I hope we get at least 1 lab episode too.
Some people like to think that way. I can remember at one point that China was referenced in the OS. If I remember correctly.
or maybe the group end up lost and Noivern uses sound waves to help guide them out. Kinda like how Brocks zubat used supersonic to help create a map back in johto.
If this is the case I wonder if we will see Noivern with supersonic.
plus the above scenario would be perfect for a palpitoad reappearance
Perfect for Palpitoad? Is there a Zebstrika involved? No? Then it's
not perfect for Palpitoad.. -.-
Ghosts have no substance though, so I don't see how sound waves would help. I honestly don't think Noivern will be used to find the Ghost-type Pokemon; I think it's more likely that it's being used here simply to show that Alexa is a competent battler and also to further promote X & Y.
Do you honestly expect to see Palpitoad in this episode?
I don't think that the former is even an issue, it's only the latter for which this episode has been made. I don't expect Palpitoad to appear until Pallet Town.
What if there is a preevolution for druddigon this gen?
Ash still wouldn't catch it..
