Am I the only person who thinks it's possible that the Darkrai is a Zoroark? Yes? No?
You're not the only one, but it still remains to be far too random. If it was Zoroark, which I doubt, then Takuto would still have Darkrai on his team. That's just how it's ability works.
I'm glad that no one taught you how to use a period.
Anyway, you are right. It doesn't necessarily reveal anything about a battle. For 8 pages now, we've been making predictions, but it could be Ash vs. Random Trainer and he's watching Darkrai pound some other trainer. It could be Ash's heads-up for the finals. Or it could just be LT vs. Ash. I don't know.
Ow come on! He just missed about 21 comma's... nothing to bark at
And lol, he's wrong it does reveal something about the battle:
1) Semifinals: D'Oh!
2) Darkrai: D'Oh!
3) Ash, Takuto, Falknerwannabee or very boring COTD, and Mirawannabee or Poppedcollar COTD will fight in this round xD Not so much D'Oh! xD
Top four imo: Ash, Takuto, Falkner wannabee, Mira wannabee, or the other, these two are close in design... Ash has yet to fight a girl in this tournament. I find that odd. Falkner wannabee is just so much better in design so he's definitely staying. So if this episode will just show the semifinals, I'm betting that the semifinals will be:
Ash vs. Mira (look a like)
Takuto vs. Falkner (look a like)
If they aren't Ash vs. Takuto and Falkner vs. Mira.
I think it may be because Darkrai is a popular Pokemon.
Damn straight it is! xD
I'm still wondering if they picked the pokemon before they decided on what kind of trainer would own it. I mean if they picked the pokemon first then they could've just let the trainer win. Sounds confusing, I know, but if they drew up the trainer first they would've started with his style. Dark, light, what kind of trainer. If they chose him to be evil'ish they might have always intended him to lose. If they just picked the most popular legendary, then it could just be that they matched the trainer to the pokemon, and the outcome would be arbitrary.
That's why I think that if Ash wins this it could've been expected then that if the trainer had a Entei or Raikou instead of Darkrai then Ash would've still won. This because the kind of pokemon (light/dark) that it was always the intention of the writers to let Ash win this.
Oh, and I'm going to fangasm if this Takuto has the aforementioned and Lucario! Along with Grovyle or something (not Sceptile) and that his reason for coming to Sinnoh was the appearance of Suicune there.. (it appeared in the Drifloon episode).
