Ugh...I'm not one to complain...but I will this time. Seriously, why only three episodes again? This had better have an interesting twist in order for it not to be a rehash of the previous Grand Festival...if Drew one, then that would just be a whole lotta wasted effort. Although, we haven't seen Drew in a contest yet, so I suppose if he shows some new skills that would be cool.
 

CyberCubed

Yeah, ok!
The "final battle" bit seems to imply that she loses, because if she beat Drew, wouldn't she go on to face another opponent?

Looks like Drew might beat May again, and this time maybe even take home the Ribbon Cup since there should be nothing stopping him from winning the entire thing this time.

Maybe the 'final battle' implies the final battle May and Drew will ever have...I really hope it's that.

Then again, to be honest, I can't think of anything else that this festival will throw at us.
 

CyberCubed

Yeah, ok!

unless the "final battle" puts May in 2nd place, and Drew takes 1st.

May would need to have 4-5 battles before Drew in order for this to be the final battle of the entire tournament.

I think this match will be for the Top 8 again, and May will only have 3 battles like last time. I don't see her battling 4-5 opponents in only 3 episodes.

So if May loses here, she's going to come in the Top 8 again.

So I guess that rules out my hopes of there being any real focus on any other opponents Haruka will be facing this time around, eh? Oh, poo.

If this is indeed 'the final battle', I'd like to know where on Earth Robert went off to. Shuu's a kickass coordinator and all, but I really wouldn't expect him to be going up against a top-class opponent like Robbie Refined and taking a win. At least, not at this point anyway. I guess they decided to shaft him this time around~

Either way, if this turns out to progress in the exact same way as the previous Festival, that just sucks. Hopefully they shake it up with a little more drama than usual this time around.
Like, have Shuu confess his undying love for Haruka............'s Squirtle or something. Jealousy and angst shall surely ensue.

Lame. Huge build up of the Harley/May rivalry only to have it take a backseat to Shuu/May once again. Shuu didn't even DO anything decent this series, yet he pops up at the end to grab the glory?

Final Battle, to me, suggests just that. It's the Final Battle of the tournement, the Final Round and decider of the Grand Festival winner. They'll probably fit the other battles as short ones, or skip some rounds like in the Houen League.
 

CyberCubed

Yeah, ok!
:D Since Robert became a Top Coordinator last time, Drew might very well become a Top Coordinator in this festival.

The D/P region then, would essentially be May trying to become a Top coordinator and taking the title away from Drew.

Shame that the set-up is pretty much exactly the same as last time, but the character interactions will be very different I hope, as well as the battles.
 

Thriller

Its almost time
Robert won the Hoenn GF, maybe he retired.

If Drew does win this GF, he isn't going to deserve it. He wasn't shown in any contest.

Oh well, maybe by sheer luck May's Bulbasaur will evolve two times and still gets frozen away by Masquirains Ice Beam, thus making this a complete clone of the first GF.
 
Is this comfirmed as the Last Grand Festival Episode? Or did you assume since its called 'The Final Battle'?

But I think she wins, then loses to her next opponent. Since we all know character's don't change their dreams ('cept Max) so that means if she loses she'll have to go on to D/P doing contests o_o; That'll be odd and slightly annoying, they could of cut off May's contests here by letting her win and then make her do something new in D/P. But then again since Ash has never won a league there will be a huge uproar is May wins and sinec Ash hasn't, unless he wins some special BF won, but we're use to Ash going round fighting gyms but first contests where fresh and fun, they still are. But I can't see D/P producing some overly awesome new contests ideas.

However if May wins it wil show the writers aren't afraid to let our heroes win their dream tournaments.

EDIT: I wonder which Pokemon will evolve this time? *shot*

Probably not.

Harley: Haarii totemo HATE YOU >:0

Shuu: *flicks hair and makes smug comment to Harley/May*

May: *thrusts chest into the screen and generally acts cute*

Yup, pretty much the same as last time. :p

Perhaps there's only a small number of people entering the GF, and there won't be as many qualification rounds.

So figure maybe one qualification round of appeals (single or double). Then a round of battle (with a filler character). Then the next round in the next episode with Harley...perhaps finish the first battle too. Then in the next episode, is the battle against Drew.

May loses, becomes Top 4, and Drew wins.

Drew, IMO, is like Robert. He didn't do much in Hoenn either, and he ended up winning the GF there. Maybe Drew will follow suit (pardon the pun).

Thats true, in Hoenn we saw Robert win one contest, but we've seen Drew enter none this time. Maybe they are setting Drew up for a Robert this time round...I never really thought of it that way this time...

Stalker!
*sighs at the lack of Robert and Wakana and the apparent rehash of the first GF*

Well, Kanemaru's website says that Harley will be in this part too, though he lost to Haruka in the last episode. It makes me wonder what he could possibly be doing...

Whatever happens... I just hope Haruka doesn't win the whole thing. Shuu would be okay, but Haruka winning would be very unbelievable.
 
I predict that we shall be able to blame May's defeat on Drew's *MAGICAL MYSTERY POKEMON*. It shall be a double battle, duh. And Flygon shall be the other Pokemon, because Flygon needs to own Squirtle properly. The few time Drew has appeared, he's been disarmingly smug, as if he KNOWS he'll win. Probably because his *MAGICAL MYSTERY POKEMON* is so god-like, most opponents will yield instantly.
List of current MMP candidates:
Milotic
Espeon
Arcanine
Wigglytuff(I wish)
Missingno
Mewtwo
Pikablu (Now I've gone too far)
Pandough(HAHAHAHAHAHA!)
Any more suggestions for MMP would be greatly appreciated.

Izit cuz I is black?
Hhmm... interesting. Drew VS May- could go either way, but I hope it's close unlike last time. Maybe Flygon goes down to Combusken, but the MMP cleans up.

Ninetales is in the running for sure, but it better not be Arcanine, or i'll scream. That thing has way to much screentime >_>
