July 23rd: PM2019 074 - Darkrai's Midsummer Night's Dream

[SerGoldenhandtheJust]

Under the Alolan Moon was a banger IMO. But yeah ever since BW the songs have been flops. Stand Tall had the potential but was too short even in the extended version and the full version of Be a Hero was whack.

Wait....Im pretty sure we never got a full version of Be a Hero from XY: Kalos Quests or am I tripping?
I dislike them reusing the classic pokemon theme in the first XY dub opening, really lazy esp as the original JP one is a banger
I liked Be a hero and Stand tall but they were too short to make me care, same with Under the alolan moon. I did like Stand Tall's full version though or maybe thats my bias for the Volcanion movie showing

We did and it’s actually on Spotify lol. I’d save your time though.

@cricketlaxwolvesbandy I’m sorry that song is bad at least in full version.

We have our first summary (sort of... it doesn't say anything the press release didn't) and the staff list:

Satoshi and Go learn that people in the Sinnoh region are unable to sleep due to nightmares, so they head there to research whether or not this is the work of Darkrai, a Pokémon with the ability to give others nightmares. Meanwhile Koharu has gone to the Sinnoh region on her own, and believe it or not, she encounters Satoshi's former travelmates Hikari and Pochama there.

Screenplay 土屋理敬 (Michihiro Tsuchiya)
Storyboard 齋藤徳明 (Noriaki Saito)
Episode Director 中田誠 (Makoto Nakata)
Animation Director 倉員千晶 (Chiaki Kurakazu)
Animation Director 新岡浩美 (Hiromi Niioka)
Animation Director 志村泉 (Izumi Shimura)

 

[mehmeh1]

huh, when was the last time Izumi Shimura worked on an episode without Iwane

 

[Evstike]

So my guess about Chiaki Kurakazu being on this episode was correct.

 

[Evstike]

They were credited in the staff list we got with the summary for JN069 but weren't credited in the actual episode. They worked on JN028.

So... Why is Dawn wearing a Pokétch if she upgraded to an Xtransceiver in BW? I hope it has new functions in the remakes because, if not, she would just go back to an old device for no reason.

Remake promotion, bro. Remake promotion

Because Unova data plans do not cover Sinnoh data plans.

Dawn doesn’t have the sakuragi research fund to get the newest iRotom 12.

 

[Eneci]

Really hope we see some of Dawn‘s other mons or at least a mention of her progress as a Coordinator. Would be cool if she would be doing a Coordinator PWC type of thing. And we see some of it later on closer to BDSP release.

Really excited to get her back.

PS I think Ash might find Lucarionite during these two eps

The trailer would have hyped Lucario already, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

 

[Red and Blue]

If anyone is giving Ash the Lucarionite I still think it will be Korrina or her grandfather

 

[Jangobadass]

Yeah...as hella ironic as it is, it looks like he's sitting this one out.

The weird part is that he'd be a good one to ho up against the Matori Matrix, but since Pikachu is in full God mode (both ways) this series...

 

[karanova-1]

Yeah I agree I think it will be korrina who will give ash Lucarionite but i hope that he gets the lucarionite the other way around though like he search for the key stone with himself with his lucario

 

[Jangobadass]

Though I'm not sure how Ash and Mega-Lucario would work when they really haven't bonded much (at least on screen)...

Girl couldn't even give him a Lucario. Can't surely give her a stone because she literally had to look around for hers (okay, so it was a secret test, but still).

Though I'm not sure how Ash and Mega-Lucario would work when they really haven't bonded much (at least on screen)...

At least it's fallen in love with Sirfetch'd for reasons unknown.

They have though, ESPECIALLY Ash and riolu, dont u remember how riolu evolved? Risking its life to save Ash.

 

[Sham]

Why was Dawn even given the Xtransciever? Did she even use that thing the whole time she was in Unova?

 

[Henry's Journey]

Chloe becoming an independent gurl! yay! She and Dawn gonna be bff.

On the other hand Ash & Go will have a mission on their own, this mini-arc looks interesting.
