June 21st: PM2019 025 - A Battle Festival Exploding With Life! VS Mega Lucario!!

[AuraChannelerChris]

What? When did this happen?

Vividly remember right before they set out into the cave (and the Lucario utterly forgot about the fact aura powers are perhaps the best tools to track people down). While Korrina was using her Ash punching bag, Serena gingerly told her Fennekin they were going to be next, which, in hindsight, could have ended in accidental murder.

 

[WaterShuriken]

His rank will go down eventually. If he loses a non PWC battle there is not much consequence there.

Right. But I would rather it be in the next rank where the increase of challenge will be obvious.

Well Ash can leave the Normal Rank by Sunday's episode. If Korrina is already registered that can be his first Super Rank battle

 

[B Rabbit]

To be honest.

With a series like Pokemon, continuity is a battle you got to pick and choose. Ash bring in the pokeball class is fine, tbe new watchers want to see him grow. However, as old fans we all know he belongs in the Ultra Ball class.

So, Korrina is not a PWC contestant?

I wonder if this is an episode wherein Riolu would aspire to evolve in order to ME, and Ash will get his own Key Stone and a Lucarionite...

We don't know yet. If she is then the Rotom Drone should be in the VA list

Did Korrina's Lucario having any training in Aura at the time? It never showed experience with it like Gurkinn's Lucario had. The extent Korrina's Lucario worked on its Aura seemed to be learning Aura Sphere.

This could still be a PWC battle since all that needs to happen are two registered contestants and an officiation by a Rotom drone. We have one registered contestant that we know of. Now, let's see if Korrina is registered and Rotom drone appear.

It would be kind of funny if they had fun with how the Rotom Drone comes out.

I thought that the whole point of the rank system is that everyone has to start from the bottom and work their way up. If Satoshi had started higher [i.e. if his past accomplishments had amounted to anything in this competition] then his quest to face Dande in an official battle would happen a lot faster, and that's something that the writers probably want to avoid since there wouldn't be much anticipation if they settled things quickly.

Evolution equals mastery. If it learns Aura Sphere right away, it's pretty much a given.

 

[JoaquinLorie]

Not yet, they'd have snuck him in the preview if he was coming back soon. Maybe the next Kalos trip, assuming they're actually in Kalos here

I would say writers are not sneaking into past previews a lot of things so we can have surprises!

 

[Dephender]

The staff list is now available:

Screenplay 冨岡淳広 (Atsuhiro Tomioka)
Storyboard 尼野浩正 (Hiromasa Amano)
Episode Director 村田尚樹 (Naoki Murata)
Animation Director 岡昭彦 (Akihiko Oka)
Animation Director 高橋優 (Yuh Takahashi)
Animation Director 蒼依ふたば (Futaba Aoi)

 

[Pepsi_Plunge]

I'm hoping this is a two parter, its a festival so I'm hoping more than one fights happens (it could happen and be like the first tournament though), looking forward to Satoshi possibly getting a Lucarionite here.

 

[Egakor]

The staff list is now available:

Yay! Tomioka is in charge of this episode! This is going to be great!

 

[diakyu]

Tomioka doing the screenplay for a major XY character is great

 

[Power Up]

Please be a good battle

 

[DannyDiglett]

After Kukui's Lucario, I hoped we wouldn't see Lucario for a while. But no, the writers need to shove it down our throats again. Even Ash gets one as soon as Riolu has evolved. Don't get me wrong, I'm very positive about the fact this new series let old characters return. But why again has it to be a trainer with a Lucario? I know it's a popular Pokémon but this excess is just ridiculous imo.

[QUOTE = "thedarkdragon11, post: 18984383, członek: 380356"] Więc Korrina nie jest zawodniczką PWC?

Zastanawiam się, czy to jest odcinek, w którym Riolu dążyłby do ewolucji, aby MNIE, a Ash otrzyma swój własny Kamień Klucza i Lucarionitę ... [/ QUOTE]
I don't think Satoshi will gain access to Mega Evolution, the only chance is long gone.
Now it has the right to use only Dynamax and Gigantamax

 

[Remix2]

Tomioka writing it is a good sign but having three animation directors isn’t.
