March Plots Discussion

[Coronis]

Ok, Netun still hasn't been updated, but on our dear old Japanese PokeSpecial forum page (which was unfortunately spammed heavily and scared lots of members away from earlier), someone managed to get hold of the copies already, and have posted a short summary of each saga.


BF:
Emerald begins explaining about Jirachi to the Brains, and as many have predicted, the 7 days Jirachi awakens do coincide with the 7 days between the Battle Frontier opening ceremony and its official opening to outside challenges (i.e. this 1 week period when Emerald is doing challenges).

Emerald's aim at the Frontier is apparently to capture Jirachi, and he just challenges the facilities for two birds in one stone since he loves battling. After explanation, he heads to the Artisan's Cave where lots of Smeargles reside, and the Brain tag along to watch him.

Emerald for some reason takes out a Timer Ball, but just as he's about to use it, the Armour Man appears.


FRLG:
And so Red and Mewtwo chases after Giovanni. The real reason Green traded Red Charizard is to let him have a means of flying since Aerodactyl was injured.

At Viridian, it is revealed that the reason why Silver would come back to the city to learn about his past is that back in GSC, when Blue teleported him away from the Indigo Plateau, she sent him to Viridian, and Silver felt something familiar while arriving there.

From Yellow, Silver learns that the Viridian Gymleader is also the leader of Team Rocket, and is determined to find out what relationship they share. Just then, TR's helicopter arrives, and Storc and Oca are ordered by Giovanni to bring Silver to him. But Silver demands that Giovanni come meet him in person, and begins to challenge Oca and Storc.


RSE:
After Rayquaza arrives, some tentacles suddenly extend out from the Cave of Origin to grab Courtney. The Cave then collapses, locking Courtney inside. Using her final strength, Courtney expels the Orb from her body, and tells Ruby what she learnt about Norman and Rayquaza at the Mossdeep Space Center by her Memory Firelighter. Somehow, it turns out that Courtney used to take place in contests as well, and was an acquaintance of Daisy (Green's sister).

about time that another kanto reference is known to houen manga =p

its nice to hear that silver is getting to battle and he always dont want henchment to bring him over - instead its great that he want them to bring GIovanni over to his old Gym

What was these tentacles stuff ? Could it be MILOTIC?

 

[Shadowcat]

So... Courtney's gonna' die?

Anyways, this makes the plot much more interesting... Really interesting... So that's why Green traded with Red...

 

[Alfonso]

Still no Roxanne I see.

-_-

 

[Coronis]

Don't really think the writers are killing her off, probably just to make the plot a bit more dramatic at this spot, as we all seem to be rooting for the theory that she is the long lost elder sister of Ruby.

For Roxanne, and perhaps all the other gymleaders except Wallace (who's technically the Champion now), I'm afraid the upcoming few issues won't focus on them for a while. My guess is they'll be mentioned of again in the reconstruction of Hoenn or something, or hopefully they'll somehow take part in this final battle as well by sending their pokemon strengths over or whatever, something like they did in the ending of the Yellow series.

Tentacles from the cave of orgin? Could it be grass-pokemons whinewhip? Or is it a tentacruel? Gosh, WHAT IS IT!?!?!

Emerald for some reason takes out a Timer Ball, but just as he's about to use it, the Armour Man appears.

Coronis~

For some reason? Timer ball is better the longer battle goes, so he would maybe battle it for the whole week until it wakes up

 

[Lupin]

Well, it will be interesting to see Silver battling again. Although, there doesn't appear to be any sign of Gold yet does there. He's the only one who hasn't appeared yet.

Yeah, the last we heard of Gold was that he was training with Red on Mount Silver(how ironic with the name), so Red might know something about where he is.

 

[JazzJazz]

Good to hear some sort of reference to a contest again... here's hoping that Ruby and Sapphire get back to their "main" goals once all this chaotic stuff has been sorted out.

 

[Masumi]

Aw....too bad the gymleaders won't be up a lot...But I'm curious how Rayquaza will hold against Kyroge and Groudon...

 

[Eefi]

is it okay if i bring something i said in the febuary thread: *points down*

but here is what i predict: Ruby, Sapphire, and Wally would fight the titans with their Swampert, Blaziken, and Sceptile. I think that's true because of what i said eariler about seeing the heros with their final stage pokemon in Netkun, and other things, got me thinking about that.

~~~~

and i have another question: what happen to wallace, winona, gaby, and ty while ruby and sapphire are gone? Wallace obviously is with steven on the registeel, but what about the other three? what happen to them????

and i am interested if Mimi would return becuase i think it would be useful by now!!! ^_^

 

[Coronis]

Gabby and Ty were last seen hopping off on Absol while Winona is knocked consciousness on her Altaria, who is still conscious. So I guess perhaps Wallace told Altaria to fly Winona off to safety? Absol, Gabby and Ty I have no idea. I wanted to say they went off for safety as well, but Absol is said to be the representative of nature and would watch til the end of the battle, so... not sure on that

For Gold, I'm really surprised that he still hasn't been mentioned of either (in fact, on a sad note, it is the reason why this poster on the Japanese forums said this will be the last month he's following PokeSpecial, being a Gold fan and all).

On another note again, not sure if I've brought this discussion up before, but as vol.21 changed the '7 year ago' thingy to 5 years, the chronological order of all the series is subjected to change again.

The only reference RSE has with the previous ones is that one flashback scene during Sapphire's childhood where she said a boy in Kanto has just earned the Champion title of the Pokemon League, which means RSE takes place 5 years after that.

A while ago, we've concluded that FRLG takes place between GSC and RSE, but right now it suggests that the two could take place around the same time (which is logical since the games seem to suggest this theory). One problem though, if RSE and FRLG indeed take place simultaneously, why aren't Lannette and Bridgette affected when Bill contacted them?

[~*Myuu the Ryuu*~]

Coronis~

this may seem reckless, but remember in the cave of origin there are rubies and sapphires in the walls? the ruby and the sapphire in FR/LG control the Hoenn climate, and kyogre and groudon control the climate too! so i think the ruby and the sapphire were created by kyogre and groudon. then TR stole them, and so on.

in short: maybe the FR/LG saga took place after R/S/E saga. even before the kyogre/groudon battle Hoenn was in a really bad state because of the earthquakes and stuff.

 

[RED1992]

Here's what I think: FRLG takes place before RSE, because that's when they first figured out Pokemon exist outside of J&K regions. In RSE, Prof. Oak had a special pokedex specifically for hoenn ones(and the few kanto and Johto ones that live there.) Therefore, it goes like this: RBG-Yellow-GSC-FRLG-RSE-BF

 

[GladiariaAlata]

I'm also interested in the whereabouts of Nagi-chan (i.e. Winona, I'm TOO used to Jap names)...But it's more because I wanna know what in the world had happened between her and Mikuri (Wallace)...There's simply too many unsolved Gym Leaders mysteries!

I blinked at the change in years, but I'm gonna put my money on 5 years. I doubt Ruby/Sapphire would remember THAT much about each other if they met when they were just 3...

 

[Coronis]

Netkun's finally updated and the March teaser translations are up. The Lapras in the first pic apparently belongs to Spenser. But can anyone make out what are those wing like things riding on Lapras?

So Sudowoodo and somehow the Dusclops from the Battle Pike were in the Artisan's Cave as well. Sudowoodo I can understand. Wonder why Dusclops could escape from the Pike.

Remember the secret project thingy I mentioned in the updates last month which could hint towards a new series that would possibly be revealed in the Yamamoto autograph session at the World Whobby Fair? Well, apparently it was not mentioned back then, but Yamamoto says it's in progress, and will release the first info about it in the coming month's update.

Finally, as with every year, each series will be upgraded to a higher grade magazine in the coming month, which means:
Battle Frontier (from Grade 3 to Grade 4)
FRLG (from Grade 4 to Grade 5)
RSE (from Grade 5 to Grade 6)



Coronis~

Edit: Changed Noland back to Spenser in the first paragraph

 

[Blaziken master]

It looks like in the battle, Silver uses gyarados while Yellow uses her pikachu and the two rockets use jumpluff and bannette

 

[kyle_andrew]

emeralds getting a bit interesting were starting to find out why he went to the frontier.ruby and sapphire's really good at the moment too.i think the winged thing's are a part of milotic's fin.

Coronis~

So... the FRLG sagas are not going at the same time of the RSE sagas? Oh man i'm getting confused.

Well one year passed when Red started his journey and he won the Pokémon League right? So the cronolical difference between the RSE and FRLG sagas might be one year.

Well if Lannette and Bridgette are not affected then i think that what i wrote before was correct, the FRLG sagas might be one year after the RSE sagas...

Edit: The Double Battle didn't surprised me, if it means about Silver... yeah, the thing that is kind of surprising me is that more Hoenn Pokémon are appearing in Kanto... but... are there going to be cameos of the 4th Gen. Pokémon?

 

[RED1992]

How come Yellow has her hat back on? I thought she ditched it after MOI(Mask of Ice) arc.
