Missing:

I believe Nando was planning on going to the Hearthome Gym, so maybe he'll reappear there. Extra Fantina screentime, I suppose.
 
Nando will turn up eventually, keep at it, you may see him in the Pokemon Summer School Arc.

As for the GS Ball, well an interview confirmed that it is with Kurt, and will not be seen again. He said Celebi was going to be in the Johto plot, but it was used for the movie instead. The writers figured everyone would forget the GS ball. Celebi is in it too.
 
i like how you made this thread!
just because hes not here right now doesnt mean hes completley gone. he will cme back, because he is a rival of both dawn and ash. the writers wouldnt make time to make such a unique and interesting character, to just forget about him after one ribbon and one badge
we will see more of him in contests coming ahead, where we will see his current badge and ribbon count which should get higher and higher each time.
I also think that he will give ash advice about gyms that he has faced and that6 ash has not faced. example - "The gym leader in snowpoint specializes in ice pokemon" Than ash trains his monferno like crazy. In mid battle with Candice, Monferno evolves! That was just a fun scenario i made up, but I can see Nando somehow giving Ash advice with gyms, or tell Ash where the next gym is or something.
 
I like Nando, though I hope he gets something that is not weak to Fire.
 
I'm guessing the guy just vanished. Maybe he got sucked into a portal of another dimension.

Nando's had more appearences than Kenny.

Nando has 3 appearences and Kenny only has 2


Nando(3 episodes, 3 appearences):
1. The episode where they met him..Ash and Dawn both battled him
2. The adamant orb episode where he was accused of stealing it
3. The contest that started Dawn's losing streak

Kenny(4 episodes, 2 appearences):
1. Episode where they met him..he baatlled Ash. Then he battles Dawn in the next episode and loses
2. The unown episode that Aipom evolves in, then he loses the contest in the next episode to Jessie.


Kenny isn't any better off really....the only contest rival thats getting a ton of screentime is Zoey. I think we will see Kenny and Nando a lot in the future though
Click to expand...

I think it goes
1. The Unown episode, where he battles Ash and promises to teach Turtwig Energy Ball
2. The Solaceon contest was next, where he lost to Jessie.

But it doesn't really matter. Same basic principal. It just feels like Nando has had a longer absence, and he has, seeing as we just saw Kenny in the dubbed version, which means it's been AGES in the Japanese episodes. I would like to see him return sometime very soon, I mean, the next contest Dawn participates in.

right so someone explain to me (I am slow in the head) the entire thing that went doqwn with the GS ball as i stopped watching the anime for years and last time i watched the anime they had just dropped it off with whatever that women was called.
 
wow i find it weird how everyone likes nando and i think that he is probabily the worst rival other than harley to have been made
