I also just realized this does seem to be unfortunately confirm that Cinderace is no longer a walking Pokemon. (In case there were still some doubts.)
If it was still a walking Pokemon, then I'm certain it would be helping Ash, Gou, and Pikachu with... Whatever it is they're doing here instead of being inside it's Pokeball.
And I haven't seen a Mankey in a while so I'm glad to see one here

Yeah I'm glad there's no Spearrow here either. I find the species in general to be almost as annoying as Zubat if not just as much because they're so extremely common in Kanto and Johto centric games.

Can it even be considered the usual gag starter when we barely even see the thing?

Somewhat yes due to its crying making others cry.

Actually ever since it’s capture Sobble has appeared in every episode except for episode 44. It’s more of a case that we actually see a good amount of Sobble it’s just that they don’t over use it’s gag a lot.
Except that Crying gag is barely a thing anymore, I mean heck the last time we saw that gag was in episode 36. Sure it’s a trait that they use for comedy when it happens but it seems like they intend for Sobble to develop past that rather then it being a recurring gag that happens through the rest of the series.

If Goh is smart he will use Sobble to make Mewtwo cry and then land a critical hit

Ash vs Mandi, I'll never forget that battle.

Waiting to see how they do this. Sobble getting screen-time is of course good, but I wonder how they will treat Cinderace going forward. I am of course biased in favor of Cinderace, but will they go ahead and just drop his bond with Goh in favor of doing a similar Snipe-shot storyline with Sobble.
It's going to be jarring if Goh drops his partner and first pokemon the second it evolves, but given the fact that Cinderace appears in 48 perhaps he will still appear somewhat frequently.

Inteleon is a walking stick. Literally easier to animate than Cinderace.

Tho it's admittedly been quite some time since it's done that. I still have to wonder why the writers suddenly just... Dropped the gag?
True. Tho with as often as it goes invisible I sometimes forget it's there lol.
Even more unusual is that it seems to not cry in situations where you'd normally expect it to.
-Get overwhelmed by the Alola Gang overcrowding you? Don't Cry.
-Fall off a cliff in the Alola Episode? Don't Cry
-Get hit by Minccino's Doubleslap? Don't Cry
-Get attacked by Zamazenta (granted it was an illusion but they didn't know that)? Still Don't Cry.
At this point I'm watching Sobble in Episodes the same way I watched the Sequel Trilogy Star Wars movies. Expecting something only to have my expectations subverted XD

Oh don't get me wrong I do hope I'm wrong and Cinderace remains a walking Pokemon. (It's Lucario I'd rather not see outside it's Ball often)
Maybe if we're lucky this episode might just be a temporary thing since there's a LOT of Pokémon in this episode? I love the rabbit. But I'm just trying to mentally prepare myself in case the writers crush me.
Tho the fact that it's Gou's Ace (no pun intended lol) I'd expect to see it at least once per episode. So yeah it'll still show up frequently.
Plus they still gotta Showcase G-Max Cinderace so they're obviously not done with it yet)
And No way in hell are they dropping Gou bond with Cinderace lol. That'd be like dropping Ash's bond with Pikachu. Not happening

If I remember correctly, the creators of the series do not like to refer to movies very much (probably the only reference that appeared was the use of Cresselia's pen by Hikari, which she obtained in the full-length film), so there will be no references to M1 (except for Mewtwo, of course).

Maybe they want to really sell the idea Goh is a superb novice trainer.

So Go just became Spider Man.
Seriously though that's a pretty creative use for Caterpie
I thought the same the moment I saw the pic lol
Just don't bargain with mephisto and their kind, please.

Goh makes for an extremely cheap Miles Morales.

Can we please get the older, old forum back?
I guess you only care about Charizard, Sceptile, Infernape and Greninja? Maybe Snorlax and Krookodile?
Honestly, anybody who has seen the original run at the time will remember the little Krabby that beat an Exeggutor by a clutch victory.

I always thought that Kingler was badly injured in its last battle and couldn't be called upon anymore. Dunno why I thought that...
Well anyways, it's good to see Go getting creative with his Pokemon outside of battle. I'm a little sad we'll no longer have Go's fire buddy standing outside, I wish they'd use the more complicated to animate Pokemon a little more but I mean it's either have these complicated Pokemon designs outside a lot but deal with more animation errors or not see them as often and have less animation errors.

Considering that Mewtwo's return itself is meant to be a really big deal, I suspect that they'll sneak it several references to the movie that we haven't seen in the previews yet. I'm somewhat convinced that Gou bringing Jugon along with him is a vague reference to Sweet from the first movie, at least.
Even if Ash doesn't get Mewtwo in this episode, there's something that could assure his return in another episode, increasing the chances of Ash catching it. After the Darkest Day's arc, we were left with the possibility of Eternatus possibly escaping and breaking havok again. If that's the case, then Mewtwo could return to help Ash and Goh to stop it once more. Mewtwo has advantage in type, but I believe it could be really difficult for Mewtwo to fight Eternatus in its Eternamax form. Don't you think?

Too old for your rubbish..
Sorry, but there's zero way that any Mewtwo is going to be captured at all. It's too much of an artificially intelligent Pokemon to be crammed in a pokeball all the time. What's Ash going to do? Send it out, have a conversation with it and then return it to its ball after the battle, where it'll happily remain until the next battle?
No, this isn't a Squirtle we're talking about. It won't happen.. and ESPECIALLY not with this one.
