November 20th: PM2019 046 - Battling & Getting! Mewtwo Comes Back

[DuquÊ?]

So by this logic it should be

Cinderace - Brazil
Mewtwo - Germany
Sobble - Brazil's fans

Pretty sure Brazil wished they could become invisible too by the time, mainly with all the work and money to build the arenas. I'm brazilian, but I have a dry disposition to soccer.

Very well. I'm almost convinced we'll have a third mewtwo here.

 

[Ultra Beast Lover]

Yeah I feel like they should give TR a break once in a while. I mean, sure their team was involved in making Mewtwo, but what can they really do or say? They weren't directly involved in making Mewtwo so Go attacking them for it won't mean much to it unless it directs its anger at them. Too bad it's not an X-23 thing where this Mewtwo is the clone of the first Mewtwo so it tries to attack that Mewtwo but it talks its clone down. Although, if it were to go after Mew... no, that wouldn't work, the Mew species as a whole is like a little kid that doesn't understand the scope of its power, the most mature one was in the first movie and even then it only tried to calm Mewtwo down in the dub, in the original it was essentially like, "We are the OG mons, we shan't be beaten by you! Real Pokemon, help me DESTROY THE FAKEMONS!"

Why is the EP45 title missing?

The TV guide listings these titles came from just had "Pocket Monsters" listed for TV Tokyo's November 13th 6:55pm slot, with no episode title listed.

The title is listing Ash and Goh's respective goals.

You could interpret it as that too I guess, but "battling and getting" is a phrase mostly associated with the Pokemon movies, where the World of Pokemon segment near the beginning almost always introduces Satoshi by saying he "battles and gets Pokemon".

Plus the video game "Battle & Get! Pokemon Typing" I guess.

 

[AuraChannelerChris]

Oh no. Ash is working on a computer? You all know how that went last time.

 

[Kawaii Emolga]

I wonder if they will go to Cerulean Cave this episode.
We don't even know if Mewtwo will appear physically in this episode (that scene on the trailer could be just a imagination image or something).

 

[Almighty Zard]

The one thing good about this episode is that goh will learn about mewtwo especially since it was cloned from mew which he wants to catch but catching it will be hard since his team doesn't know bug dark or ghost moves

Mewtwo nearly destroyed the world with it's psychic powers, type advantage is meaningless.

I actually don't mind if Mewtwo tells Gou more about Mew, but I don't expect it to be caught by either of them

 

[IrieFuse]

You know at first I was really excited by the thought of ash catching mewtwo, ESPECIALLY if it’s M01 mewtwo. But I can’t imagine ash commanind a Pokémon that speaks (telepathically) during a battle. Like.. idk I imagine there’s be dialogue between them during a battle and I feel that would disrupt the momentum or the flow of the battle. Who knows! The more I think about it the less I feel like this will actually be the scenario that will play out.

 

[WhoCares]

Joke detector is broken.

Seriously ?? First you add tbh in your statement and now expect me to treat it as a joke. That statement was in no way sarcastic.

If that were the case, they would have advertised mewtwo more.....but they didn’t and they aren’t doing it

Besides, it wouldn't be fun to have Mewtwo in the party. It's a powerful psychic type and wouldn't be opposed to using said power to mess with the bad guys' heads. They'd either have to make it the weakest Mewtwo in the world or make it curbstomp nearly everything.

 

[Yce288]

The "Getting" part doesnt mean Mewtwo will be captured.
remember the japanese name of the episode Party Dancecapades!?the japanese name of the episode was Satoshi and Serena! Catch One at the Dance Party!! and Ash and Serena didnt catch a Pokemon during the episode instead the "Catch" part meant for Serena's Eevee's evolution during the episode.

 

[Spider-Phoenix]

The way I see the "battling" and "getting" is just point to another Zapdos episode where Ash wants to battle Mewtwo #3 while Goh wants to get it.

 

[Deleted member 384931]

Well if it is another bait and switch. Do it different, use Gou and Satoshi to research legendary pokemon, learn about them, would be more interesting and it fit their goals.

Alternatively they could leave Mewtwo at Sakuragi Park for the remainder of the series [outside of important battle episodes], but that would probably ruin the whole point of Satoshi owning a Mewtwo if he isn't going to showcase it often. It's also hard for me to imagine Mewtwo hanging out at Sakuragi Park surrounded by so many common Pokemon.

I think I’ll try adding on to this: How are you supposed to constantly showcase something like Mewtwo. You can easily showcase Legendaries like the Bird Trio, Galarian Bird Trio, Urshifu line, Eon Duo, Beast Trio, and Heatran since they technically aren’t that powerful and have been confirmed to be numerous in numbers. But Mewtwo is basically... impossible to do so the anime and it’s unrealistic for it to be captured in the anime as well anyways.

If Dragonite or even Gengar defeats it so Ash can catch it, how is it this uber powerful Pokemon. It can be ss strong as they need it to be, and yes technically it would be the weakest Mewtwo, hence why it would be captured if it is.

Honestly with the series as it is, we are unlikely to see it much anyway regardless if its always with Ash or mostly at the lab.

Plus if they were crazy enough to give it to Ash, it can always be a last resort. Using it against Elite Four / Champions / other powerful legendaries just used in instances to give Ash an edge, then start giving other trainers legendaries as well. Like Leon capturing Eternatus for example, since I can't imagine them giving it to Ash or Go.

Give Bea Marshadow or the dark type Urshifu for example. Or even Buzzwole/Pheromosa even though they aren't legendary.

Also allow trainers like Giovanni, Archie/Maxie powerful trainers that would give Ash trouble with his other non Dragonite/Mewtwo Pokemon and that would even give Mewtwo problems, like a Tyranitar being an issue or even Metagross.

I'm fine with a Mewtwo that isn't overpowered and is used in last roles or special moments, it doesn't need to be overused. So it can be like Palpitoad but shows up a bit more (once every 10 episodes or so) and the occasional legendary battle. Plus it could be used for training Ash's other Pokemon.

We saw the sheer difference between Leon and Ash with g-max Centiskorch along with Leon potentially catching Eternatus it would make nice for a good potential full battle.

No, it wasn't, it was "Getting One at a Dance Party!!"

and Ash and Serena didnt catch a Pokemon during the episode instead the "Catch" part meant Serena's Eevee's evolution during the episode.

Serena got a Nymphia. There was no "catch" part of anything.

I have no idea what point you're trying to make here, but you should probably use better sources for finding out what the Japanese titles of episodes are.

The weakest Mewtwo entering like the strongest one. Mewtwo used "Copycat"!

 

[Pteranodonte]

Another bait title. Great.

My source was Bulbapedia, i'm sorry for being incorrect, but i think you understand my point, that "Get" doesnt necessarily mean a capture but it could also means an evolution, just like i said in said episode that Serena's Eevee evolved into Sylveon.
