November 25th: PM2019 133 - Project Mew

[Kazuniya]

Now that Project Mew is coming to an end, I keep wishing Jessie was somehow involved in the story.

The anime could have acknowledged her mom, Miyamoto, and what happened when she went looking for Mew, and even made Jessie part of Project Mew under a disguise, and Jessie's driving motivation would have been to find out about her mom. It would've probably been too heavy of a storyline for Journeys and Team Rocket, I guess, but it would've been nice to give Team Rocket some sort of active goal to shoot towards. I guess ultimately I just wish Team Rocket got more to do in this series, lol.

Though the storyline would've probably taken away from Goh, since this Mew story is supposed to be about him, after all.

Summary and incomplete voice cast

Did they put Ash in the list for that one episode he didn't appear in, or for Goh during the eps where he didn't appear in Ash vs Leon?

Ash and Pikachu weren't listed for that Goh/Horace episode, and Goh wasn't listed for Ash vs Leon (except part 1 where he did have a speaking role).

That seems very unlikely. Journeys had more weeks off than any series, and there's no way it was wanted for the SV anime (If there is one) to not be ready in tandem with the games.

We don’t know what OLM, TVTokyo, or TPC have or had planned or how those changed due to COVID. We can’t just assume that they intended to keep the normal pattern when we still don’t have any official indication of a Gen9 anime.

....Anyways surely the constant gaps, multiple recaps and complaints about not having enough resources to keep the show going smoothly clearly indicates this was all planned. Right.

I…didn’t exactly say that.

I just said that we can’t assume that things would have always happened the way they happened if these other factors weren’t an issue.

I didn’t say you said that, I’m commenting on you implying that this being planned could’ve been a possibility and if it was that sure is interesting.

If Goh manages to catch Mew, it’s gonna break the whole internet.

Well I expect it to happen since his goal of catching Mew is tied to Ash taking on and beating Leon. It started to become that very clear when they stopped Goh from catching anymore Pokémon. His last capture was Regieleki and he didn’t catch anything since then.

 

[Dephender]

and Goh wasn't listed for Ash vs Leon (except part 1 where he did have a speaking role).

Those are the updated voice cast lists I edited in after the episode aired. All four episodes had "Rica Matsumoto as Satoshi, Daiki Yamashita as Go and Ikue Ohtani as Pikachu" listed as their initial voice cast (as did PM2019 102, where neither of them appear).

 

[Kazuniya]

We got a special Project Mew trailer.

 

[Dragonsoldier77]

Dafuq, random groudon and kyogre?

 

[Tabasco Boshi]

Nickit/Galarian Meowth episode vibes, they have to show as many Pokémon as possible because they're running out of time. What a great series.

 

[cricketlaxwolvesbandy]

Goh is catching Mew. This series (JN) is over.

 

[SerGoldenhandtheJust]

Groudon and Kyogre are obviously Mew imo similar to how it impersonated Lugia
Project Mew looks hype asf!! Although again, I can't help but feel it's too rushed with just 2 potential episodes
Either way, hope it's still hype asf tho and paced properly, don't see Goh catching New but rather finding a new research goal at the end of it

 

[Dragonsoldier77]

So does that mean the giant regigigas didn’t mean anything in the end?

Since now the hurdle seems to be kyogre and groundon who both randomly are in the caves of this one island.

Yeah Regiggas seems to have just been a reference to Crown Tundra and what happens when you gather all 5 Regis
Kinda lame though there's no point to the Regis
Project Mew needed more episodes to include more relevant stuff such as this

LOL Mew will impersonate a bunch of legendaries XD

There is nowhere an implication that PM is a two parter lol. Correct me if the narrator in the trailer said otherwise. + the summary of JN134 implies heavily that the episode is not conclusive to PM.

It's just me assuming because I don't see why ep135 would be a direct reference to the OS001, right down to the way it's written, if it wasn't atleast the last episode of JN

Goh and Ash are dual protagonists. Ash chose his pokemon while Goh met Mew. This is a callback to Ash's first episode "I choose you" but in other sense, namely it refers to the other protagonist Goh, who met Mew when he was still a little child. (Surely my theory)

+ I can't remember that we seen a trailer for a two parter. Did that ever happen?
