October 22nd: PM2019 084 - The Lucarionite! Adventure on Mega Island!!

[karanova-1]

Finally, lucario mega evolution episode came looking forward to this episode

 

[cricketlaxwolvesbandy]

Last series Ash exclusively had:

A new variation of Lycanroc
A newly discovered Mythical Pokemon
An ultra beast
An exclusive Z-Move

Plus the special attention of an Island deity. When isn't it "fanfiction-y "

And yet they didn’t have him win Kalos and have him all this **** in Alola

Ash Greninja’s character arc is wasted man, but that’s a whole another story. We’ll tackle that when I watch and analyze XYZ like next summer

Idk saying wasted only for losing one time against someone that didnt even know ash until xyz is kinda overracting

 

[Gamzee Makara]

Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Every time.

 

[AuraChannelerChris]

And it only took 7 years for Ash to finally have some sort of interest in Mega Evolution.

...Long after everyone else (was forced to) moved on.

(Can't help but think this is OLM's way to make Ash avoid Dynamax like the plague.)

 

[Rune Knight]

This episode, or the ones preceding it may be why Korrina appears in the intro, as a nod to her appearing within this part of the saga.

Hopefully I am wrong, but this may indicate that the intro won't change even by then, making the current variant the longest in the series.

 

[Lord Godwin]

What if Ash gets Gengarite instead?

 

[Master Pikachu 11]

Since its called mega island, maybe we will get to see more mega evolutions... <3

We could if there are other trainers on that island, since most Megas need trainers with the exception of legendaries that is.

Charizard, Sceptile, Heracross and Glalie crying in Offscreenland.

Even Gengar.

Gengar is going to get to Gigantamax

Ash fans should be very happy. He's getting 2 focus episodes in a row (Alcreamie and now this), assuming that there's a Break between the 8th and the 22nd


Go is never mentioned in Ash centric episodes summaries. He'll be there, just sidelined like he usually is in these episodes

I don’t think it will be a break, but will be an episode where Korrina shows up and gives Ash the keystone.

I'm gonna be honest, I saw this coming, and I have no idea why people are so annoyed.
Like, I get Gengar is in serious need of focus, and I don't disagree, but Gengar's probably going to get focus in the future, especially considering Ashandserena's translation.
The only way I'll be disappointed is if Goh gets a mega.

Gengar will get focus in mastering its G-Max form in the future.

 

[Rune Knight]

If Ash is receiving his keystone in an episode prior to this one, then that could hint at two episodes set in Kalos. So hopefully, other XY characters beside Korrina could appear.

Perhaps Mega Island is a gold-mine for a variety of mega stones, and since we know that Alain is looking for his own Charizardnite I'm thinking that he could show up here. Perhaps he is the one who locates the island and contacts Ash to join him on an expedition knowing that he needs a Lucarionite for himself.

This is so out of place. About halfway into the series (probably), they decided to give Ash a mechanic that has been featured since 2013 and is not part of the games for a few years. What are they trying to do with it? Why only now?

My thought is that the franchise is popular enough so the anime doesn't need to act as some giant commercial for the games anymore, allowing it to do its own thing.

I guess that they want to bring Lucario to its maximum potential and have it as its best when it goes up against Bea.

I am hoping that Bea will utilize a G.Max Machamp against Ash's Lucario since in my opinion I feel like Grapploct wouldn't be much of a challenge for it anymore; giving us a G.Max vs. Mega battle of the gimmicks like SM did with Brock and Misty.

Because they have more freedom now than they did back in 2013? There's no other explanation. Back then they were on a tight schedule to prioritise the current generation. PM2019 is relatively lenient in that department.

Idk how to feel about Satoshi getting all these power-ups at once.

 

[NeoDude-5000]

Yay! Ash is finally going to use Mega Evolution. And Ash-Greninja's Battle Bond doesn't count. Similar but not the same.

Clemont's father, Diantha or Sycamore would be welcome even in such episodes.

It would make sense

Imagine being a kid watching this, wanting a Mega Lucario only to discover it's literally impossible in the most recent games. Unless BDSP is hiding something they're not telling us

That sucks indeed, same with Z-moves

 

[Blood Red]

It took hundreds of episodes, two generations of anime and the removal of Mega Evolution from the main series, but Ash finally has his own Mega! I wonder if this'll give Lucario enough of a power-up to dethrone Dragonite as Ash's most powerful Pokémon (hopefully without fodderizing Dragonite to make Lucario look more impressive).

Hmm good question
