If they do give Ash Slowking it could be the ambassador of Sakuragi Lab. Given how intelligent it is it could find ways to prevent future riots like the food shortage

The 2 things are not even comparable. What this is isn’t a matter of plotting out the course of how the series is, it is basically changing the way that episodes are presented from a singular 22 minute format to 2 11 minute unrelated segments 26 episodes into a series. It’s not just something that sticks out from the format of the entire anime as a whole but from the very season of the anime that the episode belongs to. If you’re going to pick a time to try to change a format, the beginning of the new series is the time to do it, not over half a year into it. At least then it doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb and raise the question of why they suddenly are doing an 11 minute segment as opposed to an actual episode.

Easygoing Luxray.
And we all had to wait over 1100 episodes for this to happen.

Am I the only one who actually enjoyed the magikarp jump game?
It was cute
I did, I wish they implemented the different colours in the main game, so yeah I think the Magikarp part has potential to be funny, Slowking lets see how it goes, its cool that a Slowking appears instead of a Slowbro.

I'd be more excited for this episode if this aired AFTER the Sobble episode, but whatever, I guess maybe Sobble being captured might imply that it'll get heavily featured in the following episodes, so this episode wouldn't have worked.....IDK......

Considering all of the other episodes are kind of predictable that's the episode I'm most excited about.

I very much agree with this. It's always those two. There are so many other Pokémon that derserve some attention in the anime. I think about the aforementioned Feebas but also species like Goldeen/Seaking, Finneon/Lumineon, and non-fish species like Shuckle, Cherubi/Cherrim, Bronzor/Bronzong, Maractus etc.
We'll have to deal with Magikarp again. I am happy with Slowking though. Long time no see!

I'd be frustrated if they did, nothing against Slowking but more the fact his capture didn't even get a whole episode dedicated to it!
They can pull that crap with the guy whose captures don't mean squat, but not Ash.

Slowking doesn't fit ash at all
Its very very slow

It could work, I'd just prefer Slowking get a whole episode so we can get to know it. Seeing how Gengar was the only one so far to get any action not long after his debut, and based on what we know of future episodes Slowking would just be sitting at the lab for awhile

I know Iwane has said that working on the Shin'ou League was a super special time that he'll never forget. I'm not surprised, he was basically the only good animator on Diamond & Pearl outside of the occasional cool scene from Tamagawa Akihiro, and then the entire production shifted around--affecting the schedule for quite a while:
It wasn't until Best Wishes #13 and #18 that Iwane was able to re-enter the production schedule rotation because of how much of the end of DP he did himself.
They basically changed how the series worked. Long battles with a hypnoic repetition of animation ala Shin Seiki Evangelion mixed with high-quality original animation. The series had never done that up to that point. Full-on extended arcs with nary a traditional 'unimportant' episode? Already a change to the format.
This episode could be two plots intertwined into one full episode or it could just be those plots played straight, without unnecessary cutting back-and-forth. Why in the hell are you afraid of something new after twenty-three years of the same thing?

Because fans don't like change.
Ironically, they will also complain about the lack of change. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Let's see how good they do it. My guess is that it's going to be pretty good, specially since they are cramming two potential boring episodes into 1.
This episode will probably be really fun.
Ignition
We are so back Zygardebros
Honestly I don’t care for this episode as it sounds boring. But the other 3 have potential so I’ll just skip this one.

I just ran, I ran all Night and Day ~
It's a meeting mixed bag for me.
On one hand, I'm tired of Magikarp/Gyarados since we see it so often and I don't particularly care about Slowpoke/Slowking
But on the other hand, this show has Succeeded my expectations so far that I still will probably find the episode enjoyable regardless. Plus I'm curious to see what happens with Ash.
Plus even if it turns out to be bad worse case scenario is it'll just be harmless and boring anyways

It's less how fans don't like change and more how things are bad either way because of how weird the changes are.
The Sunday death slot change is polarizing as is.

"The Sunday death slot"
Please. What a ridiculous phrase.
Y'all acting like the anime is on its death bed for, what, 3rd time?
I remember when this anime was going to die back in the time of BW because it was so atrocious. Or was it SM when the anime was going to die because THE RATINGS WERE SO LOW COMPARED TO XY? Maybe third time is the charm? (Of course not, only a moron would think that lmao)
