Pocket Monsters (2019) Speculation Thread

I still believe Ash will catch Grookey which will evolve into Rillaboom.

I found out just now that Trevor had a Florges and Aerodactyl. For some reason I forgot about them and only remembered him having a Charizard that Mega evolved when he battled Alain. That shows how forgettable the poor guy was.

If I remember right, they were swiftly defeated by Lizardon and only Florges got a chance to showcase an attack before being promptly beaten. Trova got the short end of the stick considering who he was up against.

You know based on the intro scenes, I’ll lean towards Aerodactyl joining Go’s team since Gengar was battling Sobble and Raboot. So even though Go has many a more Pokémon he could have on his squad, the ending scene has him with Raboot, Sobble, Heracross, Scyther and Rad Fly(Flygon). Meanwhile Ash is with Pikachu, Dragonite, Gengar, Riolu and Farfetch’d. All of his Pokémon that are currently on hand and he’s using for battle purposes. And we know that the merch hinted that not only Riolu and Farfetch’d ‘s evolutions are on the horizon, but another capture for Ash could be happening soon. For argument sake, say my theory about that Ludicolo and those Marshtomp leads to Ash catching a Swampert. Maybe that ending scene leads to some changes and if Ash gets a new Pokémon, they’ll add one of more Go’s more prominent members to the ending for symmetry sake.

Grookey anime debut soon

Where did you get this photo

 

[Umbilical Noose]

I'd be okay with that. Since Raboot and Sobble seem to be showcased pretty well as Gou's walking Pokemon, I don't have a problem with him catching Grookey. My biggest concern was them getting dumped off at the Lab but if that's not the case then it's not so bad.

Are you really okay with Raboot just standing there making faces? I suppose it is better than staying at the lab but it isn't much.

Grookey anime debut soon?

Assuming Ash and Go are also in the picture the only question is which boy is Grookey next to

 

[Deleted member 384931]

Not this again. Unless we get an episode title, I am not being it

 

[Zoruagible]

I hope Ash doesn't, the Grass starter is the one that needs to stay off his team.
He only ever owned one non-starter Grass type, Leavanny. So there are plenty of Pokemon out there that he could get instead like Breloom, Tropius, Phantump(RIP), Gogoat, Flapple/Appletun, and Zarude
Sobble's the one that should be on his team, the only Water out there is basically Piplup -_-

Well... Grookey is next to Sobble and it seems to be the end of the page, so if the boys are on there, its on Goh's side.

Look, Ash having Grookey will not stop him from getting other Grass Types like Gogoat etc

Grookey anime debut soon?

Given the fact that it's right next to Sobble's tail seems to indicate Grookey may be Gou's. Tho it's worth noting that they do seem to facing different directions so there's that. I wonder where Raboot is located on this picture

Unless it's just another run of the mill generic poster featuring all 3 Starters

But if Grookey is indeed showing up soon then I question why it wasn't in the recent opening theme which was otherwise jam packed with spoilers?

I want to be optimistic and hope that this is a sign of Sarunori's anime debut, but considering that it's received merchandise and appeared on posters since as far back as this series first premiered, I'm not sure if this is really evidence of its upcoming appearance.

Looking forward seeing Goh get it lol

We'll know for sure if the full version of that image shows Raboot (or Cinderace)

If it's just Scorbunny then it probably means nothing

Guys that artwork has been around since July and and it was paired up with the other two starters because that's just the way Nintendo operates.

 

[Pteranodonte]

What new moves do you think Galarian Farfetch'd will learn

Well, I hope it reveals something like Dual Wingbeat to beat Hawlucha, and maybe a fighting move like Brick Break. For his final moveset I'd like to see Meteor Assault, Brave Bird, Solar Blade/Leaf Blade and maybe First Impression to catch Psychic types by surprise. Poison Jab would be nice too for Faeries.

 

[desdar300]

So after I went over to Bulbapedia and did some research on go as a character I think it makes a lot of sense why go got both Raboot and Sobble.
Go is incredibly passionate about his goal of catching Pokemon as well as his actual name literally meaning to move from one place to another resonates pretty well with the ace line who's obsessed at honing their craft of Kicking and running around like actual football players.
I think Sobble and by extension Drizzle represent his intelligence but also introverted nature.
It's kind of cool that he's kind of dealing with Pokemon reflections of himself

You mean looking forward for Ash to get it
