Pocket Monsters (2019) Speculation Thread

[Rune Knight]

Another theory is that Rose supposedly killed Bea and dressed like her in order to get revenge on Ash.

Since Goh already caught two Pokémon own by past companions can't imagine that's the reason they didn't have him catch a Pansage.

Two Pokemon Owned by Past companions
Brock - Geodude, Pineco
Misty - Goldeen, Poliwag
Tracey - Scyther, Venonat
May - Wurmple
Clemont - Bunnelby

And then he also owns Pokemon that were owned by Team Rocket with Ekans, Koffing and Dustox

As well as owned by Ash himself
Fletchling
Boldore
Krabby
Sandile
Butterfree
Male Heracross (They easily could have gone female just like with Pikachu)
Pikachu
Taillow

Can't count Pidgey and Mankey until they have evolved.

Interesting to note is that none of the Kanto mons Ash currently owns is in the possesion of Goh, since his Krabby hasn't evolved yet, while his Pikachu has.

So yes, i doubt them giving Goh Pansage has something to do with Cilan, i think it has something to do with Grookey instead, since he already had a Grass monkey with him.

Fixed it

Ash might capture it as Slowpoke...

Well I'm sitting here in this state of mind regarding upcoming captures for Ash.
Ttar- I maintain that this is still likely Imo since the species doesn't really have a definitive trainer in the franchise as a whole and its Rivals with Raihan's Ace.
Tox- Lucario of the Galar region and would be his second electric type.
Empoleon- it would complete his Generation 4 starter set and be the first time he's ever owned all fully evolved starters from a given generation.
Urishifu- if the Isle of armor happens I can see the Ash getting a cub of his own.
Corvanight- aside from inteleon it's the most popular of the generation 8 Pokemon in Japan. ( also it's incredibly popular in the competitive scene)

I'd actually really like to see Ash get a Galarian Slowking

I want Galarian Slowbro

G.Fetch'd already evolve into Sirfetch'd so Ash currently does not has regional variant, does he?

 

[Decidueye23]

I wonder if a rank down is coming to ash. Or more battles. I am guessing a few new captures also wouldnt hurt. I dont mind if dragonite sits of matches for a while.

Are we just to assume Dragonite lost hurricane for draco meteor? Do you think he might have forgotten another move? I really like hurricane and I think it would be a shame for it to be ridden of.

God that is cursed. Chairman Rose has now got the slimmest of masculine waists.

Hmm. It says that some characters wont be touched until the end of JN.

I don't think they will get rid of Hurricane as it is useful move. Hyper Beam on the other hand is shown to be useless.

 

[IcySealeo]

Since Journeys is through all regions, I figured that this is a great chance to give another focus episodes for Pokemon that didn't appear in a LONG time (and weridly enough their "region" is what stopped them from doing that before?)
Think of Spiritomb, Cacturne, Togetic, Forretress, Many Unova Pokemon (Volcarona/Larvesta, Gigalith, Munna/Musharna...)

 

[DannyDiglett]

I think it's time they should focus on Ash's Gengar now. Here's an idea that just came up: Ash revisits professor Sycamore who gives him and his Gengar a Key Stone and a Gengarite. A few episodes later Mega Gengar will battle Sabrina's Mega Alakazam (I think one of the silhouettes from yesterday's episode is Sabrina's)

No, it says that some of the literally 1000+ past characters are never ever going to return, and that he feels sorry for them. He's just stating the obvious, stop reading all kinds of nonsense "reveals" into whatever crappy google translation you made.

 

[AsH KetcHHup]

Our best bet is that she is Sabrina but her hair does seem a bit short.

 

[Dephender]

Any implications regarding directly relevant characters? As in past companions, supporting cast etc.?

He literally just says he's happy all these old characters are returning, but it also makes him feel sad for all the characters that are never going to make another apperance.

I'm not sure where people are getting these crazy ideas that Iwane is sitting there on Twitter making sneaky hints about upcoming stuff, but he's under an NDA and is obviously not allowed to do that. Stop machine translating his tweets and starting weird rumors about whatever you think your Google Translations imply.

Ash vs. Paul: I don't necessarily agree that they had to give Infernape 3 wins there, but it was the pinnacle of its story-arc and wasn't surprising. If anything, Torterra could've done really well vs.Aggron or Gastrodon, but they really wanted to show off Iced Aqua Jet again. Gliscor having a win against Paul was absolutely necessary considering it came back from training.

If I had to guess why they gave Buizel a win was because they wanted to show off it’s Ice Aqua Jet.

They regained a winning Pokemon to show off the Aqua Jet.

But Torterra's post-evolution wins are 0.

I understand that they want to show that Gliscor has improved after training.

But Pikachu and Buizel did not have to win.

I think Buizel and Pikachu's arguments are weak; Pikachu lost to much weaker opponents.

In fact, Infernape did not need to beat 3 pokemon in his war with Paul.

Torterra, to me, is shown weak.There is no need for excuse. Writers spent Torterra.

Ash has 2 pokemons that do not win after evolving. One is Incineroar and the other is Torterra.

After the Incineroar evolved, it never fought. His situation is uncertain.
