Pocket Monsters (2019) Speculation Thread

[Rune Knight]

How old is Ash's Lucario?

Zero years old.

Does it still qualify as a baby? It's literally less than a year old...

From a number standpoint, yes. As a Pokémon, no. I will explain in greater detail at the end.

Does Inteleon still qualify as Cinderace's younger brother?

The fandom may perceive it that way, but that's probably not the case in-universe.

How old is Pikachu? Is it the same age as Ash?

About four years old, assuming that we go by what the narrator said in JN01 and that it had recently been born and that Ash was around six at the time.

Does Evolution count as Aging?

Technically speaking, no. A Pokémon's behavior is for the most part associated with the species that it belongs to. Their maturity is often correlated with their evolution stage. For example, Torchics are known to be playful while Blazikens tend to be more stoic. So in a way, they "act" how they look.

A Pokémon is also more likely to gain experience as it ages causing it to eventually evolve, but this is one of those cases where correlation does not imply causation. A Pokémon like Riolu may as well evolve into its final stage not long after it has hatched, but technically it's still a young baby.

I guess it would be a similar case if an eevee left an egg and automatically given an evolutionary stone

How old is Ash's Lucario?

A month younger than Phanpy
Five weeks younger than Scraggy and three weeks younger than Noibat

I know Pokemon has had its up and downs, especially as of late, but when 'Goda' stans come out here and say it then it holds no real value. These buffoons think OP is the best thing since sliced bread, it's honestly embarrassing...

Is OP Original series?

One piece

So Gengar needs the Max Soup to Gigantamax. Guess not all GMAX capable Pokemon are born with the Gigantamax factor.

If Koharu's Eevee can't evolve for that same reason wonder if that means the same for Pikachu and Mewoth?

ALLISTER IS COMING! HALLELUJH!!!

We didnt see ANY Gigantamax pokemon from JN045 until JN082.
Then in less than 10 episodes, 3 Gigantamax forms debut.

Well, we saw G-Max Meowth partially, in opening :V

PRAISE BE TO ARCEUS THE CREATOR.

ALLISTER ARRIVES!

I wouldnt be surprised if Piers appears in an episode focussed on Grookey evolving with the Maximazers.

 

[Remix2]

Imo I wish gengar learn to mega evolve instead of g-max.

Better G-max than Mega Evolution. Galar is run down (despite being the newest region) so showing something of it should be a higher priority.
I would also like to add that it pisses me off more that G-max Gengar will present Satoshi (it pains me that others were showing one G-max pokémon, while Satoshi is going to show two of them).

Why does that pain you?

Plus it's not like that'll likely be only exclusive to Ash.

Goh is more than likely gonna to showcase 3 G-max Pokemon by the time Journeys ends

 

[DuskAstral]

Why does that pain you?

Because I prefer each G-max to be represented by a different coach. Besides, I think that when it comes to G-max Gengar, Satoshi is not suitable for me to present (it should be Allister).

 

[Mythical-Moonlight]

Ah yes the 2 canon Pokemon x Pokemon ships

Buneary x Pikachu and Cinderace x Lucario

(Both of Ash's Aces have a Bunny Bae how adorable)

(I swear to Arceus all this Buneary merch better not be misleading)

 

[Eddieursa]

You know? I just thought about something. The Dialga/Palkia special is going to introduce an alternative world of the Pokemon World we all know. We already saw something similar in the previous Generation, in Alola, when Ash visited the Alola destroyed by Guzzlord. Considering this, do you think there's a chance that the Team Rainbow Rocket's plot will be adapted into the Anime?

 

[Panky..]

I wonder when we'll get a BDSP promo episode where Mindy gets arrested for scamming and fraud?

I hate how JN spoils everything through Magazines. All the important stuff is there before the episode airs due OR magazines or The PR twitter account of JN.

Then don't read the magazines or just don't visit this topic. If they don't reveal future stuff then there's nothing to speculate or get hyped about. And there's still stuff that comes out of nowhere like Ash's catches and the returns of Gary and Iris which was only known after the new opening aired.
