Pokespe future arc speculation thread: Legends Z-A

[Pokemon.Manga]

Pokemon HOME is offically out. I wonder if Kusaka will add Grand Oak to the manga. I hope he does. It would be funny to see how he will be related to Samson and Oak.

Pokemon HOME is offically out. I wonder if Kusaka will add Grand Oak to the manga. I hope he does. It would be funny to see how he will be related to Samson and Oak.

I always just saw him as just a way more older Oak, given how bony he is. Never thought of him as a separate Oak till now.

If Kusaka can plan it out properly then Grand Oak can appear whenever he decides to cover the Isle of Armor/Crown Tundra. I'm very interested in how Meltan, Melmetal, and the new Mythical will be incorporated.

It just hit me. That's how they can introduce Meltan and Melmetal, through Grand Oak who is basically the mascot of Pokemon HOME.

Given that Brigette didn't return when Bank came out (though I fully expect a cameo in the full volumes), I can't see Grand Oak appearing that much.

And Storage System developers rarely play major roles, so he'll probably be a cameo like Hayley or Bebe.

If it were up to me, I'd keep it as a cameo but keep the dialogue at a minimum and mention no relation to the original Oak because as of now fans have no idea if Grand Oak is Prof. Oak, a relative or perhaps a Rick clone that came Back from the Future.

You know, i was re-reading the XY chapter in preparation for the full volume releases, and i always found odd that Mewtwo didn't recognize Green (or Blue, depending on your preference) when fighting at the Pokemon Village. He also never communicated telepathically to him or Blaine. Also when Mewtwo used Psystrike, Green/Blue recognized the attack as if he had seen it before.

I'm looking forward to them explaining how Mewtwo ended up there, which means that most likely there will be a passing mention of Sird.

He was in a blind rage, which he got over pretty quickly.

He also never communicated telepathically to him or Blaine.

Telepathy works differently in Spe than it does in the anime.

In the anime, a Pokemon broadcasts its thoughts like a speaker, so essentially it's talking without the use of vocal chords and its mouth.

In Spe, the Pokemon beams its thoughts into a target's brain, so only that person can hear what it's saying. (For example, Todd couldn't hear Latias' thoughts until she allowed him to).

Mewtwo explicitly stated he only speaks to those he trusts, and those people are Red, Yellow, and Blaine. Giovanni was an exception, and he only allowed Green to hear him to get freed from the armor Giovanni trapped him, so he probably doesn't fully trust him yet.

So, it probably could've spoken to Blaine, the others (including the reader) just didn't hear it.

Also when Mewtwo used Psystrike, Green/Blue recognized the attack as if he had seen it before.

I mean, Mewtwo basically did the exact same thing during the Deoxys fight.

Maybe Red named the attack and told him about it. Like how Super Rising Thunder was retconned into Volt Tackle.

Spoiler: Intro/Anime Spoiler

I just saw that Go's Scorbunny is evolving into a Raboot in the next couple of episodes. While I was surprised at first, it does make sense because Raboot's aloof personality does fit with Go's backstory and character development. So it got me thinking . . .

Do you think Schilly will go through some depression arc in the manga to line up with her Scorbunny evolving into Raboot?

I know she's got a perky genki girl personality right now, which lines up with Scorbunny's personality, but I'm wondering if something's going to happen to Schilly to turn her into a bit of a pessimist, and Scorbunny evolving could relate to what she may be going through. Then, Raboot could evolve into Cinderace once Schilly overcomes her depression arc and gains her confidence back.

 

[Pokemon.Manga]

I wonder when will Kusaka put in elements of the Isle of Armor DLC. I hope it's soon. Also with the new Pokemon Snap game being revealed Todd Snap could be coming back again.

 

[ShinyPokemon inc.]

Without spoiling anything I will definitely say that Kusaka has a lot he can work with when it comes to detailing the Isle of Armor alone. I'm very excited how he will incorporate the new characters and Pokemon into the plot because they definitely can work within the game's main plot

 

[ellifeedn]

I just hope it's better incorporated than the US/UM content was.

I can see an Isle of Armor bit focusing on Marvin trying to get stronger or something like that.

Do you all think that Sodo and Shirudomiria will get Kubfu and challenge Tower of Two Fists before the Champion's Cup?

 

[Pokemon.Manga]

Do you all think that Sodo and Shirudomiria will get Kubfu and challenge Tower of Two Fists before the Champion's Cup?

Shirudomiria already has a full team and Sodo wants Pokemon with items to repair so I can't see them getting Kubfu maybe Marvin though.

There is a Schoolby NPC in the Master Dojo as a student...

You know, even if Kusaka had the time to make another arc, I can't see the point of doing one for BDSP. Legends on the other hand.

 

[horrahforyou]

I can see Kusaka adapt the Legends storyline instead of BDSP. Hopefully we'll see Moon returning as well because she has a Rowlet (now a Decidueye) and answering the question about her relationship to Platinum .

 

[Pokemon.Manga]

You know, even if Kusaka had the time to make another arc, I can't see the point of doing one for BDSP. Legends on the other hand.

BDSP will definitely have new content to adapt for an arc. The Pokeathlon and Cynthia event were used for HGSS so I think Kusaka will be able to do a short arc where the sinnoh trio come back for a little bit and try new features from the games. Legends looks good but I can't see a prequel connecting to the main series. At most we may get flashbacks to the Berlitz family and Diamond and Platinum's ancestors but an entire arc seems like too much.
