Rivals for Goh?! The Road to Mew!! (1157)

[Jiranaphy]

So was I the only one triggered by the fact that Goh tried to catch Pokemons who probably were on the grounds of Oak's lab, and thus would likely already belong to someone else ?

Seeing that Onix getting thrashed by Gary just because it tried to teach that insolent brat a lesson really made my heart wince.

They were off of the grounds, and if they were already caught, the ball would just bounce off.

Infernape and greninja in the PWC would be phenomenal

When the first project mew trailer released, someone subbed it. When Tsurugi saves them from Regice and talks to them near the campfire, it's then that he says it to Goh.

I'm starting to think I may have missed that trailer after all. Hmm.

Still, I wonder if he's really saying Goh is disqualified under the context of capturing Suicune? I'm not sure. Gotta wait for the episode itself, since I admit to still being confused as to where the thought process is coming from.

I think Ash and Goh caught in considering Goh caught Suicune which is what Oak thought made him eligible. Maybe they will bring up them being darkest day heroes too. However I think when they are in, they do missteps that causes them to fall out of grace in Tsurugi's eyes so when he rescues them he disqualifies them. Makes for very interesting plot, conflict and characters if that's true, something this series sorely needed

Ah, I see. I think I'm starting to get what you're thought process is coming from now.

Well, considering that never happened, probably. Also, where was it said that all the Lab Pokemon have Trainers? There's well over a hundred living there.

You spelled Noivern wrong after "and" btw.

So awesome to see Infernape back, I was hyped for all the moves. Hopefully it's a tease for something greater. I think it's interesting that they went out of their way to give him some focus.

Obviously beating Moltres would have been perfect but that seemed unlikely once I saw the summary. Infernape surviving and standing tall while Blastoise got killed despite the type advantage does say a lot though.

I think that Oak's Lab is a like a Wildlife Sanctuary, which has both Trainer and Wild Pokemon. The Trainer Pokemon stay more closer to the Lab though.

Also, we don't really know if the area in which Goh tried to capture Pokemons were actually part of Oak's Lab or not.

So awesome to see Infernape back, I was hyped for all the moves. Hopefully it's a tease for something greater.

Doubt it, considering the low focus it got in the episode.
Yeah it was mentioned a lot, and even got to battle.

But truthfully the whole episode was more about showcasing Goh's mood and emotions.

As for Infernape, it only got focus to make viewers relate to DP Saga more, as DP remakes are going to be released (plus we should be getting some big new news in a few days).

That moltres seemed too strong

Of course the worst thing to happen to the anime would make a brief appearance. I know they still refuse to acknowledge how awful it was to its Pokemon, given that they made an expy of it for the Pokemon Ping Pong thing back in SM.

These Pokémon are all under his watch do when a lost lamb strays from the flock he worries, so when he returns he's happy

Torkoal when Infernape doesn't want to train with him

 

[Decidueye23]

You know, I'm starting to think this episode was great for a lot of people because of the following:

1) Putting Infernape (randomly) in the spotlight, which brought forth all those DP flashbacks, which was an era that almost everyone agrees was the best saga.
2) Goh failing to do anything worthwhile and truly behaving like a third wheel (by this saga's standards, this is strangely very odd).

I wouldn't put Gary as another good thing since his stuff was more Charizard stuff when said dragon was stupidly relegated to background material for...some reason. It's almost as if him using Electivire was a replacement for Paul being around. Makes one wonder if this episode should have been Charizard-focused because it would have made muuuuuuuuuuuuuuch more sense than Infernape.

Though it's going to be somewhat hilarious that people will go back to disliking Journeys because the next episodes sure aren't even Ash-focused or call for DP flashbacks and before then.

Yeah. I thought so too. It would have made more sense if it was Charizard here considering that Blastoise was taking part in the battle. But infernape didnt do much either. So whatever i guess lol.

Also i dont think People have gone back to liking journeys lol. They just liked one episode. Its going to take a lot more for the overall opinion to change.

Why is Satoshi’s poor writing Gou’s fault and not just Satoshi having poor writing lawl

Honestly i dont think when someone implies its Goh's fault, they literally mean Goh. He is a fictional character. So anything attributed to him is really attributed to the writing behind him. So when someone says why is Goh doing this it really means why are the writers making Goh do this. And i guess the writers are dileberately not writing much for Ash, because then it would be too hard for them to sell the whole "Ash and Goh" are equals idea.

I like that this episode kind of confirms that the pokémon residing at the lab are not confined there and are free to leave and roam around as they please.

A lot of people have this concurrent belief that trainers tend to trap their pokémon and leave them for dead which is heavily suggested to not be the case. I don't even believe it to be so in the games.

Pokémon can leave their pokeballs, leave their trainers (like Froakie), but choose not to mostly out of genuine love. There are cases where the pokémon probably feel like they're forced to stay and abide by their trainers approval (like Paul and Chimchar), but in the case of Ash I would tend to believe that they're happy.

In the Pokémon world it is probably illegal to keep a Pokémon against its will, which I guess is what separates trainers from evil organizations like TR.

 

[Ragnarok4]

but in the case of Ash I would tend to believe that they're happy.

and some of them are training

 

[Rune Knight]

and some of them are training

Yup, making friends and being provided with food and other essential services to suit their needs.

What the worst thing to happen to the Anime?

Yeah it says a lot that none of infernape’s moves did anything to the moltres before it had to back off from the injury and did nothing, while blastoise picked up the slack and actually pushed it back a bit.
