I really don't think you should take a rumor like that at face value.

I can't really see them going straight from departure to departed-character special like that.

That character looks interesting and flashy. Reminds me of someone from Inuyasha. No matter, I'm glad Cilan's getting an episode where he isn't a Detective Connoisseur.

Careful? Where's the fun in that?
I don't know how accurate this upcoming main cast Pokemon event distribution is...but the main site say's Cilan's Pansage comes with Seed Bomb, so maybe he learns the attack in this episode? Maybe? Just a stretch for something
Cilan will likely win against her since this is probably his last battle, so I suppose that might open up the possibility of Pansage learning a new move or something. I mean it's not gonna be able to evolve without a Leaf Stone, so a new move would be the next best thing for it. Pansage may as well leave the show in style imo.

Man, I hope thy give Dento some thing good here, one last episode for him before ( if ) He does leave.

Hope there's a good battle in this episode, a nice 3 vs 3, Crustle can take the fall again.
Looking at the glasses on the woman her using the Togepi line would be awesome, however in doing so surely that would promote them to the data broadcast.
Regardless I am very much anticipating this episode.

It would be even better to have him lose and decide to take his training more seriously if he's leaving. Almost everyone he's faced has been mostly gags, so it would be nice to have someone serious about his goal for once. Especially with the female rivals on this show.
Cilan and "serious" in the same sentence? That does not compute lol. But honestly, I just can't see him taking a battle seriously at this point. I mean would a loss really change his outlook on life? I just don't think he would be inspired by a loss here unless he's met this woman (man?) before and has a grudge against them. That's the only way I could see him getting serious about the whole thing, otherwise he'll likely take it in stride.

What on Earth makes you guys think Cilan doesn't take battles seriously. He took his battle against Burgundy seriously(sure he destroyed her, doesn't mean he screwed around), his battles against Skyla, Pinot Noir, both battles against Trip, tags with Ash, all were serious. Some were against opponents that he didn't really care about but he still battled seriously. He has been seen training with Ash briefly, he taught his Stunfisk how to "fly" and his Pokemon have learned moves off screen more than once, he clearly trains.

Agreed. I always thought he took all his battles seriously, no matter how small they were.
Well no offense, but it's hard to take him seriously when he does twirls and sparkles all the time. He's just so happy all the time that it's hard to think of him as an intense battler. But like I said, if he knows this woman from his past and she gets under his skin, he might put aside his comical personality and battle to the best of his abilities. That's the best case scenario, although I'm still fully prepared for the worst case scenario where nothing of value happens and Pansage doesn't develop in any way.

> Implying that you have to be a serious person in general to be a competent battler. In a way, Cilan is very serious anyway, he's passionate towards his hobbies/profession, even if that includes him being sparkly. Doing a tasting time during a battle for example is an important thing for him.
What is value anyway? If I get an entertaining, well made battle that'll have all the value I need. Nothing "of value" happened in the Oshawott tourney episode, yet you still liked that. But criticize every other fillerish episode to death.
Charmed never said Cilan wasn't a competent battler, the user said it's hard to think of him as an intense battler.
Which I kind of agree with. We never see Cilan really struggle with much and be like "Okay, time to get serious and win this!". Like how Ash pulled his hat around VS Tobias and brought out Pikachu to do the very best possible

What recent events?
I never said he wasn't a competent battler so I don't know where that assumption came from. I said that I don't think he's an intense battler unless he's facing someone he doesn't like. This character of the day looks kind of mean so there's a chance that he might battle fiercely if his pride is on the line, but that's just one possibility and I'm not willing to bet on it happening because again, I know the writers too well to trust them with something important.
Cilan is passionate about his hobbies, but he still has a comical side which is what I've been saying from the start. It's hard to appreciate that trait when he has a whole other side to him. And I wasn't even accounting for the whole "IT'S _____ TIME!!!!" catch phrase but now that you mention it, it kind of strengthens my argument that he's not a very serious person. :x
Oshawott won a battle, which was miraculous in and of itself. That was close enough to development that it made the episode stand out from some of the other DA fillers. If Cilan and Pansage don't develop here, the whole episode will be a waste of time imo, regardless of whether or not the battle is "well made."

If even a battle is a waste of time for you why do you even watch this show? Even at their best the story lines and development in Pokemon have never really been on par with most other shows, the main things to look for are the battles and random entertaining things.
Oshawott got a win, woo. Maybe Pansage will get an impressive win. Been a while from that too. Maybe Stunfisk will be used in battle.
I don't think tasting time makes Cilan less of a serious person, it's important to him, it's his way of doing things, it is serious for him. It just makes him look less serious on the surface for people like Iris, which makes for some great comedic moments. But it is him at his truest.
