Previews don't show everything we don't know what the battle actually is.
Of course not because they felt giving Go a million quality captures then give Ash a single episode training and bonding with his Pokemon
Mostly everything is offscreen land for Ash.
I actually don’t find G-Kamonegi not fighting, this thing only knows Dark-type moves which are obviously not good against a Fighting-type specialist and a Satoshi hadn’t done any training or had any buildup with it like with Riolu to the point where I believe things would be different in a rematch. Plus I like it when Satoshi innovates in rematches by switching out a Pokémon or two. Narratively Kamonegi gains nothing from winning or losing to Saito since Saito and her Pokémon weren’t really anything important toward its character or growth.
Riolu struggled against Octolock, Saito and got news of M-Lucario and Corni’s defeat so it was always the star and one who needed redemption. I’m glad Saito switched out Luchabull, Kapoerer has such a fun design and way of battling I’m glad it’s getting screen time. I’m guessing Pikachu will help weaken Otosupus for Riolu to beat...because Pikachu getting wrapped up by an opponent and using Thunderbolt at close range is like the...most common and obvious things ever for a lot of damage (why do trainers do this to Electric-type Pokémon again...?)
I wonder if this will be 2-0...sort of revenge for the first battle and with how the writers have been portraying Pikachu after vaporizing Kapu Kokeko they seem apprehensive of giving it hard losses this series. Regular struggles at best but obviously Riolu is taking a win. Animation and hand movements look pretty cool, ngl.
