>>286697448Should've had the hot spring visit in the anime episode. Lots of girls in today's ep.
>>286697709They probably feel embarrassed by it.
>>286697751At least there's fanart for that.
>>286697709We'll probably get one right before it starts just to remind us that it exists.
>>286697742>>286697707STILL no info on next week's episode?
>>286697507https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2032350953031270890>Today's episode of the Pokémon anime is a 1 hour special!

>>286697922>>286697832Hey, there it is.
>>286697844Most likely we're getting a big cliffhanger ending today.
They're focusing so much on all the other characters and so little on Master Mayonnaise the episode might even end with the battle starting. Then we'll get Mega Lucario Z next week.
>>286698074I think that might be it. We have no footage from the battle, and even Oha Suta, which usually promotes a move from the episode whether they show a clip or not, just talked about Luchabull's love of posing.
>>286697751go send Soara skeb request to make a fanart. Hell, its probably going to make one anyways
Sex with Dot
>>286698187
>>286698172The op pic is specifically "onsen episode today" fanart, we're probably getting more from other artists too.
>>286698187Liko...
Two hours left, right?
>>286698375Bit over one and a half.
>>286698375>>286698450Isn't today the first week with daylight savings again?
>>286698460It's currently 5:26pm in Japan, and the episode starts at 6:55pm
>>286698575Ok, got things mixed up then. Thanks.
>>286697751That would kill Uruto, anon.
>>286698698He's expendable.
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2032381160907751905>Companions are gathering at the Brave Asagi one after another! Unique companions like Anne, Nemo and Botan drop by as well, and so do Sazare, Sohdayo and Master Mayonnaise?! Come watch the Pokémon anime episode coming up soon at 6:55pm, okay?
>>286698893
>>286698910
>>286698918
>>286698893>>286698910Uruto is probably going to have a hard enough time with these.
>>286698936>Daaad, stop embarrassing us in front of the girls.
>>286698074>>286698127Mega Lucario Z would be a bigger reason for next week's sparkles than Momowarou, too.
25 minutes left, get in here.
>>286699140Ready
>>286699058So they're saving Momowarou for next chapter then?
>>286699307Yeah, presumably.
It's time.
>>286698187>>286698197Dot is hot.
Is the live action patt going to last a full half hour?
>>286699363Apparently.
>Woke up too early because I forgot about the live segment.
Man Kanade is ugly.
>>286699352Nanjamo…
Nice title card
I believe in them.
Wellbeing!
They sure suck at Pokemon Go.
Getting all the hints shouldn't take very long if they just need one Pokemon for each type.
Now I'm hungry.
Looks like they found a minigame.
>>286698839But enough about Roy.
This is pretty halfassed. Pokedoko is way more fun than this.
Can't they just throw the ice on the ground?
>>286698936>Uruto recognizes him too Would be funnier otherwise.
>>286697520Hey, they just spoiled the answer in the sponsor card.
>>286697607Me...
>>286698127We have battle footage now.
>>286699491Why would Uruto forget someone who gave him something nice like a mega ring?
They've spent more time on this ice minigame than on the main quest.
>all that and they still failed
>>286698941He didn't give a shit about them last time tho.
>egg puddingOk, that looks really good actually.
They spend so little time on this Pokemon Go stuff it's clear they realized it wasn't very interesting to watch.
This is just being mean to them for no reason.
>>286699517Because he called him just a generic 'ossan', whereas he chose to call Friede 'shisho' instead.Overall he wasn't that impressed by him.
The connection they try making to the various Six Heroes is pretty forced.
Seeing fatties getting tortured is always good fun.
Did they seriously played Eyes of the Tiger in Pokemon?
I don't think they even said what the reward for this mission was.
>>286699612TV channels have purchased a bunch of licensed music variety shows like these can play as they wish. Pokedoko plays a bunch too.
>>286698012>>286698074>shilldog two-parterWhat you're saying is basically another Episode: Mega Evolution but without Uruto focus?No thanks as hell.
>>286699615Trading for a Pokemon they needed in Pokemon Go.
>>286699628We're getting the battle this week after all, they've showed clips from it during this live action segment.
Finally the episode starts.
Anime time!
Sexare!
Here's our man!
Huh, didn't think they'd actually play the OP this week.
>Uruto isn't hereAw, I wanted him to meet Sazare
>sou na no ka?>Sohnano!
Oh yeah, he can't handle Sazare's midriff.
>>286699677Spoke too soon.
Everyone's here for the orgy!
Budget ran out I see.
>Kusatsu OnsenPost her team.
Having Pokemon that randomly cause blackouts by eating the electricity must be tiresome.
>oh yeah, I went to space. Didn't I tell you?
Huh, looks like Yanga is going to play a bigger role than expected.
Anne trained with Nemona?
Wait, Friede knows Master Mayonnaise?
I really like Anne's new outfit.
>Aaaah, scary ojisan!
Liko needs to get used to these weird men at some point.
Liko in Mastersex when?
>>286699746Ah, no, he doesn't.
>Grown man caressing a mega evolved Pokemon
>he was just there for Mega Starmie
>>286699776Her, Roy and Dot at least should make it in when the series ends.
>>286699793Should be her, Dot and Sango.
Mega Shilldog Z!
So what's next week THEN?
>taking that long to climbSatoshi's was cooler than this.
>>286699803Sango after Uruto
>fuck you, I was posing here!
I complained from the preview that they brought everyone together just to cheer on roy, but it is in fact very funny that everyone is cheering on hawlucha.
I'm guessing the Mega Gurumin segment will be about Mega Luchabull today?
>dumb dog loses again You love to see it.
Encore must be a really powerful move in the anime universe
>>286699840And they're wasting two episodes on this.... never mind I take back any compliment.
Getting absolutely destroyed.
>>286699866>not enjoying seeing the shitdog loseNah, this is gold
Where's Orio's rewards?
>NanjamoEPISODE NOW 10/10
NANJAMO-NEECHAN!
Nah, next is Diana.
>Next stop: Diana
>no Poppy cameoGay
>>286699899Our CAPTAINand Roy I guess
>People were worried that Lucario was just going to get a nee Mega for free.
>>286699843Yup, knew it.
>>286699911Find it funny how many times the gun was jumped on assumptions from mere pictures, only for the episodes to become a complete 180 of the situation.
>10 more minutes of live action before we get the preview for next week
Honestly wasn't all that good an episode. Mostly exposition plus a pretty bleh battle.
>>286699880>Sees the previewNah I stand by what I said.
>>286699645>Pisscario lostNevermind it wasn't shilling this week.
Aw meh, we're getting the Lucario crap next week too
Luchabull is so much cooler than Lucario it's unreal.
Master Mayonnaise is battling Diana?
Hey, they found Terapagos. yay
I still don't really get the point of this live action segment.
>didn't even get a Mikitty jokeSoulless
>>286699988Guess it was mostly to shill Pokemon Go after all.
Lucario is almost as big a mistake as Roy.
Lucario’s cool. I just can’t hate. Its at least not as shilled as a certain lizard.
Only mistake here is Liko and Roy not having kissed yet.
Luchabull has more personality in the 5 minutes it was onscreen than Lucario has had in the entire time it's been on the show.
Summary for next week:>March 20th: PM2023 132 - Rematch! A Challenge for Lucario!!>Roy and Lucario were not only defeated by Master Mayonnaise, they were also unable to master the new Mega Evolution. But while Lucario is getting impatient, Roy suggests that it relaxes a bit instead...?! The two then end up battling Master Mayonnaise's Luchabull again.... and during this battle, they manage to discover a new way to use Wave Guidance. After that, they acquire the new Mega Evolution as well?!
>>286700139>dogshit in my Diana episodeThanks, I hate it
>>286700139This is not what I wanted Momowarou's return to be.
>>286700139Given they’ve outright much given away that Lucario is going to mega evolve, I assume that’s going to go to the back half.
Sorry everyone, we can't get to the fireworks factory yet till poochie gets a second mega form.
>>286700139>Diana's episode>No Diana in the summaryOkay.
>>286700234MustShillDog
They could never make me hate you my little edge dog.
>>286700284Only more of stuff like this and I'd be fine with Cario.

>>286700333>Megumi Hayashibara: LuckyOh huh, we definitely didn't know that. Nice to learn what other roles some of these regulars are playing.
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2032410090700165212>Pokémon Anime Highlight:>What Master Mayonnaise bestowed on Roy was the "Lucarionite Z". Roy tried using it in the battle, but since he and the Yellow Lucario weren't in sync, the Mega Evolution didn't work out either, and the two suffered a bitter defeat against Mega Luchabull. It seems the two of them are lacking something they'll need in order to see Mega Lucario's other form?
>>286700440
>>286700454
>>286700469
>>286700454What even was this pose?
https://x.com/Pokemon_cojp/status/2032411349930615101>In today's episode of the Pokémon anime, Roy ended up battling Master Mayonnaise? Can Roy and Lucario win against the Mega Evolved Luchabull?! Check out the official Youtube channel to learn how the battle ended!
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2032411349511491937>The curtain is about to go up for a fierce battle for Roy's Lucario in the Pokémon anime! We're holding a lottery where 20 winners will receive a Yellow Lucario plushie! To enter the lottery, follow @anipoke_PR and repost this post! The deadline is Friday March 20th!
>>286700326Headcanon territory.
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2032413865510858868>Pokémon Anime News:>Next episode, the gong will ring for the fight of the century! The episode airing Friday March 20th is... episode 132, "Rematch! A Challenge for Lucario!!" (airdate and airtime may vary depending on region) "Saa, Lucario! Ikou!"
>>286700658
I know my sample size is small, but it is funny that anyone I follow/people they follow that talks about pokemon does not like lucario z.
>>286700668
>>286700680
>>286700687Jesus Christ it looks like shit
https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2032416381682229522>What did you think of Pokémon anime episode 131, "The Time Has Come! Gather, Companions!"? Sohdayo had befriended Sazare in no time, and for some reason Friede and Master Mayonnaise arrived on the Brave Asagi together. Lots of unexpected relationships got revealed this episode, so please make sure to watch the Youtube upload!
>>286700738
>>286700326Cute and canon as always.
>>286700738It was nice to see these two again, unfortunately the episode spent too much time on Lucario shit. Meh.
So what rating do you expect for this episode?
The funniest not-interaction was friede and the airship crew. The only one he interacted with at all was him and murdock expositioning together for 1 sentence.
>>28670078778, the standard for Roy episodes.Though it deserves worse.
>>28670078779. Deserves a bonus point for Sazare.
Like proper love interest she sees Dot off as she travels into the final battle, sadly she also planted a death flag by making Dot promise to collab when this is all over. Dot will not survive the final battle.
So when is Rising Again ending.
>>286700849Dot will survive, but she and Liko will be stranded in another region and will have to live as a couple there.
>>286700861Next week.
>>286700866Dot will die, and Ann will have to comfort Liko on her cold lonely nights.
>>286700528This guy was actually really fucking cool, I wish Uruto had got one.
>>286700658Surely half the episode will be taken up by Diana and Momowarou antics, right?
>>286700980Haha...
>>286700980>>286701009She's gonna too busy having a battle with ult.
Why people don't like Roy.
>>286701153I do. I like everyone in the show except for Magyoro and that old guy the Liko and Roy battled early into the series who Diana knew.
>>286701153It's less that people don't like him (it's Lucario they don't like) and more that they find him bland and uninteresting, which is an issue when they keep giving him so many episodes recently that could've gone to better characters.
>>286701153He's just really boring, that's literally all there is to it.
>>286701153Roy was underutilized in the first 4 arcs and didn’t really have anything going on, so it probably settled in people’s minds that he didn’t matter. Time skip comes and he’s not treated like more of a main character than before and people who had it in their minds that he was a secondary in a similar vain to Dot are incredulous. Personally I like him much more now than I did before. And while his Lucario isn’t much to write home about, I think its overall fine, even if it’s personality is standard for its species, there are already a ton of Pokemon that are silly or goofy that I’m fine with there being one or two stoic mon, plus moments like this >>286700284 make it come off like more of a chunni.
>>286701153He's uninteresting and clearly just there because suits feared little boys wouldn't watch the show if all the mcs were female.
>>286701551Were they right?
>>286701615Do we even have viewership data based on gender.
Onsen pics doko?
>>286701615No, Friede and Cap became really popular with these boys. It's the same way Robin got introduced to appeal to young boys reading Batman, but they all just preferred Batman instead.
>>286701669No, but it's pretty 50-50 I think.
>>286701720>>286697448
is complete zygarde the only thing left in the op now?
>>286700822>>286700838Bit off, but not massively.
When roy couldn't mega evolve the lucario I thought it meant they were saving it for the assault on rakua coming in 2 episodes where the chips would be down and it'd actually matter... only for the realization to kick in almost instantly that it's just gonna be a part 2.
>>286702047Gonna wager a guess it was the first half they liked.
>>286702047>>286702084Probably. The Roy VS Friede episode did even better than this one, while Roy-only episodes like the recent Fug one perform as usual.
>>286702119They really like Friede, huh?
>>286702047Nanjamo and Mayo saved it.
>>286701153He's everything that went wrong with shitneys trAsh x1000000.
>>286701153Like others have said, boring. I can't care about him.
>>286701153Boy main character in my shoujo anime.
They still seethe at Roy and Liko's love confession.
>>286702167>Friede, Sazare, Sohdayo... there was a decent amount of things to like in the first half, even if it didn't amount to all that much.
>>286701095Couldn't that Hydro Pump be of Ann's Daikenki?She's not showed with Nemo and Botan in the background.
>>286703152Pretty sure it's from Diana's Rotom Wash. Doesn't make much sense for Anne to randomly battle Uruto here.
>>286703152>>286703319Yeah, it's Wash Rotom's, we see it fire the move in the previous scene (unless that's a VERY misleading scene cut)
>>286703319>>286703393Preview shows also Mega Luchabull in the scene with Rotom.Maybe it's actually a double battle Mayonnaise and Diana vs Uruto and Ann?
>>286701153I love Roy, he is what I would become if I were a Pokémon trainer.....well maybe I would also try gyms on the side but never too seriously like Ash.
>>286704965What's his endgame.
>>286703649Yeah, I think so.
>>286705426Liko
>>286703649Probably, explains why they waited until then.
>>286705426Shotas. He'll team up with Sazare eventually.
>By Dotto-shiiiiiiii! When you come back I’ll let you go down on me again!
>>286698172>>286698208Soara ended up drawing a Marnie picture instead!
Nicolive ratings for this week's episodes.
>>286709648Friede power pushed this one higher than it deserved.
>>286709648Wow, we almost beat Aipri.
>>286709648PISSCARIOOOOOOO POWEEEEEEEEEEER!!!!
>>286710071It definitely isn't because of that, considering how its earlier episodes did.
>>286709648Thanks, where can I find nicolive ratings for all the past week episodes? Whenever I ask about ratings in other threads, autists throw a fit and start whining about "who cares about ratings that's for ballsports" and call me a tourist
>>286710527Literally just scroll up a bit >>286702119
>>286710562Appreciated, but I mean an actual database. Like for every year and every show. Every time I ask people just tell me to fuck off
>>286710727https://nicolive-anime-survey.info
>>286710883Aces, thanks anon. Anipoke anons are so nice and helpful and knowlegable. I guess because the average age is older
Sazare is not beating the allegations any time soon.
>>286711518It's weird to me how she has the literal same interactions with the male/female mc in gen 9 and somehow instead of the internet calling her a pedophile you try and make it entirely about boys.I'm half expecting the resident evil fans to somehow do the same about RE9.
>>286711518They knew goddamn well what they were doing with that line.
>>286711939Eh, it's similar to how Shirona and the female mc's interactions in gen 4 made the internet make it all about her when she has the same interactions with the male mc.
>>286711518God I wish that was me.
>>286711518That initial bit with Sazare and Sohdayo was definitely the best part of the episode.
Hi anons, sorry I'm late, was there anything you wanted translated or clarified from today's episode?
>>286714593What were Friede and his Exceed buddy talking about? Any new revelations?
>>286714715Yanga talked about how Spinel has put all research at Exceed on hold to hyper focus on the Strong Spheres, and while he has some reservations about that and isn't entirely sure the Strong Spheres are safe, everyone just goes along with it because you can't really say no to Spinel. Friede then shows him scientific evidence of the effect Rakulium has on Pokemon (this is what he had been working on with the Devon guys while he was gone, the report says Rakulium "activates the cells that stimulate a Pokemon's fighting instinct, but also removes its need for humans", a more scientific explanation for the "destroys bonds" thing they've referred to it as before). He says he was planning on letting Yanga have this data, but Yanga's willingness to just go along with what Spinel wanted made him reconsider, and he says he'll just give it to Crave instead. This was the wakeup call Yanga needed, reminding him that he joined Exceed because he wanted to do good for people and Pokemon, and he says he and his colleagues will see what they're able to do. This convinces Friede to let him have the data after all.
>>286714593Are Sohdayo and Sazare coming along to Rakua?
>>286715024Thanks! I'm glad they're offering a more scientific explanation for that because the whole "breaking bonds" thing felt a bit too vague.
>>286715126Yeah, they could've probably still explained it a bit better, but the idea seems to be that it fucks with their brain and makes them autonomous rage monsters, which causes permanent brain damage over time and makes them unable to think of other creatures as anything but enemies.
>>286715097It was a bit unclear really. They want to write an article/take pictures that will tell the world the truth about the Rising Volt Tacklers, and while logically that would mean they'd have to come along, they never outright say they're going to do so.They're not in the preview for the next episode either, but neither is Anne, and we know she's coming.
>>286715024So Spinel is going to get opposed from the inside now too? You'd think he'd have prepared for that possibility.
desu the idea that a company is able to launch a product that incorporates an untested, unknown substance worldwide when a handful of scientists were able to figure out said substance is super dangerous shit in like a week is still pretty silly.
>>286715024>>286715445I'm still curious what Spinel's actual goals are. The Strong Spheres rollout is collapsing all around him without him being able to do all that much about it, surely there has to be something a bit more to it?
>>286714593Why didn't the shilldog mega evolution work?
>>286715724Luchabull's Encore threw off Lucario's rhythm and the added frustration and stress caused by its moves not connecting made it fall out of sync with Roy.Master Mayonnaise told Roy that they can't win against Luchabull the way they're currently using Wave Guidance, but that there's a different way to use it that will unleash Lucario's true power, something they're currently far from mastering.
>>286715884How meh.Seems like the solution will just be round 3 of Roy remembering that Kakitsubata told him to chill.
>>286701153Like what everyone else have said, Roy is pretty boring. However, for me, it more than just that. To me, it because of how hard they try to push him to make people like him. Think about it for a second.>first character to reappear after the time skip>have Cap as a partner>first new Pokémon he got/revealed was a SHINY Lucario that can mega evolve >is the reason the team came back together>become the new leader>defeated Nemo >have a mini arc dedicated to him and the Yellow Fart (origin story)>defeated Friede and was glazed by the man and became the official leader Seriously, all this to push his popularity. Basically, you have a very boring character that is being pushed very hard to get people to like. A shonen protagonist with no personality. Even Goku have more personality than Roy and half the time people characterized him as this, "You strong, me like, we fight". Even old Roy was better. I get that this time skip is to make him mature, but it ruin him, as he seem less fun than before. If you want to push a character, at least make him fun.
>>286716064Uruto feels a lot more like a traditional shonen protagonist really, and anons seem to like him quite a bit. Roy is just bland.
>>286701153Globalist industry plant
I liked the episode better after a rewatch honestly. Roy focus aside, Luchabull is just fucking cool in general, and seeing it beat the shit out of Lucario is nice.Next episode will have more Luchabull, so I think it's going to be pretty good times even if it's going to jack off the shilldog a lot.
Also I missed that the new Brave Asagi is called the "Rising Again", that's cute.
>>286714593What is Sazare saying here? >>286711518
>>286716553"Aren't you interested in (learning about) me too?"It makes sense in context (Uruto just got briefed on who Sohdayo was), but it's still worded like she's coming on to him. Definitely not by mistake, the writers know the memes.
>>286716644Guys, is Sazare a pedophile?
>>286716644Love it.Sazare is a miracle.
>>286716675We say shotacon in these parts, son.
>>286716064>Even old Roy was better. I get that this time skip is to make him mature, but it ruin him, as he seem less fun than before. If you want to push a character, at least make him fun.I liked Roy well enough before, but he was genuinely has next to nothing as a character besides being a happy go lucky kid. Dot and Liko were both getting development while he was largely staying the same. I’ll never get him maturing being a bad thing, its like missing Liko being an introvert or Dot being antisocial. The amount of focus he got is honestly small potatoes compared to Liko whom he’s meant to share the protagonist role with.
>>286716856It's almost like the "share the protagonist role with" thing is just marketing fluff and not something the writers care about when writing the show or something.
>>286716919We know by the leaks that this was always the case>Muh leaksYou can’t speak on the writers intent and ignore the leaks.
>>286716965Yeah yeah they probably changed their minds then.
>>286717026I mean… did they? Roy was planned to take a more central role after the timeskip even before Dot was a character. They changed their mind on stuff like Friede betraying the team but still kept Roy becoming the new leader.
>>286716965Aren't those "leaks" of yours of some v 0.001 super early draft outline from before Dot and Amethio even existed as characters? Obviously they changed their minds on Roy's importance to the plot after that.
>>286717121They didn’t though, Roy was planned to take the role or leader of the RVTs after Friede betrayed everyone. It was always meant to be Liko in the pre timeskip then Roy in the post timeskip.
>>286716722GOD I wish that was me.
>>286717121Yeah, leakfags are retarded.The leaks are just mtl full of mistranslations too.

>>286717958He's seemingly going to stick around, so we'll probably get something later.
>>286718077Everything is better with wrestling.
>>286717702>Dekanuchan ringing the bell with its hammerKawaii
>>286717958Good.
Found the slide, seemingly Roy was the main PoV character originally with Liko already being on the ship (presumably episode 3 would have been episode 1) but they likely swapped things to have Liko be the main PoV.
>>286718483Yeah so basically they threw out the idea of Roy being the mc long before even starting to write the show, and just kept it around as a marketing point to make boys still want to watch.
>>286718483You don't even need to go looking for it, it's all in the 220302 file, I'll even highlight the exact pdf people are always talking about.
>>286718483>>286718609Maybe you fags can go back to whatever place "people are always talking about" this shit and talk about it there?
>>286717702>>286717901Goddammit, am I actually excited for a shillcario episode?
>>286718736Technically these are more Luchabull episodes.
He wears many hats.
>>286718822I get we hate Lucario here but like… is really?
>>286717958Her swimsuit was a damn shame. They gotta stop pandering to lolicons and give the ladies a show
>>286718849It's TOTALLY stealing the show both today and in the previews for next week.
You know those animes that have a beach filler episode right before the finale? They're meant to be heading to rakua to stop the strong spheres which have in fact been released to the public, and idk man, the fact they need to stop going towards rakua because roy lost a battle just make it feel like a filler episode.Especially since lucario Z isn't even an upgrade. We're wasting time helping roy's lucario get a weaker defense and make half it's move pool do less damage. Definitely worth letting all those poor pokemon suffer across the globe for an extra day!
>>286718902Molly and Oreo had no bikinis so who gives a shit

>>286719037thanks anon. Through dick, unity.
They should replace Roy with Master Mayonnaise and his Luchabro.

I wonder if they'll do a timetravel arc after this and we get to see Roy and Liko's kids in the future.
>>286719619Absolute boss
I wonder if they'll do a timetravel arc after this and we get to see Roy dead in a ditch
>>286719037They seem to have a more positive impression of Roy compared to here though.

>>286720352Best Pokemon character theme right there.
Looking forward to Roy's next win on Friday.
>>286716222That's because his personality actually makes him endearing. You can see him hiding his true self as he struggle to truly connect with people since he grew up in the street. >>286716856It's not the maturing is the problem, it's more of how he is portray. He could still be the way he is but have moments of him getting excited over new things like he did before and try to hide it after. It would really expand his character by showing everyone he still the same kid as before, just forced to put up a facade and grow up after losing someone special.
Can a girl and her oshi's relationship be accepted?
>episode just had Luchabull become Botan's oshiCan a human girl and her bird oshi's relationship be accepted?
>>286721441Cute and gay
>>286720836>He could still be the way he is but have moments of him getting excited over new things like he did before and try to hide it after.He does still get excited about stuff though, he’s just not masking it. Losing someone made him want to mature, and we see that that can have impacts through Uruto and his time at Blueberry. That despite trying to be mature he actually still lacks the same clarity that someone like Friede has.
>>286724130>negative impacts.
I'm legit sure I've visited Kusatsu once.

>>286724688I was part of a >Chinese Tour Groupyou THINK they would allow that?
>>286724947Guess no random Pokemon showed up either.
>>286720829Enjoy him losing this week too.
>>286701153They're trolling
We still don't have any info on AnimeJapan, do we? That's really weird.
>>286726100I wish, having mayo tell roy he'll need time and effort to do something and then revealing he does it next episode in what is probably less then 24 hours later isn't interesting from an in-universe perspective nor a writing one. At least when it's a gag you can get something out of it, like roshi telling goku he'll need years to use the kamehameha only for goku to use it first try right then and there.
>>286727484I don’t think Paldea to Galar is 24 hours.
>>286727301Soon
>>286727570Paldea to Johto is apparently close enough Roy can hang on to dickbird the whole way.

Next week's Pokedoko will have "Pokemon anime karaoke" with two gusts who's never been on the show before, Yuki Tokunaga and Ruru Danbara.If the new chapter starts in April, this might be related to the new OP or ED.
>>286731722Interesting.
>>286731722That'd make sense, they'll likely announce the new OP on Friday, before this episode airs.
>>>/vp/59056536Today's Pokedoko starts in 2 hours, will have the usual anime promos.
Since we don't actually see Momowarou fully Terastallize in the preview, do you think it doesn't have the Poison type after all? It's a bit notable how they keep saying "very likely" in promos like >>286625334
>>286735196The wording in that tweet quotes what Dot said in the episode very directly.
>>286735481Okay, but they're still specifically bringing up that it's only "very likely". Them not showing what Teras type Momowarou has in the preview could absolutely mean it has a different one.
>>28673456210 minutes
>>286734562Maybe we'll learn what the deal with Momowarou is here?
What does Murdock say while commentating the match? (it's another joke question)

The thing that doesn't work for about the next episode is lucario doesn't even work as a wrestler. There's a reason the promotional material and even the gurumin segment has hawlucha fighting a machamp in the ring.The machop line, the hitmons and even pokemon like pangoro can all can work as wrestling themed pokemon. Meanwhile lucario would be fighting mienshao or sawk in a martial arts tournament.

>>286752502"Boring"
>>286752502We just did up here in the replies to >>286701153He's just boring and fails to grab anyone's interest. Doesn't help that the writers' supposed answer to this was to just give him a boring shillmon that also never does anything interesting.
