Preview SM040: Ashimari, Osyamari, and the Anch-gry Dadarin!

[Rath]

One day at the beach, Satoshi and Suiren meet the Trainer of an Osyamari that's really great at performing. The Trainer tells them they have come here in search of a ship that sunk here in the area long ago.

Date: August 31st

They focus much on Lana: 32,33 and 40

My first guess on seeing the title was Popplio evolving

Clearly I was wrong

Another Lana episode! Woo-hoo! I think she will perform her first Z-move here...

 

[Saizo]

"Performing" ? Nice bait.
Pretty hyped to see Brionne's debut in the anime tho, I like this pokemon.

Lana is less boring than two other classmates, and she deserved another episode, plus she will perform her waterium-Z move pose to defeat that haunted anchor.

Performing? Really? Wow I didnt expect that with Brionne, jeez...

I never talked about Lana you know I actually said that I'm hyped for the episode. Lana is the best Alola character for me anyway, of course she deserved another episode.

Brionne episode! It's my favourite mid-stage Pokemon, so I'd like to see it in action!

Not that kind of performing.

Performing is what the Popplio line is known for. Popplio is an acrobat, Brionne is a dancer, and Primarina is a singer.

Hopefully Brionne is colored like her official artwork rather than the "2003 Paint cyan" she has in the games.

I'm curious as to how they will make Dhelmise more expressive.

 

[Sakuraa]

Ew, Brionne. But anyway, I'm loving all of these Lana episodes. We'll hopefully we'll see Popplio use Hydro Vortex here.

What have we lucky bastards done to deserve so much Suiren focus?!

 

[KenzeyEevee]

Sun and moon is so "amazing", isnt it? Why hating Brionne then?

Not necessarily. Having another trainer with a Brionne could be cover for it. Remember, when Brock's Mudkip evolved into Marshtomp, the Japanese title for the episode still have Mudkip's name in the title.

Sanpei basically proves that if another trainer appears with an evolved from of the existing Pokemon, the existing one can still evolve (I'd argue that evolved forms increase the chance of the Main character's Pokemon evolving: Pignite, Gliscor (?), Torterra, Froakie and Frogadier etc.)

 

[ManUtd22]

I think this episode for the Water Z Move. I am not sure, but I think that this episode will be for the trainning to perform the Water Z move, and that feeling came from the title

 

[JFrombaugh]

My original inkling was that Lana's Popplio would probably stay a Popplio the whole series, and that Primarina would be the signature Pokémon of a future rival - basically the Cameron or Sawyer of the Sun/Moon series.

Now that Lana has her own Z-Ring however, will Popplio evolve all the way and eventually master Oceanic Operetta? Only time will tell.

 

[ii kanji]

I was worried that Suiren and Ashimari would be the quiet/kind/boring pair of the series, but they have fairly quickly proved to be significant players. I'm now pretty confident that Ashimari will go all the way. I think Suiren is going to be one of the genuine battlers (whatever than means in SM LOL).

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

I hope Popplio stays a Briome with an everstone...
