Preview JN143: Riding on Laplace♪

[FinnishPokéFan92]

Scheduled to air on February 24.

 

[BigDocFan]

Ash reunited with Lapras, this sounds very promising

 

[Emmy]

Ayy, that’s one thing checked off on my bingo list.

 

[Rockapheller]

That gives me the vibes of one of the worst fillers in the entire anime series, A.K.A. DP109.

 

[Eitarou]

Why is Ash yet again meeting a 'mon he's already reunited with when there are several ones that haven't appeared since they were released?

 

[BigDocFan]

That gives me the vibes of one of the worst fillers in the entire anime series, A.K.A. DP109.

And let's not forget the trapped Wailmer from SM031

 

[Audino1008]

Should've been Marshtomp instead of Wailmer smh

 

[marshiyanmisuta]

At least give us Tracey...

That gives me the vibes of one of the worst fillers in the entire anime series, A.K.A. DP109.

This is NOT the DP fanservice I wanted.

 

[cricketlaxwolvesbandy]

Lapras!

 

[Blazzore]

If the Wailmer stuck in a hole in the cave and is a wild Pokémon, Just throw a poke ball at it and release it far away from the cave.

A very simple and easy solution to the problem.

Why is Ash yet again meeting a 'mon he's already reunited with when there are several ones that haven't appeared since they were released?

Most likely because it's still been almost 1000 episodes since Ash last met Lapras.

 

[nickdt]

I smell a Glalie cameo coming...


Also yeah... Lapras

Also: PIDGEOT AND PRIMEAPE WHEN?

 

[Emelie]

Why give Butterfree a one second cameo but spend an entire episode on Lapras? They try to appeal to us Genwunners but do they even know what we are truly nostalgic about? Personally I think Butterfree is more iconic than Lapras.

Also starting to worry about the human companions not returning. Must all the focus be on Gen 1 nostalgia and random Pokémon?

 

[Okido]

Oh hey, the title of this episode (ラプラスにのって♪ / Lapras ni Notte♪) is probably a reference to the ending song of the very same name. That's kinda cute, I wonder if it'll be used here.

Anyway, this one sounds like it'll be more low-stakes fun, so I'm interested at least. Pretty wild that there's only four more titles left that haven't been revealed yet.

 

[Eitarou]

Most likely because it's still been almost 1000 episodes since Ash last met Lapras.

...that applies to the Pokemon I just mentioned too. Even more so for Pidgeot and Primeape, who haven't appeared since before the new millenium.

 

[Die-Hard Dragon Devotee]

Why is Ash yet again meeting a 'mon he's already reunited with when there are several ones that haven't appeared since they were released?

Maybe because this means Lapras will finally officially rejoin Ash, instead of just a meet-and-greet?

 

[BigDocFan]

I wonder if they'll try the simple option of catching it in a Poke Ball, getting Wailmer out of the cave and releasing it back into the wild

 

[SammyW27]

Hmmm...

One one hand, I like the idea of our heroes reuniting with Larpas...

But on the other, I wish it wasn't about helping a stuck Pokemon (it's been done. And not very well at that)....

 

[Die-Hard Dragon Devotee]

But on the other, I wish it wasn't about helping a stuck Pokemon (it's been done. And not very well at that)....

They could redeem that by having Lapras rejoin Ash for good (Honestly, it's what I'm hoping for most from this episode, and since Ash already reunited with Lapras back in Johto, why have him just reunite with it again for a hi/bye thing, especially so close to the end of Ash's time as the main character? )

 

[BNSF1995]

If Ash is reuniting with Lapras, does this mean we're going back to the Orange Islands?

Maybe now we'll finally learn what went down between Brock and Professor Ivy.
