Preview HZ028: The Stolen Treasure

[Sakuraa]

PLEASE be an actual Roy focused episode. I'm dying to see more focus on him.

 

[Jack DeBoer]

Who's Tepan?

Who's Tepan?

A new character, no one's seen him yet.

Okay good to know.

 

[Poke Trey]

Wonder how this guy will look like... we could possibly have a recurring one on our hands.

Summary courtesy of Dephender at Serebii

Liko, Roy and Friede stop by an antique shop run by Diana's acquaintance Tepen where they hope they might learn something about the ancient monster balls, though Tepen claims to not know anything... However, as they're about to return to the ship, Roy's ancient monster ball is suddenly gone! It can't possible have been stolen...?!

I'm pretty sure this is the Greedent episode we saw from the big preview, but I can't help but wonder why a presumably CotD type Tepen is mentioned by name in the summaries.

Twitter already confirmed that’s this week’s episode.

Also, COTDs get mentioned in summaries all the time. It’s nothing new.

 

[SammyW27]

Jeez, writers. Bad enough we have the Explorers to deal with without evil COTDs after these things too!

Why not just throw in Team Skull, the TRio, Hunter J, and Brody while we're at it?
(though a lot of people would like that)

I actually just watched that big preview for the first time today (I think the thumbnail confused me when I first saw it, I thought it was something older or whatever.) And I gotta say, once again it's just sad how little focus Journeys gave to the Galar region, truly. Because based on this preview, now it seems we're getting better focus on yet another group of Galar Pokemon, this time Greedent and Skovet, than we ever did with Goh's.

 

[Eitarou]

...Goh's Greedent literally had a focus episode all to itself.

 

[Poke Trey]

At least Greedent is getting another shot at redemption here.

Turns out that was from HZ027, not HZ028

Maybe the Explorers have become desperate enough to resort to hiring thieves, mercenaries, and bounty hunters to go after the Rising Volt Tacklers' loot? But still, no honor among thieves.

Definite proof that there was something wrong with Journeys when the following series Horizons does a better job of promoting SwSh (and not just because of the production issues and the COVID-19 pandemic). And likely PLA as well, given Lucius' Kleavor.

I'm guessing Hatenna was sensing bad vibes off that dude based on the purple aura from her POV.

 

[Articfoxgamez]

Defenintly just a fun side episode with no plot relevance in the end but I'm fine with some of those.

 

[Nicolas721]

This is definitely a filler, though Im intrigued as to who Tepen might be contacting.

Would have been nice to see Sinistea and Polteagist but I guess Honedge and Lampent are rarely seen too.

 

[Karakuri18]

This is definitely a filler,

There are no fillers in HZ.
Each episode leads to the next one, so this one will definitely have an impact on the plot as well.

 

[Articfoxgamez]

There are no fillers, yet. And even then some episodes only lead into the next one at the very end (I wouldn't call it filler but HZ19 for example only connected to the next episode because Kabu showed up in the end. Didn't really have anything to do with the rest of the episode).
Same can happen here, they mention where they are going next at the very end of the episode and thats about the only way it leads to the next.

 

[Poke Trey]

There hasn't been any fillers and so far, even this week's episode is just more of this with the explorers and further progress on the RVT's development.
