Unless the preview lied and Saito would use different Pokemon, besides Kairiki.
I would have preferred if they didn't show anything and left the guessing game last longer.
I agree with you regarding Saito, however I was talking about the comparison between Alan and Dande.
Saito is just mandated by the plot, that defines her strength and appearances.
Outside of that, she's just a generic obstacle.
That only applies to those who did get the Mega Evolution Specials, which were left out by some subbers and dubbers.
That was a cameo, doesn't count.
Whether she appeared or not wouldn't have changed anything.
The anime could drop Saito, via hand-waving, and nothing would be lost.
Actually, the PWC may improve due to not having the burden that it is this forced 'rivalry'.
At this point, I am starting to think that both Shuuti and Kotetsu were better rivals to Satoshi than her.
Rinto didn't take such a long break.
And still he was a bit more fleshed out.
I wouldn't mind having him as a rival if we were in past/another series, but since this is Journeys I doubt that they'd develop it adequately.
They are just dragging it, forcing a 'rivalry' that shouldn't have existed in the first place.
Saito doesn't have any essence or depth as a character.
She's almost as lifeless and insipid as the props that are Gou's captures.
I will skip this episode due to two characters that I don't care...
