Preview JN009: The Promise We Made that Day! The Houou Legend of the Johto Region!!

[Silktree]

It's a good thing that we have the art, too. Since when does one preview give complete information? Even if that one wing flies away, another one could show up because we know that Ash will get one.

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

Well, Ash could get one but I’m not going by the assumption that Ash will 100% get one, since I’m rather sceptical about taking a single piece of art as gospel.

 

[Silktree]

Please point out which one of the previous artworks meant "absolute jackshit".

 

[Lightning Flame Blast]

Oh my god, that old Hoothoot is so freaking adorable

 

[Daren]

Honestly, I still think even with the wing blowing away in the trailer that Ash will receive one by the end of the episode.

 

[L-05308]

No Morty or Eusine... as expected. This is the series that’ll never really contradict continuity but never make use of continuity while doing everything it can to tease continuity.

 

[SammyW27]

^sigh^
Yep...no Johto characters...

I keep telling myself that getting old characters' VAs back is too much trouble...but it still hurts.
(Thanks Arceus Lance is coming back in PM12)

To add insult to injury, the TRio are gone again in an episode that really looks like it could use them.

 

[MarshiyanMisutaa]

I hope they'll use some interesting illusions.

 

[Almonds]

I'm looking forward to this episode :3

 

[Kurolegacy]

So seeing as the writers seem hell bent on giving Go at least one capture per episode, which Pokémon do you think he gets this time? I’m guessing Stantler and Hoothoot.

 

[BigDocFan]

I'm thinking Sentret

Was hoping he might get Cyndaquil but it probably belongs to the boy

As much as I love the Rocket trio, this is one of the few episodes of this series so far that looks interesting enough without them.

 

[Yami-no-Game]

This is an episode about Ash and Go helping a Cotd so I'm not seeing what's so interesting about it. For sure the fact that Ho-Oh might appear is nice but it will most likely be a short appearance and if Ash doesn't recognize Ho-Oh outright there's going to be hell to pay.

 

[Shadowlarvitar]

He doesn't need one
Ash and Dawn already have one, bad enough we get a freaking Eevee every saga now....

Just Sentret. Stantler and Misdreavus seem to belong to the boy, while Hoothoot belongs to the grandfather.

Second preview of the episode:

Isn’t it the same?

 

[Silktree]

It's slightly reordered.

 

[Daren]

Gou: "I want to catch Ho-oh."

Who the hell does this kid think he is?

A time displaced Tobias.

Seriously if anyone catches Ho-oh (BIG if) it should be Ash after it kept appearing to him.

 

[Silktree]

Raids are a thing now, so all sorts of trainers can attempt to catch legendaries even if they don't stand a chance. Go will probably become more humble as time goes on.
