June 21st: PM2019 025 - A Battle Festival Exploding With Life! VS Mega Lucario!!

I mean there will already be a whole bunch of Lucario pandering once Ash's Riolu evolves. Yes, but I don't want his eventual Lucario to have...another Lucario rival. There's over 900 critters to be rivals. It's like Ash totally missed a Charizard-only rivalry with Alain but things ended up...

Discuss.

Thanks for posting!

Blurb: Satoshi grins even as he sees Mega Lucario's power. What kind of plan does he have?!

I suppose since he knows about Mega Lucario he'd have a plan for dealing with it.

The Pokémon he currently has on hand are Kairyu and these 3: Gangar, Pikachu and Riolu. Aim to increase your rank through battle training and getting even more companions!

This seems to pretty much confirm Mimey was a temp.

Hmm, could that scene of him and Raboot in the rain be from here?

 

[DarkraiKnight]

This seems to pretty much confirm Mimey was a temp.

Which is a shame, since Mimey’s fighting style was so fun to watch and I’d love to see him battle more often. (In fact, his overall presence in the series has diminished as of late. Forget more Team Rocket; give us more Mimey, darn it!)

 

[Yami-no-Game]

Those air dates are meaningless right? Because the hiatus should still be in effect last I heard. It's hard to get excited for those episodes knowing that we won't be seeing them for a while.

Yeah, pretty sure those guys had no chance to edit that before this issue was released. I don't think they had any way of knowing the show would go on hiatus.

Also, poor Grookey's crying in the corner waiting for its chance to shine.

 

[Hidden Mew]

The hiatus was pretty much a last minute decision given that they still had a next episode preview. These magazine scans were planned well in advance to help hype up these episodes, so they most likely weren't able to remove them before the magazine was published. These episodes do sound interesting and I'm kind of glad that Mr. Mime isn't included as part of Ash's team lineup, but it's going to be awhile before the episodes air.

 

[JinksChow]

Wonder if Go is aiming to catch every form of a Pokemon as well... If that's the case, this would be an excellent opportunity to show off the 12 other patterns of Vivillon that didn't show up in the anime, as well as the White Flower Flabébé, which was the only form that never appeared on the anime.

Also, since this edition of Pokemon Fan would have come out after SS023, does it mean no one would have managed to catch Morpeko in its debut episode? Or was it ever confirmed that Morpeko would have debuted in SS023?

 

[Gabo2oo]

How is this a leak? It's an officially published magazine as far as I'm concerned

Morpeko already debuted in TW04

...come on, stop being obtuse. I'm talking about its main series debut here

It's my favourite kind of triangle...
In spite of understanding your point, we had only 10 galar pokémon (or something like that) shown so far. So when you say debut, I get vietnam flashbacks of all the ones that are still to come.
Meanwhile, I am almost 90% sure that Morpeko will be in the 23rd episode!

I'm a fan of isosceles myself

But yea, we've only had 10 Galar Pokemon debuts so far this series.

To quote myself from another thread:

Comparing the number of Pokemon species debuted in each series up to this point (first 22 episodes, including specials), using Bulbapedia as a reference (Mega Evolutions, Regional Variants, and Gigantamax Forms counted separately):

Original Series - 55
AG - 24
DP - 24
BW - 47
XY - 27 (+5 Mega Evolution)
SM - 34 (+8 Alolan)
SS - 10 (+4 Gigantamax)

(Note: Pokemon that debuted before the start of a series, such as Harrison's Blaziken, don't count, but tv debuts do count)

Part of the reason that AG, DP, and XY have lower numbers is because they all have had some of their Pokemon debut in the previous series.

As for SS, all we can say is that it has quite a bit of catching up to do, even if this hiatus had not happened...

By the way, AG would have been 2 lower if we only count current gen Pokemon, as Typhlosion and Flaaffy debuted in AG instead of during OS.

Edit: You can disregard this post. I managed to edit the title, but here was my original post for this comment:

How is this a leak? It's an officially published magazine as far as I'm concerned

I don't know. I guess I wasn't thinking of the best title possible. If a mod or admin feels like changing the title to something more appropriate, then be my guest. I'm still relatively new here, so I'm not sure if I'm able to change the title myself and even if I can, I honestly can't think of a better topic title.

 

[Jez]

I want a leak about the Team Rocket episode.... TT_TT a little picture or whatever, just a little something... Please...

 

[SammyW27]

I wonder if those other Kalos pokemon mean an other Kalos episode is int he works, or if Goh catches them all in the Ash vs. Korrina episode to pad it out...

Also...anyone else bothered by the lack of PM24 in that coverage? Are the TRio really THAT insignificant this series?

Come on, PokeFan! I know they kind of suck because of the Rockt Gatcha, but they're our ONLY source of antagonism now! I know OLM gets a sadistic pleasure out of spiting us who are in it for the villains, but this is a new low...

 

[Rocket Messiah]

I could not care less about Go catching sprees.

Why someone would? Those Pokemon do nothing are almost filler. Yeah I know about episode 23 but can you call that a development episode? And episode that is more centered in the place (The lab) than in the Pokemon.

What about Team Rocket? They deserve some respect, without Team Rocket there is no series. Think of that.

About the Pokemon World Tournament: Im okay with Ash advancing ranks now, he is fightng with strong Pokemon, the fact is that since this is tournament use a ranking system I'm sure at some point Ash will have a series of defeats that will be interesting to see how he reacts to that. Since at gyms or trials he can ask for a rematch but this is different.

 

[Sobble Bubble-O-Seven]

Topic title changed to be more appropriate.

Also, I have a prediction concerning Sobble. The blurb states that battling might be impossible for it. If Ash gets Sobble and tries to get it to battle in some PWT matches, maybe this Sobble loses a few or a couple of times, resulting in Ash going down the rankings? If this happens, we might see some character development with this Pokemon where it could either get so upset that it no longer wants to battle and take interest in something else or it feels so bad that it wants to keep at it to show Ash that it can battle, potentially triggering an evolution and then showing its true power. I don't know, I just felt like throwing out a prediction.

This is interesting. I think this is how the team dynamic is going when Sobble joins the Team
Dragonite: The caretaker
Riolu: The jerk (But when it evolves into Lucario, it takes Sobble under its wing and helps it to become stronger)
Gengar: The guardian

 

[Nicolas721]

I knew something seemed weird with Go's Kalos Pokémon: they all belong to different biomes, Binacle to beaches, Flabébé to gardens, etc. Hopefully they are caught in a montage and not during several scenes.

Also, with this cover being released along with PokeFan info it seems unlikely that the "Raihan Arc" will start later than SS028.

 

[KrspaceT]

Anyone know how the Japanese fans view Go's sprees. They have a bit more influence than we do...though hey Netflix might have the influence to actually do something if they can go 'Hey the metrics on these episodes are bad while the Ash episodes make Daredevil look like Water World' or something
