Sounds like she's the gym leader of a new city. This gives me some hope of finding new places to explore in BW2.

Yeah, most probably it will be called Tachiwaki City/Town... No confirmation though.

We've already seen two new cities in south-western Unova. This doesn't mean that there are any others, because it is probable that Homika is the second gym leader in B2W2. We know that the episode before this two-parter will take place in a port city, so it is only reasonable to assume that Tachiwaki is the new port city in south-western Unova.

Oh wow.

So Ash WILL battle Homika for his eight gym badge? I'm looking forward to the battle since Homika should have some interesting Pokémon - I wouldn't want Ash to win his eight badge against a Koffing, that's really laughable. But what I'm more interested in, is the fact that the whole Drayden stuff is left for Iris and her development and unavoidable closure before BW finishes. I'm assuming that they'll head towards Opelucid after finishing Eastern Unova business where Iris's story will take place.

After that - they'll most likely head for the Unova league.

So, Homika is confirmed as the eighth Unova Gym Leader Ash faces. Maybe he earns more than eight badges? I wonder which Pokémon she will use besides Koffing and have high hopes for Scolipede and other (evolved) Poison-types from previous generations.

Just because Ash battles Homika for his eighth Badge doesn't mean he wins.
Agreed. The writers left themselves a lot of latitude here.

...It's a two-parter... One-hour special... with a Poison-type Gym Leader... Who owns a Koffing... That could potentially evolve... Into Weezing...

I really hope my keyboard is waterproof, because I'm drooling just thinking about these episodes.

B-b-but... what ever happened to the Iris/Drayden battle I've always wanted too see? T-T

Nobody's saying that won't happen. Frankly, I don't give a Raticate's ass about Drayden at the moment. A one-hour special two-part episode featuring my new favorite Gym Leader using the pre-evolution of my favorite Pokémon? With the ever-present possibility that said Pokémon can possibly evolve in the middle of one of these episodes? Yes freakin' please!
