DP38 title

[PPK]

Title of DP38 is: 爆誕！サイクリングロード！！

(Revelation / Explosive Birth! Cycling Road!!)

Air date: 21 June.

It seems that no episode will be aired on 28 June due to a 2-hour TV Champion Special.

 

[Habunake]

Happiny.

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

There's that "Revelation" vs "Explosive Birth" translation again.

 

[PPK]

Yes, probably.

 

[Zhen Lin]

I don't see how 爆誕 translates as revelation.

 

[QuietDragon]

I can only think of movie two. xD;

 

[Doctor Oak]

I wonder if they'll go to Wayward Cave since they're taking the cycling road....

 

[Cybersai]

It'll be interesting to compare this cycling road episode to the original Kanto one, will they do the same thing? They went back to cycling road in one of Battle Frontier's episodes, but we only saw it at the very end.

 

[Pie]

I'm excited at the idea of it being Happiny, but I'm a little baffled when trying to think of how that would be explosive.

 

[Cybersai]

Can Happiny learn Explosion?

 

[Pie]

Psh, not even close.

Happiny can learn Charm, Pound, Copycat, Refresh and Sweet Kiss.

Egg moves (which are not entirely out of the question I guess) are Aromatherapy, Counter, Gravity, Heal Bell, Helping Hand, Last Resort, Metronome, Present (ehh... maybe? Too much of a long shot...) and Substitute.

Its evolutions learn Egg Bomb, but I don't think that's how they hatch their eggs. D:

We say the same thing in English. Something that's big or done with a lot of fanfare is said to be "explosive."

Not really in this context, though, do we? Maybe an explosive battle, but not really an explosive egg hatching...

So... would "exciting" make more sense than "explosive", maybe? *scritches head*

 

[Kasumi]

Oh noes, Happiny's egg is going to asplode!

*shot*

 

[Zhen Lin]

爆誕 is the exact phrase they used in M2. It's a pun on 爆弾, bomb. (Why they decided on that, I have no idea. Where does the concept of birth come in M2?) 爆 itself means to burst. The word for explosion is 爆発.

 

[Habunake]

HEY!

What happened to the episode on the 14th? If this is DP 38, it means it comes after the Gardenia Gym which is on the 7th??

Obviously, this episode is about Carnivine exploding into millions of mini-Vines.

 

[Zeta]

I find it hilarious they're referencing of using the practice of cycling on Cycling Roads to hatch eggs - since you don't even need to touch the pad for halfway of the trip.

 

[Habunake]

From what I could make out of a post on Pokeani, apparently as they head to a Pokecenter a storm hits and it looks like their bikes rust and they fall (off?)?

 

[FabuVinny]

I wonder if Ash will learn that Dawn had a bike...

 

[Habunake]

I'm starting to think maybe they'll have a 1-2 episode mini-arc with the Wayward Cave, if falling off the road is true since that's under it.
