DP 20 Title

[Quagbert]

From Pokeani:

[bp]DP020[/bp]: ポケモンハンターJ！ Pokémon Hunter J!; airs February 22.

 

[Doctor Oak]

Vague Title Ahoy!

Reeks of filler, and probably a Poacher filler.

Like there haven't been squillions of those already.

 

[Jukain]

An ep based on one of D/P's new trainer classes, I presume.

I'm not familiar with those, what is this about?

 

[Lucifer Angel]

seconded what the above poster said?

 

[Snake Bandage]

Hahah, Pokemon Hunter J? Now I can't help but imagine the titular character of Heat Guy J as a Pokemon trainer.

Really, it does sound like a catchy title for a Pokemon spin-off... and anyway, what's up with the titles lately? They're all so uncharacteristically short.

 

[Habunake]

This episode airs 2 weeks after the Pachirisu episode, btw.

Sounds...exciting!

POKEMON HUNTAA J, YOSH!

 

[Lexus]

Hunter? We have Pokemon Rangers and Pokemon Trainers and Pokemon Breeders but no Pokemon Hunters...it seems interesting.

 

[Habunake]

J = Jupiter?

 

[Dratini927]

Sounds like something you'd find in the Pokemon games. "Pokemon Hunter J would like to battle!"

 

[Jukain]

^That's what I meant.

 

[Dratini927]

Err, whoops. XD Sorry Scep, I guess I glanced over your post and read it wrong or forgot you mentioned that as I was writing my post.

 

[Argy]

If this ends in the departure of one or more of Team Rocket's Pokémon, I swear...

 

[Jo-Jo]

J WILL END UP WITH HIKARI!!!

It's rare for a CotD to have their name in the episode title, isn't it? Are there 'Pokemon Hunters' in the games?

 

[Snake Bandage]

If this ends in the departure of one or more of Team Rocket's Pokémon, I swear...

Oh god no. D= Who's more vulnerable to getting kicked the hell off the show, Cacnea or Dustox...?

 

[Zeta]

I sense a Vampire Hunter D parody.

Who's more vulnerable to getting kicked the hell off the show, Cacnea or Dustox

Dustox obviously, since it's never used.

 

[Cybersai]

Dustox lost its purpose on the show when May left Beautifly behind, since the whole reason Jessie had it in the first place was to be a rival to May's Pokemon.

I wouldn't be surprised if this episode turns out to be "A Poached Ego" of D/P.

If that's the case, Seviper, Cacnea and Dustox are saying, "Buh Bye!"

All of them?! Seriously. Then James will have more Pokemon than Jessie and that is unacceptable. And what's Jessie without a snake Pokemon? Blasphemy, that's what!

...ugh, Jessie does need to lose a Pokemon if they want her to advertise D/P properly like the rest of the main characters, though, and I bet they do. For some reason, the image of Skunpoo keeps popping into my head...

 

[Habunake]

I'm going into Crazy Impregnable Spectulation Mode and say "J" is Jupiter. And I will not move from this till the end.

Masukippa kinda has taken Cacnea's thunder though...

 

[Cybersai]

Its hard to imagine what the writers will do with TR's Pokemon. All the other main characters have places to store their old Pokes, and Ash/Brock started off AG and D/P fresh.

TR on the other hand came to Hoenn with Arbok/Weezing, and they got the boot. Now they came to Shinou with last-gen Seviper, Cacnea and Dustox...and who knows how long they'll last.

It makes more sense to release all three together rather than getting rid of one at a time. So if the writers feel the need to give Jessie a new D/P Poke, it may be the end for them, and Cacnea has lost its thunder for the moment.
