I honestly can't make heads or tails out of the preview.

Team Rocket taking down Aaron's Pokemon like he's some new trainer off the street didn't look right.
And Ledian, I hope its a random bug Pokemon, as much as it's nice, I would like them to stick to the games. Though seeing Vespiquen in the episode is a plus. And Skorupi.

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

...that's kind of odd. He *looks* for all the world like he should be Ash's age, but he's taller than Brock.

 

[Musashi]

Here's a better picture of Skorupi.

I'm not sure what to think of this episode. Ryo looks way too young, and seeing his pokemon get beat up was really weird too. Should be an interesting episode at least.

 

[Snake Bandage]

Aaron looks just as he's supposed to, I think. I mean, he's like the world's biggest twink, to the point where he makes James look his age.

That said, I adore Aaron and I'm so happy about his appearance~!

 

[Ino-Chan]

Well, I think he seems a little too young, but from the preview pics I have seen, it looks okay. I do like how he has a Ledian, and how it may go a little back into his childhood (From the pic with him holding Wurmple).

 

[QuietDragon]

I think he looks just right too. His sprite made him look pretty young~

D'aww~

Wonder what's his "past" deal? Should be a fun episode anyway~

 

[Snake Bandage]

I forgot to ask! Does anyone know who's going to voice him?

 

[Maxim Posthumus]

OMG! Ryou really looks girly!

 

[Kairyu]

Looks really good for being Takeda, I can't see anything totally off-model this time.

 

[Electivirus]

Still though...ew, Takeda.

 

[Cybersai]

lolol he DOES look like a girl. I think its the eyes.

 

[NoodleChefKyle]

Is that Ledian his too? I didn't see that coming at all.

Aww, Skorupi looks so much cuter in anime format!

 

[Casual_Furi]

The anime seems to have a penchant for making Scorpians huggably cute.

That last one never gets old.

 

[JB88]

I agree Skorupi does look cute. Good to see a Ledian too. And Vespiquen? Impressive.

Is it me, or are Bug-pokemon trainers are not that old? Bugsy was quite young, and was mistaken for a girl in the manga, and here Aaron's eyes make him look like a girl. He does look young though. I guess maybe this is why he's the first Elite to beat?

 

[Raves]

The very fact that Aaron's better looking with his hair messed up is damn worrying.

Now I shall have to skin a kitten and eat it's eyeballs to counter 'teh gai' comments aimed at me...

 

[Nando]

Aaron looks....bad.

I'm not getting a good feeling out of this.

 

[The Jean Genie]

I don't know why they start to bring in the Elite Four into the series now, when they never really did in the past.

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

Sure they did. It was just spread out over more time.

 

[Etebossu]

I don't know why they start to bring in the Elite Four into the series now, when they never really did in the past.

Bruno, Lorelei[Prima], Lance, and Drake sit in the corner and cry

Just because Cynthia and Aaron are/have been/being featured doesn't mean they are the only ones
