Preview HZ040: Farewell, Nyahoja?

[Articfoxgamez]

Just please tell me Spriggy will get SOMETHING out this! Fuecoco and friggin' Hattena have gotten new moves lately, while Spriggy hasn't gotten jack despite being around the longest.

Her spamming Leafage and bleep Scratch is seriously getting OLD.

I can live without an evolution, but for Arceus' sake at least give her a 4th move already...

Bold to assume getting a new move means it will be used (Fuecoco still barely uses flamethrower)

 

[Sakuraa]

Though I'd rather see focus episodes for some of the lesser used Pokémon, a backstory episode for Sprigatito sounds interesting.

 

[Kurolegacy]

What are the odds that the RVT are in the exact area that the breeder that Sprigatito came from is?

 

[ehh123]

The premise is actually good despite the overused departure fakeout.

Sprigatito feeling bad and running away because she accidentally hurt Liko is kinda heartbreaking.

Yeah, it could be really emotional if done right.

 

[Weddingbells]

A bit odd this is causing them a rift considering sprig has scratched liko atleast twice before lol

Also idk I don't think there bond feels fleshed out enough to warrant a fake release episode yet

I think the issue is that sprig and liko don't really DO anything together.

Roy and fuecoco sing and battle

Quaxly and dot make videos together and he was probably the first one she trusted with her nothing secret

Cap and friede leade the rvts together and cap is his right hand man, heck even the captain himself

Liko and sprig......?

At most she carries it around until it throws another jealous fit that ultimately leads nowhere

How?

Sprigatito only scratched Liko in the early episodes, and that was mainly because she kept trying to touch it before they established a bond. Sprigs is a cat. They don’t like being approached by strangers and often react with violence if you pester them.

Intentionally scratching at a stranger you barely know and hurting someone you actually care about are two completely different scenarios.

Also, the summary specifies that this happened during battle practice, meaning that unlike when she got scratched in the early episodes, Liko was probably hit with an actual move.

 

[Dr. Gro 3001]

If nothing else, the summary makes it seem like Sprigatito didn't mean to attack Liko.

 

[1rkhachatryan]

I don't think Sprigatito will actually attack Liko, I think it might happen like Roy calls for a move, Liko calls for Sprigatito to dodge it and the move accidently hits Liko and Sprigatito will feel guilty for dodging the move and her getting hit. The clue here comes that Liko says it isn't her fault where as even if she hit Liko with a move accidently it would be her fault regardless of intent.

Unless something else happens like a Draco Meteor and Piplup situation where Sprigatito uses a new move but can't control it and it goes towards Liko.

In case you were wondering, February 22 is “Cat Day” in Japan, which explains everything.

Also, Sneasel was confirmed to be a cat like three years ago,, so Weavile being here isn’t a mistake.

I did wonder why Weavile was there, it didn't strike me as being a cat

 

[Poke Trey]

Forest of Sprigatito episode confirmed looks like.

 

[WatcherMark]

Forest of Sprigatito episode confirmed looks like.

Except it isn't. It's clearly a house of cat-based Pokemon.

 

[Twilight-Kun]

Oh good, another episode that's going to be 70% flashbacks and ends with them reuniting

At least that means the animators can take a break and save their energy for bigger episodes

I'm more confused about Trubbish honestly.

 

[Dr. Gro 3001]

@Articfoxgamez Trubbish's ears do look vaguely catlike, but I agree. Trubbish, as a cat, is a big reach.

Just as long as there aren't any musical numbers...

 

[Kurolegacy]

Judging by the bandage on Liko’s hand, this injury really seems pretty minor which makes Sprigatito’s reaction of leaving feel like a pretty big overreaction and pretty melodramatic.

 

[Articfoxgamez]

It's far worse than the injuries pokemon normally leave trainers in this show thats for sure. (Even sprigatito's scratches at the start of the show never actually left a mark or anything)

 

[Poke Trey]

Leaving an literal and emotional mark on her....

I think Ash would beg to differ after being electrocuted and char-broiled by Pikachu and Charizard, respectively, about half a thousand times.
