Preview JN003: Fushigisou, Isn't it Mysterious?

[JeoDude]

So far not really excited for this episode. Maybe the preview will change my thoughts.

Two things can make this episode interesting for me:

• A reference to Ash's Bulbasaur
• Go getting a Bulbasaur after rescuing it from Team Rocket

 

[BigDocFan]

Will be interesting if this episode features the return of the Mysterious Garden from Original Series

I just hope the episode doesn't turn out to be a repeat

Personally, I don’t care of Matori. I don’t like her because of the bad memories of Best Wishes

Matori is a great character, she was great in Sun and Moon becoming a strong rival for Team Rocket

 

[Shadowlarvitar]

Team Rocket are here to save my interest in this episode!

I don't mind too much what the they do this series, as long as they show up more than the abysmal 57.5% figure of SM.

Same. 75% is the least it should be

Matori is a great character, she was great in Sun and Moon becoming a strong rival for Team Rocket

In what way was she a great character? Did she have an original personality, story or role? I'm really not sure personally.

I also don't see how she could become a rival for the TRio when she was essentially a boss of theirs. She was a thorn in their sides, no doubt, but I don't think she ever considered them anything more than an underperforming nuisance.

I think this episode will really be our first look into whether or not this series will be continuity-heavy or if it will pull an I Choose You! and evoke feelings of nostalgia without actually committing to it. If the title includes references to a "Mysterious Garden" but there's no reference to EP051 then I think a lot of us are in for disappointment moving forward. Not that this episode is definite proof of anything, but it could be an early look at what exactly this series will be like.

And as for Matori, she was decently interesting in Sun&Moon but I'd much rather see the return of Yamato and Kosaburo.

I'd take 57.5% over another early BW fiasco, but otherwise yeah.

I'd take 57.5% over another early BW fiasco, but otherwise yeah.

Whilst of course the two can never be compared in the qualities that matter, you know what's really tragic? BW's anime's TRio spawn rate was 57.7%... That's right, 0.2% more than SM!

Personally, I don’t care of Matori. I don’t like her because of the bad memories of Best Wishes

I don't like her, period. There's nothing about her that makes me excited to see her appear in any episode and I'm still salty that she was introduced so late into the series. Like, if she had been Giovanni's secretary from the start of OS or around that time, then maybe I would've grown to like her.

 

[Shadowlarvitar]

They just need to bring back Biff and Cassidy. Those are actual proper rivals for the trio, Matori.... she's just Giovanni's secretary. I'd much rather have Archer, Giovanni's right hand man in the games have a role over her, she's just... boring.

So Team Rocket debuts in PM003, nice, now I'm trying to figure it out which 8th gen Pokemon fit them.

The preview was all too brief for my liking, and 4 - 5 seconds was wasted just showing Pikachu at the start

 

[KenzeyEevee]

I dont think any interesting is going to happen here

 

[BigDocFan]

I dont think any interesting is going to happen here

Have to agree, feels to much like a reuse of Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden!

Here is the first full preview of the episode:

 

[BigDocFan]

Was just about to post the video, my impression has changed as the episode seems to focus on Ivysaur more

 

[Pulsaro23]

Okay, there's something that's kinda bothering me about this episode: why did they change Officer Jenny's design? Like, I'd understand if this was Galar and they had to come up with a new, original design for her... But this is Kanto. They already had a pre-established (and pretty iconic) design for her in this region. So why change it for something else? It's just weird and I really don't understand why they've done it.
