Preview JN010: The Kairyu Paradise and Hakuryu's Ordeal!

Quick question

How many of the images they show in the poster have been shown in the series?

A few things on the poster have been represented, though generally somewhat vaguely:
*We saw Ash and Gou ride Lugia but it was much different in the show (Gou's on it's back and Ash on it's tail in the poster, in the show they both rode it's back)
*We have an episode with a Piplup and a Croagunk.
*We have an episode with Snorlax.

And we will have the Gengar at Sakuragi in two weeks...

Well maybe there is hope and there is a Mommy Dragonite for Team Rocket we will find this Saturday

 

[Daenerys]

I really hope that the Dragonite x Meowth thing isn't actually gonna be a returning plot point and that it'll only be used here. I don't think I could stand a Bewear clone messing with TRio.

I'd rather not have another OP joke character like Bewear, but I'd be fine with a Dragonite following TR if it does something different.

 

[Rocket Messiah]

Wanna know why I liked Bewear? Specially at the beginning of SM

1- It Was original
2- It made Team Rocket look more powerfull since they were not always defeated, in some episodes they get the job done and Bewear was the one who saved the day instead
3-Defeated by Bewear retreat is less humiliating than blasting off

 

[Silktree]

The poster also shows a Cyndaquil and Hoothoot around the Tin Tower, representing the next episode (same for Ho-Oh, even if the real one doesn't appear yet). There's no doubt that the Meowth-loving Dragonite will appear at some point.

 

[Lightning Flame Blast]

To be fair, Dragonite is powerful by default, is extremely fast and can both fly and swim. At least it would be more logical if it were to pull Bewear stunts every now and then.

Right, I think everything on the poster will appear somehow, even if it isn't always what people initially thought (it wasn't Dawn and Brock's Piplup and Croagunk, there's a good chance it won't be Ash's Greninja).

 

[Rocket Messiah]

BTW I guess we will have a Dragonite double feature since it will probably be Lance main Pokémon against Leon

 

[Silktree]

I really think that Lance should make his series debut here, but I'm not holding my breath. It's possible since a lot of episode synopses in this series just focus on the Pokemon initially (we didn't even know that young Go would be so prevalent in the first episode).

 

[SammyW27]

I really think that Lance should make his series debut here, but I'm not holding my breath.

Or at least Clair.
Heck, any Dragon-type expert would be welcome (I'd even be happy to see Iris back at this point)

[Rocket Messiah]

I will grab anything ANYTHING just give me Rocket Dragonite

 

[Daren]

Team Rocket, as I expected. That gives them a...30% appearance rate, I think.

Also, they're referencing two different Dragonite dex entries here, which is a nice touch.

 

[BigDocFan]

I'll be curious to see what Pokemon emerge from the Rocket Gachat this episode if they use it

 

[Rocket Messiah]

I think we should made a Guess the Team Rocket Gacthat game thread we might have some fun atleast

I think they will send in this episode:

Jessie: Rypherior, Steelix or Dusknoir

James: Exploud, Barbaracle or Gigalith

 

[Jez]

Oh my God YES the Team Rocket TRio are here! TT_TT I hope that the Dragonite which takes Meowth on the poster prevents the Team Rocket from continuing to use the gacha since the activation requires the Koban of Meowth. It’s my biggest hope, please Dragonite stop the gacha.

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

Will Go capture a Dragonite or try to do so?

 

[BigDocFan]

Will Go capture a Dragonite or try to do so?

We know he is catching a Dewgong, I would prefer him to get Dratini and work his way from their

 

[Daren]

Will Go capture a Dragonite or try to do so?

He might try but I doubt they'd let him catch a fully evolved psuedo so early on.
