Preview JN016: Cursed Satoshi...!

[Egakor]

Reminder that neither one of the Rotom Pokedexes is going to show up, making a capture unlikely.

Ash's Rotom Phone didn't say anything when he caught Dragonite. So that's not a good reason to remove the possibility of Ash catching Gengar.

Fair enough. I still maintain that Ash befriending a Pokemon that has just cursed him would be silly.

 

[SammyW27]

Oh great, Zenisetsu from Demon Slayer is here...-_-

 

[Silktree]

Could you point which of these antagonistic Pokemon Ash caught? And to me it seems that Gengar wants to curse Ash to be someone else, which is going a bit too far for attention.

As for the promotion thing, Jigglypuff says hi.

 

[Daren]

Could you point which of these antagonistic Pokemon Ash caught?

Primeape and arguably Tailow, at least.

 

[Silktree]

Nowhere near comparable. Gengar is actively putting people's lives in danger.

Corphish off the top of my head.

Also;

Spoiler: Do these two look familiar to anybody or is it just me?

 

[Knightwolf09]

Honestly looking at the preview I think one scene when that couple is standing before Ash, I think in the same scene Gengar shows up threatening them with a Shaow Ball. I think those two were picking on Ash and Gengar defended him.

 

[Lightning Flame Blast]

So you're saying Gengar is going to be Ash's third traveling companion for this series?

That’s actually a neat idea for a fanfic

I guess all recurring characters should just stop existing. She easily has more potential than her dad, who keeps appearing for minor stuff. She is shown traveling in the opening and it's time to explain what that is about.

1. Ash's Rotom phone does not have a unique va like Go's does, and probably will never be listed because the va is listed for someone with precedence. so it can still appear in this episode. And if i am wrong, we at least do not know its va.

2. I'm not saying Koharu should never show up. But unless it serves a point, and there's no reason to, why needlessly bring her in? How about only when its a big interaction between the characters or actually focused on her, why bring her in just to say some line that equates to "where do I go to pick up my paycheck for the episode?" I mean it would mean more if she had importance or contributed in some way, which is hard to do when she doesn't know whst she wants to do? So that leaves interaction, and so far none of the episodes warranted an interaction. except maybe the Cubone episode which properly took place in Vermillion City. There could have been a quick Koharu interacting with Ash scene instead of mostly focusing on Go.

In this episode it seems needless to bring her in, especially since it appears that Yamper isn't here, though it could be.

Nowhere near comparable. Gengar is actively putting people's lives in danger.

Its because none of those other pokemon are Gengar with Gengar's pokedex entries

Primape activity assaulted Ash over a hat and went on a rampage upon evolving. Even after capturing it, the first thing it did after Ash let it out of its ball was to punch him.

I'm fairly positive its voice is the same as the narrator's.

It most likely is, I'm just pointing out it hasn't been stated yet.

Though I don't know how VAs are listed for roles, when they are listed for something more important.

Like how do we come to know that Rica voiced anything other than Satoshi for example.

What if we are all overlooking another possibility: What if Gengar isn't a capture, since it doesn't want to be caught (It just wants friends) and just becomes a permanent resident for the lab.

Well do note a pokemon has to give consent if it wants to tag along with them. Being caught just makes things easier following them around. Plus it seems Gengar is more fond of Ash than the lab residents.

 

[Daenerys]

I never noticed it before because most Gengar are pranksters but this Gengar seems unusually aggressive in this episode. I know that y'all want Ash to catch it but to me it's like the antithesis of everything Ash stands for.

 

[Daren]

I'm sort of divided. I like Gengar and think Ash having to reform a genuinely malicious Pokémon could be unique and interesting, as sort of a flip of him helping Chimchar get over it's trauma (Primeape was turned really quickly and wasn't really that interesting as a result).

On the other hand for a series focusing on the whole world Ash's party is already 50% Kanto. Unless he gets more than six Pokémon this series that's already very high.

 

[RileyXY1]

I think that Gou will catch Gengar.

 

[Rath]

I think that Gou will catch Gengar.

His Rotom Phone isn't in the cast list.

 

[ShadowZone1996]

If Ash gets Gengar then I'm convinced the writing staff or The Pokemon Company must be kicking themselves over the fact that they got rid of the Haunter from season 1. They let go off an extremely popular Pokemon that has always been big for merchandise. I definitely had a Gengar straw and a Gengar lunchbox as a kid
