Preview JN035: Get Pikachu!!

[game3524]

So Pikachu evolves and then reverts back because of g-max?

 

[RileyXY1]

This summary has gotten me more convinced that Ash will leave the series after Journeys is over and Gou will take over as the new lead.

 

[KenzeyEevee]

Fake out. But knowing this series is full of surprises

 

[BigDocFan]

Interesting that it says Pikachu is evolving, something that seems very unlikely

Maybe this is a dream episode

 

[FinnishPokéFan92]

It's probably another Pikachu that Ash mistakes for his own.

Why? Cant Pikachu de-evolve lol?

I don't think so.

I think his "evolves" and reverts back do to gmax. We will see, but it seems this episode may about further developing the dynamax/gmax phenomenon.

 

[BigDocFan]

The more I hear about this episode, the less and less appealing it sounds

 

[KenzeyEevee]

I don't think so.

Isnt that lame?

Is that even possible?

I'm more interested in the Butterfree which is listed above Gengar. Could we see Butterfree in a flashback as a parallel to Ash's Pikachu and the Femchhu?

 

[BigDocFan]

Anyone get the feeling the summary is lying to us as I don't see Pikachu evolving at all, not without them finding some way to devolve it

Who knows. This episode feels so odd.

In SS, Gmax Pikachu/Eevee can't evolve. So I get why the writers might be exploring that concept.

Granted, it is a bit of a buzzkill since part of Pikachu's schtick is that it refuses to evolve. But now it may be a retcon that it never could evolve even if it wanted to lol.

I’m guessing it’s either a fake-out completely or Pikachu manages to resist stone-based evolution due to raw will-power/maybe they’ll actually bring in the G-Max as a reason to why Pikachu can’t evolve. I don’t think showing that Pikachu can’t evolve due to G-Max lessens Pikachu’s choice not to evolve since he made that choice assuming he could evolve and that still holds weight. Pikachu could always lose G-Max via the Max Soup if they actually wanted to get rid of it’s G-Max abilities.

They’re not gonna evolve Pikachu when they’ve already set up the G-Max Pikachu vs. G-Max Charizard rematch for the end of Journeys.

I’m guessing they’re putting a Gengar appearance in since he hasn’t had one in a while. It’ll probably be at the lab. Butterfree and Mantyke are also there, and they’re both poor choices to bring to a place filled with Electric-types, so I doubt Goh is bringing them.

and then Satoshi's Pikachu finally evolves into a Raichu as well thanks to a "Thunderstone" discovered by a very obliging female Pikachu?!

Ooosh, check out that clickbait right up the wazoo. I'd be damned if that were to happen. As others have said it's either a copout or the whole G-Max schtick is involved as to why it can't evolve.

 

[Silktree]

The female Pikachu should evolve, get caught by Go and have a rivalry with Pikachu. The opening suggests that this is unlikely, though. She could get caught and not stand out, I guess.

 

[Rocket Messiah]

Lying on summaries is really low. Really really low.

Shame on all of them.

Gengar got his ass kicked so hard by Korrina that he took a 10-episode long break.

This series is so weird with its constant need to try and pull stunts like this. But I guess it's better than when they tease stuff that could actually be believable and then doesn't happen.

Pikachu's not evolving.
