Preview JN038: Miracle Restoration, the Fossil Pokémon!

[FinnishPokéFan92]

This seems such a random episode tbh. Like we just have to give fossil Pokémon attention

They want to show as many Pokémon as possible in this series, so it makes sense. And I guess they figured that since Ash is in Alola here, they might as well display as many fossils at once as they could at the Fossil Park from the games.

I jumped upon seeing the title of this episode by remembering Galar fossils

but this reversed it

 

[Hassel]

It really does look more like Akala Island's Lush Jungle and Wela Volcano, than Cinnabar in Kanto or Mt Chimney in Hoenn. Really cool if there's a second Alola episode and they make that Fossil Restoration Center dude's dream come true. Jurassic Park was filmed in Hawaii, after all

This JP talk made me realize there’ll be no velociraptor fossil pokemon to chase people here.

... goddamnit Game Freak.

Never say never, Tyrantrum with a speed boost could be present. Though it seems that Aerodactyl will be doing the bloodthirsty chasing if the preview is any indication.

It appears that this will be another Alola episode.

 

[Nicolas721]

In one hand, we haven't seen the Unova and Kalos fossils in centuries, and this could be a non disturbing way to introduce the Galar fossils. But I'd rather had the second Alola episode to be focused on something less filler-ish and more related to the classmates' goals and how they relate to Ash.

Is it possible that neither Ash or Gou obtain a Pokemon in this episode? Or is it almost a given that one (or maybe both of them) will obtain a fossil Pokemon here?

Ash currently has not caught anything in eleven episodes at this point.

 

[Kitasuki]

Yeah, I find it odd that there has been such a large gap since his last capture, given how they were giving him a near full team relatively early (maybe it is full if you count Mimey). Not saying that he'll capture something in this episode, just that it should be sooner or later.

Or maybe it could be later with the sooner focusing on his Alolan+Current team. Either scenario works, I guess.

To be honest, I think Ash 6th mon, at least for the moment, will just be a rotation of his reserves

 

[RileyXY1]

I highly doubt that this is all Ash is catching this saga. I don't think that they would have him only catch Sirfetch'd in terms of Gen 8 Pokemon.

 

[KenzeyEevee]

I get the feeling Raboot will evolve here. Idk why

Me neither. That was why I said, "at least for the moment"

 

[BigDocFan]

Nothing new yet regarding this episode despite having information for JN037 and JN039

Here's hoping we get something soon

Maybe nothing because they don't wanna spoiler Raboot evolving against Kiawe.

 

[SammyW27]

^ Or because it's a filler sandwiched between old friends and a major battle.

So what if Goh gets Aerodactyl here? It's not like he'll do anything with it.

 

[Daren]

If Raboot does evolve now it'll be even faster than Charizard.
That's not impossible, but unless this is going to be a shorter series I think it's a bit unlikely.

This plushes are being released on October.

We may have a clue here.

 

[BigDocFan]

Nothing new for this episode yet but one thing I saw discussed on Serebii is that maybe Ash's encounter with Omastar might help Ash come up with a counter for Octolock

Merchandise is usually released WAY before that specific event in the Anime happens, so that people have time to buy it and etc. However, this could be an exception so we'll see.
