Mewtwo: You want to be a Pokémon Master? How about working towards that Masters Degree first, kid.

Any possibility of other Ash's Pokémon appearing due to VA overlap? I don’t remember the VA list...
It'd be really nice if we also saw that recurring Farfetch'd from Galar!

Sadly not

Kenta Miyake: Dragonite
Yasuhiro Mamiya: Gengar
Shin'ichirō Miki: Farfetch'd

Possible:
Yuji Ueda: Mimey

Why would Giovanni be involved when Mewtwo wiped his memories of it in Mewtwo's Return?

 

[Twilight-Kun]

It sounds like Mewtwo is testing how far Ash and Goh are willing to go in order to reach their respective dreams.

We know how far Ash is willing to go

Spoiler: Up to and including slugging gods

 

[SinnohEevee]

I think Mewtwo wants to test them, especially Ash since it was a long time since they last met.

Maybe, but it is still a really powerfull Pokemon that can be caught for his goals.

Well, if Cerise can detect Mewtwo’s power, Giovanni probably has the means to do so too.

That said, I doubt they’re pulling that plot thread out after so long. Giovanni stopped being relevant in the anime a while ago tbh.

Even if it is valuable this isn't really the place for it. This episode is about Ash and Go, TR being here would be a detriment.

Giovanni is never a detriment.

Looks like it could be a good episode

After all the relatively disappointing animation for the past 4 mainline episodes, Iwane's animation seems like a relief to the eyes. I wonder if we'll see some clone Pokemon here given that Mewtwo seems to be living in an entire ecosystem (that again, as I pointed out, seems similar to the Tree of Beginning in aesthetic).

Despite, the last episode is a great one. But is true... The arc is kind of rush and disappointment as Rose get away.

Looks like it could be a good episode

I'll believed, it will be like the one when Goh catch Trapinch, Vibrava and Flygon from episode 36. Pseudo-raid battle. Only this time, they won't catch Mewtwo.

 

[Alola]

I just hope Mewtwo doesn't spam Shadow Ball the entire time a la Mega Gardevoir.

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

I've got a feeling that it might be a one time deal like the Ho-oh episode...

 

[Silktree]

The clones are gone as they should be, but the way Mewtwo seems apathetic towards Ash implies that they aren't trying to acknowledge Mewtwo Returns. Either that or the preview is doing a bad job representing the dynamics.

Mewtwo's last words: If someday you happen to hear your name called, then you should turn around and look. Because... I might be standing there.

Ash seems to recognize Mewtwo and I doubt they'll go as far as to retcon out the special, but man, I do miss Shudo.

A magazine already confirmed that Returns will be acknowledged.

The preview hasn't shown any specific scene of Mewtwo interacting with Ash, so let's hold out and see.

I mean, it made sense then. Have you seen how long it takes the average Pokémon to fire off Moonblast in XY? It's basically a mini Solar Beam.

Lol remember that time the entire cast had lines of dialogue and Goodra had time to learn Ice Beam while Florges was charging Moonblast

 

[Rainbow-Rain]

Hmm... I've noticed in the new preview that Cinderace and Lucario aren't in it until it's time to fight MewTwo?

Perhaps they'll be in their Pokeballs more often than we think? (Well I'm sure they'll still appear at least once per episode. Just not full-time travel Partners like they used to be)
