Alright, the Koharu episode.

 

[Rainbow-Rain]

Koharu and Eevee getting lost in a forest and meeting G.Ponyta and G.Rapidash eh?

This episode seems like it could be cute.

I wonder if Opal will appear here?

 

[A Wild Luxray]

I'm hoping this is Opal's debut. We know she's making her debut soon, and considering this takes place in the Glimwood Tangle, its possible. Ballonlea is right there.

Is Luminous Maze Forest the same thing as Glimwood Tangle

Glimwood Tangle - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia

Yes it is.

 

[DynamicFusion]

hmmmmm, interesting...

 

[Kitasuki]

Actually I would like a twist. We are all expecting Koharu to become something other than a battler, however... I would love having her become Opal's pupil and become a gym leader

 

[Timaeus]

An episode set in Galar? - You have my curiosity.
A Kohaku focused episode? - Now you have my attention.

Wonder if Koharu will be catching G.Ponyta. Will see meet Opal? So many interesting possibilities.

 

[Schemer99]

The focus on Galar and Koharu is nice and all, but the most important question is "What about the PWC!".

Anyway, it seems like 2021 has had a good roster of episodes so far.

 

[Craiden]

PWC is returning this week, though I don't mind focus (Sobble/Koharu) over it, as long as the break isn't what this previous break was.

 

[Lightning Flame Blast]

Man, Sakuragi really has a lot of money sitting around to be getting these kids multiple plane tickets to the same location instead of binging the attractions into one trip, but who am I to judge

 

[Eitarou]

Money is clearly no object in this world if Oak can keep all the Pokemon at the ranch fed.

 

[Beatsy Ray]

Hopefully, this is the start of a 2-parter. Ash hears about Opal and wants to battle her, so the trio decide to head to Ballonlea. Nearing their destination, they discover that it lies in the center of Glimwood Tangle, this first episode focuses on them getting lost in the forest, with Koharu as the main POV character. In the second episode, they make it to Ballonlea and meet Opal. Ash battles her and wins.

 

[MewSobbleFan19]

An episode in Galar? Nice. Hopefully the episode after this will be in Galar too and it'll be the one where we finally get to see Grookey.

I’m glad we’re going back to Galar but it does put me in the mind of thinking - if they’re gonna do so many episodes in Galar, why not just set the series in Galar.

In fact they could’ve done the whole travel the world but return to a base at Magnolia’s couldn’t they? I know the series gets a lot of flack for being in Kanto most the time, but even the Kanto region seems incidental - most episodes are just set at the lab and the city the lab is in (which just happens to be Vermilion, don’t know what makes Vermillion so special, I’d have though they’d avoided it since they - also rather arbitrarily - sent Ambipom there with the implied promise and vague hope that it might be seen again... The only real reason I can think of for it needing to be this city is they wanted it to be by the sea?) long parentheses... what thread is this? Oh yeah!

Opal Will presumably appear here - an underrated gym leader from Galar. THIS IS GONNA BE PINK!!!!!

 

[Eitarou]

Galar is the most recent region, so of course it's going to get focus.

 

[GrookeyFan77]

Cool! More Galar and Chloe! JN056 will probably be about Grookey since Ash catches a new Pokemon 6 episodes after he catches one.

 

[BigDocFan]

Lovely, a Chloe focused episode

 

[FinnishPokéFan92]

Dammit! I failed to notice this thread until now! I got so many alerts while sleeping that I completely missed this one!

This is not a mathematics class.
