Preview JN063: Challenge! Pokémon Marine Athletics!!

[nickdt]

I didn't want to see it again, honestly.

The Galar fossils are among the Pokemon I hate the most.

HOW DARE YOU, THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL.

Nah, joking aside, Dracovish needs the spotlight.

 

[Unireon]

I apologise. It wasn't my intention to upset anyone.

You didn't. I was joking.

I'm curious to see who the Vaporeon belongs to

Lisa Ortiz mentioned she wanted to voice it Saturday night when Kayzie left so this could be fun for her

Could it be the one from the Eeveelution place I wonder

 

[Kurolegacy]

More filler incoming....
I just hope there will be an interesting Cotd.

Why everyone does want Uonoragon?

Don’t look at me. I never wanted any of the Galar fossils in Ash’s team and that would’ve been the one time I hoped Go got the Pokémon instead. In fact, should the writers decide that after Dracovish, Ash isn’t gonna get any more captures, I’ll be deeply disappointed that that’s what they chose to fill the final slot with. Never been a fan of their Frankenstein gimmick since I find it makes them all eyesores.

 

[swiftgallade46]

I like the choice of Dracovish on Ash’s team. It’s just so unconventional and unexpected lol. Hope to see it finally getting some more focus here

 

[TheGoldenToon]

I actually read the title as Marnie for a second. lol

Me too,
I realised my mistake when I recalled that her name is Mary in Japan.

 

[BigDocFan]

According to Bulbapedia, there is a slight change to the title

Challenge! The Pokémon Marine Obstacle Course!

Could you change it, @swiftgallade46 or @duringpampers?

 

[BigDocFan]

This episode has potential to be great fun, Pokemon competing in an obstacle course is a great idea

 

[Emmy]

Assuming that this is a bog standard filler, I will be sad as this type of setting would work for Nessa's introduction.

 

[GrookeyFan77]

Dracovish will Fishous Rend everyone

Ugh you read my mind! The second I saw this episode title I was like "NESSA???" Unfortunately, I tend to doubt she'll show up here, which is a shame. She's my fave Galar gym leader and I'm dying to see her in the anime!

Nice to see them giving Dracovish some airtime, though. Definitely still not my favorite Pokémon, but it's good to see it getting some attention since it really hasn't gotten to do much since Ash caught it.

I’ve thought to myself often, how will they actually write Dracovish? As stated, it apparently can’t breathe unless it’s underwater, but from some scenes of it already, it shows that it can withstand the environment for a few minutes without it. So, is this really the one way we’ll see Dracovish, and apart from that, in battles? I can’t see a scenario where Dracovish’s entry actually fits into basic stroytelling, unless it’s for a small segment.
Whilst Dracovish is cool, I think because of the way, at the moment, it’s hard to even write a simple premise for the creature, I doubt it’ll be a household name in the anime’s culture. If this is what it’s resigned to, then that’s really disappointing, especially as Ash’s sixth member of his team.

I doubt the anime will take its requirement for watery environment overly seriously.

I can only hope.

 

[Kurolegacy]

I doubt the anime will take its requirement for watery environment overly seriously.

I mean, look at Goldeen and other aquatic Pokémon.

 

[Lightning Flame Blast]

Dracovish being unable to stay out of water would also be problematic because... let’s face it, it’s not exactly hydrodynamic either.

 

[swiftgallade46]

Didn’t Dracovish debut outside of water ?
