This is Katsuki's first JN episode, but they've also animated the final episode of SM, the second part of Ash vs. Guzma, the episode where Mallow met her dead mother, and the first part of the Kanto field trip, to name a few examples.
Kurakazu was one of the ADs on episode 57, actually, so not exactly a first timer (unless Bulbapedia is wrong in which case shame on me).
To me, Tomioka being present is good enough.
Sooo, is there more than meets the eye for this bubbly giant or is it just content with its life? Interesting.
Nothing new whatsoever. Unfortunate.
Not necessarily. They could be hiding it for a surprise.
They've always willingly spoiled these "surprises", what warrants this to be any different?
Why does this sound like Dragonite wants to achieve something, and by that, I mean it strings to me that Dragonite will do a Charizard and leave Ash to train with a village/master that specialises in that type...
Not "always". Just sometimes. Whatever the reason for Iris wearing her dress is, it's clearly being kept a secret so far.
Doubtful considering that Dragonite is on the poster for Project Mew along with Ash’s other Pokémon.
They've always willingly spoiled these "surprises" so what warrants them to hide Haxorus?
Not always. They've been able to keep spoilers hidden on previous occasions.
