Preview JN082: Mawhip's Sweet Battle!?

[Enzo]

Imagine Serena coming back in this episode. I mean, it would make sense.

If she was coming back we would've seen some sort of promotion. It would make no sense to not advertise her return, especially considering there's what? 2-3 weeks for this ep to air?

It would be interesting if the winner of this so called tournament gets an exhibition match against Opal.

That would be nice to see, at least we're seeing more of Galar

I mean, aside from Piplup promotion, we didn't know about Dawn until her actual preview/summary aired though.

 

[SlyGecko]

The Summary mentions Ash and his friends.

How did I miss that part?

 

[Eitarou]

Wait, two of Ash's Galar Rivals are here, and it's not the one who loves sweets?!

 

[KrspaceT]

Sounds like a possible Chloe episode, or an Ash-Chloe episode. When I think 'friends' in a Journeys context and making cake....IDK I can't see Goh making cakes.

 

[nickdt]

I kinda hope they need to use their Pokemon as well for this one. And then i can see Goh using Raichu.

 

[SammyW27]

So...Leon, Raihan, and Opal...in a...cake decorating contest...

 

[MarshiyanMisutaa]

Considering the writer, I expect Koharu and/or Team Rocket to shine here.

They would've likely been highlighted in the summary if that was the case.

Merch don’t lie

Zygarde up next?

 

[Unireon]

I said that I can't stand that Pokemon.....

So, now I am a bit conflicted.....

Should I try to endure it for Dande and Kibana or just skip it like planned....

Picturing Mawhip as being made of frosting could help.....

Edit:

Merch don’t lie

Zygarde up next?

What about Zygarde, the Game-less?
Has it been featured anywhere?
Will Gou catch it?

Go doesn’t need to participate. Go should have the focus in Go episodes, and same goes for Chloe. Ash can do something on his own for once.

IIRC, it was featured amongst the merchandise that also featured Alcremie. Squishy returning, maybe?

It's very unlikely for this episode to focus on Satoshi.

SM 93 says hi (marketed as a Lillie episode but ended up being more of a Musashi episode)

But still....

Decorating a cake is something that I never imagined Satoshi doing....
He's rather terrible in those activities, and has been proven many times.

Maybe it's the counterpart to the last trial, where he participated despite not being his thing.....
But he performed terribly and was humilliated.

SM 93 says hi (marketed as a Lillie episode but ended up being more of a Musashi episode)

Ah. Well, we'll see. It's hard to tell at the moment.

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

It's very unlikely for this episode to focus on Satoshi.

Only he is mentioned in the summary, and his literal goal and rival to his goal are participating.

Exactly.

Only he is mentioned in the summary, and his literal goal and rival to his goal are participating.

Most summaries are based on opening acts of the episodes, and Satoshi name dropped here likely because it's opening act based on the joke that he expects there to be a battle, only to be disappointed by the true nature of competition.
