Pokémon Evolution/Capture/Release Thread

In the ending, a Grookey is seen next to Riolu. I'd count that as a hint for Ash getting Grookey.

That's just Japanese wordplay.

 

[RileyXY1]

But then they could have dropped a Midday or Midnight form there since either of those represent LUgarugan. Occam's Razor again, buddy, unless you can prove that someone else has a Dusk form Lycanroc...

Then that means that Ash will also get Cramorant and Togepi.

 

[RileyXY1]

The segment that portrays Ash is the one with the Riolu (Pikachu portrays the entire franchise) and it contains Grookey, Riolu and Dusk-Lycanroc.

On a different note, the Togepi from oh-so back then technically belonged to Ash before Misty decided to rudely snatch the egg away.

And by the way, Yamper is also listed with Comfey and Chikorita.

 

[Karamazov]

I don't want Ash to get Sobble - or any Galar starters, though I'd be fine with Grookey. But if he catches Sobble, then we'd be one capture closer to seeing if he'll be rotating this saga. Fingers crossed and don't @ me, I don't care, I want it back so much

 

[Rocket Messiah]

Placements in poster like this don't mean much (As we have seen in Sun and Moon with Eevee).

I will give you the same response I did in another thread:

It looks like a similar situation but if we compare both images there is an important difference between the two of them

Did you see it? No? let me explain.

In the S&M poster Eevee appears in front of Ash, however he does no appear alongside any other of Ash team members at this point.

In the new series poster however Sobble appears at Go side alongside Go important Pokémon also Galarian Farfetch appears in Ash side along Ash main team.

Draw your own conclusions.

 

[KenzeyEevee]

You realise you dicuss in circles right?

 

[nickdt]

For people bringing up Eevee, I don't recall when exactly Eevee was literally portrayed in a promo where Ash was "talking" to it to offer it to join him (intentional audio manipulation) or where the advertisement of it placed it alongside Ash's other party members (false advertisement) in a magazine that has been right thus far? Not to mention all the other promo that places it alongside Ash with no Goh in sight.

Where Eevee was mostly fan speculation, with Sobble, they've literally done the promotion themselves so it's going to be one of the worst bait-and-switches they've pulled.

For Galarfetch'd it will also be bad if Ash doesn't get Sobble, since then Galarfetch'd will become known as the mon who prevented Sobble to go to Ash.

Actually Galarian Farfetch'd will not be the reason to Ash not getting sobble. But sobble fans will pull everything on poor Galarian Farfetch'd .

Ash has gotten a type overlap in every region apart from Johto, Hoenn, and Alola.

Since Ash had both Bulbasaur and Chikorita/Bayleef with him in Jotho for 100 consecutive episodes there was a type overlap in Jotho.

With Johto, I only counted the Johto team by themselves and not including the Kanto team.

 

[Eclipsical]

I probably wouldn’t mind if Raboot and Drizzile are Go’s two main team members while he shuffles the other 4 spaces with other Pokémon.

I also think it’s kind of funny he has the potential have both of the “edgier” looking starters.

First I've seen it. The placement here seems more like a random showcase of Galar Mon, I wouldn't put too much stock it, especially since Sirfetch'd is close to Gou when we know Ash is getting it. The real eyebrow raiser is that Charmander, it's the odd one out by being the only non-Galar Mon that's not currently a character in the anime. Maybe Gou will get one, although he already has a Fire starter. We know Dr. Sakuragi has one, maybe Koharu will choose it as her starter Pokemon in a future episode. In that case I would love for it to meet Ash's Charizard, and that would bring the promo poster full-circle.

That said, I do kind of expect Gou to get all three Galar starters at this point. Also that Cinderace picture may imply that Raboot will evolve sooner rather than later.

 

[90'sPokéfan]

With Johto, I only counted the Johto team by themselves and not including the Kanto team.

I understand, but with the time Bulbasaur was a permanent member in Ash his Jotho party, it's hard for me not to see him as a member of his Jotho team.

He was a member of Ash team for 70% of his Jotho journey.

When I think about Ash his Jotho team I will always first think about Bulbasaur before for example Heracross, who was sent to prof Oak permanently fairly quickly after being caught.

 

[Fan of Jarrus]

Now that would a good reason for Sobble to sob, just as I would

Really hope its a red herring

I really like Sobble. So he should go with Ash.

 

[BigDocFan]

I really like Sobble. So he should go with Ash.

Agreed, its ability to camouflage should be useful in battle, hence why Sobble is more suited to Ash's team

And Inteleon's ability is just made for Ash.

 

[Black&White]

Go could use Sobble's invisibility as well. It could help him capture Pokemon

 

[Yami-no-Game]

Was not expecting Ash to get Galarian Farfetch'd but I hope this means he's not going to get any more Fighting types because 3 would be overkill. And don't start with the XY excuse please I already talked about that.
