Preview SM028: The Fierce Pokébase Match! Aim for a Home Run to Turn the Tide!!

[Wishy-Washy]

Why does everyone asks that question its not like they will get an answer, I want the next trails to start as much as the next guy but its really just annoying at this point.

 

[Islander Princess]

Is Casey coming back?

Definitely not. It'd be cool, but I don't think they're going for straight baseball here, which is what Casey's whole thing was. This has some kind of Pokémon twist to it.

I do think that's going to make things very interesting though! I'm all for world building stuff, so the idea of this sport that's very popular in Alola and we're going to see the classmates and their Pokémon playing it sounds really fun from that perspective. I'm interested to see how exactly the Pokémon participate.

 

[Nicolas721]

I don't understand why they are using baseball for showcasing characters and interactions when the Battle Royale is a thing...

For those wondering about the plot, my theory is that Ash's eventual triumph over Tapu Koko will lead to the whole group obtaining Z-rings, which in turn will lead to Ash and Lana taking the trial together.

At the snail's pace the storyline of the anime is going, by the time that happens, I'll be entering a nursing home for end of life care.

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

I have a feeling that this will be the new Pokeringer.

 

[Sakuraa]

This sounds like it'll at the very least end up being pretty funny depending on how everyone plays the game

 

[Garren]

Speaking of Casey, in the past the parody of Japan's beloved Hanshin Tigers was Electabuzz---now that we have a more fitting mascot in Incineroar I wonder if we'll see it here in that place.

New summary!?

It's decided to play the popular sport Pokébase for a class at the School.

Super exciting stuff.

New summary!?

It's hardly a new summary? The only bit of new news that we got was that it's for a class.

Which is good because then that means everyone of his classmates will be particitpating.

 

[MarshiyanMisutaa]

What makes this episode important is the fact that (if SM follow 140 episode rule of BW and XY) the first 20 percent of SM will be over.

Also we're pretty damn close to the series hitting it's ultimate milestone!
The 1000th episode.

There is at least 7 months to get that.

It means nothing in Japan.

Heck, the reason they keep renumbering each series is so they don't have to add 'em. They fact they keep starting over mostly from scratch is kind of a tip-off.

Besides, it's HIGHLY doubtful the story will be in any place to do anything for it anyway.

 

[ehh123]

I wouldn't dismiss Junichi Fujisaku that quickly. As I said on the staff thread, he wrote a lot of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and that Blood franchise.

Besides, I've always wanted to see a filler episode involving Pokemon playing baseball. No, I am not kidding.

 

[Playerking]

A new summary that is out, which hasn't been fully translated, mentions that both people and Pokemon play Pokebase and a famous sports player will appear in the episode. I don't know if it's a real life famous player or just a famous player in the Pokemon World.

Well... at the pace the series is going I don't think we're going to be that far along into the story.

But then again, we are going to get 3 non-filler episodes in a row. So who knows

Looks like Team Rocket wants to play some baseball with Ash and his friends. Who is going to get a home run?
