SM058: Don't Cry Hidoide!
Airs: January 18

This is it! I smell character development and past exploration for Mareanie!

 

[Neo Blaze]

The wild Mareanie/Toxapex is quite strange. It has a different color, but it's definitely not the Shiny coloration. Either the anime somehow chooses to use a different color scheme for the Shinies of Mareanie and Toxapex or these are just different alternate colorations similar to the Pink Butterfree and the purple Kecleon. For comparison with their Shiny sprites: (click image to enlarge)

 

[BigDocFan]

Despite my dislike of Team Rocket, this promises to be an exciting episode

 

[Harryghost]

I don't think it'll happen, but Mareanie's evolution is what I'm looking for in this episode. Regardless, more James and some Mareanie development is always welcome by me.

Well I would.

How immoral would it be to fake sick on January 18th?

It could turn out to be a let down, this show is very good at that.

 

[Gengarzilla]

I honestly can't remember the last time we had a non-Shiny alternate colouration which wasn't an error. I hope it's important to the episode's plot, because I otherwise can't imagine why the artists would go out of their way to make this.

 

[Playerking]

Maybe they are shiny and it's just their take on it, without it being an error.

Yeah. Remember how in the Diamond & Pearl series they used Toxicroak's Shiny coloration as its regular coloration? This could be a somewhat-similar case.

Shiny Toxicroak

[Idon'tcare]

See here's the thing, you all need to be looking at the scene of back when that Toxapex was a Mareanie:

Spoiler: Now do you see it?

Shush. Also, I have a really good feeling about this episode and I'm never wrong.

Shiny Toxicroak

Spoiler: Toxicroak in the anime

It still looks closer to the shiny form, specially the pre-Gen VI one which had a redder sac.

If you look at this anime shot with Croagunk, their colors seem vastly different:

But their blue shades in the games are almost identical:

 

[Jez]

Since the beginning of the "Sun and Moon" anime the James' hairstyle has been changed to make him more similar physically of the Mareanie's fiance. I suppose it is because the fiance of Mareanie is a sort of Jessiebelle (the fiancee of James) 2.0 and the tentacruel is a sort of Hopkins 2.0 I suppose XD

 

[Neo Blaze]

Wow, I somehow totally missed that Mareanie's resemblance to James and the callback to that line of Mareanie's first lover It all makes sense now.

 

[Rajas20]

The only thing I care about in this episode is seeing James jump kick a Tentacruel.

 

[Playerking]

Here is a summary of the episode, which Dephender translated.

Spoiler

James decides to battle Mareanie's senior, which is in love with Mareanie, over Mareanie.
