Preview SM073: Rocket-dan's Island-Visiting!? Get the Z-Ring!!

[L-05308]

I just hope Wǔzàng and Xiǎo Cìláng get to keep this Z ring beyond these few episodes- the idea of them always having access to Mínǐ-Q‘s Z move is too good to be true.

 

[Nanu Schmidt]

Are you seriously using those names to spark another argument? Some nerve, geez.

 

[FinnishPokéFan92]

Just move on from the silly language issue and talk about the episode, okay?

I think that James will use the Darkinium Z with Mareanie, while Jessie uses the Mimikium Z with Mimikyu. Maybe they'll get the latter Z-Crystal from the Megamart trial...

I think Acerola's Mimikyu isn';t Shiny, it's a ghost. I mean, It didn't even touch a Gergar while using a move. And that white cloud around it creeps me out.

 

[RetroPokeFan]

Is it me or does Acerola look more cuter in the anime than she does in the games?

 

[Gabo2oo]

And is this the first time the Rocket trio has used the Nyarth balloon since....SM005? Not counting the ending?

Yup, they even mentioned it as their "old balloon" in the previous episode. Understandable, since the main characters aren't nomads this time around.

Conversely, I've been removed from the English dub for so long that I have no idea what the hell people are talking about when they use names like "Nanu" or "Sophocles" or "Mallow."

Jeez, when did you jump ship?

Though in a way that makes you lucky you don't have to put up with Lillie's dub voice...

Forgot to mention earlier, it's cool how some characters still use BW/XY-style highlights on their hair. First Matori and now Acerola. Kind of like how Serena had highlights similar to the OS style. Its a nice little way to diversify character design and I hope we get more like it!

I'm v. distracted by Musashi's hair being out in that one scene in the second preview where they're all sitting by the tomb. Sure it's an animation oversight, but her hair is always in a bun in that outfit! *sigh* I think I'm too involved...

 

[Nanu Schmidt]

Who is Musashi? Imma start asking questions now. It’s just too much of a hassle looking it up.

@FinnishPokéFan92

Thanks.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Guys, I don't like to be strict and I hate to do this, but please put an end to the incredibly childish trolling and back and forth squabbling about whether to use English or Japanese names.

Let me be clear on the staff's position on the matter: both English names and Japanese names are allowed and that's not going to change. If you have a problem with that, I'm sorry, but it takes literally 10 seconds to search a name in Google. Conversely, teasing people who don't like the usage of Japanese names and deliberately baiting them is also not okay, so please put an end to it.

And now I would please like to not hear another word about the matter. You're free to ask someone what a certain name is but further baiting and/or off-topic bickering about the issue isn't going to be tolerated. Back to discussing the episode.

 

[Nanu Schmidt]

Crap. Okay I’m in trouble now. This is not Facebook so I can’t argue here. Got it. (I’m 28 and hate being called a child.)

Anyways. Y’all hyped for this episode or what?

 

[Silktree]

It's the most interesting episode in quite a while, but that isn't saying much.

Musashi is queen of ever-changing hair

I actually think it looks better that way...

 

[TRNatalie]

Very hyped for the episode!

Yep the translations stated that Mimi-tan is an actual ghost. I wonder what it's backstory is.

I missed that the first time I watched the second preview. Now I can't unsee it. She looks great both ways though in my opinion.

I wonder if we'll see Hidoide learn Knock Off or if they'll state that she learned offscreen.

 

[Nanu Schmidt]

About the Mimikyu- It seems mostly shiny, but when you look close, there's a patch of yellow sewn onto the disguise. What could this possibly mean?

 

[Silktree]

It means that Mimikyu-chan has been naughty.
