Preview SM082: Dance Dance in Evolution?

[Singaporean]

Oh boy, the trolling and debating begins. This is going to be take awhile. Until everything settle down.

Like I say earlier, never EVER expecting the episode so quick. Because, you're going to be very disappointed at the end of the episode result.

A very polarizing preview if the chat above me was any indication. Can we all agree on these three core facts?

1) It's a Mallow/Steenee focused episode.

2) The main cast gets captured by Team Rocket.

3) Steenee will learn a new move, likely Teeter Dance or Stomp, evolve, or both.

I’m not very invested in Mallow so I doubt I’ll be disappointed with Steenee not evolving here.

And I doubt any trolling is going on in this thread.

We'll have to wait to the next Sunday for the second preview and see what happens.

Since there's no episode next week, shouldn't the second preview come out on next week's Sunday?

Yeah, this Sunday will not have the second preview because next week they will air Pokemon the movie I choose you.

Yeah, another "TRio is trying to capture everyone" episode and i bet whatever is is happening to Steene it will help them escape, obviously.
Let's just count other episodes with that formula... I say that again, instant skip!

I think you should try my way of approaching this: watch the episode, and if you didn't like it, don't watch it again. Ways better than just skipping an episode and hoping you didn't miss anything important.

Also, imagine if you skipped an actully good episode, and somebody told you about it before you watched it. That would just lessen the impact the episode is supposed to have on you.

In short: don't judge a book by its cover, or an episode by its preview, and start giving this series the respect it deserves.

If Steenee evolves, can we get a rebonding episode down the line like with Charizard, Mamoswine, and Excadrill? Tsareena's a lot more haughty so I can't see it being a smooth transition for trainer and Pokémon.

The Rocket trio : D

I almost never rewatch episodes, only The Expanse or Stranger Things would get that honour (I also watched Rise of the Guardians like 8 times). And previews/summaries/titles say enought to tell if im skipping important things. This is possible, just very rare.
I triad to approach SM with respect, but even after first episode, my rection was like "ugh oh is that... thing even Pokemon?". As a faithful fan i pushed through, hoping that it will get better. But it was only getting worse. The battles and the plot felt lazy, and the first serious ark was a huge disapointment. Im sorry but the more i watch, the greater gets that awful feeling, that SM just does not deserve my respect. Just like it doesnt seem to respect the games. Please do not tell things like "just dont watch it", i will continue to follow PokeAni just to see how it will handle itself. Discountinuing this discussion would be much apreciated, even thought i know i will start it again eventually.

Indeed. The cast is too big. The episodes feel meh. Why do they always need a half of an episode to build up the plot? They make stories based on the humor. And their wasnt one episode without stupid faces and gags.

Been a long while since Shimura has done animation for an episode with some other animators that isn't Iwane.

The thing I'm most looking forward to in the ep: crossdressing Rockets making a return! (Also love that Musashi's mimicking the strand that's always in front of Kojiro's face)

 

[Flynn]

I know its been a minute since James has crossdressed but when's the last time Jessie has?

 

[TRNatalie]

I think the last time may have been in AG47 (or 'I Feel Skitty')

Edit: Unless you count her partially dressing as James in the last episode of BW.

I'd be more interested about Amamaiko's possible evolution if that meant she and Mao will be more relevant or interesting from now on, but that's not guaranteed. So I won't be disappointed if it doesn't happen. But I guess it's good to see those two being the center of attention once again, even if it's just for a new move.

And maybe it's because of her hairstyle in that preview, because of Sun & Moon art style or because we don't see it so often, but Musashi looks really weird without lipstick on. At least it seems this time they'll have a funnier role than in this week's episode.

 

[FinnishPokéFan92]

I personally feel a bit sad that we have two one-week breaks this close to each other, especially now when we seem to have a pretty interesting-looking episode coming up next, even though I fully understand why.
