Preview SM091: It's a Pikachu Outbreak! The Pikachu Valley!!

[FluffleFi]

An episode full of my species? Sounds like an S+ episode to me. No one'll mind if the villain of the episode is me, right? With the soul purpose of bringing baskets of Thunderstones to evolve every Pikachu in the valley for the heck of it.

I'll be happy to help with the purpose too.

That's a "Yankee" haircut, it's a haircut related to motorcycle and street gangs from Japan.

Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu tie-in with the anime this episode. One female Pikachu in this episode (Kurin) has one of the special haircuts you can give Pikachu in Let’s Go!

Just seeing a Pikachu with eyelashes and that kind of hair in this anime just feels...
off putting.

This is pretty great I’m not going to lie

*Banjo Kazooie style* DURR HA, is this a JoJo reference?

OMG Cutie

This would be completely left-field and out of the blue, but what if Ritchie made a cameo with Sparky-the OG Pikachu with a 'cut?

It's Space Pika! He's a pika guy...in space!
(get it? )

And don't forget this Pika:

Spoiler

The chances that Ritchie or Sparky appears are less than zero, but if all these Pikachu have haircuts they could still throw in an easter egg by having a Pikachu around that looks similar to Sparky.

 

[SinnohEevee]

An Eevee Valley would be Heaven for me.

 

[HiroHunter]

I feel like this is going to be filler.

 

[Islander Princess]

Man I need to see a Pikachu with the straight across bangs option in this episode.

 

[SammyW27]

An Eevee Valley would be Heaven for me.

Don't worry, some Eevee focus is all but guaranteed
What's more, I'll bet even money we'll get at least one voiced by Aoi Yuki.

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

I really wish they’d bring back Puka for once. After all it inspired Alolan Raichu...

 

[ZDaemon09]

I feel like this is going to be filler.

After how many episodes of strait plot in a row, it isn't a feeling, it is a certainty.

This. ALL of this! That remains one of my favorite episodes of the whole show. I'm surprised they never had a distribution event for him.

Say, when DO we get a voice cast list for this episode?

Will we still get it today, or will be a week or two? Especially with the timeslot change.

Come to think of it, does the timeslot change mean we'll get VA lists on a different day from now on?

 

[BigDocFan]

VA lists usually come out 8 days before the episode airs, or the Wednesday before it airs, we'll have to wait two weeks to find out

That'll probably be the Saturday the week before it airs now, if we go by logic. In that case September 29 would be the day this episode's cast list comes out.

 

[Peppermint Phoenix]

Why the hell are people calling the female Pikachu "Pikachu's girlfriend" when the dang episode ain't even out yet?

Because

This implies a fight over the female Pikachu...

They’re shaping up the female Pikachu as the stereotypical beautiful girl the hero falls for.
