Preview SM093: The Hero Liliel and the Alola Staff!

[BigDocFan]

Looking forward to seeing this episode even more, nice to see more family appearing, as long as Team Rocket don't attempt to sabotage the play or steal Pokemon, this could be fun

No doubt Ash will feel nervous despite acting previously

 

[Gengarzilla]

Not really, because their kids are in it. If they were showing up to some random kids' play, then yeah. It's sweet that SM shows the characters' parents being involved in their kids' school stuff.

I'd agree that it's not odd for post-Nihilego Lusamine to drop in (she'll probably love it, womanchild that she is) but Delia really must have a lot of time on her hands if she's travelling hundreds of miles just for a school play. That's still sweet though.

but Delia really must have a lot of time on her hands if she's travelling hundreds of miles just for a school play.

That's the same woman who never show up to see his son's league battles, unless it's in Kanto or Johto. Maybe Alola is closer to Kanto?

 

[BigDocFan]

It is certainly unusual but at least she is making the effort

She doesn't seem to stay for long though

Rumors were true!

Apparently not.

Why do they hate Lana's parents so much?

 

[BugCatcherinVF]

That lesbian activity is also a reference to Utena Revolution.

Revolionary Utena reference FTW

Though one has to wonder how TPCI will handle it...

They will do nothing I think. It is nothing racism

Like this is just me being hopeful but I feel we are going to have one evident canon gay pairing by the end of Sun and Moon (either Jenny/Joy, or Lillie/Mallow, or Lillie/Moon, or Satoshi/Gladion, or James/brief subplot guy)

I really think they're just doing it to fit in with the family theme SM has going on. The kids are in school, kids' parents go to school functions. Kids watching the show can relate to that, for the most part. Since the other classmates have their parents at these things, it makes sense for Delia to come as well.

The travel aspect, thinking about his leagues and when she hasn't appeared and all that is kind of overthinking it, imo. It fits the theme of the series, so that's what the writers are going with.

That Utena shot. The anime made reference to that show's aesthetic way back in Kanto (both Pokémon and Utena debuted on TV Tokyo at the exact same time) so it's interesting to see it referenced again.

 

[Daenerys]

So Delia can cross regions to see a mediocre children's play with her servant in tow, yet Lana's dad can't travel a few miles?

 

[BigDocFan]

I'm liking the real life school feel Sun and Moon is giving us

School open day, work experience, school dance and school play, wonder if the final episode sees graduation

Ah heck, the Kanto Saga played like an anime Amblin cartoon part of the time (one of its better features)

...

Am I seriously the only one in here who's genuinely interested about those cubic Pokémon costumes instead of the class's parents or obscure anime references?

 

[BugCatcherinVF]

I was thinking, remember when we though Ash wouldn't crossdress for the nurse episode because of the promo and then the actual episode outdid the promo? So, what if this time the episode outdoes the promo as well and there is more gay pairings or another crossdressing for Ash.

I guess so. I mean the costumes are spiffy and all, but why would the rest of us choose to focus more on painted cardboard boxes than on the characters themselves?

Is the potential Pokémon Quest reference really that uninteresting to you? Or am I just being really nerdy and enjoying this detail more than I should?

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

I do not really find this episode’s premise very interesting.

 

[ii kanji]

This is going to be a good episode.

James/brief subplot guy

Who?
