Sounds to like the same thing, just with a different title

It does. But it remains to be seen.

It does. But it remains to be seen.

Time will tell

I'll probably be out with my brother when the summary and cast lists are released but I'm sure someone here will add them

At what time will they come out today?

 

[radek.tadajewski.7]

I think the cast list of this episode is out.

 

[FinnishPokéFan92]

I think the cast list of this episode is out.

So do I. But where is it? We could probably get a confirmation is Ryuki truly appears in this episode or not.

EDIT: HE DOES!

Summaries and cast list, as provided by Adamant

Satoshi and the others have come to the Gym of Kanto. Battle the Ninja Trainers and aim for the top floor of the building! Apparently you'll be able to battle the head of the gym on the top floor, but...
Also, a major announcement will be made during the episode?!

Summary:
As they continue their sightseeing tour of Malie City, Satoshi and his friends arrive at the Gym of Kanto! This is a place modeled after a Pokémon Gym from the Kanto region where you battle against Trainers dressed as ninjas, and if you win you get to continue to the next floor. Apparently you get to battle against the "head" of the Gym on the top floor, but... just what kind of person IS this head? And what kind of battle awaits?!
And there will also be a major announcement during the episode?! Make sure to watch all the way till the end!

It'll be refreshing to see a Gym in the SM anime.

 

[DarkraiKnight]

EDIT: HE DOES!

And with that, I believe that every type specialist introduced in Alola has finally appeared!

 

[BigDocFan]

So do I. But where is it?

I always get the information from https://www.pocketmonsters.net/

Nice, a Druddigon is confirmed as appearing, hopefully other Dragon type's will appear too

 

[KenzeyEevee]

Special announcement? Hmm interesting! Wonder what it is about

Why is Ash so surprised? He knows ninja's, he has a ninja pokemon!

 

[BigDocFan]

Zweilous two, promises to be exciting

Why is Ash so surprised? He knows ninja's, he has a ninja pokemon!

Ash probably suffers from terrible memory, that or the writers have poor continuity

Ryuki singing and shouting kind of reminded me of Roxie from BW series. Except, he didn't play guitar, when during the battle with Ash always be distracted by loud music for getting his last badge.

 

[BigDocFan]

Doesn't look like Kommo-o will appearing

 

[KenzeyEevee]

Strange to put a major anouncement at the end of this episode. What could it be about?

 

[Pulsaro23]

I don't know why, but I absolutely love the fact that Druddigon (and Zweilous too, I guess) is bobbing its head as it dodges an attack!

Just look at that and tell me it's not cool.

 

[Lightning Flame Blast]

As excited as I am for this episode, one aspect of it is making my OCD twitch.


Why don’t Dragon Tail and Dragon Claw glow the same color anymore

I know, right? It’s actually a huge downgrade from XY. A lot less cool...

 

[Pulsaro23]

Why don’t Dragon Tail and Dragon Claw glow the same color anymore

Personally, I actually enjoy the pre-XY Dragon Claw (and, by extension, its depiction in this episode) more than the XY one, since, here, it actually looks like a normal Pokémon move, as opposed to the mega shiny hyper version from the last series, which was a little too overwhelming for me.

Speaking of moves (since I never talked about this), can I just say how terrible Dark Pulse looks. They took the move with the most cool and iconic look and turned it into such a generic, lacklustre, ugly and dull move. A shadow of its former self and a complete downgrade. And why, I still don't know.
