Preview JN020: Go Towards Your Dream! Satoshi and Go!!

[SammyW27]

Just please tell me that the battle with Meganium guy won't be 90 seconds long. I can already tell it'll be short without it being rushed so Ash can needlessly increase his rank faster...
(They could've easily done that later in its own episode)

Arceus knows Meganium deserves better.

Typhlosion deserves even more better, with how much the anime has neglected it over the years.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this episode, scenes with Koharu and her brother, Meganium being used in battle for the first time in ages

The fully evolved Johto starters haven't had much focus so here's hoping this series gives them some

 

[FinnishPokéFan92]

Apparently, the Meganium Trainer's name is Seiya and Meganium's nickname is "Soshinium".

Nice to see Meganium getting some promotion

So Go is going to catch a Nidoran(male) and a Nidoran(female) along with a Pigdey atleast Go is actually attempting this catch all Pokemon thing but he needs to either concentrate on the relationship with Raboot or actually using the Pokemon he’s caught.
Also there’s a couple of other things there’s a battle against a Skarmory and possibly a Crobat I cant remember since the preview has been taken down also the scene with a Persian and of course the battle against that guys Meganium with Pikachu, Ash should win

More Pokemon gathering dust at the laboratory

So why weren't Seiya and Meganium's VAs listed to begin with? I guess they wanted it to be a last-minute surprise since they're a comedy duo. They're probably going to get more than a single minute of screentime.

So something on the official twitter; in an upload of the episode's preview they commented (google translation):

"And ... special video after the main broadcast


That person also appeared "

The responses have people wondering what it's about. One person posted a pic of Tracey but that seems unlikely to me, at least one other wondering if it'll be a previous companion or rival, someone hoping for Clemont. In any case seems there will be a post-episode video of some sort.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is a real world person and not a Pokémon character though.

Would be good to see Tracey again but he appears to have been forgotten about

 

[KenzeyEevee]

Interesting hmm

I really hated when he wasn't even acknowledged during the SM series visit to Oak's Lab. At least when he wasn't present at the end of Best Wishes, they acknowledged his existence and have a reason for his absence.

Agreed, even a non speaking cameo at the party near the end would have been good

This is kinda off topic for this thread, but I also disliked how Misty's Azurill was nowhere to be seen and Misty wearing her original clothes instead of her most recent ones.

 

[BigDocFan]

Moving back on topic, its good that we're seeing a Meganium get some focus in battle.

Part of me is curious to see how much rank Ash loses if he lost

Will probably win though

It probably depends on his opponent's rank; he was pretty much rock bottom which is probably why Visquez seemed to drop so much after losing to him while he skyrocketed--I imagine if a really low rank person loses to, say, Lance, they're barely affected.

I agree he probably wins this one though; I expect his first loss to be in an episode about the battle instead of one where it's a smaller part of a multi plot.

 

[BigDocFan]

Agreed, its nice that they're giving us episodes like this with small battles but wish we could have some more battle focused episodes

There at least showing Pokemon that we haven’t seen for a while
This battle will be close I think but Ash will win
