You mean like a Mew.....................................in diguise?

No I mean like a Kricketot whose awesome biding and growling power has made him legendary. An uberKricketot if you prefer. Maybe the father of all Kricketot.

Maybe a Mew in disguise, it fits with the harp

You gotta admit that would be a pretty good twist if Nando's Kricketot was a Mew the entire time.

Either that or it's a top percentage Kricketot

Since we're getting the Buck episode right before the league what do you think the likelihood is of getting him as the legendary trainer? I mean he is a really good trainer and if he were the trainer than Heatran could be the legendary pokemon he faces in the league.

Well, it makes sense. After all, he is the brother of Flint, an E4 member. But still it's highly unlikely.

This. I think that that final scene in the dressing room and Ursula staying to watch the final, I think there's something unresolved between Dawn/Ursula so I expect to see her again.

Maybe they're planning to make Ursula Dawn's primary rival if she goes to Isshu with Ash. I wouldn't drop that possibility because Dawn does have a slight chance of staying.

You gotta admit that would be a pretty good twist if Nando's Kricketot was a Mew the entire time.

I SEE WUT YOU DID THAR!!! :D *shot*

But I like the whole Kricketot is Mew thing.

It really would, as we wouldn't really have seen it coming.

Except Mew cannot learn Sing in the games either...

So yeah it is confirmed to be Myuu!

or not... it's a possibility.

Maybe I should disappear with the G/S Ball. Maybe then I can travel through time and not have to deal with at least some of this mess.

Ssh.

It is a possibility because I said so. I have a better understanding of the animé then most.

Kidding of course you hot stud you.

Though I do hope we don't see Koroboshi again. Korotock was bad enough next to the Mimilop.

I can see the legendary pokemon being a 5th gen pokemon instead of Riley making a comeback or something. What better way to send Ash off to Isshu than to have him lose to a legendary pokemon from that land?

...I'm still hoping for Riley though.

I'm just happy Ursula was brought back at all. Let's be honest, I would have thought Kenny would have gotten a rematch with Dawn over Ursula, who already lost to Dawn 2wice already. The fact that the writers brought her back, even if it was to lose for a 3rd time, I think we'll see her again.

Ursula was awesome, and so was Soledad IMO. I hope we get a glimpse of May beating Soledad. Does anyone even remember Soledad?

Soledad did go to Johto, and was seen in a cameo watching May in the Wallace Cup. It's not like she's not relevant.

I love how Soledad and Ursula are both pink haired female late addition rivals that are totally different.

I really don't know how this league will be paced. 8 episodes filled with how many battles? All those Pokemon in the opening have to get at least one battle.

What's so hard to understand here? 8 is more than enough...
1 - quickly do the torch/rivals meeting, show us at least one preliminaries battle
2 - rush the rest of preliminaries, then Ash VS Conway
3 - Ash VS Nando
4 - Barry VS Paul or Ash
5 - Semi final: Ash VS Paul start
6 - Ash VS Paul end
7 - Final: Ash VS legendary user
8 - Legendary user win the League, we hear what the rivals plan to do next and conclude their story

So no, there's absolutely no need at all for more than 8 eps, especially when the twerps already arrive at the island in DP 181 and we get a set up ep in DP 182
10 eps for anything is exaggerated and shouldn't happen... only if they really make an awesome story during the League alongside all the battles...

Then we might have 3 eps left... one ep for Brock, then 2 eps for Dawn leaving Ash and Ash going to Isshu... makes sense to me

We have till what episode, 193-194? If so, it won't go farther then 190, to give the ending some space.

Most likely we'll get to 193 eps, which without counting the skipped recap eps is 191 (exact same amount of eps AG had)

Quite frankly, whichever is the last episode before the League (DP182 or DP183), I think they'll pull the same trick they did at the GF which is have Ash, Dawn and Brock arrive at the League at the end of the episode before the League begins.

Ep1: Short rival scene, first preliminary battle
Ep2-3: 2nd preliminary battle. Minor rival interaction. Ash v Conway, Dawn/Ash training session to prepare for Nando and a Dawn/Conway scene First shot of Ash v Nando.
Ep4-5: Ash v Nando and Ash v Barry
Ep6-7: minor Barry/Paul/Ash interaction, Ash v Paul, Ash wins, Beginning of Ash v Legendary trainer (both throw a pokéball, maybe one pokémon goes down)
Episode 8: Ash v LT, outcome unknown.

I could see them making it 9 to give them some breathing, but that's only if Conway isn't a preliminary battle. If not then it fits really well. The only way I could see them making it 10 is if Brock finds his new goal at the League itself (like helping injured pokémon at the local hospital) and that the subplot boils over to maybe half an episode.

4 - Barry VS Paul or Ash
Why would an entire episode not be focused on Ash? I know that this is what happened with Dawn in the third Grand Festival episode, but the focus on Zoey was meant to show that she was more skilled than Dawn and thus more worthy of becoming a Top Coordinator. In contrast, I doubt that the writers want anyone to root for Paul.

Besides, Ash will be using a grand total of 16 Pokémon, whereas Dawn had six team members that got equal screentime (if Dawn's semifinals had received more focus, Cyndaquil and Buneary would have had the most screentime). Some of Ash's Pokémon are inevitably going to lose, which is why they should have more than one chance to be showcased. With that in mind, any opportunity for a battle should not be spared.

If Brock does leave they're probably going to dedicate an entire episode to it, or at least a large part of one. He might leave before Dawn does, or maybe around the same time.

Actually I thought it was quite obvious that Nando was actually Mew in disquise. And UberKricketot is actually the master.

Barry is a fan of Paul and Paul refused to battle him when they met... it makes sense plot wise to see them battle now
Also, it can help proving how good Paul is right now and that Ash will have to work really hard to beat him...
I can see it go either way... I don't find one case more likely than the other, so we'll have to wait and see
