Preview JN036: Satoshi and Go, Crawl Up From the Sand Hell!

[Rainbow-Rain]

Geez, I hope that Ash doesn't end up on a losing streak after losing to Bea.

He's only gonna be like that for about 1 Episode it seems (Flygon) then he'll be back on track after Alola

 

[Matleo]

Sandaconda gigantamax???? Flygon?

Sandaconda gigantamax???? Flygon?

Flygon. The summary states that outright. And the opening shows who's going to catch it.

 

[MarshiyanMisutaa]

I'm still awakening in the middle of night, thinking about this episode's name.

A massive sandstorm has started blowing in the Houen region! Satoshi and Go rise to the challenge of investigating this sandstorm that supposedly lures people inside it with a beautiful song, but then a Flygon appears! What now?!

Summary:
Ever since his battle against Saito, Satoshi has kept performing poorly in official battles. Meanwhile, a strange, massive sandstorm has started blowing in Kinsetsu City in the Houen Region. This sandstorm supposedly lures people inside it with a beautiful song. Satoshi and Go head there to investigate and find out if this is the work of a yet to be discovered Pokémon, and as they go up against the mystery of the sandstorm, they eventually end up battling the powerful Pokémon Flygon. But as the Flygon uses its speed to toy with Satoshi, Go tries a surprising tactic!!

[Rocket Messiah]

Team Rocket not beeing here is good.

They have to be in the next episode

THEY HAVE TO BE THERE.

LOOLLL We all knew it.

Was fun while it lasted.

The hints of Pikachu evolving was beyond ridiculous

The hints of Pikachu evolving was beyond ridiculous

Just establishing Pikachu's resolve to a newer generation of viewers.

Its good to have a VA for Flygon though am slightly disappointed that there aren't more Pokemon VA's revealed

 

[Eclipsical]

I’m looking forward to this episode. Ash and Goh development, a Flygon being added to the main cast, Sobble battling. Very excited.

I wonder if Goh will catch anything else, and if Mauville City will look more like it’s ORAS depiction.

 

[FinnishPokéFan92]

My guess is the episode will start with Ash either losing or only barely winning a WCS match, showing that he's in a slump.

 

[MurotanGekkiLuv]

I wonder if Goh will catch anything else, and if Mauville City will look more like it’s ORAS depiction.

I agree that Mauville City should look the way it is in ORAS in this episode...

I'm still awakening in the middle of night, thinking about this episode's name.

And I'm still thinking about what a shit translation "Sand Hell" is of 砂地獄.

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

Poor Dragonite and Gengar... "Ash loss arc" sounds less like an Ash loss arc and more like "How to shoehorn more Riolu".

 

[Singaporean]

Poor Dragonite and Gengar... "Ash loss arc" sounds less like an Ash loss arc and more like "How to shoehorn more Riolu".

Not just a loss, but three straight loss.

What was the point in giving him Dragonite and Gengar if they never show up anyways?

 

[FinnishPokéFan92]

The "surprise strategy" is... goggles?

I don't think that's necessarily the strategy mentioned in the summary.

 

[Eeveely]

The "surprise strategy" is... goggles?

I don't think it is, they wore them before going to the sandstorm and the problem was flygon's speed not the sand itself.
