Preview JN038: Miracle Restoration, the Fossil Pokémon!

[JinksChow]

It was in the museum in Generation IV.

But in the latest games to feature Kanto (Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee), you revive fossils at the Cinnabar Lab on Cinnabar Island.

But that is not a Kanto Game, but a Johto game. So that doesn't count.

I hope Ash will dig some other Fossil rather then Old Amber.

Good points...

I doubt Ash will catch anything here.

 

[R1ke]

Damn there goes the Alola two parter possibility then. Well it was fun speculating about it whilst it lasted I guess.

Guess this holds up now.

Good to see Chloe come back though. Goh (probably) getting Aerodactyl seems interesting as well - hope he earns it though like with Flygon.

 

[Tom1291]

It's why that Ash hasn't got a Fossil Pokémon for a long year.

 

[BigDocFan]

I'm curious to see what role Chloe will play in this episode, she is seriously underused so can't wait to see her get more involved

 

[Panky..]

Wasn't really interested in the episode due to the writer, the summary just made it a real downer now with the plot suddenly jumping to Kanto instead of being an Alola 2-parter. And seems like there's no spoiler at all, at most we might even see a re-enactment of Attack of Prehistoric Pokemon and a Raboot evolution.

Yay for more Koharu involvement, I guess? Wonder what this means though...

overflowing with romanticism

 

[Lightning Flame Blast]

Why was this title a secret for so long? Is anybody shocked that this fossil episode involves reviving?

I have no idea, but now I think it wasn't because if some huge reveal.

Pew... ter... city...

Are you sure there is nothing else in Pewter city, Ash?

Real talk: while it is disappointing this isn’t happening in Alola, the Pewter City museum has never been seen and I guess we can’t complain about Goh catching Kanto Pokémon in Kanto.

And I’m sure the Alola cast are just going to be constant presences in any Alola episode.

Suddenly? We haven't had any two-parter yet and they always go back to Kanto at the end of each episode. Hopefully that will change eventually, but there was no hint of that being the case this time. Just conjecture based on the volcano, even though Cinnabar fits that description.

If the episode takes place entirely in Pewter, then that will be pretty weird. Mt. Moon is no volcano.

Maybe the volcano isn't real but part of the exhibit, a recreation of a prehistoric landscape?

Not true. Not true at all.

Um what buddy? We've had several two-parters (though they've been Galar only), and prime opportunities for many more that were squandered. They could have just utilized that Jurassic park NPC's idea and expanded upon it for an Alola 2-parter instead of setting yet another episode in Kanto, the Jurassic park guy's idea would have at least utilized all fossil Pokemon instead of Kanto native resurrections only.

Speaking of sudden jumps, be prepared for Pewter City to only be part of a 5 minutes slideshow. Conveniently avoiding the Flint family as well...

 

[Johtohfiller]

I'm glad Koharu is here but I wish this were in Alola. I hope they don't have a policy against spending more than one episode in a row in any region other than Kanto or Galar.

 

[Tom1291]

So Ash, Goh and Chloe were digging some Fossil Pokémon, hmm?
Goh is getting Aerodactyl, which I thought that Ash will get it but... oh, well.
While Ash or Chloe gets....
Omanyte, Kabuto, Lileep, Anorith, Cranidos, Shieldon, Tirtouga, Archen, Tyrunt or Amaura

Goh is getting Aerodactyl, which I thought that Ash will get it but... oh, well.

It was seen on Goh's side in the opening.

Omanyte, Kabuto, Lileep, Anorith, Cranidos, Shieldon, Tirtouga, Archen, Tyrunt or Amaura

I don't personally think Ash or Chloe will get anything here.

 

[Sheep]

): o awwww
Bit of a bummer this isn't an Alola episode, but I'll still take seeing the Pewter Museum and especially Chloe being involved. Curious to see what she'll do.

 

[Lightning Flame Blast]

Amaura would fit Chloe, ngl.

Kinda annoyed that Goh might get an Aerodactyl. He got a flying reptile with rock moves two episodes beforehand, does he really need to have another major one like that
