did she just run from a trainer battle??? thats....thats illegal wtf

Yep, and she'd probably do it again

I would often feel like doing that myself in the GBA games, whenever my Pokemon's health was low and the path be covered with trainers.

me training all my pokemons to there max
i remembered training my charmander in route one untill it evolved into charmeleon and defeated Brock and Misty with the move scratch ember and iron tail, at that time my motive was to defeats the pokemon he is weak to like fire type is weak to water ground and rock same i did with my Pikachu but it had no evect on it lol. it was like several years before i defeated the champions and pokemon league from gen 1 to gen 7. all because emulator is working fine on android and i can't go for gen 8 because it's impossible for me. btw Citra Emulator which is officially available on play stone works fine for playing ultra sun and moon and x and y. btw i am using Redmi Note 8 (6gb ram, 128gb storage)

Sakuragi as a villain insane plottwist

and goh was strengthening sakuragi's team the whole time

Used to always see Dawn in English Dub as a kid but feels weird watching her in subbed

Probably be were not used to hearing it

No need to worry

same

I love how Darkrai moved around the map on Goh's Pokedex like how the Roaming Pokemon would in older Pokemon games. It's fitting considering Darkrai is the counterpart to Cresselia, who was also a Roaming Pokemon.

Am I the only one who was scared of the Drifloon when Koharu was alone there? LMAO

I was super scared for Koharu too when I saw those Drifloons. Especially after seeing the pokedex entries AND their cutscene in SM... KOHARU RUN THE HELL OUT OF THERE!! THEY'RE KIDNAPPERS!!

YES ME EXACTLY HAHAH

probably only able to kidnap really young kids, the "10 year olds" of the pokemon world are probably too big!!

whats wrong with drifloon?

Their pokedex entries state they kidnap young kids and take them to the afterlife

oh :O

we need a spooky pokemon mystery show that explores all the dark lore from the pokedex entries

According to many Pokedex entries like HGGS and Sun, it basically kidnaps (or attempts to) children and brings them to the afterlife. :) That's why there was also that event in SM where we see a dead child in a form of a spirit that turns into a Drifloon or had a Drifloon with it because it was that Drifloon that brought that child to that afterlife in the pre-school that she appeared in (or that's the theory which has lots of basis to it)

oh dang thats creepy

18:30 darkrai is protecting Cresselia by making everyone have nightmares.

So darkrai has come in the town to buy some time for cressalia to recover and to distract matori matrix.

For some reason I can't stop thinking that if Ash has Gible with him, they would've reunited with Dawn already even if they aren't aware that she is with Chloe.
It has been too long, but was Dawn that childish back in Diamond and Pearl?

Seeing the more capable agents of Team Rocket hunt Legendaries feels really nostalgic, especially when Ash will be there to stop them.

Dawn's catchphrase is "Daijōbu!", which can be translated as "It's fine!" or "Don't worry!". Although not consistently translated in the English dub at first, she began to regularly use "No need to worry!".

The above paragraph was copied straight from bulbapedia (forgot about her character so I had to look it up). This does seem to indicate that her character hasn't changed much and it's just that most of us watched the english dub (so we got used to something else) and are now confused because we're watching it in Japanese.

That makes sense as this is the first time I watched the Japanese dub of Pokemon.

Me too

though i think we would remember if she got distracted by every little thing!!! not that i remember much from the gen 4 anime other then the Ash and Paul rivalry.

What has Gible to do with this?

Ash's Gible can find Piplup no matter how far he is.

Gible's Draco Meteor

Oh, I remember now. The Draco Meteor...

Exactly the Draco Meteor that somehow could find Piplup no matter where hide.

Yes. Those were so funny scenes. Ash should evolve him into Garchomp. Ash's gible is an extraordinary Pokemon.

Yeah dawn has suddenly become clumsy totally against her character

Dawn was pretty clumsy at the start especially before meeting the group. This was just a small reference to that as well as Piplup liking food a lo and messy hair after sleeping, none of those are going to keep happening. People fall over IRL once in a while even though they're not generally clumsy.

Ash should evolve his older Pokemons or they should do by themselves for Ash for championship.

While I want that, at this point is pointless as sadly they are barely given screen time or even mentioned anymore.

Yes. Nagandale , Nebby , melmetal should be return and with Him forever too .I really miss Solgaleo , melmetal and Nagandale. Pokemon company should think about it.

Dawn!!! Missed her loads, all these "No need to worry"s will be so fun to rewatch in the dub. :)

Really hope we'll get to see some contests in action in the future if next week's ep is solely gonna be focussed on Cresselia, Darkrai and Team Rocket

according to this mini arc preview, we do see Dawn in her contest outfit and decorated pokeball.

Im pretty sure some part of next episode they will give it to Dawn participating in the contest; Monst likely at the very end of the episode

will be nice to watch, also we need to give poor Koharu/Chloe something pokemon related to do!!

08:24 did eevee's va spoke the word "Gomene" or i am hallucinating.

Aw, I really wanted Koharu to do gym battles but it seems that they are pushing her towards contests as well. It would have been nice to see a travelling companion do gym battles instead of Ash since I'm pretty sure no other character has done that, except for like Dawn having a battle with Maylene in DP067 (I'm not sure if Iris has done it as well, I haven't watched BW fully). But at least Dawn's back! :D

nope, at most Iris had a battle with Draiden when she was younger. Would kind of be nice if that had Ash meet a actual Tomboy companion next gen that wanted to do gym battles!!! I just miss watching gym battles!!! and at this point Ash would crush most gyms without a pikachu reset!!

I DONT EVEN CATCH UP WITH POKEMON ANYMORE IM ONLY HERE FOR BEST GIRL HIKARI OMGGG

You haven't miss much

When you thought that Tobias is just a nightmare, but it for real. I still can't believe they made him just to beat Ash to keep him being a Champ. Lol I'm glad they let Ash talk about his fight with Darkai. I'm most shock at Dawn mother is actually a Legendary Champion. Mom is actually a pretty Wiafu.

Wasn't that already established in the very first episode of DP? She's the reason why Dawn is aspiring to be a contest master because her mother is one. They even showed the trophies in her living room as proof. If I remember correctly, it also served as a pillar for Dawn's development in not copying her mother just because she's a contest master and instead, follow her own footsteps and path in her contest :)

would be nice if Koharu became friends with some of Ash's old contest companions

Lol it was to long ago maybe I just forgot.
