Last week, when they were doing a similar presentation of the 18 Teramons, they took a one day break on Friday presumably because it would've gotten in the way of the episode promo tweets. They'll probably do the same today.

It doesn't look like they're changing the cast or anything drastic, there was already a teaser with Ditto so they'll do a Pokopia tie-in. It might be "filler" in that gen 10 clearly got delayed from its originally intended release and they've been calling the current events the final battle, but there are still plotlines to explore like Uruto's father so I assume they do have something in mind if they have to keep this series running for another year/year and a half and aren't just going to stall for time like say, Decolora Islands in BW.

Spinel is really approaching this very intelligently. He knows he probably can't really do that much against Megafug and whatnot, but he also knows that all he has to do is force at least one of the good guys to use at least one of the 18 Teramons and then knock it out.
He basically shat all over Dot, Botan and Nemo's teams last week, and might do the same with Roy and Friede this week, so now the time has come for Liko, Diana, Anne and Amethio's teams.

Also I wonder if the fact kleavor and gouging fire look normal size is anything or just perspective, lapras, arboliva and rayquaza also look like they've shrunk down to game size but they're all in the sky.

By which I don't mean they'd end the anime entirely if that was unclear, but rather that they'll just keep the current continuity and cast going.

>>287513367
I think they'll do a new show with new characters, they're free of being tied down to 'legacy' now. If they don't and continue using the current cast it'd be a really bad move, you can't just drag this shit on forever, surely they understand this by now.

Miraidon itself is odd because there's only Orange Academy in the anime. Though I guess they could just say the professor's time machine pulled paradox mons from both the past and the future even though future ones haven't been seen so far.

The time machine stops working at the end of SV's main plot. Then again, they could not follow it that closely or they could also have Terapagos fart more pink gas and time displace more paradoxes anyway.

>There are people who sincerely give a fuck about Pokémon animes in 2026
I seriously don't know what compels you people to keep watching this repetitive, boring and terribly written dogshit that I grew out of when I was six years old. Literally any other kodomo anime coming out right now is worth watching over this shit

The existence of them isn't dependent on the version. It's merely the Pokemon that becomes prominent by the professor who either travels into the past or the future from which it comes from. Both exist no matter the version so the anime iteration could be where the professor or both of them could've potentially found a way to get both box legendaries into the present before they got unalived in Area Zero.

Not only that, we also see illustrations that bring Pokemon Go, Pokemon Unite and Pokemon Sleep to mind.

It's finally time for the conclusion to the decisive battle over Rakua; Will Liko and the others be able to together stop Spinel's schemes?

This has to be the most shameless forced advertisement corporate mandate clusterfuck I have seen in my entire life. Genuinely embarrassing to take a look at that poster just because of how much shit it's crammed on on it.
You REALLY can tell they got buttfucked by the many delays of things and are desperately trying to come up with something to fill in time. I can't tell if it's funny or sad.

Very badly.
This is Decolore 2.0 Mobile Game Edition. It's literal filler because Gen 10 got delayed to next year and that fucked up the entire marketing cycle, more than it already was thanks to the Switch 2 delay.
It's gonna be fucking awful short of ten miracles in a row happening.

I'm happy to finally get some downtime episodes, honestly. This series has been extremely plot driven, and while that's fine, it kinda lost something by not giving the characters time to just hang out and do fun shit like in the fan favorite Metamon Block and Irukaman episodes.

Unite will probably be a tournament arc. Sleep will probably be like 1 or 2 episodes of trying to help a Snorlax who can’t sleep. Go… well I have no clue. They already showcased coin collecting so who knows?

I'd have him introduce them all while his wynaut does that quirk that confirms he's just making shit up and leave how they're really here as vague had waves.

I’d like to think the next arc focuses mainly on Uruto and the new girl. Uruto becoming his own legend in some way. Also I wonder if the new girl actually joins the team of if she’s just hiring the RVTs.

They wouldn't be able to adapt its story because it relies on the plot of XY and they already burned through Zygarde, but they could do the ZA Royale tournament with all the group leaders to crown the strongest mega evolution user.

The souless advertising is bad enough, but it's really bleak that the only spin-offs they can pull from are bad mobile games. I hope Pokopia's success makes them realize they can still make money from successful console spin-offs at least.

I recall a couple future Paradox Pokémon being discussed when the characters were investigating the academy library, though of course they only ever mentioned and showed the Scarlet Book and past Paradoxes in Area Zero so the future ones are in a weird existential limbo in the anime.

Etc etc.... Are you just being anal about the my wording? Ok, but still my man. I'm just saying they should have sohdayo introduce the origins that are given from the scarlet pokedex since he works for that specific magazine.

I agree on more stuff being revealed a tiny bit earlier but contextualize with what they show. Saves questions that get answered by a weekly manner.
Think about it, how would you see it if it came two or three episodes earlier?

Documents from the leaks, stay with ne here, indicate that it was initially planned for Zygarde and Rayquaza to be the guardians of Rakua. I would be surprised if that ends up being how they write the legendaries out of the story. Having them remain in Rakua and protect it.

Calling this: Turtle seals deathstone and went into eternal slumber while the rest of the heroes passed on; closing off the main story.
It's obvious we're getting post story episodes after this, featuring the Paldea/Kitakami Pokémon that the gang have yet to encounter with the spinoffs serving as filler arcs: ending with a Tournament Arc with Champions.

Likely. It's not much of an issue for Liko and Amethio because they have those Pokémon specifically to save Rakua, but for Roy catching Rayquaza was his lifelong dream. I guess it will be okay if they frame him parting ways with it as him deciding he'll catch even more legendaries as his next goal.

At least BW Trio had actual chemistry and character while TRio gone back to funny. Not to mention they brought Ash's Charizard, Alexa and Clair . Horizon characters are by far the most boring and uninteresting group of characters.

Obviously Liko won’t be around for 23 years like Ash but I have faith she’ll be here for a while and we won’t get some new shitty gen 10 girl who you know won’t be sexy in the slightest.Please? Let her stay.
