The group come across a Manyula (Weavile) that has been seperated from its group. Then another Weavile and Sneasel turn up and the Weavile's start fighting for some reason.

Since we know that Weavile's travel in pairs, they'll probably make up by the end of the episode. Judging by the preview, Max will be involved in that.

Even so, I'm not that bothered about the fact that I probably won't get to see this episode.
 
Well, Jessie is seen with starry eyes, and Meowth seems to be getting angry.....I say we may get a capture......

I think that other Sneasel evolves, as one of the Weavile's seen has no scar.

Eh...at least this seems to be the last filler for a while.
 
Or they are thinking of a capture... maybe Meowth is remembering what happened the last time they tried to add a Sneasel to the team?
 
I think the main thing is that they've already been seen wanting a Sneasel as a member of their team, which we almost never see. If they travel in pairs I think the Sneasel will evolve and TR may actually get one of the Weavile. Jessie is the only one of the recuring characters who hasn't caught or gotten any new pokemon this season.
 
Hell, she hasn't actually got a Pokemon since AG episode 12 (not counting evolution of Wurmple as 'getting' a new Pokemon)
 
This close to Shino, I don't really see it. It's likely that Cacnea, Seviper and Dustox will be replaced with Shino Pokemon in the next series. Especially Cacnea and Dustox since no-one obviously gives a shit about their existence any more. ^^
 
Sadly, I have a feeling Drapion may replace Seviper in Shino, luckily, he is god like.

Click to expand...

Weavile technically IS a Shino Pokémon.
 
I think Seviper and Cacnea will still be around. They didn't replace Arbok/Weezing when we went to Johto.

Dustox will most likely be released, as it lost its original purpose. The whole point to Dustox in the first place was it was meant to be a rival to May's Beautifly. This is why they both caught Wurmples, and why Jessie used Dustox in her beginning Contests.

Now that May left Beautifly at her house, Dustox lost its point for being on Jessie's team.
 
I'd be more than happy with Dorapion replacing Seviper, but it doesn't need to happen. Arbok wasn't replaced until the 3rd generation. If there is a new snake pokemon she will probably capture that since that seems to be what she catches. Dustox is pretty much done though. They could do a Butterfree like thing with that because I doubt they'll keep it much longer. A Weavile would probably be pretty good at contests if she keeps trying to get into those.
 
Hmm.....I wonder if Seviper could get a evo, and maybe Cacnea an alternate evo or simply go into Cacturne?

And maybe bring back Chimecho for the inevitable evo of his he'll get..
 
Jessie could just be really happy that she's eating. Whoever put the preview together could be messing with us

It does fit her character since it isn't the first time she has had a reaction like that to food.
 
Seen the episode, nothing special really:
*Ash is walking with Aipom and Pikachu on him, Aipom runs off.
*Lone Weavile (I'll call him Mufasa) fights Aipom, and wins.
*Ranger COTD (as in park ranger) helps Aipom and explains that Mufasa attacks everyone as it is not with the local Weavile/Sneasel pack.
*Mufasa is shown thinking back to leaving the clan, and this Sneasel, who I'm guessing is a girl, is trying to stop him.
*Team Rocket want to get Mufasa, well mainly Jessie, Meowth dresses up like Weavile, twerps come and tries to get Mufasa back in the clan, then Sneasel comes.
*Mewoth translates that Mufasa lost a fight with another Weavile, who I'll call Scar. Scar gave Mufasa the three cuts on his face by using a shadow ball, then slicing Mufasa in the face. I think Mufasa was the clan leader before then.
*Scar comes with his gang of Weavile, Jessie seems to cheer on Mufasa, Mufasa blasts TR off (I'm not sure if Jessie was cheering for Mufasa or Scar)
*Pikachu fights off the Weavile, Ash encourages Mufasa to fight for pride.
*Big fight, Scar tries using the same shadow ball + slash combo, then the music that plays during the title screen of movies starts to play as Mufasa flips over Scar on the ground, holds up his claws at his face, but lets him be.
*Sneasel helps Scar up, then Mufasa and him shake hands.
*Chiisaki Mono instrumental begins to play! That song makes me cry, even in this episode.
*The Weavile's and co. leave as Mufasa gives Ash a "thumbs up".
*Aipom is healed, everyone leaves.
 
Chiisaki Mono!

Great ep, a lot of standard filler stuff but the Weavile battle and Chiisaki Mono bits make it great.
 
*notices the [HASHTAG]#pocketmonsters[/HASHTAG] forum is gone, zomg wtf*

The torrent isn't working for me. It just leads to a page of nonsense characters.

Am.. I allowed to post about that? >>

Oh! A Small Thing is in this ep?! Now I must see it.
 
When they were introducing themselves, did I hear Takashi say "Orewa Takashi desu."? Isn't "ore" a first-person, masculine, arrogant pronoun?
