Preview is up...

*Brock is narrating and seems to do alot.
*A bus of baby Pokemon (Bagon, Whismur, Larvitar, Seedot, ect.) arrives.
*Nurse Joy fall ill.
*Bagon jumps off a cliff....
*Bagon is in a river as Ash and filler guy run after him.
*ASH THROWS A GIANT LOG WITH HIS HANDS!
*Bagon is sick
*Team Rocket throw a little stick in the air
*Sceptile jumps into the air
*Seviper and Cacnea are atatcking
*Larvitar shoots out and attack.

Seems like a nice filler before the big showdown starts.
 
With the Rivals Forever episode setting up Ash going to Shino, and the possibility of May joining Harley and Drew in Johto (And maybe even Team Rocket going with them), it occured to me in this preview considering how Brock heavy it appears to be, that this episode could set up the leaving of Brock as well.

I mean, they're certainly going out of their way to make sure that we get to know this Pokemon Centre and it's rather eccentric Nurse Joy. And it would be a much better drop-off point for Brock, IMO, than Prof Ivy's.

Not that I'd commit to it, even if they were going to leave him out of it for the next series - they could just leave him back at home - or even have him head off with May. Though I quite like the idea of Brock working in a Pokemon Centre - seems to fit frighteningly well, lol.
 
Everyone wants him to go with Lucy though, lol.

It seems Ash must of stole some of Drew's steroids he uses on Roselia.
 
If Brock is not in the next saga, then in order of likelihood:

Brock goes home > Brock stays with Nurse Joy > Brock goes to Lucy > Brock disappears in a puff of smoke

This looks like an interesting episode, though do we need another episode about Bagon wanting to fly?

I think that's just a short part of it, probably just to show off the quirk again.
 
Brock probably WOULD be happy in this Pokemon Center. You have Joy (and this one actually has a personality), the responsibility of taking care of Pokemon, and the breeding stuff.

Not sure how likely it is to happen, but maybe he will stay here after Ash beats Brandon. Considering it also looks like he takes care of Joy when she's ill, she may show signs of liking him back. If THAT happens, then you know Brock is staying.
 
This episode sounds like the good bye for Brock =[
I'll miss the guy, the writers seem to be writing off every character except for Ash. But I guess at least the writers finally gave him a big role {Sigh}
 
I hope they're not dropping him off now - I mean, he should definitely still be around for Ash's Battle Pyramid rematch...

I'm actually not surprised this Joy worked herself ill, considering how much she runs around like crazy and such. Though I think if this Joy actually does appreciate what Brock does for her? There'll be much whistles and cheers around.

If not, well, we get an awesome Brock-centric episode, including him in a labcoat. And everyone else gets more character development on what has turned out to be the coolest Nurse Joy so far.
 
I can't deny the timing of this Brock-centric episode does seem to heavily indicate he's leaving. I mean, granted, they've had fillers up until the end before, but...

On one hand - I gotta say, I'm already shipping Brock and this Joy. Seriously.

On the other hand - I really want Brock to go to Shinou! And Bonsly, too - can't forget Bonsly.

And then there's the issue of if they do leave him here, and want to bring him back... we'd have an Ivy 2.0 situation on our hands. And we do NOT want a Brock who's afraid of the name "Joy".
 
Yeah. We need more Bonsly. It's too cute to be forgotten. D=

Pie, you KNOW I could make the same argument about May's Munchlax. And considering Munchlax was promoted a hell of a lot more than Bonsly, it's really the same deal, probably more so because GameFreak features the hell out of Munchlax.

Maybe they're getting rid of everyone and having Ash go alone to Shinou? Who knows.

It's times like this I wish an official poster featuring the full D/P cast was revealed. I'm getting tired of all this speculation. -_-
 
What's a Bonsly? Isn't it that one thing with the shell?

And Scott, i've been looking everyday for a poster.

The "OMG Brock leaving the party" speculation is at full blast at Serebii...but until they find another character to take over Brock's job, I don't see him leaving the party anytime soon.

Well there is Gary who will be meeting with Ash soon in Shinou, so he might possibly replace Brock and guide Ash threw Shinou and be the new cook but who knows. LOL There's a party about Brock leaving at Serebii forums? How sad =[

You and me both, I've been checking every where to find a poster for D/P, there should be one soon since its almost September. But belive me when I say this some May fan boy's and girls will be ticked off if May's gone and Brock's still there. I've run into a couple of fans who said that =/

What argument? I know they may very well ditch Brock, Bonsly or no Bonsly. I was just saying I really want to see both Brock and his Bonsly go to Shinou.
