Usually when a character leaves the show, they at least get a return cameo in the following arc. Misty appeared in AG, May appeared in DP, and now Dawn is returning in BW.

However this time more than just the female protagonist has left the show. Brock has left the series to become a Pokemon doctor. Do you think he will get a return cameo in BW showing off his new doctor skills? Will we see Brock and Cilan have a cook-off together?

For me it could go either way, as so far only Dawn is confirmed to have a return appearance. Will Brock get the same?
 
Re: Do you think Brock will get a cameo?

I could see Brock returning. Like Piplup, Croagunk is pretty popular in Japan as well...and hey, he's in the new ED too! :p

Apart from seeing Brock and Cilan meet, and have a cook-off (come on, that needs to happen), I want to see Croagunk and Scraggy together, since I've always viewed them as counterparts...rather odd, part-Fighting Pokemon that unexpectedly reached mascot status. Maybe Croagunk can also Poison Jab Cilan whenever he's being a pain.
 
Re: Do you think Brock will get a cameo?

As much as I like the idea of Croagunk and Scraggy having a rivalry, I was told by Dawn~Berlitz that Brock's special episode concluded his story, which means there's no chance for him to make a single cameo.

I'd probably die from laughing if that happened. I'd definitely like to see Brock return. Wonder if he'll go all girl mode on Iris? lol She's probably too young actually.

I don't know. But I ask you this, will he even need one? No offense but I'm tired, I mean literally tired of Brock all together. He's been on for years. I'm sure we'll see him again but I don't think we need to.
 
Re: Do you think Brock will get a cameo?

I think there's a good chance of Brock appearing some time during BW
We can't say that for sure, but I imagine they'd want to feature both main characters who just left the show and not just Dawn (though I do expect Dawn to get more eps in her visit than what Brock will possibly get)
 
Re: Do you think Brock will get a cameo?

Hey, he got a special episode in Japan didn't he? So yeah, he might get a cameo, or heck they could make him travel with Ash for the next region. I'd sure like the latter of the two. Before somebody jumps on me, I'd like to quote Han Solo from star wars; "never tell me the odds". Anythings possible in the world of anime writing.
 
Re: Do you think Brock will get a cameo?

Considering how he didn't got any follow up(i don't count DP special) and regional cameo after leaving cast, i don't see any reason for him not to appear in BW. Especially when he appears in new games for world tournament, giving writers material to use Brock as one of candidates to help promote BW 2 more.

Maybe he isn't anymore gym leader, and he never was really much of trainer either(not much interested in battling)being involved in world tournament isn't likely to happen. But there are plenty other possibilities for which he could return.

I could see Brock going on a journey to consult with other more experienced doctors from other regions from who he could learn new ways of healing and pokemon treatment which could help him in future career,he could get familiar with critic situations from first hand by having to deal with injured wild or trainer pokemon being test to his abilities as doctor as opposite to everything happening in controlled environment like pokemon center is where all equipment is at your disposal.
It would be interesting to see him doing field work and research on pokemon outside of center along with learning about new ways of curing from first hand by meeting other specialists not only relying on books making sense serving as way to enrich his knowledge which could help him when passing test and examiners in future trying to become doctor.

And of course battling isn't out of option really, being one of good ways to show how healthy and well raised Brock pokemon are through competition . He has nice collection of pokemon and seeing how people which aren't trainers tend to battle sometimes, Brock could do same being involved in it for one or another factor.

But what i would be really like to see is cooking competition between Brock and Cilan. That would be great .

This doesn't prevent Brock from coming back at all. He was in same situation when decided to stay with prof. Ivy but that didn't stopped writers from reopening character story doing continuation.

Also Brock DP special was in reality only follow up on his doctor career with story being left undefined and open in some fields. For instance we don't know what are Brock future plans and if he plans to stay at Pewter or go somewhere else. If he wants to become traveling doctor, or open pokemon center nor it has been explained what other steps he may need to do aside from studying to become doctor(in pokeworld rules are different from real life).

That said it wasn't much of follow up either, given how special barely focused on Brock career being mainly about Forrest and saving gym.
 
Re: Do you think Brock will get a cameo?

Brock's story is concluded, he is studying hard to be a doctor. Some others are adventuring. I think the other old characters can show up, but probably in a brief 1 episode cameo in the future. Either near the end of this generation or in a 25 year anniversary.

Since he didn't become doctor with there not being defined what are his future plans, his story isn't exactly finished with same going for Dawn, May, Misty, Max etc. He definitely has unfinished things on which writers could expand and create justification behind return. Even if someone story is finished, last time i checked writers can always reopen it, expand and do sequel.

As for other characters, im pretty sure we are going to see them before 25th anniversary being too important and popular to end up ignored like they were minor fill ups which never mattered. I believe how aside from Dawn, Misty and Brock might play some important part in BW 2 filler arc being used to advertize new games and receive more development to their story as well.

At very least Brock, since he still didn't got regional cameo like others in past did. That and along with Dawn he was cast member which recently left.

All the special did was show Forrest become the gym leader.

I can see Brock returning, maybe doing some field work. Plus, it would be cool to see some of his Pokemon that we haven't seen in a while like Steelix, Geodude, Crobat, Ludicolo, etc.
 
Re: Do you think Brock will get a cameo?

I hope not. He wore out his welcome BEFORE DP and I don't really don't want to see him again. Those running gags about him and hitting on people got OLD! (though he's pop one at the Girl Unova GLs and cuter Joys).

However...
Maybe Croagunk can also Poison Jab Cilan whenever he's being a pain.

I'd so love this. That oughtta get the rainbow to shut up! :lol:
 
Tasting Time and Love Chaser in the same eppy (at the same damn time :D). Would be so sweet to happen, I expect one for Brock either ways, tho :)

And you're accepting her opinion as fact? The same could have been said of Dawn, but lookie lookie she made her BW debut.

Anyway, I could totally see Brock returning in the future. It doesn't feel like he's been gone that long, and I wouldn't mind seeing how far he's progressed as a doctor. Plus I really wouldn't mind seeing ol' Croagunk as well, Croagunk was a pretty popular Pokemon during DP sales wise surprisingly. I wouldn't mind him showing up with a new Poekemon or two, us learning how dang far he's come. Plus Brock's Chansey, it connects to him being a doctor and he might have actually won Nurse Joy over haha.

I never saw the DP special, but he did, and if what he said is true, then it must be true. And Dawn's story hasn't been concluded yet, because I keep hearing she's in Hoenn.

Well sorry about the gender confusion.

There isn't a reason for Dawn to appear either, but "hey" she's appearing now isn't she? Her story was wrapped up with her continuing to strive to be a Top Coordinator in the Hoenn Region, her reasons for returning might not even be contest related. So it makes the point of Brock not returning cause he's a doctor pretty moot. Again, your words are not fact, they're simply speculation and theories.
 
Its common sense how Brock was not "concluded" because as long he doesn't become doctor we can't state that his story was finished up. Same goes for May and Dawn receiving open ended departure. While some like Misty or Max didn't got any real closure being stuck at one place with their dreams ending unresolved not being established future plans.

DP special showing Brock studying to become doctor(for whole 5 minutes)was follow up on his new career, not conclusion. Writers didn't established in what direction Brock carer of becoming doctor will go, what kind of doctor he will become and ultimately where he plans to stay leaving loose ends around character.

If Dawn could return in BW despite there not existing contests, who is to say Brock couldn't comeback as well. Especially when he appears in new games, with journey there actually bringing benefit to his story with his career drawing lot of parallels with veterinarian call. Last time i checked doctors tend to travel to conventions to consult with others, veterinarians travel to farms and places outside of town if needed to provide help in healing animals and if they want to learn more and improve constantly they visit pother specialists from who they could learn and gain more experience.

Brock could do same, traveling to BW filler arc to catch new pokemon helping him in future work as doctor, visit other pokemon specialists and do field work and research which could help him in future studies. We don't even know what someone needs to fulfill in pokemon world before becoming doctor being vastly different than procedure which we follow in real life. There probably exist criteria some needs to fulfill to become doctor and pass evaluators making sense if aside from studying there exist other tests too.

Like practice by utilizing your knowledge outside doing field work or like i mentioned before even battle evaluator. Since we are talking in here about pokemon doctor, through battle with Brock own pokemon tester could determine how resistant and healthy they are when facing effort and big level of activity which battling requires serving as indication to determine how well he can take care of pokemon.

Argument how Brock cant come back, because he is doctor is weak in itself, because doctors aren't tied to one place being allowed to travel to improve like gym leaders, professors, E4 etc do. Same could have been said when Brock decided to stay with prof. Ivy after Kanto working to become better breeder , but as we got to see this didn't stopped his return to start traveling again and advance dream in other way.

Someone receiving closure doesn't mean writers can create new subplots and do sequel on someone story developing him more than it was originally intended.

I believe Brock will receive some follow up in future and return for few episodes, But than again i wouldn't be too shocked if he becomes main character for third time in a row. After all we are talking about Brock in here, only main character which was given second chance.
