So unless I missed something, the previous thread was locked and no new one was made...
http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/program/detail/19406_201006171900.html
Seems like Leona's VA is there... of course, she could do any other character, but remember that Leona said she's doing Gyms... we might actually see her participating at the League (we know that in this Buck ep they arrive at Suzuran Island, where the League will take place... so it's logical they'll meet at least one of Ash's rivals there, and Leona is one)
 
It was discussed in the other thread... why does there need to be another one?
 
Link? Maybe I'm blind, but all I saw here is a locked thread for both DP 180-181
DP 180 got a new thread... DP 181 didn't... if there IS a new thread for 181 - I'd like to get a link
 
Wow that was quick.

Also, I need to mention Akeno Watanabe also did Jump, not just Leona. It is possible she is doing Buck(I guess, I never heard her voice :p). Not to mention only odd VA here is her.

Satsuki Yukino (Pokedex, Buneary, Marian's VA) is here. Of course Baltoy will be scanned or some shit.

Chie Sato(Seviper's VA) is here.

Daisuke Sakaguchi(Gible, Carnivine, Sudowoodo) is here. But considering how big of plot device it is, they would spoil us if Gible were to learn Draco Meteor I think.

Edit: Can somebody translate(accurately) the summary?

A friend of mine translated it so here is what he told me :

Baku is not partcipating league
he is searching for treasure
He then shows them a treasure map
Map shows mysterious signs
They are Mysterious Drawings of Pokemon
And Ash decides to help him so he can also train his pokemon a long the way.

And it is suppose treasure lies deep in the island.


LOl me thinks that Baku is looking for pirate treasure . Big Plot twist BAKU IS A PIRATE!!!!!!!!!
 
The summary does indeed say that Buck won't be competing in the League. That should mean that the legendary-using trainer is going to be a more interesting character, but hopefully one who is still from the games (not DPPt).

so it's logical they'll meet at least one of Ash's rivals there, and Leona is one

At what point did she become Ash's rival? Not every character of the day who has a few badges is eligible for the League, and Leona didn't even have any in the episode of her sole appearance. I would find it particularly unbelivable if she managed to get eight badges in less time than Ash and his actual rivals.

Well, you do have to take into the account that Ash has two other people traveling with him. And Dawn had her own quest to compete in so it did slow Ash down a little. I'm not trying to say that negatively, I'm just saying that could explain why Leona got her badges faster, if she is even gonna be in the league.

But then again, Paul and Barry travel alone as well, so who knows. But Paul got his 8th badge much earlier than Ash did, so I dunno.

Both Leona and Allan are the only characters in DP that we know are doing Gyms too other than the rivals show in the OP
DP is good with continuity, so I won't be surprised if they return in the League (they'll probably get minor focus compared to the others if they do return)

Character of the day? Characters who are REALLY COTDs never appear again in any shape or form (well, almost never...)
Leona was mentioned again and appeared in a flashback with an actual speaking role later... and Allan got a cameo in Fantina's flashback
So both were reminded to viewers after their first ep

Of course they might not appear at all, but I think we should consider it as a possibility until proved otherwise

and Leona didn't even have any in the episode of her sole appearance. I would find it particularly unbelivable if she managed to get eight badges in less time than Ash and his actual rivals.

Leona never said how many badges she currently had back in her first ep
I don't know why you randomly decided she didn't have any badges at all... (I'm pretty sure she said she took a break from her journey because of her parents' problem, so she didn't leave home first on that ep if you thought so)
 
...I'm really looking forward to this episode. Buck's one of my favourite game characters, so this'll be a blast~ :3

Cue the Phantom!

Or perhaps Drake's crew really is a band of pirates, and his BROTHER's a member? Ohohohoho.
...Or not.

If Allan & Leona show up, they'll probably be shown battling in the preliminaries. Doubt they'll make it to the final 16.

That's not true exactly, considering Ash only had 2 badges at that point. And Barry had less than Ash. And somehow managed to beat him (well if only because Beacon Badge was handed out like Candy).

Plus there's the fact that there was a month before the Sinnoh League after Ash's 8th badge.

Are you saying that a trainer would never be able to get all measly 8 badges if they had zero when Ash only had 2 at the time? Even especially with all the stuff Ash had to do before he could do gym battles (like Dawn's stuff, and all those filler or non-filler episodes?)

Wow that's a big stretch. Regardless if Leona will be a competitor or not is besides the point. I still say it's a big stretch, since even Ash and Brock tied with Leona and Dawn (and Ash had 2 badges at that point).

Edit: At least the summary (and the VA list) implies Ash will be training Gible in this episode.

Guess that settles it...

Really ? That's how Ash is gonna train his pokémon ? By treasure hunting... Didn't he learn anything from the clusterfuck that was his pre-Indigo League training session...

Why wouldn't he/she be from DPPt ? I don't really se a whole lot of HGSS characters that could come to be legendary trainers... Who do you think it's gonna be ? Sakura ?

Both of them look like prime suspects for being generic preliminary battles opponent. I'll take both of them over COTD and it would close their storyline.

Leona. :/
Who wants to see her again?

Now, Allen, he was a cool customer. Plus, you know, Probopass. :)

Disappointed that we won't see Heatran own in the League though. :/
 
Don't worry, her VA is probably doing Buck, not Leona. That being said, I don't see what would be so wrong in seeing Ash fight Leona in the preliminaries of the League instead of seeing him fight a random generic COTD ?

Yes, I'd rather see Ash battle a random character than Leona who is ugly.

Besides, I like all those neat designs they come up with for all the random people Ash has battled at the Indigo/Johto/Hoenn leagues aside from the main rivals.

Remember Clark from the Hoenn league who used Quilava/Charizard? He was a conductor.
 
Yeah, Leona was a chick who looked like Kenny in an episode that was pretty much a copy of an old Johto filler...can't see why anyone would be excited to see her again. :/

Even if Leona is unappealing there is no way in hell she could even remotely be considered the ugliest thing in the world.

So...what makes you think the hypothetical random character you speak of will be any more appealing?
