I SO wanna see Masukippa and Naetle team up and fight. XD

Is that a Snagging Machine on her arm???

 

[Cybersai]

Does she bare any similarities to any Team Galaxy members? (I haven't played the games, so I have no idea what they look like)

 

[Habunake]

No.

She looks like Wes from Colloseum. 0.o

 

[GreatLiver]

Yeah if anything I would say she looks like either Wes or one of those four musician people from Ranger.

 

[Lucifer Angel]

Guess I don't have to spot the pics after all.

 

[Nekusagi]

So we're getting a Collosseum crossover, possibly?

...Whoa. Considering the design in Collosseum is NOTHING like that in the anime.

Killer trenchcoat, by the way.

 

[Zeta]

Looks like someone from Team Snatch or Team Shadow, not Team Galaxy.

 

[Habunake]

Yeah.

And since the summary mention more of them, crazy theory, but perhaps the Anime is making their own evil team?

 

[Doctor Oak]

If they're basing it on Team Snaggem, hardly.

Looks awesome, I personally didn't think a Colosseum/XD crossover would even work in the anime but the snag machines themselves are a fantastic thing to include.

I'd much rather go down this route than Team Galaxy at this point, to be honest. The way the Galaxy plot is set up, there's no reason it can't be left to be dealt with at a later date.

 

[Cybersai]

Or...they could have Team Galaxy in Movie 10, which would make a lot of sense.

[Doctor Oak]

Even at that, the chances are still that Dialga/Palkia will probably surface in the anime itself at some point (I may be wrong, but aside from the fake one in the Mastermind special - which still counts in a way - Mew is the only legendary to not feature in the anime itself... right?), and the chances are that they'll probably use Team Galaxy to include them.

I guess we'll know soon enough whether or not Galaxy will be in the movie though. It's more or less beans spilling time - or at least the beginning of it.

 

[Habunake]

Don't forget we still got the Ledgendary Trio for the Anime, and whatever is in the Third Game.

Mew is the only legendary to not feature in the anime itself

Latios, Latias, Jirachi, Rayquaza. Not counting 4th Gens.

AAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!

If Hikari was in that pose...the fanboys would go nuts.

 

[Habunake]

Go check 2chan, I found a nice pic of Hikari you may like...hehehehe...

 

[FabuVinny]

Filler Girl

Is her role in the episode known yet? From my impression of the episode, she seems unnecessary.

 

[Doctor Oak]

Latios, Latias, Jirachi, Rayquaza. Not counting 4th Gens.

Ah, they've still got catching up to do then, lol.

I guess those ones would be pretty tough to include in the anime, what with Jirachi being sealed away for a few thousand years and Rayquaza completely missing it's destined moment in the botched Groudon vs Kyogre eps. Latios and Latias could probably be included easily enough though.

Hmm, at that, they may get away with not using Dialga/Palkia in the anime afterall - considering there are literally about a dozen legendaries to have free reign of instead. Still, the psychic pixie in the first trio of eps (I forget which trio member and which ep) reeks of foreshadowyness to me...

Maybe that's just me being spoilt by Battle Frontier's love of the foreshadow though...

 

[Habunake]

DP 1 had Emrit, the Pink One (who incidentally comes from the lake called "Lake Shinji" in the games.

Is her role in the episode known yet? From my impression of the episode, she seems unnecessary.

Who knows? Maybe she owns the Drapion?

Eh, is that really any different than Ash and co. seeing Suicune in the first Johto episode?

Not really foreshadowing, I mean, Suicune did show up in an actual episode about 80ish episodes later in Johto, but they didn't really make a connection to it.
