This episode will air on TV Tokyo on July 19, 2007.

 

[Habunake]

Cynthia has Garchomp, Paul battles her in some "park", a statue with Dialga and Unown text is seen, and apparently the Sinnoh Now News Crew might appear. Also an Ursaring (Paul's?) and a Torterra are in the preview, which will probably be on the official site soon.

Yay!

(btw, the only pics I've seen are of Cynthia and that Dialga statue...the other stuff comes from summaries)

 

[Coffee]

Oh god, Cynthia is hot.

 

[Habunake]

Preview on Pocket Monters...

Shinji has Weavile and Torterra it looks like?!?!

That or maybe there's some other trainers challenging Cynthia as well.

 

[Roses Ablaze]

I see no trailer ;_;

Check #PM.net.

So it seems he has Weavile and Torterra (which actually caught me off guard), but STILL no Murkrow? And why was he using 4 Pokemon anyway; matches are almost always 3-on-3 max.

 

[Ashfangirl17]

I predict Paul wins one fight but looses it all in the end. If he wins I'll eat my hat, no matter how good he is he not up to her level.

 

[Shift]

It's pretty intriguing that Paul seems to have two starters now, including the final form of Ash's. Man, the DP writers truly ARE unpredictable this time.

 

[Habunake]

I find it to be somewhat risque if this is true...I mean, seriously...

 

[The Realist™]

The Preview IS on PocketMonsters.net....wow.

Paul uses: Weavile, Torterra,Ursarang(sp?), and Chimchar.

Cynthia uses a SHINY Garchomp.

 

[Habunake]

I don't think it's supposed to be...just the coloring is slightly different in the Anime.

Probably. I wasn't sure so I checked the D/P sprites and the shiny version looks like it, but yeah, you're probably right.


Also, Shinji's Torterra uses Frenzy Plant.

 

[Hikarii]

What, if he has Torterra? That would be weird. XD It could be that the Weavile, Ursaring, and Torterra belong to other trainers who are probably challenging Shirona.. Although, the clip with Torterra using Frenzy Plant and Shinji recalling SOMETHING back to its Pokéball is intriguing. For all we know, they could've just thrown two random clips together. I don't know. XD

All the more reason for us to want next Thursday to happen already. Damnit. WHAT HAPPENS?

I find it to be somewhat risque if this is true...I mean, seriously...

 

[Shift]

Here's another horrible thought for ya: what if Shinji actually wins?

 

[Jukain]

I dunno. That frame of Cynthia from the side gave me vibes like she was about about to lay the smack down. But that frame of Paul recalling something and smiling is also o.o.

 

[Nando]

Paul smiles for weird reasons.

But anyway.....

Torterra.....Garchomp.....Weavile.....AND CYNTHIA. This episode is made of win already.

 

[Shift]

I dunno. That frame of Cynthia from the side gave me vibes like she was about about to lay the smack down. But that frame of Paul recalling something and smiling is also o.o.

Either that, or it was the sullen look of defeat. Yeah, it's a wacko theory, but you just never know nowadays...

 

[Kasumi]

I say we better not come to early conclusions. It's better to wait 'til the episode airs.
