-No signs of Yamato and Kosaburou in the preview.

-We see a Kabarudon and a Hippopotas.

-Satoshi and Hikari are both waist-deep in sand, and it looks like they're trying to prevent Kabarudon from getting out of it.

-Pachirisu looks tiny compared to Kabarudon.

-Kabarudon's trying to blow Pachirisu out of its nose now.

-Kojirou has some kind of bazooka.

-It looks like the Rocket-Dan will have some sort of Kabarudon mecha.

Hikari. Waist-deep in sand. In a skirt?

Does this strike anyone else as poor planning? Poor girl's going to spend half the ep with sand in her knickers.
 
I'm still waiting for the trek to Snowpoint where she'll have to freeze her poor little legs off because heaven forbid she change styles for the weather.
 
Um, where did Cassidy and Butch come from? I know you said they're not in the preview. But does that mean they're in the episode anyway? *is puzzled*

That just gave me a scary mental image.

If Dawn really does wear a skirt when they get to Snowpoint I'll laugh. This girl needs to learn to finally invest in a pair of pants.

Damn, I knew Kabarudon was big, but I didn't expect it to be this big.

And you don't even need to see the whole body to know just how huge it is.
 
Hey look, Piplup is out of its ball again. How can anyone still not believe its a mascot Pokemon?

That seems to be unusually akward to imagine. Might have been different compared to what you saw, but still. =P

It's not argueable...
Ash and Dawn are the two ewual heroes of DP
And each of them has their mascot - Pikachu and Piplup
Movie 10's DVD cover has half Ash half Dawn and their mascots above them
The movie itself from what people said focused equally on both and they did together the "save the world" thing and they used their mascots for the battle with the theme song
The trailer to the next movie shows only Ash and Dawn with Pikachu and Piplup
One of the two posters for the next movie shows Pikachu with Ash's hat and Piplup with Dawn's hat
DP48 (the recap episode) was narrated by Ash and Dawn and guess who more? Pikachu and Piplup (and even when they talked about Brock's Pokémon they didn't allow Brock to talk)
The text in the beginning of the opening that for almost 10 years talked about "Ash" was changed in DP to "Ash and Dawn"
The Opening/Theme CD cover shows Ash and Dawn
From the beginning of the series the ending song was Dawn's theme and lasted for 61 episodes and got 3 versions... and this one also showed Piplup as Dawn's main Pokémon
If you'll count the episodes that focus or important for Ash and Dawn you'll see they have more or less the same amount of episodes and also that they're getting to share the spotlight or coupled together a lot (DP 2, 4, 17, 21, 22, 29, 39, 48, 55. the movie)
DP39 also clearly proved Pikachu and Piplup are the two mascots and are the "star" Pokémon just like their trainers
Piplup was in almost every episode and lately is constantly out of its Pokéball just like Pikachu
One of the things they did wrong with May was that she didn't have a star Pokémon and now they don't repeat that with Dawn

I know I kind of changed this from "Is Piplup the new Pikachu?" to "Are Ash and Dawn are equal heroes?" but the questions are related... and answer each other- they're equals so just like Ash has Pikachu as his star Pokémon they gave Dawn such Pokémon too
I think if people will understand that we have two heroes they'll also understand why Piplup is showed like it's the new star Pokémon
 
Holy crap, that's a huge Hippowdon. I was totally not expecting this.
 
Huh, you know I kind of thought it was that aswell.

But having a Hippowdon that big would be cool.

Poor poor Dawn and her sandy underwear oO Pachirisu gets blown out of Hippowdon nose? And why does it even want to climb in it’s mouth to start with? One weird episode.

Yet, once they debut the fifth gen Pochama will instantly become completely useless because it longer serves a purpose. >>

Hm, this isn't the first time that characters were absent in the preview but turned up in the episode, it happened with Paul and Zoey lots of times.

However if Butch/Cassidy don't show up in person hopefully they will in the future. With the death of the specials we're hardly going to get to see them anymore, so I'd rather hope we get them soon.

Its times like this you wonder why the writers spent all that time making those specials last gen but couldn't do the same this gen. These are characters who should get to appear more than once every 100 episodes.

No, the mecha is grey.

Ah, so it really is a very huge Kabarudon then.

I just love how Pokemon in the anime are never always the same size as they are in the games.

And no, I'm not being sarcastic.
