- We see Yukimenoko waving in a snowstorm.

- Satoshi and Takeshi are seen shivering as they're covered in pink blankets.

- Potchama's encased in ice from the neck down.

- We see a Yukiwarashi appear.

- A trainer appears, and it looks like he has an Onigohri.

- We see Satoshi's Hikozaru fight against the Onigohri.

- The Yukiwarashi from before is trapped in a cage.
 
I'm not going to say Chimchar evolves in this, but if it loses to Glalie, it might be part of why it evolves in a later episode.

Heh heh. Looks like there will be some Potchama abuse in this episode. :)

I'm sure all the Hikozaru battling in the previews will make some think that it might evolve. Unfortunately, I'm now one of those people...

This looks like it could be another fun filler. I like how Yukimenoko is causing trouble, and that random trainer looks like he could be trouble. Though it might have just been the way the scenes were put together.
 
I do hope Ash remembers his Glalie, I'll even accept a small mention. Though a flashback would be more interesting.
 
oooh, Froslass is too ugly. does she have a legs or she can move like Glalie?
 
I forget but Glalie's trainer, did he look like that mountain man dude, we saw in the Orange League English Theme, or the one that showed up in that Johto episode "You're a Star, Larvitar."

For some reason I forget what Glalie's trainer looks like. Even though I saw the preview.
 
Yukimenoko is beautiful in a creepy way.

I'm glad we'll be seeing it in the anime soon!
 
Here's hoping that we'll see the Dawn Stone (they have to explain how a Yukiwarashi evolves into a Yukimenoko, don't they?).

If it does appear, then expect some dub-added "Oh. The stone is called the same as me" line for Hikari.

It's called the Hikari Stone in Japanese I think...
 
Froslass kidnapping Piplup sounds like a fairly promising route, but the inclusion of Glalie and Snorunt irks me a little. I’d have rather it been completely 'lass-centric, rather than shoehorning in it’s relatives to confirm another branched evolution chain within the show. As a character, and given the legend it‘s based on, I think Froslass could have quite easily carried an entire plot by itself.

In any case, the Glalie looks like it belongs to an antagonistic trainer. IF that isn't a Rocket cage Snorunt is trapped in, I'm guessing he's a poacher of some sort. Perhaps Froaslass is holding Piplup hostage in order to blackmail the group into helping her? Whoo, shot in the dark speculation.

Fack YEAH for Hikozaru evolving in this one, and Mukubird evolving in the Pokeringer ep.

Give evos now please ~ Sinnoh is almost over so the time is right.
 
God damn it, they put a Glalie in this ep and its not Ash's! (I'm kidding)

Man, I miss Ash's Glalie so damn much. It was only really used for the league and that's it. Glalie is so awesome for being a demonic floating head, a Pokemon totally unlike something Ash usually captures it.

Ash better reference his Glalie in this episode, in DP they're usually good about this, (James remembering Chimecho, Ash with Caterpie), so there's a good chance I think.
 
Is it just me or does this look a little better than the typical Takeda-animated episode? It sure looks better than Pastoria Gym did.
