- We see Mukubird competing in the competition.

- We also see a trainer with an Airmd.

- We also see a Kairyuu going against Donkarasu.

- ...and it's revealed that the Donkarasu belongs to Shinji.

- Donkarasu starts attacking Mukubird...and then it starts to evolve.

- The last shot of the preview is a close-up of Mukuhawk's eye.

While Swellow And Staraptor evolved in the same tye competition at least its slightly different. As Swellow evolved during sandstorm and Ash believed in it. Staraptor apparently evolves because its being attacked by Honchkrow.

No James, so either team rocket does something else, or James lose easily.

I have to ask, those who didn't want to Ash to win a second time simply because James had been trained in the Pokeringer. Is it fair to be biased of a plot added sub story?

That's not my main problem with Satoshi winning. My problem is that there are people who played this for years, yet Satoshi could end up winning this twice and he's barely played it. Seems too much even for this show.

I mainly want Kojiro to win this because it doesn't seem fair that Musashi gets to win ribbons yet Kojiro doesn't get to win anything.

I'll just wait until the episode airs before I say anything more. There's no point in bitching about this for a week.

But couldn't Ash just be a natural, a prodigy so to speak? I mean he beat a previous champion because the champion only focused on the competition instead of the ring and it cost him.

Does James appear in the preview? If not, I doubt he would compete in this copmetition.
 
Re: DP 118 "PokéRinger! Big Decisive Sky Battle!!" Preview Thread

If he doesn't compete, I expect an explanation for it. When Jessie didn't compete in some contests in Hoenn, I recall she had all kind of ridiculous excuses.

Not against the evolution or anything but....man. I'm REALLY going to miss Mukubird. :(
 
Re: DP 118 "PokéRinger! Big Decisive Sky Battle!!" Preview Thread

Yay evo.

And yes, I like staravia as well.
Staraptor is cool and all, but it isn't balanced between cool and cute like staravia.

Don't fret, I'm sure you'll find some way to continue your Mukku.antics.
 
Re: DP 118 "PokéRinger! Big Decisive Sky Battle!!" Preview Thread

I've said this before...but if they ever decide to make this Pokeringer thing a once-every-region thing, then they really ought to give Kojirou a flying type so he doesn't have to keep borrowing one from Musashi.

This might be very well turn out as one of the best, if not the best, episode(s) of the saga so far. If executed right, that is.

The preview looks incredibly awesome. Mukuhawk looks kickass. One thing that seems to differ from the PokeRinger in Houen is that this time it seems to be more battle oriented, instead of weather oriented like it was back then (wind, sun, tornadoes..). At least judging from all the battling between Donkarasu and Mukuhawk.

I'm excited for the episode, mainly because of Paul gonna be in there. I did said before in another thread, not so crazy about the same plot. But there you go evo freaks, you get an evoultion. HAppy now....
 
Re: DP 118 "PokéRinger! Big Decisive Sky Battle!!" Preview Thread

Yes very happy. Im even more happy that we not only get this evolution but in the time period of 20 episodes or so we also get monferno. Anyway muku went big. Really big. His wings were
..........
And now they are

Re: DP 118 "PokéRinger! Big Decisive Sky Battle!!" Preview Thread

We finally get Staraptor. I would like to see James win at this too. He did win the orienteering contest, but he deserves more. Though, who knows? Perhaps James is in it and goes all the way but they just didn't put it in the preview.
 
Re: DP 118 "PokéRinger! Big Decisive Sky Battle!!" Preview Thread

Yup im waiting for the episode to be aired.
Also it has been confirmed about monferno in the final poster of the movie 12 that Ash's chimchar is goin to evolve in some upcoming episodes.
I hope SO.:ching:

YAY FOR STARAPTOR!!!!

@adyinz
Chimchar will be evolving soon and is what is bugging me. Did they ever evolve 2 of ash's pokemon in only a 20 episode span or less?

Why would you want to see this every region? It's bad enough that Staravia evolves in the same competition that Taillow did, (even if its done differently), we don't need them to rehash an old concept any more than they've done already.

The writers have been taking too many concepts from older seasons in DP recently, (Thunderstone, Dustox ala Butterfree, Pokeringer, TR disbands), where is the NEW stuff?

Hmm, lets see Gilgar evolved in DP 85, and then within 15 episodes, Turtwig evolved. Now confirmed that Staravia evolving from the last evo, it been 18 episodes. So, you could figure out the possibility...

Phanpy and Grovyle I believe evolved in less than 20 eps.
