- Kengo and Hikari are talking. The During the narration of the preview, Kengo asks Hikari to go with him on a journey.

- Mikan (Jasmine) is around with her Haganeil.

- Ohba's around too, for some reason.

- There's a Goukazaru and Empärt, using Drill Peck.

Looks like Flint's fighting Jasmine Infernape vs Steelix, than Empoleon vs Buizel.

Buizel battling for Ash if i remember correctly.

Screenshots! Wish I got a better pic of Mikan, but it appears she's wearing her HG/SS outfit.

Closer, not really fuller though.

EDIT: Should we have the 180 181 thread left open since it's combined and just refrain from discussing 180 in there, or leave it as is?

I really wonder if the reason why Flint is in this is because they want to carry him over to the next episode where his brother appears...

What? Jasmine was unexpected in this episode!
 
Re: DP 180 "Satoshi VS Kengo! Sailing for Respective Roads!!" Preview Thread

I wouldn't be surprised if he was ending up going to the league. I mean having the E4 there would be some kind of closure with the "buildup" they got throughout DP. And honestly I think it would be great to have him with his brother so I'm happy to see him in this ep with Jasmine too. Add something else to the battle other than just Kenny's battle of passion.

Apparently the animators forgot to go back to the old Johto episodes for reference, as her eye color is inconsistent with her original appearance back then:

(Yes, I understand that they were going to show her in her HGSS outfit; however couldn't they have just used her original design, keeping her eyes the same and just changing her outfit a la Shigeru/Gary and his FRLG outfit?:disgust:)

Any idea who animates this episode?

Nice to see Flint is sticking around.

They changed it in game between GS and HGSS too.

Kinoshita. Though i'm not 100% sure, need to watch it in HQ first.
 
Re: DP 180 "Satoshi VS Kengo! Sailing for Respective Roads!!" Preview Thread

Here's a slightly better view of Mikan's outfit.

The Satoshi/Kengo fight doesn't interest me too much, but the Mikan/Oba one looks interesting.
 
Re: DP 180 "Satoshi VS Kengo! Sailing for Respective Roads!!" Preview Thread

If the league's a month away the whole Flint tagging around to go to the league idea may be debunked. But still they're going to skip a month in a matter of about 2 episodes it would seem.

^i kinda feel bad for Jasmine in that picture with her Steelix getting knocked down^^; she seems abit fustrated.

Yes, I knew about that, but did they really have to carry this retcon over into the anime? They didn't redesign Shigeru/Gary's eyes to match the FRLG rival when he first appeared in his FRLG outfit back at the end of AG...

Well, anyway, back on topic: I hope they at least keep her personality consistent with when we first saw her back in Johto.

Also, [bp=DP180#Synopsis]If I'm not mistaken[/bp], if Kengo wins, Hikari has to travel with him. Him defeating Satoshi here, although cheap since Satoshi just won his final Sinnoh Gym Badge, would be a perfect opportunity to write Hikari out of the anime (after rooting on Satoshi at the Sinnoh League, of course) and make way for BW girl. Just sayin'...

Of course she is. The fact that a gym leader is fighting against an Elite Four member, let alone using a pokemon that has a complete type disadvantage against her opponent's... I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up losing here very easily.

He's not forcing her to do anything. Though I am a bit surprised Ash is using Buzel against Empoleon. I'm guessing Ash might actually lose now. Meh.

As for Jasmine appearing I'm a bit surprised that Flint is still sticking around. Another member of the Onix family getting owned is always fun to see.
 
Re: DP 180 "Satoshi VS Kengo! Sailing for Respective Roads!!" Preview Thread

lol so basically they used the one scenario where Ash losing is acceptable because i can't see Buizel beating Empoleon..
