Seems Sceptile and Gible will be used! :eek:
 
Re: DP 189 " Sinnoh League Semifinals! Darkrai Appears!!" Preview Thread

Seriously going to be awesome.

Sceptile's in this which is weird.
Heracross of course.
Pikachu meh.
Torkoal okay i got it.
Gible, i guess it needs to add more to its resume.
and an empty sixth slot thus far. My guess is Muk.

The only thing wrong is where are Takuto's other pokemon.

I absolutely loathe you Torkoal and Pikachu, you got your damn win against Paul, damn it Ash keep Pikachu away. And Torkoal means no Quilava (bastards for evolving it and then giving it shoddy screen time).

And Sceptile? Really? I missed that then, I really can't be mad at Sceptile, I mean Torterra and Bayleef deserve it far more, but I just can't be upset, I mean it is Sceptile.

And LOL Gible, will it evolve? *Shot* Just kidding, look at it avoiding ice beam or whatever it is, and looks like Draco Meteor fails to hit Darkrai.

Dude. Ash. I thought you outgrew that goddamned backwards cap. In like. MID-KANTO. What the hell.
 
Re: DP 189 " Sinnoh League Semifinals! Darkrai Appears!!" Preview Thread

Just Darkrai? Kinda expected :( But, Sceptile, Torkal, GIBLE, Heracross, Pikachu...There's one missing...hmm

This looks promising, +1 for Ash's hat, lol.

I think they only have pikachu in the battle because he has always been in the very last battle for each saga so far. No reason to break from that tradition I suppose.

*scratches head*...I don't geddit. What was the point of reintroducing all those other pokemon again? Was that a just a 'Shit, we really can't fit all these guys into the league! CRAMCRAMCRAMCRAM' moment or what?

Don't get me wrong, this league has been pretty damn good, but man, to think what they could have done if they'd given it more time...

Anyway. Sceptile. YAY!

Also from what I can tell, Iwane is involved with this one too. Man, I wonder what the numbers on his paycheck are this month?...

What?! Dude, the backward cap thing was amazing when he did it all the time. He suits it.

YES SCEPTILE!!!!

TAKE THAT ALL THOSE WHO WANTED THE JOHTO STARTERS

Anyway, this should be an interesting battle, looks like they brought back Ash's hoenn team. Gliscor'd should be happy...

I'm only "dissing" Torkoal because it takes Quilava's spot, had Ash's Top 32 battle actually been shown, I would've been fine if Torkoal was there.

But against Darkrai? That's just mean.

I just doubt that Pikachu will be able to do anything that another Pokemon would be better apt at. Like Sceptile, is a better Pikachu only a grass type.

Which may be one of the reasons "Ash" isn't using Torterra. Granted the writers could've given Darkrai something else other than ice beam but now that I think about it, it wouldn't work out too well.

Anyway, last team member, Muk then. I want it to be Kingler, but Muk would probably be a better choice.

Sceptile, huh? how I'm glad Scott is banned right now xD
And Torkoal! <3
I'm guessing this will mostly be vs Darkrai though.

(Backwards cap makes an appearance!!!!)

Have fun watching Torkoal and Sceptile go down against Darkrai, because if anyone beats it, it will be the Pokémon not seen in the preview.
 
Re: DP 189 " Sinnoh League Semifinals! Darkrai Appears!!" Preview Thread

Yes, yes, yes! The backwards cap has returned! Shouldn't have gone away in the first place, if you ask me.

...Sceptile? So much for it being a no-show. Just seems odd that the writers would use it when they could have Totodile/Bayleef/Glalie/Muk (anyone else I'm missing?). At least Torkoal's getting in on the action.
