SM017: Alola Detective Rotom! The Mystery of the Missing Crystal!!
Airs: March 9

It's unconfirmed so far, but here is a summary, which Dephender translated.

When Ash arrives at the Pokémon School, he notices that his Electrium-Z has gone missing. Rotom approaches the panicking Ash, offering to help search for it. Rotom is crazy about crime shows, and says it wants to solve a mystery just like a detective does.

Rotom is crazy about crime shows

Oh My God this is going to be amazing!!!

 

[Playerking]

I'd love it if Rotom likes crime shows because of the gore. It'd be Rotom's dark side. Seriously though, I hope it mentions some crime shows in the Pokémon world.

Clearly Rotom should be hanging out with Dent instead of Satoshi.

...Detective Pikachu reference(s)? (Or at least Detective Boy Conan/Case Closed.)

This series keeps getting better and better omg

 

[Sakuraa]

Oh boy, an episode focusing on Brotom Dex. This is going to be great

 

[Gengarzilla]

Cilan would be proud.

 

[SonansuMan]

Would this episode count as a filler?

Would this episode count as a filler?

most likely, unless something major to the plotline occurs

 

[SonansuMan]

most likely, unless something major to the plotline occurs

I mean, Ash lost his Electrium-Z, so by some stands that's still very major.

Especially if it involves Topu KekoTapu Koko, seeing as every time it takes one, it's for a reason.

New summary from Adamant:

One day, when Satoshi arrives at the Pokémon School, he notices that the precious Electric-Z he received from the Land Spirit Pokémon Kapu-Kokeko has gone missing. He starts fretting over this, but Rotom says it will search for the Electric-Z. Rotom has been crazy about crime shows lately, and says it wants to solve a mystery just like a detective does.

For whatever reason I keep forgetting that Rotom is a pokemon. This should be fun.

A Rotom episode, well that caught me by surprise. Seeing the premise of the episode, though, it does feel like a great episode (and I do believe that it will do justice to the feelings of Cilan fan inside me! )

One thing that still bothers me though - where is the Mallow and Bounsweet episode which Mallow fans like me deserve? Come on writers, you did it once with Iris, please don't repeat it
with Mallow and Bounsweet now!

Mallow is basically the Brock of this series.

What do you mean by that?
