SM028: The Fierce Pokébase Match! Aim for a Home Run to Turn the Tide!!
Airs: May 25

Here is a summary of the episode, which Dephender translated, who also translated the title.

"Pokébase" is a really popular sport in the Alola region, and both Ash and Pikachu get really into it after watching a match on TV. And one day, everyone decides to play Pokébase during a class at the Pokémon School.

Sounds like a fun episode

 

[IncineROAR]

I'm really okay with the anime taking forever and a day to to debut fully in the U.S. at this point. There's a few good one off episodes, but this is getting old.

 

[jonathan keller]

It appears that this episode was written by junichi fujisaku.

Does anyone know if he's a good writer?

Also, what's his style of writing? Is it comedy? Or is it a more serious tone?

 

[Wishy-Washy]

He seems to be new to Pokemon.

He seems to be new to Pokemon.

Hmmm. That pretty much sums it up then. This is most likely going to be a skippable filler episode.

They're not going to trust a new writer to pokemon with major story stuff.

 

[Islander Princess]

Pokebase = baseball? I absolutely love baseball, so my interest is definitely piqued.

Hopefully they have some fun with it and make it funny.

But if their idea of comedy is ridiculously over-exaggerated faces then that's going to be a missed opportunity.

It's the much anticipated return of Pokethlon to the anime...!

 

[Iteru]

I'd take Pokémon golf over crappy baseball

 

[Hassel]

Surf contest episode when?

Not a huge baseball fan but this episode sounds fun.

Personally I'd like to see some beach cricket.

[Unbeatable HoennMon]

I''m curious about differences between baseball (which, as we know thanks to Casey, exists in PokeWorld too) and pokebase.

 

[Alola]

When. Are. We. Going. To. Akala.

 

[jonathan keller]

When. Are. We. Going. To. Akala.

I couldn't agree more. This series has dragged it's feet long enough. We're practically 30 episodes in. Let's go already!

Is Casey coming back?

 

[Unbeatable HoennMon]

Is Casey coming back?

It would be nice to see her nad her Meganium again but actual Ash doesn't even remember Brock and Misty let alone characters like Casey or Duplica :/

 

[LuxrayOfTheWild]

When will the plot start picking back up again? We still have no signs of Ash even going to Akala Island to take on the next 3 trials and Olivia.
