In the preview, it shows a place that looks like where Ash's Sliggoo lived, as a Goomy, before he caught it. There is also a Wooper sleeping next to Goodra, Pikachu and Dedenne and we know that a Wooper once lived where Sliggoo used to live.

I'd wouldn' mind if Goodra did get indeed released here as I feel that it will be a Pokémon that would seal screentime from his other ones.
 
About time the anime resolves Goodra's backstory. If you look carefully in the video, you can see the Blue Flower Florges is in this episode as well. With a Florges that mean living close to you and no other Fairy-types in sight (seriously, I don't see one in that swamp shot), no wonder Goodra was afraid of Fairy-types.

And on closer inspection, it does seem to be the anime's version of Kalos Route 14 (but less spooky).

Also want to add that Goodra looks so cute in that sleeping shot.

In the end, it'll probably either choose Ash or its old friends. They're either going to pull a Pikachu's Goodbye kind of episode or they'll really release Goodra... either way, I'm sure this episode is going to be full of feels :x
 
I want Goodra to be released which COULD explain its fast evolution and the fact that it doesn't seem to have any drawbacks so far means that it will only stay for a short time as a powerhouse for Ash.

I don't think Goodra is leaving with this scene in the trailer.

And we might get a surprise join of Wooper into main cast. (just maybe...)

I think this episode is just going to be a visit to Goomy's home and maybe settle the 'war' or 'fight' there once and for all. Goodra will then leave with Ash and co after that.

But it probably is just going to be -> Goodra's defeats Pokemon of the day that's still terrorising its home -> everyone's happy -> the journey continues
 
Why would they let Ash catch a Goomy, rapidly evolve it twice just to let Ash release it? I dont think Goodra is going anywhere, it will stay with Ash until: A: He starts to rotate his team or B: He goes to a new region.
 
They are NOt releasing Goodra:It was seen in a preview poster for the next short.

Just because it is a Pseudo-Legendary and they are visiting its homeland does NOT mean they are going to pull a Butterfree/Lapras situation. Nor are they going to pull a Charizard/Squirtle/Gliscor, or even a Muk/Tauros/Snorlax/Heracross.

Goodra is part of Ash's team, all the way.

If you think it's taking up screentime, then who's not getting enough?

If you don't think Ash deserves a Pseudo-Legendary, that's your opinion, but it won't affect the writer's decision.

Also, what is the color of the Florges from the Poster? If it matches...SERENA GETS FLORGES?!

Yep, if the writers dare to do that it'll be one of the worst thing they have ever done imo, even worse than the awful Ambipom release...

This must be a very very recent poster that was release within the past 24 hours, because the last short poster I saw didn't have Goodra on it.
 
The poster has spoilers whited out, but Goodra's horns are peeking out. It's on the Bulbagarden Archives.

And releasing it would only lead to two of the following:Snover or Phantump(A grass Type w/a Mega in its final evolution(Snover) or Kalos Pokémon that has not been seen yet(Phantump)that no non-COTDs has/will have...), and Carbink, Furfrou, Amaura, or Honedge(remaining Kalos Pokémon not owned or will be owned in any known way by Non-COTDs in any of their evolutionary stages)/Gastly, Kangaskhan, Pinsir, Mareep, Aron, Shuppet, Bagon and Audino(Non-Kalos Pokémon that have Megas and have not been obtained by Ash or any of his friends/acquaintances/past or present rivals..or a Pokémon Z/ZX and ZY Version(s) only Mega that we haven't had revealed to us yet...Are we so fixated on "Pokémon Ash can use w/o being OP and/or taking away screen time from other, less developed Pokémon" according to a nonexistent formula that the only way to "stick to the plan" is to eliminate a Pokémon with a solid backstory, immense power, and more individual personality traits that don't mirror their trainers than Bunnelby, Braixen, and Frogadier COMBINED?!

Madness...but still...do you THINK Goodra will be released, or do you WANT it? Or both/Neither?

Still looking forward to the closure of Goodra's past with a look towards a brighter future, and either Serena or Jessie possibly obtaining a Emolgaesque(Serena) or nasty and mean(Jessie) Florges...dat poster doesn't lie...

The only whited out thing that I remember having Goodra on it, and being whited out was a cake for the anniversary of XY which was unrelated to the Pikachu short.

I'd want Goodra to stay which is why if Goodra was on a Pikachu short poster or even movie poster I'd be perfectly happy.
 
I would not worry about a release, it's just that some people are looking back at Gible and crying <redacted> due to Gible not becoming Garchomp FIRST...
 
Instead of Goodra's release, that Wooper might evolve, unexpected..but possible. Lol
 
Actually, the Goodra being released situation reminds me of the Hawlucha situation where people though that it would be released in the Dark Hawlucha episode simply because it felt very similar to Primape's release episode at first and the fact that it didn't appear in the inside pages of the 2015 calendar at all when all the other Pokémon did.

So for all we know Goodra MAY not be released at all.
