Next Pokemon Thread VI: Unova Evolution/Capture/Release Speculation Arena

[1rkhachatryan]

Since when has it been known that an Arceus, Zekrom and a Salamence are appearing? You're jumping the gun and people are getting excited.

The posters confirmed that Zekrom, Reshiram, and obviously Pikachu are appearing. Salamance and Typhlosion aren't some rare pokemon that couldn't appear in the anime, and like I said, Arceus doesn't even need to appear. He could just be mentioned since the arc is heavily legend oriented.

[Pepsi_Plunge]

Arceus being in that set proves it means nothing.

If its a kids set said pokemon will appear in the anime, Arceus migth be just part of some promotion, he is the only weird thing there, cmon you are here for a while and you whined about this kids sets and were wrong all the time, this kids set reflect the pokemon appearing in the anime, unless this are the attack ones which don't necessarily do.

It doesn't have to be Satoshi thats just wishfull thinking on my part but I say it again its pretty cool its appearing since it has gotten much attention in the anime, Feraligatr and even Meganuim(that appeared more) could eventually appear also.

I'm still waiting for Yusuf to confirm me what kids set this is since there are diferent ones, oh and since they ended the BW dex on those sets they have been including diferent pokemon some promotional and not anime related(Arceus) and a new Pikachu every set.

It seems that the Shinx that people talked about for a long time will just be a random Pokemon that will be in Cheren's school.

The Kids set that are going to released in April are Kids Sets of Bandai. This Kids are tagged wiuth the Best Wishes logo (it's Anime-related).

The relationship between the sets and the anime will be through three ways:
-All pokemon that appear in the set appear in t he anime around his release: Ex: The Past Piplup set.
-Some pokemon are going to appear soon in the anime but not all. That is doing when the company needs to release all pokemon possible on the sets regardless of when they're making a debut. The big part of BW sets. Remember that pokemon that have a role in movies appear here.

The set has no relationship with the anime. In the BW sets exist one case: The past August set. The reason why the past August set was made that way was because the company do two things: complete the pack of BW pokemon and more important, the anime wasn't allowed to showcase older pokemon in merch to hide information apart from the Meloetta short that was announced a while before.*

In the case of kids set I say that the pokemon that appear in the set will appear in the anime, or in the movie. The exception is Arceus because the legendaries could get merchandise because they're legends and they need promotion now that older legends are allowed and to showcase them before the XY legends take the place.

*This is the reason why the Piplup merchandise arrives on sale when Piplup has left the show. And this is why Piplup appears in set with pokemon that he isn't supposed to see like Lucario, Eevee and Family, Haxorus, and sometimes Charizard.

OMG someone's capturing the substitute dummy!

No seriously, they most likely mean nothing.. There are a few Pokémon in there that make it obvious..

[Ash&Pikachu-Fan]

Hmm... Well, not sure if this helps/supports with this "Kids Set" toys but they're doing a Dream World promotion of Arceus dolls for Global Link in Japan, update on Serebii's main page. Probably nothing, just a coincidence. :/

Exactly and Deoxys was in the Eevee set for the same reason, all the other pokemon in the set, anime pokemon, the other pokemon are most likelly appearing in the anime, it belonging(Typhlosion) to Satoshi is just a wish.

Latest 3 sets

As much as I'd like Typhlosion, I don't see that happening. But it would be cool if that happened, since the Pokemon barely appeared in the anime (only two cameos in AG).

If its in the kids set its most likelly appearing, thats the reason why I want it and Feraligatr to appear.

[I-am-the-peel]

I too would love to see Ash with another fully evolved fire type, but I'm starting to think it's a little unfair with the other types Ash has. There isn't really an equal balance anymore:

Grass
Bulbasaur-Doesn't want to evolve, powerful the way it is
Chikorita-Bayleef-Evolved once to protect Ash, could evolve again in the future but I hope not
Treecko-Grovyle-Sceptile-Fully evolved grass powerhouse, can't evolve anymore
Turtwig-Grotle-Torterra-Fully evolved, personally wished it didn't evolve again and instead learnt how to be a tank
Snivy-Base form, might evolve in the time we have left with it, though probably not.
Sewaddle-SwadloonLeavanny-Fully evolved, rarely appears.

3 fully evolved, 1 middle stage, 2 base form. Nice balance, though looking at it, Snivy should probably evolve again

Fire
Charmander-Charmeleon-Charizard-Fully evolved fire powerhouse
Cyndaquil-Quilava-Could evolve again in the future, the merchandise could suggest an evolution though probably just a COTD pokemon
Torkoal-Can't evolve, not really much of a powerhouse
Chimchar-Monferno-Infernape-Fully evolved fire powerhouse
Tepig-Pignite-Could evolve again in the future with the time we have left, can see it happening

2 fully evolved, 2 middle stage, 1 base stage. Pignite could evolve again in the future and the merchandise suggests a Typhlosion

Water
Squirtle-Could evolve, can't see it as it would change the Squirtle Squad if he did
Krabby-Kingler-Fully evolved water powerhouse, I miss it so much
Totodile-Could evolve, wouldn't hate to see it
Corpish-Could evolve, now that Ash owns a dark type, it could easily be written in
Buizel-Could evolve, I wished it did
Oshawott-Could evolve, with it's popularity, I seriously doubt it
Palpitoad-Could evolve, no reason not to

1 fully evolved, 1 middle stage, 5 base stage. Oshawott won't evolve, Palpitoad could and we could always get a random appearance from an old water pokemon belonging to Ash

I know the water types have never amassed to that much, but looking at the grass and the fire, the fire types look set to have more evolutions than the grass types again. An Emboar or Typhlosion would certainly turn the tide, and if Snivy doesn't evolve then it'll look even bleaker. I personally hope that Ash's Quilava never evolves and that Totodile either fully evolves or Palpitoad or Buizel does instead.

Random thought: Anyone think Ash will capture something new in this saga before gen 6, akin to Aipom?

I do as it's going to be 9 months
Problem is there's all the Charizard stuff goin on... so we'll see :P

[ShinyCharyZard]

Come on though, do you really think Quilava would come back and evolve again?

If it really did, it must be leading towards something.. Obviously itself and Pignite are the only unevolved Fire types, so if they're purposely going to return and evolve, there must be something big in the future with Fire types..

[pokemaster95]

So what pokemon are spoiled?

Is Charizard really coming back, and if so is it ash's?

Again wishing a pokemon not to evolve because others didn't is a stupid argument, he can have 100 fully evolved fire pokemon, I still want the 101 pokemon to evolve, Pignite evolving didn't hinder anything to the other, they had enough time to evolve Snivy and Oshawott, they didn't want to.

Also once again that was me hoping its his Quilava, a Typhlosion is going to appear if its the normal kids set like I said if its Satoshi to me its a plus, I want to see more old pokemon and if any can come back and evolve I welcome any to do that, it can be a random Typhlosion also but I'm hoping if it isn't Satoshi its somehow a strong pokemon and not a random background pokemon.

Sure, why not? I'm not expecting it but if it does return, I sure wouldn't mind seeing it! Although I am expecting at least one return evolution. Any is fine really.

After all, its just an evolution, Ash has a large range of fire type Pokemon and it doesn't look like he'd stop catching any, any time soon. Its silly to think its type may effect it evolving 'cause he already owns more than one fully evolved fire type, same with any other types, if they get the chance then why not?

[ShinyCharyZard]

Oooh, man I hate it when people misunderstand what you're saying on the internet and you have to explain it -.-

Basically, what I'm saying is.. If they were really bringing back Quilava to evolve it again, wouldn't that strike you as a bit suspicious? Like, there was this little Cyndaquil in amongst all these large Fire types and they then decide to bring it back and evolve it twice in two consecutive regions?

Along with Tepig being the only Unova starter to evolve and Charizard making a comeback, it would really make me think something was happening if they brought back Quilava and evolved it as well.. Charizard, Typhlosion, Torkoal, Infernape, Pignite/Emboar in an ultimate Fire type tournament or something? I dunno, I might just be thinking a little too much into it.. but I can't see why they would suddenly return Cyndaquil and evolve it twice in two consecutive regions, without a hidden reasoning.

Clearly the writers and producers are biased toward the Fire-type starters. :P

If Quilava had to evolve I'd like to see him battling some matches before, since his battle against Nando was terribly short and mostly skipped. But to be honest, if I had to evolve a Johto starter, I'd like to see Croconaw first, before seeing Typhlosion. Bayleef - Quilava - Croconaw is a quite balanced combination.

Lol, I interperted it that way because thats what most people say, I don't see any conspiracy theory, people arguably can say that Cyndaquil was a lot stronger then Charmander and we always though it was going to evolve(I'm talking about Charmander only not evolutions) and got so many wins that we were all WTF by the end of the region as to why it didn't evolve, I guess now knowing about marketability, etc Cyndaquil being one of the most popular starters nowdays I get but anyway, they train at the lab, so while Satoshi is training the current team the others are also getting better at the lab to be ready for their trainer, do you guys don't think if Quilava trains with lets say Infernape on a daily basis he isn't getting stronger? I would have no problem with him evolving again but like I said, I don't find it likelly the Typhlosion wil probably belong to someone else.

To me any pokemon at the lab rigth now coming back could evolve from the get go like Cyndaquil did, I also said that I would love if he asked for Totodile and Oak told him he is a Croconaw now because he trained after seeing all his "friends" from Johto evolved(Phanpy, Cyndaquil, Chikorita) and then evolve it to Feraligatr onscreen but the anime isn't written that way so I'm not expecting that either lol but I would accept it since he isn't from the current in rotation team.

Again the whole evolution is my wish, we get freakin wish list with no base 90% of the post around here(not now since the region is almost done), I just said this based on seeing a Typhlosion which I find weird to appear in Isshu out of nowhere unless we get some kind of fire type tournament or wtv or Hikari coming back again(which is not happening) /slitswrists.

[ShinyCharyZard]

I'd love to see just about anything come back and evolve.. but I get a feeling we would've seen more old Pokémon in the opening again if that was the case.

Say the ranch scene from the last opening was in this one instead, I'd think something was going to happen with others because of Charizard appearing, but since there's nothing like that around, I just can't see it.. This saga is probably just likely to consist of Plasma and random side plots concerning COTD's. I'd love to see something more, but I just don't believe in the writers 'that' much.

Totodile > Croconaw
Snivy > Servine
Quilava > Typhlosion
Bayleef > Meganium
Gible > Gabite
Palpitoad > Seismitoad
Scraggy > Scrafty
Pignite > Emboar

A combination of any of those would be nice to see, but I just can't imagine it happening. The awkward thing is, that if Ash doubles up on basic/first stages, he's less like to use the latter one in future regions. Like, say he goes on to face someone and requires a Grass type.. He's either going to go for a fully evolved one, or his oldest and most reliable.

Bulbsaur/Sceptile/Torterra > Bayleef/Snivy

[Pepsi_Plunge]

Oh don't get me wrong if you see me posting I already said that it seems like old pokemon besides Charizard wont do crap because there is no tournament set up at the time and the arc will be small but seeing Typhlosion out of nowhere gave me some hope.
