BWS2-20: League Part 2 [FIRST POST UPDATED 10/29]

[Locormus]

I just thought of something..

Considering that Ash vs. Trip will be divided into two episodes, maybe the Bianca one, will as well.. Meaning November 29th, and whichever date in December.

The December calender has Gigalith on it, while the 29th date shows an Emboar being used. Perhaps Boldore will be Ash's final stand against Bianca, and will evolve to beat her? Kind of the scenario I wanted for Palpitoad, but it can work with Boldore as well.. Both are weak to eachother (Rock > Fire, Fighting > Rock), so it would be an even matchup.

I could see something like Leavanny, Scraggy and Boldore/Gigalith being used:
- Leavanny vs. Escavalier: Esc wins
- Scraggy vs. Escavalier: Scraggs wins.
- Scraggy vs. Minccino: Scraggs wins.
- Scraggy vs. Emboar: Emboar wins.
- Boldore vs. Emboar: Evo-time.
- Gigalith vs. Emboar: Gigalith wins.

Only note is that it would be incredibly akin to vs. Clay..

I always thought kecleon was a johto pokemon -.-

I remember asking a person once, in regards to completing the original Silver, on how I was supposed to get a Kecleon.. Completely oblivious of the approaching third gen.

Oh right, sorry, Ash battled Furret not Linoone.

Got my Pokémon mixed up. Thanks Locormus.

By the way I'm pretty sure Blaziken appeared before that Furret Pokémon anyway.

Oh come on! I apologized already.. And apparently, it's quite a common mistake to make.. :P You're right though..

Of the first 3rd gen pokemon, I can only remember:
- Kecleon
- Latios/Latias
- Blaziken

A 1 on 1 battle will suck. I really want to see more of Trip's Pokemon, since it's probably gonna be his last appearance. I hope that atleast Trip stays to watch Ash's battles.

I don't know if this will be Trip's last appearance.. If there's going to be a Kyurem plot of some sort, then I could see especially quite a few of his pokemon coming in handy:
- Chandelure with a lot of fire power
- Conkeldurr that can bust the Icedragon up
- Vanilluxe is an icecreamcone that can learn Steel-type moves, so that can work

The only things that won't work are the bird, the pringle, and to an extent the Snake, but that can be debated due to its nature being rehaxed..

Still kinda funny, that they built up Serperior as this untoucable mon that salughtered everything in the Jr. Cup, and it get's owned by Pikachu in the first round of another tournament less than a dozen episodes later.

Maybe Emboar and Samurott are even stronger.

Poor Pignite doesn't find it funny ...

It would be beat by Pikachu anyway, doesn't matter which round that wasn't really the issue in this figth imo.

It appears that indeed the Terebi-kun magazine doesn't specify whether it's only one-on-one.

That's unfortunate...

That's unfortunate that just means more debates. But anything about emboar?

Just says -

"The tournament heats up with fierce battles!"

[Ciccone]

How vague. Unless the "heats up" part is a reference to Fire-type Pokemon like Emboar, but I don't think Japanese episode summmaries use obscure references; they're usually blunt.

[Demon Kitsune Yoko Kurama]

Well, at least it's something. Looks like we have to wait a few more days until more information comes.

[Pepsi_Plunge]

By the second weak of November we will probably know the last league title.

hopefully something like BW2-30 Final battle part 3! Satoshi vs Virgil!

[G50]

Likely Famitsu will be where we get those from, unless TV-Game comes out this month (I don't know its release schedule)

By the second weak of November we will probably know the last league title.

Probably November 6/7 from Newtype.
Unless Famitsu surprises us with extra titles. (rarely gives new titles)

How about instead of questioning the thought of it being 1 on 1, just accept that it is until stated otherwise. No use trying to force yourself into believing it's 3 on 3 when there's no evidence towards it.

That's exactly what I am doing.. like I said before, it doesn't matter to me at this point. I just want to see a good battle. Simple as that.

[HoennDreamer]

Trip getting knocked out straight away in a 1 on 1 battle? if this doesn't prove that trip was a dud, then nothing will.

Also this league is actually a club battle in disguise. "meaning it will suck"

Actually, the writers are probably doing it because they have other rivals such as Bianca, Kotetsu, and Virgil to focus on. My theory is that the rivals will get a lot of focus after the league in the filler arc.

[_Taidow_]

Anyone else notice the pattern? In that scan ^^^^ ( top of page )at the bottom it showed embosr and serperior, serp being trips, emb most likely being Bianca's, and by that logic I'm guessing kotetsu and samurott are right after Bianca.

Probably. I kinda hope so that thing looks strong.

[Locormus]

Still kinda funny, that they built up Serperior as this untouchable mon that slaughtered everything in the Jr. Cup, and it get's owned by Pikachu in the first round of another tournament less than a dozen episodes later.

First round doesn't matter.. Who you face in the first round is based on luck. Two candidates that would've been finalists can face each other in the first round and one would be out immediately, even though if he had a different opponent he could've made it to the finals. Meaning: Somebody who lost to a finalist could still have beaten other high ranking trainers as well. Unless it is a scenario as the one at the Indigo league. But looking at the Hoenn and Sinnoh leagues, one could definitely say that Ash could've won in the semi finals if he didn't have to face Tyson or Tobias already. In fact, because we know that Ash beat Darkrai and Latios, and the finalist didn't even beat Darkrai, this point is proven further.

It would be beat by Pikachu anyway, doesn't matter which round that wasn't really the issue in this figth imo.

Exactly, the masses are just upset about the order and the 'no full battle'-thingamajig.. Guess what peeps! Trip isn't Paul! OMG! :O

By the second weak of November we will probably know the last league title.

Lets hope so.. Would be a great parting giftbirthday gift..

hopefully something like BW2-30 Final battle part 3! Satoshi vs Virgil!

You're making me puke on purpose are you? A 3parter vs. Virgil? A no-name trainer with Eevee's??? And it would be more akin to BW2-23/24..

[pokemonsquared]

Well we need at least one battle on the level of Ash vs paul finals and It's obviously not gonna be Trip, Most likely Bianca is fighting right afterwards, Stephan's time is for sure during december because let's face it, who else could have a sawk at that time? Kotetsu might be possible but the only time Ash ever lost to someone not obviously stronger and wiser looking or a troll device made specifically to expedite that process so sinnoh could end in 3 episodes might as well be him.

So you go for the bag of crapEevee-marketing ploy called Virgil? Honestly, I still belief that Kotetsu is more like Richie then any other character we've seen before. This series is written like a Kanto as well. So why not Kotetsu? He's proven capable in murdering Mantine.
