BWS2EN-7 - The Pokémon Gulf Coast Relief Corps!! [FIRST POST UPDATED 2/7]

[Ciccone]

Mostly all of these episodes sounds like fillers. Looks familar doesn't it?Orange Islands

The Orange Islands was a flawless saga though. At least Ash had a goal during that; what does he have in Episode N? Just mild curiosity about some ruins? Boring. He needs to do something else, otherwise this saga will be worse than BW, if that's even possible. But yeah, these newer episodes do sound like fillers right away, perhaps because this whole arc serves as one big filler until Gen 6 starts.

I'm sorry but I saw nothing flawless about fillers of islands and water pokemon, team Rocket and episodes of four measley gym battles. If he couldn't beat that cheap league than I would really be feeling sorry for him.

An other option is that this are the eps where Ash hunts after TP to get his Pika back and maybe even Axew cause I don't see it the Flocessy screenshot. So this could be an action filled ep

That's way too good for the writers to use. Sinnoh had sooooooo much development everywhere, but everything went down the drain the moment Pikachu met Zekrom at the port.

If anything, I presume there's going to be one more tourney arc that will probably redeem Ash and the other rivals. No chance in hell Burgundy and Georgia appeared for last in the PWT Junior Cup.

And then when Ash is about to win that one, Team Plasma goes loose and interrupts it... Hopefully, this isn't way too good for the writers to use, either.

It could be something similar to the whirl island saga. But even then Ash and Misty sort of had a goal. You are right; they need to give something for Ash to work towards to make it interesting. Unless they heavily emphasize on the whole Team Plasma wanting to capture Reshi/Zekrom plot, and Ash, N and Co. trying to ruin their plans, it is gonna be filler heavy and boring.

Ash doesn't need a tournament goal. People are acting as if this is something new in anime when it is not. Yugioh Waking the Dragons people and Virtual World arc are perfect examples. Filler arcs like this one in a series that uses tournaments quite a lot like Pokemon. Heck Yugioh season 5 was not a tournament and that was not even filler and honestly I loved them more than the tournament arcs

I honestly believe more and more in this theory(that TP takes away Pika and maybe Axew) I wrote! Ash & co. could race TP to Virbank city where in the games U have a face of with TP!
Looking at the screenshot from the magazine that tonight appeared U see Pika being captivated by TP. and that will probably happened at the end of the episode cause the gang has first to meet Locker, interact with them, get to know TP, fight their pokes and than TP gets Pika. So I go with that story for know. This will be a double part rescue ep.

But it doesn't look if he'll do much 'hunting' in the Ampharos episode, unless that's where the TP-group goes off into the fog or something.. But still you gotta take that opening scene into account.. Is that going to happen in BW4? And if so, then Pikachu will get retrieved in that same episode.. Or something.. Or nothing happens, and Episode N suddenly becomes: Episode No Pikachu... *Applause*

[Eneci]

The only thing the opening tells us is that Pikachu is with ash in Castelia. Theey could've hunted TP to Flocessy and than get loast in the fog.

But we will see. . .

So you give two shitty arcs that aren't part of the manga as an example of good?

Pokemon is not Yugioh its written in a diferent way, the story is diferent, the kid goal is to win leagues not go around stopping TP which yeah thats not the objective, if he actually had 3vs3 , 6vs6 figths with grunts, Colress, etc I would actually be fine but if we know anything from old Teams treatment we know that doesn't happen much, the whole I want a tournament here is because going for the league or not he should be trying to better himself as a trainer and entering competitions is the best way even though he is Oaking this pokemon at the end of the region.

I agree! I love they involve the TP story and trying to do it right! but it's about Ash become a Pokemon Master and waste more than 30 eps on TP is a bit too much!

Make some PWT's let him be a major trainer like in Sinnoh!

Well rigth now atleast we don't have any filler announced.

*says for the 300th time that he is still the same guy*

Such blasphemy!

I agree. I don't want tons of fillers, so I hope the writers have something in mind to keep us entertained in between the Team Plasma/N episodes.

But yeah, Watchog. I'll be honest and say that I dislike the species after the way Lenora's Watchog trolled Kingwott, but I'm willing to forgive the species if this episode turns out to be really fun. I'm hoping Jimmy Ray appears, but if not him, then I could at least settle for Cheren again or even a brand new character as long as they're interesting.

[Haunter227]

Orange Islands was great for development, but I suppose that's because it wasn't too long.

The battles were all phenomenal and even the fillers were enjoyable.

I have absolutely no problem with the arc other than the fact the GS Ball was used as the plot device to start it but ended up being a waste which made the entire arc feel pointless too.

The only real good battle I recall was against Drake, eveything else was kinda meh.

[Locormus]

Vs. Rudy was pretty good, and vs. Danny and Cissy were memorable to say the least! Who can forget that shot where Ash rockets out of the bushes on a thin slack of ice and barely wins the race down the hill? Or the race over the iceslab with Lapras for that matter..

In any case, we're pretty pathetic that this thread has more posts then the Seviper thread.. It's a Watchog people! :'(

[Hilda]

Probably a team plasma persons.

[AhTreyYou]

This episode will be about Cameron's Watchog, you heard it here first.

Someone mentioned this a few pages ago so I wouldn't say you're the first. I don't want Cameron to appear again until later in the arc and they can maybe have another 6on6 with Ash winning

[Demon Kitsune Yoko Kurama]

Probably a team plasma persons.

Probably or it could be just a wild one. :/

[AhTreyYou]

I was first, that was me that said that on my cousin's serebii account. Stop hating or else.

How am I supposed to know that? I'm not hating either. Dare I say or else what?
