I wonder if Ash does indeed enter this tournament for the saga finale, what other old characters would they use (if any at all)? Leon and Raihan feel like a lock (though Raihan could be the penultimate fight before the tournament). I know they're apprehensive about using original old characters, but I think old game characters should be easily allowed because Lance is here. I hope Cynthia returns, and Alder too because he deserves to be in a better series lmao

What the hell? Was that a new legendary pokemon they saw outside of the plane? I haven't seen that one before. Damn that was big.
Or was that the one final boss in SwSh?

That was a solid episode. Really liked seeing a glimpse of Eternatus.


New titles:
Mar 1st: PM2019 015: Snow Day: Where is Karakara's Bone?
There's trouble with the system at the Sakuragi Laboratories, so for the first time in a while, Go returns home to where his parents and grandmother are waiting for him. He's happy to meet them again after not seeing them for so long, but that joy doesn't last long, as he's told his parents are going to get home late due to a sudden job. While he's waiting, Go spots a Karakara being attacked by a Mankey in a park near the house, and heads over together with Hibanny in order to help it. However the Mankey has ended up running off with the Karakara's beloved bone. Go decides to work with his Pokémon to search for the bone, but...

Mar 8th: PM2019 016: Satoshi Has Been Cursed...!
Mysterious phenomena have been occurring recently at the Sakuragi Laboratories, like items being broken and rooms being ransacked. And believe it or not, the culprit turns out to be the same Gangar that has appeared there before. Satoshi and Go's eyes blaze with enthusiasm as they claim they'll definitely get it THIS time. But then Satoshi suddenly starts acting weird... not only does he almost fall down the stairs, he also nearly ends up drinking the water from a flower vase by accident. Could he have been cursed by the Gangar?

New summary for Ep.14
The "Ruins of the Titans" have been discovered in the Resort Desert, a desert in the Isshu region. Satoshi and Go set off to investigate them in order to uncover their mysteries. The duo cross the desert and somehow manage to reach the ruins. But inside, numerous traps await them. Is this a message telling them to not approach the titans?

Eternatus in the episode is interesting because Iwane stated back when he did a sketch of the pokemon that it looked like it would be hard to animate. I hope they don't go CG later.

That's the sort of lore and backstory missing fr the games, stuff that connects to other regions with some tidbits is the one thing that makes or breaks the games for me.

I'm actually wondering if Ash will be able to enter this tournament at all. Seems like you need a damn good resume to get into it.
Ash won the orange league, battle frontier and alola league plus being part of those other leagues. Im sure he's qualified to enter, unless some bs plot device makes him do random tournaments.

You would think, but then you got Ash here who didn't even know the PWT existed. Which to be honest is strange as hell, but you do you anime.

I think Ash is gonna get an invite to the Galar league next episode. Beating Leon(plus everything else he's done) on his home terf is a pretty good statement to get an invite to the PWT.

I'm assuming the titans are just Golurk. A magazine scan had it part of this episode .
Ash catching a Golurk would be baller as fuck, I hope it happens.

Probably the reason why he can activate Dynamax for Pikachu, its some bullshit plot device.

Man from the sounds of it the PWT for Ash is gonna be a crowning achievement if he ever wins it, gonna be interesting how long this plays out.

If he even gets to the PWT, that is a crowning achievement. You have to be considered Top 8 in the world to get there.

Huge doubt on that beating Leon at this point. Either

A. Ash Jobs hard and loses.
or
B. Fight get's interrupted midway through.

So, Pikachu dynamax, Gigantimax or not? I'm guessing it's Gigantimax, same with the Rockets Meowth when we get to the point they get to Dynamax.

With Ash being allowed to finally win a league anything is possible at this point.
Is he going beat Leon next week? No, but he at least forced Leon to Gigantamax which is saying a lot.

Watch Pikachu get an all new never before seen form next week lol.
Personally I wanna see the Giga form.

So we might not get Gym battles? or maybe they'll appear in the tournament or something?

Was excited to hear about the PWT, as its surely going to be stacked and it will be fun to see how far Ash can get.

Might be too early to say, because the new series is clearly still getting into full swing, but I was WAY more invested in the Sun and Moon anime by this point.

I won't be happy if these two don't at least show up when he goes back to Alola.

I miss the fluff man.

Ash is entering the World Championship. Dudes gonna be World champ when this series ends. Awesome

I wonder if this mean Ash is gonna fight other champion/E4 characters as well then.



Next episode looks really fun actually.
I was right on Golurk being the raid boss.
