Did anyone else find the new capture really lacklustre?

I don’t mind Liko getting charcadet, it’s one of my favourite paldea mons and this one has a very charming personality already. I’d thought for awhile whoever got the amarouge would probably be important to Amethio somewhat, so Liko is a good pick.

But I just felt really let down by the pacing in this episode. Charcadet didn’t even show up until the halfway point, had one very small interaction with liko, and then just decides to go with her. If they’d cut the penny battle and begun at the picnic scene we could’ve seen liko and charcadet bond some more. It’s not even at the end of the ep, we don’t see how the rest of the rvt react to it, and from the looks of it it’s not even in the next episode? Just some really odd choices to me. I guess I just feel like hz has never botched a big moment like this before, and it’s especially disappointing given this is most likely liko’s final capture.

I wasn’t even sure if she really needed anything else, but I suppose it’s fair given Roy basically has 4 pokemon atm (Yes cap counts, he gets to command him and has him in his eyecatch) plus even after cap goes back to friede, roy will most likely have rayquaza. Pagogo is only really used to hoover up rakruium atm and hattrem is a support healer mostly, so it does make sense for them to give Liko a second battler. Does make me wonder if we could potentially be getting megas for amarouge/ceruledge? I don’t think everyone needs megas, but if they’re giving liko a new pokemon it might as well as be one that can mega evolve.

I’m going to assume that her charcadet might play a big role in helping amethio? Personally I think he’s been very depressed over the timeskip and is isolating himself on that beach. I’d wondered for awhile if liko’s lyrics in get back would also be pretty relevant for him given the two of them tend to go through similar struggles, so perhaps the ‘just like you i need to evolve’ will be triggered for him by seeing charcadet and remembering how far he and ceruledge have come together? I’m 100% certain Liko is going to play a key role in getting him back on his feet anyway, the fact that they’re meeting Zir and Conia next ep makes me even more certain as it’s most likely setup for her to learn about his disappearance.

I also wonder what kind of dynamic charcadet and cerueldge will have. To me, meowscarada is more ceruledges rival as she’s had a steady arc of catching up to it in terms of strength, so an amarouge had always felt kinda redundant to me when everyone was saying Liko should get one. I really hope instead they have more of a dynamic like crocalor and charizard. I think it’d be really cute if charcadet admired ceruledge instead of feeling a rivalry towards it… ceruledge is also kinda lacking when it comes to dynamics with other pokemon, so it’d be really nice to see it develop a bond with charcadet. Especially if it acts like an older sibling around it aldovivigifiis

All in all, whilst i’d never really subscribed to liko getting charcadet/amarouge and am disappointed in the capture, it’s already grown on me a lot. look at the little guy with his sticks

PokeToon Episode 16 Review - Childhood Friend Charcadet

What a perfect way to end a season of PokeToon. Wow. They really did save the best for last because this was such a fantastic episode. The storytelling was splendid and the visual effects were amazing. This is legit the best episode of PokeToon and a masterpiece of an animated Pokemon media as a whole.

Basically, the story is about two Charcadets that lived peacefully in the wild—I’ll describe the first Charcadet as ‘Charcadet’ and the second one as ‘Shiny Charcadet’ just so it’ll be easier to differentiate. One day, Charcadet encountered a lost Rotom Phone and saw a recording of a Pokemon tournament, implying to be the Academy Ace Tournament, and became enamored with what it saw. When encountering the phone’s owner, a boy named Yuto, the Charcadet is challenged to a battle for the device. When it lost to his Shroomish, Yuto makes an offer to come along with him as he could see potential in its strength. Charcadet accepts the offer and leaves Shiny Charcadet behind to fend for itself.

The storytelling was brilliant in that it doesn’t have a lot of dialogue. The main characters are two Charcadets that later evolve into both Branch Evolution. Because they’re Pokemon, they just use Pokemon-speak and body language to communicate. A majority of this story lacks dialogue, yet the body language totally made up for it. I can easily tell one Charcadet was mischievous and the other was timid. Their personality changed once they evolved, as a sign of growing up, but how they changed is also different. I love that this story is actually based on a little story you can find in the in-game library about Charcadet fighting a Gengar and choosing the future it would take to stop it. Yuto tells this story to Charcadet as his family has been housing the Auspicious armor for generations, apparently.

Despite this being a seventeen-minute short, it gives a lot of details regarding each character and the small amount of details that make them feel whole. Charcadet starts off mischievous and cheeky, yet it evolves into a noble and composed Amarouge. Shiny Charcadet, timid and very shy, evolves into a Ceruledge that held a grudge for being abandoned. In all honesty, Amarouge wasn’t a very good friend with the way it just up and ditched Ceruledge when they were in their first stages. It didn’t even think about his friend in its childhood and when it did remember it, it was only once until it showed up in the tournament.

Yuto, the trainer, actually has a lot of character too. When he first met Charcadet, he sends out his Shroomish despite having a water-type in his party. It’s to show that he’s not willing to hurt it and that he is a kind and thoughtful person. He doesn’t even capture Charcadet after defeating it. All he did was ask if he wanted to join him to get stronger, to which Charcadet did. I love how small details about him shows off that he is a rich boy like his backpack and his poise. He’s also a good trainer because he spends time with his Pokemon, training them and evolving them and even caught a Rufflet that Charcadet fought. Props to the creators for giving him a Quaxwell. The Quaxly line definitely needs more love.

The animation was superb. Studio Colorido needs start producing their original works or do anime adaptations because the way they animate is seriously amazing. If they’re able to make quality action sequences like the Amarouge vs Ceruledge fight, who know what else they’re capable of if they’re given larger projects! Just to let you know, this is the animation studio that also did previous PokeToon shorts like Blossom’s Dream and animated a majority of Twilight Wings.

The ending is definitely one that brings in a lot of thoughts. Shiny Charcadet never really wanted a trainer and as a Ceruledge, I think wandering around with Gengar and the group of Bronzor it met at an abandoned building was a nice conclusion. Like the book Yuto read to Charcadet, the story is ultimately about the future a Charcadet chooses. Charcadet chose to be with Yuto and evolved into Amarouge while Shiny Charcadet evolved into Ceruledge and then when realizing its friend was content with the life it was living, it decided to walk its own path. Besides, the end credits show that Ceruledge is living a peaceful life befriending other wild Pokemon. It kind of shows that not all Pokemon want to be captured or have a Trainer. I feel like it would be too typical if the ending had Ceruledge join Yuto.

The voice acting in this animated short was superb as well. Charcadet, and later Amarouge, is voiced by Yuki Sakakihara. I think this is the first time I’ve seen him in Pokemon, but he’s a rising star in that he’s known for his role in Hypnosis Mic as Jyushi Aimoto. Yumiri Hanamori voices Shiny Charcadet who later becomes Ceruledge. I think her take on Ceruledge is a nice difference from the Ceruledge seen in Horizons as Hanamori gives it an androgynous voice. Hanamori is known for voicing Sagiri from Hell’s Paradise. Yuto is voiced by Soma Saito who has been in Pokemon before. He was Trace in the eighth episode of Pokemon Evolutions and voices Cress in Pokemon Masters.

This marks the end of this year’s PokeToon season. Hopefully, there will be more next year or when Gen 10 comes! For now, I’ll do my best to review the older episodes of this season and the previous one! But seriously, I want every Pokemon fan to watch this episode at least once in their lives. It’s such a beautiful episode. If you have watched it, what are your thoughts on the storytelling and on the ending?

cough cough umm do you have any headcannons for service pokémon armarouge? Ik it’s part fire type and could be a hazard but hey, at least SOMEONE out there has to have one right?

Ok tbh I think every pokemon would make a good service pokemon. Some are better, especially for certain tasks or as a more generic service pokemon, but if you want a Regigigas as a service pokemon literally who can stop you. I firmly believe that the pokemon world has no bigotry or ableism or w/e so whatever u want as a service pokemon is gonna be worked with

Amarouge are capable and willing to blast people with fireballs, but so can a lot of pokemon. A well trained one can be convinced not to set your enemies on fire... unless you want them too

Being constantly warm is a huge help to those with stiff muscles or muscle pain. Can you imagine the sheer quality of massages this thing would give???? Sign me up

They're strong enough to carry their trainers and their things, and smart and adept enough to . Imagine going grocery shopping with one of these guys. The ideal

One of the few service pokemon who can kill your enemies, open your pill bottles, provide a head pack, act as emotional support, AND assemble ikea furniture for you

Not really service related but this pokemon would be AWESOME as a helper to firefighters-- they can blast through debris and aren't harmed by the flames, so they can rescue people in burning buildings no problem
