There’s one lovely detail I noticed about Saito, which was apparent in the games but lovely to see taken into account in the anime as well!

Whenever Saito’s battling, her eyes are missing that “spark of life“ that most characters have, as in, she’s VERY focused on battling and doesn’t let any emotions affect her at all. I like how it shows in her movements, her voice, and her eyes!

Then, whenever she is not battling, her eyes have that sparkle again.

I love this attention to detail, as it shows how skilled Saito is in controlling her emotions and focusing 100% on battles. Nice, nice!

I’m not sure we ever see her eyes like this in the games, and I mean outside of the league card. I should try getting her as an opponent in the league rematch I guess!

JN039 included a flashback of Shijima/Chuck vs Satoshi/Ash, including Bayleef! GOSH this was awesome to see!

Let’s try doing a proper post of all September episodes that got revealed. Krhm.

September 13th 2020 - JN037 - I’m Home, Alola!

I’m way too emotional about this title I-

The title is ただいま, アローラ!  in japanese, I feel like considering the context “I’m home” is a good translation for it. I’m not crying guys-

September 20th 2020 - JN038 - Fossil Pokémon

Probably a tentative title, this is an early reveal of these titles after all. Possibly where Aerodactyl debuts! I guess this COULD technically be Alola episode since they’re back-to-back, but the preview footage didn’t scream Alola to me at least.

September 27th 2020 - JN039 - Satoshi VS Saito

Well that was a quick conclusion. Kinda wish it took a bit longer, but I understand they don’t want to drag it on and on. Looking forward to it!

Source is on twitter from AshandSerena user, the source has translations as well, but I actually tried translating these myself as well!

Chuck/Shijima returns next week, debuting his HGSS design! His old VA won’t return thou, but that’s fine, he has only appeared in one episode during Johto Series. But I’m excited for his return!

September’s upcoming Pocket Monsters episodes, summaries & staff lists

Here we go, confirmed full info on JN037, JN038 and JN039. Translations by Dephender on Serebii.Net forums

September 13th: JN037 - I'm Back! Nice to See You, Alola!

Satoshi and Go have come to Melemele Island in the Alola region to get an "Alola Form" Nassy! Satoshi goes around reuniting with Professor Kukui, the students from the Pokémon School he used to attend, as well as his Pokémon. But since this is Go's first time meeting them all, he's a bit nervous, and during the welcoming party that's held for the two at the Pokémon School, Satoshi's classmate Kaki challenges him to a battle, saying he'll "make sure this guy is a fitting rival for Satoshi"! Go decides to accept the challenge!! Screenplay 松井亜弥 (Aya Matsui) Storyboard 冨安大貴 (Daiki Tomiyasu) Episode Director 中田誠 (Makoto Nakata) Animation Director 海老沢咲希 (Saki Ebisawa) Animation Director 高橋優 (Yuh Takahashi)

So the info on staff list was true! I am incredibly happy about that!

September 20th: JN038 - The Colossal Restoration and the Fossil Pokémon!

Satoshi and Go are attending the "Great Fossil Pokémon Exhibit" being held at the Museum of Science in Nibi City, and Go's childhood friend Koharu has come with them since this can be of help with her research project. The three of them decided to join a "Fossil Digging Activity" overflowing with romanticism, where they'll be able to restore fossils to living Pokémon if they find some that are in good condition. Go searches like a madman since he really wants to get a fossil Pokémon, but what he ends up finding is a bit of "Secret amber" that has some Pokémon DNA contained in it. What kind of Pokémon will be reborn from this?! Screenplay 藤咲淳一 (Junichi Fujisaku) Storyboard 齋藤徳明 (Noriaki Saito) Episode Director 牧野友映 (Tomoe Makino) Animation Director 平田雄三 (Katsuzo Hirata) Animation Director 永山恵 (Megumi Nagayama) Animation Director 水野隆宏 (Takahiro Mizuno)

While I’m sad for no Alola two-parter, I am VERY excited for more Koharu! And it’s for her research project at school? :D OH YEAH! Koharu, you’ve got me interested! Secret amber is Old amber in localization terms btw, so Aerodactyl for Gou confirmed!

September 27th: JN039 - Satoshi VS Saito! Overcome Octolock!!

Satoshi wants a rematch with Gym Leader Saito from the Galar region, who utterly defeated him in their official Pokémon World Championships battle, so he has gone to the Tanba Gym in the Jouto region where she's currently training. Saito accepts his challenge and the battle starts, with Go and Tanba Gym's Gym Leader Shijima watching. Satoshi and Riolu are burning with a desire to win this rematch, and attempt a certain counterstrategy against Otosupus' "Octolock", which is what defeated them last time. How will this match go?! Screenplay 冨岡淳広 (Atsuhiro Tomioka) Episode Director 浅田裕二 (Yūji Asada) Storyboard 浅田裕二 (Yūji Asada) Animation Director 岩根雅明 (Masaaki Iwane) Animation Director 志村泉 (Izumi Shimura)

Welp, we’re actually reuniting with one of Johto’s Gym leaders! And again golden trio staff episode! Very excited for this one! Go Riolu gooo!

Odd we don’t have anything for October 4th, but maybe later!
