Gosh, this “To Be Continued“ card has so much story in it, showing how much of an ego this Riolu has in itself, Gou showing a oh-dear-sorta-worried smile, Pikachu being like “oh boi“, Satoshi being like “oh well he looks happy at least“, and Rabbifoot is just... there lol
Damn this ep was so good for everyone, loved everything. Aya Matsui earns a spot as my favourite writer in Pokémon series!
I’ve never been happier about a capture episode, new favourite, Riolu is awesome, perfect personality, this shows it’ll be Riolu for a long while because it’s a friendship evolution line, aaaaaaaaahhhhhh it’s so cute help me I’m crying so much *sobs* Out of happiness ofc... sniff
Pokeani: “Which Pokémon will hatch from Satoshi’s egg on April 12th! Options are Riolu-“
Twitter: RIOLU IT’S RIOLU ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN
:DDD Other options are Sobble, Grookey, Tyrogue and Munchlax for those interested. I just find it adorable how many people want Riolu for Satoshi. So do I <3 Not only for the Aura Guardian stuff (I won’t expect a reference but knowing he’d have one able is just an awesome thought) but nowdays also because Kukui had a Lucario, give his Alolan Son a Lucario as well lol
Suddenly I realise Kukui and Satoshi share two same Pokémon. First Gaogaen/Incineroar line, now Lucario line.
I-I-I love it *sobs*
If Pokeani’s episode NS020 ended up being the start of the turning point for Koharu’s character to start growing and her appearing more and possibly traveling, I’ll so scream out of happiness when it finally happens! She seems to show more interest in episode NS021 by actually being there to see the egg Satoshi got, and asking her dad about the egg’s mysteries. Then actually seeing Satoshi show off the egg to Kairyu. I found that sweet of her.
Then again Aya Matsui wrote Koharu’s focus episode as well so it could be she wanted to include more of her in this episode XD But who knows. It does seem like they have something planned for Koharu, and are just taking their time with it. I look forward to seeing what that plan turns out to be.
I really liked the new episode a lot!! I love the idea of riolu and Ash bonding with each other through the aura waves before riolu even hatched and before Ash even met the egg. Its like Ash being the father searching for his child. For riolu I thought it was sad at first that it couldn't find the origin of the waves even though Ash was with it the whole time and didn't realize that Ash was the one who caused the waves when he fought that onix.
This is exactly what I loved about the episode AAAAAAHHHHHHH why is this so good *sobs*
Can we all agree Satoshi looked darn GOOD in NS021? Like, so darn good, it’s probably the first time I genuinely started loving the art style AAAHHH I love SM art style but this new one’s good too ah god damn my heart is overflowing with art style loving feels
Anipoke_PR on twitter has been posting small comics to promo upcoming episode for the past 2 episodes now, and gosh, today’s comic hints REAL strongly that Satoshi’s Aura is gonna come to play with Riolu :D Like, so real strong!
I’ll link the comic with translations done by DogasusBackpack to the source tag! I am beyond excited, 21 hours remain!
