My GOSH was today’s episode absolutely BRILLIANT! Brilliant brilliant BRILLIANT!

Everyone knows how much I love Pokémon-centric episodes, and this was one of those. They utilized Gou’s and Satoshi’s Pokémon so well, and the culprit did indeed end up being Skwoket. AND RIOLU WAS THE CUTEST FRICKING BABY THING TODAY LIKE OHMYGOOOOOOD IT CLANG ONTO SATOSHI SO MUCH AND WAS SO HELPFUL AND SO CHEERFUL AND COPIES SATOSHI AND SFJHGFSJHGFSGFJHSG I LOVE RIOLU SO MUCH MY HEART FEELS SO FULL RIGHT NOW AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH IMISSEDPOKEANISOMUCH!!!

Next week’s a HYPE, Matori is BACK BABY, Rocket Gang gonna be on VACATION, there’s gonna be TRUCE PLOT BETWEEN BRATS AND ROCKETS AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FINALLY WE HAVE ANOTHER TRUCE EPISODE THE PREVIEW LOOKED ABSOLUTELY GREAT

AND WE’RE SO CLOSE TO CORNI RETURN IT IS ONLY TWO WEEKS TIL CORNI AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BEST SUMMER SEASON EVAAH!

I was a little mixed on Riolu at first since i'm not always a fan of the overconfident/arrogant pokemon trope which he seemed to be in his first episode, but this episode showed that he is indeed baby. Enough to put him close to my top favourite ash pokemon. His team is so good this time. I really hope we get an episode like this that focuses on and develops Ash's pokemon more

I’ve ALWAYS been a fan of Riolu and I fell in love with Satoshi’s Riolu right away lol It acted like a “I’m not a baby“ baby and then shows getting closer jhgfsjhfgsjhfgjshfjfsgfjhjhf love it. Pls don’t evolve soon

I'm happy I finally got to see Golurk rampage, sad it was resolved so quickly. Riolu was adorable this episode, the fact he was clinging onto ash and being carried over when they rushed on the ice to rescue the cascoon was cute

I never knew this part of Golurk lore so I’m quite happy to witness it now :D And RIOLU STEALING MY HEART HNNNNNNGHHHHHHHHHHH yes, yes, that scene was so cute aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

I swear Riolu is now on top 3 fav Satoshi ‘mon alongside Rowlet and Totodile *sobs*

Btw, less than 12 hours til Pokeani returns.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn I miss the show ;V;

I’ll throw in couple theories on what April episodes of Pokeani will consist of, since they’re quite spoilerific, more under the cut:

So, next week we’ll have an egg that is like, totally a Riolu egg. A scan from about a week ago or so asked to guess whether the egg is Riolu, Sobble, Grookey, Munchlax or Tyrogue. Now: we can pretty much say the egg is Riolu. That’s NS021. NS022 focuses on Gou and Rabbifoot’s bond-fixing, or so I’d predict. Now, NS023 is about food going missing and the boys trying to find the culprit. Guess who would fit in? Munchlax!

So, based on that, we will see Sobble, Grookey and Tyrogue as well during April/start of May! Tyrogue could fit in to NS022 plot, so I could predict NS024 introducing the rest of the Galar Starters! We still don’t know what is about after all, so it’s open for all theories! Technically, all could appear in NS021, but I think they have a chance at having appearances during each week of April! Let’s see how it goes :D

Either TV tokyo is understaffed and giving false info, or TV Tokyo just did indeed delay next week's episode. Current schedule shows rerun for pokeani next week.

Currently no official word on this from anipoke official twitter, so it could be an error. But it could also be real. We'll see tomorrow :(
