Thread: Upcoming pokemon appearences?

Not usually one to jump the gun on this sort of thing, but I thought it was easy to connect the dots on this occassion.




Found this calendar image floating around, and noticed that it features some interesting character selctions.
Some of these have already appeared during the first 6/7 episodes of season 2 (Reuniclus, Ferrothorn, Cinccino, Hydreigon), while others (Krookodile, Riolu, Vullaby, Samurott) we know are going to turn up in future episodes thanks to titles and summaries. Some like Corphish and Eevee were also shown on the first promotional poster we saw for the season.

There's also a set of pokemon kid's figures coming out that features a number of the pokemon that also appear on the calendar. It's worth noting that these particular sets have correlated to upcoming pokemon appearences in the show often in the past.




So if these are indeed going by the appearances of pokemon in the show, the remaining characters include these dudes

Corphish(!)
Combee
Lucario
Milotic
Golem
Rhydon
Sunflora
Zangoose
Seviper
Roserade
Golbat
The Eeveelutions
Mareep
Liepard
Altaria
Stoutland
Haxorus
Charizard(!)

Time to post all the crazy and over the top speculation about future events that have little to no chance to ever come true :P

Seviper: OMG HE'LL COME BACK TO HELP TEAM ROCKET IN THE TWO-PARTER! or just some random one like the Zangoose
Haxorus: IRIS' AXEW WILL EVOLVE TWICE INSTANTLY!(this should be no surprise :P) Drayden!
Liepard: GRIMSLEY WILL SHOW UP WITH HIS GAMBLING PROBLEMS/ TEAM PLASMA! or just another random one
Vullaby: CILAN WILL CATCH IT BECAUSE RUFFLET ISN'T THERE! or that could be because they didn't have space
Wailord: MARLON! or just the random one that was in the first bw2 ep
Charizard and Corphish: THEY'LL COME BACK AND HELP ASH! or they're just filler..
Roserade: NANDO WILL BE BACK FOR SOME REASON lolno
Staryu: MISTY WILL 100% COME BACK! or maybe it was just about that random Staryu in the Onix episode

Hmm...if this is predicting the future, then I find it odd that some of the remaining 6 pokes that have yet to be said to be coming are not shown (Zweilous, Zoroark, Klang, and Eelektrik. This does seem to hint two of them: Liepard and Braviary)

You're right, he'll be back. Sunflora and Altaria also appear on the poster. Oh, I wish!


Liepard is here, yay! The purple cat is one of my favorite Generation V Pokémon and I hope it makes a good debut, as opposed to what happened with poor Cinccino.
And Milotic... so far, it only appeared under the command of a Top Coordinator or a Frontier Brain. I hope the writers DO NOT break the tradition.

@Human;

I don't see why Wailord linking to Marlon is "wild crazy speculation" after all Marlon is in the opening credits and it is his signature Pokemon along with Jellicent.
Also I woudn't discount the Seviper/Charizard theories either.

I would. If TR actually were to get their Pokémon back, don't you think they would've been displayed on the preview for the TR arc? After all, for the Rockets to get their old Pokémon back would be considered a rather important event in my book. Also, why only Seviper? If we saw either Yanmega or Carnivine there, then maybe I would've bought it, but now, I don't.

If I was to make a guess, I'd say that both Milotic, Lucario and Roserade all belong to Cynthia. She has the three of them in the games, and if Cynthia actually stays in East Unova longer than up to the TR arc, then I could definitely see her reveal some more Pokémon.

Haxorus must belong to Drayden! YESH. The Drayden arc/episode is what I'm looking forward to the most as of now. It's so obvious that Iris really doesn't want to meet him again, so I can't wait to see what awesomeness will unfold once they meet eachother again.

Eeveelutions? Cool. Will we get something like the Eevee-brothers or the Kimono-sisters? I'd be fine with that, however I really want Dento to catch an Eevee. He needs a little fluff ball in his team.

It doesn't have to be back permanently. Similar to Ash occasionally calling up old Pokemon in Orange Islands or at the end of a league. There could be a filler ep with some festival or some shit and Jessie asks for her Seviper to be sent to her, then sent back at the end of the ep for whatever reason.

Unrelated, but I just noticed that some dates are highlighted. Let's see...Jan. 14, Feb. 11, Mar. 20, Apr. 29, May 3,4, and 6, July 15, Sept. 16 and 23, Oct. 14, Nov. 23, and Dec. 23

I'm not sure, but I think those're just japanese holidays.

Well bugger. They are. Never mind then. (I can't find context for May 6, though)

Oh, I sincerely doubt that. Even though it only would've been a temporary visit for Seviper, I still see absolutely no reason for Seviper to be the only one to come back.
A festival? With the BW TR? Nah. It is higly unlikely in my book, especially with the fact that Zangoose is on the scan too, which makes me think that both of them will be involved with something.

I just hope Lucario & Riolu being the party with 'em like they've done before. Not saying the episodes with them should be as good as the ones in DP (this is Best Wishes after all. I especially don't want to pressure Li'l R), but it was always a good time when they showed up in DP and hopefully they make it a good time on BW too (even if it'll be a little harder this time)

Riolu is definitely Kotetsu's in my opinion, so I'm wondering if the Lucario isn't a different one. It's unlikely that Kotetsu only battles against Mantain, so I'm wondering if we'll see the Riolu evolve in the gym match.

Is that charazard ash's?

Unfortunately all the Eeveelutions are there, and not just Glaceon, just to really get things spicy. ;D
