wasn't armored mewtwo just a thing in the first pokemon movie. if it was any other pokemon i'd maybe see it as gen 8 poo poo but there's precedent for this.

Yeah it's possible this doesn't tie in to Gen 8, though with them being called Sword/Shield an armor gimmick would make sense.

The only post you can trust because the user didn't have a tripcode.

To be fair it's not a hard thing to predict so this is probably still bogus.

It wasn't that kinda armor tho. Also it was more a restraining device thingie IIRC.

Also I'll refer to it as Armor Digivolution just because it will make some people angry.

The last movies always tie into the next related gen, Movie 2 with Lugia, Movie 5 with Latis, Movies 8 and 9 with Lucario and Manaphy (Gen 4 was a long wait), Movie 13 with Zoroark, Movie 16 with Mega Mewtwo Y, Movie 19 with Magearna...

Since we're out of Mythical Pokemon bar Melmetal (which the regular anime is going towards), they gotta show off something new to promote the new games.

Just saw the Battle Factory two-parter. The actual fight was decent, but they really didn't need to stretch a single one-on-one battle into a two-parter like that. Dogasu's entry for this episode informs me that most of the other Frontier Brains will get one episode each, which is for the best if this sort of padding is the alternative. Though they could have legitimately gotten several episodes out of the Battle Factory if they'd made it a series of randomized Rental Pokemon battles like in the games. Oh well.

Edit: Though on the other hand, Rental Pokemon battles are counterthematic (the focus is supposed to be on the bond between Ash and his Pokemon), so I can see why they didn't take that approach. They could at least have made it a 3v3, though.

I hope they make a movie about Armored Mewtwo duking it out with Complete Zygarde. They don't even have to star the human characters, just one hour and a half of biomechanical monsters fighting.

I miss Rental battles in the games though. What was the last game to have them? Platinum?

EDIT: Oh poo poo they were in B&W2, shame I never played that one.

Hmm. So... Detective Pikachu the game is even less subtle about the foreshadowing, huh?

Oh Harry always loved his coffee. Harry loved his sweets, too! Too bad about Harry... Oh, Pikachu! Get out of the sweets! I swear, he was never like that before Harry disappeared. ... He never drank coffee, either.

Gee, I wonder.

Oh also I just finished the bit in the lab. I was happy to see a person of color! Hey, good job, game! A black man just doing normal things. That's nice. Oh... he's the dirtbag who slipped R to the Trevenant to make it go crazy. Great. Good job, game.

The Detective Pikachu twist is kind of guessable by reading a one paragraph summary of the plot. It's not the most shocking.
