Wow, I wasn't expecting something this big to be announced! Really looking forward to it, though I needed to get a 3DS asap.

Can't wait to play. Definitely going to use Fennekin. I might even like it more than Charmander and Cyndaquil.

I haven't seen the episode yet, it's a bit funny how a few starters have similar stories. Both Bulbasaur and Turtwig were leader-type Pokemon that defended fellow weaker Pokemon against humans. They also befriended a female that also cared for the other Pokemon. Charmander, Chimchar, and Tepig were fire starters that were abandonded/released because their original trainers found them to be too weak.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing this episode. It doesn't sound to be that original, but these storylines are still entertaining.

Hope these are okay!

Movie 3: Spell of the Unown

Molly Hale: Molly Hale lived in Greenfield and was the daughter of two researchers. Her mother went missing, and her father, Spencer, later went missing as well. Spencer, however, left a box containing Unown letter tiles before he went missing. In the care of her family servants, Molly found the box and spelt the names of her loved ones. The Unown were awoken by Molly’s emotions to grant her wish. There, Entei was brought to her and quickly became a father figure to Molly, who she believed was her father because Spencer would tell her stories about Entei. Wanting a mother as well, Molly sent Entei to hypnotize Ash’s mother, Delia, and kidnap her.

After Delia snaps out of confusing, she begins to reason with Molly. Ultimately, Molly finally realizes what is happening to those around her, so Entei sacrifices himself in order to rid the Unown away. While Molly once again feels alone, she is rejoined with her father and soon later, her mother.

Even though he’s powerful, he resorts to using Dark Balls, which easily capture Pokémon, which become brainwashed into obeying him.

Towa: As a young girl, Towa warned Sam about the dangers of the forest he was travelling through and also presented him with a loaf of bread so he wouldn’t go hungry. 40 years later when Sam returned at the same age, she recognized him still holding the bread she gave and knew Celebi was the cause.

After following them via a tracking device on Diane’s van, Butler captured Jirachi and used its power. Instead of resurrecting Groudon, it instead created an evil being that was similar to it.

Diane: Diane was Butler’s girlfriend and assistant. She didn’t approve of Butler’s alliance with Team Magma, but continued to work with him in his magic shows.

-----

Samurai (SL4): As Ash and Misty traveled through the Viridian Forest, Ash was challenged by the Samurai after interrupting Ash’s attempt at catching a wild Weedle. The Samurai was looking for Ash as he already lost to Gary and two other trainers from Pallet Town.

In the midst of battle, a swarm of Beedrill disrupted the match, angered by Ash’s battle with the Weedle. The three fled and hid in the Samurai’s cabin. There, he belittled Ash, calling him a bad trainer for leaving his Metapod behind after the Beedrill captured it.

The Samurai eventually gained respect for Ash when Ash put his safety on the line in order to save Metapod, which then evolved into Butterfree.

Seymour (SL6): Seymour is a scientist that investigated why Pokémon were behaving strangely on Mt. Moon. After discovering Team Rocket was behind it, they were sent blasting off. There, Seymour and the others befriended a Clefairy. Seymour had a theory that they came from space via shuttle. When the gang witnessed some Clefairy evolve into Clefable, Seymour decided to live on Mt. Moon to do further research.

Lily (SL7): Lily is one of Misty’s older sisters. She is also one of the three temporary gym leaders at the Cerulean Gym along with her two sisters.

Violet (SL7): Violet is one of Misty’s older sisters. She is also one of the three temporary gym leaders at the Cerulean Gym along with her two sisters.

Daisy (SL7): Daisy is the oldest of Misty’s sisters. She is also one of the three temporary gym leaders at the Cerulean Gym along with her two sisters. Between Lily, Violet, and herself, Daisy takes most responsibility for the gym until Misty eventually takes over. She is also more sensitive toward Misty as opposed to Lily and Violet, who often tease her more.

A.J. (SL8): A.J. runs an unofficial Pokémon gym. He owns many Pokémon, but favors his Sandshrew. He won 98 consecutive wins and was undefeated. Ash challenged him to a battle, but was defeated, ultimately making him A.J.’s 99th victory. After discovering A.J.’s vigorous training routine, Ash criticized A.J.’s methods. Brock and Misty, however, were impressed with the strength of his Pokémon.

When A.J.’s Sandshrew was stolen by Team Rocket, A.J. and the others went looking for it. After finding Team Rocket, he challenged them to a battle where he earned his 100th win. With this victory, A.J. felt ready to finally start travelling in attempts to becoming a Pokémon master.

Melanie (#10): Melanie lived in a Hidden Village where she cared for sick and injured wild Pokémon along with a Bulbasaur. After Ash and Bulbasaur worked together to protect the Pokémon from Team Rocket, Melanie suggested that Ash become it’s master since she believed the wild Pokémon were getting too comfortable being under Bulbasaur’s care.

Damian (#11): Damian was Charmander’s original owner. He abandoned it believing Charmander was too weak to be on his team of Pokémon. Upon seeing how strong Charmander was after fighting off Team Rocket, Damian requested for it to rejoin him, but Charmander ultimately decided to stick with Ash after he, Misty, and Brock took care of it during a storm.

Not to mention winning by using a Pokemon he didn't even officially capture. I don't get it. When a Pokemon becomes confused, attracted, or falls asleep, they're still considered able to battle, but when a Pokemon laughs, they cannot continue. Crazy logic.

I agree, though. Very weak match. Even though I truly enjoyed the Indigo League season, the gym battles were awful for the most part.
