Meh, one of my classes got cancelled; I'm so bored!!! So, I decided to get early on today's new preview for the next episode in Japan.
Advanced Generation Episode #53: Skitty and Assist! Meadow of Numel
Hmm... much debate has sparked about whether or not someone will catch Numel in this epsiode. Personally, I'd rather it be James than Ash. James needs another pokemon, and Numel would be an awesome pokemon for TR to have. What Ash needs for a fire pokemon is something kick-a**, not slow and dopey like Numel. I don't really know if a Torkoal would suit him, but certainly not a Numel. Just my feelings on the matter. As to the chances of someone catching Numel. Probably not.
The Preview:
It opens with the usual red screen with Groudon on it, and then jumps to a scene with Skitty holding onto a Numel's ear happily, and then letting go after it doesn't respond. Then we see a Numel standing on it's hind legs and leaning with its front paws on the tree to eat. A furret is in the background (OMG Johto pokemon!). Then it cuts to a scene with a giant Numel (obviously a TR machine) that has a few "grabbers" grabbing up a sleeping Numel. There must be a 'herd' of them, because the Numel has other Numel around it sleeping too. Then we get some really fast shots of some May getting chased by some Slugma (wow, Johto pokemon... again!), Ash ordering Pikachu to use an electric attack (which he does, in his usual Pikachu manner), a Numel blowing a bit of steam out of its hump (the first pic below except it hasn't blown yet), and a woman ordering Furret (apparently hers) to attack. It jumps to a screen with Skitty readying to attack with May standing behind her, and then it shows Skitty and Furret battling. Some Numel pound at a wall with their bodies; and Jessie orders an attack. Then it leaves us with a scene of May leaping in an attempt to catch Skitty (the second pic).
The Pictures:

The Talk:
Well, to me this episode preview shows nothing in the way of a connection between one of the trainers and the Numel. Without showing that, I think it's safe to say that no one will be catching a Numel anytime fast. That's a shame too, because Numel's so cool! (In my opinion). It seems as if this episode will have some May/Skitty focus, and some battling too! The only unfortunate thing is that it looks as if TR will just be doing their usual...... I'm SO tired of that!! Is it really that hard to come up with something new for them to do? It might be fun and different to have the writers surprise us with things like Ash not getting all the starter pokemon, or Pikachu learning Iron Tail; but it would be even better if they would surprise us with some new things for TR to do!
