[Demelza]

Today has certainly been an exciting day for Pokémon fans with the early CoroCoro leaks bringing us the reveal of a brand new Pokémon, but as the day has gone on even more news has come to light - both from CoroCoro and an exciting announcement from the Pokémon Company about a brand new App. If you wish to know more, then read on!

I downloaded the Pokemon TV app yesterday. Can't wait to watch the Meloetta short via it.

That's interesting news regarding the N arc too. I'd assumed that they would be drawing it out until next October. I really hope that whatever comes next is handled like a proper plotline and not just a bunch of random episodes. Both the Orange Islands and Battle Frontier were great spin-off sagas and I'd love to see another mini-arc emulate their style.

Mewtwo is coming back for another movie? I gotta say, I didn't see that one happening. That makes me a helluva lot more interested in movie 16 than I previously was.

As for the Pokemon Rumble Wii U game announcement: yay. Even if it's not quite the Wii U game I'd been hoping for, it's nice knowing that something Pokemon related is coming to the console later this year. My younger sisters really enjoyed playing Pokemon Rumble on the Wii so I'm sure they'll be excited to hear about this new one too. The 3DS version was too restrictive with its co-op gameplay.

Aye, same. After the Eeveelution news this was certainly my favourite news story, the app is a little buggy right now, but for a free legit way to watch Pokémon episodes I'm happy. ^^

I thought we'd at least make it to late May/early June with this arc, but I guess they have something bigger in store. At least I really hope they have some bigger in story, random episodes until October would really suck. Another arc like the Orange Islands would be pretty awesome and maybe they could even show off a small amount of the new Pokémon later on (if the new Eeveelution is going in the Pokémon short, they could get away with putting a few in the anime~).

Same, purely because Genesect doesn't interest me all that much and I'm fond of Mewtwo, even if it turns out not to be the same Mewtwo we've seen in the past. I'm hoping for a big Team Plasma and Genesect vs. Team Rocket and Mewtwo plot, which would be really really awesome. I hope Pokémon Smash brings a new trailer.

The Mastermind special had a virtual reality Mewtwo so I suspect this is not the real Mewtwo either. Probably another illusion or fake version.

As for the end of BW, they probably have some final tournament for Ash planned and then the departures of Iris, Cilan and possibly Team Rocket from the anime. Granted there's a small possibility of Cilan staying but I can see the writers getting rid of everyone again for the next arc. I can't see them dragging a character in the series forever like the way both Misty and Brock were handled badly after early Johto.

Very excited to see the new Eevee form in motion too.

Now, I'm no expert on the anime by any stretch of the imagination, but they haven't gotten rid of Team Rocket in fifteen years. Why would they start now?

Team Rocket's future is much more iffy than it used to be. Throughout Best Wishes we saw them less and less, and they weren't around whatsoever during the Unova League episodes (a first for the series). Overall their importance as characters just isn't what it used to be. They've been protagonists since day one but were also very obviously main characters too. Nowadays they're moreso just reoccurring protagonists. Time will tell what their fate is~

The same could have been said about Brock before BW started, and 10 years ago about Misty.

I never saw anyone other than Ash/Pikachu as permanent fixtures of the anime. The writers have been slowly but surely writing out all of the other classic Kanto characters from the series. Its been 16 years since the anime began, which is why they can drop so many ties to the past.

Also if you haven't noticed, Team Rocket haven't even appeared in most episodes of Best Wishes. Team Rocket even missing a single episode was unthinkable before BW began, now they've skipped half the saga.
