"Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu!" (Part 1 of 2) Episode Discussion

[Miss Reyna]

Yeppie. I like the Aura storyline too. It finally gives Ash some sort of importance since really it could be used to explain a lot of the things that happen to Ash. Teeheehee I mean now he is actually much more important then before. Su still this could just be for DP but it makes him just a bit more speacial.

the aura storyline is amazing, Ash gets some main importance.

A major question to askhere is, WILL HE GET RIOLU

why not:
it could be that old guy's pokemon (or just one that hangs around the geezer)
Ash has 6 pokemon(staravia, gligar, pikachu, buizel, chimchar, turtwig)
The ranger might not let Ash have him

Why it could happen:
in kanto, when ash had 6 pokemon, he caught 30 tauros, and a Krabby(later kingler) so he could catch it and it'll just go to oak
Riolu seems to be liking ash(aura buddies!)

How ash could get another riolu:
IRON ISLAND!!!!!!


How you can find out early:
In japan, the episode has aired already, so just look for it online(though i can't find it)

why does everyone think ash is getting a riolu in this ep.....he might get it later though (hint hint)

 

[Shedinjareese]

Hmm if he gets Riolu now/soon it WOULD add a sense of freshness to the storyline, due to Riolu's moodiness. It might shove Pikachu in the background a little. Is that cheering I hear?

 

[amarj3]

only read this if you are desperate to find out about riolu

Spoiler:

ash wont be getting riolu now but he may be in d and p ep 108 we will find out on nov 25th when jap ep airs but someone is getting a riolu egg either ash, dawn or brock....
there is a goos chance it may hatch near when ash chimchar evolves

I very much enjoyed this episode of Pokemon DP. I don't know, but it seemed like a breathe of fresh air compared to the other recent episodes. The story behind Riolu was great in my view; they handled that very well. The Pokemon Ranger (I have forgotten his name, care to remind me?) was a good addition; made me more interested in the next episode to come.

I personally hope Dawn gets the egg; I would love to see Ash being jealous that Dawn got a powerful Pokemon.

The reason is unknown. Seeing that companies such as VIZ and FUNimation can dub 100+ of Japanese animé and keep all the music is beyond me. Especially when PUSA surely makes more money than them with their games and everything.

I was actually referring to the episode plot/thrilling-wise, but good pointer though.

And maybe Ash could get a Riolu or another super-rare pokemon that's close to being a legendary.
