What's in the egg? [Possible spoiler warning]

676: The Wild Child That Hatched From The Egg.
^The new title in which the egg hatches. So guys let's be honest now; WILD CHILD. Zurrugu is based on a punk rocker+ a Snake+ an 80s hip hop fan I mean...come on now
 
After seeing the preview for the future episodes in the series, I'm beginning to think that it will be Kurumiru. It definitely seemed like it was acting pretty wild, riding Bambi and whatnot. It looks like Ash will have some reserves just like he did in Kanto. Yay.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, they wouldn't have tried to be so secretive about the egg if they were just going to show Kurimuru anyways. I'm going to stick with Zuruggu and the croc.

I mean like, isn't that an episode right after the egg one though? Also it was being dragged not riding XD. And yeah, definitely gonna have some reserves.


Can I ask a question that's a bit offtopic; not to fanwank or anything...but why, with all the cool new Pokemon, would the writers give Ash Kurimiru? I mean like give it to Dentou (it's evo is as fabulous as he is XD), Iris (her whole Cutness proximity thing), or wait and let Belle show up with one later. Why Kurimiru from an egg? I mean that's like setting up a ton of fans for disappointment.

That's what I was thinking when this was brought up, off all pokemon why give him something he can easily come across in a forest. Seems like a waste to give him Kurumiru.
 
I really dont care about the full team thing, as I want him to dump the other starters. Starters are so overused and overrated. Unless they're evolved.

I'm pretty sure the Zuruggu is Iris's and the Meguroco is the sunglasses one, as it has been following them. And Kurumiru is unlikely. I hope its something unpredictable. Like a Meraruba. My god, that would kick ass. also a reference to the ingame Meraruba egg.
 
Eggs Ash has recieved have always hatched into something special.
Phanpy egg- Wasn't that special but I guess it's a little rare.
Larvitar egg- Only 'owned' it for some episodes, but it's pretty rare.
Togepi egg- Never really owned it, but it was still pretty rare.
New egg from Daycare- Possible: Meguroco, Zuruggu
I don't think it's Kurumiru because it seems just a bit common too me and even though it's pokedex data shows that it makes it's clothes by itself, I think if it was a Lurumiru egg, it would hatch with it's cloak on.
Also, probably not Meguroco because I'm pretty sure Ash gets the sunglasses Meguroco.
So, my guess is Zuruggu, because it seems a bit more special to me. I also think it will grow a bond with Iris, and Ash might trade, or the whole Who It Sees first thing.
 
At this point I don't really care what hatches with the egg, my issue is if he's just gonna give the pokemon to Iris what was the point of giving him an egg in the first place? Wasn't a fan of the first time this scenario played out. :/
 
Well, in further analysis, it'll either be that pants guy or the bug...

One thing's for sure, Ash is getting the bug, whether or not it's from the egg... really who knows >__>

what I don't get is why the writers wanted to unleash such a mindscrew with the color of the egg >__<

Pants guy? I am guessing the Dark/Fighting Zuruggu? I don't remember if it is mentioned in this topic but, there is mention some where that that already have a toy for "Ash Kurumiru" so if this holds true it seems we will find out soon enough with either it's capture in the Arti episode or the hatching of the Egg. I am sure the writers did it so it would drum up speculation, which would get a bunch of people watching. That would translate to high ratings for BW017.
 
From the spoiler of the egg hatching it doesn't look like a Meguroco. From the preview I'll say
*Ash catches sunglasses Meguroco
*Egg Hatches into Zuruggu
*Egg goes to Iris for whatever reason
*Ash then in BW018 will met a wild Kurumiru and Arty
*Maybe Ash will catch it

Some people, even when the answer is obvious or clearly by the vast majority were not sufficient evidence to believe that until they see it in person. I think the reason why people are still guessing this is due to the appearance Meguroco sunglasses. Prior to this, seems to stretch, the eggs instead Meguroco Zuruggu. In both cases, turned out to be an interesting result. At the end of the day of fly ash is Meguroco sunglasses IMO or the egg.
 
An Arceus, and then ASh will rule the world....nah just kidding, i want a meguroko!! but maybe and I think it's gonna be a zuruggu
 
Can I ask a question? Why do people think kurimiru is what will hatch from the egg...when there is an episode after dedicated to a Kurimiru that seems like Ash will catch it/bond with it? I mean that makes the implication Ash either hasn't caught after hatching it...or he doesn't know how to use the return mechanism on a pokeball from the Shikijika it's caught on..

Also another piece of evidence against it being Kurimiru; the previews and episode titles are desperately trying to keep whatever is in the egg a secret, so why would they reveal the pokemon in another title and preview? One could argue yes, hiding something in plain sight and creating a red herring of sorts...but conversely it seems rather pointless.

Again, I pose Ash will capture Kurimiru, he's catch SG Sandile, and Zurrugu will hatch from the egg.

My guess is people think it is because Ash shows a dedication to get it back from Shikijika when it is tangled in the thread on it's back. I don't know how committed he would be if it was a wild Kurumiru instead of his own. I personally don't see the coloration in the egg to Kurumiru. He wasn't able to return Metapod from Beedrill properly, so it's probably something like that, that is if Ash captured it already. I agree with the situation posed in your last sentence, that is the scenario I think is best fit as on now.
 
Ash's egg is primarily tan with brown markings.

Sandile is primarily tan with brown markings.

Zuruggu is mostly yellow with red highlights and a very light cream-colored body.

So Zuruggu's colors match the egg how again? More importantly, who really wants to see Ash give up another egg to a female companion again? It was terrible enough when they gave Togepi to Misty (she was the one who deserved it least), and I think Iris deserves to get to catch a wild Pokemon now that both Ash and Dento have gotten at least one.

Seriously, the anime may not be logical with real life, but it's usually consistent with itself. There's really no argument here.
 
I hope he catches Kurimiru.

And also catched Megurocco.

And then Zuruggu hatches from the egg.

He would have a very nice rotation then, and maybe he will actually catch a psychic type this time around.

Two words: Sunglasses Sandile

The logic is more towards: We have a reocurring Sandile, so what's the point of the writers bringing in a new one when we have a perfectly good one who seems to be following the cast. It's like Ash's Aipom when she first caught; would it make more sense for the pokemon following the cast to join? Or havea completely new one that is the same species join?

Yes Zurrugu doesn't have the coloring but Iris/Ash/Dent has to get it before 20. Yes, 19 hasn't been revealed yet but honestly it makes more sense.

Also, remember BW0017 is called "The Wild Child/Ruffian/Punk/whatever that hatched from the egg." I mean Zurrugu and Zuruzukin (moreso with Zuruzukin AKA the SCOUNDREL pokemon) are based on 1980s/90s Punk Rock and Hip hop youth culture. I mean it makes sense for one of them to hatch from the egg.

As for the actual egg, I mean honestly it doesn't look that much like a Kurimiru egg either. The spots kind of throw it off.

Now as for Kenshin's reply:

Alright, I can accept that, but still it doesn't make sense to try to hide the egg then reveal it. Yeah, again could just be hiding in plain site, but then again Ash is always willing to help a Pokemon no matter what. Hell, look at like 90%+ of his catches; I mean maybe he catches it to save it. Maybe, Kurimiru is a moron and decided he wanted to follow Ash as payment XD. I'm sorry guys, I'm just really againsty Kurimiru for Ash, I mean anyone else sure...but giving him a worm that then evlves into a grumpy bagworm, then a fashion model mantis just is weird to me with Ash. I mean to me that's like giving him a Gothiselle or Doredia; cool Pokemon but just don't fit him.
 
I agree that Episode 18 is a Red Herring. The whole releasing info on that in the next episode diverting attention from the hatching of the new pokemon. Episode 17 is titled "The Wild Child that hatched From The Egg", it seems almost forgone that Wild Child is alluding to Punkish pokemon as Punk represents wildness/rebellion. Then we have Sandile who conveniently appeared in Episode 12 and challenged Ash and Pikachu. After that meeting it threw a wrench into that idea that Sandile would be the egg(at least for me). Now they add a third into the mix Kirururu, maybe they are trying to add more to speculation on? In the end it seems Ash gets Sandile and Kirururu with Iris getting Zuruggu. If Ash does indeed get both, then this leads to another question who will it be that gettings Oak'ed and for how long? Then another question may arrive, which is will Ash have a revolving rotation and will he capture a good deal in this Saga since already caught six already(pending it goes down like I mentioned above).

So what about the recurring Sandile? They already had Oshawott follow Ash around before he caught it, having it happen again is too much of a cheap cop-out plotwise, even for the Pokemon writers. Besides, there are plenty of times members of Ash's team have had counterparts of their evolutionary families appear- Ash's Gligar and Paul's Gliscor, his Torterra and Paul's, his Bulbasaur/Squirtle and May's, his Cyndaquil/Quilava and Dawn's...

...anyway, there's a lot of other ways Ash could get a Sandile than just "catching what's following him," and seeing what the writers have done with Team Rocket this season I have high hopes for them being able to do something more unique.

"Ruffian" could describe Dark-type Pokemon of any species pretty well, and let's not forget that the BW020 art shows Sandile clinging to Ash's leg, which seems like something a young child would do with its parent, and certainly contrary to the tough, reckless one we've seen so far. (incidentally, has the title been totally confirmed? It wouldn't be the first time we took fake names as real...)

I think that the sunglasses Sandile has more to come in the plot, and that it's related to the one Ash will get in some way. I just don't think they're the same one, and it's an awesome enough species to get away with two members of it in the series.
