    They can't do that, again, they won't XD


    Right? .____o

    Jessie releasing Dustox so it could breed... Team Rocket splitting up but getting back together... Pokeringer... Piplup not wanting to evolve...

    I don't know, sounds like they are beginning to copy old plotlines.

    The next thing you know is that Ash will probably evolve his future Monferno into an Infernape and then keep it at a valley full of Infernapes. >_>

    A bad move since they gave Ambipom so many accomplishments so far:

    With Ash: Jubilife Contest, battling in the Oreburgh Gym, winning at the Eterna Gym, and winning in an Unofficial Contest with Jessie.

    With Dawn: Used but failed at the Solaceon Contest Appeal Rounds, used in the Veilstone Gym a great Appeal at the Wallace Cup, winning at the Celestic Contest, and then the Tatsuami Contest(which we have yet to know the results).

    Primeape: Just the boxing competition, that was understandable but for Ambipom, hell no!

    If they do this, I will be very angry & like previous posters said, all that time with Ash & Dawn. Then the Cherubi Episode airs right after too, give me a break.

    As for the Monferno thing, trust me, that isn't going to happen. It's Sinnoh, not Kanto, Ash went berserk on catching Pokemon in Kanto but settled down a bit in the rest of the regions. I doubt Monferno will disobey Ash, whether or not you guys were being serious about your post.

    Just PLEASE, don't let Ambipom go!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I agree, if Dawn let Ambipom go it would just plain suck.

    I'm just telling you guys what I read at Bulbapedia (or at least until when down). It said that Ambipom's page was locked because it might be leaving in the episode of the Ping Pong tourny. Hopefully that was just another April Fool's joke, but we won't know for sure until Bulbapedia is back up.

    April Fools is the ultimate excuse isn't it. We knew about the ping pong episode before then and Ambipom speculation is based on tidbits of info.

    April Fools is on April 1st, not the 4th.

    I hate when they lock pages, it just baffles me. I hope they are wrong like we were with the future captures so far recently. I like Ambipom a lot & there is no need to give it away, if anything, it should go back to Ash, other than that, any other thing would be pointless & a bad call.

    I think that they should make an episode where one of Ash's old pokemon that he freed in the 1st saga Buterfree,Pidgeot or Primeape returns and they battle together in some kind of tournament.And they should stop coping old plots.

    Some Repeating Plots are necessary, to enforce something, like Pikachu choosing not to evolve into Raichu and same goes for Piplup. At least we saw Piplup nearly evolve. Some Repeating Plots are acceptable while some aren't.

    Pokemon is based on a video game, not manga, it has to repeat plots.

    If only it had been based in the manga :/

    I don't mind them repeating filler plots, but IMO using again some of the few important plots they have is simply weird.
    It's not like they've done everything already in terms of important plot points.

    They repeat filler plots for about every filler episode! Here's the formula:

    Ash and co. are on their way to the next Gym/Pokemon Contest when they meet a new wild Pokemon/a trainer with a new Pokemon who has a problem. Team Rocket then plots a way to steal that new Pokemon (coming up with several nonsensical ways Giovanni could use the Pokemon) and sometimes even Pikachu. After Ash and co. initially try helping the pokemon/trainer, Team Rocket appears in a robot/new Meowth Balloon attachment and captures the new Pokemon (and sometimes Pikachu). Team Rocket gets away for a little while but either did something that allows them to be tract/Ash sends his bird Pokemon to find them. Once they do find Team Rocket they battle, free the capture Pokemon, blast off Team Rocket, and somehow that fixes the problem the pokemon/trainer was having. They all then wave goodbye and continue to the next Gym/Pokemon Contest.

    Well everyone, the Cherubi episode (among others) has been submitted to TV.com, and apparently, Dawn won't be getting the Cherubi as it belongs to another trainer. Of course, if the trainer releases the Cherubi, I suppose Dawn could still catch it... The only reason I'm saying this is because, judging from the synopsis, it doesn't sound like the trainer and the Cherubi are truly friends, if you get my drift. I'm probably wrong, but you never know... Anyway, if Dawn doesn't get Cherubi in that episode, I find it kind of unlikely that she'll ever get one.

    Well if Cherubi and the trainer don't seem to be friends, then there is a good chance that the trainer will release Cherubi, which means Dawn very well might get it. After all, this wouldnt be the first time that a trainer captured a Pokemon immediately after it was released by another trainer. Remember when Ash and Paul were fighting side by side in the Tag Team Tournament arc on the gang's first visit to Hearthome City? Paul released his Chimchar and Ash captured it almost immediately afterwards. And it says on Bulbapedia that the Cherubi trainer refused to command her Cherubi, which is very similar to Paul refusing to command his Chimchar during the tag battle with Ash during which he released it. And the episode guide at Bulbapedia also says that Dawn is angered by the Cherubi trainer's style in the same way that Ash is angered by Paul's style. Plus, there is speculation that Dawn's Ambipom will leave in the Ping-Pong episode, which would give her more room in her party for the Cherubi. So based on all of this information, I'd say there's a decent chance that Dawn will indeed obtain a Cherubi.

    She already has room in her party she has five that's room for one more. She doesn't have to release any. I hope she doesn't.

    Yes, but out of Brock/Tracey, Ash, Misty/May(and if keeping tradition, Dawn), Ash is the only one to ever have 6 Pokemon, Tracey had like what, 3 or 4? Brock has 3, and Misty/May had just shy of 6 Pokemon on their team, so to keep up with that tradition, they wouldn't fill the 6th spot on Dawn's team
