Oh.
Oh!
Satoshi might catch Passimian? Illima might actually make an appearance? New episode titles leaked, shared by Dephender on Serebii.Net forums (update, summaries have been translated):
March 1st: SM64 - Satoshi and Nagetukesaru! A Touchdown of Friendship!!
Satoshi had gone to the marketplace to shop when he ran into a group of the “Teamwork Pokémon” Nagetukesaru. It appears that groups of Nagetukesaru living on different islands have started arguing, and are now fighting over who will be the boss of all the flocks. The group Satoshi met lives on one of the islands that lost, and when he looks at them, he feels he can’t just ignore them, so he does his best to cheer them on.
March 8th: SM65 - Ilima and Eievui Have Ilimade Their Entrance!!
Satoshi and his friends were doing battle practice at the Pokémon School when the graduate student Ilima came visiting. Mao and the others know who he is, and explain that he is the greatest prodigy that has ever attended the school, one that left behind numerous legends of his prowess. Satoshi and the others go to see Ilima and check if the legends are true, but…
I had to google Nagetukesaru and it’s Passimian’s japanese name. (Oddly google gives me Satoshi Gekkouga Figurine as a result too lol Google, don’t fool me) The summary for this episode is so Satoshi thou. The title gives me the hope for catching one of them but who knows?
Illima having Eevee sounds like a fitting choice due to Eevee being normal type, and having lots of potential. He could showcase the Eeveenium-z as well! And the summary is very Illima. Graduate makes sense for him not being in Pokemon School anymore!
Either way, let’s hope these are very real titles and we’ll indeed finally have Illima appear ;D And Passimian caught! It’s very real!
