Summary for next week:
June 6th: PM2023 098 - Cercle Town, Site of Reunions!
Liko and the others successfully reunite with Murdock in Cercle Town, but when they tell him that they have reformed the Rising Volt Tacklers and are investigating Rakulium, he gets really worried... Just then, Gym Leader Kaede proposes... a Pokémon battle between her and Liko?!
This episode is definitely going to get a super high Nicolive rating unless they royally fuck it up, people have been wanting a Dot episode for ages.
That's such a perfectly timed loop.
That's one psychotic looking Nanjamo.
I like how they have to zoom in on the duck's face just to make extra sure we understood what they were referring to.
next week was secretly a Liko episode
Nice
Liko is going to defeat Kaede and show Murdock that she's worthy of marrying Dot.
Why is it called Cercle Town anyway? Is it supposed to mean circle?
It's French for circle, but Japanese also uses it as a loan word to mean pastry ring. All the cities in Paldea are named after stuff you find in a kitchen.
Oh, that's interesting.
The guy that welcomes you to the town actually has the following dialogue:
This is Cercle Town. Cercles are also called circles! They have the same shape an olive has, you know!
So while is right, the "cercle = circle" meaning is pushed to the forefront as well.
Yeah, all the highest rated episodes are Dot episodes.
Slaps a heart accessory in
She likes Dot that much?
How about Hakko City?
Dotto-shi, do me a favor and help me out with something in my bedroom!
Hakko can mean fermentation, which is the kitchen connection, but it also has a couple other relevant meanings.
The city's equivalent to this guy says
The "Hakko" in Hakko City, is that 発行 (meaning publication)? 発酵 (meaning fermentation)? Since the city is said to have a 1 million volt nightscape, maybe it's 発光 (meaning luminescence)?
Cat runback?
Nips make the most complex puns.
It's on the nose honestly.
I think it's pretty clever.
Maidot and... mailiko
Any ideas for when Nemo will come around?
I assume episode after next, but we'll know either way by either tuesday or thursday.
My guess is episode 99, it makes sense for Orange Academy to be the group's next stop
Depends on what she currently does.
She's presumably still at Orange Academy since the OP shows her in its uniform.
Where is Xavier?
