Brock & Misty To Make Anime Comeback

Anime fans rejoice! After several years of absence Brock and Misty are making a (brief) return to the Pokémon anime!

Monthly Japanese manga magazine, Televi-Kun, has confirmed in their latest issue that on September 14th and 21st the original trio will be reuniting for two special episodes! In the episodes Ash & Pikachu will briefly return to Kanto, where the long time friends will battle it out! Misty is confirmed to have Mega Gyarados on her team, while Brock will have a Mega Steelix.

Who else is excited to see these guys back together and revel in some 90’s nostalgia? Any predictions for the rest of their Sun & Moon anime teams?

  1. I was just thinking, with hints in the USUM trailer showing a place that looks really similar to Lt. Surge’s gym, and now Ash from Alola going back to Kanto meeting with Brock and Misty – this is a really odd time for Ash to be going back suddenly… Could this be like an indirect anime reveal that we can travel to Kanto?

    • I don’t think we’ll be returning to Kanto, but with the reveal of the Vermillion City gym copycat Kanto will definitely have a much bigger presence in Alola. That “gym” specifically is probably some kindof special building that mimics past gyms for the sake of nostalgia.

  2. NOOOOO WAAAAY! BROOOOOOOCK! I never would’ve thought this would happen. I remember being so sad when it was announced that Brock won’t return for Unova. I’m loving this soooooo much.

    • Yeah their are certain pokemon that the games don’t do justice. I’d like to think he still has wings tucked away in there somewhere. One of the main reasons I watch the anime is to see how certain pokemon move.

  3. Really happy the original trio get reunited.
    So bascially I have lots of catching up to do.
    I got to beggining of Sinnoh saga, which id like to finish then BW, XY and now SunMoon.

    But nowadays I’m super busy.
    So im thinking of watching last 15 eps or so of Sinnoh and Unova and jumping straight to Kalos.
    Coz it feels like ill never get to SM at this rate.

    Thoughts?

      • Hmm I know the Sinnoh saga is meant to be one of best but it’s too long and ive lost my rythm with anime. Like back in the days I’d watch 3 episodes a night.
        Also SM looks awesome part of the reason why I wanna jump to Kalos!

        Reply
        • Sinnoh and Kalos are objectively leagues above all the other sagas. Sumo isn’t my taste, but from what I’ve seen it’s better than os and bw.

        • That’s what I believe, it just seem a bit coincidental for them to all of sudden have ash go back and hey looks who here in kanto brock and misty lol. Like they weren’t in kanto this entire time everytime ash comes back home, well maybe not brock but definetly misty, they think people dum lol

    • It’s the 20th anniversary of the anime. They prolly wanted to play the nostalgia card up a little. Ultimately it doesn’t matter what they wear. It was unlikely they were actually gonna have brand new clothes anyway.

      Reply
      • I guess that true. But they could of kept the clothes they were last seen wearing especially brock from what he wore in dp series.but I buy it it must be nostalgia

  4. Yeah I’m excited for this. I hope they have good reason to be there and it’s at least a 2 episode thing so they can have Ash battle each of them over each episode. Although apart from Lycanroc and Pikachu does Ash have anything remotely strong enough with him to battle their Megas with? I am also in two minds as to the fact that they both have Megas, whilst it is cool it also makes it seem like an easy thing to just go and get which it’s not meant to be, at least in the anime. I hope both are shown finding their Mega Stones and how they Mega Evolved for the first time. It’s almost a shame that this wasn’t the reveal of Mega Psyduck…

    Reply
    • Brock and Misty having megas doesn’t make it easy at all. Don’t forget both are gym leaders and very competent trainers as well. They’ve been away since Sinnoh/Hoenn so they had plenty of time to acquire the power of mega evolution! xD

      Reply
      • Yeah but it seems like a big coincidence they both happen to get them and for their Ace Pokemon too. This is why I want to see how they obtained them.

  5. YAAAASSS. I wish it was for more than a couple of episodes, but I’m SOOO happy that Brock and Misty are gonna come back even just for a single episode each. I really hope they don’t completely recast for the English dub. If they can at least get the last people who played them back then I’ll be happy. (that said if they got their original VAs then I’d be SUPER happy lol) Anyway I find it interesting that Ash and Co. are going to Kanto. I wonder if they’ll have anyone catch a normal Kanto Pokemon and then compare it to one of the Alolan forms. Maybe a new Alolan form will be revealed by then? I’m trying not to get my hopes up that Brock and Misty will be all like “Hey Ash you’re going back to Alola? We’re coming too!!” I’d love that! Too bad it won’t happen….Anyway it’s strange they both have mega Pokemon. Well I guess not THAT strange. Megas still exist outside of Alola (technically in too tho) so it makes sense people would still be getting their hands on the stones. Funny thing is I’m already seeing people saying this is a clear sign we’ll be heading back to Kanto in USUM. They’re getting their own hopes up for nothing XP

  6. I just put this together…. Ash is meeting his old Pokémon
    Brock and Misty have Megas
    Maybe… ash will get a brand new Mega?

      • To a lesser extent and legal one that is. I was playing someone using a swagger sub Klefki which was highly annoying.
        Fortunately it didn’t work out for him tho!

        Reply
        • Yeah, it’s purely luck based strategy, sometimes it works out, sometimes not so much. But I’d rather not deal with it in all honesty.

          I used to quit games after failing to attack due to confusion three times, cos I couldn’t be asked to deal with it.

          Reply
        • I wasn’t lucky this time…
          Pretty much got nothing but good Moody buffs and basically avoided sweet punishment
          I mean I was using my Fighting Mono and all I had to deal with was
          3 Smegles, Sunkern, Xerneas, and a Mega Ray

          If I could’ve Bullet Seeded the Smeragles and take them out it was just a matter of time that I wore down Rayquaza or my Pangoro would’ve easily beat Xerneas because they are mentally incapable of not running Geomancy and I’d Gunk Shot them into a Bullet Punch easy peazy

          But hax and luck was systematically on his side

          • None of my Pokemon have access to Aura Sphere since this was my personal favorites
            Emboar, Heracross, Pangoro, Kommo-o, Breloom and Throh

            This team pretty much brute forces its way with the occasional Breloom savagery

          • My guess was a big “let me Baton Pass every known buff in existence just so you can be killed by the weakest Pokemon in existence” ploy but I already lost by the time he had 3 evasion boosts and wasn’t gonna let him humiliate me any further

  7. I honestly can’t remember a time when I was THIS excited about the anime hahahaha Gonna try and not get my hopes up for too much craziness, but just the idea of Ash finally seeing his old friends again gives me goosebumps. I hope the second episode ends with all 3 of them taking out Team Rocket and sending them blasting off. That would really tickle my fancy. The only thing that would be better is if they came back to Alola with Ash, but unfortunately I don’t see that happening……

    • Presumably the Japanese VAs will definitely come back. They’re pretty good at keeping characters voices with single people unless someone dies. I’m hoping they get the originals for the English dub, but I would settle for the second set of ones they had last. I just don’t want to have them be voiced by some completely different people yet again this time around. There doesn’t need a 3rd set of VAs. Just bring back the ones from AG and DP and that’ll be fine.

  8. Just trying to picture Kiawe and Brock interacting with each other. They’re both kind of the big brother figures of the group so it’ll be funny to see. Same with Mallow and Misty. The 4 of them share more or less the same spot in their respective groups lol

  10. To all you Persona fans here, there’s a YouTuber named Shenpai currently marathoning Persona 4 Golden on Twitch. She started a few days ago, but it didn’t really occur to me to tell any of you in case you’re interested.

  11. So I suppose I was half right about a Direct being this week? If anything, the Nindies Showcase is more of a confirmation that a full Direct is on the way – they have to get the bulky stuff out first!
