Also, a lot of those lines (Shroomish, Azurill, Larvesta, Axew) are already obtainable via Mystery Egg.

I'm aware, still doesn't discount the fact they're all gonna be available in one file at some point, and thus, available (in a 100% of the time way) during the main story. 

[We Will Be Arriving At Our Destination Shortly]

Alright guys it's time for my 3rd? 4th? episodal ranting about the obtainable list a week or so before it comes out

 

What're y'all thinking the last 6 lines are gonna be? This is what we don't have, right now.

 

Gastly (maybe not desert-y but could be in one of the places like Mirage Tower or sugiline cave?)
Scyther
Magikarp - End of Thief Side-quest >:) ??
Dratini - Fishing in the Rock Climb spot of Aventurine Mt. ??
Larvitar (I suppose this guy could also be found in the rock climb spot under tanzan)
Skarmory
Torchic
Shroomish
Azurill
Bagon - See larvitar, maaaybe?
Gible
Snivy
Ferroseed
Axew - Probably in those caves under route 3, requiring rock climb ??
Vullaby
Larvesta 
Deino -- 3 Pieces of Dark Matter (we have 2, last one is rock climb) ??
Froakie
Fletchling
Honedge
All of Gen 7

 

I would think, logically we'd get Rock Climb this episode, it would be a logical way to bridge the large-ish number of lines we still have, especially since most of these guys I can't picture in the desert (texted orange) but absolutely could be in the other places in the region requiring Rock Climb. I suppose Deino, Axew, Dratini, and three more could be the ONLY things requiring RC and everything else is obtainable otherwise, but I guess we'll see. 

 

Though I think most of Gen 7 is gonna get in this episode, maaaaybe Kommo'o won't?? It's one of the worst pseudos and we have Beldum so I think it likely will make the cut, but who knows.

 

I would think the trend of holding off mons like A-Marowak might continue, but I doubt that would matter since there's definitely at least 6 lines better than it. Plus, if we have ONE way to evolve the other Alola Mon's and we have Cubone already, it would be unlikely.

Yessss I love it. Love the Absol detail, the train ticket thing, the answer to the death of the other protags , all of it.

I wonder if the branched story has anything to do with

Which of the three renovation projects you decided to fund.

 

Doubt it. My guess is something to do with...

Meteor goes to the desert to get the bracelets from Titania, Titania thinks she's ez win, until they reveal captive Amaria or something to that effect. Choose which of them to save, get the badge for one earlier than the other.

 

Seven areas matches up with 5+ (I cant see the map because it's deleted but I think so?) areas on the handdrawn map from way back when, so this looks like the desert exploration episode, perhaps +1 or 2 areas.
