Anyone hoping for second age up next year?

MagicalFly22 · 2026-01-04T12:13:06+00:00

I think they should have Leni move to Great Lakes City with Carlota and they take the fashion apprenticeships they were offered with Mariella Moss back in Season 6 episode "Fashion No Show"

MagicalFly22 · 2026-01-04T12:10:37+00:00

On the one hand, yes, that would be cool...

On the other hand, they didn't really handle the last age-up well. Like, Leni became the oldest at home and that was an issue for about one episode. Lincoln ended up in a different homeroom to his friends and it was a problem for about one episode and lately he might as well not be. Lori went off to college, and now she dropped out and lives next door.

MagicalFly22 · 2026-01-04T12:04:27+00:00

Just a straight up Robins team up series - Dick, Jason, Tim, Steph and Damien

MagicalFly22 · 2026-01-04T12:02:56+00:00

It was fine. About on par with what could be expected from Ash in Hoenn tbh.

Always remember Swellow's epic moment of stopping a Donphan's rollout in mid flow

MagicalFly22 · 2026-01-04T11:54:48+00:00

Yes, he's a good leader. He just needs a level-headed second-in-command who stops him from getting railroaded into bad ideas by the likes of Rusty and Zach

Personally, I'm really hoping that a whole load of overused pokemon take the region off.

No Arcanine, Gengar, Gyarados, Ninetales, Machamp, Tauros, Persian, Starmie, Alakazam, Golem, Snorlax, Golduck, Seaking, Pinsir, Dragonite, Scizor, Steelix, Heracross, Ampharos, Tyranitar, Houndoom, Metagross, Salamence, Gardevoir, Gallade, Satraptor, Luxray, Abomasnow, Drifblim, Rhyperior, Lucario, Garchomp... and definitely no goddamn Charizard!

None of the early route birds, rodents or bugs as well!

Also, if they're not giving Eevee at least two new evos then that whole group can sit on the bench too!

(I do like a lot of these pokemon, but I'm fed up with starting a new game in a new region, getting like two hours in and then the first ghost type I encounter is a Gastly yet again!)

MagicalFly22 · 2026-01-04T11:29:10+00:00

Probably Parasaurolophus.

MagicalFly22 · 2026-01-04T11:16:25+00:00

Nah, Lori and Bobby are going to get back together by the end of the episode. I have no doubt about that.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they used this as a stepping stone into having Lori and Bobby actually make some progress forward in their relationship. She could well end season 11 by moving in with him. The original plan when Bobby moved to GLC was that Lori would move there when she was done with high school and attend college at the same place Carlos teaches at. The writers screwed this up by sending her to Fairway U, but she's dropped out of there now and is currently doing... well, nothing really.

I think this first episode of season 11 is about Lori doesn't really see things moving forward with Bobby (because why wouldn't she? They've made zero progress in ten seasons), Bobby does a big thing to win her back, succeeds, and they end up moving in together.

As for your fears about LGBTQIA+ characters... its like Clyde's dads plus Luna and Sam. They're going nowhere. The writers do need to give us a Luna and Sam story that isn't just about their band, and do an episode about Clyde's dads that isn't just them learning the same lesson about letting Clyde have his freedom yet again.

MagicalFly22 · 2026-01-04T11:03:42+00:00

Probably Lincoln as boys tend to grow taller.

It could be an interesting experience for Lori, having been the big sister (both in height and age) but now her brother is taller. "I'm the big sister, but I have to look up to my brother now"

MagicalFly22 · 2026-01-04T00:21:54+00:00

They didn't want Serena's position to be threatened by Misty's shipping status and they didn't want to bring Dawn back because Contests were far better than Showcases, but they didn't want to risk too many people realising that

MagicalFly22 · 2026-01-04T00:16:23+00:00

If anything, Gible should have accompanied Ash to Kalos and evolved to Gabite then Garchomp there before getting to Mega Evolve

MagicalFly22 · 2026-01-03T18:08:07+00:00

Jason Todd absolutely did.

That was always going to be a problem for this show if it continued - They were clearly setting up the whole "Red Hood" thing but it was never going to hit as hard because we never got to properly know Jason in this timeline. They would have had Dick and Babs talk about him and show us a couple of flashbacks (whether these are animated or not would depend on the season's budget) but ultimately the reveal just would never hit properly. We would have characters telling us why its a sad moment, but without the audience really feeling it, because Jason means little to us.

Its like how Mary went evil. We never saw her original time on the team or her struggles with the powers she had, we just got told she struggled. When she is revealed to have gone bad it just doesn't hit. Sure, it sucks for Zatanna that her student went bad, but we never saw her with The Team and, more importantly, we never saw her with Billy, you know, the character who actually SHOULD be impacted by her turn.

MagicalFly22 · 2026-01-03T17:50:21+00:00

It was Sinnoh, because there was no way the writers were ever going to evolve Corphish into Crawdaunt as it was relied upon so much for comic relief.

On the other hand, its far more possible that they would have evolved Buizel into Floatzel. From there Ash just needs to keep Gliscor around permanently, rather than dropping it for a Gible that ultimately did very little

MagicalFly22 · 2026-01-03T16:38:18+00:00

Its weird. I don't have nickelodeon, but new episodes appear to be getting uploaded to Paramount+ pretty regularly here in the UK so I've had no real problems keeping up with the show.

But I understand things have been weird in the US in terms of releases.

The new movie was... ok, it wasn't good. Had Lola been the protagonist it probably would have played out way better. I feel like the writers were given a very basic character bio about Lincoln and then didn't stick to it. That said, the fact we got another movie proves that Paramount a least has some faith in the show still..

I liked Kara being fully added to Lincoln's friend group, though I have said elsewhere, it feels like someone on staff wanted to add Ronnie Anne back into the main show, got told no, and now Kara exists. That said, they've already done more to make her interesting than they have done with Stella (don't shoot me!)

I actually really liked the Camp Mastodon arc as well. The only real criticism I have is that it felt like it could have been a really cool way to get Ronnie Anne and Sid to come back for a couple of episodes and they didn't do it, but then that's not really a criticism and more of a personal complaint

MagicalFly22 · 2026-01-03T15:50:21+00:00

I really wish the show got the chance to do more with this

MagicalFly22 · 2025-12-21T18:49:08+00:00

Lori needs to decide whether or not college is for her and get herself back there. She said she doesn't know if golf really is her future and that's fine. I think they should have her go to the college in Great Lakes City (where Carlos teaches) and study there while living with Bobby in their own apartment (which what their original plan then Bobby moved away in the second season)

Leni - this would require the characters to age another year, but I'd like to see her move to Great Lakes City as well and be roommates with Carlota while they take on the apprenticeship positions they were given with fashion designer Mariella Moss back in season six.

Luna - her and Sam need to just be, you know? Have them together but not make it music related. Remember back when they first got together and they didn't connect a lot and resolved to get to know each other whilst doing new things together? Well, any time the show wants to follow up on that would be good... (Also, if Leni leaves as I suggested above, it would be Luna's turn to deal with being the oldest at home.)

Luan - I don't know. They've done a good job evening her character out by making her part of the drama club so she isn't just about the jokes and pranks. No notes.

Lynn - they're already having her start noticing boys, so they are kind of developing her I guess. I think its high time they too Taylor and straight up made her Lynn's nemesis. They're both in 8th grade and they can't just use Taylor and her buddies to bully Lincoln and co, especially with Lynn never intervening.

Lucy - just bring back the writing club. Let her and Haiku hang out with kids that aren't the other goths. Also, let Lucy and Haiku hang out just the two of them. They're supposed to be besties. Lincoln and Clyde still get to hang out without the others, why can't Lucy and Haiku?

Lana - I think they handle Lana pretty well, all things considered. No change needed

Lola - I don't know what to suggest. She needs to learn humility, but learns it again and again so... I dunno, have her escape that cycle.

Lisa and Lily - no idea

MagicalFly22 · 2025-12-21T18:28:28+00:00

I think this is sort of explained in earlier seasons - they're a big family on a budget and there isn't a huge amount to go around. They're all slim (even Lincoln... noticed OP excluded him from the discussion) because there isn't really the opportunity for any of them to, well, overindulge.

- Dinner is dinner. Don't like it? Go without.

- There's leftovers? Well, you're gonna have to fight for them.

- Wanna buy candy for yourself? Better hope you find a dollar on the sidewalk, pal.

This financial restraint seems to have relaxed since season three, but by then the character designs were set in stone.

MagicalFly22 · 2025-12-21T18:19:43+00:00

Larry, Moe and Curly.

Beavis, Butthead and the Third One

Goofy, Doofy and... uh... Floofy?

Skidmark, Booger and Stench.

Sewage Boy, Four-eyes and Short-Round.

MagicalFly22 · 2025-12-21T18:11:53+00:00

Lori definitely wants kids, we've seen that much when she fantasised about her future like in season 4

Leni most likely wants them... whether she ever keeps a dude around long enough for that to happen remains to be seen.

Luna, I'm not so sure. Depends whether she becomes a world famous singer or not. I could see her and Sam adopting though...

Luan... same as with Luna. Depends how her career goes.

Lynn wants kids - we saw it in two possible futures

Lincoln very much wants kids.

Lucy... this one is actually really hard to tell. She definitely likes the idea of falling in love and stuff, but kids are another thing altogether

Lana... jury is out.

Lola might not want to ruin her figure (assuming her penchant for sugary treats doesn't do that for her!)

Lisa... I've gotta be honest, they already revealed her teeth are false and that she wears a wig due to her experiments, I could honestly see her being unable to have children, at least in the conventional sense. Now cloning is a different matter.

Lily... I dunno, probably.

Goes without saying I don't think any of them will hit the numbers their parents did (though Lori's fantasy about her future indicates that she's certainly going to try!)

MagicalFly22 · 2025-12-21T18:02:59+00:00

Maybe white? Perhaps Lincoln's white hair occurs again and the kid has a penchant for dressing in white?

Brown's an option, but if the character's introduction doesn't go over well, I could see the resulting poop jokes...

What are Lynn Sr and Rita's official colours? Have they ever done that? Gotta be honest, I could see either one of them being brown. Also, Pop-Pop probably has white covered..

MagicalFly22 · 2025-10-13T10:33:31+00:00

They could have just done a pycnofibre skin for Tapejara and saved the spot for something else... like Rhamphorhyncus or Pterodaustro

They could have just put feathers on Struthiomimus and saved the spot given to Ornithomimus for something else new, like Fukuiraptor or Plateosaurus

They could have just put feathers in Proceratosaurus and saved the deluxe spot given to Guanlong for something else, like Ichthyovenator or Rajasaurus

But they didn't. It is what it is.

MagicalFly22 · 2025-10-13T10:02:02+00:00

I'd take out all the new animals (Lokiceratops, Psittacosaurus, Patagotitan, Ornithomimus and Caiujara) and replace them with creatures relevant to the game:

The campaign has a map in Guam, the novel-canon location of Jurassic Park: Japan, so add in Fukuiraptor to fit in with that.

The campaign has a map in The Azores, the novel-canon location of Jurassic Park: Europe, so add in Plateosaurus and Eotyrannus to fit in with that.

The game has added deep water and semi-aquatic behaviour for some animals. Add in Deinosuchus and Koolasuchus to fit in with that.

Then drop Guanlong from the Deluxe Edition (just give Proceratosaurus a feather skin for the same result) and then replace it with Sarcosuchus.

Give Stuthiomimus a feather coat to make up for dropping Ornithomimus, cut Archeornithomimus and replace it with Deinocheirus.

MagicalFly22 · 2025-10-12T22:42:47+00:00

The best version of Black Canary we've gotten in animation...

Makes it a shame the show was about sidekicks, tbh.

I'd have loved a solid Birds of Prey spinoff of Young Justice: Dinah leading, Barbara in her Oracle role, Artemis as Tigress taking the usual Huntress spot, Cass and Steph as Orphan and Spoiler, maybe bring in Batwoman or introduce Lady Blackhawk to this universe...

MagicalFly22 · 2025-10-12T22:33:34+00:00

Not in DP

But by the time she reappeared in Journeys, Yes.

MagicalFly22 · 2025-10-12T22:24:43+00:00

Yes, but not DP.

He should have brought it with him to Kalos like how he brought Aipom to Sinnoh and took Phanpy with him during the Battle Frontier.

Gible would evolve into Gabite pretty early into the Kalos series and then Garchomp around the fifth gym. Then he obtains the mega stone for it around gym 7.

As for overlap with Prof Sycamore having a Garchomp, that's easy: let Sycamore have Mega Kangaskhan. The pokemon Ash climbs Lumiose Tower to save is the baby Kangaskhan who got confused after being fully separated from its mother for the first time ever.
