Rejoice people, OUR CHILDHOOD is back.
Who would have ever thought that Brock and especially Misty are returning in main anime?:D

Don't get me wrong im very happy Brock is coming back and on top of that with mega evolution. But, im way more excited for Misty return. Putting aside fact from being my favorite nmain character in pokemon, we haven't seem tomboyish mermaid(pun intended) for more than 11 years. THIS is glorious and majestic day.

My greedy side wants them to be returned for entire season, but i gues two episodes will be sufficient for now. Especially given how little we get regarding this characters in this show with even 20th anniversary movie not giving them love and recognition.

I cant wait to see Misty and Lana bond over water pokemon and their siblings. See her and Brock make new friendships with SM cast(Misty used to fear Gyarados and she has lot of inhibitions regarding bug pokemon so she could perhaps better relate to Lillie general fear of touching pokemon helping her to extent) , revisit feelings and bond they had with Ash remembering on older days and how much they mean to each other. Witnessing to dance of sarcasm, teasing, comedy, love and mutual support and understanding prevailing betsween those three. All in good spirited nature of course.

Most importantly i would like to hear about Brock and Misty solo adventures, how much things changed for them. Where they have been to;aterall this opens possibility of Misty leaving Kanto in padt to learn about mega evolution and acquire key and mega stone. Implying she may have resumed her water pokemon master career resolving problems with sisters lack of responsibility.

And im very pleased that Ash is gonna battle his two old friends.
Brock having mega Steelix and Misty having mega Gyarados makreds them more powerful and respectable as trainers on a whole new level. And mega Gyarados in case of going vs at times overpowered Pikachu could logically actually stand a chance.

EDIT:On a side note; I read some speculate how this episodes might be compensation for Misty and Brock omission in anniversary movie. Being directors way of responding to backlash trying to mitigate it.

Usually pokemon episodes are planned 6 months in advance so that seem unlikely. Unless Misty and Brock coming back are reactionary episodes being quickly written and prepared after writers and executives done research on general mood surrounding 20th anniversary both in Japan and overseas changing plans for some before scheduled to air episodes.

However reactionary episodes happening without being planned much more in advance are extremely rare occurrence for any series, so im not sure how much this is even possibility?
