OMG! I knew I heard his voice before!

Anyway, this was a nice filler episode. Very nice animation and I think this was one of the few times a human experimented on a Pokemon in the anime, right?

**Korobooshi Kojiro** · 29th November 2006, 1:56 AM

Yup.

Also, it's interesting Brock mentions Onix changing into Steelix........

Kenan? Seems PUSA is starting to make their dub names more similar to the Japanese names like 4Kids did (He was Kinya in the original). During the first half of the season, the dub names had no relation whatsoever to their original ones (Brianna, Jeremy, etc.). Ever since the Scizor episode, though, they've either kept the names as is or kept them similar.

What kind of song was Battle Frontier Ballad replaced with, anyways? (In spite of the overwhelming odds, I'm going to take the chance and assume it was replaced.)

(I'm going to be gone when this episode airs here, but here's the same opinion that I had 7 months ago - Standard filler saved by superb animation.)

wasn't really that bad.

It was replaced with generic filler music.

Overall, I found this episode to be pretty standerd, Sudowoodo and Team Rocket were the best things in the episode.

Does Jenina from Olivine City smearing polish on her Onyx count as experimentation?

To me, Kenan sounded like Duke from yu-gi-oh. Wasn't that the voice of one of the Johto gym leaders, or am I really thinking of Rudy like Kojiro pointed out?

I didnt think so. I thought he sounded like your typical cowboy-accented guy.

Not a bad eppy. I did find the boss fantasy to be truly funny, but the best would be Jessie's, so much ego involved. The part of randomly walking into into a pub was pretty funny. The town had a very western look to it, despite being in the middle of a forest.

You know, I was thinking about Kenan's voice as well. His voice sounded familiar from the 1st and 2nd season of Pokemon. He did remind me of Rudy and as well the one with the Jolteon with the Eevee battling brothers.

The episode was good, I liked it. I like the whole Western thing that was going on. Got me doing some Western voices after hearing that.

I busted out laughing of Jesse's fantasy of her Golden Sudowoodo, and the guardian or something from the lake is exactly like her.

But overall good eppie, and time to watch the next one.

**Medea** · 30th November 2006, 11:13 AM

This was an okay episode. This made me realize a couple of things here...

1.) I think Jessie is on some kind of high. Don't know what exactly, but she's on something.
2.) Keenan is a cuttie!
3.) Those shiny hunters...I could have sworn I saw some on AMW *shot*

And that's all I can really say, it was just a filler to me.

**Knight_Ram** · 2nd December 2006, 10:11 AM

This filler episode sucked...That cowboy/girl thing was an ok person/trainer guy... That Sudowoodo was pretty cool! I would like to have that in my team if pokemon were real...lol! But other than that, not a good episode really. 6/10

**CyberCubed** · 2nd December 2006, 3:45 PM

Was a solid filler. Amusing how they foreshadowed Brock's Onix evolving and nobody realize that back when this ep aired in Japan.

SUDOWOODO!

**DeathDjango** · 2nd December 2006, 3:51 PM

its a good episode, I saw the pics!!! I wonder if really existed a Crystal Onix/Steelix and a Golden Sudowoodo??? mmmmmmmm.......

**C.J. Ray** · 2nd December 2006, 6:59 PM

Hey, did anyone bother to notice the Legend of Zelda reference when Jessie was discussing how they'd get the Golden Sudowoodo? I mean, geez, anyone who's played Link to the Past would recognize the process of throwing your boomerang into the pond and the fairy asking if you threw in a gold boomerang, or something like that!

yeah i noticed that! well, not right away, but the second i saw that i said "omg where have i heard that before?"

i actually thought this episode wasnt too bad (surprise, only 1 out of every 10 episodes i see i dont hate). one thing i liked here was that ash actually made an attempt to capture something. :O

**ShinyManafi** · 3rd December 2006, 7:27 PM

Lol, I was dumb enough to think at first glance that was a shiny Sudowoodo

It would have been cool if it was a shiny one though! I would like to have a shiny one. Especially a gold one!

**wobbanut** · 12th December 2006, 2:45 AM

Well, just comparing this episode to the previous sudowoodo-heavy episode, "Type Casting", I'll take this episode anytime. Sudowoodo was a heck of a lot less annoying here than in the previous episode (and at least we didn't have any disturbing moments

). Team Rocket's machine in this episode was pretty awesome too (it sounded like something out of Voltron or the Power Rangers LOL). It was a little disturbing how the trainer had upset his sudowoodo so much by trying to make it resistant to water, it reminded me of Jenina and her onix from "Fight for the Light". At least he got his sudowoodo to respect him again by saving him. Jessie's fantasy in this episode was beyond weird, but it was pretty amusing too. I also liked the tough guys at the bar. I got a chuckle over Meowth translating sudowoodo, because the line sounded like the kid who walks by the lake in Verdanturf in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald. LOL

Best line (from the guys at the tavern): "So I said, if you don't wanta cooperate, I'll have ta rearrange your face." "You're not goin' soft on me, are ya?"

Overall, 7/10.

**Igottapoo** · 21st January 2009, 10:03 AM

Cool. An episode that focused on a Johto Pokemon. ^_^ This was a humorous episode. Sudowoodo was so silly. But I felt bad for it getting chased like that. Poor guy.

**TurtwigFan1** · 3rd February 2009, 6:26 PM

A great episode, the golden Sudowoodo looked so cool and I'd love to have it on my team!

**Maiev** · 4th February 2009, 1:39 PM

Nice episode. The golden Sudowoodo was cool and looked great. The cowboy/Western theme was alright too, what with Sudowoodo walking into a saloon/bar like that and getting chased. Team Rocket's pot plant machine was weird but good.

**(s.i.e)** · 10th March 2009, 11:31 AM

that golden sudowoodo looked like a walking throphy if you ask me, i guess it was an allright episode:P

**cg_25** · 19th June 2009, 11:26 PM

A little far-fetched if you ask me.

**Surfer_Dude** · 26th October 2009, 9:48 AM

Pretty funny episode with sudowoodo and all.
Bonsly and Sudowoodo would make a good team. The shiny sudowoodo looked pretty cool too!

**Charmed** · 26th October 2009, 9:51 AM

Horrible filler but I was glad that Falkner's old VA returned to voice the COTD.

Golden Sudowoodo wasn't very interesting however. I give it a 3/10
