Pace - The Final Frontier! (466)

[Korobooshi Kojiro]

How come Squirtle doesn't get any flashbacks?

[HoennMaster]

The battle with Ninjask seemed a little too short to me. The Regice battle looked cool, can't wait to watch it.

[Ashy Boy]

Where was Wobbuffet in this ep?

[dannyphantomhott]

Its awesome how Ash won, I saw the images so cool! Ash is def turning pro, I mean he's even having a tie with May in a contest ^_^

[Pika Hikari KT]

Theres more

I've got one--the flashback with Bulba and Meganium has Ash in his Hoenn garb when they should be Kanto. Also, that fight(I believe that was the only Bulbasaur vs. Meganium fight--Johto League tourney) was a tie(the shot has Bulbasaur clearly pwning Meganium).^^

Looks like Ash has a new shiny plaque to show his mom!^_^

Theres more

Well,Bulbasaur has never battled a Zangoose.

[John Ray]

Thats it! No trophy. No medals. No money. No Final ultimate frontier badge of somekind. Just a plaque!

Anyways i think its one of the best epi yet in my opinion.

I wonder what would happen if he agreed to the offer of becoming a frontier brain. What symbol would he get? If he agreed he will be the youngest and the strongest in all the frontier brains.

But i guess his journey is not over. I hope he will be a frontier brain in the future. I am quite sure that he will be on the DP episode. Maybe he will start again from only taking Pikachu like on Hoenn.

Does anyone know if Ash is the first trainer who has beaten all the frontier brains?

[Ash6K]

At least this episode shows that Ash won't leave. Why else would he decline being a brain. Overall this episode was pretty good. I am disappointed that the writers (or animators??) had continuity issues (like Bulbasaur battling Arbok while May's around, or battling Meganium in a non open area). I'm glad to see Leech Seed and Skull Bash back...so classic and nostalgic. But as I always say...the former possiblity of having a 6 vs. 6 battle should've been used for a more grander ending to the Battle Frontier...

[S.Suikun]

So, what happened to the hall of fame rumor? Hmm...?

I agree that merely a plaque is pretty lame, though I think the key problem was wasting so much time in the previous episode. No time for a big send-off. Could this be the end of Scott, by any chance?

[CyberCubed]

^ Scott could still appear in the final AG episode.

But yeah, I think Scott's done when AG ends. He has no reason to return unless D/P has another Battle Frontier.

[Akaba]

Seems like a really good episode,

I'm not checking pics until I get the episode online - whenever that is.

Anyways, yeah - Enishida is done.

He is the man of Frontier. There is no reason for him to go millions of miles to Shinou and do what? Stalk Satoshi some more?

[The Benmeister]

Mleh, it was good with Scott around. Who knows, we may seem more of him again.

Yeah, I'm upset about the continuity errors as many of us are. It's like the animators just decided 'Oh, to save the effort of recreating every scene as it was, let's just paste images on top of scenes originally from Hoenn and no one will notice!'

Of course, we did notice.

Aside from that, despite the fact that I was originally moaning about the episode and its unrealisticness, the battle was very good. And of course, it's always good to see my little Bulby wulby in action. This will definately be an episode to remember when the time comes and we start to reflect on the Battle Frontier saga. Then again, you could say that with many episodes of this saga.

[Judai Yuki]

Did Bulbasaur use Frenzy Plant?

-Judai

[Umi Mizuno]

The episode was pretty good, at least I finally glued my eyes to the screen because of a battle.

Hmm, a plaque? A PLAQUE? Well better then getting just a handshake and getting a congrats.

W00t for flying Pyramids. :O

[Akaba]

Wait, how have half of you watched the epiosde. Pocketmonsters tracker is down and the other raw place doesn't have it as well.

Am I mising something, or you just saying you watched the pictures?

Yeah, stupid question.

[Kabuto]

A plaque is better then a berry so I wouldn't complain.

[Judai Yuki]

How dare you doubt the almighty berry?!

-Judai

[Pika Hikari KT]

Did Bulbasaur use Frenzy Plant?

No. That was Leech Seed, which it hasn't used in a while.

[S.Suikun]

Pics from filb.de show more flashback blunders such as Ash in AG clothes sending Bulbasaur against an Exeggutor. I mean, as cruddy as the animation team was last week, at least they used Ash's original clothes in the retouched flashbacks. This team was a fair bit more competent, so the extreme disregard of continuity is surprising. Glad we got to see the other two Regis again, though. Lock-On is an attack that makes me very glad 4Kids is outta here.

For those who have seen the episode in motion, how was Regice's voice in comparison to his Movie 8 one?

EDIT: Now that I've seen the episode, I can confirm that it was completely different. That makes me sad. Solrock's voice was also a whole lot different than his appearances in Hoenn. It sounded like Noctowl.

Another thing I noticed - Unlike in the past when Leech Seed was shown, this actually showed the gradual sapping of a Pokemon's energy over time instead of all at once.

EDIT2: Just realized they used the Regi's BGM theme from Movie 8. Bout time they used that. Aaron's theme was also used again at the end. Now if only we could get "Retaliate" to play.

[Nyami]

Ash turned the offer down? Did he give a specific reason why he didn't take it? I'm just suprised.
