Setting the World on its Buneary (477)

**Medea** · 21st June 2007, 1:43 PM

Well...

-Buneary was just the cutest thing ever! I just wanted to reach into the tv and grab it and snuggle it.
-That...crush Buneary had on Pikachu was very...interesting to say the least. All though, the best crush on Pikachu was definetely Magnemite in season one. But this one does make a dent in my book.
-Dizzy Punch, Ice Beam, and Bounce...That's a pretty impressive pokemon to catch and I'm glad Dawn got it.
-Croagunk! Yes! We finally see the great Brock cliche!

Buneary has an annoying voice... but other than that, I like it and its cute little crush

**Dax** · 21st June 2007, 10:05 PM

Buneary is the cutest thing I haver ever seen in my life. It's a shame Dawn doesn't use her that much considering the powerful attacks she can use.

**R_N** · 22nd June 2007, 2:10 AM

Buneary is SO freaking CUUUUUUUUUUUTE~~. It has oen of the most fitting voices EVEH.
I just wnat ot cuddle it.

This was a pretty good episode. I don't feel like doing a 'The Goodzors/Teh Badzors' at current due to the secodn half of the contests about to come on, and that this episode had no real bad points.

Just know this:

LagomorphShipping FTW! Buneary adn Pikachu forever!

**uber gon** · 25th June 2007, 9:43 AM

Surprising how Dawn is the first main character with a pokémon that knows a flying attack (BOUNCE) who isn't a flying type itself.

**Rebeccag** · 30th October 2007, 9:44 PM

i liked this episode bunery is just the cutest thing ever ^_^
And i loled at Crogunk with brock looking forward to more scenes like that
And Bunery catching Pikachu was kinda cool

**wobbanut** · 22nd August 2008, 2:09 AM

Buneary has really been my favorite Sinnoh pokemon. It is so adorable, with its voice and its crush on Pikachu. I like watching any scenes she's in, and this episode is no exception.

It's interesting that both Ash and Dawn try to catch her, but she balks at fighting Pikachu (so adorable!). The part where Pikachu surrenders to Team Rocket voluntarily in the hopes of Buneary getting released was great too. I'm glad Dawn ended up with Buneary instead of Ash, it seemed more suited to her from the very beginning (not to mention that Dawn went after one or two other bunearies before this one).

Overall, a very enjoyable episode.

Buneary sure is a great Pokemon. If it didn't spam Ice Beam so much it'd be even better. I'm glad Dawn caught her, I've always liked her antics in and out of contests.

this episode had some nice moments in it, i enjoyed watching it^^

**ccangelopearl1362** · 21st March 2009, 5:56 AM

Ah, yes. Buneary's crush on Ash's Pikachu began with this episode, and even now, Lagomorphshipping may be a side detail of my new interest in Pokémon. Of course, that may just be me talking. I definitely couldn't resist gawking at the television screen when Buneary started to cry after Pikachu scolded it, but when Pikachu offered to give itself up to Team Rocket in exchange for Buneary, I was left amazed -- in a different way. It may be a good thing that Dawn ended up catching Buneary, and now, she has a Pokémon with an icily wonderful attack for her contests in Sinnoh.

sorry just testing this profile thing...

**Blue Snover** · 22nd April 2009, 10:21 AM

Not a bad episode, it was nice to see Dawn finally catch herself a Buneary.

**Littlemyuu** · 27th April 2009, 3:49 PM

Finnaly Dawn got herself a buneary...its cute that it have a crush on Ash's Pikachu

**S.Suikun** · 12th May 2009, 7:16 AM

So for those who care about the Life and Times of S.Suikun, all is just peachy in his special little world. "Peachy", of course, being defined as not appley or peary or orangey.

I've been speaking of capture episodes feeling formulaic, and this episode certainly follows suit. However, a few interesting tidbits keep Mimirol's capture from being as dull as Naetle's. For one, the entire scene with Hikari's hair crisis is highly entertaining. In addition, Mimirol's whole infatuation with Pikachu is a fun quirk that - while not used too often afterwards in the series - at least spices things up for this particular episode. Of course, this is also the episode that spawned all the fun claims of Greggle being a pedophillic pervert, and like Masukippa exploding in DP005, it's fun to recall all the innocent pre-Piplup-*insert dictator* jokes.

Granted, the general plot of this episode is very tedious. Typical Team Rocket scheme and mechanism, typical capture attempts, typical capture and battle, etc. Even back then, I was not thrilled at the prospect of another appeal-happy Ice Beam user. In spite of being completely generic, though, the antics with Mimirol and Pikachu prevent this from being another capture clone, saving the episode from being Naetle 2.0. That said, I am still amazed and baffled at how nobody knows there are multiple Jennys and Joys before they set foot out of their hometown.

C+

Nice to see Dawn with a Buneary. I think the Pikachu and Buneary couple is cute.

**Hjörung´s wrath** · 30th June 2009, 8:33 PM

Hehe, I love Piplup´s expression after Dawn caught Buneary:

He´s such a pompous little big guy. <3

**Ash-kid** · 25th July 2009, 11:57 AM

The first Buneary from earlier was the same that showed here, i think. her capture was very hard, but Piplup beat her...

**catzisconfus** · 18th August 2009, 5:34 PM

this episode was pretty meh but dawn caught a buneary so its good

**Surfer_Dude** · 25th October 2009, 9:48 AM

Well Dawn FINALLY catches that buneary! It's a pretty skilled one too!
Knowing ice beam...

**Charmed** · 5th December 2009, 2:16 AM

Dawn meets and catches Buneary, a Pokemon she was trying to capture for a long time. Well it could've been worse. I'm actually glad see caught this and not some Bug-type like May caught in AG. Although Kricketot is cute and would've been a nice choice haha. Aside from Buneary being captured by Dawn, there's not much else going on here. 4/10.

**KGB13** · 14th January 2010, 6:52 PM

I'm glad to see Dawn finally caught a Buneary, since she failed to about twice before, although I don't know if the first one she tried to capture was the same one. I like how Croagunk unexpectedly saved the day by smashing the ice that Ash & Co. were trapped in, it's so quirky and funny. Overall it was a good episode.

**Willow's Tara** · 31st May 2010, 6:11 AM

Not a bad episode, Buneary was quite cute especially with it's crush on Pikachu and how it seems to be shy and hides her face in her fur, and like his owner Pikachu is clueless when it comes to girls having a crush on him lol.

**saar** · 8th July 2010, 12:27 PM

Buneary was s strong, good capture of Dawn.

Pikachu is a male, yeah. In this episode it was cinfirmed.

**~Platinum~** · 20th July 2010, 3:38 AM

Dawn catches Buneary in this episode and it comes set with powerful moves such as Dizzy Punch and Ice Beam, which are moves too powerful for your average wild pokemon to know unless it's going to get captured. It's cute how Buneary has a crush on Pikachu. Pokelove, awwwww....

And Croagunk waas funny in this episode.

Too bad Dawn's hardly ever gonna let Buneary out of it's pokeball. It is for this reason that she never gets a Lopunny.
