Mounting a Coordinator Assault (479)

[BattleFranky~40]

Oh, but that would be such a rehash of Kanto, Johto, Orange Islands, and Hoenn.

I don't mind what he does, but, Aipom really does like the contests, which leads me to believe Ash will keep entering. If he doesn't, oh well. It's nice to see him try new things.

Hikari could borrow Aipom for contests. Or something.

As long as Satoshi doesn't decide to become a coordinator.

LOL So so you'd rather have every thing be a rehash and not have any thing different happen at all? See if this were to happen than it would be some thing new to watch for people who complaine about that.

[BattleFranky~40]

Oh maybe I was thinking of Cyb and some other users. Any ways it would let Ash train his Pokemon and keep his little monkey Pokemon happy. They've been forshadowing this in AG too.

Can you at least try to give a better reason than "training"

ANYTHING is better than Satoshi doing contests.


By the way, how about let's have Takeshi, Kenji, Kasumi, Shinji, Masato and Oak start doing contests too! New and exciting!

[dannyphantomhott]

Hey I'm all for new and excitingXDD
But right now where talking about Ash and what will possibly happen do to previews and summary's LOL. I respect your opinion on the Ash comment, that's your opinion, I feel it would be fun to watch but agian that's me. Training is all I got, it would make him a stronger person and would let him learn new attacks for gym battles too which is a good thing.

Oh great epi...
It marked the beggining of a wonderfull thought-provoking relationship in the Pokemon world

Hikari x Nozomi is only the second shipping I've ever supported in this series, the other being Harley x Drew. Does that somehow conflict with my heterosexuality? Or does it just prove how ridiculous all the "straight" shippings are?

I'm thinking it's both.

[Umi Mizuno]

Eh, lazy so I'll quote myself from another thread:

Well the episode animation wasn't all that great, though better then the previous episodes' (at many camera positions at the screen, I thought Hikari's face was deformed) but the episode itself was pretty good. Let me just say this now, NOZOMI'S VOICE IS ACTUALLY HOW I IMAGINED IT. O____O Tough-ish voice = <3 It suits her quite well. Ash got a lot of screentime in an episode that's suppose to be mostly Hikari, thankfully, the writers haven't shafted him much yet but gave him even more screentime.

Call me weird, but that part where Pochama did it's attack after it's Bubble beam was funny. O___o Pochama was like a giant/gozilla to me.

Boy they sure do like making Hikari's hair sway back and forth don't they?

...Wow, Hikari asking Satoshi to be in the contest? At last! Someone who actually encourages Satoshi to do a contest with them! Even his pokemon convinced him to. :P

FANCY RIBBON CASES!!1231 And even fancier Pokeball coverings and stickers! And now, I'm going to envy Ash forever since he has that teal/turquoise ribbon case. :[ Lucky b*stard.

Whoa, Musashi, you couldn't look better. :P Too bad it cost all of Kojiro's money.

Nozomi looks like Tuxedo Mask in that tux, except her tux is white.

With everything that's going on in D/P (almost panty shots, lesbians, etc.), it's hard to believe Pokemon is still looked at as a kid show. :P

Heh, I also find it cute how it's only been a few moments after Nozomi fixes Hikari's hair, Hikari's going to searching for where Nozomi went. And Hikari seems to look up to Nozomi too. :O

[Firemaker]

Nozomi WILL have her misdrevius evolve. It's logical. But I don't think gay/lesibans need to be on pokemon for little kids to watch. Either way, it was an okay episode by the pictures.

I don't understand much of where everything is but I'm not japanese so I'll wait for the dubbing.

The stickers thing is cool, it'll be James' new collection since all his bottlecaps are gone. The love ball animation is nice.

[CyberCubed]

I imagine gay/lesbians are intended for all age groups, since many kids these days know what a gay person is.

And Japan is more open to this type of thing than the rest of the world.

[Super-Staff]

LOL So so you'd rather have every thing be a rehash and not have any thing different happen at all? See if this were to happen than it would be some thing new to watch for people who complaine about that.

The whole Contest quest is already a rehash of sorts (ex: same judges, same appeals + battle round, same goal to collect ribbons, etc). The only difference is the girl doing them and the fact that people dress up.

Ash doing the Contests defeats the purpose of Hikari's character. Why even create her? Or better yet, why have her be a Coordinator? Why didn't the writers make her fulfill a different role?

Even Brock doing Contests would have made more sense. At least he could have done SOMETHING and he already entered one previously. Ash already has a goal he wants to do... How would being a Coordinator help him in a way that regular training for a Gym battle wouldn't? God, he doesn't even dress up for the Contest...

Assuming Merissa has a Muumage also, that's basically classifying Muumage as a choice Pokemon for lesbians. XD

It's not like kids had a problem with Harley or 4Kids' depiction of James. But then again, that's probably because they're simply naive.

[mickey*1]

wat exactly was aipom's new attack? or was it that multiply move?

[Weav-vile]

After reading the posts of this thread, I just gotta say something: The DP series is proving to be really original, and it's also bringin us unexpected happenings. Think you ceptic people now don't get that lil' issue to create, huh?
And just one more thing: Jessie's gonna beat someone we don't expect her to, write that!

Then we don't need Takeshi on the show either. Since if we can't have homosexuals, we shouldn't be able to have heterosexuals either.

[Weav-vile]

Uh... What are we gonna have, so? duh

[BattleFranky~40]

Uh... What are we gonna have, so? duh

In other words, there's nothing wrong with having homosexuals on pokemon, just like there's nothing wrong with having heterosexuals.

[Tapatio]

There's no problem with a lesbo relationship in pokemon but I really don't like the Hikari x Nozomi pair... Matter of likes I guess XD

[Weav-vile]

You kidding, right?
Hikari + Nozomi = F*ck*ng hella hawt *-*
haha!
And I don't see any problem in homosexuals in the anime too - actually James always was pretty gay for me, since the beginning, and I love him! C'mon, he's freaking awesome :P
And I can't forget Harley too, oh no! He hated May, such a goooood and funny guy ^^
And no, it doesn't affect my heterosexuality ;D

[Mythic Mist]

Great episode, but here's a useless observation:

The music playing in the background when Nozomi appeals sounds AWESOME when sped up <_<

[Geodude]

wat exactly was aipom's new attack? or was it that multiply move?

As has been stated multiple times in various threads including this one, Aipom did NOT learn a new attack. Everyone just assumed it would. What it did was demonstrate an appeal it made up by itself.
