Ya See We Want an Evolution! (489)

[Horn Drill]

That was a good episode. The Magikarp Salesman/Nacho Libre guy is always good for a laugh, and Meowth using a Wiimote to control the evolution machine made me crack up. The Salesman's story about the bankrupt company was also funny, as was Croagunk. A guest appearance by Megatron was also nice.

[Hitaka]

I'm glad to see the return of the Magikarp salesman guy, and am less that surprised Team Rocket fell for his sales pitch and bought something defective again. The "World's strongest Magikarp" is like someone winning the special olympics. They're still a retard. Of course losing to a Magikarp of any kind is just sad, so once again Dawn fails.

Croagunk grabbed Brock's butt... then punched him in the crotch. That thing is way too creepy.

Also, the remote control for the evolution machine looks just like a Wiimote. I found this funny.

[Pika Hikari KT]

-Wow, pretty long piece played when TR tried evolving Magikarp and Pikachu. So epic~ Another new piece played when Feebas and Magikarp were dexed; at least not one I've heard in the dub.

-Official PUSA debut of Magikarp Salesman! Doesn't sound half bad...the accent sounds a bit forced.

-Wii! They kept the thinly veiled blatant product advertisement!

-Being a penguin, it's not surprising how fast Piplup is in the water. Too bad Dawn likely won't have many underwater battles, if at all.

-Feebas barely got a chance to shine, just that fairly pretty Ice Beam. Its trainer should enter a contest in the future so the fishy can show why it's so beautiful.

[Korobooshi Kojiro]

Victory starts with B? I sense a badly translated joke.

And PUSA had some good guitar riffs in this episode.

[mario_fan]

Hey is the name 'B-Button Alliance' related in some way to the games were we use the B-Button to cancel the evolution of a Pokemon.

exacly what i was ganna say also if the feebas was good at contes it need max beuty too evolve i dont think the feebas has a choise of not evolving or

[Super Gullwing]

Megatron! =O Meowth had a Wii remote!

That Magikarp Salesman is everywhere. Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and now in the middle of no where in Sinnoh. His voice was good. I can't really remember his old 4kids voice though. Pika Hikari KT is right, his accent does sound like it's forced. [So does James' voice... XP]
Croakgunk is nasty! ... And he's got a weird laugh. First in this ep, it was like "Cro-hehehehehehee," and then it was like "crohohohoho."

If I were to rate... maybe 7/10. I like seeing a strong magikarp. I don't like th whole 'Magikarp is a peice of crap' thing. ^^; And again talking about Pikachu evolving... when will it happen? x_x

[Pika Hikari KT]

Victory starts with B? I sense a badly translated joke.

Yeah, I didn't quite get it until I read this. V and B are interchangable in Japanese, and Musashi was using a lot of short spurts of Engrish since Croagunk's debut...

Speaking of Croagunk, that chuckle of his when he stabbed Brock again was done beautifully in the dub.

And again talking about Pikachu evolving... when will it happen? x_x

Someone needs to watch Electric Shock Showdown again. Pikachu CHOSE not to evolve.

[Lucario,the mastermind]

it was an overall good episode Croagunk's the best!

[Geodude]

I don't think it was actually clear that the machine was defective. The salesman did tell them that once they build it, to wait a week before using it, but of course they forgot all about that until Meowth found that disclaimer in the manual. Even then they didn't remember that they had been told that already.

[Pika Hikari KT]

Wow, the Salesman telling the truth? I thought that he told them to wait a week so he'd have enough time to get halfway across Sinnoh.

[Reign G]

YAY! First DP appearcne of the Magikarp Salesman, and first time hearing his PUSA voice!...And it ain't too good! Meh, I'll get used to it.

Heh, the Wiimote controlled the Evolution machine. I liked Meowth's line: "Time to hit the remote...Wee~!" Sounded like he was advertising the Wii, but just was exclaiming. Dodged a bullet, since you can't blatantly advertise products on tv.

I wonder, if they had waited a week, would TR's Evolution machine have worked?

Croagunk Jab Count: 4. Shweet! Best part was when they chased TR and the 'gunk dragged Brock as he flailed.

[Medea]

-Love to hear Team Rocket sing the name of the title. We haven't really heard that since Chronicles.
-Speaking of Chronicles, the Magikarp Salesman wasn't the greatest (not like seasons 1-7) but his voice was way better than he sounded in the Chronicles.
-It's official, I love Croagunk controlling Brock (even at the worst possible times)
-It's amazing that when Team Rocket was trying to evolve Pikachu to Raichu, they never once mentioned the thunderstone. Did we stop believing in stones to evolve all of a sudden?
-That machine of Team Rocket, when it morphed like that, I just had a bad flashback of watching Power Rangers.
-Finally! I'm so glad that at the end of the episode, NO ONE EVOLVED! I really haven't seen much of that kind of ending since season one!

[Ed Phoenix]

Croagunk's intercepting Brock combined with a haxed magikarp made it fairly decent.

As well as when Pikachu fell out of the evolution machine.

[Pika Hikari KT]

I liked Meowth's line: "Time to hit the remote...Wee~!" Sounded like he was advertising the Wii, but just was exclaiming. Dodged a bullet, since you can't blatantly advertise products on tv.

He said "Wii~!" in the original too, and I'm pleasantly surprised PUSA found a way to keep it in. Like I said, thinly veiled blatant product advertisment.

-That machine of Team Rocket, when it morphed like that, I just had a bad flashback of watching Power Rangers.

More people were thinking of Transformers, as this was a lot more fluid(thank you, Iwane!).

[scissorX]

Pikachu has at some stage already evolved, obviously not when it's been under Ash's control but it has at somepoint. So why ask Ash to joint the B Button League..

[Wynaut?]

No-one's noticed the lack of Wobbuffet in this episode.

Not bad, not exactly memorable either though. Was cool to see a Feebas again. And the Magikarp salesman.

[cassius335]

Pikachu has at some stage already evolved, obviously not when it's been under Ash's control but it has at somepoint. So why ask Ash to joint the B Button League..

Pikachu IS the base stage. Pichu, as a baby Poke, is a pre-base-stage Pokemon.

[Geodude]

I wonder, if they had waited a week, would TR's Evolution machine have worked?

Which was exactly my point.

[Deception]

The singing of the title in the beginning of the ep was corny, but everything else was well done. Croagunk just keeps getting better and better. : )

[Super Gullwing]

Someone needs to watch Electric Shock Showdown again. Pikachu CHOSE not to evolve.

I know that... u.u;
But it just need to happen. ^^;
