Shame on you all!!!

For not getting the TRUE reference in the episode title!

Satoru Iwata asked everyone at E3 2005 "You say you want a Revolution? Well, WE GOT ONE!" right before he unveiled the Revolution for the first time!

When I found out Sharona was renamed Cynthia for the NA version, I was dissapointed not only because Sharona's not even a Japanese name by any means, but also because having the characters read the title card by singing out "My Sharona!" would have been funny.

yeah that would have been funny

[BlisseyBoy]

There are two things i liked about this ep. 1. That they used B-button leage instead of something else 2. That Tr sang the ep name.^^

I find it funny how at the episode name, Team Rocket sing it as if it were the song "revolution" by The Beatles.

I like that part too

and also I couldn't believe that Pikachu Couldn't beat that Magikarp with the advantage!!!
They just both got really tired

when the machine turned into a transformer i was like WHAAAAAAT COOL but when it broke apart right away i was like....i knew it lol

[(s.i.e)]

oh yeah, the wii-remote, i was surprised when i looked back to it so it, i'll
give a 7/10 for this one, i hope the next episode that i watch will be better

Brock's Croagunk is good at keeping Brock from getting to close to any girls.

Nothing much happened this episode. But at least the Magikarp Salesman made a return. I am easily impressed

[wobbanut]

Yay, the return of the Magickarp Salesman, one of my favorite recurring characters. At least this time the new voice actor actually sounded like the Magickarp Salesman, not the "Bronx cousin" (my nickname) from that one Chronicles episode.

This episode in no way convinced me that magickarp and feebas have much use apart from evolving them, but at least it was interesting to see two trainers who valued them for what they were. Team Rocket's "evolution" machine was pretty cool.

I also love this line of dialogue:

Oralie: “So, what does the C in C-button stand for?”
Jessie: “(groans, to herself) I hate being put on the spot. (aloud) ‘C’-side slackers! So, she sells C-shells by the C, by the C, by the C-shore League!”

[Maiev]

Glad the Magikarp Salesman made a reappearance, I still remember the Spoink and Feebas one back in Hoenn, which was funny. The super strong Magikarp was weird though. The B-Button league was an alright name.

[Blue Snover]

This episode was a little dull, i was impressed that they managed to get Magikarp and Feebas to such a high level though.

[Littlemyuu]

A nice episdoe with Feebas and Magikarp...i like watching this

[S.Suikun]

Here's an example of an episode that was worth it for the little touches, because in the big picture, it was not too remarkable. I'm talking about things like the Magikarp Salesman, Nyasu's Wiimote, the entire concept of a Magikarp being strong or a Feebas being gorgeous, unintentional 4th Wall with the B-Button League, the absolutely killer animation, etc. We pegged this as "Sinnoh's first true filler" back in the day, although I'm now willing to accept DP007 as the first seeing as how that appeal practiced was never actually used. Regardless of your own definition, this episode was entertaining enough to hold its own, and while you'd never think that Pikachu vs. Magikarp could be thrilling, this makes you believe otherwise.

I do have a few complaints; for one, I feel the Magikarp Salesman should have been used better seeing as how the episode does involve the so-called world's strongest Magikarp. It seems he was merely thrown in because of Magikarp's involvement, and the writers sort of worked a TR scheme around it. Second, I wish Feebas...you know...did something. Magikarp's actually gotten numerous episodes over the course of the series, while Feebas has had little focus (Milotic, on the other hand...). I raved over the animation upon its first airing, and what do you know, it still ranks as a competitor for Iwane's top effort. I sorta wish we still saw these types of hatching techniques every now and then, but perhaps there were some conflicts with the *ahem* lesser directors.

B-

Magikarp seemed a tad bit too strong. I can understand how it could beat Piplup at that time. Dealing a lot of hits to Pikachu was just enough. If only one of Pikachu's electric type attacks like Volt Tackle had hit Magikarp. That will probably be the last of the salesmenbecause I am tired of them. Everytime they rip TR off. It is just a waste At least it is cool to watch TR be sad that they got ripped off by a salesmen repeatedly.

[Shadow XD001]

This was a great episode. Ash would work swimmingly in the BB club! Also, this shows a Magikaro can be real powerful.

[Mr. Smile]

This was a normal filler episode. Nothing really new happened. I enjoyed watching Team Rocket try to figure out what's wrong the machine they built. The wii-like remote was a definite attention grabber.
7/10

[milenadrg]

It was nice seeing some Pokemon in action for wich people think they are weak. I am disappointed because episode was focused on Magikarp. I am sick of Magikarps, I wanted that Feebass more to shine, too...

[CliveKoopa]

This is a great episode. TR are really nasty in this episode for once as it shows them trying to force pokemon, including Pikachu to evolve, which we don't usually see.
