Setting A Not So Old Score (495)

[uber gon]

Anyone find it weird that one image shows Dawn beating a Bagon with Piplup?

In the animé, dragon-types are usually incredibly powerful.

[Medea]

Just saw the episode yesterday and it was pretty good for the most part.

-I completely forgot that Kenny had another pokemon besides Prinplup. Honestly, I think it's just odd how he's able to have an Alakazam when he's still a beginner (not as much as Dawn), but still.
-Just like the first contest in D/P, when I saw Carnivine bite Jessie's head, I was hoping for Seviper to choke the life out of Jessie in the appeal round.
-On another note for Jessie, it was refreshing to see Dustox in a contest again. It has been a while. And another thing is that Jessie used two pokemon in this contest which is nice to see. Last time, she just relied on Carnivine in the appeal and battle rounds. Nice change of pace.
-I knew Johanna (Dawn's mom) was going to appear, I just couldn't remember. It's nice that Dawn remembered what happened in that last phone call after losing to Zoey. At least she wasn't calling her mother for every little detail!

In the animé, dragon-types are usually incredibly powerful.

Maybe the higher forms, but not a little Bagon.

[uber gon]

Maybe the higher forms, but not a little Bagon.

Yeah, you're right.

However, the fact that Piplup could beat one rather than Pikachu seems a little off.

[penngrade6]

I thought the battle between Piplup vs. Prinplup was pretty good, and I liked how Jessie used Dustox (She uses it rarely).

[Geodude]

I know this is belated, but since this is an episode in which it has a decent role, it's still appropriate to say that I'm glad Pachirisu's voice was kept, like it should be for Pokemon that have the same name in both languages. That voice is too adorable not to have in the dub.

[Korobooshi Kojiro]

Kricketune's voice was kept as well, friggen YEAH!

[Darkness Angel]

after seeing this eppy I swear I saw an adult looking Max behind ash and company. At the begining of the episode.

[uber gon]

Drill Peck was used in SUCH a cool manner.

[Ashy Boy]

I can understand Jessie being really mad for losing out to Dawn, but I couldn't understand what Jessie said when she was lashing out at James and Meowth. What was it?

[HoagiethePokeBreeder]

I couldn't figure out what she was saying either.
But I also didn't especially care for Dawn's new Rival. He's got one of the sickest sounding voices I've ever heard. Except for Max after the new Dub, that was horrendous. And I have a certain disliking for when Brock says the word "Rival." I don't know why, but it just annoys me very much.

[Venusaur Master]

good episode the battle between prinplup and piplup was good but to think whirlpool can be used in a surfing way

She was ******** about how they don't "pull their own weight".

[Ashy Boy]

She was ******** about how they don't "pull their own weight".

I'm sure she had to say more than that. Any quotes?

[WaterDragon trainer]

This episode was pretty good. Dawn’s preliminary round went pretty well. It was cool to see a Kricketune. Alakazam’s entry was pretty cool. I thought it was pretty funny when Dustox got struck by Piplup’s bide. It was cool how they used the “Regi Music” during the battle between Dawn and Kenny. It was also cool to see Mist in the anime (I don’t recall seeing it before). It was great to see Dawn beat Kenny (whom I find to be extremely annoying) and win her first ribbon.

[Infernape33]

When I saw the beginning of the episode, I thought Piplup was evolving.

[Treecko Girl]

This is the first and seemly last ribbon Dawn's got...
I'm sorry to all Dawn fans out there, but she's just so crap at contests... I'm better than her and I'm more of a battler than a preformer...
May was better and she didn't even consider them until she got travelling.

Mabye she'll get better over time (COME ON DAWN!!!! USE BUIZEL!!!!)...

[Geodude]

Uh, no. Dawn got her first ribbon much sooner than May did. Your last several posts in general are making very little sense, do yourself a favor and please smarten up before the veterans on here make you look stupid.

[Rebeccag]

good episode. Dawn won a contest even though it was pretty close Dawn just managed it. And i liked the little dawn/Kenny moments too those were cute

[Ayra]

Dawn just got lucky. Piplup's Bublebeam was MUCH slower than Prinplup's. When Piplup's Bubblebeam hit, Prinplup's had already hit, so Piplup's hit both the Whirlpool AND Prinplup's Bubblebeam.

[wobbanut]

This episode made me mad that Jessie once again lost in a contest, but at least she got hers with the next contest. Pretty neat twist that Dustox gets hit with the bide attack but survives (for the moment) since it's been hit so many times before. I'm glad Seviper managed to pull through this time, too, after bombing out in its last contest back in season six.

I guess Dawn had to get a ribbon sometime, but it still made me mad back then that Jessie's had tons more experience than her and still lost. Thank the gods for "Team Shocker".

[DanChimchar]

Yes Dawns Frist Ribbon Win
I knew at the bigging Poffin had something to do with the mess up
Anyways I love Whirlpool is has great graphics and stuff
Prinplup should have won but whatever at least Dawn won

[Shiny qwilfish of doom]

i really liked the contest battle, Dawn gets her first ribbon!

[(s.i.e)]

it was a close one for dawn but she made it which was good, she has her first ribbon now so the first step has been made.

[Littlemyuu]

Im glad Dawn got her first ribbon...she can be proud of herself ;p
