Drifloon on the Wind! (496)

[HoennMaster]

It was better to see this then just the pictures. the pictures made it look more boring then it was. I was happy to Suicune. On the plus side, No flirting Brock and Team Rocket bothering Ash.

[Corzola]

Yes, it was good that Brock had the manner not to flirting with a) a married woman or b) girls 2 - 5 years his junior.

TR not attempting to steal Pikachu was another good thing, that was one of the things that made this ep more free than the usual ongoing plot.

It was like "this ep is how the show would be without TR in every ep trying to catch Pikachu or Ash traveling without any friends". I however want him to have at least 1 friend with him. I don´t actually se this ep as a filler but as a way to show how the series "could be".

[HoennMaster]

So apparently Brock can flirt with engaged girls (If I remember correctly), but not married ones. Your right Corzola, showing Ash by himself made it more enjoyable.

[rainbow_xtina]

Brock basically flirt with every pretty girl he saw. Not knowing who she is before hand.

[hiou2]

did anyone else notice the constant references to my neighbour totoro?

[Power of Fire]

good episode, but seriously wth drifloons cry is ****, it shouldn't be some weird noise WTF IS PUSA DOING TO THE POKEMON VOICES???!!!!

[The carter]

I thought for Ho-ho the bells toll was much better for suicune then this episode. But anyway it was good to see him back but also kinda weird ,seeing as how much legendary's sinnoh has, why would they need to showcase a jotho pokemon again?? Ratings ,getting people interested? Is D/P thát boring???? Well maybe this is after all the last gen ,cause it looks like the anime is dying.......slowly

Why do you think this is the last gen because of the god Pokemon being last in the Pokedex & Dawn tried to make the show less boring

Anyway I liked Nurse Joy's kids(Poor Brock he's never gonna get a pretty girl) and Suicune was cool, I feel sorry for Dawn not able to see Suicune in person.

Drifloon are my second favorite Pokemon, but, this episode just, was not... good. Seriously. It was one of the most boring episodes EVER. It made me sad. The Drifloon were like never in it too. =/ The whole thing made me sad. I was so excited to see it too. BIG let down.

[HoennMaster]

They were the center of attention...appearing about every 3 minutes.

[XXXBurningStarIV]

No. They weren't in it at ALL. And they never did anything. They didn't react to anything. They just kinda, stared. [I know they're ballons, but, COME ON.]

[HoennMaster]

No. They weren't in it at ALL.

Now you really don't know what your talking about.

[XXXBurningStarIV]

I definitely do. In my opinion, what they did in the episode compared to all the other Pokemon in other episodes was nothing. If anything Suicune was the main Pokemon in that episode. He even did more than the little Drifloon. It was annoying. Why in the hell does Suicune have to appear in like EVERY episode. It's really stupid. Plus, they had no personality at ALL. It was just kind of, over looked.

[wobbanut]

I didn't really care for this episode, I'm not big on the drifloon line (though I think drifblim would make a great Team Rocket pokemon), and it was kind of boring. On the plus side, I did like the Nurse Joy family (something different for a change), and the twerps getting accused of stealing food and Brock saying he's just here for Nurse Joy. LOL

[(s.i.e)]

to be honest i never understood the logic about drifloon but hell that's what pokemon is for, it was a good episode for the rest i think.

[Littlemyuu]

this episode is so cute...Drifloon is the cutest pokemon ^_^

[S.Suikun]

This episode features Suikun, thus making me biased and loving every moment of it!

Haha, I'm just kidding. This episode is actually a steaming acropolis of shit.

It's almost as if the writers knew how dreadful this episode was, so they stuck Suicune in at the very end for no intelligent reason just to try to mess with me, thinking that they could convert me into liking their crappy episode. Suckers. I'd call this episode "boring as Hell", but Hell is actually quite the exciting place compared to 22 minutes of a whiny brat and Fuwante actually appearing for maybe two minutes and doing totally nothing. The animation is equally dreadful, as opposed to Suicune's Johto episode which featured stellar animation (as well as a stellar plot, as opposed to whatever the hell this was).

The idea of a Joi family is one that I'm surprised took this long to cover. It's a shame that nothing interesting is done with them. Fuwante is also a potentially fascinating Pokemon, but all that happens to it here is getting blown away. Hey, remember when we all thought Galactic was gonna debut in this episode? Oh, those were fun times that probably would have suited things one hell of a lot better than whatever actually occured in this episode (i.e. nothing). Suicune's admittedly random role does salvage this episode from being as bad as Pikachu Bakery Bonanza, but really, my dear username-sake deserved far better, as did Fuwante (who would later be redeemed under Melissa).

Episode was great and exciting episode! A little Joy was really funny and it was cool seeing Suicune again...

[Heaven Net]

I have yet to see the episode in motion, but I'm glad the power plant from the games was at least included, even if they didn't include the whole Galactic arc that occurs there.
Yeah, I am disappointed, another episode of D/P that could have been great and wasn't. It was so easy to make a plot, the girls say to Ash and Co. that they have little friends in a cave, the frieds turn out to be Fuwanteds that are luring them, and then they have to rescue them before they end up in the underworld. So dark, they could have also included a family story, the grandfather made a deal with the fuwante, they would take his grandchildren in exchange of money. Geez, such a great story was missed.
In a KIDS' show? Look, the underworld thing in the Pokedex makes for some admittedly funny gags, but nobody should seriously expect them to include it in this anime. It's times like this I'm glad the fanbase isn't writing this show.
