The Champ Twins! (497)

[cassius335]

But does anybody else think that this whole series is becoming a haven for old Johto stuff? This entire episode was basically Johto, Johto, Johto! First they had two Johto Pokemon (Quilava and Croconaw) and then they started to bring back all the old Johto music.

Interesting thought. How long before a Heracross, (non-shiney) Noctowl or Ho-Oh episode?

[S.Suikun]

YES! CARNIVINE (and Seviper) EXPLODED!

Lots of BGM I haven't heard in ages. The brothers' voices were relatively irritible, I thought. I probably would have enjoyed the feud a lot more if I actually understood Japanese, but the battle at the end was quite good.

And once again the writers fail to realise that Pokemon Symphonic Melody is NOT battling music! And it never will be!

The staff seems to think of it as "victory" or "comeback" music. Personally, I've always hated the song no matter how it is used.

One episode, big deal. Hoenn had a jouto episode too for the record.

First they had two Johto Pokemon (Quilava and Croconaw) and then they started to bring back all the old Johto music.

Yet Ash had to dex Quilava(>>), not to mention he didn't bring up his Cyndaquil or Totodile either, and as for the music we hear old peices all the time.

I'd lol if the Quilava and Croconaw are actually foreshadowing for later on. And I don't mean permanant, but something temporary.

Its like the Donphan episode from Hoenn where Ash remembered his Phanpy and then in the next saga he returns it to his team and it evolves.

I'm doubtful of that happening.

The difference is this time Ash didn't even think about Cyndaquil or Totodile, and please don't start with that, it's bad enough people are wanting those two to return due to the lack of fire and water pokemon in sinnoh.

Turtwig vs. Piplup at the start were pretty hilarious to see! Also Ash and Dawn getting angry at each other too...lol! Reminds me of The Bicker the Better with the whole Ash and Dawn arguing and the pokemon not being into sync, etc. Yay for Carnivine and Seviper exploding too!

One of my least favourite episodes so far. Seeing Quilava was one of the few saving graces IMO. The only others were the michrophone and the return of the pitfall!

First they had two Johto Pokemon (Quilava and Croconaw) and then they started to bring back all the old Johto music. Now even though Ready GO! is one of my favourite pieces of music in Pokemon I just think that the composers could try to come up with some music for the whole Sinnoh series.

And once again the writers fail to realise that Pokemon Symphonic Melody is NOT battling music! And it never will be!

Since the fillers are now starting to get into full flow I am expecting another few episodes of rehashes and pointless episodes.


EDIT: uber gon that was Quilava using Flame Wheel! Ash's Cyndaquil doesn't know Flame Wheel. That is why it can't use it!

Well I saw the image and it made me think of the Flaming Torch "flaming up."

Frankly, Cyndaquil would've looked cool doing it. Maybe in some FAR FUTURE episode Cyndaquil will learn Flame Wheel. Not that I believe it'll come back ANYTIME soon.

The episode was really entertaining; Ash and Dawn's final battle was made of awesomeness, and plenty of funny moments were split through the whole episode.

Too bad it still looks like a rehash of "The Bicker, The Better", but... Why would I be to complain if both episodes are gorgeous?

Bring on Bagworm and Co. now! =D

- Nozomi.

they Just Perfect Although Why Don`t They Make Dawn And Brock Instead Of Ash And Dawn

Well, "The Bicker, the Better" didn't have Ash and May resolve their battle, this episode did.

Too Bad They Didnt Put Brock

[freedom-123]

It's just you.

[CyberCubed]

This episode was really high quality in all areas.

I'm amazed at how many little details were stuffed in here.

- The newscrew was actually funny, especially when the guy kept dropping the "whatever its called" on the reporters head. LMAO.

- Jessie wearing the cowgirl outfit = yum. I especially liked how the newscrew tried to drag her away

- Dawn was hilarious with the way she had to make sure she looked good in front of the camera.

- Naetle actually had some personality! Shock! The whole fighting skirmish between Pochama/Naetle was amusing.

- All the battles rocked. Yes, all of them. The first battle with Ash/Dawn losing was nicely done and fun to watch, the battle against TR was VERY good, and I really enjoyed the final battle as well.

- Nice to see underused Pokemon like Quilava and Croconaw again. It really makes me wish Ash's Pokemon evolved.

The fighting and "make up" scenes between Ash and Dawn were done right too.

Its really refreshing to see a girl who likes battling as much as Ash does. We *never* got these kinds of scenes from Misty and only once in a blue moon from May. I like how each girl has battled more than the last in the anime, its refreshing.

Twas pretty funny to see her try to get on the camera, but failing to do so.

Cowgirl Jessie = HAWT

[uber gon]

I saw an image of Turtwig using Razor Leaf on Crocanaw's Water Gun. What happened afterwards?

[Geodude]

Yeah I don't find Jessie attractive at all, but even I think she was hot in that cowgirl outfit.

[Korobooshi Kojiro]

The Team Rocket Battle in this was amazingly fluid and awesome looking.

I was impressed....YOSHA!

And the Battle at the End was very strategic, YOSHA!

And the Boom Stick Fat Guy made me LOL, YOSHA!

So, a very entertaining episode.

[Jonah]

What were the twins names?

[Poke'T<3]

Oh man, im so glad piplup got beat up, woo hoo!!!

YOU AND ME BOTH!!! i think they need to show dawn going down atleast a little bit... i was amazed ash didnt use pikachu they should use buneary and pikachu together in a double battle they would work well buneary would try to save pikachu but yet she would probably be distracted by his cuteness! << Piplups foot tapping was so cute! but piplup really did get in the way of turtwig trying to save himself and then it went and attacked him geeeeezzzz
