Steamboat Willies! (507)

[Surreal]

I think that's why they put Hikari's skirt shot in there, they wanted a more mature audience than kids since they know even the older ones play Pokemon as well. Or either the silly Japanese put it in for their pleasure, untill America comes in and edits the American version.

They won't edit it out. It's just one frame. They didn't put it in there for any reason.

This episode was good. It seemed like a peaceful filler episode since it made me want to take a cruise. Meowth’s Boss Fantasy was alright this time around. I gotta admit, Pachirisu was really cute with the whole balloon thing. It was hilarious with Brock flirting with all the girls in the shop without Croagunk Poison Jabbing him. I kinda thought that after all the schemes TR pulled, Pikachu should at least become suspicious as to where a lady, a giant Plusle, and a Minun came from.

[Poke'T<3]

That's my point. Ash's pokemons all have personalities but not as strong as the pokemons of Dawn or Brock. The personalities of Dawn's and Brock's pokemons entertain more than the personalities of Ash's pokemon excluding the overdramatic Mukku.BIRD.

Whoa ash's pokemon are all stronger than dawn and brocks, pikachu beat dawn a lot of times and in the double battle with two of her strongest pokemon (buizel and the GREAT BUNEARY) pikachu and aipom OWNED. Pachirisu and piplup are weaklings and she doesnt even have buizel anymore.
However, she has precious aipom Pikachu has loads of personality more so than piplup however we both know turtwig is BORING he should have not caught turtwig and kept aipom then caught and riolu. Eh... but i dont care.

[Lucario&Smeargle]

This ep was so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!! i especially loved Pachirisu's flying fetish, and the SudoBuiTurtChus. LOL! I wonder what their song they were playing would be called! I really like Buizel, and I love how gangsta it looked! Like I said, this episode is GREAT!

Do you not know how to read? I never said that Dawn's pokemons were stronger than Ash's in terms of strength, I was talking about personality.

The episode was the cutest thing ever. I love Pachirisu and I gained love for Sudowoodo and Happiny.

Yep, they didn't. And I don't see why people made such a big deal of it. I say this episode on my computer, and trust me, any person simply walking in while that scene took place would never have noticed it was done. Unless you have the unique ability to watch something at 30 frames per second(TV standard), then I doubt you'd been able to spot it. I did, but like I said, I was watching it on my computer, and had the ability to go "frame by frame".
(Great, now this is going to seem like I'm both contradicting myself and being a hypocrite... nice job. )

Anyhow, I thought this episode had some pretty funny moments on it. I saw a few Titanic references (Pikachu at the front of the boat, Happiny and Pachirisu being escorted off the boat(woman and children first.).

Honest to god, is it so hard to distinguish Team Rocket when even little kids watching this show can clearly tell that IT IS THEM??? You'd think Pikachu would have a recollection of the amount of episodes that he's been fooled from Team Rocket that he'd at least make the effort to realize that it's them without having to be trapped. And I thought the episode "Setting the World on it's Buneary" would have convinced me on Pikachu's actual intelligence level. I guess not.

One of my favorite scenes is with Piplup, using the magic accessories to further prove how the laws/physics of anime/cartoons can be used to make magic as real as possible yet still give it the impression of a trick with a comedic allure. Bravo!

A flying Pachirisu with balloons? You've got to be kidding me. As if being an electric type wasn't enough, you give him balloons to make him fly the way Pikachu once did. Admit it, you are a pika clone!!! (That one was a thought I'd had while typing this, I just found it interesting to note the similarities between that).

Sudowoodo further proves itself at mimicking by doing so with Buizel.

Buizel with the saxophone. Now all he needs the right glasses, a decent hat and a jazz tune and this works quite well. Turtwig as a drummer? Yup, with a mop for hair, he's good to go. Pikachu on the cello? Not too sure, I think Pikachu could be more suited for the Piano.

Oh, and sure, Turtwig and Pikachu are unable to destroy a rock pillar, but as soon as Buizel uses SonicBoom it's gone! That's just a bit awkward. Even worse, was the rock chunk plummeting towards Pikachu. Knowing Pikachu is friggin' fast, I was more concerned with the boat than the mouse.

Favorite comedic part was at the mart. Brock begins flirting and pauses to await the jab he's about to receive. Then, recalling that Croagunk is nowhere to be found, he goes on a wild flirting spree. I probably would have lost myself laughing if Ash intercepted and yanked his ear a-la Misty, but then again, that's a bit over the top. I'm quite curious to know what Ash was planning on getting.
But my biggest question with this whole scene that I doubt anyone would in there right mind about this show have thought is: How the hell do they pay for any of the stuff they buy? Not once in this show did they mention anything about a budget that they had, but here there are seen afterwards with bags of goods a plenty. Unless Brock paid for it, which could easily be assumed. Dawn might have a secret stash-o-cash before leaving. Ash, well... ya, no comment.

Overall, quite an entertaining episode, one that reminded me of a "Pikachu's Vacation"-esque sort of thing. Of course, in here we get to see what the trainer's were doing while they were gone, so this adds some depth to that concept. And for once, I was actually not at all concerned with Team Rocket being there. Seeing how they were there for about 10 seconds(give or take), their screen time wasn't much, yet was plentiful for the idea of this episode. Pretty decent filler.

[BlitzBlast]

This was a pretty good episode, but I have a problem with the fact that the ship got damaged and no fees on the twerps, AND THE FACT THAT THE SHIP LEFT WITHOUT IT'S CAPTAIN.

[Sparkleo]

Hey, Poke'T<3. The stuff you're mentioning just now (Buizel and Aipom) won't take place till several episodes later, and there are still some people who have yet to see it. So it's best to not put out any spoilers in this particular topic...

[King Of Steel]

I had a nice laugh at Brock's flirting spree and the Team Rocket fantasy was nonsensical, yet quite funny. Giovanni would obviously not react like that.

Yay, a reference was made to the genders of Buneary and Aipom (Aipom's gender is now totally confirmed, but Buneary hasn't had her gender confirmed in the original... yet). Well, no one can argue that Buneary is female, from watching the dub at least. =P

[Geodude]

Well, no one can argue that Buneary is female, from watching the dub at least. =P

You mean "no one can argue that Buneary isn't female"...or in other words "no one can argue that Buneary is male".

[King Of Steel]

You mean "no one can argue that Buneary isn't female"...or in other words "no one can argue that Buneary is male".

Ah yes... Thank you for correcting me. Was caught up with something earlier, so it came out all wrong because I was rushing. XD;;

[Corzola]

Yes, it did look like an extaned Pikacus Vacation. I pretty much liked the ep, it had some very funny moments, you got to see that Piplup is concidered to be a joint leader instead of being a baby (which was the status of Torchic pretty much until he evolved). TR was however more or less useless, the did nothing to further the plot, I think they could have skipped them out.

The part in the store was quite funny, Ash and Dawn was fun and Brock not having anyone stopping him from flirting was hilarious.

Around 7/10 with some 7,5 moments.

[uber gon]

It's kinda funny that PUSA would mention nightclubs in a kid's shows despite certain celebrity mess ups that occur in them.

[King Of Steel]

Yeah, I was all, "What? They actually got the guts to mention nightclubs?! Bravo."

Well, at least not all dub lines are "for kiddies only" material.

[mimejr.james]

After Brock mentioned the night club, Ash and Dawn said it would be fun! I can't believed they said that! I was amazed!!

Ash might get money off his mother...

[HoennMaster]

This episode wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, I actually liked it.

[chamo-chan]

The Episode was cute:
-Pokemon having fun
-band Playing
-dress up
-and a magic Piplup.

[Rebeccag]

i actually liked this episode.Pachirisu with the balloons was just so cute and i also liked the bit when bunery, happinny and aipom went into the dresser to try dresses on that was pretty cute. The bit in the marc was funny as well with Brock flirting and notcing that Crogonk wasnt there so he carried on flirung too. Pplup with the magic set again was pretty cute too ^-^. Altogether a pretty cute episode not really forcusing on anything but nice to see the pokemons relationship between each other

[Xtra]

Since I haven't seen much Pokemon between Johto and Sinnoh, I was surprised when Aipom was revealed as being female. And yes, you gotta love the floating Parchisu and the pokeband they had. And Crogunk having a staring contest with itself was funny as well.
