Steamboat Willies! (507)

[DanChimchar]

I loved this episode and it was great to watch. I loved the whole dancing party and music thing. Love the Pachrisu balloon brake all the plates and pikachu saves the day lol. But the boat was about to crash I'm like oh thats why they named it that title. Anyways I loved this episode I loved the Pokemon Moments

[(s.i.e)]

i love the name of this episode, "steamboat willies" it's originaaly the name of the cartoon where mickey mouse made his first appearence:P

anyway back to business, the episode was fun to watch.

Staravia: "MY EARS!!!!"

While Pikachu, Turtwig, and Buizel played away on those instruments, Staravia was left to cover its ears in horror. The adorability in Pachirisu's balloon flight may end up speaking for itself, and in the meantime, Dawn surprised Ash with that Piplup mask before heading off to get some new seals. I had to laugh with delight as the Pokémon frolicked about the ship, and even though they almost sailed over a waterfall, they managed to get the ship back to its previous stability. Above all else, this was a Pokémonically fun episode for me to watch.

This episode was *Okay* not at all close to favorite.
Staravia was funny when it covered it's ears.
The instrument thing was okay but stupid.
And the costume dress up was cute (I guess.)
I didn't care for this episode at all.
It was another filler so no point to have it in the anime.
Also Team rocket was funny when they dressed up as Plusle & Minun.
And Pachirisu flying was bland.
Thumb up but 2/5 due to filler.

I love this episode, so cute...
and the episode name is also funny ^_^

Some episodes just don't age well. This is one such example. Although a relatively hilarious first viewing, most elements just aren't very comical the second time around, with a few notable exceptions as TR's costume and dance sequence, Muku.BLEEDINGEARS, and assorted Pinpuku antics. Otherwise, in addition to the complete lack of plot ("Pikachu Short Lite" isn't that inaccurate), the episode becomes a chore to watch once the boat detatches. And while it has nothing to do with my enjoyment, I'm scratching my head at where boats are supposed to go if the port only leads to a waterfall, much less how they got there in the first place.

It is nice to get an episode like this or the maze episode every now and then that focuses squarely on the Pokemon, but they're hardly deep episodes. Even then, some of my favorite episodes are hardly deep at all (giant Claydol, anyone?), but their humor holds up over time. This just doesn't for whatever reason. In fact, the cuteness becomes quite grating in parts. In retrospect, it's funny to see people make such a huge deal out of the so-called "panty shot" and their imaginary "fan service" in this series. It's also sad to read the gender disputes two years ago and see how they still somehow continue to this day in spite of evidence being repeatedly slapped into viewers' faces.

C-

(I feel a bit bad about being so harsh on an episode that was amusing on first watch, but when you think about all the other Pokemon-centered "cute" episodes, there are many better in this series.)

Nice reference in the title.
This was a funny episode, especially when Pachirisu is flying around tied to a bunch of balloons.

[Ciccone]

A lack of story I think. So much potential in this episode was wasted which upset me. The most Filler-ish thing in Sinnoh, which is really sad to see. It was ok if it was a Pikachu short but in the main anime, cute Pokemon antics do not turn out so well as seen in some of the previous episodes like this one. Very bland and almost no story to flow. 2/10.

[Ash-kid]

Funny episode, i loved that all the pokemon were together for a while.

Pikachu was like a leader, but it alone can't stop all the troubles.

5/10

It's a picture from the part when the old man sends out Mantine and Ash and Dawn jump onto its back. For a fraction of a second the angle makes it possible to get a full view of Dawn's panties. If you blink, you missed it; yet everybody keeps getting worked up about this supposed "fan service."
The scary thing is, who discovered this? Was someone just being a pervert and looking at episodes frame-by frame looking for something that looked somewhat pornographic? Seriously, you would need to be looking in order to spot it.

I loved watching this episode! It was nice just to see the pokemon on their own for a change. I think that the reason why I liked it so much was because it felt more like one of the pikachu short films during a movie.

[KGB13]

This episode was just fun! I loved watching all the pokemon let loose and just have a good time. Croagunk was his usual funny self just staring in the mirror the whole time. Never knew Turtwig could play the drums so well. I also thought it was funny how Sudowoodo was trying to be cool like Buizel by copying everything he did. And I never knew Aipom was a girl until Dawn said it. Overall great episode.

[Willow's Tara]

celebi- I would imagine that they accidentally saw it. I think I remember seeing a picture that was a goof or editing error where Dawn had no panties on or something (But I don't think you saw anything, which is good because well Dawn is 10) because they forgot to draw it on or something. I saw it on a forum but don't remember if it was this episode

Anyways I liked this episode. All the Pokemon were out and having fun. Balloon Pachirisu was funny (And probably reference to the Balloon Pikachu right?). Although it was a filler, it was funny how Brock was like "No Croagunk!...Wait.. Yes I am free hahaha!"

Edit: Celebi- Oh wait I don't think the picture I saw was this episode. People got worked up about seeing her panties or whatever? Okay that's a bit crazy

[saar]

This episode was focused too much on Pikachu and the other pokemon and not about the Mantine, who should have got the screentime. It was good to see how the pokemon they behave on their free time. It can teach us on their personality.

[Hikari Paradise]

This episode was absolutely phail. I think I lost a few brain cells watching it.

[Lance The Champ]

This episode was funny and thrilling even though there wasn't any battle involved

[TurtwigFan1]

Watched this episode again after not seeing it for a while! It was actually still quite funny, and I really enjoyed it again - a super cute episode.

[hever]

This is definitely one of the fun episodes around.

8/10
