Once There Were GreenFields (522)

The second oustanding aspect of this episode was the marvelous, magnificent music! It fitted so well and underlined this episode´s emotional mood very well!
Producers, thanks a lot for composing this awesome piece of music!

Your senseless use of hyperboles is killing me.

Producers don´t compose music.
The japanese music was 10 times better anyway. What s so hard in using the original soundtrack?

Agreed. And I do think that ash_forever said what he said because they kept the one and only chisaki mono. Almost everything else except that song was cruely replaced with ze crappy PUSA music, thus making this episode extremely crappy.

They only kept 5 pieces..

[dman_dustin]

You know Its funny how I watch an episode of Pokemon on what's about not something as trivial as music. I don't even pay attention to the music.

[HoennMaster]

Do you want to know what the real problem is with the music? People care too much about it.

I know what music I like and what not. I won´t underestimate the music´s influence on the overall experience. The same can be said about the animation as well.

Sorry for having an opinion :/

Though I'll miss old Cacnea, I have a feeling it'll come back. After all, James didn't really release it. He just gave Gardenia the Pokeball.

[mew-the original]

I think James wont see it again...

At least that gives SOME sort of hope, We know Damn well Dustox isn't coming back, Jessie smashed it's ball under her feet.
 

[shiny ditto]

I'll miss Cacnea but I don't think it'll come back,
    Spoiler:- But...:

Show Spoiler

 
but if it does it'll be near the end of the D/P series and they happen to meet up with Gardenia and then james sees Cacnea and says hi and then cacnea get's happy and is confused anout which trainer it likes more and then makes it's descision (which will probably be Gardenia but...) and if it's loyal to James, It's first trainer and remembers all the goodtimes they had in a little mini slideshow then it'll go prancing off with James in the End
 

Because after all James only Gave Cacnea to Gardenia so that she could train it.

[bhrettzerda053]

Me too. I will probably miss Cacnea.

[Charizard_Trainer88]

not really gonna miss cacnea barely saw in DP anyways

[Genome]

This was odd..why would pokemon battling need to be promoted?
Maybe today's youth is beginning to realize you can earn a decent living with those white-collar city jobs. That takes me back to the awesome Weekend Warrior.

Pretty great episode that manages to stick to the original plot, no pink glove machine, defeating TR doesn't solve all problems. Cacnea learning the way of the ultimate fist was quite a tear jerker, James discovered he's so pathetic he could never hope for significant progress with Drain Punch.

Bah, at least one of them went right up Aipom's snuff. Powerful stuff, and the green spinning lights would have kept Cacnea at the lead for TR's best attack sequences.

Dawn's not used to the idea that Team Rocket is human? That entire Electrike affair sits rotten in the pit of my stomach. Eh, can't blame the show for trying common sense every once in a while.

I'm hopeless now that I recognized Make a Wish at the end. Haven't seen that movie in 2 years. Very superb piece in a regular episode, serious work really went into James here. Keep up that soundtrack and it'll put everything else on CN to shame. (Except B10 Alien Force, they got their own orchestra!)

8/10 Farewell emotion hasn't been this great since Charizard, sorry May and Max.

[buneary dude]

I'll miss Cacnea. Cacnea was the best of all James' Pokémon. ALL. Atleast in my opinion. And just like all Pokémon who leave, we'll never see it again. But since Gardenia seems to have more screentime than other gym leaders there might be a possibility...

[Squirtle85]

This episode was sad.. I almost cried at the end when James was commanding Cacnea to stay with Gardenia. and then when James called him back into the Pokeball, oh lord.. that was really touching... Nice episode

[HoennMaster]

since Gardenia seems to have more screentime than other gym leaders.

Roark = 4 episodes
Gardenia = 4 episodes
    Spoiler:- and in the future:

Show Spoiler

 
Maylene = 4 episodes
Wake = 2 episode so far
 

Same time.

[TraverseTown]

I'm sad Cacnea is gone, but Carnvine scares me, it looks like a mental patient.

Anyway, it's like a makeover for James's Pokemon in order to prevent his party from looking too old. Even Cacnea shows affection for James like his other Grass-type Pokemon, so you have got it wrong.

[HoennMaster]

How is his opinion wrong? Oh right...it isn't.

[wobbanut]

This was one of my top favorite episodes so far of season 11, along with "Team Shocker" and "Crossing Paths". Any episode where Team Rocket and Team Twerp get along together is tops in my book, and this episode is exceptional because not only do they get along, but the twerps actually try and help James help his Cacnea become stronger. It was awesome to watch, and it was an excellent James episode. Too bad that James ended up giving Cacnea to Gardenia (she's awesome!), but I could tell he really wanted Cacnea to do better. It was an incredible scene.

[Insidious_Dreamer]

Definitly one of the most moving episodes I've seen in quite some time

[Hejiru]

Because after all James only Gave Cacnea to Gardenia so that she could train it.

*cough* Ash's Primeape *cough*
*cough* Ash's Pidgeot *cough*
*cough* Arbok and Weezing *cough*

They all said they would come back for them... and what? NOPE.

[Insidious_Dreamer]

well, you know - it just nicer that way...

[hmmm]

I'm sad Cacnea is gone, but Carnvine scares me, it looks like a mental patient.

tru dat

In this episode, James attempts to train a pokemon properly. His practicicng Drain Punch is a lot like how Pikachu learned Iron Tail. If Team Rocket actually took the time to train pokemon like this more often, they culd be half decent and maybe BEAT ash or something (I know, antagonist winning?! sorry). I know they CAN do it, because Jessie trained hard, and won her self a ribbon!

[Slowking[George]]

I actually cried when James gave his Cancea to Gardenia. It was such a moving scene.

[Littlemyuu]

I was kinda sad when James gave Cacnea away...but atleast it gets stronger
it was a nice episode overall
