"Hungry For the Good Life" is revealed as this episode.

We already have a thread to post dub titles, they don't need to be posted in the individual discussions.

serebii.net claims that this episode won't be aired until December, 6th !

Is that true? If yes, what's the reason for it and what is going to be aired next Saturday instead?

[the1stpkmnfan]

Yes. Because of Thanksgiving week on CN.

They got stuff airing, even on Saturday.

Remember October 3, no new episode either. Because of the encore of "the secret saturdays".

[omniouswind]

Oh, so I actually didn't sleep through this episode like I thought.
I would not have particularly cared though... Just Dawn getting a blah Swinub that will end up getting totally shafted until in randomly evolves in Mamoswine and Dawn rejects it more because it's not cute and she can't find any little outfits it can fit in...

[the1stpkmnfan]

Still, it's been awhile since Dawn caught a Pokemon. Not counting the trading Aipom and Buizel.

[AstralEon]

Hehe, i miss read the date on when it was going to air. I thought it was going to be aired 29/11/2008 but it seems to me that its going to aired at 06/12/2008. Sorry for being total "newb" on this but why didn't they air it this Saturday?

[Korobooshi Kojiro]

Cartoon Network having various Thanksgiving Marathons.

It was about time Dawn got another Pokemon. Swinub (who is now a Piloswine) likes Poffins while May's Munchlax likes PokeBlocks. That is really weird and they eat the food in one bite.

[the1stpkmnfan]

Oh yeah, there's a decent relationship. I just hope Swinub doesn't eat too much like Muchlax, although both episodes: Hungry for the Good Life! and Berry, Berry Interesting show both Pokemon eating/stealing the PokeBlocks and Poffins. Nice Relaptionship to see again.

[HoennMaster]

How is it weird? It is not the first time we've seen a Pokémon like this.

[the1stpkmnfan]

Other than Munchlax & Swinub, I guess your right. I just haven't thought about it in awhile.

[CyroEmerald_Z]

Im looking at my tv and it says Pokemon doesn't come on tomorrow. Same thing last week and I i think the week before. It still comes on CN right? Is my cable wrong or did something change?

[the1stpkmnfan]

I hope it's the cable, because I've gone through a usually week, just to get to see a new Pokemon.

[Araleon]

I liked this episode. Hungry for the Good Life was a good title for it.

I saw bits and pieces of it in the raw, but then this morning I got to see it in English. Swinub's voice is awesome. It fits, imo.

[Brumrha]

Heh, that Swinub reminds me of half of those customers that I have to serve over at my job. However, it also has got all the strength that can make this guy a force to be reckoned with, & chances are, it probably needs all of those calories to keep itself energised.

If everyone were to be like this, even though we would go through everything that we can make & then some, we would really become a super race.

One can imagine...

*goes back to playing Silent Hill*

[Linkdarkside]

um i surprised Dawn got a Swinub since all her pokemon so far are cute looking and Swinub evolutions arent exacly cute and it look to be strong pokemon at least.

[Dattebayo]

At first, I thought it was going to be another filler episode not involving a 4th gen pokemon because Swinub was from the second gen, but I then I realized it takes place that mansion with the trophy garden from the game. One complaint I have is why did Dawn decided to have it on her team, I mean most of her pokemon are cute and cuddly, but Swinub looks not so cute. Despite this, it was good.

[the1stpkmnfan]

When Croagunk used Poison on Brock at the first part of the episode, his laugh made me laugh!

I just laughed when Piplup turned white! jk It was classic.

I guess it's Dawn being interested on how Swinub defeated Team Rocket, and Mr.Blacklot's words or was it Ash/Brock's?

[trixie08]

Neve got to see the episode yet, but I read that Lisa Ortiz returned to do the voice of Monica the maid. She also did voices when 4Kids was still dubbing the anime. I love this trend!

[A_Merry_Snowrunt]

I was amused about Croagunk's evil croak when he first used Poison Jab at Brock when he encountered Monica. That was some heinous croaking there.

[Shadow Quilava]

It was pretty good episode in my opinion. Mr. Blacklot had so many pre-evolutions and when Swinub was introduced, they played really good music. It was fun to see Piplup starve in this episode. which goes to show mw that Piplup can be funny sometimes. It seems that they went back to the "Heroes can jump so high in the air!!" business.

When's the last time we actually saw a Team Rocket mech in an episode? Overall though, it was a good episode.

Snorlax as well.

but Swinub looks not so cute.

Only you, Only you.

[TurtwigFan1]

Not seen the episode, but Dawn getting Swinub is great. Can't wait 'til we see it as a Piloswine!

[Meowth-Fan]

I thought this episode was ok.
Swinub has a cool voice, it's funny and it reminds me of Munchlax.
