Hungry For The Good Life! (552)

[lunarshadow]

It wasn't overly obvious, after all that little piggy was more interested in the food than Dawn. But after that first section, Dawn actually gave a dedicated bowl to it, and that was the big givaway. That little piggy is just so GAH! annoying! How does the rest of the team expect to eat anymore!?

[Ashy Boy]

The only thing I hate about the episode was when Team Rocket captured all the pokemon and became too cocky (as always)

[Casimir]

I haven't watched the show in forever, but I decided to watch this one (and the gym battel with Maylene) and i've gotta say, i'm starting to get back into watching the show.

It was a nice episode.
I think Swinub's a OK pokemon for Dawn, but if it evolves, I think my opinion would change.

Actually, I'm inclined to think that Dawn's Swinub will never evolve. After all, she got it for one reason because it was cute. If it evolved, it would probably loose that "cute" status, if you know what I mean.

This whole cute thing needs to end. After all, do Blaziken and Venusaur look "cute"? She doesn't have to have cute pokémon. Heck, how is Ambipom cute.

I guess it's really up to the writers. After all, they have the final say in the plotline and not the animators. And for argument's sake, I guess it's just that Blaziken, Venusaur, and Ambipom WEREcute at some point.

I've just done the guide for this episode, and thought I'd post up some of my thoughts about it for all to see.

-I dunno, I just didn't really like Monica as a Character of the Day, or Mr. Backlot.

-Urgh, I literally cringed when I saw Swinub. The wacky music, the character reactions, the eating of all the food... horrible, disgusted memories of May's Munchlax came rushing to my head. I hated that thing and I hate Swinub. I'm sure we're set to see more of this hilarious little quirk much more in the series, and I'm sure it's going to keep getting more annoying. Not as annoying as Piplup, but still.

-When Swinub gave Dawn that apple I pointed right at my screen and literally said "Don't you dare have the apple remind Dawn of Piplup and have the apple turn into Piplup's head. Don't you f*cking dare."

Then they did it and I actually had to scream. It made me hurt inside so much. ;(

-I like how Dawn released all the Pokemon yet they didn't even BOTHER to try and escape Team Rocket's flying machine. As we saw when Swinub smashed a hole in it, TR didn't put the barrier back up. So why no attempted escape? Surely one of the powerhouses could have smashed a hole- hell, anything since Swinub was able to with a simple Take Down attack. Lazy gits.

Overall, this episode was incredibly boring and I felt it was a task trying to do a guide for it. No interesting battles, nothing original and boring COTD. The only highlight for me was seeing Yanmega, this is the first episode I've seen wtih it being used.

There's my two cents anyway.

I was thinking the same when I watched the episode. But this really is a problem with many Pokemon episodes.

Nets or cages turn powerhouses into helpless little worms for some reason.

Maybe it wasn´t so bad inside the mecha after all? Only a dirty mind like mine could tell what was going on up there....

Ha! That's just so funny how you put it! Well, I didn't have to scream, but that apple thing was extremely weird! Kind of goes to show how the writers are probably stretched for ideas.

Seems like someone thinks the TV can hear them screaming...

[Slowking[George]]

Swinub looks so strong I'm sure it will be a valuable addition to Dawn's team.

[HoennMaster]

If she ever uses it though.

[Brumrha]

This isn't going to air until next week?!

Argh!

I wasn't too happy the last time Pokemon was put off until next week; the last time, the new show "The Secret Saturdays" was to blame for last time, & this time, I blame the holidays for this.

Ah well, at least I'll have more time to frolic around in Silent Hill...

*chops up a Schism with a Fire axe*

[Ayra]

Well, I wonder what attacks Swinub knows besides Take Down and Ice Shard?

~Ayra~

[the1stpkmnfan]

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

[HoennMaster]

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

[ash_forever]

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...
