Episode was really nice and funny, especially that part with Misty. Vulpix was soo cute... I was really glad Brock got one...
One of those handful of episodes that's focused on Brock...
I remember when I was little, the first time I took one look at Vulpix I fell in love <3 It's sooo cute! It still is one of my favorite Pokemon to this day. But that Fire Spin at the end was a little overdone, don'tcha think? But I did like the fact that the writers made an episode about the whole "inner beauty" thing, it was definitely interesting to watch. I was really glad to see Brock get a new catch, especially since Misty got Psyduck.
I give this episode a:
8.9/10
^ I have to agree. Despite the fact I always got the vibe Suzy had owned Vulpix for a few years and it was semi-powerful, that Fire Spin was a little too powerful.
Anyway, probably one of my favorite Kanto episodes. One of my favorite Pokemon ever debuts in style (no pun intended), along with one of my favorite minor characters ever, Suzie. I loved how down-to-earth she was, it was just a nice trait to see. TR's scam was hilarious, and to this day I wonder why people liked those do overs on their Pokemon. Plus, Brock got some great character development as well. Twas nice to see him get a capture, even though poor Vulpix never got much development after...and I still say that thing had lots of potential. :/
All in all, minus the super Fire Spin, one of Kanto's best. 4.9/5.
I think it was a great episode, especially because Vulpix and Suzie.
Brock was little fanatic because of Suzie, it was very funny how he became nervous every time something happened to Suzie.

A new twist on Pokemon: fashion! It was cool to get something new like fashion in the anime, even if is was a little too much. I liked Salon Rocket and how TR were making Pokemon look cute since it showed that they could easily be designers and not just criminals. I am glad Brock got to take care of Suzie's Vulpix. I think it will provide him with a lot of Pokemon Breeder experience. 7/10.

Haha just what the hell they did to Misty, Team Rocket pulled of some hilarious styles, like that poor Dodrio at the beginning.
Vulpix was so cute, it was nice Brock got it but i guess it never got the attention it deserved :/
KotoneLyra is awesome kotto ne?!♥
I like this episode. I would have liked to see what Team Rocket would have done to Misty's Psyduck. Vulpix was so cute, I wish there had been more of it in the anime.

Misty looked absolutely hilarious with all of that makeup crap all over her face.
I was very excited when I saw Vulpix and its special Fire Spin attack for the 1st time in the anime. Unfortunately, other than that, and the moral of the episode, I didn't like most of the episode.
25/100
The make-up that the Raichu and Dodrio were wearing near the beginning was funny, though I sort of feel sorry for the poor Pokemon. I really liked the make-up Team Rockst put on Misty, it really made her look like a clown. ^_^
I was glad that Brock got to keep Vulpix. It's such a cute Pokemon.
Thanks to aclover for the trainer card
Brock actually got an episode to focus and even got a new Pokémon to boot so it was a great episode just because of that. It had the generic "Beauty is skin-deep" stuff but it was cool. I liked Misty's makeover that she received from Team Rocket. Maybe it was just her clothes though.

Ahh, this episode had one of the funniest error ever:

James cuts Misty's head off. I laughed when I spotted this error years later.
This episode was fun to watch it gets an 8/10.

Great episode, especially Misty's makeover, the stupid costumes for Pokemon and lots of people believing Team Rocket. Another Kanto masterpiece, 10/10, like most Kanto episodes. Brock in love was funny as always.
Ekans and Koffing in makeup = WIN.

I love this episode, I chuckled at Misty's makeover. This was a good introduction to both breeding and Vulpix. Susie is pretty, her and Brock would be a good couple. I'm glad Susie trusted Brock with Vulpix.

The way they animated Vulpix's Fire Spin attack was probably the best they have ever done with it. When Brock metioned that it was Vulpix's best attack, I guess they just wanted to make it look more powerful.

Awesome episode, and I have to agree with G50 about fire spin.
Definitely deserves an 9/10 imo.
It was amusing that Misty was yelling at Psyduck, when Psyduck was the one who got Ash and Brock after seeing that she was in trouble.

Hahah, just watched this one too in my run of re-watching a lot of Pokémon episodes and I loved Brock's role in the first part of this episode. He's was sooooo nervous. For the rest was this a good introduction to both breeding and one of my favorite Pokémons, Vulpix. Team Rocket's role with their salon was also a nice humorous addition to the story. Imo, this episode was definitely better than the previous episode. It was just a lot more enjoyable and interesting to watch.
Vulpix was a nice addition to Brock's team

A decent episode. At least Misty sort of understood beauty's in the inside as well. I cried a little when Brock got Vulpix. I can't wait to see it in action.
