The Joy of Pokémon! (094)

[Ash-kid]

I didn't like this ep.
But it was good to see another nurse Joy. she was much more stronger.

[Ciccone]

Wow. A Filler with a new, buffer, darker, more athletic Nurse Joy.

I didn't like it too much. They whole giant Magikarp thing was creepy. How could anyone love that thing. But it's evolution proved useful in the end I suppose.

The baby Seel they showed was cute though. 2/10

Didn't really like this episode. Did however like seeing that huge Magikarp. It was cool seeing what Joy looked like with a tan. It was cool seeing Dewgong play with Ash, even though he almost drowned.

So, was the Gyarados the same size as a normal one, or was it bigger? I couldn't tell.

When Magikarp evolved, I was thinking "this is going to be one massive Gyarados!"

[Aquarelle]

That giant Magikarp freaked me out when I was little. I wasn't expecting to see a real live Magikarp that was that big. O_O

It wasn't that surprising when the Magikarp evolved. I had a feeling that it would.

And it was nice to get to see a Nurse Joy that looked different from other Joys and did kayaking and things like that.

I wonder why the other Joy in the Orange Islands aren't tanner like this Joy is. You'd think that working in a tropical paradise would make them a little darker. Anyway, the rest of the episode, outside of the darker Nurse Joy, was boring.

[Kutie Pie]

^ I think this particular Nurse Joy worked outside more often than the others. But I do remember other Nurse Joys on the boat being tan themselves.

When I think of the Orange Islands, this is pretty much the episode that comes to mind. I personally think this is one of the more memorable episodes from the season, probably because of a super-strong Joy and a giant Magikarp. You know, come to think of it, perhaps this story was inspired from Clifford the Big Red Dog? Clifford grew up because he was loved so much, and Joy loved the Magikarp a lot. So I figured that was why the Magikarp grew so big, and not so much because it might have inherited some giant genes.

Anyway, I found this episode enjoyable. It's rather heart-warming to see the Magikarp attempt to protect Nurse Joy, and to see it evolve because of its determination was one of my favorite evolutions. (I can't even remember if James kicked it*SHOT*)

If I can find it, I'd watch it over and over, it's definitely one of my favorites. And since I am a bit older now, I might discover new things about it, who knows. I might even actually not end up liking it :O, but it seems rather unlikely, since I do have fond memories of the episode.

[Calamity™]

Well, this Nurse Joy was a lot more badass than the others. That was some next level rowing! And the baby Nurse Joy was so cute, as were them Seel at the end. I also like how Jigglypuff returns. Best part of the episode has to be when Psyduck comes out and can't swim... lol! Sort of a shame how the Gyarados wasn't huge considering how large Magikarp was.

[Angel~]

This episode was okay, I wonder how Brock would react with a tanner, stronger Nurse Joy. ?

[AquaMilotic]

Pros:
- Original Nurse Joy.
- Awesome Jigglypuff.
- Even more awesome Psyduck.
- Gyarados being portrayed in a positive way.

Cons:
- Brock wasn't there.

9/10.

Wow, super Nurse Joy. Awesome. Anyway, this episode was pretty solid done and a good premise to the next gym battle too. I think the fillers from the first gym battle in the Orange Archipelago to the second gym were really well done.

[Demon Kitsune Yoko Kurama]

That's one powerful Nurse Joy. I bet she could wrestle with a Machamp and win. xD It was good episode, I wish the Magikarp evolved into a much larger Gyarados to be honest.
