Hassle In The Castle! (167)

[Charmed]

Another heavy storm so Ash and Co. head for a spooky castle? Why was their a castle in Japan to begin with? I'll never understand anime logic...

This was a great oppurtunity to showcase a branch of Pokemon Breeding; the healing and medicine branch.

Zubat, probably the most ignored Pokemon to belong to any character finally evolved into a splended Golbat! I loved it, it's the only thing that saved this from being pointless Filler. Kudos to the writers. 5/10

This was an ok episode... It was great to finally see Brock's Zubat evolve into a Golbat. It was funny at the end when he couldn't stay with Dr. Anna just because Golbat's Supersonic was way too strong. There were a lot of funny moments, like everyone getting scared by Wobbuffet's shadow.

30/100

This was a cool episode. Nice to see Brocks Zubat evolve into Golbat. Wobbufet was cool in this episode.

7/10

[Bulba the Great!]

Eerie, totally unintentional foreshadowing when Brock states he's going to give up being a breeder in favor of medicine.

[Profesco]

I liked the part where they get freaked out by Wobbafet and their motto. A surprise was that James almost actually said the word for what Jessie was doing, and it starts with a b.

Jessie: "To protect us from all that chafing and itching!
James: "It might finally stop all of Jessie's... complaining!

That's got to be one of the best Rocket motto variations in the whole series, for its blatant self-conscious humor - James even pauses right where it counts.

[AquaMilotic]

Zubat finally got some screen time and evolved... This is one of the worst Original Series episodes, without a doubt. That means I'll give it 7/10, because Jotho is so awesome! Even the most boring filler in Jotho is good.

It's Persian!
This was an alright episode. It was interesting to see how those Pokémon worked efficiently. It must have been both happiness and sadness for Brock when his Zubat evolved and when he realised it was too powerful for him to stay with that girl. Loved the way he was dragged away at the end. And poor Team Rocket! All they wanted was some food. :<

[Angel~]

A good and funny episode, Jessie & Wobbuffet made me lol a lot. Brock and Dr. Anna had really great chemistry that was equivalent to him & Wilhemina, too bad it didn't work out. Also, I loved Brock's wedding fantasy. ^o^

Going all the way back to when Brock captured Zubat off-screen, it has been a really long while before Zubat evolved. I do like Zubat's evolutionary forms more though - especially when Golbat evolves to Crobat, that Pokémon is sick. Also, Wobbufet in that mansion and in the maze was hilarious!!

[Demon Kitsune Yoko Kurama]

About darn time Zubat evolved. I was thinking that it should have evolved sooner. But, an okay episode.
