This was a surprising episode. I never expected Aya to be one of the minor characters that would appear again.

i really liked this episode it was funny when Pinco exploded it was cool...no it was sad,but hey i liked this ep anyway!!

[Blaziken master]

I just hate how Aya had to come back when they could have had the ever hot Janine and HER ariados.Sorry had to get that out,Anyway good appearance for ariados

Compared to "Two Hits and a Miss", I really like this episode for several reasons. One, it was a lot easier to understand than 2H&AM, which had terms and traditions that I couldn't understand. At least this episode was pretty straightforward. It had a lot of great little bits as well. I like the part where Misty gets freaked out when a spinarak gives her a web face wrap. I also like the part where Wobbuffet pops out in a sequined outfit. I liked Aya in this episode too, and it was great to see her again.

I couldn't agree more ^^

I might have saw the second half of the ep, but I can still say it was lame.

[just finishes watching the ep in Japanese]

odd... it seems as though Aya's Konpan knows Poison Sting. It can't even learn that attack... thank god AG started showing this Pokemon (its evolution, at least) use its psychic abilities. If only Butterfree had been so lucky.

[ShinyManafi]

Not too excting, Koga in here would have been better

[Battra]

A good episode it was great seeing Aya again she fit this episode perfectly. I loved seeing Pineco blowup on Brock after he compliments Pineco I got a laugh out of it. Misty looks very cute in ninja gear, and it's always funny when we see her confront Bug Pokemon.

[Joshehh]

Misty's bug phobia is always good to see
And I loved their ninja costumes. And the Spinarak web mask, Misty's reaction was very good. The school was good and the battle was too. Yep, I'm glad Aya came back, she's a very good character. Now if only they did return at some point. But I guess this place is locked in filler land forever...

'Would we have to pay?' LOL I love Ash and Misty sometimes.

[Igottapoo]

I love that character but this episode just really bored me >_>

[(s.i.e)]

good episode, it was fun seeing aya agin in this ep.

[Littlemyuu]

Aya is a great trainer, its always fun to see Misty scared

[Hibachi]

I thought it was really good to see Aya again. I thought she and her Venonat got a lot stronger. I thought it was good to see Ariados.I thought it was funny when Misty had to have the Spinarak face treatment. I also thought it was funny when Pineco explodes in Brock's arms right after he compliments it for doing a good job.

[GoodPokemonTrainer121]

I always enjoy being freaked out by bug types.. Aya!! is always great to see some old friends from the kanto region. Yea I also agree with several others of you it would been great to see Koga. But other then that great episode so I'll rate this episode a 8.7/10 for some certain reason

[defno]

I always enjoy it when old characters return, especially when you don't expect it.
The ninja training was new and entertaining but it could have been better.
All together though, it was a pretty decent episode.

[Ash-kid]

It was great to see a friend from the past again.
Ariados was cool, Misty afraid of it, it was funny
And i loved how Vinonet beat Arbok, it was great tactic.

[Charmed]

Wow. This episode had so much potential. Had they shown Koga with Aya, it would've been great. And if he'd have announced that he was promoted to the E4, this would've been an awesome episode.

I liked the ninja stuff but it felt hollow without the master ninja Koga. 3/10

[Armaldo48]

Ariados is one of my favourite Pokemon, it was awesome that is episode features him.

7.5/10

[Swampert_trainer]

I'm watching this episode right now on Boomerang. It was so funny when Ash and Misty asked if they'd have to pay for the ninja classes and it was great seeing Aya again. Wobbuffets sparkly outfit was great as well. I think my favorite part of the episode was seeing Ash in his red ninja outfit. Venonat vs Arbok was great a great battle.

This episode was way better than the ninja episode later in Hoenn.

8/10

Edit: Rank up!

[G50]

This episode was very cool. It was cool seeing Ariados for the 1st time. The ninja classes the gang took were very cool and funny at the same time. Misty was hilarious! Aya's Venonat was definitely a lot stronger than before.

59/100

[TheEpicGoomba]

This episode was good. Seeing Ariados for the first time was pretty cool. The Ninja class was cool.

6/10

[Bulba the Great!]

How does Aya go from being a worthy opponent for Ash and a worthy student for Koga to being "Too weak" for TR's Arbok?? Plot devices...
