Maybe I'm in the minority, but I love the PMC.

It's interesting to see a group of bad guys who start out as semi-rivals of Team Rocket, then end up joining forces with them when they run out of equipment. I also really liked Phanpy and Cleffa's relationship in this episode, they were so cute together.

Sorry to double-post, but it's been six months since my first post, so it's probably okay.

I watched this episode again last night to gear myself up for Ken and Mary's return this weekend in "Crazy as a Lunatone". I definitely can't wait to see them again. When I saw the pictures for this episode last year, it didn't look like the PMC and Team Rocket had teamed up again, but whether they do or not it should be interesting to see them have a reunion. I'm hoping for more future appearances by Ken and Mary. They're kind of on the borderline between being good and bad guys- good because they're doing research and not so much going after the pokemon for evil means, and bad because they won't let others stand in their way. I hope they will be back.

This was a pretty good episode. PMC was okay, but they're chant of their name got a bit annoying. It was also a bit odd for them to have giant robot parts in a suit case. Plus, James commented how they can't afford stuff like that, when TR uses all sorts of mechs. Otherwise, it was an entertaining episode.

**Phantom_Bugsy** · 11th September 2005, 5:09 PM

Dude. PMC is like...me and Alfonso. And the guy looks like Toshiki wtf. :0

I need to actually watch this ep :< Just cuz. PMC, yo.

**MondoTR** · 29th October 2005, 10:40 PM

I forgot about the PMC until seeing this ep again. That was an amusing rivalry with TR.

**≈*Virulent Tsunami*≈** · 29th October 2005, 10:42 PM

This episode was kind of cute, I guess.

I haven't seen the PMC at all yet, so this was my introduction(and rightfully so, since this IS the first episode they're in). They have a lot of cool machines, but they re-used the same building animation every time.

Phanpy and Cleffa's relationship was really touching. Not to mention Phanpy actually had a big role, which is cool IMO.

This beats the old episode by a lot, IMO. It was rather dull and totally out there. At least now they made it make some sense with the 'problems operating it' thing. They're little Clefairies, they shouldn't be able to operate it.

Anyone find it ironic that Cleffa evolved during one of the saddest moments of its life? I mean, it's supposed to evolve because of happiness, but it evolved right when its heart was torn in two

Brock had a nice explanation of its evolution though, and it did make sense. It was just the timing that seemed strange

.

At some points in this episode, Phanpy sounded just like Cleffa o_0

Phanpy's determination to get Cleffa back where it belonged was sweet. It could've been killed a number of times, but it kept going anyway.

Heh, the PMC and TR sniping at each other was golden

.

Overall rating:
8.3 out of 10
Nice episode. Cool for a Johto Filler, mainly because of abundant Cleffa and Phanpy scenes.

I think it's the only ep PMC's in.

**Lil Brother** · 29th October 2005, 10:55 PM

Nope, they return in AG for Lunatone's introduction.

Darn it, Commander Blizzard said everything I wanted to! :P

9.5/10. Really good for Johto.

**MondoTR** · 29th October 2005, 11:03 PM

Really? Then I want to see that ep, missed most of Hoenn. That's a cool little rivalry that'd be great to see more of sometimes.

**ShinyManafi** · 22nd December 2006, 3:15 AM

This one's alright, Phanpy was great in here

**Igottapoo** · 7th January 2009, 11:20 PM

Pretty good episode. But I didn't see too much point behind it. Kind of a nice throwback to the 1st season though.

**Hibachi** · 21st July 2009, 11:34 PM

I thought that the relationship that developed between Cleffa and Phanpy was really sweet. Especially since Phanpy basically saved Cleffa's life. I liked the little rivalry going on between Team Rocket and The Pokemon Mystery Club (PMC). I thought it was neat that we were able to see all of the same Clefairy that were in "Clefairy Tales". I also liked how the Clefairy stealing items from Team Rocket to help rebuild their ship. I was sad when Cleffa got left behind from its family, and it surprised me that it evolved. However, Brock did explain that the relationship it had with Phanpy could have caused it.

**BogleDominic Crazy Anime** · 7th August 2009, 3:20 PM

I've seen the PMC in houenn! I didn't know there in this episode. I love the cleffa. Cleffa is the cutest pokemon in the world! I remember those clefairy from season 1.

**Ash-kid** · 17th December 2009, 4:15 PM

Hmm, Phanpy got a new friend.

Too bad Cleffa left it, Phanpy was so sad....

And i loved to see the new team.

8/10

**Armaldo48** · 7th January 2010, 2:26 PM

Those PMC guys are weird...... But not in a bad way tough.

7/10

**Charmed** · 9th January 2010, 1:00 AM

Those PMC guys were the best. They're like Team Rocket only funnier.

Glad Phanpy got some character development with that Cleffa, though it wasn't enought to save it from it's fate.

I've seen too many Fairy episodes to find this one too refreshing :/ 4/10

**G50** · 21st February 2011, 7:24 AM

This episode was ok... It was really cool see Cleffa for the 1st time. The ending was great where Cleffa evolved into Cleffairy because of its friendship with every1, especially Phanpy to be able to get back into the spaceship.

30/100

**TheEpicGoomba** · 13th May 2011, 1:51 PM

This episode was ok. Nice to see Cleffa. PMC guys were pretty funny.

6/10

**Littlemyuu** · 14th June 2011, 1:34 AM

Aww, cute episode! Phanpy helps little Cleffa..its one of my favorites!

**stanleysmith** · 23rd October 2011, 6:42 PM

I liked how Phanpy was helping Cleffa. I also like the very beginning where all of the Pokemon were out. I just like those scenes. Crobat.. Poliwhirl.. Phanpy.. Bayleef.. Onix.. All of 'em!!

**AquaMilotic** · 22nd February 2012, 12:34 AM

Phanpy and Cleffa were cute together, and seeing Phanpy get some screen time was nice. Phanpy having to say goodbye to his new friend was also very sad... I felt so bad for Phanpy! Cleffa evolving into Clefairy in order to get on the spaceship was original and cool. Ash promised Phanpy that he would see Clefairy again, but that never happened... This episode made me cry and was very sad, and very beautiful, 10/10 and a crapload of tears from me.

**Bulba the Great!** · 22nd February 2012, 9:03 AM

I've always been curious as to why PMC doesn't just follow Phanpy and Cleffa across the log...not like it's not thick enough to support them. Wimps.

**7threst** · 21st September 2012, 7:43 AM

I loved the fact that you both had PSM and Team Rocket in this episode. It was also interesting to see those Clefairy again from almost 200 episodes ago. Seeing Phanpy was great too. All combined, I really enjoyed watching this filler episode and it was certainly of the better one's during Master Quest.

**Angel~** · 13th October 2012, 5:27 PM

A cute episode, I loved all the Phanpy and Cleffa scenes, I was shipping them in this episode to be honest. PMC were annoying at first but then I started liking them because they were starting to be funny. There goes Ash making stupid promises he can't keep, telling Phanpy that he would see Clefairy (Cleffa) again. Of course that's never gonna happen, can Ash just shut up please with the promises.
