The Bicker the Better (348)

[Sharpshooter]

This episode is stupid, how can Ash who has tonnes more experience than May be equal in battle with her. May isn't even a trainer, shes a pokemon coordinator!!

Yes but one of the skills involved in being a Coordinator is battling, you must know that from watching contests by now. Also, since she happens to travel with him on a regular basis these days, it's likely she'll know his strengths and weaknesses from his battles in gyms etc.

how did Ash and May argue??

Coordinators train Pokemon, therefore coordinators are trainers.

[Chris]

how did Ash and May argue??

Haruka kept depending on Eneko's Assist and it kept using the wrong move..and on the wrong times. Heigani tried using Bubblebeam along with Assist to fight Nidoking and Nidoqueen, but Eneko's Assist used Ember and bursted all of the beams of bubbles. Heigani argued with Eneko who ended up using Assist's Ember on it as it turned to face Heigani. The two trainer began to argue and Satoshi ordered Heigani to attack. Haruka ordered a Blizzard which froze Heigani. She tried to free it with Assist to get Ember but ended up wrapping Heigani with String Shot. Another Assist, but Silver Wind was then used which shaped the icy Heigani back into its normal shape rather than a block of ice. A final Assist and it was Ember, which thawed Heigani. Heigani begins chasing Eneko. Haruka and Satoshi argue over who should control who's Pokémon and watch what they're doing. The Nido trainers finished the fight with Nidoking and Nidoqueen using Rollout together against the unknowing two Pokémon.

or rather, read the episode guide.

if it was in the games ash would win but in the show they don't have levels.

Did you even see this episode? Or read the episode guide carefully?
May never battled May one-on-one. So where are you getting the 'equal in battle with her'? If anything, in the May/Jessie vs Ash/James battle, Corphish did a lot of damage to Skitty than it took damage, so I have no idea where you're getting that from.

[cold_katanagirl]

No, I will not give her a break. Especially since I loath cheap battles, contests, and good trainers getting screwed. Considering two of the three are in here, I'm not going to like this episode.

Then why are you all for Kanto? Kanto had some of the cheapest gym battles ever. -_-

May doesn't battle as much as others do, I don't see why people have to keep putting her down because of that.

Anyway, it seems like a good episode. I have a feeling the dubbed title is going to suck. -_-

I'm not used to japanese names, so I'll change the japanese names to english names so that other people will understand this....

I just watched it and it's an amazing good episode. The fights are funny, including the Corpish/Skitty fights. And yeah May does let Skitty use assist a lot but blizzard too. Still the other couple was really funny and the Jesse/May vs Ash/James fight was good too !!

A great episode and truly one of my favs.
9.5/10

[Avegaille]

I wish I could see it too myself! Why do a lot of people complain about this ep, btw?

Predicted Dub Title: Criss Cross Crisis!

[Dogasu]

Official dub title's been revealed.

*unnecessary bump*

[cold_katanagirl]

... Remember when I said the dub title was going to suck?

... Remember when I said the dub title was going to suck?

Not really. But you must have been refering to some OTHER title, as I'll have to hit you if you complain.

See, I've got my beating stick right here. *Waves said beating stick*

[MayAsh1987]

I can't wait for this episode. I read the guide and saw the pictures, and it looks so funny. I love episodes when people fight. (Don't ask) I get so excited when people argue. I don't know, but the looks of things here, I think Ash or May woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

[Miss Priss]

Maybe BOTH woke up on the wrong side of the bed,... and anyways, the title is kinda lame,... "The Bicker the Better?" That's kinda,... different, but what can you expect? They always have to make a pun. P.S. I do think it's going to be at least a LITTLE shippy.

[vulpix]

i'm really looking forward into seeing this episode on Saterday.

-Whoever made the Trainer's Choice today PHAILED. They spelled Onix as "Onyx", and they had both Blaziken AND Onix as choices for who'd be best against Ariados. Gah...
-The scene where Ash, May, Jessie, and James were all arguing and has their faces in those bubble things was hilarious!
-God, the Tag battle everyone had was confusing @_@
-...Will Ash EVER learn that TR prepares their Pikachu capturing devices to be electricity-proof?

Ha-ha, I knew someone would point this out, and being the nerd that I am I decided to soften the blow.

Both Onix and Blaziken would offer up the same amount of Resistances and SE/NVEs. In the long run, Onix would last the greatest.
