a very cool episode. Good to see Casey again and for Misty to see a Hoenn pokemon like Delcatty!! A very good episode, also good to see Butch and Cassidy again since they haven't been in the anime since Johto

[Geodude]

Don't forget the Pokeshippy hint in this ep...Psyduck seems to be smarter than we all think it is.

yeah and Psyduck is quite smart but since he isn't most of the time everyone says he is stupid!

[Sharpshooter]

Yeah this one was quite good, I liked the battles involving all three of the characters here, Misty of course coming on top.

Team Rocket were funny as usual, this time it was Misty that messed up Butch's name, they didn't hold much ground though, Misty and co. defeated them rather easily, there just becoming as bad as the Jesse & James now lol.

Stupid question, apologies if I've missed the episode on this, but what happened to their mascot Raticate exactly?

[Geodude]

Nobody knows. The assumption is that their Team Rocket-issued Pokemon have been changed a few times.

Yeah, and... wait, what was that? Team Rocket ISSUED Pokemon? When has it been said that Team Rocket give Butch and Cassidy their Pokemon? (Raticate, I can understand, since it appeared with them in the Team Rocket Hoso, but the others... I always just assumed that they caught them themselves. Well, apart from maybe... say, Cloyter and Tentacruel. I thought it would just a little TOO suspicious that they should just happen to have two Water Pokemon at that time.)

That, and Houndour and Hitmontop have appeared again. I doubt it was a case of 'Hey, those two new ones failed, so here's your old ones who have failed more times back!'

[Geodude]

I'm pretty sure there was a line (at least in the dub) where either Jessie or James suggested to the other about calling HQ or whatever and asking for more Pokemon, but they dismissed the idea due to their status with Team Rocket.

Whose brilliant idea was it to make the title have nothing to do with the Plot? There were no lives at stake! No abnormally serious matches, unless I missed the part where Misty tries to burn the evil spirits out of the Gym.

Actually, the title is connected to the plot, though the part it's connected to is just about impossible to translate satisfactorily. Basically, it involves a letter that was intended to express how serious the writer was about wanting a date, but was misconstrued as a possible death threat.

This was a pretty good episode from what I saw. I only wish I could have watched thw whole thing, the copy I have just stops abruptly about half way through.>_<

It was neat to see Nanako make another appearance because she's one of myfavorite characters, and I really like her Meganium. It was also nice to see Koduck again, it's always good for a laugh, and of course it was funny how it was smirking at Kasumi. And as always, everyone meses up Kosaburou's name. Even the boss gets it wrong, now that's embarassing.XD

On another note, I fealt sorry for Kenji being left to do all of the chores around the gym, poor guy. At least he gets more of a role in Hoso 17.

[cold_katanagirl]

I have a feeling that I'm going to like this episode a lot... Dunno why, I just think I am. *shrugs*

[Kasumi]

This ep. is very cool, I so happy because Kasumi is in it! I knew that I will see her again She is my favourite character. The best scene is when Psyduck looks over once's shoulder on Kasumi and he makes so different grate and cute eyes. I love Psyduck! He is so cool and stupid

[Heracross]

Finally got to see the rest of this one. XP Like I said before, it's a good episode, and now that I've seen it all the way through I like it even more. The pokémon battles were cool, and it was nice that Nanako ended up going to the baseball game with Tsutomo.

Though there's one thing that continues to have me puzzled and annoyed. As one who is interested in going into Architecture as a career, I'd like to know what the hell is up with the Hanada Gym. In this episode we can clearly see that the main room of the gym has a ceiling made entirely of glass. But how can that be? In all four of it's previous appearances in the first season and in the other two Housous it is clearly shown with a normal ceiling, not giant windows. Would like to know where on Earth they found the time and money for that renovation. >_> Not to mention, in all the shots we've seen from the outside of the gym there was never a part of the roof that was made of glass. And furthermore, the shape is all wrong. If the ceiling of the main room is the same as the actual roof of the gym, then I'd like to know how the hell it's rectangular when the gym is clearly round. O_o I could understand how you put a rectangular room in a round building, hell we saw that with the Tamamushi Gym as well, but the roof and the ceiling would certainly not line up like it does here.

Poor thinking on the animators' parts I must say. :/

Sounds like it's pretty cool, right now the only keeper I have from this one is this very cute picture of Bulbasaur and Squirtle:

Awww,so cute!

Isn't that pic from Journey to the Starting Line and not from A Date With Delcatty?

[Torkoal Stu]

Well:

Good Side:
They did call her Casey.
Casey used Elekid. :D
They remembered the theme song and the team Casey supports.
Oh oh oh you know when Misty said to Sakura "This is tracey" and Saukra asked if they were boyfriend and girlfriend well

Misty:This is Tracey
Casey:Is he your boyfriend?
Misty:Why does everybody say that when I introduce him to anyone?

Bad Side:
They called Butch a previously used name XD
Casey and that guy who loved Misty were all I love is the impression it gave after their battle.
Peliper had its pokeringer voice which is different to the priginal debut voice it had.

Alright:
Delcatty had its what I belive to be the same voice from that other hoenn episode with Skitty.
They actually said Misty's sisters names "Violet and Lily" which are usually never named but as always Daisy spoke and was mentioned as per usual.

Thats all I can remember.

[ChaosMage]

Is that Delcatty's Japanese voice? I thought it was OK, but I wasn't too thrilled.

[Gravy]

This episode was just plain boring. Butch and Cassidy's involvement seemed forced and pointless, Casey's voice actor made my ears bleed bloody waterfalls, rendering the episode almost unwatchable and the battles involved were of poor quality. I really dislike Corsola's uncanny ability to recover after its fainted. As cheap as it gets I'm afraid.

Though, I did like random-filler boy. He was a pretty neat character, though its a shame he got over his initial embarrasment around Misty so quickly. The episode would have been more interesting if his nervousness had caused him to screw up in battle or babble like an idiot.

I'll be honest. Apart from the first Hoso featuring her, I haven't enjoyed any of these Misty based episodes :/

And yes, it was Delcatty's japanese voice. You could often make out the 'koro' part of its original name whenever it opened its mouth.

[CyberCubed]

Misty:This is Tracey
Casey:Is he your boyfriend?
Misty:Why does everybody say that when I introduce him to anyone?

LOLOLOL

Did 4kids keep the part about Psyduck laughing when Casey asked her who she liked or something?

[Sharpshooter]

LOLOLOL

Did 4kids keep the part about Psyduck laughing when Casey asked her who she liked or something?

Nope, I only saw the first half but I think she just bugging her about it saying "oh c'mon" "really?" etc, then Psyduck came out and just s******ed.

I think 4kids have got a consistancy now by mis-pronouncing Butch's name to Bill like they do in the Japanese version with Kosabaru and Kosanji, instead of all these other crap names like Buzz and Bip, since that's a few episodes in a row now.

[V Faction]

Did Elekid have it's usual "Bii Bii!"?

And my guessimate is that 4Kids just doesn't want to have to go around making 500 Zillion "goof names" for Butch. And it's easier to remember.. Bill, is it? Bleh. Such a generic name.

[Torkoal Stu]

LOLOLOL

Did 4kids keep the part about Psyduck laughing when Casey asked her who she liked or something?

LOL, sort of it just looked like it was blushing you know witht he red lines and so on. Oh oh Daisy did show some love for Tracey though when she was trying to make Tracey clean the pool and when was he said "When will being a ncie guy pay off" I think, something along those lines and and and when tracey was finished Daisy told Misty that she was taking him to dinner as a thank you. LOL!

Also Daisy said that Lily and Violet were on a modeling tour and thats why thye weren't there. XD Also Daisy said that she was a model and swimmer of something it was kinda lame and made all her sisters seem Air Headed like Marina was made into. Well thats what Ed said about Marina.

EDIT:Well as far as I could tell V Elekid sounded like it said "Bii! Bii!" so yes as far as I know.

Uh, what? Excuse me? Bill? WTF about Botch? O_o Let's bring back the classic, ffs. None of this Bip, Bill, Bitch, Betch crap. -_-

And... LOL! They took out the whole purpose of the Misty/Psyduck scene? The whole 'Is there someone you like' thing? ROFL.

4Kids 'know' something alright. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[Kakashi-Sharingan Warrior]
