The Search For A Legend! (018)

[Darkstorm16]

Didn't they say that Richie was from "Frotama City"? If that is true where is it?

[WaterDragon trainer]

Just saw this in the US. This episode was awesome. Salamence was awesome. It was funny how Butch mispronounced Dr. Namba's name. Moltres was cool.

[Battra]

Really good episode I always enjoy seeing Richie, one of my favorite supporting Characters.

[Darkness Angel]

was nice to see Moltres again.

[wobbanut]

This episode made me think of the thread asking if Team Rocket's disguises have ever fooled you. If it wasn't for seeing the episode pictures a few years ago, and Cassidy's unique hairstyle, they could have easily fooled me in this episode. Even Butch's voice sounded different.

This was a pretty good special overall. I saw it a week late, thanks to my stupid TV, but at least I enjoyed it. Richie wasn't as great here as he was in his previous two Chronicles episodes, but the story itself was good. Silver was an interesting guest character. I liked the part when Butch called Nanba "Mambo", and the radio was animated with Nanba yelling at him. That had me ROFLOL, and going back over it a few times. Nevertheless, after so many Butch and Cassidy episodes, at least we won't see them again until next spring.

Overall, 7/10.

This looks like an okay episode. Moltres is a Fire Pokemon, so therefore I have to like the episode. It's funny that tough Silver guy has a Chikorita. You'd think he'd have something else fully-evolved or stronger to compliment his Salamence. They only have one Hoenn Pokemon in it, that means it may be boring.

True. I expected something really fierce- like a um.... I don't know. It was really a suprise, anyways.

I think I'll like the rest of Legend of Thunder even though there are no Hoenns, but that's just 'cause Jimmy is the best! Ritchie is just so-so, therefore it's not insured I like this one. The only really good thing is he has a Charmeleon.

Anyone knows that Ritchie is just boring goody two shoes. Jimmy has more flavor.

[Luxuria]

I haven't seen this episode yet...looks good....with Richie, the mistakes and all. Ooooh, Cassidy in short shorts!

[SheWhoLovesPineapples]

Why was it necessary for Richie to bring up Ash? o_0 He must not have much of a social life...

All in all I thought this was so-so. Not particularly interesting...

Jessie, James, and Meowth are pointless enough by themselves. They don't need Chronicle counterparts. I've never had a problem with TR outside of the infamous trio, but if Butch and Cassidy keep filling in their role I just might. >.<

Are you saying you only like Pokemon when it has the ones from the third generation? Why? o_0

But anyway, yesh, Kenta > Richie. (But that's just my opinion, and a biased one at that. I love anything Crystal version. ^.~)

Bah. He mentioned Ash to create a implied shippy moment. Duh. lol

[Francesc]

Wow, Boomanda it's pretty strong. I would like to see it again 10/10

[Battra]

Seeing Richie again is nice, it's interesting that he's always traveling alone and not with a group. The way Silver reacts when he hears Ashes name make me wonder if he's encountered him before or if he' possibly Ashes father. The battle between Salamence and Molters was excellent I liked how Molters turned Dragonrage into that giant Moltres. Also Team Rocket must get hot wear their disguises over the uniforms all the time when undercover that's got to be uncomfortable.

[ShinyManafi]

I'm actually sick of seeing of this episode, but I like it alright because Butch and Cassidy are in it

[Pacman]

It was alright.

[flyboy1308]

Richie is always good for a change.

[mewmew202]

I have a wild theory. You know how we never saw Ash's dad? Well combined with the fact that he was so surprised to hear about Ash and that he was searching for Moltres for years he very well could be. PM me your opinion

[Cenzo]

Richie is cool. But he should change his look, he looks too much like Ash. I would like to finally see his full team though.

[Red Jr.]

Silver seems to know who Ash is, and acts surprised when he hears his name.

Maybe Silver is Ash's dad

[GARizard]

Silver recognizes Ash's name. He's got a cutesy Pokemon that rides around on his shoulders. He's got a flying dragon powerhouse. He's following a legendary firebird. He's loud, brash, and a little arrogant. Silver being Ash's father seems pretty plausible to me, considering the sheer number of parallels between the two.

[PokemonBluev]

Guys isit possible to buy Chronicals on Dvd or bluray? Or even Video?

[Charmed]

I don't believe the anime mentioned it, but does this take place on One Island in the Sevii Islands? Or is Mt. Ember a coincidence?

Anyway, I loved that Richie appeared again, and that he got his own story. This is probably the last we'll see of him so it's good to see him with a Legendary Pokemon (Moltres).

Team Rocket, always messing stuff up when they aren't bothering Ash...9/10

[Ash-kid]

Wow, Moltres...
First time I see it. I loved to see Silver's Chikorita, it means that he is from Johto.
What a pity that Silver did not have a serious chance to fight Moltres because I have a feeling that his Salamence was beating it.

[Willow's Tara]

Nice episode, great to see Moltres as well and of course Cassidy and Butch will go after it. Moltres being injured kinda of reminded me of Articuno in Noland's first episode actually. Pity Salamence and Moltres didn't get to battle for longer

[G50]

This episode was cool. It was great to see Moltres in this episode, my fav. legendary Fire type. It was cool to see a battle between Salamance and Moltres that wasn't about capturing, but to make each other stronger. Those disguises of Cassidy and Butch were so obvious... The battle between Moltres and Salamance was great!

[AquaMilotic]

This was awesome! I loved Silvers Chikorita, it's much like Ash' Pikachu, but much cuter!

Also nice to see Chikorita with other "kinds of trainers", Chikorita in other episodes were from Casey and Ash, both young, stubborn trainers. Also nice to see a cute Chikorita with an experienced trainer who searches for legendary Pokemon.

Also, great battle between Salamence and Moltres. Sure, the battle wasn't finished, but still great!

Most people searching for legendaries in both the anime and the movies are evil. It was good to see someone searching for a legendary Pokemon, without any evil intentions.

There should've been a sequel to this, with a finished battle between Moltres and Silver (who would probably use Salamence again).
