Gible! Get It! (625)

[JD]

No it doesnt, Slash(Kirisaku) That's Slash's name in Japanese Did Empoleon use any other new moves besides Drill Peck

[PK0082]

I haven't watched the episode yet, but Slash has the same name in Japanese, so if anyone here has watched it, it will be obvious whether that's it or not.

It's not.

In Japan, they call it きりさく (Kirisaku)

EDIT: LOL Mudkip43 beat me to it.

[Haru-kaa]

What was the attacks Emperte used???

Steel Wing
Drill Peck

and ?

[JD]

I believe the only new attack it used was Drill Peck, Steel Wing was used back when Ash and Barry first met.

[Haru-kaa]

Water Pulse (Mizu no hadō) too it's new

[dman_dustin]

It's not.

In Japan, they call it きりさく (Kirisaku)

EDIT: LOL Mudkip43 beat me to it.

Yeah and as I said in the move catalog thread, I heard "Iwakudaki" or something near it which is rock smash. Then again I didn't hear it in the best sound quality.

However it didn't sound anything like "Kirisaku" when Ash ordered it.

[dudleyspud]

Yeah. Pikachu vs Lucario.

Notice in the background of the Infernape image how there is stands? This could either be at a Gym Battle(99% Sunnyshore) or the League. Now seeing as the League stadium would be packed, I'm gonna go with the gym, meaning we will soon either have Ash's Infernape or we will see Flint's.

[mitchman_93]

Anyone else amazed at how natural Gible looks hanging onto ash's head with its teeth?

[OrangeJumpsuit1]

A couple of things:

1. I like that Gible starts eating TR machines but you know TR are going to "eat-proof" their machines somehow (which should be funny).

2. I am a little surprised that Ash is getting an InfernoApe. I thought that if any of Ash's pokemon would evolve it would be Buziel. I guess is time for the InfernoApe threads <Sigh>.

3. Someone mentioned that steel types are better than dragon types. While probably in the games that is correct, the anime always seemed to hype up dragon types.

[Shneak]

Wow. I wonder who that is?

[V Faction]

btw, Pikachu battling Lucario is probably just part of a battling montage similar to the one from Spurt! or Ready Go! ( especially Ready Go!) or the scene from Challenger where Pikachu and Combusken battled Guardevoir and...some other Pok&#233;mon.

That would be Gardevoir and Hariyama, my friend.

I'm afraid those empty stands are the same generic empty stands that they've used for ANY of the openings. It's simply meant to portray a place of battle (in this case, a stadium) for Ash's Pokemon to go up against other Pokemon.

I still need to watch the episode myself, so comments on that later.

As far as Dragon-type superiority, it stems from all sorts of things if you think about it. Stuff like the legends surrounding them, the rarity they've carried since the days of RBY, their weird type match-ups.... I mean, it could honestly be a good number of reasons. I doubt we'll find out. Personally, I am not into the whole fanclub of Dragon-types being extrodinary for the sake of being extrodinary.

As a quick aside, I humbly suggest we keep any Infernape speculation to a bare minimum.

I will go with Flint's Infernape. IMO they are going to save the moment of Monferno evolving for the league.

and this was one funny episode...they really are doing the whole Giovanni thing more unreasonable in every episode haa...?

[soccerstar19]

How much of the new opening was shown. Another thing I read thru the posts quickly what move does gible know brick break or slash. I really hope it's slash then it learns brick break while it's with him. I personally think that inferape is ashes due to the fact when there is a an empty staidum who's pokemon do with normally see battling..... Ash verus someone. Can someone post the other pics of whatever was shown of the opening

[TeddiUrsa]

That would be Gardevoir and Hariyama, my friend.

Ah, Gardevoir...I should have picked French instead of Latin 10 years ago...what a strange language.

I don´t know how I could forget Hariyama, especially with Cyber´s Makuhita avatar around. I wonder when he´ll trun into a Hariyama, I need more jingles!


Another fun moment of today´s episode was Jun crashing into Satoshi with his bike. Why wear helmets and other protection when you can demand redemption anytime you accidently hit someone? Having a famous father helps a lot these days.

[S.Suikun]

Everyone, this thread is for discussing the actual episode itself. If you want to discuss the new opening, please do so here.

For the record, Japanese openings do not use footage from actual episodes, so don't think that the stands in the Infernape shot mean a thing.

Glad they finally threw Barry a bone after getting defeated by Ash a few times before, and then undoubtedly the league. An understandable loss given the extremes of training of each Pokemon n(a bunch to none at all), though.

[V Faction]

Okay, by far, THE funniest part of this episode, bar none, was the Draco Meteor-slapped-into-Piplup segment. Not the Team Rocket antics, not Ash jumping like a moron, not Barry getting snacked on by Gible.

Nope, I don't want to hear your arguments, because as of this point they are rendered INVALID. Piplup hiding behind a tree out of fear from Draco Meteor and then getting viciously SMACKED by it for good measure is now the highlight of the episode.

In fact, someone please get a nice, juicy screenshot.

[uber gon]

So has Gible mastered Draco Meteor yet?

[JohnLee]

Well I must say this episode was quite amusing.

-Barry hits a pedestrian (Ash) with his bike. Barry is NOT safe to be behind the wheel of any mode of transportation.
-Gible showing no respect for any kind of authority as he is shown to bite Ash's head numerous times, Barry's head, Barry's hand, and my personal favorite, biting down on Officer Jenny's head.
-Gible vs. Barry's bike. Gible wins. LOL
-Ash catches the Giblet
-Nice to see Barry winning a battle with Ash.

This episode was hilarious throughout! Among those:

-Piplup running away when Gible was preparing draco meteor.
-The face of Piplup whenever he thinks he's safe.
-Empoleon knocking the draco meteor right towards Piplup behind the tree!

[RickHoenn]

So Barry does have 6 badges! i thought after all this time he would be tied with Ash!

Finally Ash catches a Dragon Type ^_^ omg the next episode seems boring but the new opening looks awesome.

[STICKTOPIA]

This was an amazing episode. Piplup should have just stayed next to Dawn in that battle. At least she didn't go all "piplup no!!!!" this time. I knew Ash was gonna lose that battle but Gible did ok for its 1st battle with Ash. I thought the flashback of that 6 on 6 battle would be shown in this episode. Idk how Ash can hold Gible with all that iron in its body. Another bike destroyed yet again but not by Pikachu this time. Ash successfully jumped over that bridge o_O.
