A Sandile Gusher of Change (662)

[Mr.Munchlax]

Not all filllers of Johto were bad, there were some neat episodes, don't generalize.

Yeah, and now that there aren't as many fillers anymore, I'm actually starting to miss them & enjoy them

[Cobalt_Latios]

Thats not the point I was trying to get across. What I was trying to say is that the episode should not be solely compared to previous sagas which was the case with CC's post. I think the episode should be given some credit on its own, or in some cases no credit if it may be.

Makes sense. I guess I was trying to juggle two different opinions at once, and didn't really know which to go with.

I totally agree that it is inevitable that there will be comparison to other sagas I do it, but I think the episode should be commented without comparision even if its just a little bit.

Fair enough.

Really now? Really? They only started rhymed in the Pusa dub. sure at times they rhymed in the original dub but Pusa killed in. However there doing a great job with keeping this new series a direct version of the Japanese.

Wait, are you serious? Team Rocket always rhymed in the original dub.

Prepare for trouble
And make it double
To protect the world from devastation
To unite all people within our nation
To denounce the evils of truth and love
To extend our reach to he stars above
Jesse, James (only part that doesn't rhyme)
Team Rocket, blasts off at the speed of light
Surrendr now, or prepare to fight
Meowth, that's right.

The whole motto in the original dub was a rhyme after rhyme.

I think AuraMaster's talking about them rhyming outside of the motto, for example:

Four Roads Diverged in a Pokemon Port: "What a Way to Beat the Heat! Cool & Calm & Rich!"

Or any of those other cheers they did after a boss fantasy

Battling a Thaw in Relations: "Infernape's Up! So Are We! A Happier Team You'll Never See!! Help the Twerp, Make the Bad Guy Slurp (or whatever that last word was)!!"

WOW

Just saw the Dutch Dub Version of this episode on DisneyXD Netherlands.

The Dutch voices seem to fit more than the English ones.

The strange thing was that the Dutch version did have ''Who's that Pokémon'' this episode, it was Sandile...

[IatosHaunted]

I just watched the episode, and I don't know whether to laugh or be pissed that sandile stole the squirtle squad motif.

[FlyAsADunsparce]

I do wonder why the Dutch version did have ''who's that pokémon'' in this episode, when the American didn't have one. Maybe Cartoon Network just messed up?

[travisjb90]

This was another great episode. Oshawott was awesome once again. I liked how Ash and Iris were trying to run faster than each other and arguing over who was following who. Iris was cool and funny in this episode. Sandile was cool and it was very cool of him and his group to try and save the Pokemon and everyone. I am glad Ash got Oshawott. I like how Iris saved Ash, that was very cool! I was sad when there was not Whos That Pokemon. Hopefully next episode will have it. I thought this was an awesome episode. This is such an awesome season. I can't wait until next episode.

I guess (P.O.K.E.M.O.N.) was right.

[Rebeccag]

Enjoyed the episode liking the friendship of Ash And Iris. Glad that Ash got Oshawott and its quite cute as well. Loving Sandlle and liked how it saved the other pokemon as well. Liked the use of hot springs being used again as well and Dan wasnt that annoying really I found him quite cool.

[Littlemyuu]

saw this ep yesterday, i really liked it...Oshawott is so cute

[Lance The Champ]

Good to see Oshawott joining Ash's Unova team

[hawkmbl]

I am surprised this is one of the very few fillers in Black and White. It's good to see the writers changing their motives.

I was really hoping Ash would catch the sandile with glasses though, it would be like the squirtle squad squirtle he caught in the first season, though it's still good he got Oshawott though.

How is it filler if Ash recieved/caught Oshawott in this episode?

[The sandwich]

It's not a filler.

[BurningSociety12345543210]

Ash captured Oshawott. The episode isn't filler.

[TheEpicGoomba]

I liked this episode. I'm glad Ash caught Oshawott. Sunglasses Sandile makes his debut he is one of my more favorite Pokemon. 7.5/10

[Sert908]

Squirtle squad much?

[TurtwigFan1]

Enjoyed this episode, the Sandile were awesome! I thought the COD (Dan was it?) had a weird voice but that might just be me. Really glad to see Oshawott joining Ash's team, I love that Pokémon!

[BurningSociety12345543210]

Squirtle squad much?

What would a Squirtle be doing in Unova?

[celebitrainer]

What would a Squirtle be doing in Unova?

He's saying that it's just like the Squirtle Squad because it is a group of troublesome wild Pokemon of the same species all being led by one wearing sunglasses.

What I don't get in this episode is just why was Sandile magnetic? TR was able to pick up Sandile with that magnetic crane thing even though Sandile isn't a Steel-type or holding any metal (except maybe the screws holding the sunglasses together).

[Mythicalzoe]

This episode made me love Sandile that is all

It's not really like the Squirtle Squad, because Sandile doesn't want Ash to capture him.

Oshawott sort of reminded me of Pachirisu in this episode......also Ash trying to swim in boiling water? I didn't think he was THAT dumb. O_o Nice to see SG Sandile (Pikachu's rival) for the first time even though it never appeared in many episodes...... 6/10

[ForgottenPearl]

Cool episode. Like other people, I was having flashbacks to earlier episodes. Iris and Ash bickering brought back fond memories of Misty, Oshawott's capture failing sorta reminded me of Charmander, and the Squirtle Squad glasses, of course. Not the exact same or anything, but it did tickle my nostalgia bone.

I thought it was super funny when Ash got zapped due to Oshawott's dodge at the beginning. ^_^ I enjoyed the episode overall, though I thought Sandile's voice could have been better. It seemed kinda off... Can't say why. :/

[wobbanut]

Yay, the capture of Oshawott. I love that little guy. It's funny that it's the first time Ash didn't get the grass starter first, and his first lab pokemon since Pikachu. Plus, we get the debut of the sandile that Ash is about to catch in current U.S. episodes.

7/10
