Saving Darmanitan From the Bell! (667)

[Arceusgamer14]

Darumaka and Darmantan were great in the episode.

But something bugs me with the waiter and the stranger that instructed TRio. Ether they are going to love what they'll do to the poor innocent humans and Pokémon. Or they might be Team Plasma spies that are gaining TR's Trust so they can attack.
(DAMN THE EARTHQUAKES!)

Hmm... I didn't like this episode as much as everyone else. To be honest, I think it's one of the weakest Unova episodes I've seen so far (though, to be fair, I've liked basically every Unova episode). I'm not saying it was a bad episode, but I had trouble getting into it. Some parts seemed like they were dragged out just to fill time.

The animation seemed really off at times. Ash looked really odd when the episode first started. And I thought the first scene where the two Darumaka stole the food was kinda dragged out, though I did think it was funny when Iris got burned. Don't get me wrong, I think she's awesome: I just liked the whole, "Ah, how cute..." BURN!! Irony. I also liked how Iris and Ash reacted to Cilan's comment that they're a lot alike: that was my favorite part of the episode. I've gotta admit that a little part of me is starting to support the ship between them, even though I've completely sided with Misty since the beginning... but I don't want to start a shipping argument here. It was also funny when the Darumaka were hiding on the ceiling corner behind Ash.

One thing I didn't get: why didn't the Darumaka just have a human follow them up to Darmanitan in the first place? If they got along with the people so well, shouldn't that have been possible? : /

Overall, I can't say I loved the episode, but it still had its moments. And, in my humble opinion, it's still above most of the episodes from past seasons, but I don't want to get into that debate either.

A nice simple solution that occurs to everyone, except the Darumaka...

This is the first filler episode of the series, and it was fairly standard, but still enjoyable (although my love of Darmanitan-Z may prove a little bit biased!)

I think possibly the best thing to come out of this episode was a) The Iris/Ash comparison, and more importantly b) TR build up...

Mmm, the darumakka were cute, but otherwise there wasn't much memorable about this episode. I did like Cilan saying that Ash and Iris are a lot alike, and they get mad at him. Classic.

6/10

I really enjoyed this episode! The Darumaka were totally cute! I love how Nurse Joy told the trio that the tower was going to be restored at the end and that the Darmanitan and Darumaka could live there, a happy ending for all. The Team Rocket plot is getting really interesting, I loved Jessie and James' comedy side but I also really love this new side of them.

I have nothing to say about the Darmanitan episode, there was nothing special about it. Although I didn't like how Cilan said Ash and Iris were a lot alike. wtf they act nothing like each other dude.....
