So from this episode we understand that Brook's job of cooking is transfered to Dento for BW & his skills of healing pokemon is given to Iris.

[Pepsi_Plunge]

Argh damn Im seeing the episode and while I though it was a good idea, seeing now the actual interaction between Dent, Ishizumai and Yannpu I really want Dent to get it, lets hope he does.

Nice to see Iris doing medicine to heal Yannapu yeah.

[Ash-kid]

Ash and Co didn't meet TR, AGAIN. I can't even understand what's they're doing.

It looked more like a Dento episode for a few moments, due to Yanappu's injury, but it wasn't. But Ishizumai got his shell and it was fine, thanks to the friends' help of course.

And good that he caught it.

[Pepsi_Plunge]

Heck yeah, Dent got it awesome!!!!!!

It was so hinted that if he wasnt caught after the episode I would really rage here XD.

[Lucario At Service]

So, Dento caught the Ishizumai at the end (well, Ishizumai was the one who chose to go with him).

[Pepsi_Plunge]

It was a fun episode, I loved Ishizumai smartness when battling the other 3, I was seeing Dent encouraging him and helping him giving orders I was like "oh come on" let it be caught.

Really nice episode, Team Rocket gets new info from the Flint, Iris is shown doing medicine, Dent catches Ishizukai, really nice and eventfull episode.

[RageKaiser]

Sweet my favorite character caught one of my favorite Unova pokemon! This is a good day for me XD

[realarcastform]

Well we know its ability which is pretty cool! Broken Armor! A Dream World ability!!
Spunky little hermit crab ain't he?
I'm kinda glad he's a member of the team. Not only is he a Bug type, he's also a Rock type.
Here's hoping for Dent and Yuniran. Ash gets an egg next eppy!!

[SoulSilverMstr411]

Wasn't around this time in the OC that Ash caught another crustacean pokemon?

[uber gon]

So X-Scissor got a new animation. Sweet.

[Mayfan]

Dento got it? AWESOME!

[Gaiash]

Halfway through looking at the screenshots I started thinking "Please let Dento catch it. It's so adorable and they seem to get along so well" and then when he caught it I smiled.

[Crystal_Power]

So Dento caught a Ishizumai? Interesting...
You know they're actually kinda cute too.

[Sabonea_Masukippa]

-Dento describing how to make potato salad at the start was ... man, I feel like potato salad.
-Aw, Dento wants to finish his speech, but Iris wants to eat. She prefers her sandwiches un-cut.
-Dento's dead eyes watching Ash eat...creepy man. Creepy.
-Kibago hears (?) something and wants to go investigate, but Pikachu is not keen (probably because of a certain centepede...).
-Dento and Iris are excited at seeing the Ishizumai make it's house. Pikachu and Ash look like stunned mullets. 'They make their own houses by themselves?!" "Pika~"
- Cute that it has to make an extra scrape to fit its tail in perfectly.
-Surprise! Iris thinks it's cute.
-'Yanappu! Dig and chase after those Ishizumai!'
-Ishizumai running away from the trio is one of the cutest things ever. No, really.
-After hurting Yanappu, it comes up to apologise and Ash says 'We know you didn't mean any harm' and Dento adds 'You had your house stolen and were upset, right?'
-No, really - this thing is too cute.
-TR have to break into the lab in the hologram and steal data.
-Just as Ishizumai is enjoying his food, Yanappu gets sick.
-Iris says she knows a lot about medicinal plants.
-If Yanappu takes the medicine and rests for the night he'll be fine, according to Iris.
-Ishizumai is made to feel guilty as hell. Dento reassures it, and says that it's Ok and not to worry about it.
-This lab is mighty protected.
-James is now a computer hacker, making light work of the password. They begin to download the required data.
-'Kibago! Don't let them get away!' Good one Iris - what's Kibago gonna do - sneeze at them? Actually, that might work...
-Kibago is smarter than your average bear and sees through the Ishizumai's hiding spots.
-Ishizumai refuses Pikachu's help, Ash translates for the audience.
-Ash realises they need to split up the 3 Ishizumai, Dent decides his food will do the trick.
-Evil Ishizumai #1 uses Scissor Cross and gets crushed and blasted off by a boulder. Seems fair.
-Then he gets taken out with a Scissor Cross and a Fury Cutter (?). Dento thinks the combination is spicy. Uhuh. Spicy. A Spicy Combination.
-Next one is trapped in a narrow gap in the rocks and gets hit with a Cross Scissor from behind.
-He stops mid-attack on the Boss Ishizumai because he doesn't want to damage the house he made.
-Ishizumai trapped the boss with a low-mini bridge thing and then Scissor Cross.
-Hooray for Shell Break.
-TR give Flint the data, he compliements them, but they really don't care.
-The gang goes to leave the Ishizumai on its lonesome. Ishizumai doesn't want a bar of it. Dent is thick and Iris has to explain that it wants to come with Dent
-'Captured Ishizumai - Tastes Good!' (Lit: Ishizumai Gotten - Good Taste!')

Fun ep. Ishizumai is too cute, even if it sounds ever so slightly odd, but still the even the voice is cute.

[Krizor]

I was pretty surprised that Dento caught Ishizumai, I never expected him to get that.

It was also good to learn that Iris has medical skills.

This episode wasn't too bad, I enjoyed it.

[playerking]

So Dento caught it, i thought so, it's nice. Hmm so flint complimented Team Rocket and Team rocket rejected it they really are serious. I'm so happy Ishizumai is apart of the cast and Ash gets another Pokemon in the next episode.

[Edalborez]

Was wondering how Shell Break would appear in the anime. Quite impressed. Ishizumai has some fantastic character based on one episode, one of my favorites thus far. Made me like the little rock hermit crab :3 Hope he appears often enough compared to other traveling companions' Pokemon.

[garfield15]

I knew it. I told you he would get it/it would be a Dento episode but nooooooo. "It's just gonna be a random POTD" they said. Well HA!

But seriously, cute episode today.

(TRio breaking into the facility and stealing the data, I had this look on my face like ".....whoa...." Yeah, they totally completed a mission this time)

[Kirby2000]

Umm they manage to do that in the site of dreams.

'Jessie, James and Meowth successfully complete their mission of obtaining and transmitting data from the Site of Dreams.'

So that would be the second mission completed.

[gliscor&yanmega]

Amazing episode, worth the 2 week wait.

Team Rocket accomplished their mission in getting data on the Meteorite(I think). Flint was there too. They had a habit of just disappearing out of no where in this episode. Team Rocket just got more awesome in this episode.

Dento gets Ishizumai...it started to get obvious once Dento was playing a more important part in this episode.

It appears Iris knows a bit about healing Pokemon, interesting.

Ash didn't really do much in this episode, which is fine by me, allows other characters to get screen time.

Yanappu now knows Dig(It knew it before but we never saw it used it).

Ishizumai appears to know 5 moves(According to Bulbapedia):
Protect
Slash
Dig
X-Scissor
Shell Smash
I think it's ability was shown, I think it was Shell Armor, or maybe Sturdy...maybe even Broken Armor, I think Broken Armor makes more sense because of the way it was shown. I actually thought it was Swarm but it doesn't know that apparently.

Great episode.

[garfield15]

Oh I actually count that one too, but some people don't so I just wanted to put that out there.

[RickHoenn]

I'm so happy Dento catched Ishizumai, that lil thing is so cute!

Great episode, Iris doing medicine, Ash with shorts, Team Rocket completing missions! details like this are what makes an episode so enjoyable for me.

and fandumb's predictions about this being a filler or that Ishi was Potd FAIL as always...

[streetlightdsb]

Oh wow, Dento caught Ishizumai! I lost interest in this episode weeks ago, it looked like a sucky filler, but a capture's awesome.

I love how each series has less fillers than the last- the writers really are learning from their past mistakes.

[R_N]

Awww, Ishi went to Dento afterall. What a nice surprise.
