Minccino-Neat & Tidy (672)

[gliscor&yanmega]

I didnt like that part because it made him look weak. Either don't care about it, or tell her to use her own dirty items.

Weak? No it didn't. Shows he's passionate over cooking, so much he likes his spoons and that clean. I like to cook so that's something me and him can relate to, I'm not as enthusiastic and passionate like he is but I'm close enough. He didn't know what she wanted it for anyways, if he knew what it was going to be used for he probably would have a second thought. Can't help but think you're just trying to bash him.

They are absent from the episodes. If it followed the games they would have appeared twice by now. They could also say "some group is here too" but it is not affecting the main plot.

They are absent from the episode physically but they have been acknowledged to be in Unova like I said. Their plot will most likely be the same, get Reshiram and/or Zekrom. It's just they aren't doing the minor missions they were doing in the games, doesn't effect them much.

Team Plasma will eventually come fully into the show where Ash and that will probably stop them. But they aren't completely absent from the show like you said.

I wonder what inside the egg ash has

It's Meguroco most likely. In my opinion.

[Maxim]

They aren't completely absent, they have been acknowledge to be in Unova by Giovanni.

You can't always believe mentions in this anime.

It's not that they were mentioned by name or something.

So, even if they appear, their role will still be nowhere as big as it is in the games.

[Rizardon]

Chaobuu got...one-shotted by a Volt Tackle, lol. I hope she becomes a more competent battler in the future when fighting Ash, she's a fun rival.

[Roprinplup14]

Maybe your right

[Platinum fan.]

The episode itself was kind of meh, but man did Belle/Bel (however you spell it) make it so much better. She can't possibly be ten...can she? Oh well who cares, I enjoyed it if only for Belle/Bel. First time I watched a Best Wishes episode where Team Rocket was not the highlight of the episode for me. If she is a rival I figured she'd be the punching bag rival who always loses then get's a pity win to make some kind of impact like Barry/Kenny/Harley but I don't even care that she lost because I enjoyed her especially how she loses things in her bag and there all dirty. I'll probably only watch Belle/Bel episode's but this one was actually worth seeing if only for her. Yup I'm a Belle/Bel fanboy.

I think it's very safe to assume Team Plasma is the one that was being mentioned. The fact they are the only organization that is working behind the shadows in Unova pretty much spells it out. Implication is something used in many many shows of all varieties. This is one of those cases.

They will appear, all past groups have appeared. They will still seek Reshiram and Zekrom, and want Pokemon to be free. Remember it's only been 13 episodes so far. There is plenty of time left.

They will appear.

But this is off topic so back on topic-I really like Belle's character. She's very odd and I like that. I'm hoping we get more knowledge about her character as she appears later.

Judging from the fact Plasma is completely absent, no.

This is episode 14 of BW. Galactic did not arrive till ep 36 of DP and if you dare hide behind the fact that this series is suppose to be faster paced then thats a gay thing to say since in Kanto Ash had three badges by now. All faster paced means is not many fillers. This region could take as long as Hoenn. Which is somewhere to be 121 I believe.

[Teshub]

Weak? No it didn't. Shows he's passionate over cooking, so much he likes his spoons and that clean.

Then he should have given that girl a stern talking about messing up his precious silverware instead of acting all submissive. It's not bashing, just because someone is fabulous doesn't mean they need to be light in the loafers. Harley was also fab but he didnt take guff from anyone.

You must have a magic ball or something. Because so far Team Rocket have virtually supplanted Plasma in their scheming role.

Excuse me but i did not just see you using gay in a derogatory way. You are just beyond rude, im reporting you.

I didn't I ment it as stupid, idiotic, retarded and I ment your view on Plasma not you as a person. So I fail to see how that is an insult of any kind.

Look up the word "gay", using it to mean "Stupid" or anything of the sort is offensive. Other then that I agree with what you're saying.

But that's not in Dento's nature. He's not a mean guy.

Magic ball has nothing to do with it. It's common sense. Giovanni has already said twice there is a mysterious organization in Unova. Add the fact that the anime closely follows the game and how all "Evil" groups from the past appeared, all points to Team Plasma being the organization. Also, just like the past organization they had they same goal as they did in the game. So Team Plasma will be in the anime, they will be on the hunt for Zekrom and Reshiram, and they will want Pokemon to be freed, the writers know what they are doing.

Uhuh, so gay = stupid, idiotic, retarded, then? It's better for you if you dont say anything further.

You still used the word with negative connotation.

[MidnightMelody]

All I know is in my school I hear people calling each other gay and they laugh about it. Its pretty much just like calling someone an idiot in a friendly manner. did not know people actually take offense to it. But getting back on topic is it possilbe Bel could be Barry's sister? They look alike and there nature is a bit alike too. Also due to them being game characters.

[RickHoenn]

Judging from the fact Plasma is completely absent, no.

That's ********. Giovanni acknowledged them.

Excuse me? where were first Team Galactic appearance?

and they totally skipped some of the parts TG appeared in the games.

Gay has two meanings:
1)Happy
2)Attraction to same gender

Using it in the following means is offense, and can be taken as homophobic:
1)Calling someone "Stupid"
2)Saying something "Sucks"
3)Purposely calling someone gay to insult them in a way that you personally thing it's nasty
4)Anything in a similar situation

Using it in those ways makes you ignorant, among being rude and offensive. You should always be careful with what you say because it's very easy to hurt someone's feelings.

If you think something is "stupid" then just say that, a lot less offense.


On topic-Belle being Barry's sister is very unlikely if you're being serious. Looking a like and acting a like doesn't mean anything, a lot of people who aren't related act the same and look the same, and even people who are related can be very different in both looks and personality. I don't think it was ever mentioned in the games they were related, and when you add the fact they each have a different father(Assuming it's their biological father), they can't be more then half brother and sister.

Thats right. I forgot about Palmer.

Plasma can show up in Unova. But my comment was to the person who was hoping this series will follow the game more closely. The obvious answer is, No. If it was following the game more than previous generation we would have seen Plasma a while ago.
In that sense it is on par with DP. The fans should cut down a bit on the incredible scenarios they are hoping to happen. If you are expecting an epic battle between Plasma and TR and N and who knows what else, you are setting yourself for disappointment when all we get is a tiny Plasma arc.

[wind21]

Some of the scenes really made me laugh (on the inside). I think this episode has a nice little charm to it.
This victory for Ash reminds me of the victory over Nando at the start of Sinnoh, and it's nice to finally see him take a step forward since his battle against Paul at the Sinnoh League. A pokemon other than Pikachu to win it would have been reallly impressive to show he's still training a little, but at least this is better than nothing.

[riosuave]

This may have been my favorite episode ever, it was hilarious.

Bel may also be my new favorite character.

[Wanizaru]

We all can wish can't we Teshub? But, you are most likely right. If the anime follows the games complete, than that would mean before the plasma arc ends, Ash would have to beat the league and we all know that can't happen.
