Minccino-Neat & Tidy (672)

This episode was a hundred times better in English. I'll admit that I was worried about Bianca's English VA, but there was nothing to worry about in the end. While I did think that her voice was a bit shrill at times, I still really liked it. I also like Minccino's dub voice, but Pignite's made me want to rip something. Seriously. Cilan and Iris managed to be in the background while not being completely bland, which was a nice change of pace. Overall, I loved the dubbed version of this episode. If only TPCi could be consistent with the rest of the dub :/

Shrill? Who else had a voice like that?

Who says she's got badges off them two? Well first in Striaton City she'd battle Cress since she started off with Tepig, thus giving her one disadvantage. Yes Pignite has an advantage over Lenora however she could have got an anime-exclusive gym badge, for example Barry had two unknown badges in his case. Ya never know.

Even if Bianca did challenge the Striaton Gym, I think the Gym Leaders said the trainer can choose whichever trainer they wanted to. At least in this case, this happened for Ash in the anime.

Umm aren't we forgetting the badge cases have preset 8 badges spaces. I'm thinking there are no anime exclusive gyms in unova.

I'm pretty sure that Bianca is a few years older than Ash; therefore, she's taller. In Black/White the player characters, Cheren, and Bianca all seem to be teenagers (or at least 12-year-olds).

I'd give this episode a 10/10, just because of Bianca's awesome character. She's a lot like her game counterpart really. I loved how disorganized, excitable, and ditsy she was. Minccino was cute and smart; his capture was interesting too. Bianca catching Minccino was about as interesting as May catching Munchlax.

And the quote of the day:
Cilan: "Oh no! My clean spoon!"
Sorry about your spoon, Cilan.

Did we even see Bianca's badge case? If she doesn't have one then she can have whatever badges she wants. Even so, we saw Barry's badge case in Sinnoh and his mystery badges fit fine. Bianca could just have a different badge case than Ash, allowing her to have diffeent badges.

This was a really great episode. Bianca is a fun character who kept me interested the whle time with her wackiness. She different from her game counterpart, but that doesn't disappoint me. I'm a bit iffy on the voice, but I'm sure I'll get use to it. Cilan and his spoon also made me laugh; it reminded me of James and his bottle caps (I wonder if he still collects them). It would have been funny if after Ash fell off the tree Cilan asks him if he is alright, only for Ash to realize Cilan was talking to his cooking utensils. That would be a funny scene if it existed.

As great as the episode was, I wish the battle at the end of the episode wasn't as short. They could easily cut out the TR scene, as it isn't important to know that they are in Nacrene City - we would of found out the next episode they're in. Anywho, I don't like how Pignite launches three attacks at Pikachu while Pikachu just wins with a single Volt Tackle. I realize Pikachu is plot powered, but I'd perfer to see some back and forth between the two Pokemon before the fininshing blow.

All in all, a great episode. I can't wait for Bianca's next appearance. Also, Ash should have gotten an Xtransiever.

I think they're 15 years old or something. Also, I agree with the 10/10, although she could have introduced herself better. I had to check my memory if they had met her before. Other than that, Bianca was really funny.

Easily can be a bunch of different kinds of badge cases out there. Pretty sure there were badge cases with 8 badge outline design in them during DP, yet Nando and Barry got Anime only badges.

It makes more sense Bianca got at less one anime only badge.

Anyways, Bianca's voice was great here for me. Fits her perfectly. Pignite I thought sounded a little strange though.

Bianca is so awesome, loved her in here.

Bianca is so ugly!!!! That does make sense though, the ugliest character in the game/show has the ugliest pokemon in the game/show XD

There is no logic to your reason that it's not even funny.

**ZeroKyurem** · 3rd May 2011, 1:42 AM

Wow, after i seen this episodem I felt......foolish. Why? Because i've been saying Minccino wrong. I wonder if I'm saying Cinccino wrong, too. (Kin-kein-o)

i would still totally <censored, censored> <viewer discretion in affect> she might seem like the old fashion lady but that doesn't make her unattractive.

edit- o wait you meant mancinno thought you meant pignite nvm hes bieng sarcastic

**Lance The Champ** · 3rd May 2011, 8:50 AM

Finally some of Pikachu's real power was shown.... anyone would think it got weaker after coming to Unova

I disagree with your opinion.

I see nothing wrong for either of them in terms of looks.

I agree with you there. It was getting annoying seeing people complain about Pikachu beating Pignite.

**Rebeccag** · 7th May 2011, 12:32 AM

LOVED this episode Bianca is an great character loved how she was obsessed about keeping things dirty, loved her scattyness and how Iris kept getting mad at her. I think she and Ash could have a good friendship/rivalry going on there but how did she get 2 badges i agree!. Haha.

**SphealsFTW** · 7th May 2011, 7:35 PM

When I first saw Minccino in game, I never really liked it ;P. However, after watching this episode I think Cinos are really awesome ^^. I loved its voice and moves. And I thought it was really cool how it "accidently" caught itself by rubbing the pokeball.

**TheEpicGoomba** · 7th May 2011, 10:14 PM

Minccino was so cute. I'm glad it was caught and even more pleased that it was by a rival. The debut of Bel was nice Bel is more of my favorite rival's she is so clumsy.

**~~BurningSociety12345543210~~** · 31st May 2011, 1:48 AM

1. Pignite looked cool in the Anime in my opinion.
2. Minccino was funny. n_n
3. Oh no!! THE SPOON IS DIRTY! HELP! SOMEBODY, HELP US! (sarcastic)
4. Bianca was annoying.

EDIT: What is my problem?! I didn't even say anything about the capture or the battle.

That was a weird capture. Bianca could have at least battled Minccino, but that's ok, I guess. It was sort of funny.

I really liked the battle. It's sort of like the games, where your rival randomly says "Hey, let's battle!" and then you KO their pokemon in one hit. Pignite might have been "strong" but it obviously wasn't any match for Pikachu in that battle.

6/10
