Minccino-Neat & Tidy (672)

[The sandwich]

Well first in Striaton City she'd battle Cress since she started off with Tepig, thus giving her one disadvantage.

Umm, no. That's only in the games.

I'm glad Pikachu beat Pignite.

I just watched this episode just to learn how to pronounce Minccino!

Did anyone else notice in this video around 5:00, Bianca says "that ***** is totally tough" here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odc79uX7HRs

Lol?

All I heard from Bianca there was "Pikachu is totally tough". Not sure what's funny about that.

I think Electric heard it wrong.

I think Electric heard it wrong.

It really does sound like the b word, I'm pretty sure Bianca isn't saying Pikachu at that point. Unless I have a hearing problem, I don't her "Pikachu" but the b word. This isn't the first time the dubbers have snuck curse words into the anime

I loved this episode, Mincinno was terribly cute using tickle to get her attackers of balance...I mean that's not even an attack. right?^.^I like Bianca's fun personality and in the end when that Mincinno couldn't resist the filthy pokeball and actually got caught while cleaning it...lol

I like the part when snivy is in love with minccino. Minccino looks handsome.

Nice to see Pikachu win after losing so often in the episodes before this. And it was a 1HKO, which makes it even better. Snivy getting hit with Attract was funny. The writers tried to do that joke again with Excadrill in a later episode but it was just creepy.

Funniest episode ever, or at least in the top ten!

I know Minccino isn’t easy to spell, but c’mon, dubbers... I always edit my work before I turn it in; you can too. But it’s not too big of a deal: actually, that just gave me a grin.

Anyway, I absolutely loved this episode, but that shouldn’t be too surprising since Bianca is my favorite character in the games and one of my favorites in the anime. (Her expression while digging through her dirty bag was cute!) Let me make a bunch of random observations about the episode. First, I wonder if Cilan won any fans by going shirtless for a bit. Second, did Ash really need to do a victory pose when he got the badge case? He’s such a kid. Third, I find it interesting that neat freak Minccino was okay sticking an object in it’s mouth. Guess it isn’t a germophobe. Fourth, it was funny when Ash went thud after Bianca suggested just getting a replacement case. Fifth, it was super funny when tough-looking Pignite acted all dainty, just like Bianca.

Sixth, I loved when Bianca got all excited and told the Pokémon to do random moves. She’s always a laugh. Seventh, even though I think Minccino is probably smarter than its new trainer, it was clever of Bianca to bait it with a dirty spoon. Poor Cilan, all emo over a spoon. It was hilarious when Minccino just got up and walked away after getting “trapped”! Eighth, Bianca was so funny when she admitted to being Daddy’s little girl! She’s always so peppy. Ninth, it was hilarious when Minccino got all studly and seduced Snivy: what goes around comes around. Tenth, I thought Ash would have Pikachu use an electric move on Minccino right away when it was in shallow water... But I guess they don’t make ‘em too smart in Kanto, or at least that’s what Trip would say.

Eleventh, it was nice of Ash to let Bianca have Minccino. She sure loves cute Pokémon, and Minccino is one of the cutest this generation, especially when it tickles someone! Twelfth, Bianca’s “capture” was super funny, a nice way to wrap things up. Thirteenth, I liked how the classic pan-on-head gag was pulled on Ash (it happened to Pikachu in the Tepig episode too). Fourteenth, I liked the Pokémon Center BGM, taken from the games. Fifteenth, I was glad to see good ol’ Pikachu win the match. And finally, Bianca was funny when she made her sudden departure.

Whew, that’s my longest episode review ever, but this is one of my favorite episodes ever, so that’s appropriate. I love this anime, I really do.

Yaaaay, the debut of Bianca. At least while Trip makes me yearn for Paul to come back, Bianca's high energy has kept me from missing the delightful Barry too much. I like the animation when she talks about how her dad didn't want to leave the house for so long, it was cute. And at least they avoided the cliche of all the naturally cute pokemon being female. But why do they have to have Ash's badges get stolen yet again? That is such a WAY overused plotline. At least Whiscash and Ash was a gem, but there's only so many times they can repeat that plot.

8/10

And at least they avoided the cliche of all the naturally cute pokemon being female.

So Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Cyndaquil, Geodude, Horsea, Treecko, Torchic, Corphish, Turtwig, Starly, Piplup, Chimchar, Oshawott, Tepig, Axew, Scraggy, Pansage Trip's Snivy weren't cute? I don't think your statement is very accurate, as that cliche never existed to begin with.
