Scraggy-Hatched to Be Wild (676)

[Sponge]

I liked how all of Ash's pokemon worked together at the end to save Zuruggu....you don't usually see pokemon with such good teamwork....and Ash didn't have to command them. It was really cool to see that they could fight without his guidance sometimes. (You could argue they fight better when he's not guiding them )

I'd like more scenes like this, it makes me wonder what the anime would be like if more pokemon were outside their pokeballs at once.

I'm glad that Scraggy ended up hatching instead of Meguroko now.

[Littlemyuu]

Scraggy! yay its a really cute Pokémon, im glad it hatched..it suits Ash =P

[Mr Retro]

good episode liked the Scraggy Vs Axew "battle"

[The Eleventh]

Wow. TPCi are being slightly careless with their episode titles. They've spoiled what hatches from the egg with this title, and also spoiled Tepig's appearance as the mysterious Pokémon back in episode four. O_o

Scraggy is hardly meant to be a surprise; doesn't he actually hatch before the titles?

EDIT: No, not quite, but certainly within the first five minutes; hardly a massive spoiler.

Mind you, if the Japanese had done this, the whole Scraggy/Sandile/Sewaddle saga would never have happened.

This episode was alright. It was cool to see Zuruggu and Denchura for the 1st time. It was great to see Zuruggu hatch from the egg. Zurrugu is one tough Pokemon. It loves to Headbutt every Pokemon it meets. It was funny when Tsutarja used Vine Whip to keep Zuruggu at a distance. Mijumaru's reaction to the Headbutt was very funny. Zuruggu definitely was getting into a lot of trouble with the Denchura. It was cool to see the other Pokemon work together to save Zuruggu, even after the headbutting.

69/100

Yes Scraggy I didn't expect him but i'm glad. Also cool to see Galvantula for the first time. Axew seemed so excited to be a big brother. Funny when Ash introduced Scraggy to the rest of the team especially Oshawott and Snivy. 9/10

[SphealsFTW]

The episode was average :].
However, this episode made me dislike Scraggies o.o.
I found Ash's Zuruggu very... annoying. It was reckless and rude :l. (At least in my opinion.)

However, I liked seeing Pokabu, Snivy, and Miju rescue him ^^. They were epic. And it was also really cool to see the Dentulas (one of the trainers should've caught one ;P).

[Mr.Munchlax]

The English dub is airing tomorrow. Am I the only one hoping to God that the Galvantula keep their Japanese voices?

[MidnightMelody]

Anyone else find Iris extremely hot in those pjs?

Also loved Oshawott's reaction after being headbutted! "I'm going to kill you!"

Now that I understand the dialogue...

This episode is just really poorly written. You could tell whoever came up with this episode started with the idea that Scraggy and Axew needed to develop a relationship, and really didn't put too much effort into developing a scenario for that. I'm not sure what type of pacing this series is on, but it's really hard to develop a really good relationship in just one episode; that's what this episode tries to do, and it's just really corny.

I liked Ash's dialogue and characterization-except for the ridiculous scene where he doesn't even care where Scraggy is going (but I've covered that)-, and I think Iris as well has a pretty good outing. My favorite part was the bit of dialogue when Iris criticized Scraggy's lack of moveset, with Ash then pointing out that Axew was in the same boat. That's one of the few times when Ash has seemed more experienced than Iris, which is nice (also what was nice was that Ash didn't call Iris a little kid when he made that remark).

This episode again doesn't have any sort of moral to it, though there were several possible things the episode could really focus on. In the end, though, it just doesn't focus on anything, and it's hard to be an impactful episode when that's the case.

Pretty cool episode. It's nice that Ash got a Scraggy and I think it is cool how Scraggy thinks he is so tough, when he really isn't. Seeing Pidove is always a good thing and of course Oshawott would get a high amount of attention. Galvantula did seem a bit random, but I liked the battle with Pikachu, Pidove, Oshawott, Tepig & Snivy VS The Galvantulas.
9/10

Does anybody know what Iris mean when she said, "I wonder......."?

[SmartD]

It's a good episode. The egg hatches into Scraggy, which acts all tough and doesn't want to hang around with anyone. Scraggy gets paralyzed by wild Galvantula, but recovers. Scraggy tries to fight the Galvantula again, but saved by Ash's Pokemon. Scraggy fights Axew, but ends in a tie. Can't wait for the next episode.

Most likely about them being training partners.

[Articuno_rocks]

It seriously never occurred to me that a newly hatched Pokemon would refuse to join his trainer's party. Scraggy surprised me; he was really quite different from the other hatched Pokemon.

Axew and Scraggy being training partners was an excellent idea. Both being Level 1 (after all, they just hatched out of their eggs), they are equally matched.

By the way, Scraggy reminds me of a gangster-type kid with sagging pants who acts all tough but really isn't.

Hmm... I think I'd give this episode an 8.5/10.

-So have I and i'm black. But overall, this was a decent ep. Scraggy is a cool Pokemon to have and liked his interactions with the other Pokemon, especially Oshawott.

-It still feels weird to see Team Rocket less and less in each episode and not interacting with Ash and Co. This week though they were on a little bit more though.

- Man, I'm feeling Galvantula's voice. I swear it sounds like Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget.

- All in all I'll give it a 8/10

Finally, the egg hatches and Ash has his first dark typed pokemon and it's even the primary type even though I think that has no significance whatsoever lol. But what's this? Scraggy is a bit startled and begins to cause some shenanigans (ooo nice word, some people will get what I mean by this). We have battles, runaway baby pokemon, scary galvantula's, the teamwork of Ash's pokemon and many many more shenanigans but I feel that the list has gone on long enough.

Oh wait, Ash hasn't caught the little guy yet? Is it just me or does anyone else think that the writers suddenly thought that they forgot to give the little guy a pokeball because I can recall Ash trying to 'return' scraggy to it's pokemon previously in the episode, but that might be a dubbing error or i'm imagining things that didn't happen.

I really enjoyed this episode, and I'm pretty sure scraggy knew his 'mummy/daddy' as soon as he/she hatched so I just presumed that Ash was going to get the hatched pokemon from previous episodes. The battle I guessed half way thought because you noticed that Axew had a shine for Scraggy because he realised it was weak. Also, the 'fight' they had before the battle I think was just because Axew didn't like being ignored when he was trying to make a friend/battle partner/etc. I wish scraggy all the best in future episodes, i'm looking forward to it.

I really like Galvantula's dub voice. Very creepy!

Scraggy is still not one of my faves though.
