A Connoisseurs Revenge! (678)

Now that I've seen the episode clearly, Burgundy has become a new rival for Cilan,and quite a new enemy for Ash. Don't you agree?

I don't think her and Ash will have anymore to do with each other except for Ash just getting annoyed. Burgundy's focus is on Cilan now.

Yes I agree on Burgundy's rivalry with Cilan. But she got one Gym Badge. Let's hear it for Cilan for saving his new friend's relationship with his pokemon.

This was a fantastic episode, one of the best Unova episodes in my oppinion. Burgundy is a funny, angry character and she's one of my new favorites! She thinks she is all that and refuses advise from others - my kind of rival! TPCi did a good job with giving Burgundy a name that keeps the wine theme present with Cabernet, so props to them!

Burgundy was quite... blunt in her evaluation of Ash's Pokemon, but she does have a point about Oshawott thriving for attention. She might not be skilled enough to run her own Connoisseur shop, but she has a few skills. She also right about Ash's unruly Pokemon - one comment and they all attack her! Funny as it was, I thought at least Pikachu was mature enough to take an insult. Remember kiddies, when someone makes fun of you be sure to react with violence!

I'm a bit dissapointed in Cilan's dark side, as it didn't look too dark. He acted a bit too sure of himself and placed all of Ash's Pokemon (minus Pidove) in risk, but he didn't act too different compared to normal. I wanted Evil Cilan!

As for the battle, It was one of the most interesting yet in BW. Cilan's statigies were quite effective, so I hope Ash took notes. If this is Cilan's true battle power, then Ash's win over him at the gym looks even more plot-powered than before. Also, I like the doubled meaning TPCi snuck in with Cilan's comment about attacking Swasbuck from the front and behind.

Overall, I had a great 22 minutes watching this episode. With all of BW's changes and TR's serious role, I only watched BW out of obligation (and to see if Ash ever uses Pidove/Tranquil - poor bird), but Burgundy adds a new spice to this dish that makes me want to order seconds. I can't wait for her return!

Burgundy. Who does she think she is? Dissing Ash and his pokemon relationship like that is unacceptable. I mean his pikachu is at the very high level and his friendship with Ash is like extremely high.

Remember, Burgundy is only a C-rank Connoisseur and shouldn't run her own stand according to her Connoisseur handbook. Her dissing Ash's Pokemon was to show off both her inexperience in the profession and her abrasive personality.

How could she not knowing that he's pretty much of experienced trainer who traveled more than one region and few of his pokemon defeated a couple of legendary pokemon. For instance, Charizard crushed Articuno, Pikachu beaten Regice and Latios, and most of all, Sceptile defeated Darkrai in the Sinnoh League after he defeated his rival and enemy who happened to be cruel and more arrogant than she is. As for his unova pokemon, he just caught them.

She might not know about Ash because the Unova region is far away from the regions Ash made all of his accomplishments. Plus, not a lot of people reconize Ash and his accomplishments anyway and BW doesn't reference Ash's past achievements.

Anyway, I'm glad that Cilan schooled Burgundy. But haven't seen the last of her yet. And if Ash has to duel Burgundy in the Unova League(if she keeps getting gym badges), then he would KOed her instantly.

She's pretty focused on getting revenge on Cilan by being a better Connoisseur, so I don't think she'll be earning badges anytime soon. And if she does, there is always room for her to improve.

I liked this episode a lot more than the raw. Burgundy is a cool character, and I can't wait to see her come back. I hope we get to see more battles from Cilan. His whole persona changes.

[Ne0n-H!tch'd]

This was a great plotted episode.

It gave me a lot of what I wanted.

I wanted some background or spotlight on Cilan. I wanted the Connoisseur theme to be delved into more. I wanted more humor. This had it all.

The only thing I was like "OMG and WTF?" about was Burgundy's damn cameltoe...
Why is the camera right up on it? No pervertness here but the animators could've cleared that out or angled somewhere else.

But other than that, this was good! Now, where in the world is Team Rocket?

Fine episode. Burgundy was sort of annoying, though. Didn't like how she insulted Ash's Pokemon, even though she's in the C-Class. The battle between her and Cilan was okay, as well.

Welcome to Spring in the Unova region (Thankyou sawsbuck for the confirmation) and this was a great episode. The consutation with Burgandy was very funny, she definately got her own consultation from Ash's Pokemon. The battle was also fine for me. Burgandy was an arrogant girl who let her anger get the better of her and for Cilan to win so easily was just a way to being crashing back down to Earth. Unfortunately, it didn't work and her ego wouldn't allow her to thank cilan for her compliment.

[Geekachu]

At first I thought this may be just another dull filler episode, but I was delightfully surprised. Firstly I really liked the setting of the large Poke mart, and I was also delighted with the battle. It was good to see Cilan's Dwebble again, especially it using its Shell Smash and X-Scissor combination, which could see it become a really strong Pokemon. One of my favourite parts was seeing Sawsbuck which I think was a good Pokemon to include in the battle. There were also a few parts of the episode that made me laugh too, intentional or not

This is also left nicely open for Burgundy to return as Cilan's enemy. All in all, a really good episode.

I really didn't like this episode.

That girl annoyed me

[Kariris]

Am I the only one who like Burgundy? I find her quite interesting. I can't wait to see her again in episode 41.

[AmusedMilk]

Ash:MAN I HATE THIS LINE
Burgundy:How about you come over here?
Ash:SEEMS LEGIT

There were a lot of moments in this episode that made me say 'that's what she said.'

Burgundy's name is fitting for her. Her voice as well...it was pretty annoying fits perfectly for her personality. Despite being annoying and stuff, I enjoy her character. And her French was interesting to hear.

Sawsbuck has an ok voice to me, didn't stand out much to me though with everything else going on.

I enjoyed Cilan's dramatic parts, and Burgundy's vision of Cilan being evil to her.

The episode I liked overall, enjoyed watching it again.

[DittoDude]

"Because this day, is my revenge day!" LOL

[Battra]

Ok episode Burgundy did come off as a little annoying to me especially with her pushiness on Ash to replace his team, after all his Pokemon attacked her. I did like the dress she was wearing in the flashback it was very cute.

This. She is supposed to be annoying and that makes her funny.

Anyways I enjoyed this episode. Cilan looked pretty awesome being somewhat evil. Ash's Pokemon attacking Burgundy was quite amusing.

I can't wait to see her again.

Not my brand of humor at all, doh! Rough episode to slog through.

[Sabertooth1000000000]

This was an amazing episode. Seriously, I can actually call myself a fan of Cilan now.
