A Venipede Stampede (681)

[Bisharp]

LOL @ People not knowing the TR vs TP 2 parter is not going to air in the Dub >_>

[Battra]

God yet another episode with Ash acting like a complete jerk shoving his views onto to other people. People complain that trip was annoying at least him and the other trainers were actually defending themselves against the Venipede who more than likely attacked first.

Wow i'm amazed at how foreshadowing this episode is in conjunction with the Tohoku disaster, with the Venipede fleeing, & the massive energy build up. Also thought PUSA handled the continuity with this and the next episode by editing out the small part of Ash & the gang wanting to go to the Desert Resort. Certainly alot better done than some of the stuff 4kids did in the past.

I thought Trip acted like a jerk in that episode.
He can't just let Ash and Co do the job. He made it even worse if you ask me.
How Ash got poisoned and how it was easily treated was ridiculous. Might as well not keep that part in.

The good thing was watching the battles and how they moved those pesky Venipede to Central Plaza.
I loved how Ash's Pidove evolved into Tranquil.

So Team Rocket Vs Team Plasma episodes aren't going to be aired but are they still Dubbing it?

at least him and the other trainers were actually defending themselves against the Venipede who more than likely attacked first.

Except as Burgh said, attacking them would've caused unnecessary damage to both sides. And notice how the Venipede retaliated to the trainers when the trainers attacked them. That's provocation.

It makes no sense to defend yourself at whatever the cost, when there was a more peaceful solution.

You act as if they had no choice, despite had you watched the episode (fully) they did have another choice.

I really enjoyed A Venipede Stampede! It was very fast-paced, and the background music was beautiful. It was quite an epic story, with the Venipede ruining the whole city. It was good to see Trip here, as he acted as the other side of the what-to-do-with-the-Venipede argument. If it had been a CotD, the story would have been a lot weaker. Ash's Pidove evolving was great, but I would have liked to have seen Pidove struggling to blow away the Venipede, and then evolving and gaining strength. It was a bit of a random evolution. TPCi handled the editing at the end very well, I thought. There wasn't much they could do, really, but with the material at hand, they did a good job. I've been impressed lately.

But what about all the other set up... Still gonna be a little weird next week I think...
I'm pretty sure they are never being shown ever now.. .-. But, I guess I shouldn't go on about that. >_>;

Agh, again, I miss the episode on it's premiere date. I finally got watch the episode, not bad as well. The Venipede were well animated and nearly looked 3D. Trip was a definite jerk in this episode though, I can't even say he was Paul level. More like Paul-wanna be level. Trip sounded both nice and mean at the same time. At this part of the series, Paul would be heavy blue mean. :P

Anyways, as for TR/TP, the episode would definitely had got me pumped. Only if I didn't know about the skipped episodes to follow. It's saddening and frustrating yes, but what's going on japan isn't as good either. I give them my best wishes, even if these 2-part episodes won't have a chance at airing. It's unfair, but life isn't always fair. These two episodes would be really neat to bring to the BW series, but I'm worried it'll impact it very much as they're being thrown of the shelf for the time being.

And with that, let's see how BW025 rolls. I'm glad to see the dub didn't make any high expectations at the end of this episode. If it's indeed going to flow very good, to make it like BW23 and 24 weren't created, then the best we can do is just move on. Japan itself comes first after all.

And, most likely

this recent episode will be the last of Jessie and James in their Black clothes, and the return of Jessie and James in their original color suits. And their goofy selves. I wonder if Pierce and the doctor will be seen again. I know Giovanni's Secretary will be present.

More like CGI.

[lolipiece]

Well animated?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I beg to differ...

Wow, even Bulbapedia didn't catch that one.

[halloweenghost]

nice episode, loved all the CG animation, and I did not expect Pidove to evolve!

Such as shame bad things happen to the world and the two team rocket vs plasma episodes got delayed.... everything was fitting.. and now gonna seem so off when the next episode airs.

and when it mentioned how bug types can sometime sense things wrong,.. I got chill thinking about Japan Was a scary coincidence.

Well.. These things do happen, and when they do, we've got Bug-Pokemon to rescue us with their precognitive powers..

Hooray for Tranquill though!

Just because they are in their white uniforms doesn't mean they are goofy, which they aren't. I just wanna see if the dub makes them rhyme again

Whoops.. I rewatched the end and noticed they edited the episode to make it seem like ash and the gang did not get on and juniper went alone.


guess i was thinking too much the first time i watched it and missed that part.

[Spartan1775]

I was just thinking too, does this now mean they are going to have to edit anything team rocket related because Jessie and James were already at the desert resort. Ah crap they are probably now going to have every single episode revised for the dub. Say Hello to exclusive parts in both the Japanesse and dubs.

I doubt it, that's a little too much don't you think? I am curious how the dialogue in the Rocket scene will go, though. If they want this retcon to work smoothly (as messy as this all is, it can work out so long as the whole TR vs. TP and Meteonite plotlines play out later), it's going to have to be a little different than in the Japanese version.

[halloweenghost]

I'm sure non Japanese versions will get dialogue changes

Yayyyy my very first post! I really liked this episode! I also liked how Ash's pidove evolved! Yay!

[Lance The Champ]

What a pity they are not showing the action in the desert resort!

[Lucky wish]

I'm paticualy fond of this episode, I'LL LOVE IT TO THE DAY I DIE!!!

Tranquill's English voice is freakin' awesome!! God, this has to be like... my favorite episode of pokemon ever!! I also like the way she evolved, much better than in the past.
