Emolga and the New Volt Switch! (687)

[playerking]

I'm sure there were no captures in BW026, or Volt Switch should have shown the Pokemon Bianca or Cilan caught, instead of Cilan, Pignite or Cilan's Pansage.

But I missed the funny parts, but it is still one of my favourites, it's right up there with episode 21.

Aw man. Again with the Oshawott KOing >_<. But anyway awesome episode overall.

Anyone else during the Simisear vs Snivy battle say " EVOLVE! EVOLVE! EVOLVE! EVOLVE! EVOLVE! EVOLVE! EVOLVE! EVOLVE! EVOLVE!" in their head, just to be disappointed

No because it still would be too early, but that's just my opinion.

is excadrill in this ep

[playerking]

I think it was, Bulbapedia says it was, but that could of been because a trusted translator here said Excadrill was 99.9% confirmed because of it's voice actor, but it could of been Simisear or Watchog's voice, but if it was in the episode I missed it and I'm annoyed about that as well, oh well I'll probably see the episode again.

Excadrill got sent out in the first Volt Switch

cool it been getting a little bit of screen time recently i hope it will start to obey soon

[dman_dustin]

is excadrill in this ep

Yes it was.

It was the first "victim" of Emolga's volt change. Of course as usual it didn't do anything.

But I have to laugh at how drawn out it's "release" was from it's Poke ball. At first the emphasis of being sent out seemed like it was going to lead somewhere. Maybe Excadrill going into Rage mode. But nothing happened. I laughed and then Iris recalled it.

Trip/Shooti can have a Servine in Episode 10 but Ash can't in episode 28,when his was wild and possibly had a previous trainer?

sigh Makes sense to me

But as you said its your opinion

[MechaBulba]

So was this a filler, did something important happen? Would Bianca leaving be counted as non-fillerish in a way, or not?

Why dose it matter if an episode is a filler or not? Most fillers are fun, often its the non-fillers which can be boring. I don't understand why it actually matters? Is someone keeping a list or something?
Technically no episode is a filler, since they are all made for a reason, otherwise its a waste of time and money. This episode had Team developments, training, a gender confirmation and a Pokemon debut (which should be counted as one of the most important things in the show).

Anyways this episode seems great, from the preview alone Simisear looked awesome in the anime. Hope they can make Simipour look as good.

[playerking]

Well it was being laggy, anyway, it's better than it being rejected of episode screen time. There has yet to be an episode where all of the Teams Pokemon are in the same episode in best wishes, this and episode 12 were close, except in episode 12, Excadrill wasn't there and now Dwebble wasn't here, why can't we see them all in one episode, I liked how Ash sent out his whole team again.

Because it's good to have a non-stop of run of non-fillers, like BW is having. And yes some episodes are fillers if nothing important happens, a debut isn't considered noteworthy, I didn't see a lot of team development, maybe from Emolga and Snivy, but that's it, Bianca leaving made it a Non-filler I'm sure.

[BWfan]

This sounds like an awesome episode, can't wait to see the episode pics. xD

Also, what happened when the Simisear appeared?

The show is about finding and seeing Pokemon, so a Pokemon debut should be considered non-filler, since its kind of a big deal, filling a Pokedex is part of the story. Today it was Simisear's time. Anyways that just my opinion.

Nah, Emolga development, most of the team doing stuff, far from being a filler.

I kind of agree with MechaBulba with that but that would make almost all episodes of the other series non-fillers even though nothing relevant happened, unlike in this one but yeah I probably can agree with you on that.

I and most people though try to see it has content wise and not new pokemon appearance wise and that's why we qualify those old episodes as fillers.

Are we watching the same show, it's about Ash and friends traveling and Ash battling the gyms so that he can beat the league, so it will lead to him being a Pokemon Master somehow, Pokemon from Unova appearing are just there to advertise the games and for a Bonus.

But yeah, I guess Emolga became a bit nicer, although it could go back to the way it was, but yes, this wasn't a filler.

same old same old am i the only one who dosen't like gym battles as much as fillers

Yeah, the last two gym battles I didn't really find interesting, and if this was a filler, it would've been a good filler at least.

[Serebii]

Episode Pictures are up

[MidnightMelody]

again.....tranquill is missing.....

Well with Ash always with his bird its nice to see him not with the damn regional bird

[Platinum fan.]

I actually bothered to watch this episode and it was great! Oh Bianca why couldn't you stay on the main cast? I would watch more episodes of Best Wishes with you in it. Your even making me warm up to Pignite a little. The flying Pachirisu is such a diva which makes for a great Pokemon. Sadly I'm not really feeling her relationship with Iris yet, it feels like she has better chemistry with other Pokemon then her own trainer, however it's only been two episodes so that can change with more Iris focus. Simisear is awesome! I love the faces it made. Great Pokemon.

So between Simisear, Bianca, and flying Pachirisu this was a great episode. I hope they make more like it.

As long as the episode is entertaining, I don't think it's too important whether the "plot" is advanced or not. And that's a very loosely used term in Pokemon.

[gliscor&yanmega]

So Swadloon is male. Now all we need to know is what Dwebble is.

Looks like a nice episode.

Emolga and Snivy didn't actually battle in this episode though(Unless I missed something), title sure was misleading. But it does look like the two have some kind of problem with the other.

Seems like this episode had some good funny moments.

And Bianca leaves, I guess the day was to come eventually, I wouldn't mind her staying a little longer though. It's a shame we didn't see BW026 to know if she has any new Pokemon on her, I'm guessing not though.

[RickHoenn]

Bianca appeared in this episode, she's a recurring rival and part of the plot, so no.... and it doesn't matter if the episode is awesome, don't know why people assume filler=bad (I'm not talking about you)

The first filler might be the next week episode. but it looks awesome.

[Misty Lover17]

I bet Ash could've done more if he wanted to defeat Bell even with Snivy, despite the type disadvantage. Though, we'll never know.

Plus, it's really been awhile since I've seen such an intelligent Pokemon, especially a first stage Pokemon. Just think about it, Snivy's intelligence as a Serperior, as well as Servine. Inspiring!

[Missingno. Master]

The first filler might be the next week episode. but it looks awesome.

In next week's episode, James's Yamask is revealed to know Shadow Ball, so it can't be a filler next week.

[shady56]

this was great
simisear looked awesome
poor pikachu
seen how snivy fits in the role of ashs team
i hate the oshawott ko tho
and next week looks awesome as well :3

ummm yes I watched the preview again o.o so Best Wishes imo had no fillers so far.

Anyway, I loved this episode, IDK episodes with team interaction are the best for me. Attract is amazing I think it will never get old for me.

Aww Bianca has to leave get that badge gurl! She's already one of my favorite characters in the anime, I love the blonde stereotypical ditz.
