Cottonee in Love! (691)

[Poke Master 7]

Hmm what can I really say about this episode...no seriously I got nothing. To me this was a pretty boring episode to the point that I found more interest in Iris pulling out an apple every other scene than the main plot.

Me: Iris do we have to have a talk about your apple addiction?
Iris: I'm not addicted. *Bites into apple* I can quit *bites again* any time I want! I just don't want to right now.

And I gotta say, the entire involvement of Team Rocket seemed pretty unnecessary considering they really had nothing to do with the problem of the episode and were just kinda disposed of pretty fast with having no baring on anything. I really gotta wonder what the point of them appearing in the episode was aside from killing a few minutes. When you need filler in a filler episode, that's when a writer needs to think about the work they're doing.

But all in all, this episode was just kinda boring to me only serving to bring up that Kibago has officially graduated to being able to battle while Zuruggu remains kinda useless needing training.

Finally got to watch this episode. Just as I thought, I enjoyed it very much. Cilan was awesome in this episode, he needs his own show.

Scraggy got some screen time here, although it was just for the most part helping out Cottonee but I enjoyed Scraggy here, showed it's kinder side.

Iris gets an apple every scene, not sure what that was about but it was funny enough for me. Apples are appearing all the time, someone is going to catch one at some point clearly.

Ash didn't stand out to me much despite being the main reason for Cottonee's training. Regardless he was enjoyable.

Team Rocket are always awesome for me, no difference here.

This episode would be better if you know what's being said but despite that I enjoyed it very much, although the long wait for the episode took away a bit of my excitement for the episode unfortunately.

This was a nice episode.

Ash being clueless about love is hilarious. Kodome!
Iris with her apple addiction and her sxith sense. lol
Cilan with his overenthusiastic ways. He sang. Priceless.
Hmm Pansage and Dwebble.... I think its time he got a new one.
TR wasn't too bad here.

Oh man, the writers hate Tranquill.... every time it gets shown its either for a). get beaten on, b). used to search for stuff or c). do nothing.

The only things it has done are helped catch Snivy, help save Scraggy from galvantula, and help guide the Venipede....

Finally saw the dub of the episode. Its okay, although nothing very useful.

I'm pleased that Cilan pointed out that Iris was as much a child as Ash. Still the hypocrite.

Ash is still clueless about love. i wish the writers would throw away that aspect of Ash's personality. Its dated. But alas, I am also aware that the pokemon are the focus of the episode.

-IT'S...what on earth did Dento just say?...TIME!

Apparently it was the Japanese word for "confession". So, "It's confession time!"

It's Pidgeotto all over again..

[Geodude]

Anyone else find it funny how even Scraggy seemed to understand the situation better than Ash did?

Funny? More like sad. Poor Ash, doesn't understand what love is

But yah, I found it rather funny.

Also enjoyed Cilan's annoyance with Iris when she kept eating and talking about love. I guess Cilan thinks it's disrespectful or something, regardless, it's awesome to me.

[Juputoru]

Anyone else find it funny how even Scraggy seemed to understand the situation better than Ash did?

Yeah. Mostly because it meant Ash is officially more love-clueless than a recently born Pokemon. Although I guess it's also nice to see Scraggy caring about something other than headbutting everything.

Also enjoyed Cilan's annoyance with Iris when she kept eating and talking about love. I guess Cilan thinks it's disrespectful or something, regardless, it's awesome to me.

I enjoyed the couple of jabs he got on Iris during this. "You're one too"(in response to the usual "you're such a kid!" schtick), along with something along the lines of "normal girls wouldn't be able to eat at all if they so much as thought about love." They're not huge burns by any means, but it's still more than you'd expect from Dento. (well, Dento when he's not all fired up in battle, anyway)

[randomspot555]

Is this "don't eat when talking about love" thing some type of Japanese mannerism that just completely flew over my head or something?

[Ruby XIII]

Totally agree, and ha ha, officially more love-clueless than a recently born Pokemon.

Iris is gonna get fat if she keeps eating those apples. Training your Pokemon doesn't help your body at all.

[TheEpicGoomba]

It was an ok episode. It was cool that Scraggy cared fr something for once exept for headbutting someone or something. I'm abit dissapointed that no one caught Cottonee. I agree with the writers hating Tranquil 5/10

[Squirtle_007]

Come on, this episode wasn´t THAT bad, Iris and Cilan´s dynamic and simple way to be made it worthy, for now, the only episode I didn´t enjoyed was that Gothitelle episode, an episode where things could keep their course even without main characters being there, right, this episode could keep the course without characters being there too, but at least it show how Axew has become more powerful in comparisson to Scraggy, Iris´s and Cilan´s thoughts about love (best part of the episode, really, Iris and Cilan are climbing the "awesomess" ranks very quickly) and how Ash killed all the fandom´s shippings with his Oblivious ability.

Anyway, I agree with you about Team Rocket being more unnecessary than usual I mean, their role this time waa limited to crash in a wall, wild Pokémon had become smarter and can defend by themselves.

[GenosectArceus]

Iris on a date.
Iris: Hey Chili!
Chili: Hi Iris.
>Chili's response makes Iris blush and grab a burger<
Iris: So >munch< how you doin'? >munch<
Chili: Umm… okay, I guess. >he starts backing away<
Iris: >blushes again< You… you're so cute! >munch, munch, munch<
Chili: Uh… okay then. I'll >turns< see ya later >runs<
>Iris moans<
Cilan: Ah, the sweet scent of love. And Iris's desire to eat while horny >sighs<
Iris: Grrr!

She has problems if she likes to eat while talking about love.

[SphealsFTW]

Yay, Cottonees? :P Cottonees are cute enough. It's funny how they just float around... Anyways I'm surprised Ash didn't catch that Cottonee. o_o I mean he trained it up and everything. Still, it was nice to see the Cottonee get the one that it loved :3.

On a side note, Ash's Zurruggu has a really annoying voice... And why is Dento so obsessed with telling Iris to not eat and talk about love? lol

[Ciccone]

This was yet another overhyped episode that turned out to be just average. While I did appreciate how Ash and Iris were training their Pokemon at first, I have to say that I'm disappointed that Ash's Scraggy had to stick around for the rest of the episode. I just don't think it's cute or even funny; it's always just there. I disliked how they made Cottonee out to be romantic, when it's just a ball of cotton. The whole love side-plot just made things a little too chessy, although I did appreciate Cilan's little scenes. Team Rocket ruined the episode once again by being completely boring. I wish they had done more here, but I'm giving this one a 4/10.

[Littlemyuu]

aw, scraggy is cute, and Cottonee too =p

[Lance The Champ]

Nice to see Scraggy play a part in the episode...

[Lucky wish]

Ughhh... I hated this episode! I'm not a fan of Cottenee, nor Whimsicott!
The only good things about this episode was that Scraggy was in and Tranquill got some screen time even though it was for like, 8 seconds.
