Where Did You Go, Audino? (697)

[gliscor&yanmega]

It seems Zager wanted to make a radar from the Audino's sensitive hearing. Sounds like an interesting thing to want in my eyes, I wonder what purpose he wanted it for and if it'll be mentioned again, I hope so.

These small lines made the episode for me this episode wasn't as bad as people made it out to be. It was cute :3

Officer Jenny: Arata!! This is not a Detective game, the Audino have gone missing!
Dento: u_u EXACTLY!
Iris: -_- Same for you....
 

[Lance The Champ]

Only good part was Cilan being detective and all... but even that didnt go very well...

[TheBattleFrontierAsh1]

The episode to me was just a very boring one until roggenrola fought team rocket like a boss but I didn't hate this episode. It was ok just kinda boring.

[Demonsead]

Filler this episode was filler, nothing else to say about it.

[SmartD]

A good episode. Christie and Doyle are named after Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle, really creative on the dub's part. I can't for the next episode.

[POKEMONISDUMB!!!!!!!!!!!!]

Saw the dubbed version this morning. I thought is was too Sinnoh-ish. The concept and everything was like Sinnoh all over again. But it wasn't a complete disaster, it was okay, I guess...but it could've been better. And to finish it off, the dubbed voices of the children irked me.

Subbed version gets a 5/10.

Dubbed version gets a 4/10.

A good episode. Christie and Doyle are named after Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle, really creative on the dub's part. I can't for the next episode.

Not only that, this episode had a surprise I wasn't even aware of until yesterday -- Leah Clark (Fuyuki in Sgt Frog, Blair in Soul Eater, Kagura in Ga-Rei-Zero) was Doyle's VA! This actually makes a surprising amount of sense, as she directed three of the Case Closed movies.

[Yeul]

Filler this episode was filler, nothing else to say about it.

What, was it not (in the very least) entertaining? The fact that Leah Clark voiced the Conan-lookalike Doyle and how his and Christie's dub names are very clever made the dubbed version near-superior to the original. Too bad that Mamoru Miyano's a very mighty young man when it comes to the hamminess of his characters, and Dento was unrelenting around....8 minutes in. Poor Jason can't compare.

[Medea]

Wow, very interesting to know that Leah Clark is doing Doyle. As for Christie, I'm pretty sure that's Carrie Savage. In fact, VERY sure.

As for Detective Dento-fruit (my nickname for him), he just seemed so cheesy when confronting Team Rocket. But it amused me.

Okay filler for the most part.

Does Carrie Savage voice Amy Rose? I just know it was her. If she was, it's kind of ironic that two previous Sonic VAs worked on the same episode.

EDIT: Oh, that was Lisa Ortiz. Wait, I'm pretty sure it was Lisa Ortiz, not Carrie Savage.

[jolteonjak]

Wow this sure was a snooze-fest. I'm glad I didn't bother with the Japanese version.

[XXD17]

Doyle...really now...that's not just a blatant reference to Arthur Conan Doyle...but it looks like the dub even caught on how this kid was based blatantly on Conan Edogawa as well...

[Orton155]

So the Audino were manipulated by sound! Interesting. After all that it was Team rocket which was to blame but it looks like the rockets have a new job to do while they are out and about and that is to help zeiger (sp?) with his new inventions which I assume will be used in the operations of team rocket itself.

Cilan wasn't really outstanding this episode he was just being himself. It wasn't really like when it was detective time he was anything different unlike when it was fishing time so I was quite disappointed.

Anyway, I enjoyed the episode but not as much as others.

[WaterDragon trainer]

This episode was ok. Nothing special for me (not even the debuts of Solosis and Gothita).

[the1stpkmnfan]

Okay, so far, Cilan is a Gym Leader with his brothers, an A Rank Connoisseur, a cook, a scientific thinker, a fisherman and now he is a detective. Next thing we'll know is that he is an idol singer. I hope so though. I can see him doing that. xD

Anyways, my love for Mystery-themed episodes/movies have peaked in this episode. It's also cool that Roggenrola gets an awesome role in this episode just after his debut on the show.

Not too bad at all, and omg Ash, you have seen an Audino already. Why did you use your Dex to look up Audino this late?!

[vipsoccermaster]

Decent episode. It was funny when Officer Jenny tried to arrest Ash and his friends when they actually didn't do anything.

And as for Audino, it was mysterious that they went on their own. I knew it had to be Team Rocket.

[The Great Butler]

Wow, this episode was bad. I nearly stopped watching it because of Cilan's obnoxious antics.

At least the Rocket plot was interesting, albeit a bit pedestrian. They've become a bit more menacing under Zager's direction, even when their plans are simple like this, because of what he seems to be intending to do with the captured Pokemon. Was the reference to Giovanni in the original?

[Sapphire Kirby]

This was an ok episode; unimportant, but good. I have to wonder though: if TPCi can be creative with character names, why can’t they be better with episode titles? This title was fine, but I’m sure past seasons could have made it punnier.

I don’t see why the writers had to have both Gothita and Solosis in the episode; they both did the same thing and I had no interest in the kids squabbling about which one is better. Only one kid and one Psychic type were necessary for this episode.

Detective Connoisseur Cilan was enjoyable, as was Iris’ unenthusiastic opinion of Cilan’s hobby of the day. It’s a good thing the dubbers figured out Cilan’s catchphrase during the last few episodes. I laughed when Ash was still trying to climb the cliff in the background when Cilan talked to Officer Jenny.

I have to question Officer Jenny’s capabilities as a Police woman, though. She instantly arrests people with only an assumption, and she needs an iPad with a tracking app to see pink rabbits 10 feet in front of her. We let this lady keep us safe at night? Does she even have a Pokémon?

As I said of the previous episode, I’m glad that the dubbers are letting Trio show more emotion. They seem livelier now when they interact with Ash and Co. I’d wish they’d try to catch more Pokémon on Zager’s orders; that’s what I’d have the Trio doing from the beginning if I was in charge.

On a final note, I’m glad Roggenrola was used so early after it was caught . We have to wait before Palpitoad got any recognition.

Tatum,Mignogna,Clark? Whats next? Palencia as Elesa and Sabat as Clay? Actually.....

[Shneak]

I'm going to skip this one. The japanese episode was awful. I don't think it will help when I know what is being said.

[Articuno_rocks]

I love these mystery episodes. Seeing Cilan fail miserably at acting like Sherlock Holmes was certainly a treat.

And Officer Jenny's as incompetent as ever. iPads and iPhones? Seriously?

[spiderbrush]

Meh, this episode was all right, but I feel there's been worse fillers in the B/W series thus far.

And jumping to conclusions, much, Jenny?

[Nekaku]

Jenny was never a good officer. I feel bad that the safety of everyone is in her hands.

[The Great Butler]

Tatum,Mignogna,Clark? Whats next? Palencia as Elesa and Sabat as Clay? Actually.....

It gets better. Carrie Savage, who has had some roles in various Funimation dubs (nothing too notable though) was Christie. Not only that, Vic Mignogna, according to his Twitter, dubbed a second role in July that hasn't aired yet - I get the feeling it's the Victini movies, because in the trailer Damon sounds like he could be voiced by Vic or J. Michael Tatum.

I wonder what this all means? It's certainly getting to be too much to be a coincidence, all these West Coast-based Funimation VAs showing up...
