A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition (685)

[Yeul]

When that female Frillish was loving Ash he should have caught her, took her to a private room, and explored her but instead he got all freaked out! Come on Ash! You'll never be a Pokemon master if you don't learn to have sex with Pokemon! Especially if you have females you have to explore them personally, mentally and of course physically. Its very hard to get a Pokemon to mate with you and you blew it by not catching that lovely female Frillish!

I want Frillish to appear again, yeah, but not like......THAT.

Jesus Christ on a stick, is this the typical behaviour of a Lopunny/Gardevoir fanboy?

An okay episode. I just REALLY wish Cilan kept Basculin... I've been raising one to prove to people it's not entirely useless.
Also, everyone keeps saying it was delayed or something? Could someone explain that?

[SmartD]

It's a good episode. Ash and friends participate in a fishing competition, only to find out it was run by Team Rocket. They were going to send the Pokemon to the boss, only to find out a Frillish foiled their plans.

They finally air this episode because it was skipped in japan because of the earthquake. Now I wish they would air the Team Plasma episodes.

The episode was supposed to air right before the Emolga episode, but it was delayed for no apparent reason.

And I agree with you 100% on Basculin. Cilan should have kept his, and the species is far from useless. Ever seen a Basculin's Adaptability-boosted Aqua Tail in action? It destroys things. Utterly.

It wasn't skipped, it was postponed, like the Team Plasma episodes are.

I liked this episode. The Frillish parts were weird and maybe the Frillish parts and the Team Rocket parts were changes from what caused this to be cancelled.

About Team Plasma, what episodes are you talking about? And I want to see them make an appearance in the ANIME!!!

[playerking]

Why didn't team rocket escape with jet packs from the beginning? haha

Because Ash and co. could've attacked them with their Pokemon, so instead they got Yamask to use Haze, so that they can go to a building, to escape from the twerps. So yeah, that was probably the best option for them.

The postponed ones, BW023 and BW024.

Thank you!

The dub handled the retcon so much better than the Japanese version since they made all of the little flubs make sense

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

Another terrible dub name. Well, this episode found like an episode in Sinnoh: lacking. The Japanese version was better.

Cilan was a little annoying today. And so was Bianca.

The dubbed gets a 5/10.

The Japanese version gets a 6/10.

[LDEJRuff]

I just saw the episode on Cartoon Network's Western feed. I can't believe they retconned the episode. Bianca was supposed to accompany Ash and his friends later on in the episode on their way to Nimbasa City.

I also can't believe the dub followed the episode's postponement.

Plus, Wikipedia said that there was a big wave in the competition (the reason why the episode was postponed in Japan), which I didn't get to see today.

If TV TOKYO bans "Team Rocket vs. Team Plasma" from broadcast and butchers more episodes like they did that one, I'll be so steamed.

[AuraChannelerChris]

I believe Team Rocket is a team of rocket scientists.

LOL! She's so funny haha!

Yeah. Instead of Cilan checking the map to see where the next gym was like it was in the Japanese version, he checks it to see how much longer they have left till they get there. Pretty smart.

[Shneak]

I found Cilan slightly irritating for the first time, but there's nothing like this in the future so far. Bianca and Iris were good with the comedy.

Really wish Ash or Bianca would have caught that Frillish. Especially if Ash caught it over Palpitoad.

[00poke_maniac]

You know it's odd. Many people found Dento irritating in this episode =/ yet this was the episode I really liked him (like is it just me? Is it because he fishes?) How was he annoying ^^; I just don't see it maybe it's because I don't watch them in english? I don't know

[_Taidow_]

I don't think Jason Griffith can express joy well....

[Mr.Munchlax]

I know this would never happen in a million years but if Misty were here it'd be fun to see her & Cilan clash on who's the better fisher

Also, I still say that Cilan can make boring stuff like filing tax incomes exciting

[stanleysmith]

I thought the episode was okay. But it would have made it a million times better if Bianca caught Frillish and Cilan got to keep Basculin!!!

[Nekaku]

So um..where was the giant wave that people were so uptight about?
