The Club Battle Hearts of Fury, Emolga Versus Sawk! (702)

[Caseydia]

You seriously need to read the episode title: It says EMOLGA VERSUS SAWK. It's supposed to be about Iris's battle against Stephan.

Besides, they gave Ash the best battle in the first round and everyone including Iris got sucky battles. Funny how you never mention that.

No he doesn't. Ash has had alot of crappy battles. Iris has had the most pleasant. And it doesn't help it if Emonga barely battle neither.

GOD! ASH SO SHOULD HAVE LOST THAT BATTLE! i mean a gullitene! and aparently... it missed and ash managed to throw 2 moves in that are NOT EFFECTIVE and it killed pawnward!

Vine Whip hit repeatedly, Leaf Blade hit, and Leaf Storm.
Pawniard kept hitting Snivy with Metal Claw only.

they both resist each others moves.

Steel resists Grass.


Grass does not resist Steel.

Just saying.

Guillotine isn't the most accurate move. It wouldn't be hard to dodge it in the anime.

Type effectiveness isn't as realistic as it is in the game, it should be common sense by now so long as this isn't the first episode you've watched.


I enjoyed the dub as much as the Japanese version.

Sawk and Larvesta's dub voice were nice in my opinion.

Overall I enjoyed the whole thing.

Oh that's right. Even though didn't Pawniard only hit her like three times with Metal Claw as well?

[RWB]

That, and then we have the fact that not only did Snivy score a lot more hits during the fight than Pawniard(thanks to the lucky "rock getting stuck on it's head")... Snivy is confirmed in the anime itself to be a tank.

More or less outright stated.


The outcome is relatively realistical, even if Ash only won by luck.

All right writers can we please end the Kenyan/Stephan thing it's gotten old, also as much as I like that their showing off more under used moves this season Attract is getting old it's turning into a catch all for winning battles.

Hey Iris instead of being a little kid and calling everyone a little kid you actually train your Pokemon to actually fight better instead of relying on dumb luck to win your battles.

[Marbi Z]

This was a great episode! Though I've NEVER seen Pokemon in the anime resist attract... No! Not Sawk smackng the hearts! As in being infatuated but still able to battle.

While Attract is borderlining being an overused move, Iris at least uses the move strategically. That's why I loved the Emolga vs Sawk battle. I liked she used Attract more as a defensive tactic rather than using it to infatuate

Emolga beating Sawk is a complete travesty. Sawk is a beast, Emolga is a damn vermin. Stone edge and that rat is done.

This is BS. BS.

Did anyone notice that when Zorua turned into Georgia to lip synch with Iris you could still see her fangs?

You're absolutely right. How could a Pokemon with a type advantage and a debilitating ability win this battle? Especially when Emolga is resistant to all of Sawk's attacks. It makes absolutely no sen- oh wait. It makes perfect sense.

Since when has this show ever be realistic in the past? For over 12 years, logic has never really stood in this anime and now people are caring? Hehe. It's so funny.

Emolga is really weak though, and I hate that rat. Sawk is a beast like I said. Close Combat despite ineffectiveness can take out half of Emolgas health in the game at the same level.

Games =/= anime. I thought everyone would know this by now. Emolga are frail ingame but in the anime they're just as sturdy as every other rodent.

Secondly, is very far from being a weakling. It's proven that in it's previous battles. At the very least we know that is has strength on par with Ash's Snivy.

Umm, Dawn's Ambipom fought while under Delcatty's cute charm...though Ambipom also got rid of the attraction mid-battle as well. In BW though, nothing has been able to do that right now, but that could be the fact that everyone fails to call out an attack

Because Snivy is strong to begin with.

Sawk should never lose to a rat, IMO.

[WhyHelloThere]

As far as you know, that might be the wimpiest Sawk in existance.
