Meowth's Scrafty Tactics! (704)

[Aura Flare Riolu]

Meowth isn't captured...Yet...

[Bisharp]

Also, i hate how the Live Caster is now...crappy compared to Professor Oak's Pokemon Lecture > : (.

[The Great Butler]

Exaclty, not caught and pissed off with Iris, like I said not wanting to sound like a jerk, they wouldn't spoil that imo.

I don't know, Sewaddle and Roggenrola got spoiled well in advance. They've done it before.

I guess this turned out to be a waste of time. If they want to make an episode about Team Rocket, don't drag the twerps into it.

[Lucario At Service]

Seems to Low Kick or Low Sweep to me

It certainly "Hi Jump Kick" since you can hear someone saying "Tobihizageri" (i think it was said by Cilan) which is its japanese name.

[Pepsi_Plunge]

I'm happy the live caster is back XD, I also like the pokemon being there more, I guess Oak doesn't really have many Isshu pokemons to show them.

Awesome I got everything about this episode right it seems lol, from Scrafty reasons, to Scraggy battling Mandibuzz, to the move .

The Great Buttler, like I said its a completelly diferent story, Meowth isn't a random pokemon tha tis caught in an episode.

[Dreamcoat]

Are you high? (no pun intended)

Logic states that moves with Low in its name tends to attack the opposing PKMN from a low point.

Logic ALSO seems to state that moves with Hi (High) in its name tends to attack the opposing PKMN from a high point, which was the case here.

[Fairplay]

I need some translations . Excited to see what TR's are up to again.

[The Great Butler]

I really hope Team Rocket's new mission isn't carrying out bombings in a big city... that's never going to fly in the dub, which'll mean we get screwed again.

[Janovy]

I think this just makes it more likely Team Plasma is involved.

It should also be pointed out that when Scrafty did the attack and missed, it got hurt doing it. The only other move that remotely does that is jump kick, but Scraggy can't learn it.

Anyway the writers honestly expect me to believe that Meowth being caught by the police was really that punishable of an event to be fired. Um what the hell writers, Jessie, James and Meowth were caught by a whole crap load of police officers when they first met Pierce. Can you say unbelievable B.S.

I love how Snivy played a role in this episode. I mean first off she smacks the crap out of Meowth. GO SNIVY! But no one was really expecting her to be in this episode. Loved how she rescued Axew and stuff.

Tepig, glad to see you get some more battles and wins, but you know I kind of feel it was pointless. I'm not sure why Ash chose you over his other Pokemon.

YAY SCRAGGY! Not only does it learn a new move because it was impressed by it from Scrafty, but it kicks a Mandibuzz's butt in the process. And I love how Scraggy yet again refused to go in its Poke ball. Take a hint Ash, it's not all about Pikachu.

As for Team Rocket, I don't know what the flying fudge they're doing, but I don't really care.

A decent episode, I guess you can say, but I don't really know what Meowth's problem was in the beginning with the whole preventing them from getting Axew, but oh well.

And also lamest excuse for being fired, if he's really fired and not tricking the twerps.

yeah but
pierce has been missing for 20 odd episodes
meowth was worried about his travels in unova (bw002)
and how can't you care about team rocket
and the first time TR got caught by the police were they in the middle of a mission, not really
giovanni would't have fired TR for getting caught in bw010 because it wasn't their fault the police just knew where they were (magic)
and JJM are the only agents in unova if he fired all 3 then he would have to send in more agents and if the whole of unova is on high alert then i'm gueessing they would notice a aircraft with the TR logo on

[Pepsi_Plunge]

Its not going to be that, I can't imagine it being that in pokemon but anyway don't watch dubs, the episode will be subed watch it subbed.

Team Rocket came in undercover on a air plane that Ash was on so he could send Butch and Casady in the same way if he feels that more agents are needed.

I would like to hope that unova airport security is better

[An00bis]

Iris came out of nowhere with that Pokeball didn't she? Silly girl ...

To say that Jessie and James sent Meowth to distract the group is giving them a lot of credit. That means by now they realize that the only one who can actually stop them is some 10 year old brat with a Pikachu. It also means that they got the local Pokemon in on it somehow which seems more implausible then Meowth getting fired in the first place.

Meowth did say he'd take full responsibility for the plan when they were reviewing it in the Don Battle Arch. If they really got caught Meowth could have taken the fall to protect his friends and gotten burned by how cold Jessie and James reacted to his punishment. Might also explain why Meowth seemed so reluctant to receive the group's help at the beginning of the episode.

But then that's giving the writers too much credit. It's a lose-lose situation from a logic standpoint.

[dman_dustin]

Well that 10 year old brat is the only one who's been directly and indirectly responsible for most it not all of Team Rocket's failures (well the one's that are on the main series and on screen). Since Ash and Pikachu's presence means failure for Team Rocket. If the mission is important, then Team Rocket would want Ash and co to stay away.

Except Mewtwo, that was all Giovanni's fault.

[Mr.Munchlax]

You know, I just realized 2 things about this episode that I don't think a lot of people have discussed:

1. This is the 1st time in Unova that Meowth used his ability to talk to other pokemon
2. This episode could attract players into adding Mandibuzz to their teams

1. Really? I thought he has done it already before..
2. I already have one on my team. I like it, it works for me..

Yay, Meowth didn't get caught, Scraggy and Tepig got a good win, awesome!

[Janovy]

Ugh.

- Scraggy gets a new move.
- Tepig is stuck with 3 same moves.



Not that I'm not happy because of Scraggy but ... ugh.

[Missingno. Master]

So. Iris didn't catch Meowth.

OK. I can handle this. I can-

    Spoiler:- Hugely immature rant within. No character bashing, unless the writers count as characters.:

Show Spoiler

 
GRAAAAGH, WHAT WERE THOSE WRITERS THINKING?! THEY ARE IDIOTS IDIOTS IDIOTS IDIOTS IDIOTS IDIOTS! STUPID STINKING *@#$%#@#$ @$#!$@#$@ @#@$ $@#?!#@$! YOU DON'T HAVE A @#$%ING SUNSET SCENE JUST TO HAVE THE CAPTURE $@$#@#$ FAIL!
 

EDIT: Nice, though, that Scraggy learned Hi Jump Kick.

[00poke_maniac]

LOL! I didn't want Meowth captured anyways. The writers are a bunch of trollz.

[Yeul]

Yeah, at the end he'd have to be released anyways, making the capture pointless.
But seriously, can we get a name in here other than just "the writers?"

[00poke_maniac]

It would have been. Which made it even more pointless for her to throw the darn ball XD
Nah. "The writers" fits them perfectly.

[Sarefan]

I've always wondered: where do u guys watch these episodes so quickly? I always have to wait a couple of days till it airs on some anime websites.

[Missingno. Master]

I got a few names for them, but I think the forum would censor most of them out.
