The Lonely Deino (717)

[vipsoccermaster]

This episode was all right. Seeing the Deino was nice, though. Iris still has a long goal of becoming a master of dragon types.

Awwww, I really enjoyed this episode! I guess I'm a little biased though because, if I lived in the Pokemon world, I'd want to be a breeder or caregiver: battles secondary.

Let's see... I know a Bobby who sometimes referred to himself in the third-person, so that instantly made me like the character. He was a lot like Cilan, passionate about everything. (And poor Cilan with his back! I know how that is.) I liked seeing the crew playing around with the Pokemon: that would be so much fun.

Although I disagree with Iris calling Deino cute, I sure liked how their relationship panned out. Iris showed how determined she is when she wants to take care of a Pokemon. And it was nice seeing a flashback to her village. Although a part of me was happy to see Deino's trainer come back, I was still a little sad to see it leave after Iris bonded with it.

Oh, and a few random things. The "gangsta" guy or whatever was... unexpected. Kinda funny that Mr. Cool's Pokemon was a Foongus. And I guess Iris thinks Pokemon food tastes okay: that's awesome. Finally, Meowth said that they don't know the definition of "fail." That made me grin, considering they've learned the definition a few hundred times by now.

Cute episode overall, definitely on the touching side.

Wow, what can I say about this episode: touching and amazing. I love character development (a capture would have ruined it, I believe). Keep it up, writers.

[UnbelievableUrsula]

This episode was so simple and full of sadness. I wish Deino was introduced earlier and was wild. But I guess episode Pokemon aren't alowed to be caught.

Why didnt Iris obtain Deino (in a zelda like fashion) ? >_<.

It woulda been cool for her to have one of the most hated 5th gen Dragon types, you get it so late, and the fact that Ghetsis's hydreigon supposedly owns everyone (Just get a lv 50+ beartic, and icicle crash >_<).

Oh well....maybe we might see Deino again?

[Shneak]

Bobby's dub voice reminded me of Harley so much that it gave me nostalgia pangs.

[Swagsire]

Oh lord. Bobby. Why Bobby why. The relationship between Iris and Deino just wasn't there to me. It seemed like the writers were making it a 'Yup, she isn't catching every dragon' episode. The biggest character development I saw was that Cilan has back issues. Qwaa

[wobbanut]

I liked this episode a lot, it was nice seeing Iris try to bond with the sad little deino. I was surprised to see it's probably one of the only daycare episode where they don't walk away with an egg (see Phanpy and Eevee). I also liked Ash's reaction to the deinos stealing their food. LOL And Team Rocket's finally back, yay!!!!

8/10

Bobby looks a little too much like Cilan... It must be the eyes. Maybe they're long lost cousins?

[Sorren&Rocko]

Woah Woah... Bobby looks like Cilan? Well, it's the character design duh. Bobby = Prof. Elm

[duh]

Meh some parts of this episode were amusing, even if it was essentially just Iris bothering a Deino until it's trainer came back for it.

[Zoruagible]

I enjoyed this episode. I loved the part where Iris and Ash almost got a double capture. I felt sorry for poor Deino when his trainer was late.
