Evolution Exchange Excitement! (724)

[gliscor&yanmega]

Saw the pictures, looks enjoyable.

Wish Bianca kept both, oh well. At less she gave her Shelmet to someone who she knows will look after it, she can always see it whenever she likes.

I'm confused why Axew scared Shelmet for, seemed random, maybe it was attacked by Shelmet in the past(Although it never did anything when Bianca first showed Shelmet...Axew is clearly losing it's mind).

The battle looks nice. Ash uses Boldore again. Looked like a pretty high level battle too, Hyper Beams, Rock Wreckers...need to catch my breathe.

Klink and Klinklang debutted here...no Klang, I don't see why they couldn't just through it in there too, oh well.

Oh and old man Cedric comes out at the end of the episode and faints...cool. I like how the writers have these episodes go perfectly into each other.

I wish more episodes were like that. :/

[Dax]

You mean, Zeustle? : P

Oh my God! I do mean Zeustle! Forgive me father for I have sinned.

I actually agree about Bianca not caring about her pokemon. She doesn't care about Pignite and offers to trade him and now she trades Accelgor and doesn't even show that she misses it. She's kind of like the game trainer, only cares to win, not about the pokemon with the difference that she never wins.

[Nightlingbolt]

So Bianca's keeping Escavalier as opposed to Accelgor. Doesn't give me a crap ton of confidence that Boldore will become Gigalith.

i know this isn't the best place to discuss this, but maybe if Ash and Trip do trade, they could have Bianca on hand to witness it (the bond factor I mean.) , and have her realise that trading pokemon isn't as simple as one might think, maybe even make her miss her Shelmet/Accelgor and ask for it back and trade back with Juniper.

Just some food for thought.

Crustle is becoming the most deadly pokemon on the team's roster, and it's pretty deadly in battle with shell smash.

Maybe Boldore evolves like Politoed. The Johto region did show trade pokemon evolve without trading like this episode.

[Venomfang]

Holy crap that battle was intense! Bianca is kinda mean to her pokemon.

[00poke_maniac]

It isn't about the music though, it's about what happens and the fact that he defeated both trainers with a Crustle that has never been defeated is glorification.

Yeah but I mean if it had heroic epic music it'd seem more "glorified", Dento wasn't even congratulated for his awesome win. So it's Crustle that's being glorified, not Dento. My logic was that they did this because Crustle only got a few seconds of screentime in last episode (even though he "defeated" TRio) it wasn't much. Compared to Boldore who had a Gym Battle so that feels automatically a bit more..."eye catching" than battling Team Rocket.

[Joltik-Kid]

So...I was right about Twineedle on Escavalier...and partially right about Bianca keeping it...huh.

And to those who say she doesn't care...she took back her trade offer of Pignite for Zorua...though it didn't really matter since Luke wasn't gonna trade her anyway...but still

[Pepsi_Plunge]

I don't remember her taking it back, Luke refused that is why we didn't get it mentioned again.

I'll have to check the episode again but I really don't remember that.

I would have liked that she atleast said goodbye to Accelgor and showed some affection, she really seemed to care for it in the gym figth, she was feeding it after the figth and all(again if I remember well).

Maybe Boldore evolves like Politoed. The Johto region did show trade pokemon evolve without trading like this episode.

But Politoed evolved with the help of an item so ignoring the whole trade thing was easy.

They could just do a straight trade and trade back thing like we do in real life with our games but I don't see it happening for some reason :S.

I thought she did since she never forced the issue anymore that episode...but oh well

So was Butterfree the exception trade back in Kanto?

[Janovy]

There's also a possibility that it was explained in the episode why they didn't trade back. :/

By trade and trade back I mean, Shooti telling Satoshi lets trade to evolve our pokemons and then trade them back, Shooti is an example, I don't see this kinda of scenario happening lol specially with how they act towards each other or Shooti atleast, he did help him with Oshawott so I don't know.

luke refused and a little later bianca changed her mind, as if oblivious to cool hand lukes refusal

[_Taidow_]

Wow she kept Escavalier... hmm well. To be honest it's not as if Accelgor is gone for good. He is now owned by Juniper who does make frequent appearances. It's not as if he got released or went to a bad home.

[BurningSociety12345543210]

Ha! I was right about Bianca keeping Escavalier. And people kept changing my posts to say "Accelgor". >_>

This episode is why Bianca should have never existed in the anime. -_-

I hope Escavalier turns around one day and whacks her with the sides of his jousting things.

They're called lances.

[Caseydia]

Playerking forgets that she wanted to trade her own pokemons for Zorua : She doesn't care at all !! But Escavalier > Accelgor for Bianca

So what if she wanted to trade? Zorua is a super cool Pokemon. I would trade too. And I'm glad she only kept one Pokemon. No one she keep two Pokemon in one episode. I don't care how good both Pokemon are.

[Ciccone]

I didn't think the episode was all-that great to be honest. The episode summaries that we got before its premiere made it seem interesting, but there were a lot of stale moments. One of the things that I disliked was all the debuts that we got in this episode; the writers are going to hit a wall soon when they don't have any more new Pokemon to showcase. I also didn't like Professor Juniper's and Bianca's battle against Ash and Cilan, mainly because Cilan and Crustle were the stars of that battle, which shouldn't have happened. Cilan's constant wins are just getting really annoying now. Overall, the episode was average.

[gliscor&yanmega]

They're called swords.

Actually they're lances, which I do believe are different from swords.

[BurningSociety12345543210]

Right, lances. -facepalm-

Holy crap that battle was intense! Bianca is kinda mean to her pokemon.

You're forgetting, Accelgor isn't her pokemon.
