The episode stars with Ash is looking at his badges and then the group runs into Stephan and Stephan tells them about the race.

Ash looking at his badges and proud. They find Stephan. They see the tower. This is exiting!

That tower was just apart of his fantasy.

But it is in the distance.

Cilan doesn't like it for some reason, maybe because of the Litwick.

There is a Ducklett here, the calendar didn't lie.

Dent is excited, people will whine he stole the spotligth.

[Pepsi_Plunge]

Kenyan is fired up and seems to tell them about the competition.

Urgh people do this everyweek... why are you talking about this, this week even though you post here every week?

Its actually nice, today I'm at home due to my shift but last week I was at work and I liked to read people post telling me what was happening.

There are people who can't watch the episode and want to know what happens.

[Quintsa]

[Zya]

You don't need to be in Japan to watch it, there's satellite channels you can buy. You can also watch it online, but that's illegal.

No it isn't. We're using a legal way.

[Zya]

X3333 Dento...you're you're.....so cute.

PFFFT KENIYAN AS NURSE JOY!!! XDDD

[playerking]

They had a flashback to seeing the store that sells Castelia Cones.

Reiji uses Elgyem to mess with Mile's choice, lol.

This was just one of those episodes...where I had to comment on almost everything.

- Pfft, I like how Ash acknowledges that he's seen a Sawk already before dexing it. Such an obedient kid, embarassing himself just to waste screen time.
- Dent doesn't believe in wishes because he doesn't need them.
- Kenyan doesn't know the starter types. I bet As-HOLY CRAP even the reset Ashy boy knows! No wonder the kids who got it wrong are crying.
- Crap. Brock would've been perfect for that Jenny/Joy question. I was even half expecting Ash to feel homesick.
- The fishing sommelier rod should become an official game item.
- Ash would've ragequit being pokemon master if the Pikachu he's had over 700 episodes evolved cuz some random kid threw a thunderstone at it.
- Then again, he could just press the B button...
- I bet Dent just carries a wonder launcher in his backpack for fun.
- Honestly I thought the nevermeltice kid was a better attempt at cheating than the TwistedSpoon. Mile is just being a sad judge.
- Nothing much to say about the generic water race with generic four places catch.
- Ash as Alder is probably the most adorable thing.
- Kenyan as Joy is probably the most disturbing thing.
- Okay now Mile is just being a sad pervert. (Dent gets trolled. lol)
- I've convinced myself that Dent just got rejected for being too fabulous.
- I don't see why Kenyan and Ash are so tired. They walk like 16 hours a day, one of whom used to fall and climb out of pit traps on a daily basis.
- I think this is the first time we've seen wild Litwick/Lampents/Chandelures who don't want to cremate our heroes into ashy bits.
- Light Screen not working on Air Slash? Holy crap are the writers actually following the game?!
- Yeah, that kid is annoying. The sad thing is I don't think he knows he's cheating. At least the episode isn't going on a "cheating is bad and you will not make friends" charade. Nope. Everyone was too focused on winning to care about today's COTD :3
- Ash gets trolled. lol.
- The guy who thought rock was a starter wins, cool.

This was just one of those episodes which was fun to commentate on. I liked it despite the overall pointlessness. Of course, pointless episodes can sometimes be the most enjoyable and I have to say this is one of them.

JUST YOU WATCH. In BW2 Dento's going to give you an ULTRA SPARKLY FIBER GLASS ROD and with it you can catch LV. 90-100 Magikarps

That sounds about right.

- Light Screen not working on Air Slash? Holy crap are the writers actually following the game?!

I hope they change the light screen to reflect in the dub, or say that air slash missed or something... It could happen, they corrected the Wing Attack error in the previous episode...

Also I want to see how Jason Griffith handles the crossdressing time
