Battling the Leaf Thieves! (735)

[HoennDreamer]

This has to be one of the finest episodes i have seen in along while! i loved it, the voice's were perfect the music was amazing i loved every bit of the episode 11/10 ohhmygawsh it was simply breathetaking and axew is the cutest :3

I was shocked to see an evolution so early in the episode but leavanny was really charming making all those clothes as a kind gesture. It was funny to see Emolga's and Snivy's reaction to them though lol. The adventure was good, I really enjoyed it, and the moments with Cilan in the cave was funny too .

On to the next one .

Evolution at the start of the episode? That never happens.

Do we really need to add another annoying quirk to the group? Especially for a pokemon that has been here for a long time.

Finally a scouting mission, and Emolga takes it because Unfezant isn't here.

How dumb are these Durant? I don't think they want to eat Axew, and it was pretty obvious that he wasn't a leaf. Also, why did they go all the way to the forest to get a small stack of leaves when there were trees all around?

Protect isn't directional. At least it wasn't in DP. It made a full protective bubble.

Is it just me, or does Emolga sound different?

Geez... Complains, complains, complains.

I love Swadloon evolving since bug and psychic types are my favorite, so I'll give this episode:

Sub: 85/100
Dub: 55/100

[WaterDragon trainer]

This was a decent episode, thought I didn't really have much comments about it other than the fact that I was expecting Durant to sound more menacing.

[Battra]

51 that is the number of episodes between Swadloon's last appearance & this episode and were supposed to believe that it had a high enough friendship level for it to evolve, hooray for more crappy writing on Pokemon. Also can we have Leavanny stop acting like a stereotypical gay with it's movements, cause that's what we need in a kids show.

Gay or not, I'm glad he at least has a personality and isn't dead like Boldore.

Geez... Complains, complains, complains.

That would work better if you were not spamming/complaining in saying that. You know the user was doing what the thread was meant for: discussing the show. Complaints are still discussing it.

Besides, Leveanny have a positive personality going on, and Ash's Leavanny is no different. I'm really glad Ash finally has a new fully evolved Bug type, and this one is quite powerful when you think about it.

[vipsoccermaster]

A fine episode. Nice to see Swadloon evolving into Leavanny, and the quest to rescue Axew was okay. The best part was seeing most of Ash's Pokemon and Iris's Emolga.

[Caseydia]

I like Leavanny more than Swadloon. I didn't like that Axew was kidnapped again. But I did like that Scraggy was trying to help. Maybe if Iris was Scraggy for a day....Nevermind.

Excuse me?

Pretty solid for a mostly filler episode. Seeing an evolution at the very beginning, and not even within a major battle, was quite different and refreshing. I also like that they expanded upon Leavanny's abilities beyond just battling while keeping it interesting.

[BurningSociety12345543210]

Excuse me?

Ash's Leavanny is male.

But I did like that Scraggy was trying to help. Maybe if Iris was Scraggy for a day....Nevermind.

lol Nice one, Caseydia. n_n

[jammiedodger]

Ash's Leavanny is male.

And that justifies homophobic language?

[BurningSociety12345543210]

And that justifies homophobic language?

Ah, that's what you meant. Please be more specific next time.

[jammiedodger]

Ah, that's what you meant. Please be more specific next time.

I suppose I hoped that it was obvious.

I guess it's quite a shock for some people that creatures like Pokémon would have no human-defined gender roles or mannerisms.

[Crimson_Blazer]

So the narrator in this episode made me realize that im pronouncing Iccirus wrong, apparently its Ice-sir-us, not Ick-er-us. It actually mkes sense...ice is iccirus' gym type, im an idiot...

[jammiedodger]

^ I wouldn't worry, because I was also pronouncing it that way.

I still haven't got over the true pronunciation of Illumise and Roselia.

[wobbanut]

I still liked Ash's leavanny best when it was sewaddle, it evolved far too soon. Despite that, this was a cute episode. I liked Snivy and Emolga's less-than-enthusiastic responses to their leaf hoods, and I LOL'd at the female durant's freakout when she saw the males getting hit with attract.

7/10

[Zoruagible]

It was nice seeing Swadloon evolve. It was sad another chance at a capture was wasted though.
