Evolution by Fire! (738)

[Royal_Qeca]

In Japan this episode achieved the lowest number of viewers (with 2,2) in the Pokemon anime history. Wow!

Well it is a bad rehash, after all. Japan was right to ignore this ep. They already knew Tepig evolves here anyway. ^^

Or, it could also be that this episode was aired during the Golden Week?

Feel free to educate yourself.

[BurningSociety12345543210]

Nah, that's ridiculous. Japan simply aquired a dislike of rehashes.

[Janovy]

No, it's not ridiculous. Why are you refusing to accept facts?

[Caseydia]

Yes, I AM a little harsh but it IS a FACT that he slept.... SO this proves his cold-bloodedness

His cowardness is proved everytime he hide behind any Pokemon to avoid battle with a strong-looking Pokemon

Him flirting to almost every single Female Pokemon need not to be proved as everyone knows

His overconfidence is shown soo many times that I didn't even care to recall

Him going to sleep doesn't show that he's cold blooded but how uneccessary and boring the Cilan and Iris notions were around him. If not that then, he must have not be interested.

Come on, bro. Don'tcha think it's more likely that Japan almost entirely got bored of pokemon?

Couldn't have put it any better myself.

Not really, since the Cilan episode got a 7.0

[Sparkleo]

Man, this guy was even worse than Damian in the original pokemon series.
He ditched Tepig, put up a fake face while doing it, pretended it was for good intentions, ADMITTED he did it, and when he lost to the very Pokemon he did it to, and had the nerve to ask it to leave Ash to rejoin him?!

Pignite had very right to burn him.

[MidnightMelody]

Since when does the Pokedex tell Ash a Pokemon knows a new move. Also is it just me or do Pokemon evolve in battle a lot more in BW then in the other series? Anyway good episode. love the court scene tbh

[pokefandt]

Since at least Clay's battle where he found out Boldore had two new moves.

[Demon Kitsune Yoko Kurama]

That guy's a jerk for saying those things about Tepig, this reminds me of Paul and Chimchar too.

This episode even had some funny looking faces up close.DP303.jpg
I love Snivy and all, but that face is too funny.

[SmartD]

A good episode. The court scene was amusing and Tepig's original trainer was a big jerk. Tepig evolving into Pignite was neat.

[_Taidow_]

Shamus should be ashamed of himself.

[WaterDragon trainer]

This was a pretty good episode. However, I did feel bad for Tepig after what Seamus did and I'm glad it burned him when he wanted it back. I never knew there would be a character worse than Paul.

[Raptor_Crow]

I cracked up at this part:

Shamus: Huh? Who's this yoyo?

Cilan (proudly): I am not a yoyo.

Already talked about the episdoe when it aired in Japan, but yeah, it was good to finally have Tepig's troubled past come up again.

[HatersGonnaHate]

I love the dub name they gave Suwama, it's really unique.

Same Cilan's response was epic. He did not get bad he just went with it lol

[RVD_fan]

One of my favorite episodes in the Best Wishes series, I think I preferred Shamus in the original Japanese but it's still a nice throwback to the Ash/Paul rivalry.

Hopefully Shamus returns in the league, like Conway he's powerful enough that you can buy him getting eight badges.

[Marbi Z]

Why do I get the feeling that Tepig is going to be the only starter of the 3 to evolve...

[Soaring Pikachu]

I don't normally bash B/W episodes but this one is especially terrible.

Firstly, we know that Ash is still 10 but the story is almost an exact copy of Charmanders episode from a long time ago. (except they actually meet the trainer here)

Next is that the fundamentals for the battles are all wrong. In previous seasons you could pick up a few tips that could be useful in one of the games but now the shows creators are just running around doing whatever the heck they feel like. Hitting a pokemon does not cure it from attract! (yes its overpowered in the anime but this show has been on for far too long to be making these kinds of mistakes)

And finally we have Ash sending out Snivy against 2 fire types, Even with a plot related reason to do so, thats just dumb. Come on people, please tell me we can do better than this.

[pokemonsquared]

Snivy is an example of the plot dictating how strong a pokemon is not logic.

1.The new kids watching may not have seen the first series

2.anime rules

3.Types don't always matter. I beat a friend's Magmortar with Bulbasaur once.

[Durian Seed]

Shamus should be ashamed of himself.

Wow, that's what they dubbed Suwama to..........

Didn't know he was Irish........

[DMerle]

Shamus, WHAT THE ****

First Maosomi to Montgomery, and now Shamus

oh dear god.
