Evolution by Fire! (738)

[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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

[pokemonsquared]

I did something similar with my venusaur vs an entei on emerald BF entei used rock slide I used sleep power then leech seed and sub and then just used sleep powder every turn until entei fell from the seeds.

Shamus is probably the writers saying shame on you for abandoning tepig.

oh dear god.

You can't expect them to use those Japanese names for the dub.

[00poke_maniac]

You can't expect them to use those Japanese names for the dub.

That's what I don't get...the way I see it is if the writers intended them to be Japanese why doesn't the dub use them? Is there something wrong with that?

[Hero of Ideals]

Well in Japan and English dub, names have meanings to them. It's a anime thing, look up the names to OHSHC, you might learn somethings.

[lolipiece]

Shamus, WHAT THE ****

First Maosomi to Montgomery, and now Shamus

oh dear god.

What's wrong? Both are names.
