Guarding the Guardian of the Mountain! (739)

[SmartD]

It was a good episode. Ash's training sequence was funny. I'm looking foward to the Gym Battle.

After this episode Krokorok began my favorite mon on Ash team!! Love it 8/10

BTW - Did Officer Jenny voice change? It sounds weird!!!

[AuraChannelerChris]

Volcarona gets a terrible debut. All it gets to do is lay around in a net.

I know. Brycen and his Beartic do a much better job guarding said mountain.

What's wrong with hunting Pokemon? Don't trainers do that all the time when they really want to catch a precise Pokemon?

Full disclosure here: that Volcarona was the guardian of a mountain so it shouldn't be captured or hunted.

Also, in this world, hunting Pokemon is like hunting animals for personal profit.

Good episode, but I've already seen it in Japanese. It was fun seeing Ash hurt himself in dub though.

Come on...I'm on pins and needles waiting for eps 84 and 85 so roxie and the koffing song can be translated.

[WaterDragon trainer]

This was a pretty good episode, though I feel like Volcarona could have done a bit more.

[HoennDreamer]

Loved the episode sooo much 9.4/10 and the soundtrack at the end sounded sooo nostalgic ahaha

[G4Pokefan]

Liked Volcarona's voice. Finally! A dubbed voice that's unique.

[vipsoccermaster]

Fine episode. Seeing Brycen was great as well. The Pokemon Hunter section was okay, but I do wish Volcarona could have done more.

I thought this was a great introduction to Brycen without actually fully introducing him until the last 10 seconds of the episode. I thought the training section was good, showing Brycen and Beartic's prowess which proves they will surely be tough opponents. I also enjoyed Ash's battle with the hunter and it showed that Krokorok could hold it own against 1 Jellicent but Brycen and Beartic managed to finish the battle and save the day!

On to the next one .

I thought the voice actor really did a great job with Brycen, his completely serious tone was a nice change of pace.

[halloweenghost]

Niot a bad episode. I liked it

thoguh the hunter's bike reminded me of Genesect

[Papousse]

I like the way how the men says "You'll have to beat my Jellicent" using this sentence for the two Jellicent, mwihih.
Anyway, I like this episode, but not too much, there was not a lot of action, and see Ash failed with Krokorok, not a lot interesting.

lol that magic cage just kept catching everyone. and i wonder why cilan didn't know he was a gym leader, shouldn't all gym leaders know each other?

No they don't.

Skyla had never met another gym leader until Cilan.

[halloweenghost]

No they don't.

Skyla had never met another gym leader until Cilan.

and in a past episode Brock had to ID himself with a boulderbadge to show he was a gym leader.. so it shows they are not as known as others would think.

Very decent episode, Brycen had a nice introduction & it was well paced. Only gripes I have I would've liked to seen more of Volcarona, TR would've been alot better than just some random hunter, & disappointed that Ash didn't use Pikachu to help him defeat the other Jellicent, but then we probably wouldn't have seen Brycen in action.

[the1stpkmnfan]

Really good episode. It wasn't until now that I actually like Brycen. When playing Black and White, I thought ht was bland, since he didn't appeal to me so much. Now that I fully see him as a movie star, has a pretty good character, rather series, he's growing on me. His actions, along with Beartic were spot on.

I also agree this Pokemon Hunter has nothing on J. Not even close. Tricking/Cheating are totally lame moves for a hunter, or anyone really.

Krokorok was awesome as well. I'm glad we got to see more of him during this episode. Both dedicated and silly!

Looking forward to watching the Gym Battle in a bit.

[wobbanut]

Mm, not the most interesting episode, and not the most interesting gym leader. The most interesting thing about the episode was it aired on Pokemon's 14th anniversary.

5/10

[Littlemyuu]

I like the episode, but thats just becausee of Volcarona :3
its voice was cool too! also nice to see Brycen of corse!

[Zoruagible]

It was a great episode. Volcarona seemed weak though. I laughed when Ash fell down the waterfall
