Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige! (759)

[Dwail8023]

Next to nothing about his actual character has changed in BW, it's the same "I'm mentally dumb but I love all Pokemon and Pokemon battles, gotta battle and catch Pokemon and battle and win badges and battle and act all excited about everything like a typical kid hero in a Shonen series and BATTLE!" Yet his skills as a trainer have been set back, and so everyone is crying that his "character development" has been undone and that the whole show is ruined. My solution? Just get rid of Ash already.

*Claps loudly and vigorously*

Finally got to see the dub episode. How could she say Tsutarja was unattractive without bursting into flames? xD Anyways, what Iris did was really smart with Leaf Storm. She handled Tsutarja really well.

If Ash does leave the show, he better win a League before he leaves. It would really upset me if he doesn't.

This is one of the few times i wanted the enemy COTD to win. Sadly it didn't happen. Moira is so much more beatuiful than all of them.

Except cilan. He wears that dress like a boss.

OMG watched one second of the dub.

I gotta hand it to Jason for this. Holy crap, it was amusing for him to be hitting higher notes than AshLEY.

[Marbi Z]

Hmm... ASHley... That sounds familier... Anyway why does Ash have no recollection of Rosarade!? He only encountered it like a hundred times in Sinnoh! It's obvious that the writers must figure that no one who watched the Sinnoh Saga watches the current Unova Saga! And what's with (Adventures in Unova) what is this the beginning? They already had like a hundred already! Now if it said (NEW Adventures in Unova) then it be a bit more understandable. One more thing! If your going to feature Ash's reserve Pokemon in the title sequence they better actually show up at some point this season! And I don't like how Cinncino was advertised... Tail slap hit's at least twice!

Yeah. Jason's Cilan is pretty good.

It should sound familiar, actually. It's the same pseudonym Ash used when trying to get into Erika's Gym in Celadon City.

They have to cater to people who haven't seen the show before considering it's made for kids. And Ash does know Roserade, he just happens to be the only one with a Pokédex, so he has to do all the scanning. If he doesn't explicitly say out loud that he doesn't know the Pokémon, then he's probably scanning it for the audience or Iris.

Ironic since the Pokedex info can be irrelevant to the story at hand which makes it kinda... useless in a way.

One more crossdressing episode. It never gets old.

[duh]

One more crossdressing episode. IMO it's getting old. I agree with Battra, Iria came off as an ***hole with her petty attempt to get vengence on some random person. Nice message this (boring) episode sends.

At least BW is almost over which means no more Iris. Personally can't wait because I found most episodes focusing on her have been dull.

[diakyu]

Iris is a freaking child. I would've reacted the same way back when I was a kid. Nobody is gonna make fun of my Pokemon and get away with it.

Which is ironic since she's supposed to be mature here.

That doesn't make it right and it doesn't send a good message.

[Shneak]

Saw the dub version today and enjoyed it as much as the japanese one. Still a hilarious episode. I love Cilan's remark that Ash never looks at a mirror.

Who says there was a message lol? Most episodes don't have one, but if you want one then it's not to let anyone put you or your friends down. Iris was over the top (in a cartoon lol), but she was clearly not in the wrong.

I LOVE the season 16 theme and credits. It's my favorite so far of the Unova openings. This episode was good. The number one thing I'm glad about is that those ladies weren't as mean during the rest of the episode as they were at the beginning. They were still rude and arrogant but weren't half so mean in the second half. It was a little weird seeing Ash and Cilan in drag again, but otherwise the episode was fine. My favorite line was Ash complaining that he'll never be able to look at himself in the mirror again, and Cilan saying he never does. LOL

7/10

[Azimuth1011]

When I saw this episode... I didn't last that long calm and level-headed. Moira's antics really annoyed me at first, but there were a lot of humorous scenes which kept me steady. Anyhow, I'm glad to know that those three weren't so annoying towards the second half of the episode but... they're still vindictive.

Moreover, I'm surprised that Ash and Cilan had to crossdress again, which was kinda funny.

"I'll never be able to look at myself in the mirror again.."
"Ssh! You never do!"

^ XDDD
