Hail to the Chef (418)

[Addydo]

Come on people, doesn't anyone agree with me that Sneasel Looked way too big in this episode!? Anyone?

[jynx]

Mr. Mime is actually a rarely seen Poke, not counting Delia's of course. I can't remember the last time we've seen a Mr. Mime that didn't belong to Ash's mom. Since all that Mr. Mime does is sweep the floors and clean dishes all day, it is nice to see another one have a major role for once.

Anyway...nothing is as overatted as Pikachu...

Actually, I think Delia can have other Pokemon.

[Geodude]

I didn't understand the ending. Was it Mr.Mime who won the contest? Nobody got to try thier food until then end but that was when both Pokemon were together.

Yeah, Mr. Mime won. Sneasel and its trainer gave up the restaurant and were about to leave, but her sister asked her to stay. So they ended up combining their talents. Sneasel was the chef who stayed in the background and actually cooked the food, while Mr. Mime used its psychic and creative abilities to put everything together and put on a show for the customers.

Come on people, doesn't anyone agree with me that Sneasel Looked way too big in this episode!? Anyone?

It was only a bit taller than Meowth, and a little over half the height of its trainer (not counting the feather on its head). Seems to me quite reasonable that it was fairly normal sized and the Mr. Mime wasn't fully grown or simply a small one.

But we should know by now that the anime Pokemon don't follow the game sizes explicitly. Just like with real animals there are average sizes, maximun sizes, minimun sizes and everything in between. Most nile crocodiles don't reach more than 15 feet long but some get over 20 feet long, you get my drift?

Heck look at what we've been shown. Ash's Noctowl is small for its kind (though Noctowls in general are smaller in the anime than in the games), we've seen Onix that grow larger than normal in areas where there is more food, an island of giant Rhydon and Pidgeot, not to mention the small size of the Dunsparce in their Johto episode (either they were babies or a pygmy population or made small for the anime reality as the games say they are around five feet long).

Just got around to watching this the other day, and I thought it was very good. The cooking contest was a unique idea, and there was a fair amount of comedy packed in there as well. And as if that wasn't enough, Resu and Toran were both really cute. ;D

Overall quite an entertaining episode.

[Yamato-san]

It's odd how simply wearing a black outfit made one twin (Resu) seem so much more attractive than the other twin (Toran).

Well, by not wearing pink, she seems less like a stereotype. The fact that she's not as focused as her sister on making everything look pretty is another stereotype-killer. Plus, in my personal opinion, Nyula's just a way cooler Pokemon than Bariyard, and I'm glad to see that others preferred Resu as well.

Considering they blew their chance to showcase Manyula and Manene, I really get the feeling that these characters will show up again sometime soon. The way Nyaasu seemed to have a changed opinion about Nyula near the end, as well as that look Nyula gave him before popping the balloon, seem as though they might be hinting at possible foreshadowing.

[Blaziken master]

Resu looks so Damned hot in that cute little maid's dress!Yowch!

[Tetsuya-san]

It's actually no surprise that Brock flirted over both of them, and flamed at Team Rocket angrily. The dinner references in this were very amusing, and having Max standing there while Brock was shaking his hand rather than Resu's was over-the-top. I laughed at Max's glasses. o.o;

[Saironi]

I actually thought the Sneasel might have started out liking Meowth at first. The was it was looking at him seemed like someone with a crush. And Jessie did make it seem like the Sneasel was a girl later on.

[Yamato-san]

actually, I'm pretty sure Nyula was a male. It sounded slightly masculine, and I noticed Nyaasu translated some of its dialogue using "ore-sama" (an extremely arrogant first-person form used by males.... although, females do use it, but in extremely rare cases).

[PlusleMinun]

Well, I just looked at KidsWB.com and it looks like the English title for this episode will be......... Hail to the Chef!

[SugarFairy]

I liked this epy 0.0 It was a really good epy ^^ And it was nice to see Mr.Mime again =D Same with Sneasel

[The Big Al]

A funny episode at least. Especially the hatred between Sneasle and Meowth. Though there wasn't much to write home about. The fillers between Noland and Greta were so lackluster.

7/10
It wasn't horrible but didn't really shine.

[CyberCubed]

The cartoony animation and exaggerated expressions made this one funnier than it would have been.

Oddly enough, I don't have much to say about this episode aside from the sisters being cute, and an interesting cook off. At least Brock's cooking skills finally had some purpose with the plot...yay!

And this was pretty cool:



Max's sister is inside his mouth. Funny, yet disturbing at the same time.

[EmbersBackUpSinger]

I just watched it! It was good though. I thought Manyula was in it by the pic on the website.

[Akane]

Oh my this episode was so great! I really enjoyed it. XD Seening Mr Mime and Sneasel cooking was pretty cool. Meowth and Sneasel really didn't like each other, lol. They kept on fighting. Like for example Sneasel will make the food for Jessie and James and they will love it and when Meowth tries...he doesn't like it. So he was thinking that Sneasel made his food wrong on purpose. That was funny. And the twin sisters...they aruge too. The one with Mr Mime means well, but her cooking wasn't too good at first. But the one with Sneasel even though the presentation wasn't great...the food was good. So with Brock and Jessie's help...they got better. But of course Jessie and James went back to the old ways...stealing Mr. Mime, Sneasel, and Pikachu. Mr. Mime and Sneasel did very well to free themselves and Pikachu. That was awesome. And then the twin sisters decided to make up and that is that. I thought it was nice and great. The animation was awesome as always. Thier expressions were priceless! ^__^ 10/10!

[Cobalt_Latios]

Probably one of the better episodes they've shown. Why is it that eveyone but Team Rocket is creeped out by the fact that Meowth can talk(oh wait never mind, there was someone way way back that was intrigued that Meowth could talk, nevermind). Sneasel had all the best gags. It purposely screwed up Meowth's meal to have the last laugh. Priceless. Then of course Mr. Mime's meal looked great, tasted horrible. Did anyone notice how the food counters look like something on those cooking shows?
nyways, I wasnt entirely expecting the 4th gen guys to appear, but it wouldve been quite entertaining. Funny how during the motto, Meowth isnt even with the group, forcing Jessie to use the same whip for snagging Mime, Pika and Sneasel on him. Then during the training session, isnt it funny how Jessie brings in a chunk of ice roughly her size and Sneasel converts into a ice sculpture of itself roughly 1/10 its own size. Then of course everything is settled in the end. One of the better episodes. We need a lot more comedy in this show, its starting to lack to some extent.

Anyhow, my rating: 7 1/2 on 10

[Riva]

I wonder why Sneasel was picking on Meowth. Maybe it just has a dislike for Meowth the same Meowth has a dislike for Persian?

[halloweenghost]

Not bad.. I enjoy seeing Sneasle and a Mr. Mime that isn't Ash's moms.
