Sweet Baby James (424)

[Missingno. Master]

OK, James getting Manene I can take....

But leaving Chimecho behind? HOLY CRAP! What the hell were those writers smoking?!

[CyberCubed]

WTF!!!! There's plans for a Cinderella 3?

Wait...there was a Cinderella 2?

What happened in that one? Did her evil step mother come back to get revenge or something?

not really, but that's the plot of Cinderella 3

[Squirtle_007]

Wow ... now that´s really sad ... here in Mexico Kojirou just got Chimecho, and in Japan is now gone ... well ... I want to see the good side of this:

* That´s give Kojirou more character development leaving his beloved Chimecho with people who would take care of it and preventing it for more blasting off
* That leaves Chimecho out of Musashi´s reach. I remember in the Minamo Contest how Combusken attacked it and I almost cry when the little wind chime was hit

I gonna miss Chimecho, but seeing the title of the episode makes a little sense, think about this (I just hope not see me to logical (^_^)):


House of Relaxation + Heal Bell = A use to Chimecho

And in another hand, Manene´s appeareance would be the foreshadowing for the next contest:
Manene vs. Munchlax, two 4th. generation baby Pokémon facing each other (hopefully) in the final match for the ribbon

[PlusleMinun]

This really stinks. In America James has only had Chimecho for about 12 episodes. It is sad that he gets rid of it. I seriously hope Chimecho comes back, even though there is no point in it. I was suspecting that Jessie would get Manene, anyway.

[MagicBox]

I couldn't be happier that James caught Manene. I just hope it does something, unlike Chimecho did. Speaking of Chimecho....

What is up with the writers? I seriously think they have forgotten that Pokemon trainers can have up to 6 Pokemon in their parties because they won't even let James have 3. Why did the feel the need to get rid of Chimecho (or Ludicolo, ahem) when James had more than enough room in his party for both of them. Besides, it was Chimecho. James loves that thing. I bet in the next few episodes, he won't even feel sad that he got rid of it. He'll just forget all about it like the other characters do. Whoopie.

Wait...there was a Cinderella 2?

Yes there was, but don't even bother with it. It's an example of how truly bad something with the Disney name on it can be. I have always been a fan of Disney movies, and I always will be, but that sorry excuse of a movie isn't even worth a single viewing.

[Briememory]

I would have hoped for James to pick up or even mention his Growlithe. Besides, this is a second Pokemon he had as a little kid. What a waste...

[Golden Darkness]

Ok.. seen the episode, and read up on people's thoughts at BMG.

Apparently, the mansion in question is an vacation mansion. I kinda figured it was the case. And don't rich people sometimes own more than one house?

Anyway, the old people in the episode, they are the caretakers of the mansion, which btw looks like a castle somewhat.

Since the major point has already been said, the other notable thing about this episode is that when Jessie is caught trying to steal the Pokemon from the mansion grounds, James and Ash actually team up to blast her off with Cacnea and Phanpy respectively.

[CyberCubed]

How does the scene play out exactly when James decides to leave Chimecho there? I hope it's very emotional.

[Golden Darkness]

Seems to be emotional. Both James and Chimecho were in tears.

Anyway... Manene coming along was kinda an accident. James was trying to get Chimecho's Pokeball for the caretakers to have when a couple of empty Pokeballs fell out of his pocket. Then Manene walks up to one and hits the capture trigger button, and then you know.. it's captured.

[Eric Cartman]

This is seriously ****ed up. I knew the writers were dense, but I can't believe it has gone to this all time low.

[Ethereal]

I really fail to see the big problem with James dumping Chimecho for Manene. Let's face it, Chimecho didn't do a dang thing other than do a cry after the Team Rocket motto....And its Heal Bell like, once during its lifespan.

Other than that, the dumb thing was dead weight....Just like in the games. It takes WAY too long to find that thing, and then you discovered it's crap. Not just Parasect crap, but LUVDISC crap. Yes, Chimey is THAT bad.

But back on topic, Chimecho just served no purpose. The writers saw that they screwed up with it, so they decided to give James a Manene, a Pokemon that they can do a lot with. They also see the same with Mudkip, apparently, judging from what we're hearing about the episode after this. ;/

[Wind Waker]

Yes, chimecho did nothing, but I well appreciated it being there. The idea did take me by surpise, and although i hate it, kudos to the writers, not too much though. manene better very well do everything chimecho couldn't, and the ep better damn well bring me top tears when i see it,

[Chatsy]

Did James decide to leave Chimecho behind because it was still ill, or didn't he want to take the risk of it getting hurt anymore?

Either way, Munchlax was ill too, but otherwise it got no honorable scenery. 8D
I am a little "WTF" at James willing to team up with Ash to blast Jessie and Meowth away. He must've really had respect for the old couple and their mansion.
From what I could see of James' flashback of his childhood, he seems to have met the old couple before. Guess that explains the respect for them.

The animation truly has improved lately. What happened, did the budget go up or the animationcrew win a bet or something?

[Lupin]

Well, that was unexcepted. James leaving his Chimecho behind. After he made such a big deal about getting it in the first place. It didn't even stay that long (well longer than some of Ash's pokemon, but you know what I mean).

How long do you think it will be before Jessie asks if she can borrow it for a contest?

[The Big Al]

Anyway... Manene coming along was kinda an accident. James was trying to get Chimecho's Pokeball for the caretakers to have when a couple of empty Pokeballs fell out of his pocket. Then Manene walks up to one and hits the capture trigger button, and then you know.. it's captured.

You have got to be frakking me! That stupid clown pulls a Psyduck? Oy oy...*many oys later*...oy oy oy. This looked ike such a good episode but now it looks like a horrible one.

[Flamez]

Seen the episode, and the farewell james and chimecho had was very emotional, they had flashbacks of how chimecho came with james and when jessie used it in the contest. We got to see a new side of james. Cacnea beat the living crap out of seviper.lol. It was confused when james told it to attack seviper. Manene was cute i dont like the fact that they left chimecho but i like it that james got manene although it imitating people could get annoying at some point, it got quite attached to james already. In my opinion a very nice episode you people should definetely watch it. Also i think james is the best damn character made.lol.

[Thriller]

This must be the first time in the series James has made TR blast off even though he wasnt with them.

Who wants to bet that when 4Kids gets a hold of this episode they will have the twerps call James by himself 'Team Rocket' like they do all the time when they see either him or Jessie alone.

There was a Weepinbell in a flashback scene, could this be the same Victreebel we enjoyed during Johto?

[Serebii]

No as we saw the Flashback where James caught that Weepinbell using Weezing

[Dogasu]

I have a request guys; can we keep the memorials to Chimecho in our sigs and user titles to a minimum? When people who are trying to not get spoiled see sigs with people mourning the loss of Chimecho, they're going to figure out what happened. It's not fair to the people who are trying to avoid spoilers.

Thank you.
