There will obviously be spoilers in this topic, and if you couldn't tell that by yourself, I question how you learned to read, but GameFAQs mods have nailed me on lack of spoiler tags for worse stuff than this, so consider this to be your spoiler warning

Damn, I saw it was at 499 and didn't bother to check who'd bumped it to that number, so I typed that finishing post without knowing I wasn't ninjaing it from Gen.

Nice ranking, though I'd put Buizel I'm consistently competent tier myself.

And Sphinx kittens aren't cute btw. They look like gross aliens.

I just think it's REALLY unnecessary for Ash to battle 6 on 3. Like, it's original - but not in a good way. What right has Ash to challenge for a league if he can't beat a gym leader fairly?

--
Luster Reloaded: Damn, that's some crazy s***.

I know, even though Ash won his performance was terrible. I would rather have her underestimate Ash and have him win using only 3 of his pokemon.

Did I? Here it is.


DOUBLE-TIME BATTLE TRAINING
"What's causing your boot heels to be wandering?"
Score: 4/10

Zoey and a random trainer named Rebecca are battling for a ribbon while the heroes watch. Candice is here, too, and so is her kiai. Zoey wins decisively, gaining her fifth ribbon. Candice takes everyone out for a victory meal, and there Dawn learns about ice-cream-and-spicy food at the same time, because "sometimes things you'd never think go together go together really well." I wonder if this will be important later.

At night, Dawn trains with Piplup, Buneary, and Pachirisu to use bubble beam and ice beam, and whirlpool and discharge, at the same time. Zoey offers to help Dawn train the next day, and she of course accepts.

The next day, Ash sees a news interview between Rhonda and Paul, who just won his eighth badge. Ash and Brock run into Candice, who informs them that "Dawn's doing... Zoey... her kiai is peaking" (I didn't cut out any important words, trust me >_>).

Dawn has a ton of trouble with her combination attacks, so Zoey asks for a double battle to help her train. Zoey's Leafeon (ew) and Kirlia versus Dawn's Mamoswine and Cyndaquil (she decides fire and ice don't go together, so they go together really well). Mamoswine creates an ice... thing around Cyndaquil while it's on fire so it can tackle Zoey's pokemon while looking impressive, but it accidentally melts the ice and loses the battle. Still, the experience has be helpful for Dawn, and she departs with high spirits.

Jesus Christ, I don't even know. At least last season, but maybe even before that. I don't even remember if it was with May or Dawn.

Anna, have you noticed the lack of music in most DP dub episodes?

--
Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner

Ash Pokedex'ing a Koffing is terrible (haven't seen it, follow the dub). Another good thing with DP; when the wanted to tell about old Pokemon, Dawn would be the one to Pokedex them.

REGAINING THE HOME ADVANTAGE!
"Herp"
Score: 3/10

Okay, the new opening theme song... Eh. It's okay. Nothing special.

The heroes are walking along when they see a wild Magnezone smashing stuff up. They follow it to a town, where it continues to smash stuff up. They join forces with Officer Jenny, who literally does nothing the entire episode, and at one point Brock has to save her life. Magnezone can’t be stopped, but fortunately, a Metagross appears and fights it. Unfortuantely, they’re so strong that they start wrecking up the town. The heroes each send out their strongest pokemon to stop them, but Monferno, Happiny, and Mamoswine all get their asses kicked. By the way, notice something?


The heroes decide that this might have something to do with a nearby mountain using no logic at all, so they use Pikachu and Pachirisu’s thunderbolt and discharge on the sky to draw the wild pokemon to follow them to the mountain. There, they meet Chrispin, who patrols the mountain. Is that an actual job? Well, whatever. He explains that on the top of the mountain is a basin - normally empty, but currently full of water. This mountain is full of locations that give off "strange magnetic energy" that gets trapped in their bodies, so Magnezone and Metagross release that energy by battling in this basin. But since the basin is now full of water, they’re going into the town. Why aren’t they fighting elsewhere on the mountain? I don’t know.s

The heroes quickly find why the basin is full: a boulder has blocked a nearby river (on top of a mountain), which is causing the water to flow into the basin. They break the boulder, but the basin is still full, so the heroes have Buneary freeze the entire basin and Happiny lift all of the ice by itself,

And throw it into a nearby valley, where it no doubt falls on several hundred wild pokemon and kills them all. With the basin empty, the pokemon can now battle in safety. Ash is bored, so he has Gible use draco meteor for… some reason? And it of course hits Piplup and we actually get a whop-whop-whop-whooooooooop sound.

I actually had to cut out like a third of the episode from this write-up because it has so much padding. More padding than I’ve ever seen in a single episode. I mean, when your filler has filler, and you still need to draw things out by having Gible hilariously harm Piplup unprovoked, you need to go back to your creative writing class.

Ash meets a man who can teach Buizel ice punch, so he does. Absolutely no shenanigans involving Team Rocket happen whatsoever. Ash is called "Ashbwee." The end.

That marks a second episode in surprisingly little time in which I wish Pachirisu was actually involved. Dawnpachi.
The first was that water/electric slash episode. Wouldn't it have been more fun if Buizel and Pachirisu were also affected?
