Anagram 07/30/12 4:25:00 PM #252:	GOTTA CATCH A ROGGENROLA! "Oy vey! It's the twerp!" Score: 5/10 The heroes are eating lunch when a wild Roggenrola appears and destroys their food in an attempt to get their attention - I've already made a joke about episodes starting with pokemon eating or destroying their food, so whatever. Roggenrola is freaking out and trying to tell them something, so Ash decides to catch it because it's clearly not trying to tell them about something important. Unfortunately for Ash, Roggenrola defeats Oshawott because I guess the writers want Tepig to be Ash’s stronger pokemon after Pikachu, so Ash throws out Tepig. Hilariously, though, Roggenrola kicks Tepig's ass. When Tepig falls unconscious, the heroes are all extremely concerned it's hurt and run to a pokemon center, as opposed to when Oshawott fell unconscious and they were like “Oh, Roggenrola is pretty strong.” Roggenrola keeps trying to tell them something, but they just ignore it and it sadly runs off. At the pokemon center, Nurse Joy heals their pokemon and tells them that there's no running water. The plumber (who, by the way, will be in almost every shot for the rest of the episode as he travels with the heroes, but will do absolutely nothing) tells her that nothing is wrong with the pipes, so something must be wrong with "the cave." Yes, you see, this pokemon center pipes its water in from a cave instead of, you know… wherever regular buildings get water from, I guess. I don’t really know. The heroes mention the Roggenrola they met, so Nurse Joy, knowing that Roggenrola rarely leave their cave, decides something must be wrong in there. The plumber decides to go to the cave, and since small children are the best back-up ever, the heroes go with him. Cut to the cave: Team Rocket is stealing the wild Roggenrola. Why? Doctor Monocle has designed a cannon that forces Roggenrola placed in it to fire a powerful beam. This is much more practical than a gun. The heroes reach the cave, where they see the wild Roggenrola. It leads them into the cave, and the plumber sees why the water source is cut off - someone collapsed some boulders onto it. By the way, we never learn why Team Rocket bothered damming up the water source. Team Rocket appears and reveals their Roggenrola device (by the way, Jessie and James switch their positions between shots). They escape the cave, then use their weapon to collapse the cave entrance. By the way, Ash saves the main Roggenrola, thus impressing it because dammit, Ash is the hero and if you didn’t learn that in the previous seven hundred episodes well then here is a reminder. Fortunately, now that Excadrill is listening to Iris, it and Pansage dig the heroes out with no particular difficulty. Despite Team Rocket escaping into a nearby abandoned warehouse (in the middle of the woods), Roggenrola can hear where its friends are. The heroes attack, but to literally only their surprise, Team Rocket just uses the cannon again. The main Roggenrola uses flash cannon to counter the beam (because I guess Doctor Monocle’s cannon is as effective as one wild Roggenrola), and Ash takes advantage of the opportunity to tell the Roggenrola to not go along with it. Well, apparently this is all it takes, and they reverse the energy of their cores or something, I don't know, and destroy the cannon. Literally all it took was telling them not to do it. That is just… I don’t know. The heroes take all of the Roggenrola to Nurse Joy, and we even get the plumber telling us that he wrote a report to his superiors telling them to fix the water supply problem. Wow, good thing we got closure on the water supply subplot. Roggenrola challenges Ash to a battle, so Ash chooses the worst possible option: Tepig. Tepig wins and Ash catches a new pokemon to never use. Have fun with Pidove and Swadloon, broseph! -- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.

Anagram 07/30/12 4:42:00 PM #254:	ARCHEOPS IN THE MODERN WORLD! "I guess science can be pretty awesome sometimes." Score: 3.5/10 Professor Juniper and Fennel have received a plume fossil from Lenora, and they hope to restore it in Fennel’s lab, which is apparently so close to the heroes that Juniper had no problem with inviting them to watch. By the way, Fennel talks about how exciting this is, jumping around and dancing and acting nothing like how she acted in the previous episode with her, and is almost always blushing for some reason. I’m serious, she blushes when she types stuff in a computer. She sends out her Musharna to go to sleep and its dream energy to power the machine. Despite having literally no assistants, Fennel’s process is successful, and out of her machine comes an Archen and three tiny seeds no one notices. Archen spends some time freaking out and such while Fennel and Juniper talk excitedly about how much they’ll learn from it. Eventually it calms down, but it can’t eat any modern food, and every time it makes it cry, the seeds grow - but no one is in that room, and thus no one notices the seeds growing into large vines. By the way, seeds grow without sunshine, water, or dirt, didn’t you know? Finally, the vines grow so large that they consume Fennel’s laboratory, and she is not freaked out by this at all. She’s surprised, but quickly comes to say “eh” and considers just letting Archen have the damn place as its new home. The vines sprout some fruit, and Archen eats them, causing it evolve for some reason even though it’s like two hours old. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is trying to hack into Fennel's building, because James is a master computer hacker (?!). Doctor Monocle desperately wants the information in Fennel's computers about the pokemon restoration machine - even though it uses Muuna’s dream energy, he still has the dream energy Team Rocket stole in an earlier episode. James’ hacking is successful, so Jessie decides to try to steal Archeops as well, because why not? Sadly, their attack only succeeds in accidentally setting Archeop’s vine on fire with shadow ball. Archeops is saddened by this, but as the sun sets, several wild Archeops appear to take it with them. Where did they come from? "Some hidden place... that has allowed them to survive all these millions of years." Yep, apparently there’s a place in Unova where, for millions of years, giant ancient birds have been chilling without human interaction. Juniper and Fennel are completely fine with Archeops leaving, even though they had hoped to study it. At the end of the episode, we learn Doctor Monocle plans to do something with the data James stole. How foreshadowy. -- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.

Anagram 08/01/12 4:54:00 PM #266:	A FISHING CONNOISSEUR IN A FISHY COMPETITION! "Fishing! It's not as easy as you think! No it's nooooooot!" Score: 5/10 The heroes are in an unnamed city when they run into Bianca, who, because Barry’s gimmick of running into people was so funny the first time, runs into Ash and knocks him into a river with a Frillish no one notices. I very much like Ash’s response to her. Normally, Ash is always ready to forgive people and tell them it’s okay when they do whatever, but here he’s clearly annoyed with her but won’t actually say it. Anyway, Bianca tells the heroes about a fishing competition, so everyone decides to enter. Cilan is especially excited because he’s a master fisherman or something. Unfortunately, the fishing competition is run by a disguised Team Rocket. Their plan? Let people fish up water pokemon (all of which are Basculin) and then steal them to use to conquer Unova. Yep. Team Rocket plans to conquer Unova with several dozen Basculin. Good luck there, fellas. The rules: catch yourself a water pokemon with a pokeball given out by Team Rocket. Apparently, Bianca has never before seen a pokeball in her life. Team Rocket supplies everyone with rods, and Cilan selects a beginner rod for Bianca, but brought his own custom-made rod to use. That’s right, Cilan. Let your competition use the crummy mass-produced rods while you bring some unbeatable super rod to use, all while acting like a nice guy. After some derpy Bianca moments in which she derps around, Cilan tells everyone about the world of professional fishing. I've got to tell you, I have been fishing. It is the most boring sport, and I’ve been to actual baseball games. I’ve been to cheerleading competitions (got dragged by my cheerleader sister). I’ve been golfing. I don’t give out “most boring sport” lightly, but fishing earned it. Anyway, Cilan catches a Basculin, but the rest of the heroes fail to catch anything at all. Bianca gets a huge bite, and Cilan helps her reel it in - it is the same Frillish from before, but it attacks Ash for literally no reason, so they’re forced to drive it away rather than catch it. Sorry, potential new pokemon! Trip already has you and you’re not marketable like the Snivy line, so there’s no room for multiples! During the confusion of the Frillish fight, Team Rocket tries to escape with everyone's entries, but Frillish gets rid of their getaway boat (I guess it knew they were evil?). Team Rocket is caught and introduces itself, and after they explicitly say that they’re Team Rocket, Ash declares that they're Team Rocket. They try to escape with the pokeballs again, but Frillish steals the pokeballs and releases all of the Basculin. Thus, Team Rocket instead escapes with their jetpacks (instead of just using them to begin with?) while Bianca declares that with jetpacks and a name like “Team Rocket,” they must be rocket scientists. Bianca leaves to go get more gym badges, and the narrator claims the heroes protected the water pokemon when in fact they did literally nothing and Frillish was the hero of the episode. I’m sorry, guys. I truly am, but… I kind of like Bianca. -- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig. Started: July 6, 2005 <cite>Anagram posted [p:1302103] in Anagram Ra...

I can’t tell) and learn that the next Pokemon Knights movie is being filmed here. What's Pokemon Knights? Some kind of shonen thing, I guess. Cilan waxes on and on and about how much of an expert he is on film, to a point where I begin to wonder if there is anything this man is not an expert on. As they wander through the town, they meet the lead actress! Who turns out to be a Zorua impersonating her, and Ash scans it because I guess he’s never seen a Zorua before. By the way, Zorua reveals its identity immediately after the heroes see it, so I really have to wonder how these things earned the title “master of illusions.” Shortly thereafter, Zorua’s owner, a kid named Luke, shows up with his inexplicably shiny Golett. Luke tries to grab Zorua, but it just escapes. Luke explains that he’s an aspiring director and Zorua is his lead actress - by the way, it’s a girl Zorua, this is important. He explains that he was shooting a scene and instructed Zorua to turn into a pirate and a knight, but it got angry, turned back into a princess, and ran off. As they search for Zorua, Luke explains how he met it: he was working as a projectionist (after all, he's ten years old) when he noticed that actresses in the movies kept appearing in the theater. Eventually he confronted one of them, and found it was a Zorua, which instantly agreed to star in his movies because it’s not like Zorua wouldn’t be the most sought after pokemon ever by professional directors for moviemaking purposes. They find Zorua at the theater, and because “figuring out the obvious” is Cilan’s gimmick, he realizes that Zorua only wants to play the role of the princess because it's a girl, and dislikes crossdressing, I guess. I don’t know. Since the movie needs more than one actor, the heroes agree to help, and Cilan tells everyone that "a friend in need is a friend indeed." That's... like the least appropriate phrase ever for this situation. The heroes help Luke make costumes and a plot, which you would assume would take hours, but apparently not and they get done building a massive fake ship that’s like three stories tall in an afternoon. The plot? One day, a pirate (Cilan) kidnaps a princess (played by Zorua, but voiced by Iris) because only she knows how to find the kingdom's treasure. A knight (Ash) overcomes obstacles to find the Dragon Master (Iris) and rescues the princess. This… honestly does sound like every movie I’ve seen in my entire life, I will admit. -- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.

Anagram 08/07/12 4:13:00 PM #283:	We get a lot of filming in the middle of the episode, and these scenes are actually pretty good. The first few scenes are perfect, and they come to the final battle. The scene goes perfectly and Ash defeats Cilan, but Team Rocket appears in a hovercraft and kidnaps Zorua. I love how Team Rocket is completely surprised when their hovercraft is destroyed by a shadow ball. They have absolutely no precautions for if someone attacks them as they commit blatantly illegal actions. Cilan decides this is perfect for ad libbing, and throws off his pirate costume, saying that Team Rocket mind controlled him into being a villain. Iris and Cilan (but oddly enough, not Ash) combine their powers to fight Team Rocket in a scene that makes it clear that Jessie and James had absolutely no chance of success and thus, from a movie’s perspective, nothing is actually at stake. Team Rocket escapes, but during the battle, it’s revealed that the princess is a Zorua, so, knowing that the "Zorua is the princess" bit is ruined, it's “revealed” that Iris is the princess, and she disguised Zorua as herself. Um… not to be weird about things, but, uh… Iris looks like this, And Zorua’s character looks like this. Well, whatever, we see that Luke's movie was a huge success, and the theater owner mentions a battle tournament in Nimbasa City that would be good to enter for Luke so he can learn more about shooting battle scenes - this is a convenient excuse for a filler arc, I guess, so the heroes all decide to enter as well.

Anagram 08/08/12 4:18:00 PM #295:	REUINION BATTLES IN NIMBASA! "Battling Ash will be like drinking a flat glass of seltzer water." Score: 6.5/10 The heroes reach Nimbasa Town, which is not Nimbasa City but instead a town a few miles away. It’s most famous for its giant Ferris wheel, because apparently that’s a thing you’re allowed to be proud of. Also here are Luke, Bianca, Stephan (remember him?), Burgundy, Georgia, and Trip, and they’re all entering the tournament. It’s nice how Burgundy has gotten even more annoying by speaking every fourth word in French for absolutely no reason. For whatever it’s worth, I kind of do like Georgia in this episode more, but I admit it is for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Luke starts filming himself introduce the battle tournament, apparently having turned into a journalist instead of a director, which is... not the same thing. Bianca starts staring directly into the camera because she’s apparently never seen one before, and then tries to trade her Pignite for Luke's Zorua. Wow, seriously? That’s your first pokemon it and ***ing loves you, you evil girl. The heroes go to Don George to register for the tournament, and somehow Iris and Cilan are still amused by the Don Georges all looking identical. The announcer for the battle tournament is Freddy, a guy who looks like the dad of your best friend from middle school. The prize will be a rare set of wings that improve your pokemon or something, it's not really made clear. Each competitor registers three pokemon to choose from, but the actual battles are one-on-one. We learn the upcoming battles for round one: Georgia versus Blue-Haired Guy, Burgundy versus Ash, Trip versus Cilan, Stephan versus Bianca, Luke versus Random Guy, and Iris versus Jimmy Ray. I do appreciate that the tournament actually does show us battles between the unimportant trainers, but it is admittedly kind of boring because we don't care when Nameless Guy 1’s Venipede loses to Nameless Guy 2’s Tranquill. The only one of note is Dino, and only because he's dressed like an extra from Road Warrior. Georgia's Beartic versus Sylvester's Joltic. Joltic is just too quick to hit, but Beartic accidentally crushes it when it falls on its back, giving Georgia an easy victory. That’s… pretty damn lame. Burgundy versus Ash. Cilan reminds Ash that she owns a Dewott and a Sawsbuck, no doubt trying to give him an unfair advantage by helping only one side of the battle he’s supposed to be neutral in, but it doesn’t matter anyway because she sends out a Stoutland. Ash’s choice? Palpitoad, who by the way acts nothing at all like it did in its debut episode. What’s weird is that every single person at the tournament acts like Ash’s choice is the most bizarre thing ever, like why would you ever choose a pokemon that’s neutral* to something. Burgundy uses thunder fang, and then when it does nothing, she reveals that this is part of her plan: now that Stoutland's teeth are around Palpitoad, it can use ice fang and freeze it. Even though she could have just used ice fang to begin with. A supersonic breaks the ice, and a mud shot/hydro pump combo finishes Stoutland off while Burgundy shouts things in French over the unnecessarily heroic music playing in the background. Everyone (except Trip and Burgundy) is extremely excited for Ash’s victory for some reason. Particularly strange is Bianca’s screaming for Ash, as if she had any stake in this whatsoever. Next up: Trip versus Cilan and a To Be Continued. Honestly, this is a pretty decent episode, but Burgundy is so damn annoying. -- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.

We learn the upcoming battles for round one: Georgia versus Blue-Haired Guy, Burgundy versus Ash, Trip versus Cilan, Stephan versus Bianca, Luke versus Random Guy, and Iris versus Jimmy Ray. I do appreciate that the tournament actually does show us battles between the unimportant trainers, but it is admittedly kind of boring because we don't care when Nameless Guy 1’s Venipede loses to Nameless Guy 2’s Tranquill. The only one of note is Dino, and only because he's dressed like an extra from Road Warrior. Georgia's Beartic versus Sylvester's Joltic. Joltic is just too quick to hit, but Beartic accidentally crushes it when it falls on its back, giving Georgia an easy victory. That’s… pretty damn lame. Burgundy versus Ash. Cilan reminds Ash that she owns a Dewott and a Sawsbuck, no doubt trying to give him an unfair advantage by helping only one side of the battle he’s supposed to be neutral in, but it doesn’t matter anyway because she sends out a Stoutland. Ash’s choice? Palpitoad, who by the way acts nothing at all like it did in its debut episode. What’s weird is that every single person at the tournament acts like Ash’s choice is the most bizarre thing ever, like why would you ever choose a pokemon that’s neutral to something. Burgundy uses thunder fang, and then when it does nothing, she reveals that this is part of her plan: now that Stoutland's teeth are around Palpitoad, it can use ice fang and freeze it. Even though she could have just used ice fang to begin with. A supersonic breaks the ice, and a mud shot/hydro pump combo finishes Stoutland off while Burgundy shouts things in French over the unnecessarily heroic music playing in the background. Everyone (except Trip and Burgundy) is extremely excited for Ash’s victory for some reason. Particularly strange is Bianca’s screaming for Ash, as if she had any stake in this whatsoever. Next up: Trip versus Cilan and a To Be Continued. Honestly, this is a pretty decent episode, but Burgundy is so damn annoying. -- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.Started: July 6, 2005 </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Anagram 08/08/12 4:19:00 PM #297:	THE CLUB BATTLE HEARTS OF FURY: EMOLGA VERSUS SAWK! "You think things will zig, but in the blink of an eye, they zag!" Score: 5/10 Snivy gets up and uses leaf blade, knocking Pawniard back. It gets its knife-claws stuck in the ground, and-- that's the second time in one battle. This is the most impractical thing in existence. Well, even someone as idiotic as Ash can take advantage of getting stuck and immobile twice, and Snivy defeats Pawniard while it's helpless again. Georgia blames her loss on the field rather on having a crappy pokemon, and you know she's mean because she doesn't tell her losing pokemon that it did a good job. OH MY GOD I apologize, folks. "Some girl" was actually a really, really effeminate guy named Antonio. Dino the Road Warrior Extra defeats him. Also, we get some more Bianca derping around, and Zorua turning into Georgia so Iris can compliment herself on film. This is what we call “padding.” Luke versus Cilan, and Luke asks Ash to keep the camera rolling for him. Ash is completely flabbergasted that someone would ask him for this favor. I, too, would be surprised if someone trusted Ash with an expensive piece of electronic equipment. Luke is unsure of himself, but Cilan gives him a pep talk about how to put aside your uncertainties and play to your best. Freddy and Don George talk about how that's unwise, and I expect Cilan is going to lose now. Cilan's Derpfish versus Luke's Larvesta. Man, this guy has a shiny Golett, a Zorua, and a Larvesta? Where is he getting these rare pokemon from? Derpfish starts with scald, and then we have more Bianca derping with Zorua. Cilan continues to give Luke advice, and so good is his advice that Luke actually gets better during the battle and stealing Cilan's ideas to have Larvesta jump into the air. A single flamethrower defeats Derpfish, taking everyone off guard. Well, uh, that’s kind of what you get when you assist your enemy in defeating you. Next up is Iris versus Stephan. Emolga versus Sawk. Sawk punches Emolga’s attract away, which uh I guess is the strategy elementary school boys use against girls AM I RITE LOL Emolga's lack of knowledge of flying-type moves is a problem, and Sawk begins kicking its ass - but its static ability paralyzes Sawk, which does not apparently matter because Sawk continues to kick its ass. However, Iris manages to stall Sawk long enough for the paralyzation to finally stop it from moving and hit it with a volt switch. Good for her on defeating a tertiary character, I guess. Round 3 will be Ash/Dino and Luke/Iris. I predict a 100% chance that Dino will defeat Ash. Ash sends out Palpitoad, Dino sends out Darumaka, and the episode ends with a To Be Continued. -- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.
