“A Real Rival Rouser!” Review Thread

Yeah since poison is similar to burn in the games and how burn was portrayed in the previous battle I thought the purple energy would flash everytime a move was done.

Me too, I mean if you poison someone or burn them you should at least let it show. I mean Urasring was only shown to be burned after it was affected by Blaze Kick, but after that it didn't show up again. Despite it using multiple moves after, it was not shown to be taking any damage again from it.

Aagron was different it was shown to be burned but was knocked out on the next turn. Drapion in the upcoming episode was knocked out because it was burned like Staraptor was knocked out after it got poisoned.

In the end though the staff probably wanted to save some cash and finish the episode rather than do the whole viewers are goldfish thing. Still doesn't explain why Brock explains the most basic things every battle though.

Yeah, that's true profit over substance strikes again...and yeah that does get annoying

I really don't get why Torterra wasn't given a win.

It makes it look like everything Torterra did in the series, (since it was a Turtwig), amounted to nothing. Its even more strange when you realize Torterra never won a single battle in its final form, not counting a TR blast-off.

Really surprised they didn't follow up on the Honchkrow/Turtwig/Grotle rivalry. That was a pretty big highlight of Ash and Paul's last full battle. Then again, who would've expected Paul to use a really random team...
