“Dealing with a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!” Review Thread

[Ryuutakeshi]

This episode could have sucked, which it didn't, but I would still love it for the fact Risa called Ash a noob.

[Ashfangirl22]

LOL This episode was funny, I loved the part when Ash was called a noob and he got all angry, his expressions when he found she was only doing it for a month was freakin funnyXD I loved this episode. It had some really funny moments, please noob girl doesn't deserve to be in Ash's scenes bahaha!!

[Pesky Bug]

I quite honestly didn't even hear Risa call Ash "noob". Guess I've grown so accustomed to it from playing MMOs that it didn't strike me as odd. xD

LOL this episode was hilarious. LOL at Narissa calling Ash noob a couple of times and then Ash saying noob as well. Oh dear goodness it was hilarious.

Shame they dropped the Mankey pun thing, it would've added to this episode's humor.

I really liked this more than the originals.

And -GASP- the dub did something the Japanese usually do all the time, and its a shame I can't mention it.

[Makuhita]

oh is her name flinta?
because she looks like flint.

[Dogasu]

So why is a character calling another character a "n00b" funny, again?

[V Faction]

Not noob, newb. Newbie.

I certainly wasn't expecting it. Got a chuckle out of me.

[Mijumaru]

oh is her name flinta?
because she looks like flint.

She's designed to look like that, but no. Her name wasn't Obita in Japanese.

Japanese: Makina
English: Nerissa, or Rissa for short

[Dogasu]

Not noob, newb. Newbie.

That doesn't answer my question.

[V Faction]

Why would I answer a rhetorical question?

[Nt '95 trainer]

Why would I answer a rhetorical question?

The phrase was quoted. Fun ep., and realistic ditto power.

[Adamant]

- Brock not feeling anything for Rissa. Oh dear Brock, finally there's a quite cute girl who admires you (and might even be in love with you) and all you can think of is hitting on a random girl with a miniskirt and seductive boots?? Oh, what a pity...
you know what? you deserved that triple poison jab for being so blind :P

She was like 10.

Shame they dropped the Mankey pun thing, it would've added to this episode's humor.

Did they even keep the "yankee" thing in the first place? The word doesn't mean the same in English as in Japanese.

But hey, apparently they did keep the fact that she had a nickname she wanted people to use. Nice to see that after they axed Kikuno's "alias" some episodes ago.

Excellent, excellent episode. Not only did it have a fun plot, it was basically loaded with hilarious moments. This may very well be one of my fav eps of the season, probably even entire DP.

Also, Meowth's "impressions" are never ever gonna get old.

So why is a character calling another character a "n00b" funny, again?

It's a word that's rarely ever heard on TV, let alone Pokémon of all things. The regular characters never talk like that, so hearing it from another character is unexpected.

Watching someone who's isn't a part of a culture use the slang associated with it poorly is funny to people.

Didn't you say that Makina used slang associated with youth in the Japanese version? It's pretty much the same deal here.

Wow. TPCI is still keeping the 90s alive and well with all that slang.

I grew up in the 90's. "N00b" is a 2000's term.

I grew up in the 90's. "N00b" is a 2000's term.

I meant when she said "homies".
