    Meh, I'd rather have less pokémon but have them better developped instead of giving characters pokémon just to give them pokémon. Kibago, Mole, Lizard with pants and a Crimgan could be a nice team for Iris.

    I agree Dento may only stay at 3 pokemon. I never really pegged this as a capture for him.
    I like that they are surprising us with that capture though inner me is marveling at the irony that they are giving Dento a rock-type pokémon!

Talk about something that gets old.

    When watching new D/P episodes, a notably big part of the new-episode-excitement was the music played, because, you know, they had four generations of game music and a dozen of movie soundtracks to choose from. The way the music is handled nowadays is totally a step in the wrong direction.
    Agreed. You think with 11 episodes already made, we would get a long rectangular table of new BGMs by now. So far, I only hear a handful of old BGMs were the new Team Rocket HQ played from the last DP episode (although it is relatively new), Pokemon Intro and that music played near the end of BW 10 used mostly in PKM Movie Trailers. So far, I hear about 15 or more new BGMs including the handful I listed.


    In regards to how many Pokemon Dent and Iris should have, I don't mind if it's a small number. However, if they're less developed throughout the show, it cancels out the decision.

    People keep comparing Dent with Brock, no wonder they all think he'll stay at 3 Pokemon. Now he won't get all six Pokemon, but I do expect four or five for him. The same thing goes for Iris.

    'Ih-mai! Ih-mai!'

    Lots of fun pokemon voices this series, huh?

    Such a gorgeous looking episode, so cheers again Tamagawa. It's was especially nice to see so many new faces drawn in his style. Iris, Yanap and Ishizumai all looked more adorable than usual, which is really saying something.

    Anywho, I honestly wasn't expecting Ishizumai to join up with the group, but I'm glad it did. I'm fond of it as a pokemon anyway, but it was also enjoyable as a character. I liked how gutsy it was in attempting to retrieve it's shell from those arsewipe bullies, even though it was outnumbered and comparitively smaller. Dent and Yanap kind of needed an episode like this, so I'm glad they got to interact with Ishizumai and each other quite a lot. Dent reaped more of the benefits from this ep, though. I still feel they could give Yanap a little more attention in the personallity department.

    Also, in the future, I want Ishizumai to do a spit take. Preferably into some poor soul's face/eyes.

    As for the Rocket scenes? My honest opinion? *bites lip* This stuff has become the 'DP Contest' arc of BW for me. It's like, I appreciate the whole idea behind it, but the thing is, I don't give two shits about the characters. If they were just allowed to keep their personallities, I'd be fanboying like a youngster with a propellor for a head. I guess such a complaint is kinda beating a dead horse, buuuuut, that's Grave-E for ya!

    What about "Bug Opposition" (whatever that means), TM76? It's a special attack we haven't seen animated before, so that might explain it.

    Yeah, I'll go with Bug Opposition until someone else is able to translate that attack Dento stated. It didn't look a thing like Rock Wrecker even if they re-did the animation techniques.

    i'm glad that Dento got Ishizumai. It was time for him to get some screen time, and it is a nice break from Mijumaru (don't misunderstand me, I adore Mijumaru. I just need breaks between his appearances).

    On the other hand, James needs to catch a pokémon. He still has a grand total of zero.

    Its Japanese name is Rock Cannon right? Then if that was it, all you'd have to do before adding it to Bulbapedia would be to simply listen for the name. Not that hard.

    I agree they should have had TR keep their old personalities. I don't mind them being more competent, but it does feel more and more that they don't have any personality anymore.

    Meowth is the only one that still feels somewhat similar to his old self.

    Tamagawa-san did a great job with this ep! But the little montage with The Rockets running through the lasers was a bit unnecessary. It would have looked epicer animated!

    So far, they've
    a) been told to go to x
    b) contacted other agents and been given a briefcase
    c) been told about the actual plot
    d) met with another agent and given him the briefcase
    e) stolen some data on the meteonite from a computer

    Aside from item c, and to a certain extent item d, this isn't buildup. Cutting item a and b wouldn't have had the slightest impact on anything. Item c aside, the plot isn't going anywhere, they're just tossing in another pointless thing for them to do in order to force an appearance.

    The arguments you're using apply to both old and new Team Rocket, so be consequent with yourself at least.
    Four out of the five most recent episodes have had a completely pointless Rocket scene that served no purpose. That was never the case before. And again, I never said they were important in every episode before, just that they never had anywhere near this amount of pointless forced appearances that don't affect the episode in the slightest.

    And at least before, their most pointless appearances were at least funny. The ones we get now are mostly just walking in circles around their separate sideplot, for the most part not advancing it in any way.

    Awesome artwork and animation. I hope the next Tamagwa episode won't be too far in the future.

    That that piece of music when Ishizumai was battling against the other two Ishizumi near the end was AWESOME. It's sounds like the full version of one of the eyecatch themes. It also reminds me of a track from the Movie 8 ost...

    ...I'm really loving the music in Best Wishes.
