Ah, my thoughts... my thoughts... uh, like many have stated, Bel is BW's Barry: impatient, hyperactive, competitive. More disorganized and very messy. Hopefully her new Chillarmy will clean up her act and not look out for her too much or become messy itself. I'm also interested about her father as it seems he doesn't allow Bel to travel. I wonder if her working for Professor Araragi is an excuse for that?
Hyper Voice, Double-Slap, Attract and Tickle are impressive moves. I thought Chillarmy knows its signature move here but that doesn't seem to be the case.
The battle between Chaobuu and Pikachu was pretty quick as he took Heat Stamp, Take Down and Nitro Charge while Pikachu ended it using only Volt Tackle.
Outside of her loss, Bel is pretty cute and I look forward for her next appearance. Episode all together was full of fun and random compared to previous episode's heartwarming one.
Loved Osh's Shell Saber.
Ah yes. This seem to be the completed list of the opening's Pokemon silhouettes. Wonder how long until a new opening surfaces? Better not be like DP's length. The revamps of those 3 openings made my ears bleed.
People cannot protect their precious ones only with kindness. I am prepared to protect my important friends. Even if I will be called the devil! There's no way you can win, when you don't have bond with friends.

Pikachu kindly decided to replicate my facial expression at the Bel vs Satoshi battle.
I really hope it takes a backseat soon.
As everyone else has said, Bel was simply pure entertainment! I can't wait for her to appear again (so here's hoping she will) and I think she would make decent shipping material with Dento :P DirtySpoonShipping.
Finally got to see it. It was a brilliant episode all round, chock full of laughs. As far as funny rivals go, I've gotta say, Bel beats out Barry imo, and that's saying something. Pretty much every time she's on screen she's doing something funny or just being, at the risk of sounding like a broken record here, freaking adorable.
"My name's Bel! Pleased to meet you!" *wave to audience*
Good ol' fashioned 4th wall breaking.
Ash: "That's it Mijumaru, Shell Bla-"
Bel: "HYDRO PUMP! HYDRO PUMP, HYDRO PUMP!! XD"
Good ol' fashioned enthusiasm.
Also, Heat Stamp? Could've fooled me. Looked more like Hot Buns.

I've always assumed Bel was Barry in a dress. While an expy character is usually a bad thing, it worked well here. I guess it helps that Bel has a pretty powerful Chaobuu, and her antics did not get old yet.
Personally, the highlight for me was Pikachu finally getting a victory. Now I don't believe he should be some lv 100 Pokegod like some do, but I think he's been jobbing way too hard this season. Give the guy a break.
It's just a shame Pokabu didn't make an appearance alongside his evolution. This is clearly an insult to Ash's pig bro.
I forgot to mention the animation bit here. When Ash swings his hand, it instantly goes to the next scene towards the attack. Another plus for Best Wishes. Also love the part Chillarmy accidentally got itself caught.

Manly Chillarmy voice creeps me out.
I really like the uncurved, Lightsaber-esque Shell Blade, the curved one just seems too short to be of much use.
And I loved the capture of Chillarmy, and this is what I think Chillarmy was saying during that scene.
Chillarmy: Dirty dirty dirty must clean must clean must-
Pokeball opens.
Chillarmy: Oh, shi-
Anyway, I also loved Pikachu's expression after Heat Stamp. Like: Okay, that is IT! I'VE HAD IT!
That is what we call a Critical Hit, my friend.
This episode was amazing. Just finished watching it and love it, my favorite episode so far. Belle is adorable and like others said, she's the Jun of this generation.
+ Shirtless Dento (can't say I expected to ever see that haha) and Satoshi
+ Belle dirtying Dento's cooking utensils and him whining over it
+ Chillarmy is ADORABLE BEYOND WORDS, same goes for Chaobuu
+ Chillarmy using Attract on Tsutarja
+ Mijumaru's new Shell Blade
+ Chillarmy's Hyper Voice
+ Belle's overall clumsiness
+ The facial expressions made by the whole group
I swear, the trio this generation have so much more personality than what I've been used to, which is a great thing.
EDIT: OH... is that an IPAD I see with the Rocket Gang? XD +1!

Come post in the Garden Grotto!

female rival FTW!!!! Bit annoying that it sounds like she's just an expy of Jun though. First they make Shooti a bit too much like Shinji, and now the possible secondary rival is Just Jun with a gender flip? Still can;t wait to see this episode though.
Ash's badge case back in Shinou had the same indents that matched all the game badges (and inexplicably, the game *order* of the badges), but in the end they still showed a few non-game badges. I wouldn't be surprised if they do the same thing this saga.I like how the gym badge case had little indents made specifically for each badge. This makes me think that they won't have any of the other characters earn badges from gym leaders not in the games.

Bel is so amazing!! I am so glad that she appeared early in BW, I really hope this means that she will show up a lot. I think I laughed every time she was on screen.
Chillarmy is adorable, of course. Chillarmy and Bel are going to have interesting chemistry, as in Chillarmy is a neat freak and Bel seems a bit... messy.
I'm glad that Satoshi got the chance to battle her.
Haha yes, I agree!! and Dirtyspoonshipping is a better name than the one they have now for them....
This episode was awesome. Chillarmy after using Attract on Tsutarja made me laugh so hard. And I liked how Mijumaru turned its shell into a sword. Dent crying over his spoon was also pretty funny.
I don't know japanese, so does anyone know what the typical anime fall was for when Belle was talking about her Chaobuu in the bushes while watching Ash?
In regards to the badge cases and having different indents, look what happened in Sinnoh:
Well, this is Ash's Sinnoh badges:
Then Barry's:

Well,
The Good News is

BUT THEBADGOOD NEWS IS
WE GOT A FEMALE RIVAL AND A FUNNY ONE
WIN-WIN baby
This is really all I need to know. :3Shirtless Dento
On another, easily the funniest episode of the season so far.
