    BW 014 "Shippou City! Big Adventure at the Museum!!"
    Satoshi and his friends have finally arrived in Shippou City! Satoshi heads straight for the Shippou Gym, eager to win the gym match and earn his second badge. However, the gym, which also serves as a museum, is suspiciously sealed shut, so a decision is made to sneak in and check it out. When they get inside, Satoshi and his friends hear a scream coming from a corridor! At that moment, a man named Kidachi comes running down the hallway. Kidachi is the vice curator of the museum and has gotten caught up in the strange things happening inside the museum. After listening to his story, it seems as if a ghost is causing strange phenomena to occur one after the other!

    What a fun episode!

    I really enjoyed Iris and Dent disagreeing in almost every point of the episode. It seemed like Dent was ... a skeptic? What did they argue about?

    Fun episode? I thought the beginning (where the gang was being shown around the museum) was dull as hell. The time seemed to drag on. I was desperate for some action, but even that seemed lackluster.

    And those people hoping Team Rocket might be behind everything... sorry, but no. They got an appearance that was brief even by their recent standards. They appeared for less than thirty seconds talking to Flint about the meteorite.

    In case you're wondering, Desukaan didn't appear in this episode (although an empty coffin resembling it did).

    I do wish Ash came up with something though like "maybe it's a Pokemon" or something but when it comes to gym battles Ash can't sit/stand still for one moment can he?

    As I expected this episode wasn't all that exciting outside of Dento's possession (loved the deep voice used), it just didn't seem to work very well. The plot seemed too forced/artificial to me, since it was too mystery and hardly any of Desumasu. It looked like they couldn't find any other way to showcase Desumasu. Though I admit I found it humourous when Desumasu flew and vanished in the sky at the end.

    But hey, Ash used Oshawott, I guess that's an upside.

    I thought it was fairly long compared to some recent episodes, but maybe I'm wrong, it was probably the episode itself, but it seemed like they kept talking on and on and on. Even though I couldn't understand it I was like "get to the point already."

    Though I'm very disappointed Team Rocket did not interact with Ash and co.

    Although I'm starting to wonder on something. We know all the other teams had various things happening in between episodes, obviously and only conveniently saw things when it involved Ash and co or maybe Team Rocket. Maybe this is the writers way of showing us stuff that normally wouldn't occur because it doesn't involve Ash and co.

    Well, I think the fact this thread has had only four... well, now five posts in the last four hours since airing proves just how unremarkable this episode was.

    Pretty much guessed this episode from the get-go...Desumasu simply wanted its mask back, and Miruhog would be used to reveal its true form. :P

    So, any changes to the OP or ED?

    Chaoboo was added, which means all the Pokemon in the opening are fully revealed. But apart from that nope.

    Also, as there was a preview of future events, there was no Professor Oak's Live Caster either.

    Who was the chick with the dark hair that approached the TRio in that alleyway?

    EDIT: Never mind... it's a guy. That's cool that we get to see a new TR member.

    Have you heard of the saying "opening a can of whoop-ass"? I did that once in a dream.... I opened an aluminum can labled "whoop-ass" on somebody, and they disintegrated.

    And "new"? It's his third actual appearance, and we saw his picture before those, too.
    So.

    Looks to be that way, as the air date for next episode is 01/06/11.

    The opening silhouettes of BW's Pokemon are now done and more new ones are coming in. Unless they considered adding in those Pokemon, we're stuck with the Best Wishes opening as it is now.

    Looks to me that Iris and Dento are not agreeing with ones theory with another this episode, which is a nice change and a small addition to their characters. Shame Ash was a bit clueless here but at least they didn't use the escape option during the haunting scenes and fought back instead like how I prefer him to do more often.

    Team Rocket is still in secret, much passive than the previous episodes. With the preview given, I look forward to their heavily active roles when they're given the episode(s).
    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.
