Iris and Monozu! Day Care Training!!


Animation - Team Kato
Screenplay - Atsuhiro Tomioka
Storyboard - Takenori Kawada
Assistant director - Yūji Asada
Animation director - Masaaki Iwane



While the group helps out at a Pokemon daycare, Iris develops a special bond with one of the Monozu.


And no, Iris didn't catch it.

I wonder if this episode would be like the Ash vs Khoury episode....One character show interest in a Pokemon in one episode and a few episodes later they catch it.

Anyway this episode was cute.

Was a resonably entertaining episode. not too fussed about the non capture. laughed at the attempted capture by both Ash and Iris. And hey the writers remembered that Ash had swadloon lol. how longs it been since he was seen? since before the tournament?

Came in here to say this.

A training battlw between Swadloon and Stunfisk! :D Quite possonale the two pokemon with the least screen time on the maincast!

I thought Deino was known for its aggressive eating tactics, but this episode has a shy one?

I noticed that too. Holy shit, he has slightly darker hair now though. XD

Considering that this episode has been hyped since September, I'm pretty annoyed that Iris didn't catch that damn Deino. Now it's four episodes in a row where nothing has happened at all.

As I said, the fillers returned to the series after Arty's Gym and haven't stopped. Granted its nowhere near as bad as the Johto saga was with fillers, but I do feel like we need more important events happening more than once every 10 episodes.

Yeah, but it's worse than Sinnoh. Even between the 2nd and 3rd gyms, and the 7th and 8th gyms, I don't recall there ever being four filler episodes in a row.

Well with the villains being absent and no secondary story like Contests to make episodes about, the writers don't have much to do besides Ash's Gyms and the few training eps we got.

At least Iris finally got another episode.

Surely the writers could do an evolution or a new capture, though. The last time one of the main character's teams were changed was back in the Roggenrola episode.
