"Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!" Review Thread

[Mijumaru]

Yes, I know it's ten minutes early, but I saw a thread that says to post these about one hour early.

So we're at the Ranger episode.

So they really were saving the ep for Guardian Signs and its special mission.

Worst dubbed Ranger episode ever! I should have known this episode would be terrible because of the fact that it was dubbed in between Keeping in Top Forme and An Elite Coverup; two of the worst dubbed episodes of the season. The use of Japanese dub music was short and the excessive use of English dub music was annoying. Although, I will say that Ranger Ben's voice sounded cool. I hope that next week, For the Love of Meowth will be like the episodes I've seen in the past couple of weeks.

Ehh, it was a decent ep. Team Rocket's "Lets give up like adults'' lines were hilarious. The only thing I can really say I dislike about it is how Heatran really should have made its debut earlier. It was one of the 4th gen pokes I really wish Ash had gotten the chance to battle.

Did they have a line saying, "On their way to the Grand Festival and Sunyshore city," at the beginning, because it was aired out of order?

Nah, they didn't say either. Not even at the end. The narrator just said something like, "As they continue their journey through the Sinnoh region!"

Boring episode. Like...really boring. Everyone was being so bland. Ash, Dawn, and Brock's reactions to like...everything Ben said was awful. Next week needs to come now, because I was severely dissapointed this week.

Only line that really stood out to me and made me laugh:

Ash: They're called Team Rocket, and they have one job and one job only!
Ben: Oh, is it to protect peace and justice?
Ash: No, that job is to steal Pokemon.
Ben: AH!

Isn't that the norm for the DP trio though? The only time they have good interactions is when Paul, Barry, villains, etc. show up.

This is one thing I never liked about the DP trio as a group.

What do you mean? You didn't watch the ep by yourself?

I think they didn't, but I don't know.

[Musashi]

Wow, the dub really sucked the fun out of this episode. It's been awhile since I saw this in Japanese, but I remember finding the Ranger a lot more amusing than I did here. Hopefully the TRio are getting the jokes out of their system while they still can...

Does anyone know if this is the last boss fantasy, or is there one more I've forgotten about?

[Froakie]

This episode was alright, though not the best.
Does anyone know if Ben was voiced by Billy Regan? He sounded vaguely like Conway.

[Lord_Mewtwo]

I'd say that Ben was voiced by Wayne Grayson as that's who it sounded like to me. As far as the episode goes other than the usual music complaints the dub's script was almost accurate, but I liked this episode in Japanese better.

[The Miniryu]

I just wish he used legandary signs(not just feraligatr) and ukelele pichu... why no pichu? other than that, it was good.

[Samurott]

I didn't know the Ranger Sign could just manifest a pokemon out of nothing. I thought it just called the nearest member of that species towards you. Then again, that would come with a number of problems, wouldn't it? Oh well. Why does every have to enunciate the T? :P Wow, you're way too enthusiastic there, Ranger. Once again, pokemon are captured way too easily in this ep. Pretty meh.

[Ivysaur]

Watched it due to the fact I'm really enjoying Guardian Signs at the moment. It doesn't do the game justice, really.
