Review AG137: The Kingdom of Iwark!!

[Roses Ablaze]

I'm surprised nobody's made a topic for this yet (or else someone has and I'm just blind x_X).

Here's the pic:

I can't read Japanese, so obviously I can't translate the description.

Babelfish says:

When it faces to the battle arena, the ちゅ う, サトシ kept entering to in the mountain where the rock being lazy is steep. サトシ which there the ゅ we have decided to walk the mountain path and to become tired and to become ヘトヘト, to be possible and to do to be to receive. When it does, in the being less crowded which releases the just a little eye, ポケモン of サトシ puts away イシツブテ and quarrel for the first time. イシツブテ which happens, the king of this rocky mountain, requests help from イワーク....

Another filler. Nothing terribly exciting from the preview.

 

[FabuVinny]

I see Geodude and Onix, but do any belong to Brock? If not, then there isn't much to get excited about.

 

[Unregistered]

No. It's been obvious a few episodes ago that Brock did not take any old Pokemon with him.

Just another worthless filler as we wait for D/P so we can then watch Ash go on yet another repetitive badge quest.

 

[FabuVinny]

But his old Pokémon could theoretically turn up in this episode. (It's highly unlikely, but still...)

 

[Chatsy]

Freaky imagination of Ash with a scary expression and a beard = Funny episode XD

Yes, I'm naive =X

 

[Jolllly]

I still want Bruno. D: Not fair.

 

[FabuVinny]

Soooo...did anything interesting happen?

 

[Habunake]

Hmm, judging from the pics on Filb, it looks like Squirlte used Water Gun, Munchlax used something, and Phanphy used Hyper Beam.

Oh, and at the end Ash and his friends ride off on Onix.

Pretty decent filler thou, judging by pics.

 

[Zhen Lin]

On Pokeani, someone mentioned Phanpy using Hidden Power - perhaps that would end up looking like Hyper Beam.

 

[Chatsy]

It seemed Phanpy had matured a lot since it now actually took care of the baby Squirtle, instead of needing to be taken care of itself.

But I couldn't make out from the pics what the lying about Ash was for, nor the whole plot in general, but I'm sleepy so I have an excuse xD

From what I could pick out, TR was saying that Satoshi-tachi and their Pokémon were really bad and terrible (and she's scared!), and were going to do something or other to the Pokémon in the "kingdom" and told them to catch them for the sake of the "kingdom". Of course, they were really planning to use them to catch Pikachu. I couldn't understand what the heck Musashi was raving, other than what sounded to me like "Toku ni jari boi no [fukushi?] no bukka, PIKACHU WA [something something]-KISHITE KUDASAI!" Nope, I don't understand that.

 

[Joey]

It was definately fillerful, but I still liked it quite a bit. Bearded Ash - I need an avatar of that or something. I also thought Phanpy taking care of baby Squirtle was rather cute, kinda like an older sibling type thing. Other then that, fillerific.

 

[Geodude]

I have yet to see it, but even from the preview, the attack Phanpy used was clearly Hidden Power. It can't even learn Hyper Beam, and it looked like a Hidden Power, so yeah.

 

[Murgatroyd]

This was one of the better "Pokemon-get-separated-from-trainers" episodes, but that's not saying a whole lot.

 

[Geodude]

It was entertaining, yep.

-Nice to see May get Squirtle to attack for the first time.

-I like episodes where Meowth does translating, that isn't seen as much as it should be.

-I'm disappointed that the only Rock attack we saw was Rollout, despite being in a rocky area. What exactly do the writers have against showing Rock Throw/Slide anyway? They're way too rare.

But I don't like complaining too much. Overall, solid ep.

 

[V Faction]

May's Squirtle is a tiny little sucker. Corphish looks MASSIVE next to it (then again, it is pretty chunky now). Hell though, even Phanpy was bigger. Talk about a 180. If they wanted this season to show how Phanpy has grown, well then I believe they picked a good one.

So many Golem...

 

[Cybersai]

Were there Graveler?

 

[Kthleen]

Yes. There were plenty of each Geodude line member.

As far as I could see, there are 15 each of Graveler and Golem, and... more than nine Geodude, probably around 15 also.

 

[Geodude]

Indeed.
