You know, this episode reminds me how much I hate the background characters half of the time.
Why? Because they're just that! Background characters. And yet in some episodes, they get more interesting designs than some of our generic Cotd's.
Why couldn't one of theseles,er fans be a Character of the Day?
I would like an episode where Pignite stops obeying her (pissed that it's the only one on her team that can DO anything yet isn't respected or cared for as much because it's not cute) and Iris could help her understand it's feelings to make some use of the Dragon Buster Episode.
Pignite is ALWAYS cute >:I
I think the problem is that all of those losses you mention, and the loss in this episode, where against regular trainers. No one really complains when Ash loses to a gym leader or an Elite 4 member, because they're supposed to be tough, and the E4 have always been portrayed as being pretty much untouchable, so it would be more surprising if he could beat them. Trainers in the leagues too are supposed to be really strong. But against a normal everyday trainer, we usually expect Ash to do much better, considering this is his 5th region and all. I know we can't expect him to win every single battle, but it is possible to overcompensate and make him look too weak, which is what some people feel is happening now
The only thing is, if Ash won all the time it'd be pretty boring. Had he used Charizard, Squirtle, and Bulba in Hoenn I'm sure he could and would have beaten Tyson. Not to get off topic too much, but all in all, Ash losing to Bianca's dad, while achieving in Bianca's journey still continuing is awesome writing.
Question: How many of you people complaining about how terrible the entire "imposing rules/go back to Masara" thing is actually understood the dialogue in the episode. I have this sneaking suspicion that number is 0.
...and I have to join those commenting on the "Charisma model" idiocy in the title. Who translates these things, anyway?
That may be true, but nice job actually providing us with what was actually implied. You know, what was stated?
I use the titles Bulbapedia has. If you don't like the way they translate them, go talk to them.
Also, please remember that if you disagree with someone's opinion on the episode, attack their argument by supporting your ideas on dialogue from the episode itself, not by telling other users what/how they should or should not be posting.
Edit: @Adamant If you want to make a suggestion for Bulbapedia, please take it to the Bulbawiki General Forum where it belongs.
